Wide Religious Revival When All Hope Had Gone Mysterious Liglit Appeared and Guided Men to Night Camp of Res cuing Party.Fanner folk of Chippewa county, Michigan, are In un uproar over the remarkable "miracle" rescue story told by D. K. Brown, for throe generations a local fanner and noted as one of the most devout men In Michigan. Brown recently beta me lost In the wilderness mar his home and asserts he was rescued after the manner of the children of Israel of Biblical times, by a (Jod-sent light which appeared In answer to his prayer after darkness had settled and he had given up hope of ever Rettins ut of the forest alive. The story Is Indorsed by his wife who Is hlso noted for her religion faith and who led the searching parties. OtluT member f the posse also tell of seeing the "light." Such credence Is given the story by farmer folk that they have held a religious revival to which farmers and their families within a radius of, 1." miles came. Lost in s Dense Swamp. According to Mrs. Brown's story, It was a Sunday morning and they were bringing the cows home by driving them In front of a buggy. An automobile horn frightened the animals Into the bush. Brown got out and started to round them up. He did not reappear and the jmsM' was fathered by the pastor's son. who went to church, held a short prayer and then brought the men to the scene. The party searched all day Sunday and at night heavy thunder showers eame up and they had to quit until the next morning. It stormed throughout the night. Here Brown takes up the narrative from the time he hoamo lost. "Nicht came, and I found I was In a thick swamp amidst sprii'-e and elder trees. Then It began to rain. I fell in spring hobs over my knees and I got faint and tired. It kept raining. "I gave up all ho;o of help and then I remembered the Thirty-third Psalm. 'This poor man cried ami the Lord heard him and saved him our of nil his troubles.' I caught a sapling to hold myself ereet in the ley rain, ami cried out my prayer. I had hardly Unified when I iuh tbed an opening in the deue underbrush. This opening ;:pioarco to ojmmi the way toward a light. It was not tire, but appeared to be more like the northern lights. "Then I noticed a white object which appeared like a sea gull's wing. There was no head, body or tuP attached to thse whigs, but the light seemed to radiat from thK FolJo'vs the Light to n scu-rs. "This object seemed to moe and slowly rose from the ground and circled. "Tor n long lime I followed more than a mile I should say and then came to a thick brush. The light passed oer and into tMs and the thick brush, soaking we!, began to bum. I stood hohle It wanning and drying my . If. I looked again and the w'nged tire I had been following had disappeared, but I was sure that bd had led me to a spoi where I would Im found. "Just then o voice at my elbow said: 'Why, Broun, what are you J doing out here ; t this time of night? It was II. t. 11 1 vt wh spo!p. I went around the fire and there tinder a tent were six men who had veniurea Into tLs forest la search of me,"

EGYPT OF TODAY

IS LITTLE KNOWN World at Large More Famil.ar With Civilization of the Days of the Pharaohs. FEOPLE ARE MUCH THE SAME! Peasant of Today Might Have Stepped From Ancient Carving Now Has First King Since the Ptolemaic Regime. Washington, . C. King Fuad succeeds Cleopatra. "When tireat Britain abandoned Its protectorate over Kgypt, and the Sultan of the Nile country changed his title to king, he became the first king of Kgypt since the Ftolemulc regime," says a bulletin Issued from the Wush.ngtoo, 1. ('., headquarters of the .Vatlonal (ieographic society. "Thu old Kgypt of millenniums ago Is in many ways more familiar to the world at large than the Kgypt of today," continues the bulletin. "Pictures of its great pyramids and sphinxes. Its columned temples and rock-hewn tombs till hlstojrjes and encyclopedias; and inevitably the reader's attention is centered, not on the problems of today, but rather on the evidences of a dead civilization. "Hut aside from the fact that mummy hunting was for many years one of the leading private Industries of the country; and that now convicts. Instead of building; roads, excavate tombs und temples for the government, the old monuments are merely a background for a life hard enough to center local thoughts mostly on dally bread-winning. Superficially Kgpt seems a large country. The eye sees ittt color spread over a considerable part of the northeastern quarter of the map of Africa, and statistics credit It with an area of more than .'töo.oon square miles. Hut ihe real Kgypt the habitable part is like a cord with a frayed end: the narrow valley and llaring defta of the Nile. Kxeept a few scattered oases, most of the rest of the nominal Kgypt Is parched desert sand, gravel and rocky hills. Of its more than a third f a million square miles of territory, about 1J.X0 are estimated to ho capable of cultivation, and considerable part of this has not yet been tilled. Peasant Like Figure From Carvings. "In comparing the Kgypt of today with that of the dawn of history one Is divided between wonder at the marked -changes on the surface and the lack of change In some fundamentals. The Kgypt ian of today does not speak his old tongue, but instead. Arable; his old jods are forgotten, nid he has with the exception of i nail minority adopted the religion ..f Mohammed. Hut In spite of numer ous Invasions, the blood of the great ! majority of the population has been altered hardly at all. Practically the fellaheen, or peasants, might hnve stepped from the ancient carvings: they are but a fresh generali;: of the nu n who dragged the great blocks of stoip. into place to h",ihl the artificial mountains of the Pharaohs. J "Kgjpt s resources arc almost wholly agricultural, and in the ..g.-icultural scheme the millions of tVWaocen are Ihe ultimate units. Tiiey ur .oug hours scratching the soil wth crude Implements, or tediously raising wate in skin buckets attached to pivotvd poles that the thin stream ma save their plants from parco.ng. Taxes are heavy, and it is the lowly fella been who keep the treasury supplicu. "There is little cause to maivl al ; Kgypt s chot kered history. A simple reason Is that she began early. Hen is one of the earliest plates in which man lived an ordered life and left records of his activities. "After the long reign of the Phar aohs Kgypt had its Urecian ani! Koman regimes which brought bat lew changes. Then In tIJl A. I. came the invasion of the Saracens, from whicl time began Kgypt's Mohammedan history. For a time the country was a proince of the Arabian Caliphs; later it was independent, though still Mohammedan, under the Mamelukes; and finally. In 1311. it became a province of Turkey, which controlled it first through a governor and later through a sort of hereditary viceroy or khedive. Khedive-Sultan-King. "For the third time Kurope took a hand in the affairs of Kgypt in 17!S when Napoleon won his battle of the ! Pyramids. The Hritish drove the French out in lsn and turned the country back to Turkey. In lS'v came the building of the Sue canal by De I.esseps,. which has given Kurope an ever-growing Interest in Kgxptian af fairs. To protect Kuropean bond holders France and tireat Hritalr made a Joint intervention in 1S7J an fu a while controlled finances. The uprising of IhSJ against the khedivt was suppressed by the Hritish alone and after that they controlled finance: without assistance. The government wi; in effect Kgyptian with P.ritish as sjstance and with the noi.i.r. il suzei alnty of Turkey acknowledged. "When the World war b g.m fire Britain etablisi.ed a putectora:abolished Turkey's Mireraintv. dep.iM the Uermanophile khedive. and poinv.I another pr.n e of the family t be si.ltan.

