HORSE BETRAYS

Leads Detectives to Home of
Accused Brothers.
Toronto.—An amateur detective once
won fame by finding a missing horse:
and, when asked what method he had
followed, replied: “I fizured out where
I would go if I were a horse: then
I went there, and there he was.”
Toronto detectives followed a some-
what similar course in tracing thieves
who attempted to break into a grain |
and feed warehouse here.
The burglars were frightened away,
leaving behind a horse and wagon, in
which they had planned to carry their
loot away. Suspicion fel] upon three
brothers, John, Arthur and William
Hopper. They denied that they had
ever owned such a horse or wagon
Study of Pterodactyls
of Value in Aviation
Further study of the structural de-
tails of the bodies nf the pterodactyls,
extinct flying reptiles, would bring to
light new secrets of flight resulting
in greater efficiency in modern air-
craft, is the belief of Prof. D. M.
Watson of the University of London.
In a recent lecture before the Royal
society, Professor Watson said that
these creatures were the largest fly-
ing animals that ever lived, some of
them attaining wing spreads of tnore
than 20 feet. It also said that re-
searches on the skeletal remains of a
number of varieties seemed to indi-
cate they were much better adapted
for flying than are the modern birds.
The wings of the pterodactyls con-
sisted of sheets of leathery skin of a
very tough texture quite similar to
the material of the wings of a bat.
The bones of these creatures were
hollow and spongy, with internal ribs
added throughout to give strength
and lightness at the same time. The
wings were not covered with feath-
ers as are the wings of the present-
day birds.
The bones along the back and
breast were equipped with enormous
projecting ridges to which strong
muscles were attached and which in-
dicate by their size and shape the
speed and agility possessed by these
early flyers.
Professor Watson thinks that care-
ful study of these bones, as well as
an intensive research into other fea-
tures of the skeletons found as fos-
sils, would help greatly in modern
airplane design. These ancient rep-

Use of Goggles Proves Boon
to Workers in Indus-
trial Plants.
New York.—More than 10,000 eyes
and at least $46,000,000 were saved
in two recent years among 583 plants,
employing a total of 500,000 workmen,
according to the report of a study en-
titled “Eyes Saved in Industry,” just
published by the National Society for
the Prevention of Blindness and the
National Safety council.
The two organizations set out to
discover the total of authenticated
cases of workmen's eyes saved from
serious injury or destruction through
use of goggles or head masks.
The survey analyzes the records
kept by the corporation during 1926
and 1927, disclosing that in addition
to the financial economy 2,757 men
and women were saved from serious
injury or total blindness in both eyes
during the two years. There were
4,654 recorded instances of workmen
being saved from a similar fate to
one eye, making a total of 10,168 eyes
saved from destruction or serious in-
Jury.
First Study of Its Kind.
“In this study, the first of its kind
ever made,” explained Lewis H. Car-
ris, managing director of the National
Society for the Prevention of Blind-
ness, “it was assumed that an object
which hit a goggle lens with such
force as to pierce or shatter the lens
would most certainly have so damaged
the eye, if the goggles had not been
worn, as to cause complete or nearly
complete loss of vision. It was as-
sumed, further, that every instance of
a goggle lens bespattered by molten
metal or by corrosive or otherwise
injurious chemicals represented an
eye saved.
“The eye hazards eof industry have
come to be one of the most serious
causes of blindness In America. There
is, in fact, considerable ground for
the belief that each year more per-
sons are permanently robbed of their
sight by occupational hazards than
by any other major cause of blind-
ness.
Huge Financial Loss.
“This is due largely to the fact that
innumerable persons, employers and
employees alike, still do not realize or
do not believe that it is possible to
prevent accidental eye injuries in the
particular occupations in which they
are engaged. It is due also to the
failure on the part of employers or
employees and communities at large to
appreciate the tremendous financial
loss resulting from the blinding of
men and women in industry.
“Despite the splendid accomplish-
ments of many individual firms in the
prevention of accidents in general, and
specifically in the prevention of eye
accidents, such accidents are still con-
sidered by many persons inherent or
unavoidable accompaniments of cer-
tain industrial processes. Despite the
tremendous financial savings through
accident prevention publicly and au-
thentically reported by some of the
leading industrial concerns of America,
there are still thousands of employers
who regard as an unavoidable (though
evil) necessity the payment of thou-
sands upon thousands of dollars for
destruction or injury of the eyes of
their employees.”

Mexican Indians, Primitive in Extreme,

Mexico City.—The Huichow and

see no reason why an authority far
away which has never done a thing
for them, such as the federal govern-
ment of Mexico, should now tell them
what to do, after sending its agents
in May to count them,
It seems that some of the census
takers discovered that all Indians
whom the circumstances favored had
more than one wife. Instead of over-
looking this, the officious persons re-
ported it and now the Huicholes and
Coras are in water that is likely to get
hot. :
Though among the most primitive
Indians ever found in Mexico, if not in
the western hemisphere, the Huicholes
and their kin tribe know that the week
has seven days. This they have
brought into some relation with mat-
rimony, in consequence of which it is
considered the proper thing to have
seven wives.

Horrified Pilot Fights
Rattler Mile in the Air
Scott City, Kan.—An unprecedented
battle in the air hetween a horrified
pilot and a rattlesnake was verified
when “Happy” Wiggins, aviator, ob

Wiggins said he was pounding his
plane through the clouds almost a
mile above the ground when the snake
reared its head over the cockpit.
“1 jumped back,” said Wiggins, still

“l tried to grasp it and pitch it
from the plane, but it coiled and
struck me twice before I finally was
able to fling it away.”
While Wiggins was engaged in his
battle with the rattler, which ap-
parently crawled into the plane while
it was at rest in a hangar, the ship
hurtled down, out of control.
Wiggins finally pushed the snake
overboard, righted the ship, and land-
ed so hastily in a pasture that he
almost wrecked the plane.
A rancher hurried out and
dragged Wiggins, almost uncon-
scious from fright and poison, from
his seat. The rancher hurried him
here, where hospita: attaches said
he would recover.
Canadian Girl Revived
After an Hour in Water
Winnipeg.—Floating face down, sev-

But members of the St. John's Am-

in the crowd that gathered. They
went to work. At that time they did
not know the little girl had been in
the water so long.
After two hours’ strenuous work,
life signs were displayed. Two hours
later the child was out of danger.
Then the mystery of the affair was
disclosed.
Charles Brown had stood on the
wharf for half an hour observing
what he thought was an old bathing
suit floating some distance out. He
was not interested. Then the waves
brought it nearer, and he thought
there was a semblance of a child's
body concealed.
Hastily he plunged in and brought
it to shore. The child had been miss-

While these and other birds of
