They live In them as we live In liotixes, and some live In the green part, some In the golden stripes and some In the red stripes. There was a great deal of lovely moss, and neither the flowers nor the nioHs seemed to mind the rushing wa-ters which ran so wildly past them and over them and about them. But the flowers which were talking to the rainbow fairies were back of the falls, on the rocks and In the tiny crevices. "People like to come down here, don't they?" asked the flowers. "We con understand how they want to see It all. "But oh, rainbow fairies, could we help but stay and see this glory? "Could we leave when all around us are such great and mighty dash-ing waters, and beautiful rainbows in which you live, all Joined together In great half circles and then bending down to kiss the sparkling water? ''Could we leuve all that, rainbow fulrles? You are here always, always, because here the mist and the sun-shine are chatting most of the time.

"Old Ironsides" Regains Youth Installed which with a sister keelson makes the ship's center-lin- e longitu-dinal strength 90 per cent greater. New futtocks fashioned of live oak from Florida, kept for 73 years under water, are placed between the frame ribs before the old are removed. All Is bolted together, with bar copper everywhere replacing Iron. Where the new cresote-drenche-d "ceiling" or In-ner planking approaches the berth desk the old craft's lines are as fair and pretty as those, of any maiden ship awaiting launching. From Delaware have come great curved white oak roots and from West Virginia long, straight white oak tim-bers. With modern methods of pres-ervation the rebuilt Constitution should have a longer life than It bad in prospect when first built. England has locked up Lord Nel-son's flagship Victory In a drydock. kBut even after repairs It will never sail the high seas again. "The Constitution," says Lieutenant Lord, "nearly as old and In a similar decayed condition, will be fully re-stored, permitting it to appear again on the high seas fully equipped and rigged stanch and seaworthy, in all Its glory." Will Once More Sail High Seat, Stanch and Sea worthy. Boston. Shedding the decay c 132 years, Old Ironsides Is growing young again. As the days pass In the drydock at the Boston navy yard the old fri-gate feels new ribs forming In Its massive frame, aew strength growing In its ancient bu'l. But renewing the youth of the Con-stitution is a herculean task. Lieut. John A. Lord, V. S. N., grizzled mas-ter builder of such pteel superdread-naught- s as the New York and the Ari-zona and designer and builder of wooden craft, too, Is surgeon in charge of the operation. Lieutenant Lord says the task in hand Is like no other ever undertaken in marine engineering. Seventy per cent of the ship must be replaced, in-cluding Its most vital parts. Original methods had to be devised, for It had reached a state of almost complete decay. Difficult Task. Lord has put two years of planning Into the work now being carried for-ward. All he had to begin with was a drydock. Wooden shipbuilding at the yard ended 60 years ago. An Im-provised shipyard had to be assembled, with shops, lumber, sawmills and plan-ing machine. From the wooden ship-yards of bis home state, Maine, he as-sembled a small but expert force of workers. These were augmented with navy yard workers, specially qualified. Some of the equipment Is quite an-cient as machinery goes. A futtock saw, brought in from Portsmouth, N. II., to saw out those crooked timbers which, scarfed together, make the ship's ribs, Is seventy years old. Where it lies In drydock now the dismantled hull of the famous fighting phlp Is almost lost behind a screen of scaffolding " and bracing. A cradle had to be thrust tightly about her bottom to hold her firmly together a new method. Within the ship, too, a small forest of braces and shoriug has sprung up between the four decks. As he clam-bered up and down ludders, through hatches and down Into the bottom-most part of the ship. Lieutenant Lord explained that all this was necessary. The danger of collapse has to be reck-oned with In every step of the work, as decayed supporting timbers are re-moved and replaced by sturdy oaken beams. In the bow the sides are held together by a mass of steel cables. Copper Replaces Iron. The work Is like reconstructing a worn-ou- t four-stor- y building In which the first floor must be torn out and repaired first. In the bottom a new keelson was Army to Try Out New Powerful Explosive Washington. The region of Fort Humphrey, Va.t will echo to the ex-plosions of radium atomlte, new ex-plosive claimed to be more powerful than TNT, some time In August Ac-cording to the office of the chief of engineers of the War department here, MnJ. William EI. Lanagan of the board of engineer equipment has re-quested such a demonstration. A preliminary test of the explosive Invented by Capt II. R. Zimmer of Los Angeles, former army officer, was made at Pasadena by Lieut Col. L. M. Adams of the California Institute of Technology. Lieutenant Colonel Adams reported to the chief of engineers, and the board, after examining his report, has decided that the new explosive "appears to have military value." ; ; Newo Notes ; !

