nEaster Riding" in Bohemia.

In various parts of Bohemia, now
the principal state of the new Czecho-
SlOyak republic, curious old custom
prevails, that Of "Easter riding" On
each Easter day, at four o'clock in the
morning, the riders assemble, dressed
In black and carrying crosses, flags and
other emblens. From Schonwald they
proceed on tllree-heurs' ride to
Kuhn, where they attend service. The
priest, after Il sermon wherein lie re-
fers to the horse as symbol OF pow
.er, hestows his benediction on the ami
mails and their riders. This done, the
riders visit the -neighboring castles,
where they receive hospitality, subse-
quently making their way homeward,
escorted by band and large crowd.
The origin Of this curious custom is
lost In the mists of antiquity.

For the first time North aud South
America are to be linked together by
regular wireless communication. De-
spite the progress in wireless elec-
tricity the region of the equator has
continued to set up barrier against

powerful currents could not penetrate
the mysterious resistance known as
"static." Now, at last. this problem
has been solved Great high power
stations in the United States can now
communicate with similar stations in

waves will orerleap every barrier and
be read an instant later on the south

PIPE MAKERS USING BIRCH

"a Special Process

American birch since the war has ac-
utircd q South American name. Nova
DAYS it is fashioned into pipes and
then called something besides birch.
Tie only evident reason for the
change seems to be the fact that the
process that converts soft birch into
hard pipe was originated in Latin
American country, according to the
New York Evening Sun.
Brentwood owes its new name and
it's present prominence in the pipe in
dustry to The war, which cut off the
supply of hriar and sent the prices
of the stocks in America sky high.
Substitutes have been sought for
the expensive imported briar. The ces-
sation of iIpportations with the war

SITES the search for an American wood
that would provide a suitable substi-
tute.
Many native hardwoods were tried
without success. Most Of them were
either ton hard to be worked into pipes
or too heavy to rest comfortably be-
tween a smokers LIPS. Then some
one hit on The eXpedient of trying IL
soft wood and employing process that
would give it the required hardness for
use in pipe manufacturing. Birch was

MAY DEVELOP GUM MARKET
Opening of Mesopotamia to Civiliza.
tion Likely to Add Largely to the
Worlds Supply,

AS Inv and order come INTO the wild
and unsettled mountains of MesopO-
tamia, especially when new roads and
the. eventual railway connect the
northern Kurdish country around Mo-
sui with the rest of the world, many
now useless tree and shrub will
doubtless be put to service as a con-
tributor of gum. The gums of MesO-
potalaia have many commercial uses.
and the unsystematic tapping and
trading that now brings the product
on pack animals to Suleimanaya.
where merchants buy 1t from the
kurtls and sell 1t again to other mer.
chants in Bagdad, is q mere sugges-
ton of the industry that may be de-
veloped by enterprising promoters who
may have observed the extent of this
natural resource in Mesop0tamla and
looked further afieid than Aleppo and
Bagdad for markets. Now that Brit
ish occupation has opened the land to
western ideas. 1t would not be sur
prising If the gum industry grew to be
source of considerable national
wealth, and an important factor In
creating new MesOpotamia.

Oil Wells Detected Electrically.

New uses for electricity are con-
stantly appearing. One of the latest
is the detection of crude oil In the
earth instead Of boring for>it.
1t is stated that crude petroleum
has been located electrically in the
shallow oiIfield near Corsicana, Texas,
and that further tests are being made
around Burkburnett. A series of bat
teries is used for the test, the negative
terminal being connected to a wire
which is dropped into dry waterho'e-
valley or indentatiOn, and the positive
terminal being connected to a "land
wire which is used to make contact
Mt various points on the surface of the
field investigated. 1t is stated that
the higher electrical resistance OF oil
compared with other constituents OF
the earth, permits it to be located by.
the reduced DETECTION of a sensitive
instrument in the circuit.
