EASY TO PREDICT = - TERRORS TO COME Prophets of Evil Always Have Followers. For years England has awaited the appearance of “Old Moore's Almanack” and has provided a market for it. It is purely astrological, and the 1926 issue, now on the English market, is said to furnish more than the customary number of thrills. Indeed, one feels that the seer has been too Javish in that he has left little feor 1927. :

We get this, for instance: “Wonderment and amazement will hold you, &s in a spell, when the possibilities of 1926 are laid bare. License, debauchery, lawlessness, self-indulgence, rioting, improvidence, murder, theft and violence will attend the loosing of the unbridled passions of a perverted and godless generation. The sickle is put into reaping and the world generally will become so decimated during the ensuing four years that nothing short of divine intervention will save it from self-destruction.” The newspapers will surely be Kkept busy. Offhand, one might say that -Old Moore had driven himself into a blind alley and that the close of the year to come would find him discredited, but this is unlikely. We may think for a moment of astrologers of the

past, to say nothing of minor prophets who term themselves experts. Only a little less than 100 years ago learned men asserted that no railroad train could exceed a speed of 40 miles an hour because of the resistance of the atmosphere. Steamships could never cross the Atlantic because they could not be made large enough to carry gught save their own machinery and fuel. Of course, nothing heavier than air could contrive to make headway in the air. " :

Even before the World war began experts said that:no war could continue for more than 60 days, because of the expense, which was another predicament in which supposedly intelligent forecasters erred, but they are still in good standing, so the tribe of astrologers have mno occasion for anxiety. Certainly the assembler of woes who furnishes “Old Moore’s Almanack” to-a waiting world is safe, for some of the things he predicts in such a lavish manner must be realized. :

If they were not, it would make little difference, for since the world began or, to be more exact, since man became curious as to his future, soothsayers have been well patronized just as they are today. That they err frequently or even generally has no effect upon their popularity and astrologers and mediums find an increasing démand for their services.—Hartford Courant.

“Hog Latin” Lost Art

“The younger generation may be able to brag about lots of accomplishments that we old timers didn’t have,” said an Atkinson avenue resident of long standing, “but there is one art that we cherished as boys that is dyifig. When I was a youngster we conversed frequently in ‘Hog Latin,’ and got the greatest thrill out of believing that no one else could understand us. The other day I happened te think of that, and I haven’t forgotten a bit of the stuff. I can still rattle off those twisted syllables just as well as I ever could, and the youngsters of mine who go to college and talk French and Spanish and very modern English sat in wonder and thought that I had gone crazy. I guess that they had just the feeling I have when they shout at me in French or that very modern Engiish.”—Detroit News,

The Bible Class

At a Brooklyn reception Presidenl‘ Butler of Columbia said of the fundae mentalist-modernist quarrels: “These quarrels about whether man evolved from the ape or was created in Lden, and whether Joshua really made the sun stand still and so on—well, they remind me of a Bible class, “‘ln the Deluge,’ said the teacher, ‘all living creatures were drowned exe cept those taken ahoard the Ark. “‘q deny that,’ said a member of the class. ‘Millions escaped.’ “ ‘How ‘dare you? That is false® said the teacher. ‘What millions arg you talking about? ~ “‘The millions of fishes’ said thae class member.” '

Skeletons Go Back . to Prehistoric Age Two prehistoric skeletons, more than 80 feet in length, recently were uncovered near Hoquiam, Wash., by workmen in a railroad cut; according to an Associated Press dispatch from that place. Rev. J. Herbert Geoghegan, who examined the find, pronounced the bones those of .chthosaurs. The skeletons were imbedded in from 40 to 60 feet of limestone deposit and were’ partly petrified. The railroad excavation cut through the animals’ ribs, which could be seen extending for a distance of several feet in parallel lines.

No skull was found, but a long tearing tooth discovered among the debris was taken as indicating -that the animals were carnivorous. The ribs vary from three to twelve inches in thickness.. while a portion of shoulder blade is four feet long and five' inches thick. Knee joints and other bones discovered vary in size from several feet to only a few inches in circumference. “The character of the rock indicates that it was once sea or river bottom, which through a fault has been overturned,” said Rev. Mr. Geoghegan. “The layers of strata have been upended, leaving the animals lying in an unnatural position. =

“The upheaval which placed the bones on the top of a hill probably took place at the time the Cascade range was formed. :

- “The animal was a vertebrate and probably stood 40 feet high, counting the long expanse of neck found. The classification of the bones could be determined more exactly if we could locate the skull of one of the beasts.

“This entire country appears to have been tropical or subtropical in character and the absence of rocks and gravel proves that the glacier which covered the northern part of the eontinent at one time never touched this section.

“From the character of the soil, either river or ocean bottom, I am inclined to believe the -animals were ichthosaurs, or maritime reptiles, rather than the dinosaur, land reptile or pterodactyl, flying rept'ile.”_

Rocks Centuries Old

On the site where Trinity church, New York city, now stands, great glaciers were grinding their paths, leaving their traces on granite and other ancient stones 40,000 years ago. Evidence to support this conclusion has been unearthed by engineers who have just completed the task of underpinning the foundation of the church to prevent injury to the edifice from the rumbling subways to the east and west of the plot. During the digging, according to engineers, ice-worn - stones, deposited perhaps during the Second Glacial period, or abeut 40,000 years ago, were. found. The specimens were of granite, traprock and serpentine and were recovered just above the -hardpan.—Detroit News

Dog Spells Own Name

While dogs have a general reputation for intelligence, there are few whose education is as far advanced as that of Chum, a terrier owned by Mrs. Young, of the Studio, Cuckfield, Sussex, England, who spells his own name, placing the letters which compose it in their order without ever making a mistake. v He fetches his mistress’ shoes and gloves when she begins to take off her slippers, and then puts the slippers away, and brings to those requiring them cigarettes, matches, crumb-brush and tray, books, sticks and letters. | “He learns a lot simply from his own observation, as we have not time to teach him properly,” said his owner to a Daily Mail reporter.

