LION HUNT BEFORE MOVING PICTURE MACHINE T ” *c> '» ~ Wia -A; ? . JMMi L. S'-® Ife ' : 'ffet * ?■ A <-’*• i'Wfc-’ ''idc*£z ’&s‘ ■ ■ •'• -’W ? -‘ ? . ? C HERRY KEARTON, a famous animal photographer, recently organized a remarkable lion hunt In order to obtain cinematograph films and the films were exposed at a distance of only 15 yards from the man-eater which the natives were slaying. The beast was first hunted out by men on horseback, and then the natives, armed with spears, made the attack, in company with Mr. Kearton’s little dog, who went in after the king of beasts and hung on to his tall, even until the quarry was dead. It need scarcely be said that this feat of cinematography called for great courage and skill on the part of the operator, especially as the natives would not allow Mr. Kearton to carry ary firearms, as they were afraid that he might fire at the lion and shoot one o< them while they were sarrouFding the beast.

NEW IN ASTRONOMY

Prof. McM'llan of Chicago University Doubts Nebular Theory. If One Could Throw Baseball Hard Enough It Would Never Touch Earth—Sun Must Eventually Exhaust Its Energy.' Kansas City, Mo. —Could you stand on top of a high building and throw a basebail around the earth? Certainly, Bays William Duncan McMillan, pnofesBor of astronomy in the University of Chicago, “if you throw it hard enough. “The moon,” he said, “is falling inward the earth at the rate of one-twer tleth Os an inch a second, and t! earth Is falling toward the sun at t rate of one-eighth of an inch every 1. miles. But the moon never will fall Into the earth and the earth never will fair into the sun. The reason is that while the earth is falling toward the Bun, at the same time it is falling outward from it sufficiently to keep the same relative distance. If you stand on top of a high building and drop a baseball it will travel to the ground tn a straight line. But if you throw it I outward it will reach the ground in a curve, and the farther you throw it the I greater will be the arc it will describe. If you should throw it far enough it wouldn’t strike the ground at all, but would continue i* a curve all around the earth and come back to your hand. That is what the earth to doing—it is being thrown around the Bun every 24 hours and nev-ar strikes Astronomy, the oldest and most ex )Bct science, nevertheless, la discovering something new all the. time, Pro! : kcMilfan asserts. Great progress has been made even in thu last ten Fears. • “Most of what we know about the stars,” he said, “we have Isqrned quite recently. We know them now as well as though we had scratched them with a nail. We have reached a point where we almost are ready to reject the nebular theory of the creation of the universe. We know more about the sun than we ever did. The only thing about that the science of astronomy has not outgrown is the Newtonian !■ law of gravity —that remains and never can be changed. Mathematically, astronomy has reached a high point of ■ exactness. Astronomy is the mother Os mathematics; It has pushed the mathematicians forward to every triumph they ever achieved.” “Could the mathematicians construct a new solar system that would work as well as the present one?” Prof. McMillan was asked. | “On no other theory that mathematics ever could evolve would the solar system work,” he said. “Change it a hair’s breath, and there would be a i wreck on the main line past all untangling. That does not mean that, perfect as it is, the solar system will go on forever. It will not. There is Uo such thing as perpetual motion, and some time our universe as we know it will cease to exist. The sun has been pouring forth its tremendous light and heat for five hundred million years, fcnormous as that reservoir of energy | is, it must eventually exhaust itself. When it does life on the planets must cease.” “About when will that happen, professor?” “O say in twenty or thirty million years. It isn’t anything new for a Bun to go out. “ The sky is full of ex tlnct suns. ’ “Is it true that the moon came oU< of the Pacific ocean? People out in California say you can see the edges where it was broken off.” “Well, it’s possible, but more lively the moon, the earth and all the planets (rare born of a tremendous collision be|wsen our sun and another sun. You | gM see that there would bo sparks fiy-

ing in such a smash. Well, our earth is one of the sparks.” 9 “Could such a collision happen again?” “It could, if the other sun were big enough to stand the heat. Otherwise It would be consumed before It reached our luminary. If a column of ice 40 miles in diameter and as many million miles long, as you choose to make it were projected at our sun at a velocity of two hundred thousand miles a second, it never would get there —the tain would melt it. So you see anybody that reaches the sun must be able to stand the racket, so to speak “This collision theory is the basis of the new hypothesis of the creation of our universe, that U displacing the nebular theory. Acordlng to the new theory the earth never was a molten ass. ; It was built cold. In the begining—l am talking humanly now, in stronomy there is no beginning and ’-o end —in the beginning the earth ; was a relatively small fragment, and : its growth has been due to the accre- | tions of meteoric matter. For millions I of years this matter has been falling lon the earth, and is falling today. The heat in the center of the earth simply is caused by the compression of the outer mass which sets up ’friction.” “If there is no end to matter why should the sun go out?” “The sun is nothing except a reservoir of energy, and it is sending it out and taking none in. I do not say that this energy is ending, it still will be in the universe, but no longer in the sun, and when it ceases to come from the sun that will be the end of the earth so far as life is concerned. The universe will keep on, only we won’t be here.”

