Shamanism, or superstition and sor

years ago believe in the words ant

had tabooed.
The Shaman attained his position
and power by unusual methods. BY
fasting and prayer amid the soltudes
Of the woods or mountains, where he
fed only on grasses and roots. he pre-
pared himself to become q shaman. By
this method It was believed the can

Usually the spirit, willing to abide
with the shaman. sent the novitiate

Thus the land otter was regarded
as too sacred to be killed by other

The Airplane as a Decoy.

Ever since wars have been waged
man has made use of decoys to Outwit
the foe. Even In the recent war a
decOy proved to be useful once In a
while. An instance occurred at point
on the western front where :'.a British
trenches faced salient Of the Ger
man trench system. At the time when
the British staff determined to reduce
the salient the Daily Chronicle tells us,
the Germans were expecting an Ordi-
nary attack with its primary lombard
ment. They promptly fell into the trap
set for them.
Early In the morning a British air
plane flew very low over the front
line trenches and passed parallel to
the German line, but 500 or 600 yards
behind 1t. The Germans thought the
plane target that could not be missed
and turned their backs on the British
trenches to fire on the machine. While
they were engaging the airplane, the
British infantry suddenly went 0vel
the top and in few minutes captured
the position and took number Of pris
oners.
The machine returned to its air
drOme riGdled with bullet holes, bu
both the pilot and the observer wer,
uninjured.

LOCATIONS OF VOLCANOES
Eruptions Come From Weak Spots on
Earth's Crust-Areas Divided in
Four Groups.

Volcanoes are located on the weak
spots in the earth's crust, scientists
say, according to a writer In Leslie's
Weekly. These areas are in the ocean
basins, the lands bordering these ba
sins, or mountains which flank or con
struct outlines of continents. These
areas are divided into four groups
viz: (D Pacific-Caribbean belt, fol
lowing the Andes of South America
the lesser Antilles. Central America
and Mexico, the west coast of NORTH
America, Kamchatka, the japanese
Islands. the Philippines, and Sunda
s;ca Islands, New Zealand and Victoria
land. in the Antarctic; (2) the Medi
terranern-C Caspian region; (3) Allan
tic region. including the volcanoes OF
Iceland and the Azores; (4) the Pa
cific region, with volcanoes in Polyne
sia, Hawaiian and other islands. just
why these parts of the earth's crust
should be the weak spots has not beer
convincingly explained.

Finland and Australia.

Finland has discovered Australia
and it is hoped, observes an exchange
that the commonwealth will soon rec.
ognize commercially the enterprisine
new republic. Trade relations with
Australia are being sought, and Fin
land will be glad to exchange cream
separators and safety matches, paper
pulp and timber for little of Aus
tralia's surplus meat and wheat. The
consul of the new republic has es
tablished his headquarters in Sydney
New South Wales, and has already OBJ
tanned excellent publicity. Finland

FLYERS UNHURT IN .
Forced LANDING
Big Airplane Stands on Nose
When Mishap Comes on
Sandbar.

In making a forced landing on the
sandbar at the foot of Adams avenue,
Lieuts. j. T. Sullivan and G. G. Gar
rison, Park field aviators, narrowly es-
capped either a plunge In the Mississippi
river or more serious fall on the
Memphis wharf shortly before l o'clock
Thursday afternoon.
The flyers in a. big Curtiss two-seater
from Park field had been giving some
exhibition OF tree~top flying In the
interests OF the Victory loan, and the
atrplane exhibit being given on the
Memphis water front. The landing un-
der the difficult circumstances was
made without INJURY to either fthe men
and damage to the machine was con-
fined to broken propeller.
Flying toward the Memphis wharf
from the river the flyers seemed al
first about to land on Mud island. The
craft passed over the obstacle, however
and the long bar Just east Of the new
channel of Wolf river apparently pre-
scented a good spot to light. All would
have been we'll save for the fact that
a row OF houseboats had to be dodgej
at the waters edge. This caused the
big plane to run too far UP the shore
and end its forced landing by standing
on its nose for a moment before set.
