TI7HILE railroad tragedies and street car accidents In the United States exacted by automobile casualties is steadily mounting, gays the StewartWarner Safety Council for the prevention of automobile accidents. Railroad accidents have been cut more than one-third, or from 12,520 In 1913 to 8,078 In 1923, the latest government figures available. Street car fatalities also have been cut down one-third or from 3,080 in 1913 to 2,000 tefTyears later. Automobile deaths, on the other hand, have Increased over five-fold. Against the 3,822 deaths In 1913 we have 10,452 in 1923, and the score Is growing each year. Care, more care and still more care, Is the solution of this national problem. The pedestrian must be always on the alert and as spry as a kangaroo, if lie is to keep out of harm’s way, and the driver for his part must never relax bla vigilance for-a moment when human lives are at his mercy.

Unwise to Disregard Danger in Lightning There are case* of persons having garments torn by lightning while they themselves'*’have suffered no serious harm. The body is largely composed of water, and If the clothing Is dry the bolt wIU pass through the body. If the clothing Is saturated the bolt may follow the clothing Instead of -the body. Rls advised by some that anyone caught In a thunderstorm In the wilds should Immerse himself In order to saturate his garments, or, if this be Impossible, to expose himself fully to the rain in order to be drenched at once. There are few manifestations of nature’s power more awe Inspiring and at the same time more fascinating than a violent thunderstorm, Comparatively few adults acknowledge a feeling of terror In the presence of this majestic display. There is, however, a distinct difference between fear and caution. The danger from lightning Is never great, but It exists and It should be reduced as nearly as possible to the vanishing point

Buddhists Now Claim Discovery of America Five Buddhist priests from China ] discovered America. This Is the claim j made by Scie Tou Fa, director of the' Chinese information service In France,; reported by the Pathfinder Magazine. 1 These priests In 458 discovered an “lm-' mense land" lying 3,250 leagues east of China. They named the land "Fou Chang,” and, according to Scle, from the description which they gave of It there Is no possible doubt that it was the American continent Nearly forty years later Fou Chang was visited by a Buddhist priest named Hul Shen. Where he landed is not known; but there is a legend in Mexico about “Haipecocha,” who, Scle, claims, was the Buddha priest who dressed In a long robe and taught the inhabitants anew religion and philosophy. In this connection Scle reminds scholars of| the subject that the first Spanish explorers who landed in South America and Mexico were struck by the resemblance of the native architecture to; that of the Far East. For instance, one god had an elephant head, certainly must have been of Asiatic origin. A figure Cf Buddha, say# Scle, was found In Mexico; it was squatting in Oriental fashion. Even in Colorado Chinese legends wera found.
