NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Two rings

Private detectives have been unsuc-

NEW PETROL SUBSTITUTE
TO REDUCE AUTO BILLS

LONDON, Sept 5.-The joint COM
mittee appointed by the Royal Auto
mobile Club, the Automobile Associa-
ton and the Society of Motor Manu-
facturers to find an efficient substitute
for petrol has discovered a process
which it is claimed will produce 49,
900, 900 gallons of motor spirit annually
without in any way depicting the
country's mineral resources. 1t in
wolves the utilization of a product of
coal hitherto unsuitable for motor
fuel
The spirit will be sold for not more
than 2S cents a gallon, probably less.
The secretary of the commottee points
out that the annual consumption of
motor spirit in Great Britain is about
100, 100000 gallons, and that the pres
ent price of petrol is AZ cents gallon.

Animals and EARTHQUAKES.

One of the mysteries still unsofved
Is that of the sense by which the low
er animals become aware Of the ap-
proach of earthquakes. For three or
four days before a series Of earth
quakes at Guadalajara. Mexico, the
many parrots Of the city showed
great and unusual restlessness, and
during the period Of disturbance the
increased cries Of the birds gave warn
ing Of the nearness Of the worst shocks
Rats also became alarmed, fleeing
from the city before the earthquakes
came. Supersensitiveness to faint
shocks hardly give satisfactory expla-
nation, for modern seismographs are
very sensitive, and it is quite unlikely
that tremors too slight to be recorded
would be felt so strongly as to give
alarm.

China and tho telegraph.

China was confronted with a sttn
problem at the Introduction Of the tele-

dashes in sufficient variety to express
the 5000 or 1000 characters used by
a fairly literate Chinese. not to speak
Of the entire 10000 or so known to the
highly educated men Of that race A
phonetic system was barred by the
fact that the same Chinese monosylla-
BILE means different things. according
to the context or intonation and also
by the diversity of dialects. A Dane,
Professor Schellerup. found the solu-
ton. The 1000 characters most COM
monty used are given their equivalents
in a code Of numerals and these nu-
merals are telegraphed. Thus. cash"
In the code is 6,030. If any one want

A Prairie Dog Colony.

A prairie dog settlement in
Colorado is estimated to contain
500, 900, 900 inhs b1tants. Were
the snakes, owls, rabbits, lizards
and horned toads which live with
the dogs to be counted in, the
population of the place would
reach the billion mark.
The figures are not strictly
accurate, for the government has
never counted these dogs in the
census. But anyone who has
seen such a city knows there are
over one hundred dogs to the
acre, and this city is one hum
dred and forty miles long by fifty
wide, containing 4,4S0, 900 acres.
They dig deep burrows with
so many chambers that the rail-
roads which is being put through
their city will have to destroy a
large number of dogs and their
homes in order to avoid accidents
from caving in of tracks.
This city was founded CEN
turtles ago. 1t has been known
to be about its present size for
fifty years. Families grow rap
idly and the young ones stay at
home till there is not room
enough for all and some are push
ed out to dig homes for them
selves.
They live on four kinds of
food, cactus, roots of wire-grass,
tender green shoots OF sage
brush, and greasewood. These
are the only specimens of plant
life found in the western deserts
where prairie dogs are native. In
spite of the sameness of their
fare they manage to keep sleek
and fat on food which a ground
squirrel would consider starya-
ton diet.
