- Demorralic October 10, 1930. Pa., “Bellefonte, Elephants Capable of Speed When Infuriated Cooper's “Lions 'N Tigers 'N Evéry- thing,” mentions that “the speed wf ‘an elephant is a deceptive thing, and it is a good horse that can keep abreast of him, once he unlimbers into full steam ahead.” Jennison’s “Nat- ural History of Animals,” states that “the usual gait is a walk, but when frightened they break into an amble by which they can cover 10 miles an hour for a long period.” An article by F. C. Selous in “The Living Ani- mals of the World,” says as follows: “That great authority, Mr. Sanderson, says that the only pace of the Indian elephant is the walk, capable of be- ing increased to a fast shuffle of about 15 miles an hour for very short distances. This description exactly coincides with my own experience of the African elephant, except that I think that animals of the latter spe- cies, especially cows and young bulls, are capable of getting up a pace of at least 20 miles an hour and keeping it up for from 100 to 200 yards when charging.” These statements would indicate that a charging elephant can outrun all but the fastest of human runners. Aim of Pioneers Was Destruction of Forest Our forefathers thought not so much atone DEATH ENDS HIKING PACT OF TWO MEN Partnership for a $25,000 Prize Is Dissolved. Antofagasta, Chile—A hiking part- nership of two Englishmen which had been sustained for two years in a gallant attempt to win a $25,000 prize by walking from Buenos Aires to New York was tragically dissolved when one of them was run down on the rail- voad near this lonely nitrate port. The dead man is Albert MacLewin. ! He died in the General hospital and was buried in the tiny Protestant cem- etery on the Andean slopes above the port, his companion, James Winyard, and members of the Anglo-Americar colony carrying the casket. Started August 21, 1928. Winyard, though grief stricken by . the loss of his mate, declared that he would see the adventure through by himself, disregarding the representa- | tions of his consul and local residents. The two men commenced their walk- | ing tour on August 21, 1928, following | the Argentine railway toward Bolivia, but the climate was much against them. Winyard fell ill with fever and MacLewin was bitten by a snake, They were pitied by friendly Indians, who cauterized MacLewin’s wound. Both returned to Buenos Aires, a thou- | sand miles away, and were in hospita!' three months. Undaunted, they trekked off again ' after recovery, this time following the of the utilization as of the destrue- tion of the forests. get rid of them. For two centuries little progress was made in this strug- gle with the all-encompassing forest. They wanted to | The total forest volume was almost as great a hundred years ago as it was when the Cavaliers of Virginia and the Puritans of Massachusetts were first awed by the dark and mysterious woods which, so far as they knew, stretched continuously to the Pacific, | thousands of miles to the west. The only extensive cleared areas were on the Atlantic seaboard. The old-time water-power driven sawmill had made but little headway against the incred- ible vastness of the forests and their sturdy and tenacious ability to repro : duce themselves. The forests of Maine, ! prized two centuries ago as the source of huge masts and spars for the king’s | navy, have now their fourth crop of | saw timber. Needle 25,000 Years Old A perfect bone needle, some 25,000 years old, is in the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago. needle, length, is complete and has as perfect an eye as if it had been made yes- terday. It was made by a prehistoric Magdalenian craftsman, according to Henry Field, assistant curator of phys- ical anthropology, and it was un- .doubtedly used for making clothes out of reindeer skins. : The needle was excavated from an: o.oo jettuce, in the opinion of ancient rock shelter at Ganties in the -south of France.

Garden of Straw Hats In almost every other part of the world where straw hats are made, the process of bleaching is accomplished by the use of chemicals, but in Luton. ‘England, which boasts of a great straw ‘hat industry, the hats are bleached by exposure to the sun's rays. A large open space attached to the factory is filled with regularly planted sticks, and upon each of these a straw hat in the process of making is placed for a spe cified time, during which the whitening operation takes place in a natural man. | “mer. The bleaching department with its rows of hats has the appearance of a garden filled with great white "blooms. A Poet at 8 Oliver Goldsmith. before he was eight years old, had contracted the habit of scribbling verse on small seraps of paper. which, in a little | while, he would throw into the fire. A few of these verses, however, were | rescued from the flames and taken to | his mother. She read them with a | mother’s delight. and saw at once that | her son was a genius and a poet. From that time she beset her hushand with solicitations to give the boy an education suitable to his talents. Egyptian Mummification fgypt owed its scientific advance pefore other nations to the Nile. Its dead could not be buried in the loose alluvial soil disturbed every year by | the floods. Tombs were hollowed out of the hills, until their whole surfaces were honeycombed by them. To tide their dead over the weeks of the high water, their bodies were carefully em. balmed and this grew to be a custom antil not only people, but even fa- vorite animals (especially cats) were converted into mummies. No Loss When Mary Louise visited in the country her aunt gave her a live rooster to bring home. Several weeks later her aunt visited Mary Louise's mother. “Did you eat the rooster 1 gave you?’ her aunt asked. “No; he ran away,” said Mary Louise. “But he was so old and tough . we never would have eaten him, any- way.” railway to Chile. A diary found on the dead man bears the stamps of sta- tion masters, prefects, school teachers, and farmers passed on the lonely route and tells tersely of weeks of rain and | scorching hegt. Four hundred and eleven days were | spent on the