Believe me, It didn't take those
French girls long to wise up to Amer

other day. "My buddy and l met a
whole lot in Paris and we got sick OF
them. One day we got a chance to
hike into the country. and when we
spotted q chic little piece sitting by
a brook we figured it would be u re-
freshing change to talk to her.
$50 up we blow, and sure enough
she had the big smile ready. SO I

Makinu Studies of Volcanoes.

The department Of agriculture has
begun the extensive observation of the
volcanoes In the United States and in
sular possessions and has recently
taken formal charge of the observa-
tory on Kilauea, Hawaiian Islands.
Prof. T. A. Jaggar, Jr.. formerly of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
who has been director of the observa-
tory since its foundation, will remain
n charge. The investigations at
Kilauea were begun in 1912 under the
auspices of the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology, and since 1913
have been maintained at the expense
Of the Hawaiian Research association,
consisting chiefly Of residents Of Homo
lulu. It is expected that the weather
bureaus work in volcanology will be
developed In many details and event
ually be extended to Alaska and other
regions under the control of the United
States in which active volcanoes exist.

II YOU Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-

reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly TO a medicine.

HARD TO JUDGE BY SOUND
Nature tIas Not Equipped All Crea-
lures With Vocal Organs Common
surate With Their Size.

1t is a very curious fact that the
loudest sounds are not always made
by the largest animals. The roar OF
the lion exceeds In sonorousness the
cry of the elephant. Anyone who had
only heard, without seeing, bullfrog,
might we'll suppose that Its fearful
voice, breaking the silence of the night,
must certainly come from the throat or
an animal of formidable dimensions
Perhaps the most remarkable case
of vocal power in an animal Is that
encountered by traveller in the high
lands of Borneo. He was informed
BY some natives that they had heard
a tiger roaring In The neighborhood.
Such news Is always startling to a
stranger in the jungles, and hardly less
so to the natives.
An investigation was accordingly set
on foot, which resulted In the dlscov-
cry that fhe alarming roars had been
emitted by toadi This toad of Bor-
neo, however, was by no means an or
binary member of the family. 1t meas
ured no less than 14ls inches around
the body.
That the natives should not have
recognized the true source of the
sound shows that the existence of
such roads was either unknown to
them, or at any rate, they had never
discovered the remarkable vocal capa-
bilitles of the animals.
In this relation Bates tells of an in
cident that occurred during his trav-
els along the Amazon. Among the
many sounds heard in the dense Bra
lillian forests was kind of loud me-
tallic clanking, that sometimes rang
through the trees, ana the origin of
which the traveller was unable to dis
cover. Whenever II was heard, the ma
tlves covered with fear, ascribing 1t
to a supernatural origin. Possibly the
noise was so loud that they missed its
location by searching only for some,
thing of corresponding physical dimen-
siOns.
