The Hair.

A single hair, which can support
weight Of two punches, is so elastic
that 1t may be stretched to one-third Of
its entire length and then regain Its for
mer size and condition. Dr.. Pincus
has measured the growth Of hair by
cutting off circles about one inch In
diameter from the heads Of healthy
men and 80 comparing the growth Of
the patches with that OF the rest Of the
hair. he found that the growth rate
generally became slower after cutting;
that In some cases the hair on the
patches grew at the same rate as the
rest. but that 1T never grew any faster.
The ordinary length Of the hair on
the head ranges between twenty
inches and about forty-five inches, the
latter being considered unusually long

FISH SUPER TlTIoNs.
Queer Old Time Notions, Some Of
Which Still Survive.

Which Still Survive.
The one fish medicine of which mod
ern science thoroughly approves is cod
liver oil, and this, though in far less
nauseous form than formerly, is swal-
lowed in tons every year. .z,.s$$
In old days much wider use was
made of fish as cures for various evils,
and some of these practices have sur
vived to the present day. Some little
time ago boy died of epilepsy in a
north Wales parish. The doctor, called
in too late inquired If the deceased had
been given any medicine. ooh, yes,"
was the answer. Eve caught trout,
drowned it in new milk and gave it to
the boy" @
Eels are supposed to possess all kinds
Of virtues. In the dark ages Of medi-
cine powder made Of eels' liver was
considered an absolute specific for deaf
ness and was also employed in cases Of
ague or fever. A decoction of eels' fat
is still used by Dutch peasants as a
remedy for falling hair.
But the most valuable part Of the eel,
according to popular superstition, Is us
skin. Many an old farmer wears a
belt of eelskin as preventive against
rheumatism, and some believe that a
garter made Of the skin of this snake
like fish worn next to the human skin
as preventive not only against rheu-
| matism, but also against sprains or
similar injuries. .s- s.
Another cure for rheumatism, which
finds favor with salt water fishermen,
is red herring. The herring being the
most plentiful Of all the sea fish, q
number Of superstitions have attached
themselves to it. For luck through the
ensuing year one must be sure to eat
a herring on New Years day.
Fishermen believe that each shoal is
headed by king herring, which is
/ more than double as large as any of its
/ followers. They believe that when one
/ Of the "kings" comes up in the net it
should be thrown overheard; otherwise
the next days fishing will be failure.

give his strenuous sire some fatherly

But peruse Pringle: "On none Of my
trips have seen SO much game, and I

in numbers, it 10 increasing. Lions are
more numerous than when I came

we do not hear them near our cattle

Well, some. How would you like to
meet a full grown leopard cat not
house broke in forest somewhere
east of Suez when the cat had missed
it's breakfast and it was some hours
past dinner time? An African leopard

1t was almost child's play for Fir
Roosevelt to hunt bears in the Mis-
sissippi canebrakes.. There were 6
few flea bitten bruins Of small size
scooting around in the brakes, scared
half to death at sight or sound of hu
man and scampering for cover. Blu

Presents For Native Rulers.

Mr.. Roosevelt is In correspondence
with various persons who know some
thing at first hand about Africa and
the Africans, the climate, the kings,
the beasts and the ''boys." High au-
thorities remark that the president
shows wisdom In thus seeking advice,
for II he should plunge headlong into
the hunting country just anywhere the
chances Of his catching fever would
be. considerable. Feyers are more to be
feared than the natives. Nevertheless,
to conciliate the native rulers OF the
parts where the big game abounds, It
win be necessary for Mr.. Roosevelt to
take along many packages of presents.
1t is more than likely that when an
African king learns that his visitor has
been the big chief in his own land the
black host will confer unusual gifts
upon Mr.. Roosevelt, thus increasing
the expense of the expedition, because
courtesy will demand reciprocity.
Just now the Roosevelt mail at Oys-
ter Bay is bullying with letters from all
sorts Of persons who want to go along
| with the hunting party. Secretary
Loeb remarked the other day that the
president could have, If he wished, Q
| volunteer army of several thousand
with which to penetrate to the interior
and conquer the country. OF course
this is quite true, for the Roosevelt
African hunt Is going to belong to his
tory. But the rough riders and weary
walkers who would like to be In at the
killing Will be disappointed, for thu
president is known to be a man who
dislikes to have a mob around hin
when he wants to shoot game. Ever
i the photograph many of whom have
urged their claims, are being t1rne(
down. Kermit Roosevelt, who Is I
/ husky young man and an expert pho
tographer, has pre-empted the pictur

Mr.. Roosevelt's purpose, as announc
ed, is to kill specimens of each kind
Of big game In Africa. AS he is tc

seems no reason to doubt his ultimate
success. He proposes to back up what

The Rev. Theodore Wood, a well

makes an interesting observation on a
little beetle found frequently In the
flowers of the primrose, but nowhere
else, which is quite mystery. 1t Is
small, brown and fat, and Mr.. Wood

From Jungle Jingles, 1909"
TSHERE is one piece Of news that
will be news for at least score
of months. Then it will become
literature at So a word. Allu-
sion is made to the forthcoming plunge
of Theodore Roosevelt into the Iwilds OF
Africa to hunt big game.
I 1t is piece of news that already has
thrilled the world. Kings, courtiers
and commons are talking about it. At
fairs Of state have taken back seat.
They are dry as dust. This is interest
ing as raging cataract. 1t still thrills.
When, Immediately after becoming our
only living ex-president next March,
Mr.. Roosevelt departs for his dash into
the jungle for years absence, the
thrill will be such that many of us can
hardly wait until the huntsman's own
story is written by himself and pub.
lished broadcast to an avid earth. That
this story will be all Of the six best
thrillers amalgamated Is not to be dis.
puted.
For seven years Mr.. Roosevelt has
been held in check by the reins of Of

job, so that he has been unable to d.

What he pleases to do Is to make and
leave record as the worlds champion
hunter Of big game.
And that's why he's going to Africa.

Killer of Fierce Beasts. /
Mr.. Roosevelt has shot everything in
this. country worth shooting. An
American bear looks to him now no
bigger than q brush pile bunny. He
has been and seen and conquered the
growing grizzly, the screaming noun
tain lion and the mooing moose. Kings
and czars are the only big game left
in Europe, so it is necessary to cut
loose from civilized continents alto,
gether and puncture the prImeval.
Mr.. Roosevelt proposes to 60 to the
land where truly real lions roar, where
hippopotami hop. where leopards leap,
where elephants elevate their trunks
and where goriIlas gr-rowl.
This is live news because 1t is SO
unusual and because it Is announced
year beforehand. No president ever
did such thing as that after stepping
down and out. 1t Is big news because
Theodore Roosevelt Is the most cele-
brated man in the world today. For
nearly two terms he has occupied the

Kermit who will be twenty-one years
old then, are to plunge7 VIII the ex-
president be disappointed because the
game is not what 1t has been cracked

travel and trouble and expense that
there Is not another animal world to
conquer In Africa?
Well, that Is not likely.
