chlldish Mind, Cropping In Darkness,
ls Craving for information That
ls Denied II.

Every trace Of useful information
is carefully concealed from the very
young child. A rattle, or at most q
rubber doll, is its only plaything. Aa
It grows older 1t is very slowly and
gradually introduced to the various
forms of the animal kingdom. OF the
mysteries of numbers and Of lam
guages 1t has as yet no conception.
It's constant questions are for the
most part answered "humorously"
and hence incorrectly, or they are not
answered at all. This eternal "hu.
NOR" is most CALLING of all Why
should human infant be such an ir-
resistible joke? The lower animals
take their young seriously and train
them from the start with very def.
mite purpose in view. Yet their pos
sibilities are infinitesimal as com,
pared with those Of the average baby.
And we sit calmly by and enjoy the
"humor" of childhood and insist that
the child is enjoying itself also, even
though Its little soul may be tkirsting
for information which Is laughingly
denied 1t. And We continue to put
off the inevitable day when the child
will have to take life seriously and
hence, according to our tradition,
sadly.
One important point which is quite
overlooked by the upholders of the
brainless child is the fact that nom
sense and Stiffness are just as taxing
to the infant mind as useful informa-
tion would be. 1t requires no more
mental effort to realize that A is A
than to grasp the extraordinary fact
that mass of brownish softness is
a fuzzy title Teddy bear, yes 1t is."
In fact, the letter A has a distinct ad-
vantage. And at more advanced
age it is certainly less puzzling to be
told that five and FIVE make ten than
to have ones own respectable pink
toes described as series of pigs CO.

rious other activities of life.-Sig-

RomhIa Deadly Work.

Paris is truly a city of tragedies.
At a quarter past eight the other
morning there was terrific bomb ex-
plosion on the Place de Montrouge.
Policemen rushed up, and found a
young man of eighteen, Alfred Hervo,
shrieking with pain, and rolling in
agony on the ground. His face and
hands were covered with blood and
his clothes were burning. Two police
men put the fire out, put Hervo In a
cab, and took him to the nearest hos
pital. The other policemen found the
bomb. 1t had been made Of two metal
soap boxes tied together, and filed
with powder and nails. HerYo declared
that he knew nothing about the bomb.
He was on his way to his work, saw
the thing lying on the pavement, and
kicked 1t of into the gutter 1t broke
open. and wondering what the black
stuff in it was, Hervo lit match and
bent down to find out. An explosion

NEW RACE NEAR THE POLE
Explorers Steffansson and Anderson
Find Men With Red Boards in
Victoria Land.

Tidings OF a hitherto unknown race
hae been received in dispatches from
Gtefansson and Anderson, who are
conducting an expedition in the fan
north
The strange race was located in
Victoria Land, north of Cape Bexley.
One theory of their origin is that
they may be descendants Of an an
cient lcelandic colony from Green
land. OF unusual interest is the fact
that the natives bear names that can
be translated into English, suggesting
that survivors of the Franklin expedi
tion may have lived among them.
They have some Scandinavian char
acteristics and are different from any
other American aborigines. Two OF
them wore boards of reddish color
and all had light eyebrows. Nothing
learned from them indicated that the
race as 1t exists today had ever seen
a white man.
The courier who first went forward
to parley with them almost lost his
life, when a native attacked him with
a knife. Friendly advances were final.
ly successful, and by means of the
sign language and the assistance Of
native guides communication was held.
The race was an aboriginal one
called A-ku-li-a-kat-tag-mi-ut. 1t had
been believed that the territory wye
uninhabited.

STATE DECLARES
WAR ON CARP FISH
THOUSANDS OF BASS TO BE
PUT IN STREAMS AND LAKES
OF IDAHO.

Battles royal will be going on
hereafter in every carp-infested
lake and stream in the State when
the game department introduces
thousands of bass to exterminate
the pests.
Ben R. Gray, State Game Warden
has been trying to determine whsch
of several methods would be the
better one for the determination of
the carp that are filling the lakes
and streams of the State and max
ing them unfit for many other kind
of fish. He believes that it is sim
ply a waste of money and time to
put trout into these streams be-
cause the carp destroy so many of
the weaker fish every year.
Upon the report Of some of the
government experts who have been
at work in conjunction with the
State department, on the lakes and
streams of the State, he will in
troGuce several thousand bass as
soon as possible. The bass seem to
have a much better batting average
and quite large sized fielding per-
centage when they are lined up "a
gainst the carp of any of the Idaho
streams. The government experts
and State game warden believe that
the bass will be the solution of the
problem.
II was first thought that the
State would have to seine the carp
out of the streams which would
AXE large amount of time and
work. The waters of the lakes
where these bass are to be in
reduced have been studied from
/ chemical and general scientific |
standpoint and are found to be full

mount is daily being consumed by
he worthless carp.
