The Rubber-Tired Coral.

Among the strange animals that
came under the observation of Mr..
Roy Chapman Andrews, who conduct
ed an expedition into farther China,
under the auspices of the American
Museum of Natural History, was the
coral, mountain goat of extraordi-
nary agility.
/ have seen a coral, says the explor-
er, run at full speed down the face OF
a cliff that appeared to be almost per-
pendicular. The dogs did not venture
to follow 1t. AS the animal landed on
a projecting rock. it would bounce off
as IL made of rubber and leap eight
or ten feet TO a narrow ledge that
did not seem large enough to support
q rabbit.

Garden equipment is essential for

easy hard work may be with the right
kind of facilities for doing IT. This is
true in garden work. Garden nipple
ments cost so little in comparison 10
their value that no one can afford to
get along without them The same
may be said of farm implements and

Found Platinum Beds.

DR.. Herschel C. Parker of Columbia
university. while on an exploring ex-
pedition to Alaska last summer, dis
covered extensive platinum beds in
the Susitana and Yentna valleys in
the Cook inlet country. He brought
out large number Of ore samples on
his return to The States. and is now
engaged in exhaustive tests of the
metal. He expects to establish plant
for handling the ore when he goes
back to Alaska next spring.
"The Alaska platinum ore is low
grade" said Doctor Parker. "but it is
there in abundance. 1t will have TO be
handled in large quantities and under
scientific methods Of economy to make
it pay. The question of its commercial
value is simply one of engineering.

USE OF PARAVANES
SAVES MANY lives
British Invention Which Picked
Up mines Ahead of the
Vessels.

Hundreds of American bluejackets
undoubtedly We're saved from death
because TIE American warships, while
proceeding through the mine-strcwn
seas. were equipped with paravanes,
through courtesy of the British admi-
ralty.
Fitted with paravanes, the warships
ished out any mines ahead of the
vessels. Novices often mistook the ap-
paratus for torpedoes. The thing made
humming sound when adjusted to a
speeding ship, owing to friction.
The paravane consists Of a water
plane shaped like torpedo, having
a pair of large flat fms projecting on
either side of its body. The tail is
fitted with rudders to keep the thing
at any set depth. It is towed over
side by wire rope which runs from
the Ships bows outward. The wire
rope is intended to pick up the moor
ing ropes of mines and slide them
along till they reach the nose of the
paravanes, where a sharp saw is fixed
inside a V-shaped slot. The saw cuts
through the mooring rope and allows
the mine to float free, where it can be
either avoided or destroyed.
Due to the cable and fin arrange.
ment the twin paravanes kept diagon
ally ahead Of the vessel. N..val men
say the invention did more than any
other single device to defeat Ger
many's policy Of attrition.
