Some Warlike Females - - Who Fought Own Battles Many married men suspect the truth of the legend of the Amazons, a race of warlike women who once overran LEurope, ventured as far as ludia and Africa and founded colonies in Asia Minor. = Fairly authentic history records that in 1540 an explorer, Francesco de Orellana;, making his way from -Peru to the Atlantic through the Brazils, was told of a tribe of warrlor women who lived apart from the men. He proceeded on his journey and approached the neighborhood at the junction of the Madera and Maranon rivers, and suddeniy found himself ©Oppdsed by a group of warlike women who were gathered on the bunks and were leading the men in what might have been a battle, had the explorer given thiem any excuse for it. . Being convinced that he had fallen on- the renowned Amazons, Orellana eross-exumined some of the natives, who confirmed hig belief. The women appeared to be very tall, robust, fair of complexion, with long hair twisted over their heads and skins of wild beasts wound around their loins, They carried bows and arrows with which they succeeded in killing many of the explorer's parte. o It is said to have been for these fair but ferocious euemies that Orellana named the river Amazon. , Figures Are Vzluable Only When Accurate Statistics. ave like ‘knives: ll.n'ey can be used for gouod or evil, obstcrves Dr. 'JN‘\M;!M B. Rice in Hyoela. 'llie com: monkst sentence heard in debates uswilly begins: “Statistics . preve that—" But Doctor Rice warns that statistics prove nothing except when they have been accurately colleeted, compiled, interpreted and applied. In the hands of some devotee of a faddish project a given set of figures may prove 'or disprove - anything. When one hears a speaker guote fig: ures from memory or without giving the source of .his information it ‘is time to go home, says Doctor Rice, It is eaey ‘to forget whether a certain death rate was 14 per thousand or 14 per hundred thousand.’ e . The unscientific man uses figures to prove what he started out to prove, while the gcientist uses them to lead him to the truth. = ' ; The Rapacious Pike ! The pikes Tepuiation for cruelly and voraeionsness is such that it has been popularly dubbed the ‘“‘water _{W(‘»H." [t e probable. however, that many species of sen fizh ave equally, if nof a great deal more, !‘:,\;r;‘(-hzus. Large dosfish, congers, pollack, cod and basz . arve: especially - forocious, while halibut will very often seize and kill other-large fish. An [inglish angler was ‘plaving’ a. latge econger when a huge halibit swam up to and savagely bit at it -a y)z‘:i('(‘ciii;i:r'th:lt cost the halibut its lifes for on it malking. for the foundered conger a second time the boatman contrived to gaff and haul it aboard. : There have been many examples of pike being found dead, choked by {heir own species, and these fish not infrequently attack anotlier pike that has been hooked by a fisherman. 5 o , Tt = Bio Deyiha : - “Pig Bertha” had a firing distance of 75 miles. The principle on which this long-distance gun was operated is that if a shell is. fired upward at an ancle of 55 degrees to the Horizontal, and at a highivelocity, so that the shell will rise above the dense atmosphere close to the earth’s surface and rapidly reach the thin air which exists at a heizht of ten miles above the earth, then its flicht will be practically unimpeded- and it will travel a oregt distance hore it falls again. During its m}.rhit from the “Biz Bertha’ the German <hell rose to a height of 24 miles, and fraveled more than 50 miles of ifs course in a very thin atmosphere. , e .

Variety in London

oOdd conditions are frequently brought to light in connection with the boroughs in London. Often opposite sides eof streets are. in different boroughs. One pavement will be illuminated by incandescent gas; across the road electric light is used, The dustbins of the “odds” are more frequently emptied than those of the “evens.” * A child living at No. 41 may attend a school from which No. 42’s infants are debarred. And in certain distriets it is quite common to see, at the closing how: of a public house on one side of theé road. little groups crossing the street to where an extra half-hour's license permits of “just another !” -

“Corn’” &r ‘‘Maize”

An Enclish wiier says: "What a pity it is that we cannot come to! some agreement with North Ameriea about ‘corn and "maize” . Corn . with us means wheat Across the Atlantic it means maize. So when I read, as 1 have done just now, that paper has been successfully - madé from ‘corn’ stflks. I don’t kupow what is meant. On this paper a dailv journal has been prinied in the state of Kansas. "This looks like being a discovery of far-reaching congequence.” , Patiently Waitin Mrs. Nexdore— Isn't you% husband doing anything to cure his deafness?

