Tba making of mountains Is Illus trated by the Bogoalof Islands off the coast of Alaska. Tbey are volcanic Islands which Hen to afford aa ex ample of Dr. T. J. See'a theory that coastal mountain ranges are first thrown up paralrel to the coast line of d continent by tbe explosions which result when tbe ocean percolates through Its bed to tbe heated rocks below. , Dr. Bee's suggestion Is that succes sive percolations and the resultant ex plosions dig a trench In tbe sea bot tom during the course of ages, one ridge of the excavated trench- being thrown n seaward, there to wait per haps for a million years till It is es tablished as a submarine mountain range, and the; sea drains out from be tween it and.- the existing continent. The Bogoaiot volcanic Islands con firm this suggestion, for they and the Alentiaa -Islands are part ot a ridge which Is being fr ned more or less parallel to tbe northern coast line of North America, The . ridge suffers many vicissitudes and the Islands ars never safe from ainklng. Tiw last of them, Perry Island, rose from, the sea about tbe time of tbs Ean Francisco earthquake. 190. Plrs Island, its younger brother, rose In 1863. Castle island, the oldest, had been known since 179. Tbs latest Island was believed to havs disap peared in 1947. It Is now reported that Fire Island has vanished also. A party, of explorers who had Intended doing a little surveying about the Isl ands could not at first find them at all. : Later it reports that the higgeat of the three : islands has sunk to a reef. Orluln of 'the Club Sandwich. Alan Johnstone Is said to have orlginatea tbe t&mous club sandwich, anu the story runs that on going to the club one xdght between midnight and daybreak fhm found the cafe closed, the cooks gone, and being nearly famlsbea, be Invaded the lard er, toasted himself some thick slices of bread, siloed them through, butter ed them while hot and laid thereon everything he found In the refrigera tor, cold chicken, bam and lettuce. with a spoonful of mayonnaise. The result was such an epicurean discovery as is not often made, but the story waa too good to keep; ha confided the recipe to his cronies and it straightway became one of the popular dishes of tbe club menu,' add so tbe father-of the, club sandwich, so drservedly popular.

"When it cornea to consuming gas in large miantitiee blind people caa beat their seeing brethren ail hollow." said aa inspector of the gas company. "1 know two families where both hus band and wife are blind. Every Jet Is turned on full tilt in their homes at night, and la kept going at that rate clear up tar it o'clock. Light and darkness are ail the same to The af flicted ones, bat they Insist upon Illu mination brilliant enough for a recep tion. Anl that partiality for light is not a whim peculiar to those two cou ples. Most blind people feel that way. They demand the light, and in all pri vate homes and institutions wr -re the blind are cared for the gas bills rjch for. the strange fancy.' Right Action.

It seems strange to the oa Initiated ihut to ere should be a "season" for jckneas aud one for health, but sack is tbe esse, according to a trained eurse. "Everything is very quiet lust Bow," aatd one tbe other day. "tee many Burses are eat, the doctors have plen ty of time and tbe druggists are com plaining of alow business, but a little later it val be different. Our busy season begins usually when the opera dots, though the two hsve no con nection. Late November finds us all busy. February is one of our best months." Sorrows of Childhood. "By George." said the expatriate, "the unnaturalness of living in an apartment never struck me-so forcibly as wben laat Bight my two kids laid their tetters to Banta Claua oa the top ot tbe steam radiator and went off to bed trying to figure how Banta Claua could corns down the steam pipes snd up through tbs colls.

It is only a little thing, but it makes a lasting impression, and that Is ths way some people make It a point always to ask sfter a cer tain member of the household. It nay be the Invalid mother, or fa ther, or a convalescent child, or per haps the baby. Just who is the tubject of Inquiry makes little dif ference, bnt this fart that-a friend recognises that your home life cen ters, for ths time, more ' or less tround one member is pleasing. There are some good friends who sever think to make Inquiries about Any of ths family. It Is Impossible lot to contrast'" them with those who ere quite the opposite in their '.honghtfulness. " One person never 'alls to ask how near relatives are. 3he realizes how close the ties are. Does such an Inquiry make the day brighter? Indeed, It does. Glass' Shelves. At very little cost one can hsve a neat glass bathroom shelf made with nickel or porcelain brackets to kold the collection of bottles, brush es and salve pots that tbe modern woman Includes smong her toilet requisites. These shelves are sold In an assortment of sites snd are made of thick plain glass with rounded corners. A few of the self labelled drug and toilet bottles that are now offered at prices ranging from thirty-five cents up will be useful to bold toilet water, tooth wash and the ether essential aids to cleanli ness and daintiness. Tbe Odor of Psint. Every one knows that an onion baa a distinct and unpleassnt odor, whether cooked or raw. But every one does not fenow that this odor of an onion will draw to It every other dlssgreeable odor snd clesr the at mosphere. In a day. . The onion can then be thrown away and with it goes the dlssgree sble smells that come about In a house that has been closed for the summer. And this ia also a good thing to kaow: That it will absorb all the odor from fresh paint and turpen tine. - House walk Mtttews. Kitchen mittens can be bought in several thicknesses and sites for ys rtous branches of housework. There are thick ones with straps arrow ths wrist to wear when polishing the range, then there are others to put en whsa scrubbing Boors or slnkr and still thinner ones with chamolt cloth Insldes to use for pollahln?. silverware. These . mittens sre s great protection to the hands ssd Sager nails, and they really simplify ths work more than those women who hsve not availed themselves of this convenience realise. Torres Rack.

A parallel of tula feeling is found In the Eastern tale of Nashr Eddii Hodga. who met a peasant one day with a donkey, over whose back hung two sacks, one filled with stones, the other with wheat the stones having been added to balance the wheat "Why not divide tbe wheat .nto two parts instead?" sug gested Nasbr Eddla Hodgs. Delighted with the idea, tbe peasant did aa he was advised, and hung ths two sacks of wheat over the donkey's back "And where are your lands, O wist stranger?" he asked, humbly. "1 have no lands," answered the other. "Youi estates, then, and your palaces?" In quired the Peasant I have none.' said the other. "Tbsa your' stoWses your gardens, your orchards?" per slated ths man. amazed. "I have jone of tbese," smiled the sage. "What!' cried the outraged peasant "Do you who have ao lands and no possessions presume to give advice to me?" And be unloaded tbe donkey, rearranged the wheat and stones aa before, and proceeded on hla way. All Use Fans. No nation In the world uses such quantities of fans, which are employee by both sexes.
