Last Of CaIapooias Dies.

Down around Cottage Grove, Ore,
the Old-timers are only discussing what
they remember of the CalapOOia Indian
tribe. The last specimen Of the tribe.
Sam Fern, went to the happy hunting
grounds few days ago and the peo-
pie at Cottage Grove are wondering
what will become Of the land which
the Calapooia tribe was using. Some
Of it is exceptionally fertile land. The
tribe got it's name from the range
Of mountains in that vicinity, or vice
versa, and the Calapooia were always
peaceful band. This tribe went
through the great fire which swept the
coast range about century ago, when
the only way the Indians could save
themselves was to remain in the rivers
for several days. The fire was so in
tense that the water became warm.
Calapooia Indians declared that the
wild animals also fled to the river and
wolves and deer padded around to-
gether in perfect harmony.-Portland

NATURE NEVER IN A HURRY
er, Man Will Learn to Curb His
Foolish Impatience.

We sometimes get impatient at the
slOwness of world improvement. We
see the cruelties Of q great war, cruel
ties beyond belief, and we are sick at
heart to think the world is not in a
mood overnight to abolish war. We
see ignorance leading to poverty and
Indebtedness and we wonder that ed
We see preventable sickness produc-
ing disability and suffering and we
are hopeless at the slow dissemination
of modern medical knowledge and pre-
ventive measures.
And then it is borne in on us that
Nature never is in hurry. Out in
Colorado the Rocky mountains turn
a tumbling sea of peaks toward the
sky. Standing on the summit of Pixies
or Longs and looking off Of that chaos
Of rock one naturally thinks some
frlghtful convulsion Of Nature threw
up these mighty peaks.
But that thought is wrong. Geolo-
gists have learned that the mountain
ranges were slowly and imperceptibly
carved out by the action of rain and
snow and frost and ice. First the
highlands slowly emerged from the
ocean. Then the rains and streams
and glaciers made gullies and left the
peaks. An observer returning at cen
fury Intervals probably would have
seen slight change. But eventually
the work was done and the mountains
made.
That is the way Nature operates.
Man can afford to curb his Impotence.

Hard Luck,

Friends of certain automobile own
err are having lot of fun these days
with story that leaked out about him
after a fire at a downtown garage re-
Gently.
This motorist carried $500 insurance
on his car and had been trying to dis
pose of it for several weeks for about
$500 more than the amount Of the in
Surance.
He kept the machine in the garage
that was burned and, when informed
Of the fire, confidently told his friends
how fortunate he was in having $500
worth Of insurance on machine for
which he had been offered only about
$500.
On arriving at the garage to make
a survey Of the ruins he was met by
one Of the attaches of the place, who
congratulated him on the fact that his
machine was one Of the three or four
that were rescued.--Indianapo News.

IRREPARABLELOS TO WORLD
stroyed by the Huns, Can by No
Possibility Be Replaced.

The completeness with which the
famous library of Louvain was de-
stroyed comes out in the report of
the American committee which has
been visiting the ruin with Il view to
building a new library Of Louvain,
which is to be the "free gift of the
United States" Some OF the walls, pill
lars and buttreSSeS remain standing,
and even retain their carvings and
sculptures, but the idea of rebuilding
the library has been abandoned. OF
the contents of the LOuvain library
nothing at all is left; the few volumes
that were found still retaining their
shape crumbled when touched. Aside
from the thousands of volumes that
can be replaced the ruin contains the
ashes of at least thousand manu-
scripts that were priceless, because it
would be impossible to replace them.
There were, one may admit, more
widely important things in the world,
for example, than the two autograph
manuscripts of DiOnysiuS Carthusien-
sis, but Louvain was proud to possess
those specimens of his handwriting,
and all the wealth Of the United
States cannot give them back.-Chris-
tan Science Monitor.

Don't Blame Mosquito.

We have lately been taught that the
mosquito was the only dissemination OF
malaria, and that we should be safe II
we should get rid of mosquitoes. But
Doctor Roux, farmerly chief physician
of the st. Louis hospital at Jerusaiem'
asserts as the result of his own expert
ence of 20 years and that of many
colonial physicians, that malaria often
exists where there are no mosquitoes
He points out that everywhere in
malarial countries the disease breaks
out lust at the time when the soil is
broken for planting. He does not deny
that the anopheles mosquito spreads
malaria, but he says this is evidently
not the only means Of infection.
The old theory that malaria was
caused by the bad air of swampy dis
tricts or by certain carnations from
the soil may be correct after all.

GODDESS HAS MANY STATUES
sekhmett, or Nut, Egyptian War d.

Favorte With Soul tors.

The arrival at the Metropolitan MI
scum or Art in New York, OF seven
statues of Sekhmett, or Nut, the an
cient Egyptian goddess of war, pur-
chased in England in 1914, reminds
one of the beginnings of modern inter
est in archaeology. for the seven stat
ues, although their history over the
last century seems difficult to trace in
all it's details, were probably among
the earliest results of Egyptian eXca-
vation that came to England. Some
thing over thirty centuries ago Egyp-
tian sculptOrs were carving such stat
ues out of solid blocks Of black gran
tie for the decoration of temples; ana
then in 1850, as the record goes, an
Arab sheik, working at the instigatlon
of Venetian priest, found statue
of Nut in the sand that had accumu-
lated over the ruins Of Karnac. Since
then a good many statues of Nut have
been recovered. and the strange god

WATER OF PECULIAR VIRTUE
Trouble With Philadelphia Visitor Was
That He Didn't Understand Just
o- How to Use It.