“Orange House” for New York

Evans Hubbard, secretary of the Netherlands--America foundation, made a short visit to Holland recently to disctiss the plans of the foundation of a “house of Orange” in New York. The foundation intends to have a big house on Fifth avenue which ultimately will become the seat of the foundation, the Dutch consulate, the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce, an exhibiition hall for Dutch produce, a booking office for travelers, a reading room and so on.. An old Dutch facade will be, constructed. It is intended to inaugurate the “house of Orange” in 1926 on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the foundation of New Amsterdam.

They Never Grow Up

“In spite of the fact that we place note pads on the wall at the side of every room télephone, nearly all our guests insist on writing their memoranda of telephone numbers on the wall,” declared the manager of a downtown bachelor hotel. . “It's never g malicious idea with them. It’s just an outcropping of the strongest urge of childhood—to scribble on a clean space of wall. Somehow, men don’t seem to be abhle to forget this fascination.”

GHOST SEEMED TC - HAVE LAST LAUGH Desecrati>» of Grave Made Loafcr “Reform.” The story was told by the Rhode Islan<er 1o show that ghosts, like the father ¢f unhappy Hamlet, sometimes stalk the earth to right a wrong. In this case the ghost was Big Bear, chieftain of the Narragansetts, who, until he was disturbed by a bumptious relic hunter, bad slept peacefully since the days of Roger Williams amid the wooded heights of a quiet New England village, and the wicked Claudius was Pardon Pillbeck, the village ne’er-do-well, according to the New York Times. !

“Our village,” said a Rhode Islander, “must have been a stamping ground for the aborigines. You could pick up stone arrowheads everywhere, but we did not think they possessed any intrinsic' value until an archeologist collected several bushel and sold them at a handsome profit. We set out to emulate him. Unfortunately, he had gone over the ground thoroughly and the only place left was the Indian burying ground. But none of us thought of disturbing those ancient remains. . :

“Pardon Pillbeck had lived for 40 years on the bounty of relatives. He looked upon work as drudgery, but enlisted in the search for the Indian relics with boyish enthusiasm. One night while we were discussing the possibilities of finding arrowheads, the door was darkened by his unaccustomed presence. e did not have to be told that he had met with a stroke of good fortune. He was chuckling gleefully to himself. Surveying us triumphantly, he fished from his pockets arrowhead after arrowhead. They were beautiful beyond description. Last he brought to light a handsomely carved tomahawk.

“He had opened the Indian graves and then clumsily rifled them. Naturally, feeling against Pardon ran high. I think be might have been lynched if he had been found. But he had disappeared completely. Weeks passed without so much as an inkling of him, and the story grew and persisted that the ghost of Big Bear had risen up, pursued and slain him. Years passed and still no tiding of the luckless fellow. .

“Some fifteen years later business took me to a small town in western Pennsylvania. After supper I strolled down the main street. In the center of the square a big man with flowing gray hair was extolling from an elevated platform the medicinal qualities of a remedy for all ills. Beside him stood a bulky Indian in the full regalia of his tribe. As I drew nearer I recognized beneath the war paint of the doctor’s companion the sodden features of Pardon Pillbeck. . :

“Later he told me the story. He had indeed desecrated the grave of Big Bear, the Narragansett chieftain. Returning to his home with his ill-gotten spoils, he had encountered the ghost of the chieftain. The ghost had forced him to don the habiliments of his tribe and be(:(ime the slave of a fake Indian medicineman.” . .

Land “Reclaimed”’

At Turners Falls, Mass., on a tract of high, sandy land considered “worked- out” and abandoned for farming long ago, the local electric service company has for several years past been conducting a model electrically irrigated farm. Now approximately 20 acres are under -cultivation and produce an income of from $4OO to $5OO an acre. - Water for this irrigation is pumped from the Connecticut river, 175 feet below the level of the farm, by electrically run irrigation pumps. Not only is this farm-pro-ducing garden “truck” but also highgrade leaf tobacco and small fruits.

Odd Occupation

A recent trial of a tangle of domestic troubles in a New York court brought to light an odd occupation. The man’s wife said he worked in a barber shop, and didn’t bring home any of his tips. The husband protested that he was not a barber but a “capper.” Answering a question from the court for an explanation of his occupation, he said that he put on a barber’s coat, and stood in the doorway. “Customers,” he said, “duck in as long as there is a ‘barber’ standing idle in front of the shop.” The proprietor seems_to profit by it, as he pays the “capper” $35 a week, e

Coffin to Suit All

Taste in Coffins is being educated by British manufacturers of such products, by means of an exhibition of caskets in London. A great range of coffins is displayed from the old-fashioned affair to modern rectangular chests. They include the mahogany and Chippendale style and the oak and Jacobean style. Both are richly lined with silk. There are also white coffins for babies, and “earth to earth” coffins, which dissolve and disappear shortly after burial. :