Various lLegends Tell. = ~ of the Origin of Music Music, mest authorities agree, had a vocal origin. Some believe man attempted to imitate the sounds of birds, others say his melody developed from hunting calls or other vocal signalg employed in primitive life. A Chinese legend goes so fur as fo declare that a miraculous bird provided the musieal seale, »while the Japanese say music was devigsed by the gods to lure the sun-goddess from a cave . where she-had retired. - The Arabian legend has it* that Mcedhar, a camel driver, fell from his seat and hurt his arm. In pailn he ealled out *“Ja, Jodah.” = Hix fine voice stirred ‘up the camels so that they moved nore quickIy. So (who could not guess the resuit!) from that time all camel-driv-ers sang. 2 It ‘is interestineg to note that the Greek word from- which *“‘music¢” is derived "was used by that people to embrace all the urts over which the Nine . Muses were held to preside. Hence, “Music” in thase days included all Hi«w"hr:nwhus of - education coneerned with .the development -of the mind as opposed (o’ the body. What moderns speciticatly eall musie, they referred to. s “harmony.” : Morning Glory Blossom - .+ Saved for Count’s Eyes A legend tells of the intruduction of the morning: glory into Japan, says the New York Times. A Jiapanese prinee hieard of a vine that blossomed only in the early. morning, and notified the foreign nobleman who owned it he was coming to-see it.. When he arrived the vines no longer were trailing over the walls, The entire- garden h:ad been uprooted and there was. no sign of the flower. A Being angered, he started to. leave. Having been invited to tea, however, his sense of politeness <;¢'n_\.:lwllod him to. turn back.: On entering the tearoom he siaw-d single moining glory blossom in a vase in a. rdised alcove. Inquiring of ‘the nobleman why the garden had been ruined, the prince received the reply, “I ruined the garden in order that you micht rveally see the blossom. . If it were in planty, you could not really have obzerved it so well as you did this sincle last flower saved for your eyves alone.” ‘Coleridge’s Expensive Innocence Material things bothered Coleridge little more than they do most other poets and it is said that as a result of his aerial abstraction hie came to attend. Jesus eolleze, Cambridge, as infiocence personified: One of his biographers relates how ™ the young man - was accosted hy a pelite interior decorator requesting to be pevmitted to {ix up the tiew pupil’s rooms, “How would you like (hem furnished?’ the tradesman asked in his most solicitous manner.: *Jusi as you please, sir,” replied Coleridge, thinking the man was employed by the college. The decorator took the young mi. 1 »t his large word and did a thorouchiv coed joh of it Coleridee moicid in ad was well pleased with his quarters. A few: days later ‘he received a bill, the amount of it making Lim sp, but ‘seeing where the erjui was. he «id not complain. e Thought Stars New Euch Day Melrodorus of Chios (not to be confused with the. four other Grecian philosophers of tlie same name) was a conmiplete skeptic. He accepted the Democritian theoiy of atoms and void and also believed in a plurality of worlds, but he had a very ingenious theory. of his own by which he staunchlv stood. He declared the stars were formed from day to day by the moisture in the air under the heat of the ‘sun. His radical skepticism also is seen in one of his writings quoted by Cicero: “We know nothing, no, not even tvhether we Know or not % His theory about the utnrs drow a lot of contemptuous criticism but he came back at his crities with, “Everything is to each person only what it appears to him to be.” .

