IMPORTANT FINDS BY EGYPTIAN
 EXPEDITION

CAIRO, Egypt. Oct. 10. - Important discoveries which are said to have supplied much of the hitherto obscure history of ancient Ethiopia were made recently by the Egyptian Expedition sent by Harvard university and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts under the direction of Dr. George A. Refs per, we'll known as an Psychologist
 In an interview with a representa- tive Of the Associated Press, pr. Refs ner said that during excavations at Gebel Barkal material bearing the whole period between 160O B. C. and 100 A. D. had been found. and that prospects were that further excava- ton would bring to light objects of still greater importance.
 Among the more important finds have bee nten large statues of kings of Ethiopia Five Of these were near ly complete and five were lacking the heads. but it is believed these will be found. The expedition has also un- covered the foundations Of temples built by Egyptian kinds of the Etgh- teenth Dynasty and shown that the sphinxes Of AmenOphis III and other monuments of that period found at Bargal belong to these temples and were not brought here in later times ss some historians have assumed.

FISHING VESSEL HAD NARROW
 ESCAPE

Stories of how vessels have been found at sea, with all sails set, sail ing aimlessly about with no one aboard and nothing to tell the tale of why she was abandoned are often heard, and frequently the mystery is never cleared up. How such things might occur and yet having a happier ending, Is told in a story brought from the westward.
 About two years ago the schooner Allan, belonging to the Alaska Cod fishing Company, arrived off Unga. bringing a cargo of supplies for the company's stations She came to an chor off the town, with two anchors out and also had a line out to a 5000 pound mOorIng. shortly after heavy southeast gale, which had been threat ening, broke, and the schooner vas severely buffeted by the wind and waves. All night long she rode the seas and held, but the next morning she foulled her mooring line, and com menced to drag anchor toward shore.
 There was no chance to work her off shore, and there was nothing to do but wait and hope. Slowly but surely the schooner drew nearer the rocks which lined the shore, and when she was so close that a man might almost leap to land, the captain gave the order to abandon the ship. A large yawl was lowered, into which the officers and crew lowered them selves, and they put off, leaving the vessel to her fate. This was in the early evening. just at the approach Of dusk. Owing to the force and direc- tiOn of the wind the men were unable to make Unga, and put out across the strait IS miles to Nagai island. where they landed in safety and found shel, ter in fishing station.
 Shortly after the crew left the schooner the wind yeered off shore. swinging her away from the beach Here the situation was ripe for the making Of another of those sea tales of mystery, but being slightly protect. ed from the force of the gale, the an chors held her safely, and all day long she rode the seas in safety.
 The people Of Unga. unaware that the vessel had been abandoned. watch ed the schooned all day, wondering why she did not put farther out, or someone come ashore, but no one thought of venturing aboard.
 The following morning, the gale hay ing abated. the crew made their way from Nagai back to Unga in the hope of saving something from the wreck. Imagine their surprise and delight when they found the vessel swinging safely but a short distance from where they expected to find battered hulk.
 They made their way aboard, found everything intact, and hauling up an. chors, made their way into a safer spot in the harbor Eventually they delivered their cargo of supplies and sailed back to San Francisco, none the worse for their experience.

REPUBLICAN R

The republican party was put
out of power because of failure,
practical failure and not moral
failure. Its policy was provincial
in ali things; its purposes were out
of harmony with the temper and
purposes of the people and the
timely development of the nations
interests. The republican party
is just the party that cannot meet
the new conditions of a new age.
1t does not know the way and it
does not wish new conditions. 1t
tried to break away from the old
leaders and could not. They still
select its candidates and dictate
IS policy. When it changes its
leaders and its purposes and brings
its ideas up to date it will have
the right to ask the American
people to give it power again; but
not until then.

A KANGAROO AT BAY.
Its Cunning Defense When Pursued
Into the Water by Dogs.

Its Cunning Defense When Pursued
Into the Water by Dogs.
In the kangaroo hunts Of Australia
capture is sufficiently easy, but some
times the kangaroo makes an original
defense.
If possible the kangaroo directs his
flight toward q river. If he reaches
it he enters, and, thanks to his great
height, he is able to go on foot to q
depth where the dogs are obliged to
swim.
There he plants himself on his two
hind legs and his tail and, up to his
shoulders in the water, awaits the ar,
rival Of the pack. With his forepaws
he SEXES by the head the first dos;
that approaches, and as he is more
solidly balanced than his assailant he
holds the dogs nose beneath the wa
ter as long as he can. Unless a second
dog speedily comes to the rescue the
first one is inevitably drowned. If Il
companion arrives and sets him free
he is glad to regain the bank as quick
ly as possible.
A strong and courageous old kanga-
roo will hold his own against twenty
or thirty dogs, drowning some and
frightening others, and the hunter Is
obliged to intervene with a bullet

that will extend over a considerable

since a ha%ppenstance sent him to

more than that he has hindered,

been secured by President Wilson and
his administration for the benefit and
