TOOK HIS OWN PHOTOGRAPH
Hunter Got Good Snapshot of Lion In Jungle.

Penetrating the wilds of British East Africa with camera and cine. matograph, Mir. Cherry Kearton, the skilled nature photographer" has brought back to England some amaz. ing pictures of strange beasts. Mir. Kearton had one great disappoint ment The lion eluded him so far as the cinematograph was concerned. For week on end, night and day, the pho tographer fixed his apparatus in a tree and waited for a lion. But he found the lions extraordinarily wary The nearest he ever got to one with the cinematograph camera in daylight was 150 yards. Then the lion, not the photographer, bolted. At this dis tance the lion appeared so small upon the photographic films that the pic ture was useless.
 But Mir Kearton had his revenge He left camera shielded in leather case near the lion drinking pool Above it, in tree, was fiashlight apparatus. From this a thread passed across the path the lion was knowr to tread. In the middle of the nighl down came the lion to drink. He broke the thread. ignited the magne sium, and took an instantaneous pho tograph of himself before the brilliant flash sent him crashing away in alarn through the forest.

The famous Appian Way was con. structed by digging two parallel trenches. three feet in depth, at the bottom of which were placed two lay. CTS of fiat stone in mortar. upon which . layer of cobblestones was placed. also laid in mortar; then came a course of pebbles in concrete. over which were placed large. fat blocks of smooth lava well Joined together forming an even. uniform surface.

NO NEED FOR AN ARCHITECT
But for Demuonn School Board Might Have Found Out Earlier
 What Was Wanted.

Mayor Edward Schwabenland of Riverside. N. J., and Henry Tesnow, one of the most popular residents of that thriving little borough. were talk Ing the other day on queer sayings and doings, when Eddie told of mo ton that had once been made in a tchool board of which he was a mem Der.
 The needs of the town, Eddie said, demanded that a new schoolhouse should be erected, and after the board bad discussed the question to a con siderable length one of the members arose to his feet.
 T move. Mir. President" said he, inn pressively. that we build new schooihouse on the site of the old one; that We use the material in the old one for the new one, and that we don't tear down the old one until the new one is built"
 Well. what did they do about it7'' smilingly Queried Mir. Tesnow.
 They were little bit slow com Ing around" replied Eddie. but just fs soon as they got their breath to working again they sent for an archi. iect to figure out how the thing could be done"
 Did he find the answer?" asked Mir. Tesnow.
 No, was the chuckling rejoinder o. the mayor. He worked on it un. ul the demijohn was empty, and then ho the school board that what they
 ted was sleight-of-hand profes

APPEALS BANK CASE
KANSAS ATTORNEY GENERAL TAKES JUDGE PoLLock's DE-
 clsIoN TO HIGHER COURT.
CLAIMS LACK OF JURISDICTION
United States Court of Appeals to Re- view Action of Federal Judge in En- joining State Officers From lnforc- Ing Guaranty Law.

Kansas City, Kan, Jan. 21.-Alleg- ing that the United State circuit court had no jurisdiction, and that manifest error was committed by Judge Pollock in granting a temporary injunction preventing the state bank commission CT from enforcing the provisions of the Kansas bank guaranty law, Fred s. Jackson, attorney general of Kan sas, filed an appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals in the Kansas bank deposit guaranty case. Judge Pollock granted the appeal The decision rendered by Judge Pol lock from which the appeal is to be taken, was in the suit brought by the Abilene National bank and others. The granting of the temporary injunction December 23 last was virtual declaration on the part of the court that the law is unconstitutional.
 In his bill presented to the court, however, the attorney general and his associate counsel, George H. Brink man and A. c. Mitchell, set up a differ. ent statement of contention. In the assignment of error these contentious, among many others, are made:
 That the court erred in granting a temporary injunction and in sustaining the application, when such application should have been refused. That the court had no jurisdiction of the de- fendants, J. N. Dolley state bank com missioner, and Mark Pulley, state treasurer That the bill did not present controversy under the laws of the United States in which the complain. ants (the national banks) had suf. ticient ground to entitle them to relief. The attorney general further asserts that no statement of fact was con tained in the bill to show that any rights were asserted by the complain ant national banks under the authority of the law of the United States and the amount involved was not sufficient to confer jurisdiction on the United States court. That the bill did not show that the complainants were pre- cluded from accepting the terms and conditions of the Kansas guaranty law, and that there is nothing to show that there was any discrimination against the national banks.
 There was no claim, the attorney general contends, that the intent and purpose of the guaranty law was to destroy the business of the national | banks.

courtshlp Class for Jap Girls.

Japan has killed the last doubt as to it's modern progress by the organi- zation of "class of courtship" for girls in each of the secondary schools. The Japanese maidens are taught that If they should be so unfortunate as to fall in love before becoming en- gagged they must conceal the fact. Above all they must remember that women never propose. Another thing, they are warned that well-bred girls do not exchange photographs with their admirers. In Japan until now there has not been any trouble about courting, and this is the first evidence that the Japanese maidens need in- struction in affairs of the heart. Classes to the contrary, however, the point is maintained that there Is not Juliet under the sun who does know the exact formula for dealing with a Romeo.

Women Good Harvest Hands.

Many hundreds of women assisted in gathering the harvest around Be. atrice, Neb. They wer0 lured to ths fields by the offer of board and s3 n day. A farmer went into Beatrice looking for farm hands. Loungers in the town refused to work, and the farmer had to face the possibility ol losing part of his crop. He went into restaurant. and when waiting to be served was struck with the Idea of bidding for the waitresses as harvest CTS. He offered them 8 day and every waitress threw aside her apron and went to the farm. They did such efficient work that others farmers sought women. and they drew school teachers. stenographers and college girls as well.-New York Press.