THE LIGONIER BANNER, LIGONIER, INDIANA

Obiecied to Shaving by Monkey Apprentice Sir Harry Lauder is fond of telling the following story: : The sailor son of an Arbroath barbér had brought home with him a large, hairy, and particularly ugly. menkey, which he presented to his futlier. The barber trained the monkey to assist him in the lathering of his customers’ chios, much to their amusement, : : " One day a stranger dropped into the shop, and had a good look at the mon- - key sitting in a far corner staring intelligently at a coimic paper. By and by the barber was called to the door to answer some query or other, and in his absence the monkey seized the lathering brush and ° proceeded to work diligently on the customer's face. Afterwards he grabbed a razor and started to strop it with equal diligence, but in a grossly careless manner. Mien he clambered up on the arm of the chair and made as if to begin shaving the alarmed customer. “No, na, ma wee mannie!” said the latter, jumping to his feet and push--inz the monkey aside. “ll've no objectiong te ye seapin’ me, an’ yer stroppin' maybe a’ richt, but yer father'll hae to do the shavin’!” - Eskimo Musicians Not ' - Enthusiastic About Jazz The Eskimo must be the great music-lover, It is said of him that he will €it' on bkis native ice for hours listening to the graphophone. His own ‘musi¢ he makes on an instrument which consists -of a skin tightly stretchied over the frame of a hoop—half druim @nd half tambourine. Eight plavers of eight of these instruments make an Eskimo orchesira. With each man striking the one note of his instrument with- a rod, the eight notes of the octave are produced. Also, the mu%ii:iun sings as he plays. Needless to say, the people nourished on this music are amazed by the mote elvilized music, and it is said of them that they greatly appreciate graphophone records of singers. Su'angely‘ enotzh. too, they prefer most other music to jazz. : , ‘ Antique Dealers’ Tribunal ‘ One of the strangest tribunals In England sits at regular intervals in. a upper roon in St. James' street West,. in the center of the great art world of London. It is the antique dealers’ “High Couit of Justice,” to which any of the 550 members of the British Antique Dealers’ association has the right to appeal. Its judges, who sometimes number as many as 20, include some of the world's greatest experts on precious stones, old china, tapes: Aries, pictures and antique furniture. Disputes arising out of the sale of an antique of more than ordinary importance .are often referred to the c(;'n't for arbitration, and if-they think fit, the ‘judges have the right to call -in independent art experts. It is to protect the interests of antique dealers and safeguard the honor of their industry that this tribunal has been established.—Hartford Courier, - The Prize “Howler” The prize “howler” must surely be attributed to the boy who suggests that “the Kodak 'is the Bible of the Mohammiedans.” : i Here are others: “A fissure is a mah who gells fish.” + YT'he dome of St Paul's@ support-_ ed by eight peers, who are. unfortunately cracked.” = “A bdwzzard is the inside of a duck.” “Iquinoxes are the inhabitants of Greenland.” > “Bacchus first taught the Greeks to get drunk.” “Apollo was the king of table waters,” . : Ly “Shieakespeare lived -at Windsor with ‘his merry wives.” o Everybody Pussy-Footing Asg street trafiie noises become worse and worse in the large cities, the pedestrian becomes still quieter in his movements, by the use of rubber soles “and heels. : Even in Lancashire quietly padding rubber and leather steadily replace the clatter of clogs and wooden shoes. The silent shoe is'a modern uotion ‘Noisy boots were formerly sometliing to be proud of. The gallants of Alexandria let people know when they were coming, the London Macaroni of the Eighteenth century wore heel-tips that clinked, and a Northampton boot ‘manufacturer says that some of his West Indian orders used to stipulate that the boots must squeak!

Says Cohn Found Bacteria That Dr. Ferdinand Cohn, the botanist, and not Robert- Koch, the chem(ist, was the discoverer of bacteriology, was brought out in Germany® during .the recent celebration of the centenary of Koch there. Cohn is said to have examined the frontier regions between plant and mineral. Then cameé his investigations of the baeterin. He discovered a number of mysterious carriers of sickness and grouped them into a system. He influenced a young physician to pursue his scientific studies in bacteriological research, = The young physician was Koch. : : .
