UlNFRIENDLY POLAR BEARS.

The two new polar bears at the
Philadelphia 200" occupy the same
cage, and they look enough alike to be
twins. But there is no brOtherly love
between them. They would fight con-
tinually were it not for the fact that
it takes two to fight, and, while there
are two of them, one won't fight if
there is any possible way out Of it.
The cOWardly fellow must live life OF

at the bars and thrown peanuts in to
the captives, and, though polar bears
are known to be partial to peanuts,
the coward never gets any. He sits in
the back Of the pen, with a look that
seems to say, "pd rather be a live
polar bear without peanuts than a
dead one with peanuts"

One of the reasons why an unusu-
ally large attendance is expected, Is
that the Sons Of Veterans hold their
annual encampment at Knoxville,
Tenn, September 1918, and a few
days later the Chickamauga park will
be formally opened by the govern
ment. This enables the veterans to
take in all three festivities, and forms
a triple inducement for the trip.
It is a difficult matter to predict who
will be the next commander-in-chief.
Col. /. n. Walker, of Indiana, is max
ing a strong canvass and may be
elected. He has a good war record,
having raised a company of the sew

Of the war. He earned rapid promo
ton. taking part in many Of the great

4 NEW COMPASS.

The invention by a New York cleo
trician is noted of compass which he
claims will prevent collisions at sea.
The compass is about three inches
high and two and oneLhals inches in
diameter. Under the face of the COM
pass is a vessel containing a chemical
solution whose nature is not disclosed.
When another vessel enters the mag
netic field, perhaps six miles in extent,
Of the ship carrying the compass the
needle Of the compass is detected in
the direction of the approaching ship,
and in turning, it passes over a metal
strip on the face of the compass, clos
ing electrical connection with alarms
in other parts of the vessel.

SHARP TRADERS IN ARMENIA

the ArmenianS are the only race who
are sharper than the Jews in a trade.
Here is an old saying that is current
there: If you bring twelve men to-
gether, one of them an Armenian and
all the rest Jews, the Armenian will
have all the money Of the eleven Jews
in his wallet before he parts from
them, and not one of the Jews will
have Il plaster in his pouch
