HUMAN
LEOPARD
SOCIETY
Organization in Africa Being
Pursued by the British
Authorities

F'reetown, Sierra Leone, West Ar
RIGA, Sept. g. The murderous native
organization of Sierra Leone, known
all up and down the west coast of AT
RIGA as the Human Leopard society, Is
being relentlessly pursued by the
British authorities to it's furthermost
hiding places. The determination is
to extirpate it, but the task will be
difficult, for this sinister and baneful
association has obtained such a
strong grip on the superstitions or
the natives in it's several hundred
years OF existence that il will fight
and die hard.
The society is Il secret organization.
1t has operated with particular atroc'
ity of recent years in the northern
Sherbro district. and most, If not all,
of the principal natives of this re-
gion belong to it.,
Between 90 and so murders have
been committed by members of the
society since 1907. The purpose UNI
doubtedly was to provide human
flesh for their fellow members, but
whether this was done merely for
the qualification Of the taste for can
nibalism, or whether the killings were
a part of some secret rite of the or
g%anization whereby the natives be-
lieve their mental and physical pow
ers are increased has not been con-
clusively learned. Matters reached
such a crisis a few months ago that
a special court was appointed and
many arrests were made. Among the
members placed on trial were sever
al paramount chiefs. Eventually, IN
der a special ordinance passed to sup
press the society, sever men were ex-
cuted for murdr, two condemned to
life imprisonment and eleven were
expelled from the Protectorate.
In a repoport on the society and its
recent atrocities the governor Of ST.
ezra Leone, Sir Edward M. Meriwetl-
er, expresses the opinion that, while
his drastic actions will tend to check
the activities Of the society, yet the
blind belief of the natives in the eff:
ticacy Of the medicines concocted by
the organization; the fact that peri
odical sacrifices are considered nee
essary to renew the power of the rem
edies, and a tendency. on the part Of
some of the natives to cannibalism
pure and simple, are causes likely to
contribute to the survival of the Or
ganization.

The Great White Shark.

The man eating fish par excellence Is
the great white shark. 1t is otherwise
known by the name of mar eater. o.
c%asionally specimens are seen on both
coasts of the United States, though its
more customary habitat is in tropical
waters. This frightful creature attains
a length OF nearly forty feet, and 1t Is
able to swallow a man whole. This
fact is proved by an experiment which
sailors are fond Of making when such
a shark is captured. The skull being

TO GIVE CROP
news BY Wire

Washington, Sept. TO give the
farmers Of the United States crop
news by telegraph is the latest in
novation of the department of
Agriculture, and it is a startling one
to the old timers, especially those
who were externally decrying book
Tarnin" as applied to farming.
So as to give the farmers all over
the land immediate news of detailed
crop conditions in their own states,
as reported by the government. the
department will inaugurate a test eX-
pertinent, about the middle Of this
month, with a new system of circu-
lating crop information by wire.
Heretofore this information has been
furnished in printed form and only
by mail, and, as. a3result, it took from
I to 10 days for this data to reach the
farmers in distant states through the
postoffices. s1S
The department will try this test
first in six states, Illinois, Missouri,
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and Texas.
This government crop news for each
Of these states will be telegraphed
to a central point in that state.
There the inform,tion will be quickly
reproduced and mailed to all the
newspapers in the state. In this way
every paper, not sincerely the large
dailies, but the county seat and small
town papers, eve in the most dis
tant states, should be in possession
Of this information within from 12
to Is hours after it is issued, As far
as possible the information will Ge
sent out sc as to reach the small
weeklies in time for use. in their
Thursday and Friday editions.
This new service has been effected
through a cooperative arrangement
between the bureau OF statistics and
the weather bureau officials. In each
state the weather bureau has a nan
provided with modern facilities which
will enable him to print and mail the
telegraphed facts to every newspaper
within a few hours: (a) a full list
of the crops; Cd, the average con,
dition Of each crop for 1O-year
periods in that particular state; Co
the condition of The state crops for
September 8. In Inc adjoining column
will be given the same data for the
United States, so that the farmers
who read these notices can compare
the crops in their state as of Septem-
Der 9th with the l0-year averages Of
their own state, and,int the same way
with the average conditio nthrough-
out the United States on. September
9th and for 10 years. I,
These data are to be supplied for
the reason that the condition of crops
actually within a state has more
effect on prices within that state than
the conditions for the country al
large.
The cost of this service, 1t is found.
will be only nominal. All that will
be necessary will be to telegraph the
figures for two columns. and this
can be done at a cost of not more
than Is cents for each state.
If the contemplated experiment is
a success and the newspapers Co
operate by publishing this. special SER
vice information, the plan will be
extended eventually to serve the
farmers Of all the states.

Sunshiny Weather.
In "Our Own Weather" Edwin G.
Martin. after noting the indications Of
weather shown by barometric read
ings. the variations Of the winds and
their meaning. the ever changing
forms of the clouds, shows how the
colors Of the sky act as weather signs:
Ordinary observation has gathered
a great number Of weather signs from
simply the ever varying colors Of the
sky. Among the more familiar and re-
liable ones are:
A bright blue sky is the sky Of fine
weather.
A bright yellow sky at sunset prom
Uses winds. a pale yellow sky rain
and a "sickly %greenish" sky both wind
and rain. A rosy sky at sunset prom
Uses fair weather. but a dark Ted sky
at sunset. promises rain. A red sky in
the morning promises wind or rain.
"A red sun has water in his eye"
"If the sun sets in dark. heavy
clouds. expect rain the next day"
Even a gray sunset indicates rain.
But a gray morning indicates a fine
day.

STORIES AND THE DRAMA.
Harder Work TO Write = Novel Than to

Harder Work to Write = Novel Than "a
Construct q Play.
One reason why a play is easier ia
write than a novel is that a play is
shorter than a novel. On the average
u may say that it takes six plays to
make the matter Of a novel. Other
things being equal, a short work Of art
presents fewer difficulties than a long.
er one. The contrary is held true by
the majority. but then the majority,
having eve attempted to produce a
long work Of art are unqualified to
offer an opinion.
1t is said that the most difficult form
of poetry is the sonnet. But the most
difficult form of poetry is the epic. The
proof that the sonnet is the most diff
lcult form is alleged to be in the few
ness Of perfect soloiets. There are,
however. few more perfect sonnets
than perfect epics. A perfect sonnet
may be a heavenly accident. But such
accidents can never happen to writer's
Of epics.
Some years ago we had an enormous
palaver about the "art Of the short
story" which numerous persons who
had omitted to write novels pronounc-
ed to be more difficult than the novel.
But the fact remains that there are
scores Of perfect short stories, where
as it is doubtful whether anybody but
Turgenev ever did write a perfect
novel.
A short form is easier to manipulate
than a long form because its construc-
ton Is less complicated. because the
balance Of its proportions can be more
easily corrected by means Of n rapid
survey, because it is lawful and even
necessary in it to leave undone many
things which are very hard to do and
because the emotional strain is less
prolonged. The most difficult thing in
all art is to maintain the imaginative
tension unslackened throughout a con-
siderable period.-Metropolitan Maya
