TRULY A GREAT PATHFINDER
Munso Park the First to Plunge Fear
Iessly Into the Heart Of
Darkest Africa"

Mungo Park started out on his At
rican expedition-the first serious at
tempt that was ever made to explore
the dark continent'-118 years ago,
October "a, 1895. The lion-hearted
Scotchman, with two negro servants,
set out from Gambia, on the west
coast, and plunged fearlessly into the
task which, before him, no white man
had ever attempted.
1t took a real man "a plunge into
the unknown interior, filed with tales
of the monstrous and the terrible.
Huge serpents, roaring lions, great
black cannibals, scorching heat, dead
ly fevers-who would dare to chal-
lenge these things And SO Africa re-
mained dark until yesterday, as it
were, while Moses was battling with
his problem in the Arabian wilder
ness; while civilization was maturing
in Egypt and Greece; while Roman
republics and empires we're rising and
falling; while the modern nations
we're coming into being; while Cru
saders were fighting, and troubadors
were singing; while Columbus was
discovering the new world, and Wash
ington was founding the United States
of America.
But at last the man and the hour
met, and the son of the Selkirkshire
farmer took his brave leap into the
mystery. In the mystery he remained
a year and a half, when he reap
peared, returned to England and
wrote Travels in the Interior of AZ
rica,Y book which is still one Of the
most interesting in the libraries Of
the world.
In the year 1906 Mungo Park start
ed on his second trip to the dark
continent-a trip from which he was
never to return. Resolved. with true
Scotch grit to discover the mouth
Of the Niger or perish in an attempt" :"
Park pushed on through the pathless
forests until he reached a point be-
tween 9 and 10 north latitude, where.
In attempting to make his escape from
the natives who we're about to kill
him, he was drowned in the mighty
stream, which should be accepted as
his most fitting monument. Rev. +.
B. Gregory, in New York American.

that Harry Grant, twice winner OF
the Vanderbilt, has purchased two
Sunbeams, together with a driver
named Markle, formerly mechanician
to the late Louis Strang Grant left
for Europe some time ago to pull Off
the deal in question, and seems 70
have arranged everything to his salts
faction. He is being financed by W,
ziegler, Jr., the Boston millionaire.
With two sunbeams a great showing
is expected.
Several other European entries are
reported under way by coterie Of
American racing enthusiasts, recently
returned from abroad, among them
Spencer Wishart, the Mercer star.
The Sunbeam factory Is thus said to
be figuring on another car, driven
either by Chassange, the worlds hour
record holder. or Resta, another cele-
brated foreign crack, and the Peugeot
people are affirmed to have definite
ly decided on sending both Goux end
Boillot, their championship pair. In
addition there are Guyot in a Delage,
and Vauxhall counted on as almost
certain, while three special Mercedes
cars are said to be in course Of con-
struction.
Wishart, personally, seems to be
as much interested in foreign and
domestic events this year. planning
to enter the French Grand Prix if
possible. He wants the Mercer fac
tory to send three-car team. If he
fails in this he intends to make con-
nections elsewhere, driving for a Eu-
ropean concern If necessary. The
speedway race, with five entries.
Anel, two stutzes, Gray Fox and
Beaver, already in, is the only Ameri-
can classic that promises to outranls
Europe's best in his opinion.

eyes, Mister. Coyotes Despair sure
is a bit slow, and don't blame you for
thinking so. You see, this town hasn't
quite recovered from the shock we
had last month. 1t cleaned US out,
too, especially Abe Finkel and Sam
Corbett, and all through the scheming
of Cy Holmes, Yankee trader who
happened to be born about an hour
earlier than the rest Of US.
you see, it was this way. When Cy
Holmes opened his store on Main
street nobody thought he would last
long. There was Abe Finkel and Sam
Corbett holding the trade, and nobody
kicking at their goods So Cy Holmes
just languished.
"That is, until Miss Mabel come into
the game Miss Mabel got down off
the stage about FIVE o'clock one after
noon The word had been passed, and
she hadn't hardly descended before
there was respectful and admiring

"'Can any gentleman tell me where

"It wasn't long before we learned
her story. She had been a school

ordered her to Arizona for her health
She'd had enough money to get to
Coyotes Despair, and there she had

IF Abe Finkel and Sam Corbett had
had an ounce OF sense-but what's the
use Of talking? Inside Of week Miss
Mabel was the pride of Holmes store

