How Japs PLAY Ken,

In its most widely practiced form the
basis of the Japanese game of ken Is
that the fully outstretched hand sig
mites paper. the fully closed hand
stone. and two fingers alone extended.
the rest being closed scissors. Each
Of the players. counting one. two.
three. throws out his hand at the mo-
ment of rronouncing three. and the
one whose manual symbol Is superior
TO that of the others. according to the
theory of the game. wins the trial.
Superiority Is determined on the by.
pOthesis that whereas scissors can.
not cut stone they can cut paper and
whereas paper Is cut by scissors 1t can
wrap up stone-conseQuently scis-
sors are inferior to stone, but conquer
paper; stone Is inferior to paper. but
conquers scissors. and paper Is Inferior
to scissors. but conquers stone. There
are innumerable varieties Of the game.

= COUNTING BY TENS.

And q Suggestion as to Why We Buy
Things by the Dozen.
Did II ever occur to you as strange
that while we count by tens we buy
so many articles by the dozen? II we
ask the price of apples. oranges. oys-
tiers, eggs. collars, handkerchiefs and
many other things we will be told SO
many cents or dollars dozen, or II
large quantities are wanted so much
q gross, which means a dozen dozen.
How do you suppose this has come
about? It was this way: Nearly all
savage people count by their fingers
that Is, If they want to tell you they
have seen two wild beasts they will
hold up two fingers, and If ten they
will hold up both hands, and II twenty
both hands twice, and so on. Babies
also learn to count by their fingers
and toes. and to many people 1t seems
as If that were the only possible way.
1t Is, however. rather clumsy way.
as you find out when you try to divide
ten. Say, for example, you have ten
apples. You can only make an equal
division among two or FIVE persons,
while II you have twelve you can give
an equal number to two. three. four
or six. We find the same inconven
fence In dividing dollar and often
have to pay Is cents for what should
properly cost l21a cents.
II we had been born with two. four
six or eight fingers. or toes. like some
animals. 1t is possible that we should
have counted differently. but 1t does
not now seem likely there will ever be
any change In the ten or decimal sys-
tenn. as 1t Is called. especially since
the Arabic numerals now used nearly
everywhere are based on this system.

SINGS ITS DEATH SONG.
A Peculiar Bird Found In the JungIes
of South America.

A Peculiar Bird Found In the JunsIes
of South America.
There is q queer bird In the jungles
Of northern South America which Is
called the paul" by the natives. buo
Is known to science as the galeated
curasson. 1t Is chiefly remarkable be-
cause 1t sings its own death song.
1t does not really sing, but makes
deep humming noise which SOUNDS
very much like the Spanish words lei
muerto esta aqui' the corpse lies here,.
At is while uttering this lugubrious
chant" said a South American travel
err. that the paul. usually meets Its
death. for the hunter can then easily
track 1t to It's retreat. and 1t fails
victim, as the Indians say. to Its own
death song"
II the paul. gets suspicious 1t I'M
mediately ceases humming. and that Is
a sure indication to the hunter that
the bird has seen him or scents dam
ger. In such case the only thing for
the sportsman to do Is to remain per-
fectly still. The bird may become re-
assured after waiting awhile and again
begin to call, 1.-THE corpse lies here" 1t
can then be cautiously approached and
killed.
II 1t Is only wounded the paul. usu-
ally escapes. though 1t cannot fly much
better than the ordinary domestic
fowl. 1t is very feet Of foot and Will
Outrun the hunter until 1t is lost In the
dense underground Of the jungle.
In the mating season the male paul.
IS the most pugnacious of birds and
will fight its own kind whenever 1t
meets them. Often the fight ends In
the humiliation Of both combatants.

A Gun Clubs Treasure.

Thirteen million cartridge shells. the
result of eleven years Of shooting by
the members of Il gun club. have been
gathered into huge pile by one Of the
leading sporting organizations Of Eng

members conceived the idea Of having
the members save all their shells <kad
deposit them on the pile. The shell
bank Is now the clubs most priced

shoot one cartridge second day and
night IL would take him about twenty
five years to discharge l3.0OU.O00.~ The
club maintains a vigilant guard over
its precious shell pile.

Il envy the professional conquest
Of space" he said. II had the op-

wanted to make my first flight in
an American machine, with an
American aviator at the wheel"

CARR'S PLANS
NEW BUILDING

The question of whether Carr's
department store would occupy the
other buildings in their block just
as they are or whether they in
tended to build on the sites which
they have leased, was answered
this morning by the managr, who
stated that ultimately the company
intended to build on the sites
leased, which cover the whole block
on Riverside except the building on
the corner of Lincoln across from
the postoffice. The present leases
on the buildings do not expire for
over a year, and it is not the inten-
ton to build at once. Three or four
years will probably elapse before
the new building is started, but ulti-
mately a new, modern block will be
erected.

somewhat treasured, however,
when the family physician arrived
