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

Following Is tHI explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” which apepared in Wednesday’s Times: The Holy Roller—The Holy Roller is another astounding example of the Oriental fanaticism which our western mind is unable to comprehend. The topography of the country traversed by the Saddnu (from Lhassa, Tibet to Berares, India) in “barrel” fashion is so incredible, and the privations which he voluntarily imposed upon himself must have been so stupendous, that the mind reels in contemplating it. The “rolling” as a rule, is performed for motives of religious mortification. The story is contained in Koerber’s “Buddhist Mythology of Tibet,” Vol. 1, preface. Mensen Ernst Ran From Paris to Moscow—Mensen Ernst, Norwegian cross-country runner, ran from Paris to Moscow in two weeks, averaging 125 miles a day, in spite of poor roads, inclement weather, and the handicap of thirteen rivers to swim. He probably was the greatest long-distance foot racer of all time. The records set up by this tireless Scandinavian during the early part of the nineteenth century never have been equaled. See: “The Life of Mensen Ernst,” published by Reick, Norway.

STRONG CABLES SEND FUTURES MARKETHIGHER Deferred Deliveries Mov' Up on Scattered Buying. BY HAROLD E. RAIN VILLE United Prret Staff Ccr^TroonC#**) CHICAGO, March 12.—Wheat was buoyed up by firm foreign cables as the Board of Trade opened today. Deferred deliveries gained a good fraction at the start on scattered buying Inspired by a small rise In world prices. Liverpool was firm on the forecast for small Argentine shipments. Com responded to the rise in wheat and scored a small gain at the start. There was little pressure and the market was easily Influenced. Oats had the lightest trade but acknowledged the strength in other grains by a small upward movement. At the opening old wheat was unchanged to % cent higher, new wheat was % to % cent up, corn gained to U cent and oats advanced V*. cent. Provisions were slow and steady. Liverpool was steady most of the session, advancing % to % cent by mid-afternoon, about what was expected. Buenos Aires was irregular and % cent lower shortly before noon. The fact that wheat has been supported on any decline in the past week or ten days increases the feeling that it is slated for higher levels. The firmness is based mainly on the foreign news, although no exports of consequence have been put through. No sharp sustained advance is looked for owing to the heavy stocks of wheat in aU exporting countries. One of the chief deterrents to a bull movement in com is the feeiIng that there might be a break in wheat. Many leading operators have changed their attitude toward the latter grain recently which haa Improved the condition of corn. The real neeed is a good cash demand. Commission houses have been on both sides of oats The only news of interest has been the damage to the new crop in Oklahoma by the recent low temperatures.
