SOME TALES HARD TO DOWN

Particularly True of the Story of the Grizzly Bear That Climb* Uty-a-T ree. . .

The hunter who comes nome with a tale of how he took refuge from a grizzly in a tree, and how the bear climbed after him, is a nature fakir, pure and simple, as Enos A. Mills reminds hunters in the story of the “‘Adventures of a Nature Guide.” Yet this curious misapprehension of the climbing abilities of the greatest of the y Ursidae persists in many quarters and Is not always accounted for by mendacity. It seems to be a reasonable explanation that when a grizzly sets out in pursuit of a more or less inexperienced sportsman, the latter is not always in the attitude of a calm investigator. Things are not precisely what they seem when the normal positions of hunter and hunted are reversed.

It is the task of more than one generation to put end to nature faking. Colonel Roosevelt, if he were alive, would take delight in Indorsing the works of Mr. Mills, who has recently become famous as a national park guide, who revealed the delightful possibilities of guiding in the wilderness as a profesion for ambitious young men. 'The wilderness, Mr. Mills, is really the safest place in the world for defenseless human beings. Not even the catamount or puma is dangerous.' Colonel Roosevelt had already assured us on this point, but the statement will bear repetition.— Portland Oregonian.

SPIDER’S THREAD HAS VALUE

Practically Indispensable in the Construction of Telescopes for ths Astronomer. The threads of the garden spider are fixed by astronomers in their telescopes for the purpose of giving fine lines to the field of view, by which the relative positions of stars may be accurately measured. For a century astronomers desired to make use of such lines of the greatest possible fineness, and procured at first silver wire drawn out to the extreme limit of tenuity attainable with that metal. They also tried hairs (l-500th of an inch thick), and threads of the silkworm’s cocoon, which are split into two component threads, each only l-200th of an inch thick. But in 1820 an English Instrument-maker named Throughton Introduced the spider’s line. This can be readily obtained three or four times smaller than the silkworm’s thread, and has also advantages in its strength and freedom from twist. In order to obtain the thread the spider is carefully fixed on a miniature “rack,” and the thread, which at the moment of issue from the body is a viscid liquid. Is made to adhere to a winder, by turning which the desired length of firm but elastic thread can be procured.

Victory of Courage.

The • man or woman who ventures much may fall often, but he will achieve in proportion to those very failures because he will use each one as a stepping stone to higher effort? But the man or woman who quibbles, reconsiders, hesitates and weighs every gain against a greater loss is a predestined failure, because his very attitude should be avoided. Be who falls with his face forward in the battle is not a failure, but a hero. Failure Ues in turning the back on the foe, .to retreat before the enemy. When we speak of success we should not Blink in terms of money or position or fame, ’ but of moral courage, high endeavor, honorable achievement. And when these are translated, into active service the world will become that Utopia of which so much has been written andsang.—Milwaukee Sentinel

TAX MEASURE IS PUT OVER;

(Continued from Page I|.

first draft. Within ten- days after the act becomes effective the state tax board is required to certify to all the counties all the data connected with the horizontal increases ordered on Aug. 23, 1919. Thereupon county boards of review, specially constituted for this occasion, shall conduct a review and reassessment, and then certify the findings to the state board for an equalization by counties over the entire state. New levies for the remainder of the year shall be fixed on the basis of the new valuations, and in case the treasury of any unit is depleted before the fall installment of taxes is collected, the local authorities are empowered fto borrow money temporarily. The bill provides furthermore for a refund of the excess of taxes paid in the sprng installment, which were collected on the basis of the horizontal increases. The Senate Republican caucus adopted the Kiper bill by a vote of 21 to 6.

Attitude of House A Question. Republican senators are not certain just what attitude the House will take toward the Kiper bill, and they admit that if the lower branch is obdurate, they will probably have to make the best compromise that is possible in conference. While the majority members of the Senate are convinced that they have a better solution of the tax jumble* than the House proposed in the Tuthill bill, they say it may be necessary to concede such changes as liter House demands. But it is equally certain that no spirit of conciliation will guide the Senate in its conference with the House conferees have been' appointed on both sides, Representatives Rothrock, Mendenhall and Winesburg acting for the House and Senators Brown, Aldredge and Hogston for the Senate. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Governor Bush the Senate Republicans are said to be determined not to sacnfice any essential principle of, the home rule bill, nor will they acquiese either in a deadlock that will mean the death of the bill. Information among Senate leaders today was that Speaker Jesse E. Eschbach, who is firmly opposed to any such legislation as--that contained in the Johnson bill, will exert his influence to have the bill Killed in conference through the process of nonagreement between the conferees from the two branches.

