Barrio at the Front.
Sir J. M. Barrie visited the front "Only one glimpse of the real Barrie appeared. It was when one of my colleagues asked him to write something in the visitors' book. He thought gloomily for a moment; and then wrote, 'Beware of a dark woman with a big appetite. The meaning of this has keptus guessing ever since." Libraries.
The growth of public libraries in Czechoslovakia, is notable even in a land which has been noted for its exceedingly small percentage of illiterates. Of 7,800 communities in Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia, 6,000 were provided with public libraries at the beginning of 1922. The City of Prague has voted a budget of 1,921,348 Kc. for extene sion of the libraries although the Jiw requires then to vote no more than 500,000 Ke, for that purpose. Weather-Wire Birds.

Rooks and gulls signify the coming of bad weather by re maining near their homes, but crows are even more uncannily accurate in prophesying a storm. If rain is imminent they will rise from their nests, wheel about for a minute or two, and then fly back. If the storm is likely to be severe, these birds will indulge in a loud clamour and fly restlessly to and

(New York). We read: As the range of tide on as large a body of water as Lake Superior is only about 1 inches (at its western end), it will be seen that for all practical purposes tide on lesserin- larid waters becomes negligible. The greatest tide-producing force is exerted on lakes under the equa- tor, where the moon, three hours up, produces high water at its cas- tem and low water at its westem end, with a rise that bears a definite ratio to the length of the lake. In the latitude of the Great Lakes the tide-producing force is much lessened. Here the high-water point moves from the eastern end to the western end along the south- ern shore. The centre of a lake is an area of no tide. This is seen by the oscillation of water is, a tank when high water is produced alternately at each end; the line, of the, transverse axis shows no rise or fall." The Danger of Jesting.

The lead-in wire was shaken sufficiently to cause the unwelcome radio fans to seek some other resting-place for the night, and conditions in the operati ing room returned to normal. The experience is believed to be new in the history of radio broadcasting. by Engineers explain that the antenna was increased by the size of the birds' bodies, thus increasing the wave-length and causing a greater current to flow. They deny, how- ever, that the bird were attracted to the antenna .or a feast of mythical wire worms' or that they are in market for a radio acarecrow. Inventors are said to be intrigued by the possibilities of the casS.”