WEST AREA

IN THE WORLD Geographers So Proclaim Gold Coast of Africa. 0!L IS ITS LATEST WEALTH Golden Age of Gold Coast Was in Days of Flourishing Slave Trade, and the Oil Fields Promise Again to Outbuy Entire Product of Qold Grains Winnowed From Sands of Many Rivers of Region Primitive Soviet System Exists Among Natives of the Coast London reports of oil pools und gushers in the Gold Coast colony of West Africa sustain the opinion of many geographers that this Is the richest area in the world for its size, uceordlng to a bulletin from the Washington (I). C.) headquarters of the National (ieographic society. "(Vlumbus Is believed to have done Boni' of his apprentice exploring; along the Hold ('oast shores before he set sail for America, and many an emancipated slave of our southland could find his family tree among the 'natives of this Hritish colony. The golden age of the Hold Coast, commercially considered, was in the days of flourishing slave trade, und the oil fields promise again to outbuy the entire product of gold grains winnowed from the sands of the many rivers of this region. A Forest Fairyland. "When you read that threee-fourths of the colony is covered with thick forests you get 'u very inadequate Idea of what you would see could you look upon the amazing; fastnesses of Hombax trees, piercing the skyline at 100 feet, with columnar trunks, free from branches below the top quarterlength. The trees you know best are like icebergs hi that their bases, or root systems, are under the surface. These foreign giants remind you of your children's Christmas tree, buttressed by what look to be huge triangular supioris. Should you dig beneath one of these buttresses you would find tiny tendrils, such as those which might nourish a sapling. In the spaces between these buttresses natives sometimes pitch primitive tent. "The Impression of a forest of telephone poles is further conveyed by great cables sagging from tree to tree. These 'creepers' are popularly known as monkey-rope, appropriately enough, since many varieties of monkeys are to be found' In these forests., "With the exception of the horizontal network of 'monkcy-rope' these thickets are vertical forests as truly as New York has been called a 'Vertical City.' They furnish a mute example of inanimate objects valoroiisly striving for their places in the sunlight. "Finally, so fertile is the equatorial soil, that nature Is far from satisfied with the plant life which clutters the soil and craiifs its foliage aloft to get a sio;k of sunshine, hut nourishment Is afforded a second crop of parasitic plants, such as tlie orchids which grow from the branches of the liombax trees. "The (Jold Coast colony stretches along some 270 miles of a harborless coast, and extends back for about half that distance to the border of Asbanti. A Primitive System. "Of the estimated iopulutlon of a million, fewer than J,(X)0 are Europeans. The most noted of the native peoples are the Fanti, whose women of light brown .skin are pretty. Their favorite perfume is distilled from the excrement of snakes. Shark flesh, sun dried, is a favorite edible. Among them, as among many primitive fighting peoples, mothers are held In hU'h esteem. Property is inherited by the oldest son of the oldest sister. Land is heb in a communal fashion, the possession of a gold 'stool' being the badge of a chiefs authority to the lands over which he holds sway. Areas are assigned to families, but they revert to the community upon tho holder's death. "Tnrs. plmits, animals, snakes and Insects are found in amazing variety. Here, as In many other venk.nt tropical regions, flowers are not nearly so abundant. The animate curiosity of the (bld Coast is the driver-ant, which also constitutes Its worst pest. The driver-ants constitute the landing army of the Insect world. i I I "A 'crack regiment" of driver-ants, solemnly says the Oxford survev of the Knglish empire, marches in close formation, perhaps 12 abreast. for:.i log a line soiee t inches wide, the soldiers being distributed alo;iy ihe flanks and at regular interval imongsi the workers, u.i much the j ;ame plan us that laid down for a :r;tisb column in thick country. The 1 oice travels at the double, und gen- s .rally at i.i'ht. taking as straight a I ihe as (Ntssible and selecting all avail- ; iMe coer. an advance party having j : I ready prepared the way. These lneets. construct tunnels in exjMised ' pots, perhaps 'M feet In length, with i height and breadth which may be is much one Inch, and provided with ah shaft s. Kvery animal makes Any for them, for they will atla'ck leythlng in their path, even fire, their system of communication enabling them to send reinforccLaeuts to any threatened point.

