TAUGHT IN CRUEL. MANNER

Performing Animals Frequently In- ‘ spired by Torture to Remember and Go Through Trick.

The exhibition of performing animals as a means of livelihood is mot & modern practice. Nor is the use of cruelty in their training. The Arab writer, John Leo, gives an excellent account of one method in his “Description of Africa,” published at Rome in 1526. He describes the preliminary training of a .dancing camel. The young camel, he says, is placed for half anihour in a confined space, “the floor whereof is hot with fire” The trainer then beats a drum, and the camel falls a dancing, not from any desire to keep time with the beating of the.drum, but because of “the hot pavement which offendeth his feet.” This tralning was continued for about f year, after which time the camel was deemed fit for presentation ‘“unto the publike view of the people, when as hearing the noyse of a drum, and remembering the time when he trode upon the hot flgore, he presently falleth a dancing and leaping; and so, use being turned into a kind of nature, he perpetually observeth the same custome” - ; o o At Cairo Leo saw a wonderful performing ass, whose antics have been described in another famous book, Topsell's “Historie of Foure-Footed Beastes,” published in 1607. This ass was almost human, says Leo. .

ORIGIN LOST IN ANTIQUITY

One Can Only Speculate as to Whence . Came Proverbs That Today Are. . Household Words. >

. A peculiarity of the proverbs of the ißible is -that they are worldwile in ftheir application, but it is true also that they are not in the main historical in their allusions. The quest for } true origins is probably as futile as it is unrewarding. We share with Mr. Marvin the surprise he felt when he discovered that the phrase, “Thou hast the advantage of the angry when thou i keepest silence,” is written in the precepts of Ptah-hotep, dating back to a iperiqd more than 3,000 years before the birth of Christ. - Who knows, in‘deed, but that Plutarch and Perlander, ‘Thales and Heiron, Solon and Solomon, and a maultitude of others who lived in bygone ages, “borrowed their wise sayings from the talk ofjthe firesides, - and the .conversations. in the market places; so that the origin of many proverbs now flippantly quoted in the converse of men is lost in the mists of forgotten centuries?’—-Port-land Oregonian. : »

The Swastika Symbol.

The subject of the origin of the Swastika symbol has gziven rise to protracted controversy. The latest contribution to the question is that of Harit Krishna Deb, in the Journal of the Asiatic Society, Bengal. He suggests that it is a modification of the ‘mode of expressing the ancient Hindu syllable Om, which is used in religious rites. This, a pothook with square ends, was duplicated, one across the other, to form'the Swastika, meaning “pbringer of blessings” which goes back in India te the Seventh century, when it was used as a cattle mark. Another reference is well béfore 528 B. C. It is found on gold leaf on a, vase with relics of Buddha, and iti appears on the Editts of Asoka (272232 B. C.). The earllest example known is on a spindle whorl from the third city of Troy, about 1800 B. C., and it is frequent in Greek vases aboiut 600 B. C. : Mexico, Former Home of 8011-Weevil. Economically speaking, the cotton boll-weevil is by far the worst insect enemy of mankind. Cotton clothes the world, and we produce insthis country four-fifths of all that is growni The earliest home of the boll-weevil seems to have been the plateau region of Mexico or Central America. As an enemy of the cotton, it first attracted attention in 1843, near Vera Cruz, Thereafter its spread was rapid, and in parts of Mexieco its depredations caused abandonment of cotton growing. - Not unti] 1892 did it invade the United States. In that year it crossed the Rio Grande near Brownsville, having obtained a good foothold in Texas by 1894. The boll-weevil proceeded to extend its range, and has since spread at a rate of 40 to 160 miles annually.

Trees -Demand Much Light.

