Columbus’ Debt to Wife
[f it be true that there is a woman
in the background in every notable
achievenient, there seems to be jus-
tification in calling Dona elipa, the
wife of Christopher Columbus. that in-
fluence in the life of the man who
was later to discover the western
world.
name, John was a well-to-do planter,
and was prominent in the colony as
a burgess and councillor. His wealth
enabled him to send his son to Eng-
i land for a part of his schooling.
When his father died. Robert in-
anerited a large estate, and, being a
man of great energy, marked business
acumen and dominant personality, he
steadily increased his patrimony.
He began his public career as a
burgess from Lancaster in 1691, Sub- |
sequently he was chosen treasurer of
the colony, speaker of the house of
burgesses and member of the council,
in which last named body he served
27 years. He was tinally elected pres-
ident of the council and was acting
| governor for more than a year, from
When Columbus talked to her about !
nis exploration enthusiasms, she was
sympathetic and his ambitions appear ;
to have found grateful nurture at their
fireside. There is a tale of how Dona
Isabella, Columbus’ mother-in-law, pro-
duced an old box containing maps and
logs—piously kept relics of her hus-
band’s.
found in this box prompted in Colum-
bus the conception, later to become a
flaming article of faith, of a land be- |
yond the horizon.—Kansas City Times. |
Prophetic Plant
A plant which is said to be able to
predict earthquakes and volcanic erup- |
tions bears the scientific name of
Abrus precatorius. It is a native of
Cuba, has no flowers, and consists of
a long stalk from which branch nu-
merous twigs containing rows of deli-
cate-looking leaves. The leaves fre-
quently change color or close, while
the twigs bend themselves into curi-
ous positions.
This plant is highly sensitive to
electric and magnetic influences, and
by being able to interpret the move-
ments of the plant in response to elec-
tric currents the scientist is enabled
to predict great convulsions of nature.
Flowers and Coins
Plenty of money has always gone
into floral exhibitions, and this is lit-
erally true in England, where a florist
has succeeded in getting delicate tints
with the aid of silver coins. He drops
silver coins in water in which the flow-
ers are standing. Silver hydroxide is
formed and the action of the chemical
changes the natural color of the blos-
soms, giving them shadings not pos-
sible under natural conditions. After
the coloring has proceeded to a satisfac-
tory degree, the coins are removed and
a few crumbs of slaked lime or mortar
are added to fix the tint,
Nurich’s Great Idea
“Now let's see about this portrait
you're to make of my wife,” said Nu-
rich. ‘Water colors rub out easily,
don’t they?”
“Qh, yes,” said D’Auber; “it must
be in oil—"
“Wait a minute. Just make the
head and neck in oil and the dress in
water color. Then it'll be easy to
bring it up to date every time the style
changes.”
—Subscribe for the Watchman,
It may be that something
the death of Governor Drysdale until
the arrival of Governor Gooch.
Colonel Carter's estate grew to such
enormous proportions that Governor
Nicholson on one occasion dubbed him
king, and the name stuck. His pres-
tige was that of a feudal lord, and
he became the most powerful land-
holder in his section of the Old Do-
minion.—Baltimore Sun.
Vegetarian Dogs
Arjun Lalshet, a rich Hindu, Is try-
mg to develop a breed of nonmeat-eat-
ing dogs. He belongs to a sect of
Hindus who do not believe in killing.
The gaekwar of Baroda has given Lal-
shet permission to establish a “dog
city” within his dominions. Lalshet
' believes that he can wean dogs from
their instinct of killing and eating
meat. All dogs within the district
are now being fed on wheat, rice, milk
and butter—a strict vegetarian diet.
Special care has been taken to stop
up all rat and mouse holes in order
to remove all strong temptations
from the dogs.—Pathfinder Magazine.
The Simple Life in India
In India they have 50 different re-
ligions and every religion has its own
meat. The Mohammedan will not eat
pork, the Hindu will not eat beef, the
Narpalies will eat neither beef or
pork, but eat fish and chicken in-
stead. They take a plece of cloth
five yards long, and that is the limit
of their clothes. The cloth is wound
around the lower part of the body, and
some who have a few rupees wear a
shirt. They live in bamboo huts. They
split bamboo and lace it crosswise,
and sometimes they put a coat of mud
over the outside. The roof is made
of banana leaves and is a foot thick.
Gold-Plated Pagoda
The native of Burma is rated much
i nigher than that of India in the matter
of intelligence and the country is much
pleasanter and more picturesque.
