THINK HIGHLY OF LANTERNS
Chinese Make Them in Many Attrzc.
tive Forms, and Pay Big Prioes
for Them.

The shops Of the lantern vendors IN
the Chinese cities are usually very
gay and attractive. All varieties Of
lanterns are to be seen-the large
silken ones 8 and 4 feet high, gor-
geously painted with variegated colors,
embroidered in gold and silver or dec
Grated with deep fringe Of the same
material, and common small horn and
paper lanterns used by the coolies, ac-
cor,ling to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The mode of making horn lanterns Is
very ingenious; the horns are cut In
to remarkably thin slices. which, ny
means Of heat and pressure, are
Joined together and formed into vari-
Gus shapes-round, square, hexagon.
octagon and some shaped to resemble
an hour glass.
It is usual for servants after sun
set to carry before their masters large
lanterns made either Of horn or high
~ vanished paper, with the name,
title and dignities painted in large let
ters thereon.
At the Feast of Lanterns, which
takes place in the early part OF the
Chinese New Year, these lantern shop
proprietors reap rich harvest, as II
is customary for parents to make
presents of lanterns to their children,
brother to sister. friend to friend, in
ferior to superior, and vice versa.

Via Iceland.

The desire that centuries ago maze

nection between the eastern and west

hy the shipment Of Canadian grain
from Port Nelson. in Hudson hay, t"

tai. dating back to the coming Of the
Mortimer in the ninth century, Will
thus become an important link in tn"

and tho grain. once stored Mt REX .iavir,
where navigation is practically always
open with Europe. can be forwarded

way haul Of grain moving from the

sand miles: and the grain ships cross
Ing the bay will travel twentieth

French Train Operation Poor.

The French method Of train opera
ton differs sharply from the Amerl-
can. In the United States 1t Is Gus
tumary TO move the trains by means
Of the block signal system, under the
orders Of train dispatchers. In France
The chef de care, a sort of sublimated
station agent, Is supreme. He is in ab'
Solute charge OF all trains that pass
through his station and OF the allot-
ment of cars within his district. A
through train having reached his sta
ton, 1t cannot leave without his per-
mission. This practice brings about
such condition that fewer trains are
operated over French double-track
line than could be handled over an
American single-track line equipped
with block signals and dispatchers.

Suction Plates on Bata.

Certain bats appear to have found
their hpoklike thumbs and hind feet
insufficient for suspension and have
made use OF the suction principle for
this purpose. This mode OF suspen-
sion has been developed independently
In two distinct bats, one native OF
Brazil and the other Of Madagascar.
In the Brazilian species the suckers
take the form Of stalked discs attach
ed to the palms Of the thumbs and the
soles OF the feet. The suckers of the
Malagasy species are horseshoe like.
BY means OF the suckers these bats
are able to ascend vertical surfaces.
Very curious it is to note the similar
ity between the suckers of these bats
and those on the arms of the cuttle-
fishes.

HERE BIRDS FIND SANCTUARY
Area In Delta Of Yukon River, Value
less for Other Purposes, 10 Now

The most important, and by far the
largest in extent, Of our national
"refuges" for the preservation of wild
birds is vast area in the delta OF
the Yukon river, proclaimed as such
by nm edict from the White House
just ten years ago.
1t Is an area approximately equal
to Massachusetts, and the most valu-
able feather species concerned are
wild geese and Wild ducks, which breed
there in countless nnmbers.
There is found the proper home OF
the ".'nlperor' goose, the "white-
fronted' goose and many species Of
ducks which are sought as game In
other ATTITUDES.
The region is known as tundra
"ountry"-devoid Of trees. swampy,
with many lakes, and Of no possible
usefulness for agriculture or any 9th
or purpose. If, however, the wildfowi
are there safrguarded on their breed

First Fake Boards.

The Jews were responsible for the
first false boards that were ever worn,
so far as known. They did not wear
them themselves, but they caused the
Egyptians to do so. The. Egyptians
had long gone with smooth faces, but
when the Jews came over to stay with
them, the people of the Nile quickly
absorbed the idea that a bearded man
was associated with strength, nobility
of character and perhaps prowess. So
it quickly came about that whenever
the Egyptians wanted to hold cele-
bration in which certain persons were
to be exalted, the objects OF popular
acclaim wore false boards.

LAYS ONLY ONE KILLING
TO ENCLEHART, SUICIDE

Mrs. Alice Allen was slain by Joseph
F. Englehart. who later committed
suicide. and Mrs. Annie Sloates and
Thomas Smyth came to their death by
pistol shots fired by some unknown
person, in the opinion Of 4 coroner's
Jury which held an inquest at Laurel
,st night over the bodies Of the four
persons killed last Saturday night at
Oakcrest, near Laurel, Nd
County authorities who Investigated
the case held the belief that the two
women and Smyth were murdered by
Englehart while in a drunken frenzy.
and the verdict<of the jury came as
surprising climax to the inquest, in
the opinion of DR.. Thomas H Baldwin,
the coroner, and Deputy Sheriff Tom
Garrison.
DR.. Baldwin. following tho verdict of
the coroner's jury, reiterated his opinion
that Englehart had murdered the three
victims and later shot himself. Deputy
Sheriff Garrison was of the same opinion
today, and Charles Engelhart. q brother
of the alleged slayer. said he believed
Joseph F. Englehart was the muir
derer of the two women and Smyth.
No new evidence was brought out
at the coroner's inquest, 1t was stated
today, and the verdict leaving the re-
sponsibiMty for the deaths of two Of
the victims undetermined is said to
have been a surprising one to the
community.
Investigation by the authorities has
developed that Englehart came homo
intoxicated from Baltimore late Satur-
day afternoon and in an ugly mood
Judging from the position of the body
of Smyth, Englehart's friend who
boarded with Mrs. Sloates. a sister
of EnElehart, Smyth is believed to
have died instantly from a pistol shot
from Englehart's weapon. Smyth was
found alf-reclining on a lounge with
a pipe freshly filled with tobacco in
one hand and an innsbruck match in
the other. Mrs. Sloates' body was
found on the threshold of the rear
door of the house and officials believe
that after Englehart had shot Smyth,
Mrs Sloates and Mrs. Allen had start
ed to run from the house. when a shot
from Englehart's pistol killed Mrs.
Sloates. Mrs. Allen is believed to have
been overtaken by Englehart while
running through the woods to her
home and shot.
Englehart was declared by the
Baltimore coroner to have been q
suicide. He died Sunday in Balti-
more hospital
