C, foi D X WARSAW: THE PARIS OF POLAND So other people, In all the world's history, has borne oppression so bravely and gior.onsly as the Poles, except the Jews; und Warsaw, where the "Russians had to keep a garrison of -00.000 troops to overawe a city of 900,000 people," Is to Poland what Paris Is to Prance. Indeed the vivacity, the gayety and the quick wit of Warsaw's people are a constant reminder of Paris; as well as those deeper likenesses which spring from Warsaw's ascendancy in the letters, the arts and the social graces. All this, too, in a city where the most gruesome tragedies have .stalked. As recently as the j-ears of our own Civil war the Russian army mowed down thousands of men and women as they knelt in the snow, singing their national anthem. Deportations are tin old story in Warsaw, every effort at nationalization was followed by slaughter, and hundreds marched the long trail to Siberian exile. Put Poland's spirit meanwhile, became a synonym for the Indomitable. The success of the Kusslfication of Toland has been described as the process of keeping 12.000.000 Poles pinned to Pussfa by bayonets. Politically nonexistent, for even Poland's name was expunged from all ollicial Russian records, the pre-war Warsaw vied with world capitals in science, particularly medicine, in manufacturing, In trade and in literature. Though Warsaw betrayed none of the grimness characteristic of Russian cities, reminders of her by-gon glories and tragedies were to b found even before the World war restored her nutocracy. In the Lazk-nki garden.? Is a monument to John Sobieski, who stemmed the advance of the Turks In Europe, a figure as picturesque as Paderewski who now sees his land a barrier to bolshevism's westward spread. It was in Us: that a Turkish force had thrown itself in crescent formation around Vienna. The encampment was no less threatening because It resembled a circus rather than a siege, with its herds of camels, and luxurious tents with baths and parrots within and fountains without. Mighty events often hinge on slender circumstances. Sobioski hesitated because Leopold. Austria's emperor, first declined to address 1dm as "Your Majesty." Hut Sobieski's hesitation Is said to have vanished when he learned that the Kreuch ambassador had written to Louis XIV., who rather hoped for the worst for Austria. "Don't trouble yourself, Sobleskl Is too fat to sit on a horse and fight." The "fat mnn" rode his charger Into the thick of the fight, helping hew his way to where the Turkish grand vizier stood, and after the battle handed one of that dignitary's stirrups to tin aide, with the command, "Take It to the queen and tell her that he to whom it belonged is defeated and slain." HOW ANTS CAN HINDER AIRPLANES a Ants have assumed a new role in Africa-- that of enemies of aviation. Reports from surveyors of the proposed air mute from Rhodesia to Capetown soy that ant hills have interfered si rioip.lv with the placing of aerodromes. To understand this phenomenon one must understand how ubiquitous Is the ant In South Africa, writes William Morton Wheeler to the National icographic society. He continues: "Ants are to be found everywhere, from the arctic regions to the tropics, froms timber Urn' on the loftiest mountains to the shifting sands of the dunes and seashores, and from the (hmpest forest, to the driest deserts. Not only do they outnumber In Individuals all other terrestrial animals, but their colonies even In very circumscribed localities often defy enumeration. "One subfamily of the ants, the Dorylinae, embracing the wonderful driver nnts of Africa and the legionary ants of the American tropics, are highly carnivorous but nevertheless suc ceed in forming Immense colonies, often of hundreds of thousands of Individuals. This they accomplish by relinquishing the sedentary habits so characteristic of the great majority of r.nts. They keep moving in long tiles through the jungles, capturing or killing all the Insects they encounter, and even overrunning dwellings, und. In their search for cockroaches and other vermin, driving out the human inhabitants. "From time to time these strange ants bivouac for the nigh: or for a few days In some hole In the ground, or under a tree, but soon continue their predatory march. Evidently they are able to remain carnivorous, and at the same time to develop large colon'es, only because they are nomadic and can thus draw their food supply from A large area. "Certain Individuals, the 'repletes'of the colony refrain from leaving the

nest and foraging for food and become converted into flagons by distending the crop to such enormous dimensions that Jhe abdomen looks like a transparent bead. In this condition they hang by their claws from the roof of the nest chamber and thenceforth spend all their lives receiving liquid food from the tongues of the foraging ants, storing It in their crops and regurgitating It to hungry Individuals when the liquid food supply outside tho nest becomes inadequate. "This Is, of course, apt to be the "nso periodically in dry regions, so that we find the true honey ants only in deserts like those of the southwestern states, northern Mexico. South Africa and central Australia."

