St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1913-10-25

There is scarcely a t m e
when a wreck takes place that
the officials do not talk about
probing into the cause of the ac-
cident--what precious little good
it will do to those who have suf-
fered from this accident.
II would be by fir better to
probe the possibilities Of a wreck
than to wait until it has happen
ed before inspecting why such a
thing took place.
On last Saturday an accident
happened in New Orleans which
took the life of four persons.
l&pw there is a great deal of talk
a6out probing this accident. It
certainly cannot bring back those
who have suffered so heavily
from this accident to life; it
might do some good to the many
thousands who will have occa-
SION to pass there hereafter and
will be able to recall the expert
ence of those who went be-
fore.
Officials should look into the
possibilities of such accidents
taking place and remedying them
before anyone should suffer for
heir lack of mterest in the pub
lie safety. Probing after the
thing has been done will not do
any good, but forcing the rail-
road companies to come up to1
their expectation with regard to
public safety shGold be a guide
to the officials,

Easy to Locate the Poles.

Suppose a person who was igno-
rant Of astronomy and the method
Of taking observations should set
out to find the north pole. How
would he know when he reached it ?
BY setting up a vertical rod and
measuring its shadows at frequent
intervals as the sur passed around
the sky, If these shadows all re-
manned OF the same length during
the suns course through the heav-
ems, the Ignorant" explorer would
then know he was at the pole. II
the lengths of the rods shadows va
ried during the twenty-four hours
he could not be at the pole, and the
direction in which the shadows fell
shortest would indicate the way in
which the boreal point lay, OF
course such observations could only
be made during the "arctic day"
that is, when the sun is above the
horizon in the northern ATTITUDES.

ELEPHANT Police,

The sight of six pairs of ele-
plants simultaneously at work cap

one. Like a pair of animal police
men arresting a prisoner, the great
beasts sidle alongside a victim, take
him between them and jostle and
squeeze and worry him, tail first, to-
ward a tree. Every inch is contested
by the herculean fighters until near.

Oysters Killed by ssawesd.

Extensive ravages are often COM
United by seaweed spores in oyster
beds in a very curious fashion. The
weed grows on the shell of the oys-
ter and is of an oval shape, solid at
first and afterward filled with va
ter. II often attains the size Of a
hens egg or even of a mans fist.
Left uncovered by the tide, it splits
and loses its water. This is replaced
by air, which is imprisoned by the
next rise of the tide. The seaweed
now acts as a balloon, raises the oys-
Ter from the bottom and floats with
it out to sea. Hundreds OF thou
sands of oysters are thus lost.

Basket Ball Tournament

The Annual South Dakota High
School Basket Ball Tournament will
be held IN Huron on March 10th and
Dist. 1914, and viii! be conducted on
the same plan as the tournaments of
the last two years.
rhis will be the third annual tour
nament. and the date set seems to be
the n most satisfactory to the high
schools, inasmuch as it gives them
all an opportunity to play out their
full schedules and make this their
final effort of the season. At the
first tournament, ten teams register
ed and eight entered the contest.
Last year, eighteen teams register
ed, but on account of snowbound
trains only twelve finally entered.
Judging by reports from various
parts of the state, a much larger
number will enter this year.
A silver loving cup, twenty inches
in height, is offered to the team that
will first have won three annual con
tests. Besides the tournament cup,
a fine annual cup is awarded to the
winner of the contest each year.
Aberdeen high school was the winner
last year and Redfeld won twoyears
ago.
These contents are conducted und-
er the auspices of Huron College and
are managed directly by The athletic
committee. The college pays all
necessary expenses of local entertain
mcnt for teams of eight men each
from all high schools whom the State
High School Association has declared
eligible to enter. The state com
mittce decides on the eligibility of
individual players. as well as team
eligibility, in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the associa-
ton.

Death From Trichinosis

Sioux Falls. S. d., Dec 19.-That
there practically is no hope for the
recovery of the remaining members
of the John Wet family, living %
miles southwest of Sioux Falls. who
are affected with trichinosis, is the
report broue hit to Sioux Falls by
physicians who have just returned
from the scene of the terrible affiic-
ton The trichinosis resulted from
members of the family eating sau-
sage which had not been cooked.
Thus far Wet. the head of the
family, and two daughters, Grace
and Rose have died. Two other
daughters. HiIda, aged 10, and her
Swear old sister. and Peter Wet.
aged Is, are those remaining mem.
bers of the family who are declared
to be doomed.
The fact that the mother is an in.
valid. and that John Wet, the oldest
son was away from home. and the
youngest child, aged two months,
was too young to partake of the sau-
sage saved the Wet family from
being annihilated. The father and
two daughters died within two weeks
after partaking Of the infected sau
sage.

MExIcANs AS FIGHTERS.
Despite Splendid Courage, They Never
Won a Battle From Us.


Won a Battle From Us.
The battle Of Buena Vista was
n Of the decisive battles Of the
Mexican war. There were about
10000 Mexicans to some 5000
United States troops engaged, and
the result put the northern part of
LeSico at the mercy Of the United
States.
1t may be said hat as it was in
that battle so it was in every battle
of the Mexican war. From the be-
ginning to the end the Mexicans did
not win a solitary victory.
The Mexicans showed a splendid
courage. In nearly every instance
they greatly outnumbered their ad-
~versaries, and in nearly every in
stance, again, they had the advan-
tage of position. Still the Ameri-
cans invariably beat them.
At Palo Alto 1000 Americans
routed 5000 Mexicans, and at Resa-
ca de la Palma the odds were about
the same. At Monterey, Taylor,
with 5000 men, stormed a place
that was defended by a force 10000
strong. At Buena Vista the odds
were four to one against the Amer
leans, as they we're also at Sacra-
mento. At Sierra Gordo General
Scott, with 5000 men, found Santa
Anna strongly intrenched with 49,
600, and yet he walked right over
him, killing and wounding 1000 of
his men, capturing 5000 and dis
persing the rest. Finally Scott,
with 1900 men as against 10000
Of the enemy, won Churubusco,
Chapultepec and the City Of Mexico
itself.
Thus in every instance through
out the Mexican war were the invad-
ers victorious and Notwithstanding
the fact that the advantage in num-
bers and in position was invariably
with those whose country they were
invading.
This is a decidedly unique fact in
the history Of warfare, since it
would be difficult, if not impossible,
to find another conflict between two
nations in which there was not, to
some extent at least, a division Of
the honors of the battlefield.
The explanation is left for the
Psychologists and for those who
study the deeper traits of men and
nations.-Kew York American.
