Wales, through her schools. Is about
to launch an experiment. Schools and
colleges have-been Invited to mslce a
collection of all ths Welsh field, place
and road names. Including those of
lanes, hills, woods, mounds and dykes,
and to mark on the sir-Inch ordnance
ipap the spots to which the names are

A fund has been placed at the dis

provide the materials for the records,
which will be collated by the board
of Celtic studies In connection with
the university of Wales, and deposited
In the Welsh library.
Each school Is recommended to re
tain a duplicate of the record, which,
can be added to from time to time.
Space is provided for supplemental
information on such matters us the
existence of rural industries; the
survival of old or curious customs or
crofts; peculiar words or pronuncia

ings; the use of old agricultural Im
plements; particulars of interesting
local "characters" who may' have
been distinguished by their oddities,
their benefactions, or their services
during the war.
Though it is intended for Wales,
there is no reason why a similar
scheme should not be put into force
In the other parts of the United King

hit upon a method of making the
teaching of history and geography a
very living thing, of great educational

FOUND MILLIONS FOR OTHERS
Man Who Discovered the Famous Corn
stock Lode Profited Little by
Their Great Luck.
The famous Comstock lode, greatest
of silver deposits, was discovered in
1858 by three prospectors, Pete O'-
Riley, Pat McLaughlin, and "Old Pan
cake" Comstock, while washing gravel
for gold. They were in bard luck.
Needing water for their rockers, they
dug a hole four feet deep and came
upon a bed of sulphide of sliver. \Not
knowing what it was they tried it for
gold, with highly satisfactory results,
though cursing the "Infernal blue
sand" that clogged thfelr primitive ap
paratus.
The blue sand was an outcropping of
the wonderful lode, one vein of which,
800 feet wide, came afterward to be
kiiown as the "Big Bonanza," yielding
ore that was nearly half silver. From
this sour«e were derived tfie mult (mil
lions of Mackay, Flood, O'Brien and
Fair—the last-named being a young
mining engineer, while the other three
were everyday miners. The discoverers
sold out for small sums. "Old Pancake"
blew out his brains; O'Rlley went in
sane and McLaughlin died a poor man.

Winter Is the season when the poul

only a little lumber and time for con

If new nests, feed troughs, drinking

to make them.
Perhaps the roosts need replacing.
United 'states department of agrt

satisfactory perch a 2 by 3 inch scant
ling set edgewise the upper edge
slightly rounded.
Allow *7 to 10 Inches of perch for
each fowl; that Is, a perch 10 feet long
would furnish room enough for 20
fowls. ' A smooth platform should be
placed under the perches to catch the
droppings. The perches should be
from 6 to 10 lnche9 above this plat
jform so as to allow tj)e droppings to
be removed without removing the
perches. It is usually desirable to
have the platform some distance from
the floor, from 2 to 2% feet, in order

"simply had to get back," so he just
"took a train "
At the Wlllesden court, where he
was taken after arrest for defrauding
the railroad, Martin told the judge:
"You let me go. Judge, and I guess
' the American consul will pay the rail
road." The magistrate replied:
i "We will lend- yon 10 shillings ont
of the court funds, and from that you
■ will pay the railroad , and your ex

Price of Wives Doubled
Lord Dewar, who has just re
turned to London from central
Africa, in giving an account of
his travels there said the in
creasing cost of living in the
district he visited was reflected
in the higher prices for wives
paid by the natives.
Whereas a fine sixteen hands
high wife cost four spearheads
. in prewar days, she now costs
eight spealtieads. In the cattle
districts, the price of a wife at
