The ambulance chaser is no new fig

several cases business men watching
the destruction of their places have
been known to agree with the chaser

The enterprise is still In It's infancy
and capable of developments, yet un-
suspected, but 1t Is gaining adherents
every day, and one firm has already
decided to adopt these profitable tao

Cncle's Narrow Escape.

Many amusing sto les are told OF our
colored fellow citizens of the South by
the story tellers OF that section A
venerable "darky" was hailed before a
Justice OF the peace and charged with
gratifying his appetite for feathered
denizens Of the barnyard in which he
had no ownership. There were no wit
nesses to the act, but the birds were
missing and feathers had been found
around Uncle Georges cabin. He was
sharply tnterrogated by the magistrate

Herring Paw ments.

One would hardly think that red
herrings. or any other sort OF herrings.
mixed with oil OF pine, would make
good street paving; yet that Is what
the smooth asphalt surfaces are made
of, according to the opinion OF scien-
tific gentlemen who are always delving
into the origin of things. These sci
entific gentlemen have reached this
apparently strange conclusion after
some very interesting experiments
They have made an artificial asphalt
that closely resembles the natural
substance. and used In its production
only fresh herrings and oily pine
wood. These substances were dis
titled. the product was condensed In
a Liebig condenser, and resulted IN
asphalt. 1t Is claimed that this ex-
pertinent confirmed the theory that
asphalt is the product OF natural dis
tillation. by which ancient animal
and vegetable matter have been trans
formed into asphalt under the crust
of the earth.

VALUABLE CANADIAN CATTLE.

Thoroughly In-and-in- Bred stock
From Brittany and Normandy.
Since the entry of French-Canadian
cattle in the dairy tests at the Pan
American exposition at Buffalo, many
inquiries have been made about the
breed. Many people thought that
Canada had what might be called a
native breed. like the so-called ma
tives OF the United States. made up
by crossing the progeny Of early i'm
portations until it would be difficult
to tell what blood predominates. The
French settlers who first came to
Canada were natives Of Brittany and
Normandy. France. The first cattle
In Quebec, In 1920 or thereabouts,
were brought. no doubt, from those
two districts. anc they have been kept
nearly distinct for over $50 years, and
in-and-in breeding has been resorted
to to M In sure manner the charac-
teristics OF the breed Thus they have
much OF the appearance OF the Brit
tany cattle of the day. 1t may be
noted here that the French Canadian,
the Jersey, Guernsey, Kerry and Brit
tany cows are all supposed to come
from the same origin, and the Brit
tany Is usually allowed to be the
older stock, the different breeds be-

Mans Antiquity.

Prof. Matthew Flinders Petrie, the
famous antiquarian OF London, thus
sums up the latest evidence Of the an
tiquity of the human race: "Antiqua-
rians now have to deal with Egypt
alone. There Is an uubroken chain OF
historic record from 5000 B. c., be-
sides actual objects, which carry his
tory back 1000 years further, thus CIV
ing 5000 years to human history; but
this is yet far from the beginning.
Other lands might show the age OF
man to be more remote by physical
evidences. but nowhere could we feel
more plainly the certainty of the an
tiquity of man than where 5000 years
continuous remains did not yet bring
us into the vast periods of those cli-
matte and geological changes through
which man had kept up the chain OF
life to the present day"

Half-Farss In Switzerland.

Hereafter there will be no possibil-
ity of passing of S-year-old children
g under 5 years OF age In Switzerland.
The railway authorities have decided
that the sin Of 1bbing about a child's
age to escape paying its car fare must
be met In some other way than by
means OF moral ins ructions. The rail-
way men claim that the loss of chill
dren's fares ON the railroads every
year reaches an enormous amount. and
in order to avoid the chances Of any
dispute as to the age Of the child the
rule has been laid down that in case
OF doubt the child must be measured.

under two feet in height are to be al

tween two and four feet In height Pay

Using Oil Saves Forests.

Oil as fuel is coming into use In
California as means Of saving the
forests. The drain on the forests for
fuel in recent years has been alarming.
Wherever coal was not available cord
wood was the fuel and this was par
ticularly the case with all the interior
industries in parts of the state at a
distance from seaports and other
sources of coal supply For these, as
we'll as for domestic uses. oil has been
found to be good fuel and more eco
nomical. In the southern part of the
state it is already employed and par
ticularly in smelling ores. The smelt-
ing establishments of Shasta county
alone have been using up something
like $4,000 cords Of wood a year The
number amid size of these establish
ments have been increasing annually,
and the tremendous drain on the for
ests may be imagined. There is a
feeling that now the discovery and ap-
plication OF oil may save the forests.