- In some natural pine forests, where the trees grow very close together, statistics show that more than 4,000 trees per acre die between the ages of ten and eighty, and that only 300 out of the remainder die between the ages of eighty and one hundred. With some this natural dying proceeds faster than with others. With pine; birch, aspen and all species which demand a great deal of light, the death rate is enormeus. The spruce, beech, fir and, generally speaking, all speeies which are satisfied with less light are not affected so seriously. : ~ What He Was Looking Fof. “Have you a book writ by a feller ngmed ‘Bucldy' ~ '« .y ~ The bookseller was disconcerted for a moment, but finally admitted that he ' “I'm in the movie business,” continued the stranger, “and I think maybe ‘this book would make a good five-reel featuvn?’ © o 0 S 0 | “What gave you that jdeat” .~ “I overheard a literary guy talking ‘about it.

GOOD-BY TO CLOTHES MOTH

‘Scientists Said o Have Discovered { . Preparation Fatal to That N Household Pest. ;

‘The clothes moth, which it is estlmated destroys tem thousand tons of wool each year, may be absolutely controlled by the use of a pew chemical called “Eulan F,” which may be used in wool finishing. The substance is barmless to human beings, but wool impregnated with it is not eaten by the larvae of the moth except when starvation threatens, and it is then speedily fatal. The chemical has been prepared by the dye works of Leverkusen at Jena, Germany, by Doctor Meckbach and his collaborators. Although it is preferably applied to the woolen article during or after the finishing process in the factory, it may be added subsequently to the completed goods by soaking them in a cold 2 per cent solution, or it may be sprayed on. The goods are then rinsed with pure water; and the Eulan finish is then said to be permanent for three or four household washings before needing renewal. A similar process may be used with furs, ; The success of the new preparation, which is claimed by its inventors to be complete, comes after many years of experiment. It was noted 50 years ago that wool dyed green was safe from moths, and this was later shown to be due to the use of pigment called “Martius Yellow” in the dye. It remained then to find a chemical which would have this effect on the caterpillar, but be odorless and without effect on the color, or finish of the goods. . This, the inventors say, they have done and that tests extending over several years have demonstrated the efficacy of this remedy against this great enewmy of the careful housewife, against which the sole protection had previously been a kind of gas attack through the use of strong-smelling chemicals. -

Sixteenth Century Collection of Letters Recently Discovered in Austrian National Library. & - -

A Sixteenth century -collection of some 35,000 letters, which has ‘just been discovered among the treasures of the Austrian National library, provides a sample.of the raw material from which histories are written that is of more than usual interest. The collection, it appears, was made by one Count Philip Fugger, of the great ‘House of Fugger, in Augsberg, the Fuggers representing the “Rothschilds” of the Reformation period. This house employed correspondents in almost every country, by whom coples of private letters containing news or entertaining gossip wefe obtained to be retailed to the public. Included in these letters is ome giving a. full aecount of the defeat of the great Spanish armada, with a description of the effect it produced in Spain. Another is a dispatch from one of Drake’s captains, Something -more than 200 of the letters, well selected, have been reprinted by a Vienna publishing firm, | A Little Goes a Long Way. ‘ The research in radium. and the X-ray is being’ carried forward con _stantly, much to the benefit of humanity at large.

The fact is that it requires only a microgram of radium, mixed with zinc sul ~phide crystals, 80 to cover the hands of a number of watches that they will be luminous for years, and a microgram is but a millionth part of a gram, —Floyd W.

Child Labor In China.

Women and children are especially cheap in China, says Miss Tak-hing Shin, a welfare worker of Hong Kong, who is now in Burope studying conditions, In China there are 400,000,000 people, with only 4 per cent literate, and they die off by thousands, ske asserts. When a child is a week or two old she is taken by her mother to the factory, laid in a corner, and fed at intervals. If she survives, in a year or two she toddles about among the machines. At four or five she learns the rudiments of the work, and at six or seven she 1s an adept, taking her place in the ranks of regular workers. They work from 12 to 16% hours hours a day. - i

The 1923 outlook for sheep in New Zealand Is about 80 per cent below 1922, since more than 3,700,000 sheep - and 5,150,000 lambs were killed during the calendar year 1922, The quantity ~and quality of lambs has been affected by adverse weather conditions. How“ever, the high price of wool is causing farmers to keep thelr sheep now, and the 1923 estimates of killings are considerably below last year, according to a cable from Consul Karl’de G.