There are many beautiful castles sur-
rounded by gorgeous flower gardens
and imposing pagodas. The largest
pagoda in all Burma, known as the
Swaddigondge, is located at Rangoon
and is gold-plated from top to bottom,
with a flag of diamonds and rubies at
the top. It is sald to have cost $5,-
000,000 and is a beautiful temple,
where gill Burmese can go to worship.
It covers between’ 10 and 15 acres at
the bottom.

U.S. GAME LAWS
ARE EXPLAINED
"Incle Sam Compiles Bulle
tin of State Regulations.
Wasiip.ton, D. C.—With the open
neg of the hunting season hunters in
nll parts of the United States are keen
to obtain copies of the government bul
ietin epitomizing the game laws for
1024-25. Officials say that this docu-
ment bids fair to have the largest cir
«ulation of any single government pub-
lication, They also say that it cen:
tains as much information as could
be crowded into its 38 pages. for it in-
cludes a summary of the United
States laws and regulations, the stat
utes of all the individual states and
the laws of Canada, Newfoundland and
Mexico.
No hunter should be without a copy,
according to George A. Lawyer, chief |
United States game warden, because
it will not only contribute toward the
hunter's own protection but will us
sist materially in the enforcement of
the game laws, a thing in which ev- |
ery true sportsman is interested.
Widespread knowledge of the law is
held to be warth far more than a mvi- |
titude of game wardens.
It is estimated that there are about
6,000.000 nimrods in this country. Last
year approximately 4,500,000 state li-
censes to hunt were issued and in ad-
dition there are said to be at least a
third that number of hunters who are
not required to take out licenses he-
cause they confine their hunting to
their own lands.
Mo Federal License Required.
No federal license is required at
present, but if a bill now pending In
the lower house of congress is passed,
as officials predict, all hunters of mi-
gratory birds will have to obtain per-
mits from the government, for which
they will be taxed the sum of $1. The
funds created by this fee will be de-
voted, one-half to the administration
and enforcement of the federal game
statutes and one-half to the purchase
and development of water and marsh
areas as feeding grounds for migra-
tory fowl
The lawful killing of migratory birds |
began August 16, when the season
open for black-bellied and golden
plover and yellow legs in the states
bordering on the Atlantic and lying |
north of Chesapeake bay, and for reed |
birds or rice birds in the states of
Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida. No federal sea-
son lasts more than three and a half
months and all open seasons for mi-
gratory birds close on or before Jan-
uary 31.
One of the most important provisions
of the federal law is that which pro-
hibits hunting between sunset and half
an hour before sunrise. Hunting from
an airplane, from a power or sail boat,

or from anything towed hy a power wm
sail boat is forbidden, and no gun that
is larger than No. 10 gauge may be
used.
No state law can conflict or inter-
fere with the federal statute govern-
ing the hunting of migratory birds.
The sale of game Is prohibited, ev-
erywhere by both federal and state
i laws, The government has 70 bird
and big game reservations on which
there is no hunting, with certain minor
and unimportant exceptions, and hunt-
ing in the national parks is absolute-
ly forbidden.
What Hunters Must Know.
i
| The essential information which a
hunter must have includes the dates
when seasons open and their length,
the hours during which birds may be
by which game may be taken.
Of the utmost interest to outdoor
enthusiasts and others who for yeurs
have urged the enactment of appro-
priate legislation to check the ever-in-
creasing menace to wild life by oil
and other forms of pollution which
have contaminated our coastal and in-
land waters; destroyed aquatic life
therein, and seriously endangered the
public health, is the oil pollution bill
which became a law on June 7 last.
This act prohibits any vessel using
ofl as fuel for the generation of pro-
pulsion power or any vessel carrying
of that necessary for lubricating pur-
poses from discharging oil, oil sludge
or oil refuse into the coastal navi-
gable waters, including all inland nav-
fgable waters In which the tide ebbs
and flows.
Another new law of interest to
hunters, which also became effective
June 7, is that which authorizes the
! acquisition and setting aside as wild
life refuge of ahout 300,000 acres of
swamp and low lands along the Mis-
sissippi river between Rock Island, Ili,
and Wabasha, Minn.
Public sentiment with respect to the
observance of the laws protecting wild
fowl has changed appreciably within
the last few years, officials say. Hunt-
{ ers have learned that instead of in-
terfering with their inalienable rights
these laws are in reality safeguarding
the sport in which they are interested,
and they now see that they have bet-
ter hunting than they could possibly
have were there no restrictions
i
killed, the bag limits and the means
ofl or having oil thereon in excess.
