Barren, leafless twigs, dried shrubs and the tough, pnperllke substances of the dome palm form the chief courses In the menu prepared by nature for this denizen of the desert. The marvelous arrangement for the retaining of a sup? ply of water sufficient to last for many days makes the camel's powers of en? durance phenomenal. The ordluary freight camel is expected to carry a load of from 500 to 1,000 pounds across the desert at the rate of twenty-five miles a day and to keep lt up for three days without a fresh supply of water. Some will cover fifty miles a day for five days without water, and the swifter species will carry their riders 100 miles a dny.-London Spare Moments. The Humming Bird's Flight. The flight of the little humming bird is more remarkable than that of the eagle. We can understand the flapping of the eagle's immense wing support? ing a comparatively light body. But our little bird has a plump body. His wings are not wide, but long, so he must move them rapidly to sustain his weight, and this he can do to perfec? tion. The vibrations of his wings are so rapid as to make them almost in? visible. He can use them to sustain himself in midair, with his body as motionless as if perched on a twig. In this way he can sip the nectar of the delicate, fine stemmed flowers without alighting for a moment. He never alights while so engaged. He moves from flower to flower with a graceful and rapid movement, some? times chasing away a bee or hum? ming bird moth, of which he ls very jealous.

BLUE GRASS HIGH SCHOOL. This institution is located in the western part of Highland county in that section of the Blue Grass District known as Crabbottom. Just why this beautiful and pic? turesque, the most beautiful and picturesque indeed, section of the county should have been called by the euphoneous name of Crabbot? tom the writer is not informed. But so it is. The school building is a wooden structure, designed by Charles M. Robinson, architect, of Richmond and contains in addition to four large recitation rooms and an as? sembly hall, two smaller rooms, in? tended to be occupied by an in? strumental and business depart? ments respectively. From which it will be seen that the promoters of the school planned broadly, look? ing to the establishment of a school of high grade when the young peo? ple of the district might be prepar? ed to enter the higher institutions of learning or for the active duties of life. The house was built by Mr. Brown Nicholas, a well-known local architect and builder, and is one of the most attractive struc? tures designed for school purposes in this part of the State, the walls are plastered and the inside work is finished in the most elegant style. The building was erected at a cost of $4,000, one-half of which was contributed by the citizens of the community. The ground?, con? sisting of two and a half acres, cost $800 additional. The first meeting of the patrons and others interested in the move? ment, looking to the establishment of a high school in this section, was held about the middle of Decem? ber, 1907, in Central Church, Crab bottom, and was addressed by State Examiner J. O. Thomas, O. P. Chew, Dr. J. L. Sheppe and ethers. At this meeting Examiner Thomas explained the operation of the plan of school consolidation, the advantages accruing from the inauguration of such a system, and advised th?t the proposed high school building be constructed with a view to the consolidation of as many of the OOllfciguouo cnfl.rnrm schools as possible, the pupils to be conveyed to and from the schools in public conveyances at public ex? pense. At the close of the meeting Superintendent Jared L. Jones ap ponited a committee to solicit pub? lic subscription to a building fund of not less than $2,000, a like sum to be appropriated by the district, making a total fund of $4000. The committee, consisting of Messrs. G. Lee Chew, R. D. Folks, E. Wimar, M. K. Simmons and Dr. J. L. Sheppe, met in Dr. Sheppe's office, December 28, 1907, preparatory to entering upon the work assigned it. The people responded liberally and soon the required amount was in sight. The foundation was laid the lat? ter part of July, 1908, and the building completed March 20,1909. The high school department was organized October, 1908, and plac in charge of Professor J.I. Burton, of Jardesville, Md., occupying rent? ed quarters at first, but moving in? to the new building, February, 1909, a room having been finished for the purpose. Prof. Burton is a graduate of St. John's College, An? napolis, and proyed himself a young man of excellent qualities and a teacher of splendid promise. His work was very generally satis? factory both to patrons and school officials. The present session began Octo? ber 4, 1909, with Prof. H. Lynch, of Winchester, as principal, and Misses Nannie Sterrett and Mollie Mauzy as assistants, and an enroll? ment of some ninety pupils. In concluding this sketch it is but just to say that the public is indebted to Mr. G. Lee Chew, a veteran educator and progressive spirited citizen, for the splendid high school building shown above. He it was who first suggested the establishment of a public high achoo at this point, and it was mainly through his efforts that the enter? prise was launched.
