Curling Rink for mallet-ton For the past several months plans for the building of a curling rink has been occupying the minds of curling enthusiasts, and the fruits of their labors are now being shown. On Monday a meeting of all those interested in curling was held in the Munshaw House and the formation of a curling rink Company was proceed- overseas; but really we cannot re- member the Government sending over nursing bottles and nipples, and we are village selling saatch or pencil pods at 25¢. each, worth about 10c. and claimed to be returned soldiers.

Only within the last four or five years, he says, has the motion-picture indus- try discovered the fact. that lightning, however much it may twist and mean- der in its path across the sky, never turns sharp angles. Zig-zag lightning was formerly the rule rather than the exception on the screen, just as it was once universal in the drawings and paintings of great artists. but it is un- known in nature. He goes on: joined up when the club was formed with G. B. Welton as President. All playing was done on the side sheet of ice in the skating rink, but it was not satisfactory, as only one sheet of ice was available. The price for erecting the building has been secured but the building con- trac't has not yet been closed. It is expected that construction will be com- menced at once, so that the curling fans will have an ice surface in plenty of time .â€"F'lesherton Advance. LIGHTNING SINUOUS; Some plantsâ€"like peopleâ€"love to go travelling and to see the world and they manage their Journey very clever- ly. In Russia, for example, there is a plant called the “Wind Wltch”.. When it is grown up the branches of its stalk curl down and pull up the plant by its root. Then itwalta for a strong wind to- oomeandcarrylt ofltoanewspot, where it takes root again and “sets up house” in fresh surroundings. “The first person to call attention to the mistake of the artists in this matter was the Scottish engineer James Nas- myth. who was the son of a landscape painter. “Some decades after these remarks were uttered the photography of light- ning began to be common, and the photographs all showed that he was right in believing that lightning is never truly zigzag. Its path generally includes many sinuous curves, and it often branches, but a sharp angle is very rarely seen in a photograph, and it is then doubtless an eflect of per- cmfiim ” ”At a meeting of the British Associa- tion for the. Advancement of Science in 1856, he stated that 'in no instance among the many thunderstorms whose progress he had most attentively watched had he ever observed such fer is of lightning as that usually re- presented in works of art; in all such the artists invariably adopt a conven- tional form, namely, that of a zigzag combination of straight lines.’ Nasmyth believed the error of the artists origin- ated in the form given to the thunder- bolt in the hand of Zeus as sculptured by the ancient Greeks. Plans have been secured for a rink 163 by 30 feet, approximately the same as the Markdale rink. There will be a recreation room 30 by 17, and an ice surface 143 by 30, which allows for two games to be played at the same time. Several sites have been investigated and it has finally been narrowed down to a situation in Memorial Park, im- mediately in the rear of F. G. Kar- stedt’s store. The financing of the prOposition has just about been com- pleted with over $2,000 subscribed and only about $300 still to be secured. The curling game was received with enthusiasm when it was installed here last winter, when about 20 members ed with. Mr. J. O. Dargavel was elect- ed President, George McTavish, treas- urer, and a committee composed of Messrs. W. Akitt, G. Brackenbury, J. McMillan and C. N. Richardson was appointed.

Furthermore it does not strike Mrs. Andrews as odd that a woman should choose such an occupatidn. In the first place, she says, there is much money to be made in reptiles, and in the secâ€" ond place, she is deeply interested in herpetology, which you may or may not know is the branch of zoology deal- ing with snakes. Danger? Mrs. Andrews insists there is no more danger in the jungle than in a big city. After the islands are bought they probably will be burned off so that foes of reptiles can be eliminated. One then will be used as a breeding place for pythons and boas, another for lizards, a third for laboratories and food-raising grounds and a possible fourth for lesser reptiles.

To begin with, there is a vast market among shoe manufacturers for ;reptile skins be- cause of their long-wearing qualities. Secondly, museums seek reptiles for scientific study.

It is widely believed that rattlesnakes, burrowing owls and prairie dogs live together in peace and harmony. Such is not the case, according to the best informed naturalists. This belief arose burrowing owls are often found in the dens of prairie dogs. The relationship, however. is not so peaceful as many suppose. In fact both the rattlers and the owls are fond of small mammals as an article of diet and they visit the prairie dog dens primarily to catch and eat young dogs. The frequently remain in the holes with the young prairie dogs, after which the snakes prowl while their meal is being digested. It is common to see rattlesnakes sunning themselves at the entrances of prairie dog burrows. The prairie owls not only feed upon young prairie dogs but also use deserted burrows for building their nests and rearing their young. beer so goodly a golden crop as was ex- pected.
