Washington.--Of all the queer Jobs in the world probably none is strange* than that of official weather vane. Imagine having a position at a fair salary with nothing to do but to tell in wliith direction the wind Is blowing ---or likely to blow! This job exists at the weather bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture here and it is a busy one, for numbers of people all over the country write in to find out in what direction the wind is coming frodi1, The inquirers are not humorists, professional .or otherwise, who have nothing else to do and want to stir up a little annoyance and excitement. They are people with serious Interests in life. The maxim that it Is an ill wind that blows nobody any good has in a measure been adopted by the hu man wind indicator at the nation's capital. It is his business to find out if any air disturbance variously known as a zephyr, a gale or just plain wind, is going to work any one any harm. --" J Must Report on Wind. TJjpse especially Interested In determining air curi»ent8 have* specific objects in view, suolvas to find out the prevailing direction of a wind in a certain locality in which a glue factory or a garbage disposal plant has been or will be established. Officials of a city government, the heads of a manufacturing plant, real estate dealers or mere householders may' all be interested in determining the prevailing direction of winds in a given region. It is a cliniatological point which piust be investigated and determined upon. Who is better fitted to report on the knotty problem than the weather man at Washington? And so the party interested sits down and writes a letter. The iet/er goes to the weather bureau and the human weather vane gets to work. It becomes his business to find out and report on all the actions of the suspected and. maybe, guilty air current, in other words, it Is his business to' know from which quarter of the earth a wind is likely to emerge and how often it may do so within a specified time. Of course, if it is a no-account, shifty, unstable wind, or one that Ui' likely to Wow from all quarters at once, why he is supposed to knowthat, too. Anything Is' welcome to the inquirer if it sheds light on the kind of wind he or she is interested in. This sought after information may persuade the writer to buy di4 not to buy property IB a location that the wiftds adversely affect. Get Many Queries. r*A steady stream of letters Aows In to us from interested people seeking information on a wide variety of subjects," said a weather bureau official recently "Immediately information may be wanted on the current or seasonal weather, or more particular facts concerning the climate or prevailing weather conditions of a particular locality.

One ir a fifteen- carat rose diamond for which tt is said the late Kmperor Nicholas refused an offer of £15<M)00. The other is a seventeen-carat4 emerald. The paper says the grand duchess wants between £50,000 (about $250,000) and £00,000 (*300.000) for the two. Moles Long Cherished as Marks of Beauty For centuries, it would seem, moles have been considered a jreal mark of beauty. The truth of the matter Is, * of course, that seme people wHtli tmoles are ravishingly lovely to look 'at. and some are tie ugly as they cXS be. .^att, a poet and artist of ^he court of IIenry VIH. says of Anne Boleyn, "Likewise there were said to be upon certain parts of her body small moles, Incident to the clearest complexions."

According to Fitzstepten's "History of England," it was customary for young men in the TwelTB) century to fasten the leg bones of animals under their feet by means of thongs and slide on the ice, pushing themselves along by means of an iron shod pole. Specimens of the primitive skates have been found from time to time in the marshy fields hear London. " Just who invented skating is not known. Holland, with its extensive water surfaces, Is sometimes looked upon as the birthplace of the sport But the Twelfth-century bone imple- 'tnents are said to indicate that there were some followers of the sport In England before the Dutch spread It abroad in the Thirteenth century. In Twelfth-century England the skaters on bone are said to have jousted at each other as in a tournameaL A Review of RerieWe Measuring backward by the breadth of one or more centuries, 1928 was notable for the number of its memorial observances. ^ Men of letters seem to have claimed most of such attention during the past.'12 months, while music, art, philosophy, statecraft and exploration each have been singly represented in the list. By means of general observance, or fty more or less restricted attention, the people have been brought to recall the achievements of John Bunyan, Ibsen, Jules Verne, Tolstoy, George Meredith, Edmund Burke, Wil1 liam Tyntiale, Captain Cook, Francisco Goya, Dante, Gabriel Rossetti, Franc Schubert an£ Oliver Goldsmith. Fever Carried by Goats ,Malta fever, or, more technically, nndulant fever, epidemic along the Mediterranean <jnasts, particularly on the Island of Ma/ta, is carried by goats. It is common in the United States, principally in Texas, where goats are raised. Recently Dr. Edward Francis contracted the disease. He also was a victim of "rabbit fever" (tularemia), named after Tulare county; Calif., where, in 1910, it was first identified. Doctor Francis isolated the germ of the latter, and t^ie ailment is known among the medical profession' as Francis disease.

Tongue Twisters Ever Bob Up to H&rrass Us We all had sad experiences during the war disentanj^Uig word forms and their pronunciation, as we strove to keep track of events in the Near East, instance Lwow, Pryepolye and Prisecnice, which were by no means the worst. And now from another direction our eyes and ears are newly assailed, namely, from out Honolulu way, where an Interisland transport company has had its vessels baptized and christened with names that ought to wear raffia skirts, so perfectly do they harmonize with "uke" music. The eastern European words sufr fered from too many scrambled consonants, those of Hawaii from a superfluity of oleglnous vowels. When you make your next trip to the former Sandwich islands y^u may have the option of traveling on board the Hualalai, the Himuula, the Haieakula aud the YValeleele. We will hack that last name for the vowel championship. Seven letters oat of jiine are of the softer sex. =--r~- Butterfly Has Heart That Beats Backward The butterfly, immemorially the symbol of inconstancy, has a heart that often beats backward, Prof. H. Gerould of Dartmouth college told the American Society of Zoologists. He has dissected numbers of these insects, and has demonstrated this strange behavior many times. The heart of an insect is in its back instead of its chest, and consists merely of an enlargement in a long blood vessel, much like the bulb in the middle of a rubber syringe tube. A beat will start at its rear end and travel forward, squeezing the blood ahead of it. After repeating this several times, the heart will pause, and then a beat will start at the forward end, sending the blood in the opposite direction. Occasionally the beat will start in the middle, sending the blood both ways. It .seems to make BO difference to the butterfly. Shysters Hung Around Courts 3,500 Years Shysters hung around the courts of 3,500 years Ago and made promises to "fix" cases for trembling clients Just as it is alleged they do today.

Birds flying across deposit dandelion and buttercup seeds; and soon almost what might be termed meadows come into being on the top of the glaciers during the brief northern summer.