Harry N. Taylor, president of the
National Coal association, said in
Washington:
1T takes an optimist to look at the
situation hopefully-an optimist like
Rittenhouse Walnut Of Philadelphia.
"Rittenhouse Walnut, in the days be-
fore Philadelphia got filter plant,
laughed heartily one evening at
friend who complained that the Phila-
delphia water was too muddy to battle
In.
"'Why, my boy said Rittenhouse,
our Philadelphia water is the bes, in
the world for bathing purposes. Why,
it beats Marienbad.'
But it's so muddy
"That's the point said Rittenhouse.
It's medicinal mud, full of phosphates
and calories and things. Tonight you
try Philadelphia water BATH good,
long bath, and you'll feel like new
man. Let me caution sou, though, to
use no towel!
"'No towel?' sneered the other No
towel, EN-?
"'No, sir; no towel said Ritten-
house. Just stand before the radiator
and let the water dry GA you. Then

INVENTOR MAKES WATER TALK
Contrivance Known as "katie" Is
Hailed as a Most Valuable
Aid to Naviqators.

"Katie," one of the most wonderful
inventions exhibited at the recent
shipping engineering exhibition in
London, is likely to prove the most
valuable aid to sea captains and navi-
gators yet discovered. katie is the
name given to the invention of, an en-
gineer, by which he makes water talk.
1t is an automatic float, with SEN
sitive depth-tinding mechanism con-
nected telephonically, and is placed on
the surface Of the water. Another del
icate instrument rests on the bottom,
with wire connection. When an en-
gineer wants to know the depth Of
water at a particular spot he rings up
katie" on the phone and she tells
him the exact depth.
She speaks in soft, jerky buZZes in
the manner of the Morse code, and
when she gets out of her depth she
shutters. If the current is too strong
she becomes speechless. Katie" will
also warn captain how much water
has got into the hold or the engine
room after a collision.
The floating ships safe is another
wonderful invention. 1t automatically
casts itself adrift from sinking ship,
and will send up a distress signal
every hour for twelve hours. A sound
signal is also given, and it will burn
light at night for three months.

Artist VS.. Photographer.

Early in the submarine campaign,
one of our boats was given coat OF
camouflage, and when the vessel sailed
from it's pier in the North river, New
York, the owners sent photographer
two or three piers down the river to
photograph the ship as she went by.
He took the picture, writes A. Russell
Bond, in his Inventions of the Great
War;" but when the negative was de-
veloped, much to his establishment, he
found that the boat was not all on the
plate. In the finder of his camera, he
had mistaken a heavy band of black
paint for the stern Of the ship, quite
overlooking the real stern, which was
painted, a grayish white. The artist
had fooled the photographer and at a
distance Of not more than 200 or 300
yards.

Beliefs About Worlds End.

The Mohammed;lns believe the time
of the end of the world to be a per-
feet secret to all save God alone; the
angel Gabriel himself acknowledged
his ignorance on this point when Mo
hammed asked him about it.
Christianity of all is the least GER
tain about the precise time of the
event. Jesus, telling his disciples Of
the precursory signs of the great Gu
tastrophe, said: "Verily, this genera
ton will not pass before my words
shall be accomplished The first
Christians, accordingly, looked to i'm
mediate fultlIment of the prediction
and believed the end Of the world
near at hand. Although the advent
failed to come. to pass, they claimed
to believe in its near realization. Still,
centuries followed centuries and the
world continued to live.

ROSE ABOVE HUMBLE STATION
Thomas Britton Curious Anomaly
In English Social Life Of Time
Of Queen Anne.

One Of the most curious anomalies
OF the social life of London during
the time of Queen Anne--called the
Augustan age because Of it's great
literary men-waS Il retail dealer in
coal, named Thomas Britton, who was
buried in Clerkenwell churchyard,
London, on October 1, 1714. He exer-
cised a humble craft, and occupied
a habitatiOn and wore garb cores
ponding in plainness to his trade, and
yet this singular man contrived by
his various talents, and more especial
~ his musical tastes, to assemble
around him the most aristOcratic COM
pany in London, and to be admitted
into their society on equal terms. Ac-
cOrding to the practice of the time, he
sold coal in small quantities, deliver
ing it himself each morning. 1t is re-
lated that having finished his rounds,
he Joined a distinguished company
that met each Saturday at one of the
booksellers to discuss literature and
exchange opinions respecting the lat
est books. This company contained
such distinguished and powerful per-
sons as the duke of DevOnShire and
the earls of Oxford, Pembroke, Sun
derland and Winchelsea. Britton's
house in Aylesbury street, Clerken-
well, was the meeting place Of leaders
in the fashionable society of London.
On the ground floor was the ware
house for coal, and above, reached by
breakneck stairs from the outside
was a low narrow room, in which the
musical goldman entertained his grand
and elegant guests A portrait of this
remarkable man is in the British
museum.
