Another incident is recountcd of q
man who could not swim in his waking
hours. but who arose at night and
swan Il river two miles wide. lie was
in the habit of doing this two or three
times "A week. A young man much
given to horseback riding got up ono

his bedroom window and mounted the
garden wall. He wore spurs and pro
ceeded to go through all the ma v
noeuvres of a man riding at full tilt.
4 young lady was confronted with
the necessity of winning a scholar
ship or abandoning her university
course. On taking up her books one
morning the girl found that she al

She was wholly unable to understand
as she had not looked at them before
When this happened several times the
girl told her mother about 1t, and the
latter watched the girl closely. In a
night or two She saw her arise, get
her books and begin to study.
There was another student, n young
man. who had an obsession for rising
in his sleep and wandering about the
school dormitory. His fellow students
began to throw pillows at him after
this had been repeated n good many
times. But instead OF Weakening. the
young man became an expert dodge,
and seemed to enjoy the sport. Then
the other students erected barrica des
and put chairs in his path. But he
succeeded in finding his way about
despite everything, moving the chairs
leaping the barbados and continuing
his nocturnal wanderings.

Deputy Loringhoven, in reviewing
three years of war. is quoted as say
ing: If. nevertheless, these unexam-
Piled German successes which in earlier
times would long ago have brought
peace. have not carried us any further
II is because the general world politi :
cal and economic situation operates
only in favor of our enemies who have
been able to enlist help from their
ever-erowing number of allies. This
aid has enabled them to carry on the
war until the present day and so it ha 5
come about that our soldiers have been
really cheated out OF the fruits of their
victories" All of which sounds to us
like preparing the people for a fall.

Strange Exploits Of Sleep Walkers

The somnambulist does remarkable
things while asleep that he never
would be able to do when awake. One
authority upon his subject, a nerve
specialist who has studied it carefully,
! recently compiled a list Of curious ex-
ploits performed by sleep walkers.
Some of these are so extravaeant AS
to seem impossible, but they are all
vouched for by the doctor in question.
He cites the case Of a Russian
banker who had penchant for rising
in his sleep and looking over his IA :
j pers. This banker became much in
terested in new oil company and
considered buying share in the en-
terprise. After long deliberation he
| came to the conclusion that it was of
doubtful character and decided not to
invest
Imagine the bankers surprise. a few
days later. when he received word from
his agents that they had carried out
his orders and invested a very large
sum OF money in the company. He, Of
course, knew nothing OF the trans
action. but they showed him a letter
written In his own hand authorizing
them to go ahead. In fear of being
taken for a mailman. the banker ac-
knowledged its correctness and pre-
tended to suddenly remember the in
cident.
But in reality he almost feared for
his sanity himself BY no possible
means could be remember the letter
and he became doubly convinced that
the oil enterprise would fail. In less
than two years it had earned him
$500. 000-all because OF Il letter
written in his sleep,

Oysters
Work in Japan and Pro-
duce Pearls Ready Made.

One of the queerest farms in the
world is situated on the island of Tato-
kujima, in the bay of Ago, Japan. The
farm lands lie fathoms deep in water
and the crops are lustrous pearls.
Oyster shells are lined with a smooth
coating which is commonly called
mother Of pearl or nacre. The oyster
builds up this lining layer on layer.
II any foreign substance-even n
grain OF sand-happens to enter the
shell of any oyster the oyster immedi-
ately begins to allay the irritation 1t
causes by surrounding it with the ma
teral it uses to build up the lining of
its shell, says Popular Science Month
~. This process the oyster keeps up
year after year.
Pearls are not made by oysters
alone. Any mollusk may form them,
but pearls formed by common oysters
and clans are not particularly attract.
i've.
On the farm at Tatokujima the first
steps toward the production of the
pearls are taken during July and Aug.
ust OF each year. Wherever the larvae
of the pearl oysters have been found
mots abundant, small pieces of rock
and stone are placed. In a little while
oyster-spat will be attached to these
rocks. Then the rocks are removed to
beds which have been prepared for
them in deep waters. If they are left
in shallow water during the winter
the oysters may perish from the cold.
They are left in the deep water beds
undisturbed for three years, Then they
are taken out of the sea, and into
each oyster is introduced a small seed
pearl or a. small round piece OF nacrc
which serves as the nucleus for n fu-
ture pearl. The oysters are then re.
turned to the sea, where they remain
for four years. At the end of that
time they are. taken out and the har-
vest of pearls is reaped. During the
four years the oyster has been busily
engaged in piling layer on layer of ma

WIRELESS TELEPHONY
WINS DEv0TEE; NOW HE'S
CARRYING A SHOT GUN

One OF the most remarkable ac-
complishments of the Knights Temp
lars during their trip across the sea
was the perfection, Of wireless tele-
phony-mostly ''phoney," as they were
nearing Hilo.
During a committee meeting 1t was
suggested by McMurtry, McGilyray
and others that they get In connec-
ton with McCandless at Hilo by wire
less telephone to see what the latest
plans were.
Among those to doubt the success
of such a venture was Joe" Savage.
incidentally the first man ashore At
Hilo, although that had nothing 70
do with the teIephoning.
Joe" said 1t couldn't be done and
they" proceeded to show him.
The gay deceiyers repaired to the
wireless room where the operator
was fixed" Then "McCandless'
talked to Savage. calling him over
the ship phone.
The most remarkable thing about
1t is that his voice sounded as II he
were in the next ROOM" Savage told
the conspirators afterwards.
To make it better, Savage paid the
wireless operator s.. Now he carries
