,0AD- royalfs lucky day' , Had Reason to Bo Thankful Th-t His Pifl Developed Quality of Enterprise. I ? p,,,. of the most important appllca ,?f geological science Is the point ,?ut <>f places' likely to yield stores of mineral wealth. And yet, where ?*concerned, the really grent ^jroveries In this country have been r'ado I'.v I>,ire ,uck It was Old Man Royale's pig that local** 1. according to tlie story, tlie riol'i?'>? copper mine in the world?the fsmos:-: Calumet lode. I '01,1 M.iii Itoyale was not Interested )r! mining; lie kept a hoarding house. But his l"'S was ?,fted with the valu able quality of enterprise. Grubbing In tin1 I'f'k yard, It "snooted up" a prehistoric Indian cache. jIk? radio contained a large quan t;;v of copper. a fortune In Itself. But (snmication of the rock beneath dis closed veins of the metal, and mining operations thereupon undertaken de veloped I lie Calumet lode, which has since I'tiiil $11.~,000.000 In dividends and ?.mOOO.WO in wages. ' - "Native" copper was used to a con glderable extent by the Indians In pre Columbian days, for ornamental pur poses chiefly. Ancient aboriginal skel etons have been dug up wearing cop ier masUs. In Michigan they got cop per out of rocks by building fires against them; and huge nuggets of -mass" copper weighing hundreds of pounds have been found In the Lake Superior region which showed signs of unsuccessful attack. The Indians jmd no tools with which to cut up such {treat lumps, and they could not carry them away bodily. Copper is the American metal par prollence. and of all the metals Is Ik- mo<t useful to mankind. Iron alona excepted. Plan to Irrigate Egypt. F r many years projects have been under consideration for obtaining such a complete control of the waters of the upper Nile ns will enable Egypt to develop Its agricultural resources to the utmost and to secure the coun try against the dangers of excessive Hoods, while permitting the Sudan also to develop to some extent Its own vast resources. The works contemplated will extend over a generation and Involve the ex penditure of tcus of millions of dol lar.-, sniveling the entire future of Irri gation throughout the Nile basin. The commission, It Is reported, will consist of three members: An irrigation engineer nominated by the government of India as president and a British pyhslelst "nominated by the University of Cambridge, while to draw <iii the wide experience available in America on questions of irrigation and water supply, nnd still further to strengthen the independence of the commission, nn irrigation engineer nominated by the government of the United States will constitute the third lllHIlhiM'. . ....

The man who nets tHi wholesale seems about to be out classed l>y the airplane operator who zatiiors in wild birds by means of a net. So, apparently, tlvink the sports men in one locality of Canada. As a consequence, an association of them nre sponsoring a request to the gov ernment to prohibit the flights of air planes over marsh lands, and the use of flylnp machines In pursuit, shoot ing, or nettlug of wild "fowl' When warned of anything approaching these birds do not seek cover, but rise Immediately Into the air and obviously become open at once to the ingenious contrivances of airplanlsts. Rapid-fir ing k'ius, and nettings attached be neath the body of the machines, would seem to be an easy means of 'possible extermination of the birds, and this it is sought to nvold.

From the first days of (lie war Marshal Foch always carried a dap per stick with him. There is an In teresting story connected with the cane that the head of the allied armies regarded so necessary. "It was carved for him In the early days of the war by one of his beloved pollus of the trenches," says the Home Sector, the ex-soldiers' weekly, "since which time, If reports are trae, It has nver left his side. It has made itself useful as well as ornamental on occasions, and there Is a legend that It was used to map out the great strokes and counter-strokes of the sumfner and fall of 1018 by which the war was ended." Getting Acquainted. While traveling recently I beguiled the hotfrs by trying to win the confi dence of n winning but shy child. My efforts were In vain, so I took refuge In my book. Soon after a soft little hand crept Into mine slowly, and a tiny voice said: "I atn use-ter to you than I used to be."?Chicago Trib une. Probably Fir?t Moving Pictures. America Is not the original home of the moving picture. This assumption is disproved by an apparatus of an cient Siamese civilization recently re discovered. The apparatus consists of a number of ancient movie machines unearthed at the National museum In New York, where they had been hid den away In boxes since their pre sentation to this country by the king of Slam in 187G. The cinematic art as practiced hun dreds of yeArs ago in Slam was car ried on as follows: The proper num ber of figures, designed from leather by hand, were mounted on rods and projected on the screen by the hand of the operator. The screen was a white cloth hung between the audience aud the light. The shndows were manip ulated by the operator's pushing, the manikins along In a trough. As action advanced through climax and anti-climax, the operntor recited In a singsong voice five-reel dramas of the love and wrongs of the king* and queens represented.