TACNA AND ARICA: SIAMESE TWINS OF GEOGRAPHY Tacna and Arica' The words -are fast becoming as inseparable as the Gold Dust Twins, the Dolly Sisters, or Mutt and Jeff. The regions form a territorial bone of contention among Chile, Peru and Rolivia. The province of Tacna, composed of the department of Tacna and Arica, Is shown on maps made ift Chile as the northernmost province of that country, and on maps made In Peru as the southernmost province of Peru, bordered on the north by the HIo Sama and on the east by Bolivia. Its broad uplands are rich In nitrate, r.nd on the Bay of Arica, at the terminus of one railroad leading to La Paz and the interior of Bolivia, and of another running to ports to the south, the-delightful city of Arica fs situated, giving the possessor of the territory u great advantage in South American affairs from both political and commercial standpoints. Here is ample reason why these two South American republics want It, and why Bolivia hopes that, in the adjustment, she will have an outlet to the sea accorded her. The trouble over this region arose originally from the fact that, in the days of the early Spanish settlers, the country was so vast that a few hundred square miles more or less made no difference in the affairs of the colony, and when the colonies organized themselves into republics they still were too busy with their internal problems to both'er about where their boundaries began and where they ended. This condition was true not only of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, but of most of the other South American republics, as indicated by the numerous boundary questions which have been in dispute during the last decade. So matters drifted until the middle of the nineteenth century, when guano and nitrate were discovered in this formerly ignored region. The guano alone was then hastily estimated as worth J0.000,(HX, not to mention the nitrate. What friends could be expected to remain friendly with such a mountain of dollars between them? Since that time the Peru-Chile-Bolivia story has been one of controversies, treaties, counter-charges and plebiscites never taken. THE MAIL MAN: COURIER OF CIVILIZATION Did it ever occur to you that your city letter carrier, your village postmaster or your rural route carrier 1ms a past? He is the agent by which the long arm of Uncle Sam taps your shoulder one, two, maybe three times a day, yet he is so unobtrusive that you probably do not know him half so well as most other agents of your government, the school teacher or the policeman, for example. But he not only Is an essential, but a historic figure. The history of the postal service and Its employees extends to the days of the Romans when the earliest known means of transmitting a message was by ctfirler. These admirable organizers, the Romans, marked by a 'iost" the place In tho road where the relay of one runner by another wn.s effected: thus they named our system long before t was born. The first letter post seems to have existed In the Hanse towns In the thirteenth century In order to facilitate relations Niweon the merchants of tin various members of the Hansea tic League. t The British post office had Its beginning In the sixteenth century, and our own colonial methods of handling mall were Inherited from our British forefathers. Long before the people had any means of exchanging either personal or official letters, the king had established a system of conveying his personal messages and official docu ments by royal messengers. In the reign of King John that petulant monarch paid out a large sum for a postal service and charged it to the household and wardrobe accounts. Messengers who were thus entrusted with matters of state bad to be above suspicion. They went the whole instance and were paid according to the length and danger of their Journeys. In lU'W New England proposed to the British sovereign that a postoffice system bv? established in the colonies, as It was "so useful and absolutely necessary." His majesty paid no attention to the plea, but Richard Fairbanks, in the same year, set up an office In Boston to receive letters from ships. He undertook to deliver the letters received and charged a penny for each letter. He also received mall for out-going ships, but no one was forced to send mall through his otllce. A thrilling story of the devotion of mail men to their duties Is that of the pony express, the first rapid transit mall line across the 1.SKM miles of prairie, desert, snow-capped 'mountain

eaks, and alkali wastes between the Missouri river and the Pacific coast. It whs inaugurated early In 1SC0 In rder that the, West might be kept more closely In touch with the North in view of the trouble brewing from the slavery question, and. though It had an existence of only sixteen months, it made the East and West only ten days apart at a time of crisis. The date of starting was to be March 20, 1SG0. and Forts Kearney, Laramie, Bridger, Great Salt Lake City, Camp Floyd, Carson City, the Washoe Silver mines, Plaeerville and Sacramento were to be the points of delivery of mail. In St. Joseph. Mo eager and excited crowds gathered in the streets to see the first courier, the wiry, twenty-year-old Johnnie Frey, as he dashed away on his jet black steed for the first lap of the race of flesh, blood and determination against the desolate spaces of an unpeopled country. These, riders were clad in buckskin shirts ordinary trousers, high boots and soft slouch hats, and were armed with sheath knives. Colt's revolvers and Spencer carbines. The best time they made across the trackless waste was in carrying President Lincoln's inaugural speech to San Franciscoseven days and seventeen hours.

