S FLORIDA RABBIT A FIGHTER Victor In Remarkable Combat With Dog, as Reported by “Honest and Upright Person.” ‘ Russeil Thompson of Sarasota, a noted angler and dealer In fshing tackle, consequently a very honest and upright person, has submitted the following, with affidavit attached to the Florida Fisherman. “Last Sunday morning I happened to be standing looking out the win. dow. All at once Dr.- Jack Halton's bird and hound dog came down the alley with his back feet over his neck (in the act of running) and Mayor Edwards’' rabbit in the lead. The rabbit Is a very large specimen of the rodent family and well able to care for himself, as well as the dog who ‘happens to be a combination bird, rabbit, coon and anything else that happens to be in sight., Well, It was not long before the same pair came back, but the rabbit was not in the lead. Rube, the dog, and the rabbit played for about twenty minutes up -and down the alley, in the back yards, and seemed to be having a wonderful time, when all of a sudden the rabbit, tiring of such amusement (please believe me), jumped and bit Dr. Jack Halton's dog under the neck, then, to do the job up right, kicked poor Major several times, thus ending the ‘morning's exercise.” .

ONE HIGH SCHOOL A DAY

For Twenty-Eight Years That Has Been the Record This Coun. : try Has Made. :

In a pamphlet on high schools In this country, issued by the federal bureau of education, it Is stated that the total number of these schools In 191718 was 18981. The maliling list of the bureai includes the names of 16,800 high schools. The number of these schools has increased over 402 per cent since 1890. This means that one high' school has been establUshed In this country each day in each calendar year since 1890—a high school a day for 28 years, ; In 1880 60.8 per cent of the high schools were under public control, but in 1818 the public-controlled high schools were 87 per cent of the whole, The average slae of a city high school is 6853 students and of a rural school 59 students. : In 1890 only 312 persons in each 1,000 population were enrolled in public high schools. In 1918 the corresponding number was 15.6, or almost five times as great a _mwoportion. Californla leads In high-school education, with 27 persons out of each 1,000 in the population. Kansas Is a close second, with South Carollna at the bottom of the list, with 5.3 persons.

The Yellow World.

- It is easy to see why China's Imperial color is yellow, writes a correspondent from . Yangste river, Her rivers are yellow, her long plains are yellow—especially in a famine year such as this, and as for her seas—the boundaries of her world—so desertyellow is their color that a string of camels crossing them would look more In keeping than a ‘string of junks. And so one can understand why the very heart of the heart of China, the Imperial city, should le like a shimmering lake of golden tiles within her lotus-besieged walls, Even against the evidence of my own eyes I cannot. belleve that the Great Wall is built of solid ordinary stones lald one upon the other. Rather It seems moulded ount of the stuff of which the mountains themselves were made, long ago when the world was plastic and empty of all save possibilities. There never was so sinuous a thing as the Great Wall built by men, I think, so sinuous

The elevator makes a climb of 108 feet, delivering the passenger Into the maln hall of the museum, v e

Copper’s Value as Alloy.

The use of a small proportion of copper in all iron and steel products exposed to alr and moisture is advised by D. M. Buck, metallurgical engineer of the Ameriean Sheet and Tin Plate company. The use of 0.15 to--025 per cent, in normal open-hearth or Bessewer steel greatly lessens cor‘roston, but herétofore the use of copper steel has been chiefly confined to,} sheet metal. It 1s estimated that the | life of the sheet metal is at least ‘doubled by the addition. Copper melts ‘at about 700 degrees F. below the aver‘age tapping temperature of the steel, and it mtﬁn:s"readﬂy through the BoWolk T s . esei

“ARMENIAN NATION LOOKS T 0 U. S. FOR SUCCOR FROM DEATH”

Edwin M. Bulkley, Financier and Philanthropist, Defines Near East Relief Work.

‘New York.—" There I 8 no spot on the globe today where thefe s more despernte and hopeless suffering than in Armenia,” Edwin M. Bulkiey, the well known New York banker, who has Just been elected chalrman of the board of trustees of Near East Reilef, declared today. Mr. Bulkley succeeds the late Alexander J. Hemphill -as head of the American rellef work In Armenla, Turkey, Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia and Persia. He has long been connected with the banking house of Spencer Trask & Co, and Is thoroughly conversant with the Near Eastern situation. : - e “Elsewhere,” Mr. Bulkley continued, “there 1s famine that tears at our heart-strings and evokes our pity and our help. But in Armenta it Is not starvation alone that the people face—but starvation coming after six years’

destruction, wrought by a war that has never ended and that today is not even ended. It Is starvation following pestilence, and stalking hand in hand with death from exposure, from violence or from disease. “In the mountains between Kars and Alexandropol there are 263,000 'human beings witheut clothing, food or shelter in the bitter winter, who are - wandering from place to place lke people In a nightmare. Unless they ‘are succored before the end of another’ month, they will all be dead. In southern Persia, the remnant of the ancient family of Chaldesn Christians have been forced to remounce forever all hope of ever returning to the homeland where they have dwelt and flourished for 1,600 years, and to become pitiful fugitives, dependent upon the generosity of strangers for life itself. In Clilcia, 15,000 Armenian refugees have crowded into the coast regions seeking safety from the anarchy which reigns In the interior, in terror for their lives. They live from day to day on the food which is given them in thé soup kitchens established by the Near East Rellef. Scattered throughout the Near East, there are some 7,790490 Armenians, the remainder of a nation of 4,000,000, who have neither government, country, homeland, sheiter or hope of regeneration, save that which lieg In the great heart of America. “It Is.a tragedy so stupendous that it 1s difficult for us to grasp its meaning. A whole nation, a llving, Christian people, face to face with extermination today, unless we help. We shalh se¢ an entire nation disappear from the face of the earth before our eyes if we withhold our hand now, when the call comes to us to save by giving, or by inaction to condemn to death. R Save the Children! ' “Perhaps we cannot save all the ‘grown peopde of this oldest Christian nation in the world. But at least we can save the little children who hold 4 future in their hands. They have %"‘ no one.” They have harmed o one. And they bave suffered through the preclous years of childhood a calvary of agony and wretched- . ness. For three years the Near East seliet, ap.