international rail route. | Thirty were spent in traversing an | equal number of miles at the moun- tain crest. In the two mile tunnel below the statue of Christ which marks the boundary between Chile and Argentina they struggled on with flickering candles. Adventures Bared. “A narrow shave,” alludes the diary to the fortunate passing of the de luxe transcontinental pullman train when the men were resting in a safety cut ting. It tells of another adventure which befell them when nearing the vineyard city of Mendoza. A stranger attacked them violently. In self-defense they were forced to use the sole gun they carried. Just then a police patrol rode up to the dismay of the tramps. For- tuitously it turned out that their as- sailant was an escaped lunatic. After resting a week in central Chile MacLewin and Winyard turned New ‘Yorkwards once again and smilingly trudged off along the railroad that led into the nitrate wilderness that was te prove the graveyard of one of them. Lettuce Called Aid to Beauty of U. S. Women Paris.—American women owe their Mlle. Paulette Bernege, a dietician who has just completed a three months’ tour of the United States. “Vitamins are their chief concern,” ! Mile. Bernege said. “They drink a good deal more orange and tomato juice than gin, contrary to the popu- lar French conception, and they dis tinctly are not ‘dollar grabbers. “As a matter of fact, they are sur- prisingly loyal and industrious, and their independence of the male is one of the striking things about their great country.” But Mlle. Bernege thinks American ! women are undernourished. It is her contention that a happy medium somewhere between the typical | French and the typical American diet would be very nearly ideal. “Starvation may prove temporarily helpful,” she said. “But in the long run it will shorten life, rather than lengthen it.” Vienna Police Must Keep Up Weight to Hold Jobs | Vienna.—By the Austrian Court of Appeals the right of the police to pen- gion off any member of the force whose weight drops below 115 pounds has been upheld. A verdict to this effect was givew when Johann Kleinedler, age thirty- three, appealed against dismissal from the force because the semiannual health examination of all policemen revealed that he was under this weight. Firemen Rescue Kid on “See the City” Trip Canon City, Colo.—It took the fire department to find six-year-old Wilbur ward. Wilbur decided to “see the city,” and spent the day doing so. When he failed to return home in the evening his mother notified the fire department and he was found within 30 minutes. Girl Invalid Faints; Is Strangled in Bed Los Angeles.—When she suf- fered a fainting spell in her home Louise Dahlquist, thirteen, strangled to death. Her head fell between the bed post and the bed springs, causing death by strangulation. She had been ill for some time and subject to fainting spells. e 9 9 9. 0 9.0 0 9 9 0 0 0 9 0 9 0 9 ITT TT seed BLT TT lS eT hh ees 9 9.9 0. 9 9 9 9.9.9 0. 0 8 0 0 0 0 0 2tecteotortock BETTI IIT TA ST Sees With Japanese History | An old Dutch gun was recently (o- | | Ancient Cannon Linked | cated in the Kanzaki shrine, Saga, by Prof. Chozo Muto of the Higher Com- | mercial college of Nagasaki, who i8 . an authority on the history of the i early Christian eclvilization. It has for a long time remained unknown to the public, but when Professor Muto visited the shrine and saw the gun, the marks it bears were declared by him to be those of the United East India company. The gun has also a letter H on it, and Professor Muto believes Netherlands, where there was a branch office of the trading company. History records that on the out- break of the riots in Shimabara and Amakusa by the Christians in 1637 against the Tokugawa government rule, the government ordered the gov- ernor to mobilize 100,000 troops to bring to an end the civil disturbance. The governor succeeded in defeating the rebels the following year with the assistance of Dutch men-of-war, which were then anchored off Nagarzki. Professor Muto connects this histori- cal fact with the gun that has stood unobserved in the grounds of Kanzaki shrine. — Osaka Mainichi, Japan. Cinema Traced to Idea Although it is not possible to say that any one person definitely in- vented the cinematograph, writes the Paris correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph, a large share of One of his pupils, Prof. Charles Yichet, in recalling his outstanding i achievements, described him as “the immortal creator of the cinemato- eraph.” AM. Marey made important contribu- tions to physiology, as a student of the circulation of the blood, to medi- cine, to flying and to the cinema. Pos- sibly it was his interest in the move- ments of animals, and particularly the flicht of birds, which led him te concentrate his attention on the mak= ing of “moving” pictures. In 1882 he. made a photographic “gun” which he was able to take sixty pie- tures a second of birds in flight. 1893 he had produced serviceable first true cinematograph recording and projecting machines. Growth of Brain According to various authorities quoted in Halls’ “Adolescence,” the after eight vears. It reaches its maxi- mum size at about 12 to 14, though there may be a very slight growth he- tween 20 and 30. In old age it grad- nally loses weight and size. “In ‘the boy of 15, the volume of cell bodies is already on the average 124 times their size at birth and by 30 will have increased to 150-fold. Cells constitute but a very small part of the total brain, so that they can increase many size or weight.” Organized Beggary While begging in Japan is not the fine art and honorable calling that it is in some parts of China, nevertheless | in Tokyo and other large cities there are hundreds who make their living by soliciting alms in public. Competi- tion incident to a highly commercial- ized age has made it necessary for these mendicants to organize, and a { beggars’ guild now forces beggars’ law. The operations of these persons are limited to three _ hours each day and they have a Communistic way of sharing their pickings. Ebb The San Diego divorce court sud- denly came to life.