ADRIANOPLE: A WEATHER VANE OF EMPIRES Entry of Greek troops Into Adrianople is an event in secular history fairly comparable to the investiture of Jerusalem by Allenby's army, for this Turkish city has for nearly 'J.000 years been a weathervane of world politics. The rebuilding of the ancient Thracian town of Hadrian, who gave it his name, signalized a high point in the power of the Roman empire. The decline of Rome was foreshadowed some two centuries later when tho Goths defeated Valens there and made their first break through the Roman frontier. Next Adrianople was the setting for the Turk's advent into Europe. There Murad I. established himself, planned the capture of Constantinople, and sent out expeditions to subdue various Christian peoples. For a time the European capital of the sultans, Adrianople was relegated to be the chief bulwark of Constantinople. There Turk first met Slav, and there the Russians finally forced their way to the Black sea by a treaty which also loosened the Turkish hold on the Caucasus and compelled recognition of the independence of Greece. Adrianople is on the Maritza Ilebrus of Grecian legend, where Orpheus was dismembered by the Thracian women ; also celebrated, under its filter name, in Bulgarian song and story. It is 137 miles by rail northwest of Constantinople. Today the city wears Us past glory with a sort of shabby gentility, with no pretension of prosperity but le.ss squalor than the usual Turkish city. It possesses the grave of the first Murad, or Amurath, who was assassinated in his tent after lit? had vanquished an army of Christian allies on the field of Kossovo. A mosque bearing the name of Sultan Baleid recalls that monarch, whose first official act was to order the execution of his brother, who was first Ottoman ruler to call himself sultan and whose conquests finally were checked when he was taken prisoner by Tamerlane. But the architectural masterpiece of Adrianople Is tho Sellmleh, product of a Greek tribute-boy's genius, and relic of the reign of Sellin II, the Louis XV of Turkey. Yearly the Turks would seize a certain number of sons of their Christian subjects, ami In Slnan they found they had acquired a skilled bridge builder. They allowed him to follow his bent, and the Shahzadeh at Constantinople, the Suleiman at Stamboul and the third famed mosque at Adrianople were given to posterity. Tho Sellml-h stands upon tho highest hill In Adrianople and four lofty minarets tower far above :t massive dome. STEEL AFFECTED BY FIRE Figures Gathered by the United States Bureau of Standards Reveal Stability of Structure. Some Interesting figures relating to the behavior of structural steel nt the high temperature of ordinary firetf have been given by the United States bureau of standards. ' Naturally, the strength of steel at high temperatures has a very Important bearing upon the stability of a structure which may be subjected to fire. Without any protective covering, steel columns fall after only 10 or 15 minutes of exposure to temperatures such as are reached In ordinary fires Resistance can be greatly Increased by the use of coverings of brick, concrete, plaster, tile, etc., to such an extent that columns' so protected are unaffected after several hours' exposure to Intense heat, says the New York Evening Post. ' Tests have been made to determine the compression strength of specimens of structural steel when heated In an electric furnace to temperature corresponding to dull red heat (1.100 degrees Fahrenheit) and loaded up to J0.O00 pounds per square Inch. It was found that structural steel loaded to 10.000 pounds per square Inch falls at about 1.075 degrees Fahrenheit, and under a load of 20.000 pounds per square Inch failure occurs at 1)25 degrees Fahrenheit. For practical considerations, however, the limit of utility may be regarded as reached at temperatures of about l.'M) degrees Fahrenheit below those given above
