On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnisn proof of anything depicted by’him.

Following is Qie explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not,” w’hich appeared in Saturday’s Times: In Roulette the Red Won Twenty-Seven Times in Succession—ln January, 1910, there was a run of twenty-seven consecutive reds at the Rouge et Noire table of the Casino at Monte Carlo. The odds against twenty-seven consecutive returns of one color are as 68,801,864 to 1. When the twentieth consecutive showing of red was recorded, the heaviest and most inveterate gamblers of Monte Carlo began to back black, and as they continued losing they were more than ever convinced that the next return would be black. At the end of the day, the Casino was 750,000 francs richer as a result of this record consecutive run. The Raining Tree of Rhodesia —During the driest months of the Rhodesian year—August, September and October—this tree exudes moisture in large drops from its top-most leaves, and to the observer anywhere in the vicinity of the tree it gives the impression of a shower of rain falling. The natives of Rhodesia call the tree “Mukololo,” and when they see it dripping they say “The Mukololo is weeping for rain.” Mjr drawing was made from an original photograph, taken during a blazing hot day, when the tree was “weeping” copiously. Observations of the unique activities of this tree were made by G. Knowles Jordan, at the time he was assistant native commissioner, located at Majoy Tank, Northwestern Rhodesia.

GRAIN MARKET MOVES LOWER IN DULL TRADE J Weakness in Corn Futures Is Main Factor in Oats Price. By United Press CHICAGO. Jan. was dull as the Eoard of Trade opened! today with the gain at Liverpool holding the market fairly Bteady. Wheat was steady with the exception of May old ’.chile corn was fractionally lower. Oats with the exception of May old. which was off % cent, were fairly steady. The weakness in com had a discouraging effect on oats. Liverpool Strong At the opening, wheat was unchanged to % cent lower with May new off 3 s and July up %. Corn was unchanged to cent lower and oats were steady with May old off 4. Provisions were quiet and about steady. Liverpool closed steadier at 4 to 4 cent higher, owing to decrease in stocks. Buenos Aires was 4 cent lower at noon. The wheat market still lacks incentive action either way, the low prices holding no appeal to side interests. Old crop futures remain at the pegged price and there is a rumor that the government will withdraw its support. The steadiness at Liverpool caused the small fractional advance on the Board of Trade at the opening. More attention is being paid to drought conditions in the United States. Com Affects Oats Corn opened fractionally lower. The increased use of corn feed substitutes is held responsible for the weakening in yellow’ as well as the chilled, indifferent attitude of speculators. Trading volume in oats was small, and although the price was fairly steady, the weakness in corn held a deterrent effect on oats prices. Chicago Grain Table —Jsn. 26 Wheat— Prcv. High.
