 TEAM IN ARMY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. S.-Football statistics collected by the athletic au- thorities of the University of Pennsyl- vania show that with the exception of two men. who were rejected for defec- tive eyesght, every member of the 1915 team and the first nine substitutes are in the national war service.
 "The record made by Pennsylvania football men" said M. J. Pickering the graduate manager, shows conclusively, in our opinion that Pennsylvania's s stand in maintaining football and other sports has stimulated enlistment rather than retarded it. In addition to the almost unanimous enlistment of our athletes, ogr student body has given approximately 1000 undergraduates to the war service"
 The only two members of the 1916 football team who did not get into the national service are former Captain Neil Mathews and this years captain, H. J. Mier.~

PLANET MERCURY
 FREEZES AND BURNS
(Popular Astronomy

The nearest planet to the sun is Mercury, small globe 5000 miles in diameter. at distance of ap- proximately 36 million miles, Being so close to the sun, Mercury. as seen from the earth, never moves more than 2S degrees to either side of the sun. Consequently, it is, a difficult object to observe being al- ways near the horizon at dusk or dawn. the only times it is visible to the naked eye.
 What little is known about this planet has been discovered by day. light observations when it can be seen near the meridian and free from the disturbing effects of the atmosphere at the horizon. Ii has apparently no atmosphere of it's own and it's surface looks as if it were covered with cracks due to the ter. rife solar heat continually beating down upon it. Only one side of the planet can be seen, as 1t alway.; turns the same face toward the sun. making the other side always dark.
 Let US now picture to ourselves conditions existing on Mercury dh one side would find a never ending day with a fierce sun beating down upon it with seven times more heat and light per unit of surface than we receive on earth, and this with no atmosphere to temper it. our atmos- | phere reducing the amount of light and heat received at the earths sur i face by a very considerable amount. l The other side would be immersed
 in an eternal night and subject to | the terrible cold of space. 470 de- 1 grees below zero Fahrenheit, with no atmosphere, and consequently no circulation of air to bring warmth l from the other side.
 Thus we see one side scorched to l a cinder by the relentless rays of a fierce sun, and the other side pitch dark and frozen solid by a cold we never conceive of on earth. Certain : l ly life under such circumstances
 would be impossible

 Industrial and political demoraliza- tion,. together with neavy depletion of the man power of this wonderful land. have eliminated Russia from this line of endeavor. China does not grow apples, neither is the fruit raised for commercial purposes in any part of Asia In the Latin American nations Chile alone raises apples, but enough only for home consumption.

THREE PEOPLE
 BUY SAME JAR

Officials of the Leach Motor car company of Los Angeles found them selves ir a tight place during the recent Los Angeles automobile show. A little red liberty car. mate to the one received this week at the local branch of the company, made a de- cided hit. Several motor car en- thusissts wanted it and wouldn't take mo" for an answer when they were told it was for display purposes only, so three different Los Angeles resi- dents became the owner of the same car. A rush order to the factory will probably solve the situation, else there will be considerable weeping and wall ing and snashing of teeth by at least two persons who thought they bought the car which had already been pur- chased once.

In purchasing Liberty bonds the

OF their farms. Much Of the pro

the amount loaned 10 the allies. is %

farmers. There are other reasons
however. that make the Liberty loan

The aborigines Of Queensland are
fast fading away, and in view of the
fact that this race will soon be extinct
an examination of their. social customs
Is interesting.
The death bone or bone apparatus,
with its supposed property of produc-
ing death, is one OF the most dreaded
and universal superstitions among the
natives Of the Queensland interior
The apparatus consists of a pointer
connected by string with an elongated
cylindrical receptacle. The pointer.
three to five inches long, is made from
a human forearm bone, the string is
made from human hair, and the recep-
tacle, which incloses the victims life
blood, is fashioned from shin bone.
The medicine man" Of the tribe uses
the weapon by aiming the pointer at
the person selected for punishment
One of the most curious of the abo-
riginal weapons Is the "whirler," or
bull roarer." It is made of a fat
tened piece Of gidyea timber cut into
spindle shape, into one extremity OF
which hole is drilled with a sharp
ened emu bone. BY means OF the aper-
ture this whirler Is attached to a piece
Of string fixed at the end of small
stick. Revolving rapidly, the whirler
gives out a roaring sound.--London