DUCHESNE More than half the water of Utah flows into the Uintah basin, which expects to have more than half a million acres under cul-tivation. IIEBER CITY In 1927, the value of eggs, poultry and turkeys produced In Utah was 3,679,753. Of the egg production, 614 carloads went to out-side markets and 667, 924 pounds of turkeys were exported. OGDEN According1 to an appeal for help made recently to the Weber County Fish and Game Protective as-sociation of Promontory . Point, rab-bits have descended upon the crops in the locality and are doing damage that is estimated at thousands of dol-lars. PAROWAN On August 16, 17 and 18 the Southern Utah Rambouillet as-sociation will hold its seventh annual show and sale at Parowan. Over 300 head of blooded Rambouillet sheep will be exhibited at the show. These sheep will come mostly from Iron county, but it is expected that other flocks from other counties will be in-cluded. ROOSEVELT Roads between Salt Lake and the Uintah basin are in fairly good condition, according to reports prepared in the offices of the state road commission. In one or two places the road is reported as alow because of construction work under way, but no inconvenience ahould be suffered Jy any motorists pasing over these roads, highway of ficials declare. BRIGHAM CITY Peach Day wW have the enthusiastic support of all groups and organisations of the com-munity, if the widespread organiza-tion effected in the Chamber of com-merce is any indication. Representa-tives from civic, social and ecclesiast-ical units met to outline policies and -- ' perfect plans for the Peach festival to be held in the Boxelder county seat Friday and Saturday, September 14 and 15. BRIGHAM CITY City Attorney Lewis Jones announced recently that he had just been informed by the Utah-Idah- o Cement company that this firm had executed a five-yea- r lease on a tract of land near the cement plant at Brigham City to be used as an airport. The tract is about three-fourt- hs of a mile long and half mile wide. Brigham City will in turn lease the premises to the department of commerce, after leveling and placing the field in good shape. SALT LAKE Roads through Utah are in good condition generally, al-though there are some ruts and dust tn places, according to the weekly road report issued by the state road com-mission. The main routes across the state, however, are in good condition On the desert section of United States highway No. 40, west of Salt Lake, the road is dusty, but good time can be made, the report shows. It is in-dicated by the report that the high-ways are in practically the same con-dition as they usually are at this time of the year. SALT LAKE Crops and ranges in Utah are beginning to show the need of rain, according to the weekly crop report issued Wednesday by J. Cecil Alter, meteorologist in charge of the local government weather bureau. His report is as follows: "Cooler weather has been favorable but there was not enough rain and crops and ranges are showing the need of general showers. The weather has been fine, however, for ripening spring grain and for the harvest of grain and alfalfa. The higher ranges still afford plenty of feed, but lower ranges are not grow-ing. Sugar beets mostly are doing well, but would be improved by rain. ' GUNNISON Preston G. Peterson, a member of the state road commis-sion, has investigated the bad curve in the state highway at the Palisade park junction between Manti and Gun-nison and has reported that would soon be improved. He inquired as to roads needs n this part of the state. His attention was called to the fact that the state highway between Manti and Gunnison, which is a road of ma- - jor importance and carries a great deal of traffic, has never received more than passing1 consideration BURLEY A survey of damage done by the hailstorm that passed through a section of the Minidoka tract south of Burley recently shows much less destruction than was at first reported. The storm extended In a narrow swath for a distance of about three mijes. Around 320 acres of crops were pounded into the ground end apparently destroyed. Other crops were but little affected. The line between the hailed section and the part that escaped was sharply defined. Henpecked Men Live Longer, Man's View London. Dr. C, W. Klmmins, for-merly chief inspector of tin education department of the London county council, In an address to women at Leeds told of his "Investigations with a group of henpecked husbands." "I never knew such a group of happy, Joyous creatures in my life," he said, "and I was glad to learn afterward that henpecked husbands live much longer than those who are not henpecked, because they live much more sheltered lives." Humble Toad Classed as Friend of Farmer The lowly toad Is of great value to the farmer, according to the Depart-ment of Agriculture. The eating habits of toads give them an Impor-tant place in nature, says a statement by Remington Kellogg, of the bureau ft J of biological survey. Although they IV are Indiscriminate In their appetites, fS the obnoxious Insects eaten by the toads more than compensate for the harm done by preying on those that' are beneficial. Toads are great gourmands, and In the course of a season eat untold num-bers of Insects, many of which are highly destructive to plant life. Large numbers of crop pests are destroyed by the tonds. Meal time with toads often begins before sunset and con-tinues throughout the greater part of the night; hence the food contains mixture of diurnal and nocturnal organisms. In their night warfare on Insects the toads take the place of the ground-fe- Insectivorous birds afte these have censed their activ-ities for the day. Taught 57 Yeara Huntington, N. Y.

