RARE EFFIGY MOUND

mounds is nearly ESQ feet in length.
All are about feet high and some 13
feet wide.
The greatest interest is perhaps
aroused by the efhgies, OF which there
are nine in the group. Three of these
represent birds, FIVE are bear efigies.
and one is of the panther type. The
two last named types are rather com

Of the birds are of the common,
straight. winged kind.
But the other bird is of the accom-
panying cut the form suggests a
goose in flight. This efigy lies near
near the crest of the ridge at a point
about 15 rode northwest of the old
arm. The wing spread is 200 feet and
he length of body, neck and head Is
,98 feet. All parts are veil formed
With outlines still fully. preserved.
The body is about feet in height.
This is a noble specimen.
A. B. Stout, an enthusiastic archao-
Jlogist, thinks 1t doubtful IL there ex-
,sts an effigy of this type in better
tate Of preservation and at the same
time in location more suitable for
permanent preservation. 1t lies close
to pleasure driveway and might be
made an object Of rare popular inter
est Mr.. Stout's idea is that tract
| large enough to include the mound
should be secured and made a part
OF the park system. An acre OF ground
would be enough to embrace the
effigy, but a little more would be
needed to unite this reservation to
the drive.
Mr.. Stout firmly believes that in
the vicinity of this group there is @
village site still indicated by flint
chips, broken pottery and other re
mains of Indian life.-Madison Demo

heWs PAPERS OF OUR NAVY.
Many of the Battleships Have Their
Own Plant.

Many of the BattIeshlps Have Their
Own Plant.
Several of the big ships in the Unit
ed States navy have their own news.
papers. On board the Kentucky is
printed the Kentucky Budget, semi
monthly. The U. s. S. Louisiana is
responsible for the Pelican, which is
issued monthly. The battleship Ohio
has the Buckeye. The U. g. s. West
Virginia boasts of the Dirty Box The
Badger is printed monthly on the U.
s. S. Wisconsin.
All of the above papers are issued
by the enlisted men of the ships. The
aim of each is identical-to make life
aboard the ship more agreeable and
to give the friends in civil life an
outline of naval doings and of the
brighter side of naval life.
The Americans are newspaper
reading nation. Barred from his local
papers by the refusal of the 1vern-
ment to allow free postage on papers
addressed to the navy, Jack promptly
solaces himself by starting a news
paper of his own on board ship. The
men have freedom of criticism in
the little monthly papers that would
lead one to think that military disci-
pine Is not all blood and iron. Many
SLY digs are rammed home at unpop-
ular officers and more frequent are
the bouquets for those occupants of
the wardroom who are popular with
the crew.
No mention of the papers OF the

circulation of about ten thousand and

whole trend of the editorial policy of
the Blue-Jacket is in accord with its
motto; THE highest standard of man

can tell a case of rabies with consid-

of dhyrophobia, the furious form and
the dumb, or paralytic, form. The
second form is the more common and
at the same time the less dangerous.
Dogs suffering from this second form
are not likely to run far before the
lower jaw becomes paralyzed, thus
making it impossible for them to-
bite and rendering them practically

when this comes in contact with an

the adoption of universal sizes, not
alone for the new demountable rims,
but for the regular clincher type.
Another adoption, and one that was
sorely needed by the American indus
try, was a standard formula for horse
power rating. 1t was apparent that
the time was opportune when every
owner OF an automobile should be able
to figure out his own horse power if
he kneT the cylinder capacity. The
great advantage afforded by uniform
horse power rating is the general In
formation which it gives to the buyer
Of a car.
1t is not fair to the public that a
car with twice the cylinder capacity
should be rated at the same horse
power as the car OF which the rating
is honest according to the size OF the
motor.
1t does not want to be understood
that Standardization means a sameness
Of appearance or efficiency of a car.
That In the near future many of the
vital parts of one car will be inter
changeable with those of another is
assured. This means that the cost of

of the parts can be purchased in the