Deacons’ Card Games Over

Friendship Snaps Over Squabbles About Pinochle and Flock of Annoying Guinea Fowls. New York. —Two deacons sat on a Sunday morn, with their faces and their smiles forlorn, and the words of grace on their fevered lips were drowned by the clash of the dwindling chips, for the words of grace that the deacons use are the same as those of the men who lose. And this, though known some decades back, has caused surprise in Hackensack. To think that the man who can pass the plate, with a scowling face if his brother’s late, and can even quote what the preachers say, would open a pot on the Sabbath day and start a raid on his neighbor’s stack, is most too much for Hackensack. A careful study of the foregoing, will in some measure explain the intensity of Hackensack’s amazement, when John V. Roscoe, a deacon, appeared in the Bergen county court to sue John H. Demarest, another deacon. for >IO,OOO damages, because of harsh words uttered by the latter when their friendship snapped in the Dutch Reformed church, Mr. Roscoe being superintendent of the Sunday school. Yet some time ago, Mr. Demarest became displeased at Mr. Roscoe’s guinea fowl and told the department of health about them, since when there have been cool words, which shocked Mr. Roscoe’s sensibilities >IO,OOO worth. But when Mr. Demarest was taken into court he became angered -and gave the whole snap away. He said that he and his brother deacon were in the habit of playing pinochle for -.iioney until far into Sunday morning ■.util the guinea fowl came between am. Mr. Roscoe declared that they quit at half-past eleven always, but Mr. Demarest said that that was only when Mr. Roscoe was winner. The jury in Judge Black’s court looked Mr. Demarest over and failed to see how he could utter >IO,OOO worth of biting English, but they did think that Mr. Roscoe had been dam-

SLAUGHTER 1,000 TAME DEER One Animal Rubs Nose Against Hunt er*B Gun Barrel, and Is Allowed to Escape. , Springfield, Mass. —Tamer than they have been for years, more than 1,000 deer were killed, it is estimated, in the state during the season which has closed. In several instances sportsmen failed to get the game, because it was browsing in pastures with cattle, and could not be killed safely. One sportsman from Athol was approached by a deer, which rubbed Its nose against the barrel of the stalker's gun. The deer was permitted to go Its way. The open season was not attended by any fatalities, and so far as known only four persons were Injured. In one instance a sportsman shot himself in the foot and in another a gun barrel exploded. It is expected that dead deer will be found In the woods in the five western counties for weeks, as hundreds of the wounded animals escaped. Strong opposition Is likely to develop to a further trial of the open season, and the protests of the farming element, which is strong in the legislature, will be supported by prominent men and women In the cities. Loses Dollar Two Ways. Columbus, O. —Mike Popovitch, a young Pole, lost a dollar in a bet the other day in a double sense. He bet he could throw up a silver dollar and catch U in his mouth. He got it in his mouth all right as it descended, but the coin entered with such momentum that before he could stop it it had passed down into the aesophagus, where it stuck. He was taken, in great agony, to a hospital, where surgeons succeeded in removing the dollar.

This will make up for what the deacon lost the last time his brother melded doubled pinochle, but didn’t soothe his feelings, as he must pay about >3O in court costs. Both men are prominent in Hackensack and both are still deacons in the church. MAKE HER HATS SUIT FEET London Modiste Tells How to Buy Headgear for Best Effect—Proper Line Needed. London. —“Watch your feet while buying your hat’ This is the advice now given to women, who generally when choosing a hat are content to see the effect to a mirror that reflects merely the heed and shoulders. ‘•Women should not buy a hat merely because it Is pretty or smart and becoming to the face,” a west end modlate said. “It may be all that is charming from that point of view, and yet quite out of harmony with a woman’s general outline. "When choosing hats one should try them on facing a long mirror that re« fleets the figure from top to toe. "The very tall woman may fancy herself- in a very tall hat when she sees the effect In a looking glass showing only the top part of her body, but she will not buy the too tall hat when she views the fact that from toe to the top of her headgear she has the appearance of a long post If she be thin, or clumsily big if she be heavily built. “In these days of colored footwear and narrow dresses, it is most necessary tp keep the proper line in making a toilette. Color In a hat must harmonize with the shoes and stockings. “As for the tight dresses, many little women who have not thought of their appearance from the waist downward with regard to their hats have recently, with their narrow skirts and wide hats, presented the appeaMMS of mushrooms.” z