LOTS OF GAS IS
NEEDED in
GOTHAM
THE CITY USES 100000 FEET
OF ILLUMlNANT EVERY
DAY

New York, Jan. "A recent inves-
tigation of the amount of gas used for
lighting, heating and cooking purposes
in New York, shows that each day
110,0O0,0OO cubic feet of gas is con-
sumed. The plants which manufac-
ture this gas are in operation "a
hours day, 1865 days in the year.
They employ 5000 men and consume
1000 tons of coal between sunrise and
sunrise. Millions Of gallons Of water
are used, this being decomposed into
millions of feet of gas. Fifty monster
gas holders are required for storing
the 150,00O,0O0 cubic feet of gas which
is manufactured each day. In New
York one thousand miles of gas
mains and $4,000 miles of gas pipe
are required to convey the gas from
the tanks to the consumers. Seven
ty-five per cent of the 110,00O,0OO feet
of gas consumed daily by the resi-
dents of New York is made from wa
ter, instead of from coal, which was
the source from which was derived
the greater part Of Illuminating gas a
few years ago. At this rate, it is
evident, since 1000 tons of coal is
used to supply but one quarter Of the
city's gas, that an immense amount
would be necessary to fill the tanks
had not the system of deriving it from
water been discovered. In the manu-
facture of lighting gas from coal, the
coal is heated until the gas passes
off into retainers, from which it is
transferred to the huge round gas
tanks or holders which one sees about
the city. The manufacture Of water
gas is more complicated. 1t is made
by decomposing steam which is com
posed Of hydrogen and oxygen. The
decomposition is accomplished by
bringing the steam in contact with
hot coke, which liberates the two
gases. These are then combined with
distillate Of petroleum, or gas oil, as
1t is commonly called, and which
gives the gas its Illuminating power
city's Odd Occupations
Among the occupations of Gotham
are many of an unusual nature, which
Las Vegas optic., 1914-01-02

could not exist elsewhere than in a
center Of vast population. There is
the "saw-dust expert" for instance,
who in New York is a very important
business man. He is employed by
Wholesale sawdust dealers to deter
mine Just what kind of sawdust is re-
ouired to meet the needs of their va
rious customers. There are several
firms who have no other care in the
world than to discover the dark sec
rets of why chimneys smoke, thus
giving employment to the Chimney
Doctor" IN line with the chimney
expert is the man who deyotes his
life to defective hot water pipes, 81
ing under the name of a Domestic
Engineer" although he has no con-
rection with the domestic relations
court as his domestic engineering
ceases when the hot water pipes are
in perfect order and all repairs have
been made 70 the beating apparatus
Of the flat. Then comes the "Floor
Scrubbing Expert who makes spe-
ciaity of giving the various kinds Of
floors the proper attention. Ano'1er
profitable occupation is that Of q
"Store Front Expert" who devotes
himself wholly to helping the mer-
chants improve the appearance OF
their establishments by putting new
face on the matter. New York is the
clearing house for experts Of all kinds
who are engaged in the detection or
crime. and among these are the
eTypewriting Detective and the
Finger Pnlt Expert" Another
strange occupation is that of The
"safe openers" who are often called
in by companies unable to open their
own strong boxes because of the abb
gence Of the official in possession OF
the combination.
Bio underground Population
A recent report shows that from a
million and a half to million and
three-quarters of the residents Of New
York City spend at least a portion
of each day underground. Many thou
sands come to the surface so rarely
that the light of day blinds them tenn
porarily when they reach it. New
Workers have become so accustomed
to the idea of living underground that
only a few days ago public cele-
bration was held in a new under
ground passage that has just been
opened. According to the report, 20
900 persons in New York City spend
their entire working hours beneath
the earth's surface. These figures in
clude $500 employees on the two sys-
TENS Of subways now in operation.
They also include 1000 men who are
employed in the construction of the
new subways. Also included are the
Las Vegas optic., 1914-01-02

200 men, most Of whom are work
ing several hundred feet below the
street surface, driving the acqueduct
which is to carry the waters that are
being brought down from the Catskill
mountains. There are more than 1O,-
600 men and women who are EN-
ployed in private enterprises that
take them constantly below the street
surface. On quite ordinary days, l.
500, 900 persons are accommodated in
the New York subways, and the
crowds are multiplying week by
week.
Find Snake 1000 Years Old
Several days ago worlxmen, while
engaged in excavating the site for an
apartment house, discovered large
rock in which was embedded the fig
ure of a huge snake. Biologists who
have Inspected the rock say that the
snake must have been caught in the
rocks during an upheaval of the earth
more than 1000 years ago. The head
and body Of the reptile are plainly
discernible The figure is % feet
long from head to tail. From the ap-
pearance of the figure it would seem
that the snake was somewhat surpris-
ed at the earthquake which preserved
his form for the wonderment of fu-
ture generations. Steps are being ta-
ken to have the rock preserved by
the museum of natural history.
New York Has Deserted Village
In the heart of the lowest east side
lies New York's Deserted Village.
Before the coming of Williamsburg
bridge this section was a thriving
community. Many small shops enjoy
ed prosperous business. Handsome
old residences stood out everywhere
and thousands Of families lived in
comfortable homes in the side streets.
Three ferry lines had their terminal
at the foot of Grand street, which
runs through the center of the viii
lage." All these have disappeared.
The completion of the williamsburg
bridge isolated the section. The shop
keepers sought other parts of the
e;ty. the hundreds Of old families mi-
grated, the ferries ceased to operate
and where but few years ago was
a lively, hustling quarter OF the city
there is now only Deserted Vii
lage."
