SCIENCE SCHOOL NOTES

Prof. G. p. Wolf has resigned
from the Science School faculty,
to accept better position US
principal of the County High
School at Menominee, Wis. The
Science School suffers a distinct
loss in the departure of Prof.
Wolf. Personally Mr.. Wolf is a
man of unusual qualities and abb
litcs. He can to the Science
School in 1912 and has been
counted as one of the Schools
best men. In his subjects of
chemistry and agriculture he has
few equals, and students who have
been fortunate enough to have
him in that work are TO be con-
ralulated. Mr.. Wolf has been
TIL" oreceptor Of the Bows dormi-
tory and as such has been univer-
sally liked. Prof. Wolf goes
back to the town from which he
cam" to Wahpeton and this is /,
splendid index of his worth. While
we are very sorry to see him
leave us yet we congratulate him
on securing his new position and
our best wishes go with him.
Prof. Wolf leaves Saturday night.

Men Who Wear FsathSrs.

Among the strange tribes of men
about whom little is known are the
Chamacocos Of the region about the
upper Paraguay river. Although the
Chamacocos wear but little clothing,
they excel in the art of making per-
sOnal adornments from the feathers of
birds: Their country abopnds with
birds of the most beautiful plumage,
including parrots, toucans and trogons,
whose feathers are dazzling in color:
rheas. with gray plumes; musk ducks
Of a glossy black color, egrets with
feathers of pure white and spoon bills
of delicate pink hue. All this wealth
Of color and graceful plumage is COM
bined by the Chamacocos In a most
artistic manner. Some Of these saw.
ages walk their forest glades In colors
more brilliant, If less ample, than any
woman's dressmaker could produce

The Turk and tho Crescent,

The crescent was not originally the
emblem of the Turk 1t was first used
by the primitive Christians Of Constan-
tinople and the eastern provinces Of
the old Roman empire as an emblem
Of the growing influence of Christiani-
ty. 1t was not until about the year
1883, after the Turks bad Qyerrun Asia
Minor aid part Of southern Europe and
had captured Constantinople, that the
Turks adopted the crescent as their nd
tional emblem. The Koran prohibits the
use Of images and symbols in the re-
ligious ceremonies Of the strict Turks
or the internal decoration of the tenn
pies and mosques, the rule being so
strict as not to allow the martial or
civic decoration of the greatest gen.
erals or pashas. successful commanders
or other distinguished persons. The
adoption Of the crescent by the Turk
as a national emblem Is an oddly

cjouoed MufHers,

The poor performances of a motor
may be caused by a clogged mufler.

the power Of the engine is inevitably
lessened. The mufher certainly ought
to be cleaned out once year. The
muller is filled with metal convolu-
tons. which gather dirt and carbon.
blocking the passage and hindering the
escape Of the; exhaust gases. II the
stoppage reaches a sufficient degree of
completeness there is danger that an
Ill timed explosion may extend back
to the muller, which acts like closed
explosion chamber and blows it to
atoms. The clogging Of the muller Is
assisted by the use Of too much Oil in
the engine. This excess oil finds it's
way back and, getting on the passages
and parts, acts as a catch-all for car
bon and dirt.-New York Post.