AURIGA LEADS

IN AIR TRAFFIC Ahead of France and Most Other j European Countries in Com mercial Aviation. DEVELOP PRACTICAL FLYING United States on Top In Mileage and' Carried 1,279,000 More Pounds in 1921 Than Did France Forced Stop Mastered. Washington. The United States is leading France and most other European countries in the practice of commercial aviation, it Is shown in reIorts to the Commerce department throughout America. More than 1,713,000 miles were Gown In the United States in 1021 by air mall ph .ies, which rank as commercial planes. Mall carried totaled l.lM.rOO pounds. The record for France, Just received by the Commerce department. Is as follows: Miles Mown, slightly more than 1,200,000; mail carried. 21,Oiio pounds. , In mileage the American planes lead France by nearly 23 per cent. In the mall record American planes carried 33 times as much weight. It is customary for aviation enthusiasts to berate the development of commercial aviation; In the United States in comparison with the use of planes for business and pleasure purposes in France, Kngland, Germany nnd other places in Europe, Make Dally Trips. Airplanes are running regularly between Paris, London and other Continental point?, it is emphasized, making trips daily on schedule like railroad trains. Much is made of.the fact that large numbers of passengers are transported as well as baggage. Flying from London to Paris for lunch and an afternoon in, the shops is said to be an everyday occurrence In Kurope. Wide publicity is given to the numerous air trlp3 taken by Premier Lloyd (leorge and other government ofllclalH. American flying men, calling attention to these reports, lament that the flying machine, although invented and vejopod in this country, is not being ut?cioicMi ior praeiieai purposes. The development of practical flying Is taking place In the United States at a greater rate than elsewhere. The carrying of mall .Is distinctly a commercial practice and one for which the airplane is more properly fitted at present than for the carrying of passengers. Airplanes carry mall now every day from the Atlantic to the raeifle coast at less cost tlian mall can be transported on the railroads, but in Kurope the commercial airplane companies have been unabje to compete with the railroads to any extent In the matter of passenger Jfares unless there is taken into consideration the greater speed of an air Journey. One Problem Mastered. Making careful; observations of air conditions, not in '-one section, but clear across the continent, the Post Oflice department is learning continually what must be knou to make commercial flying more and more practical. The problem, of the forced stop has beeil almost completely mastered by the postal Hying department. Des plte storms and all kinds of adverse weather conditions, the mail goes through on schedule In the post oflice planes, with such' regularity that the few dtias are negligible. The figures quoted for the mileage of French airplanes include those flown in the carrying of passengers and baggage as well as mail. The number of passengers transported throughout 10-1 was only slightly in excess of 10,HA). Transportation of passengers is the main business of the French commercial plaiK s. This phase of commercial flying has been more fully developed In France than In any other country. Much is made of the French success in carrying passengers on schedule and with but few accidents. If the same degree of passenger carrying were developed in the United States as exists in France, the total number o r:i wvin '-or fvirritM would 1 1 onlv about öo.kK). The number Of per ; sons who travel by railroad In the :i United States each year is many mll-j lions, and the development of pas-. fenger-carrying airplanes In tliis ; country in the same degree of success j as has been attained in France would provide for the transportation of less than one per cent of those who wish u-to travel. Dog Saves Lives in Blaze Started by Cat New York. A one-eyed Angora cat played the role of villain, and a small fox terrlor that of hero, inv a fire here which damaged the exclusive gown shop of Tappe. Inc., in West Fifty-seventh street. Just off Fifth avenue. The cat was blamed by Herman I. Tappe, proprietor, as the "jinx" which caused the fire, while the unnamed terrier was credited with saving many of the 100 young women employees from suffocating, by barking a prompt alarm. The cat paid with her life. ! i