McCray’* Friend* Ready To Fight’ In the Senate the determination is equally pronounced to get the bill out of conference in such such shape as will redeem the Republican State platform pledge and will fulfill the primary pledge of Warren T. McCray, Republican nominee for governor. Governor Goodrich, while recommending the home rule tax bill in his message to the special session,' is quoted now as emphatically opposed to any such legislation at this time, and Senate baekers of the bill fear that his influences will be added to that of Speaker Eschbach to kill the bill. With a conflict Apparently inevitable over the two tax measures, and the friends of Warren T. McCray in the Senate irrevocably committed to a home rule hill, the length of the session will be gauged ’altogether by the relative degrees of tenacity of the two houses on

these bills. Speaker Eschbach is said to have declared that he will remain for the constitutional limit of forty days before he will give his consent to the home rule bill, and Lieutenant Governor Bush has declared with equal positiveness that he wifl stay the limit, too, rather than surrender to the House. Unless, by some unexpected turn, the irreconcilable differences of the two branches are composed Satur- ; day it looks as if the session would i run well into next week. x And the ■ fight in reality will be a test of the staying qualities of the presiding officers of the two houses, backed by their respective groups of adherents. . The Republican platform recog- > nizes the existence of oil-wells in Mexico.—Nashville Tennessean.

BEYOND CHINA’S GREAT WALL

Mongolia, Desolate and Terrible Land, Has a Fascination for Traveler From the West. There is a magic about the Great Wall of China and the frontier towns in Its folds facing put upon Mongolia, that land of sandstorms and blizzards, desolate and terrible to the Chinese, and filled with their most inveterate enemies of old times, writes Elizabeth Coatsworth in Asia Magazine. Now the Mongolians have retreated further into the interior —always three days’ journey from civilization —and Kalgan no longer braces Itself against the waiting hordes beyond its walls. We passed/through the streets between low square buildings with paper windows often painted with gods and goddesses. Now and then we Were amused to see how a pirate tobacco advertisement showing a cut throat with long black mustaches, had usurped the god shelf of some shop and had fncense burned before Its unholy nose. Everywhere were gray dust and bleakness, but at each door was a cage with a lark in it. and at one dilapidated inn at least a hundred young birds were gathered about an old one to learn to singe

Around us. above the roofs, were the high, copper-colored mountains without-a tree upon them, but with the great wall looping and colling across the highest points and lonely watch towers outlined on every peak against a brilliant blue sky. The effect of the color combined with the long bare lines of the mountains was gorgeous beyond words. We passed beyond the Traitors’ gate and into—old Mongolia! The way opened out immediately into the pass, and near us a crowd had gathered about the body of a brigand executed the morning before. There was a remnant of stream, sharp bills on either side, and caravans of camels loaded with sheepskins were coming in from the ddsert. The beasts had been losing their hair in patches and many of them were wrapped in sacking to prevent their catching cold, adding to the somewhat ludicrous effect natural to a camel despite its stateliness. The Mongolians who led them on their quick scraggy ponies seemed little different in their appearance from the northern Chinese except for their heavy padded red coats and high, yellow peaked hats. And beyond lay the Great Wall like a living thing with the shining light on. Its side, seeking the most insurmountable heights, again and again disappearing from sight only to reqnpear farther and farther off along the horizon. There lay its all but sentient length with only here and there a break In the shell of smoothcut slabs of. stone, each of which weighed at least half a ton. Rome, too, once built a wall. But only ar-' cheohoglsts can find traces of that younger imperial frontier

Cents a Drink in* 1837. LoiS* after the last cellar has gone dry and the last drop of whiskey has been consumed there will remain a bottle of liquor that, according to tradition, is entombed in the cornerstone of the Universallst church at Montgomery, O. William Swaim, sev-enty-two, village historian and former schoolmaster of Montgomery, is authority for the tradition that a quart of liquor la concealed within the cornerstone of the church, which was bunt in 1837. “In those days Uquor was a respectable wAer,” says Swaim, i Preachers drank it just as other folk | did. It wate customary to .place liquor iin a cornerstone for the same reason that folks drank each other’s health in liquor.” Across the road from the church is a tavern that was a stopover for the farmers hauling their produce to the dty. Whiskey bold there for 8 cents a drink, Swaim re-calls-—Detroit Journal.