CAP and BLLLS TAKING THE HOPEFUL VIEW Jury In Case of Man Charged With -Stealing Ham Find Him Guilty Despite Brilliant Plea. The prisoner’s lawyer was addressing the jury. “Gentlemen,” he said, “the attorney for the prosecution refers to my client as a “double dyed villain. That’s what he is, gentlemen, and that’s all he is! He is only a villain by reason of the dye—the double-dye. if you please—with which the infamously false testimony in this care has colored him! And those dyes are not fast colors; they will come out in the wash. I confidently look to your verdict, gentlemen of tho jury, to remove those spurious stains from the character of a cruelly and unjustly persecuted man and reveal him as he really is, an upright, honest citizen, white as the driven snow!” Thereupon the 12 jurors, good men and true, without leaving their seats, unanimously found the defendant guilty of stealing the ham. » In the Far West. What is the cause of such uproarious mirth?” demanded the new arrival in the western town. “Lot of motorists have arrived on a tour,” explained Anrt>er Pete, “an’ the cowboys are laughing at their funnylooking bearskin coats.” “And what are the motorists laughing at?” “Oh, they are laughing at the cowboys’ b’arskin trousers.” Sorry He Asked. “Have you any special terms for automobilists?” asked the man in bearskin and goggles. “Wai, yes,” responded the old tollgate keeper, whose gate had been broken down by speeding machines. “Sometimes I call them dead beats an* sometimes- I call them blamed rascals.

I got a big cat that son made mincemeat of his chickens.” “What then?” “Why, the next I knew he had bought a ferocious bulldog to watch for my cat” “H’m! And did that end the trouble?” “Oh, no! I borrowed a wolf from an animal trainer to kill the bulldog.” “Gracious me! What was the next chapter in the bitter feud?” “There was none.

SOURCE OF ZULU JAVELIN Many African Tribes Have Attained Enough Skill In Smelting Metals to Make the Asaagale. The railing charge about idols tor the heathen being manufactured in Birmingham, England, has become an article of common faith, yet on the most scanty evidence. In the earlier years of the last century the same charge was laid at the Puritan doors of New England, for it was commonly said of ships sailing out of Salem and Boston for the coast of Africa that they were freighted with missionaries and hymn books in the cuddy, brass idols and New England rum under hatches in the ’tweendecks. There is no reason to suspect a foreign source for the Zulu javelins. Many of the African tribes have attained to the art of smelting several «f the metals; the Amazulu, a race of no Inconsiderable culture, have progressed so far in the iron age that they have invented the softer grades of steel. The steel tips of these weapons are not considered imitative of the leaf but of the obsidian tips which are frequently used by warriors of the same age. The name is preferably spelled assagai as in better conformity with the etymology. It is an African name, but not Zulu nor of any language in South Africa. It was introduced by the Portuguese discoverers, who had already borrowed it from the Berbers of Morocco or more likely from the Moors during their domination of the Iberian peninsula. Ia the Berber it is al-zaghayah or without the article zaghayah and means spear. In the chlvalric period it existed in English in the composite lancegay or launce-de-gay. NAVAL TIP FOR SEAGOERS Lemon and Ginger Should Be Given to Those Not Sure of Themselves on Shipboard. A surgeon on the naval hospital ship Solace has a remedy for seasickness which should be of Interest to folks who are going on winter cruises and are apprehensive that they may have to stay below deck most of the time. It is simply a decoction of lemon and ginger, and may be taken in the form of lemon soda and ginger ale, or a dash of seltzer may be added to a little lemon juice and Jamaica ginger. The doctor’s idea is that the lemon causes a greater secretion of the gastric juices and that the ginger serves as a stimulant, the need of which can be best appreciated by the victim. The remedy has been used on the Solace with various degrees of success, and it is not pretended that it will prove effective for everybody. It should be taken in small-doses as soon as trouble seems to be approaching, although it may be of somekjise at a well-advanced stage. Uninviting as the beverage may seem, it can be made after a little experimenting so that it is very agreeable. The lemon juice and ginger is not as palatable as the soda, but has been found to give better results. Usually It is best to make it with more ginger than lemon and with just enough carbonic water to make it drinkable. Players of Cards. If a tailor be the ninth part of a man, it muct be a consolation to the card-player to be at least a fourth. If, Indeed, he be “dummy” he need not be a tailor’s dummy. The whole range bC human emotions is his. The triumphant holder of four trumps, the massacred and innocent victim of a “grand slam,” the irritable and irrecanqilable whiner whose trick has been ioubly won by a sleepy partner, are subjects for caricaturist and tragedian alike. For in a game of cards one has the mirror and measure of a man. A Hogarth might sharpen his pencil or a Lamb write a whole series of essays upon the card-player. The benevolent old gentleman, with gold-rlmmed spectacles; the studious old maid whose mind carries the procession of cards like a human kaleidoscope; the dreamer who is thinking of some suit more romantic than the four cardinal pointe of the card-player’s compass; hopeless and abject beginner—all move in the pasteboard circle.
