VOL. LI Canaries From Home Habitat Vie for Prizes New York. —The wild canary la due for ita debut before the footlights In New York. A company of these genuine Canary Islanders is coming here to star in the bird chorus managed by the Interna tional Roller Canary Breeders' associa tion at their show. December 14-19. Bird fancler« f-,mi all part l " of the United States will brine their domestl - cated songsters to match the tremu lous trill of their blue-blooded an cestors. The New York Canary club announces that more than 5.000 ca naries will be In competition for prizes. The f wild canary is not more than five and one-half Inches in length. Some of Its domestic relations meas- j ure eight inches. Most of the varieties, ' of which twenty-seven were recog nized as early as the EI 'hte°nth cen tury; by French fanciers differ mere ly In color and markings of the plum age. •The natural song of thp canary ts light and clear, and In their native groves, especially during mat'ng sea son, the birds sometimes sin? with such ardor that they burst the delicate vessels of the throat. One of the most valued varieties has at first hlac'' wlnp and taf feath ers, a peculiarity which disappears after the first molting. The less de sirable are those on which the plum age Is Irregularly spotted and speckled. A Tiative of the Canary islands and Mdduira. was first domesti cated''ln'ltaly In the Sixteenth cen turyi It soon spread over Eurqpe and later to America.

How to Drive a Screw To drive a screw through soft wood take a nail allghtly smaller In diam eter than the screw and drive it through the first thickness. Then re move the nail with a hammer, put a bit of soap on the end of the screw, Insert the soapy end in the nail hole and use your screwdriver. The screw will enter and turn easily without splitting the wood, as it would have been to do if no hole bad been made for it to follow, in driving a screw into hard wood use a small drill to make the hole, then soap the ead of the screw aad drive as directed.— €Wt By Way of Suggestion A correspondent in a contemporary wants to know how » Jazz pianist can be secured The best way la to hand cuff h's hands behind his back and '• - H'im in * riKiH-'lili no piano.— ... i • •'"« Fierce Fighting In the battle of Frledland In East •r i »"n» ii" ,o *>" the French fi M "rofit *ni Uiimmuu for. *-•■* » eve* 23.000 killed and wapsQp4 piAn> f am rhxnkf-'l , ( i rouble de . ,i i.- Him a».

They especially relish a laugh when It is on themselves, George 8. Dougherty writes, in the Saturday Evening Post A rope ladder thief had successfully finished one of his difficult Jobs,. Fas tening a rope ladder to a chimney on u roof, he had to climb down to a window below, force an entrance, climb up with his loot and make his xetaway. Coming out of the door he saw his own shadow in the yard and was so nervous that he fired at It, thereby bringing about his arrest. A mishap of that kind will cause great mirth in criminal circles. A pickpocket worked all summer without an accident. Every week he nt a good proportion of his mqpey mule to his sister and mother. Com ing home himself, after warm greet .ngs, he wanted to know what had '>een .done with the money. "Why, Jim, I'll tell you," said the sister, a little hesitating. "You're In such a dangerous business that we oft en feel worried about you, so we gave the money to buy a stained-glass win low in the church." After his arrest, a skillful counter feiter told me How his undoing came nbout. He had been a sign painter and was decidedly artistic and skillful. Coming to New York he took a down town office, painted "Real Estate'! on ihe door, and used It as a workshop ■or painting Imitation bank notes. He said that though It took no more time or work to imitate a SIOO bill In n a twenty, he had to make five ■eiities to get change for SIOO be aiise the 20-dollar bills were more easily passed. It was a SIOO counterfeit that led to his downfall. Finishing It ate one afternoon, he started for ome, but stopped In a saloon to buy a drink and a bottle of whisky.

In a wide swamp near Chicago quantities .of white oak logs are being recovered, the remains of a great forest that was sub merged seven or eight thousand years ago. Although the outer layers of wood have decayed, slime chemical agent in the soil lias made the remainder hard and durable and glveq it a delicate color, for which It 1b much prized. Gold prospectors in the Char lotte plains In Australia recently discovered In the bed of a river long since dried up a valuable de posit of timber known as the she oak. Many of the logs unearthed had the appearance of having been cut and trimmed by human agency. This wood Is also noted for Its' toughness, and Is em ployed In the manufacture .of or naments and toilet articles. In the peat bogs In Ireland de posits of bog oak are frequently encountered. This substance Is Jet black and exceptionally hard, and provides a profitable indus try for the inhabitants, who fash lon It Into ornaments, pipes, crosses, and so on. Certain New Zealanders obtain a livelihood by digging for kauri gum, an amber-colored, resinous substance derived from the kauri pine, and used In the preparation of special varnish. The fossilized vegetable resin known ds amber Is also dug out of the earth, and in some parts of Germany and In Jutland there are pits made spe cially for finding the substance. How This Man. Became His Own Grandfather How a man Is his own 'grandfather Is explained by a correspondent of the London Mall, In this manner: I married a widow with a daughter. My father, who was a widower at the time, frequently visited us. He fell In love with the daughter and even tually married her. My father thus became rtfj son-in-law and my step daughter my mother-in-law. Shortly afterward my wife gave birth to a son, who Is naturally my father's brother-in-law and at the same time my uncle, for he Is the brother of my stepmother. To make matters more involved, my father's wife also became the mother of a son. This boy Is my brother and also my grandchild. My wife Is logically my grandmoth er, for she Is my stepmother's mother. I am therefore my wife's husband and grandchild, and since the husband of anyone's grandmother is his grand father, I have to acknowledge that I am my own grandfather. How Red Pepper Can Save Red pepper that "makes you sneeze has found a respectable and worthy use In the world, says Popular Science Mbnthly. It can save human lite. Capt. Frank B. Gorln, secretary of tbe Chemical Warfare aasoclatlon, recent ly made this discovery. A volatile oil is derived from tbe red pepper. This can be mixed with the Illuminating gas that 4ows through your gas mains. Then If the flame should blow out and gas escape Into a room, anyone breathing it is seized with such violent coughing and burn ing of the eyes that he has to run from the gas-laden atmosphere Thus accidental asphyxiation Is prevented. Slow Growths of Oaks England's famed oaks are disap pearing. Mnny oaks were cut down during the wsr, aa tbe wood was ur gently needed. Said a botanist: "Ths wood of an oak is not really any good until the tree la four hundred years old, and people today cannot afford to grow oaks for posterity. Originally large parts of England were covered wltli oaks. The tree Is almost a rarity now In some places. It Is said that an oak takes 400 years to grow to full size, la mature for another 400 years, and takea 400 years more to decay. | In some cases I should say this la tree" How to Fight Mosquitoes In fighting tbe mowqultoes In tbe South, a public health official hit upon the idea of saturating sawdust with oil composed of kerosene and waste crank case oil. The sawdust was then broadcast over the troublesome water or swamp just as a farmer would sow grain. In a short time It becomes waterlogged and sinks, lesving s film of oil on the swamp or water. As the gronnd wood continues to give off the all for several daya the film Is ro> j sewed during that time.
