was diseredited. The next recorded
visit was by a trapper named Joseph
Meek in 1929, who described it as "a
country smoking with vapor from boil
ing springs ana burning with gases is
suing from small cratcrs." From some
of these c%raters, he said. ISSUED blue

Big AUTO SHOW At STATE FAIR

More than 10000 square feet of *
hibit space have been reserved in Ma
chinery Hall for a big display of the
new 1917 automobiles. From the
present interest in this line, it is be-
lieved that about forty different makes
will be represented at the State Fair.
Secretary c. N. McIlvaine states
that it will be the greatest auto show
ever put on in South Dakota and that
cars will be exhibited at the State Fair
which have never been shown here
before.
Machinery Hall, in which this show
will be conducted, is a %lireproof. wind
proof and dustproof concrete building,
windowed ON all four sides. With a
good line of displays and special music
for the entertainment of visitors in
this building, the automobile display
this year should be one of more than
usual interest.

oriain Of Geometry.

There is little doubt that the science
Of geometry had its origin in Egypt.
The annual overflow of the Nile wiped
out all landmarks and boundaries. and
some reliable means of measuring the
earth was I'm absolute necessity;
hence the rise of geometry. which
means earth measurement. From all
accounts the philosopher Thales took
the science from Egypt to Greece,

This Fish Resembles a Torpedo and Is

His shape resembles a torpedo, and
his attack too. Fishermen and hathers
In seas where he is found regard him
as almost as deadly as the torpedo
and far more common in peaceful wa
tiers. Fishermen and fish alike are
enemy to him, and he will attack with
a ferocity surprising even the shark.
He's called the barracuda.
His body is long and round. and his
head pointed. His wide mouth bristles
with large. sharp teeth. There are
more than a dozen varieties scattered
over the oceans. all OF them fierce and
hungry.
Sometimes they grow to n length of
six to eight feet. These giants are the
Ones dreaded by the fishermen. Even

Fishermen have to guard against
poisoned flesh in the barracuda. Some
times the big fish eats a poisonous
kind of fish, which in turn poisons its
own flesh. The barracuda's bite is re-
garded MS poisonous In itself, and the
wounds caused by the giant fish's teeth
become inflamed and 1nfected.-PniIa-