Hybrid Triumph What is regarded as an achieve-ment In plant breeding has Just been accomplished In the production of a cross between a cabbage and a radish, says the Popular Mechanics Maga-zine. The two are of remote rela-tionship, heace the hybrid Is con-sidered far more remarkable than those yielded by crossing varieties thnt more closely resemble each other. Monkey Sobbed A monkey incident that might make one suspect that perhaps Dar-win was right after all is told by Murtln Johnson, the famous camera explorer In tho Delineator. "Once," he writes, "while we were watching them on a clear afternoon near sunset we suddenly startled one of the old females who hud been prinking herself off to one side. With a scream of fear she dashed off fol-lowed by all the rest loudly complain-ing at the disturbance. One little fellow, too young to run fast, was left behind In the stampede. Hoping to catch him for a pet I ran after him. Jle glanced over his shoulder, squealing with terror, as he saw me overtaking him. Suddenly he decided it wns no use, he didn't have a chance to escape. He stopped, lay down on the rock and covered his eyes with his tiny hands. Trembling all over he lay there sobbing like a child and waited for the end. The little fellov; acted exactly as If he knew I were going to kill him, and couldn't bear to see my hand uplifted to strike. "I picked the poor little thing up. Ills heart was going like a I suppose be was surprised to find that he was not yet hurt, ne moved his hand a bit from one eye and peered at me. The sight of my face so close was too much. He pressed his hand quickly back and cried out In desperation. When I found I couldn't soothe him I care-fully set him down and jacked off. Again he peeked at me from behind one hand. He gave a sort of gasp as If he didn't believe his eyes. He Jerkeo both hands down. Yes, both eyes told him I was too far away to grab him. He moved first one foot, then another. Both worked all right. With a yell he turned and ran. At this moment a fuzzy fice peeked around one of the rocks about fifty feet ahead. When the baby reached this point a body followed the head, apparently the mother, for the little one 1 had released hopped aboard her back and rode hnpplly away to tell his playmates of frigHfuI nd'n ture with a gi:int."

Probably Will Be Taken Under the Protection of the Geneva Body. Geneva. Birds aud whales probably wjll'be taken under the protection of the League of Nations. As a matter of fact the league al-ready has had a commission of ex-perts at work for some time to see If an International convention cannot be launched relative to whales and other deep sea riches. As regards the protection of birds. It Is expected that the September as-sembly of the League of Nations will be asked to summon an Interna-tional conference for the purpose of launching a new International bird convention to replace the 1002 Paris convention on the subject. The. migratory, character buth of blrua and whales Is such ds to make ny regulation relative to them neces- - $ sarlly of an International nature and hence within the scope of the league, while their economic value to the world as a whole Is declared suffi-ciently great to Justify the league's attention. Both the convention on whales and the one on birds will have for their primary object the fixing of "open" seasons in such a manner as to re-lieve the world of any danger of the species becoming extinct. The Initiative, for placing the pro-tection of the migratory birds under the auspices of the league has been taken by the international committee en bird protection and various mem-bers of the league council have prom Ised to support the resolution before the assembly authorizJng the league to call an Internntlonal conference for next year. The necessity of protecting birds will be urged ese"'in'ly from the Bed Offered for Rent on Part Time Basis Budapest, Hungary. "Half a bed to let by decent family. Terms moderate. Inspection Invited.
