DEMkRA SEEKS
 LIVE MOOSE
Fairbanks Marathon Racer Trying to Run Down Animal and
 Capture 1t Alive

Nick Demara, the Greek run ncr, has evidently become de- mrnted or is recklcssly following out an impctuous impulse, ac- cOrding to friends of his who have just arrived in town. Nick is moose hunting, to be exact. He has an idea that if he can catch a live moose, there will be a for tune in store for him. This for tune will be forthcoming, to his mind, in the form of moving pie ture royalties. The moose has not yet been caught.
 For several weeks, il is said, Nick has been camped at his cab in five miles below the mouth of Vault creek in the Chatanika flats. He is reported to have seen d moose upon his rambling travels, on one occasion. He had d gun with him, but upon seeing the moose, the first wild on" in his life, he dropped the firrarm and started after the animal on the run.
 Nick is a good runner, having, among other triDkrtS in, his pos session, several lfc-SiZcd med .alS won on local tracks. But, tO continue the story, the moose could also run. II had nu med alS whatever, but still could run. The result was, as the report reads, thai Dcmara became wind ed after about 20 miles out on the trail, and gave up the chase. At another time he lost his way, and strayed around for several days before he heard the whistles of [ he mining camps and was able to gain his bearings.
 The miners and hunters in the neighbOrhOOd are not very sym pathetic with Nick's endeavor, and sometimes they even sheer at him, belittling his running deeds, and apparently are certain that he will never succeed in his efforts to run down the numbering moose. Nick does not like that, and his irc is aroused. He will get q moose alive or never return to town, he has resolved.
 Many times Nick has gone out on the snOw-cOvnred trails and paths and waited for moose. AL times he has tracked them for miles, but always the husky ani- mals keep their distance. Nick's friends declare that he is dcspcr- ate now.
 Christ George, u fellow Greek, now in the city, claims to have loaned Nick 200 feet of wire cable. Nick's announced intentions arc to set huge anarcs for the deni- hcns of the wild and secure them without injury, after all. To inc present time, Nick has not sccur- ed his moose. The men who arc claimed to have seen Nick in his new task arc said to include Char les Spann, "Old Man" Scotty and MT. Collins. .--Fairbanks Times.

VENUS De MILO LOST
HER ARMS IN FIGHT
Secret Over Which World
Has Puzzled for Years Re-
vealed by Savant.
'ecial Cable to The Tribune.

Special Cable to The Tribune
PARIS, Dec. 7.-Everybody who has
looked Mt the beautiful statue of the
Venus de Milo in the Louvre has asked
himself why this figure of the ideal
woman has no arms, but no true eX-
PLANTATION has been found until now,
when NJ. Jean Alcard tells us the rea-
son why. AS Alcard Is a member Of the
inmortals OF the academy, nobody will
doubt that his explanation Is right.
Many have been the theories on the
subject. Some have supposed that the
goddess lacks arms because tho sculptor,
twenty centuries ago, feared to complete
his work. How could he make these
members beautiful enough Again. 9TH
ers have assumed that she held a lance
In her hand. as Venus Victorious" or
repel!ed a lover. who formed originally
part OF u group with her.
Now, In Il recent article, M. Aicard
dlsposes OF these hypothesis. Venus had
arms as lovely as her body With her
right hand she held UP her drapcries,
In her LETT was an apple.
Venus was discovered in 1920 by a
peasant. who was digging his ground
In the Island OF Milo. She was In a sort
value OF the marble the peasant carried
away tho top part to his hut. There It
seen later by French ensign. The
white marble, pure as lily. stood out
In all It's exquisite perfection from tho
foul smelling. smoky hut. barely lighted
by tiny window.
Informed OF the pure beauty OF the
statue Marquis dc REVERE, French en-
bassador at Constantinople. sent his first
secretary 10 obtain It, The envoy ar
rived almost too late The priceless mar
bic was being dragged along by party
OF Greek and Turkish sailors to an Otto
man brig.
The French diplomat landed from the
schooner in which he had arrived and
captured the treasure after n fight But
II was roughly handled by the sailors In
getting II aboard and the arms were
broken. Portions lay upon the beach
OF Milo and were never recovered This
Is why Venus is armicss In her final
resting place in the Louvre.
This version has not been published
until today for fear Of diplomatic COM
plications, But both Turks and Greeks
have other things 10 think OF than the
arms OF Venus. When the French secre-
tary arrived ut Milo the lower part OF
the statue was already on board the OF
toman brig and II required threats and a
gift OF money TO transfer II 10 the
schooner month later the complete
goddess (save the arns) WAS carried
ashore at Marseilles en- route for Paris.
