Records say that it is about 1,600 years of age. Taking root near the great Roman road, some three miles from Wetherby, it became one of the mightiest oaks in England. On one occasion 100 children gathered in Its hollow trunk. In 1842 the tree was estimated to contain 74 tons of timber, the trunk was GO feet in circumference, it was 43 feet high, and Its main branch 50 feet 6 inches long. Rut where once (it is said) boughs spread' over half an acre, there remain only Its huge gaunt limbs. Every spring, however, green leaves still appear among the topmost branches, and workmen are doing what thw can to keep the giant alive for *a few year* v Counting tha Stan . -. When, on a dark, clear night, one looks at the glory of the akles it #eems as though the stars in the heav .|^ns were Infinite in number, says Na- ........jfure Magazine.

Wawer Give Illusion of Heat Currents •very one with sharp eyes has sen wriggling waves coming up from a hot pavement in the summer; and most every one believes that on these occa sions he sees heat radiating from the pavement. But not so, says a bulletin from the Better Vision institute of New York city, a natlonal organlsatton of eyesight specialists. What is actually seen are light refractions caused by currents of air of lighter density arising from the heated surface. The light waves are bent and a wriggling Illusion . results. A stick thrust into water appears bent for when waves of any kind (light, heat or electric) travel in one kind of material and enter another, their di rectlon. in general, is changed. Even in matter of different densities, as the convection currents arising from a hot pavement, refraction of the rays, results. •' The twinkling of the stars and the mirages of the desert are also explained away by . the Better Vision In stltute as phenomena of refraction. Even the position of stars above the horizon is distorted by their rays en tering the atmosphere of the earth. Astronomical refraction, as It is known to star-gazing scientists, makes heavenly bodies .appear higher above the horizon than they really are. New Pontiac Isr Straight Eight Newly designed throughout and with an entirely new straight eight 77-horsepower motor perfected during two years of engineering development work, the 1933 Pontiac went on display Saturday as General Motors' latest offering in the low price field. Factory list prices start at $585. Smooth, flashing performance and exceptionally high economy have been cortfcined in the big straight eight motor which has a cylinder displacement of 223.4 cubic inches and an almost "square" ratio of bore to stroke.

This picture was painted Why Elections in Maine Are Held in September The federal Constitution in Article I, Section 45, gives the legislatures of the states the right to prescribe the time, place and. manner of holding elections for senators and representatives, though congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to places of choosing senators. In 1845 congress fixed the first Tuesday after the first Monday In November as the day for choosing Presidential electors, and that Is the general election day. Even In Maine, Presidential electors are chosen on tha^ .date, in. accordance with Article II, Section 7, Division 4 of the Constitution. When the act of 1845 was passed, an exception was made in the case of states which had a different election day specified In their state constitutions. These Included Maine, Arkansas and Oregon, but these two latter* states changed their constitutions to conform.

Why Word "Carnival" ii Odd Among the many paradoxes in our language we find the word "carnival" to describe a merrymaking. A "carnival" is usually a festival or merrymaking with a touch of the Indecorous or riotous, a celebration not limited for lack of enthusiasm. And usually a carnival Includes feasting. Sur: prising then, that the word should literally mean "the taking away of meat." And that is how it started, the first carnival being the season or festival formerly observed in Roman Catholic countries immediately before Lent. The name was appropriate to that particular occasion, since it is composed of the'Latin "carnis," flesh, and "lavare"' to take away!--Kansas City Star. four-ring pistons and the drilled con necting rods are balanced to a plus or minus limit of one-half the weight of a copper cent.

The su perstition regarding its bad luck began in the Fourteenth century at the time of the Black death, particularly In Venice. At that time the opal was a favorite of the Italian Jewelers, but It was said that opals worn by those stricken with the disease became suddenly brilliant, and that their luster departed upon the death of the owner. Thus the opal became associated with death and an object of dread. ^ * Why Scale* Are Whit* it has been suggested by one authority that the white bellies of certain species of fishes are a form of protective coloration.
