I THINK CRABS CAUSED 'QUAkE

Very curious were some of the ex-
plantations given by Cinnamon of the
recent earthquakes which have been
felt at Hongkong, Canton and Macao.
The Hongkong Daily Press tells about
them: .'The famous dragon whose
privilege it has been to give an oc-
casional shock to the earth's crust is
not held responsible for the recent
scare in Macao and elsewhere. Some
Chinese attribute the last shocks to
the water-dragon of Canton, whose
anger has been raised by the reclama-
ton works. Coolies are dumping daily
boatloads of sand and stone on the
poor dragons back, and the beast nat
urally feels hurt.
1T appears, however, that the real
causes of the earthquakes were the
Macao crabs! Here is the story:

HONOR RESERVED FOR "MU,sHER

There is a popular belief in the ex-
IRENE northwest that the north pole
will be discovered by a musher, and
not by any scientific polar expedition.
This belief is based on the conviction
that gold stampede will eventually
be started toward north latitude 80
degrees, and that mushers will rush in
where arctic explorers have feared to
tread. So completely unknown to
fame is this newcomer in the race for
the pole that to the majority of people
the name suggests nothing but cereal
