Probably First Moving Pictures.

America Is not the original home Of
the moving picture This assumption
is disproved by an apparatus of an
cient, Siamese civilization recently re-
discovered. The apparatus consists Of
a number of ancient movie machines
unearthed at the National museum in
New York, where they had been hid
den away in boxes since their pre-
sentatiOn to this country by the king
Of Siam in 1875.
The cinematic art as practiced hun
dreds of years ago In Siam was car
ried on as follows: The proper num-
Der of figures, designed from leather
by hand. were mounted on rods and
projected on the screen by the hand Of
the operator. The screen was white
cloth hung between the audience and
the light The shadows were manip-
ulated by the operators pushing the
manikins along in a trough. AS
action advanced through climax and
anti-climax, the operator recited in a
singsong voice five-reel dramas Of the
love and wrongs of the kings and
queens represented.

BELGRADE Hit Hard by War.

Belgrade, the capital Of Serbia and
Jugo Slavia, is now mere shell of its
former self. The Serbs used to be re
markably proud of their metropolis
Did they not possess city with first
class hotels, electric cars, boulevard
good shops and all other modern con
veniences, not to mention profusiOn
Of the coffee houses and gardens SO
dear to the heart Of the Serb?
The coffee houses of Belgrade are
more of an institution than the tavern
ever was in London. A cupful of black
coffee in a public garden, military
band playing the weird Slavic songs
and the young people dancing the old
folk dances on the grass-these repre-
sent the height of contentment to the
Serb after a days work.

FOUND CARDS WERE MARKED
Wounded Soldiers in Hospital
at Washington.

Here is melancholy story about
markers"
Markers are marked playing cards
so that he who plays may read the
backs Of the cards. Wounded soldiers
under treatment in the Walter Reed
hospital in Washington play cards
continually. They use decks which
are given to the hospital, not new
decks, but those which have been
used once by Washington clubs, espe-
cially bridge whist clubs of women in
society.
Keen-eyed soldiers, as the story now
goes, were surprised to discover one
day that some Of the cards were
marked by small knife point indenta-
tions on the border Of the back. The
marking was not accidental.
Scrutiny showed that the high cards
eight spot up to ace-were carefully
marked. The marks were so faint as
to be almost imperceptible, but per-
son familiar with them could read the
backs.
Immediately there was a search for
the card marker, for the soldiers may
gamble bit now and Theoretically
they don't, but actually they-well.
it's nobody's business If one wounded
buck private wishes to wager another
wounded buck private that his five
cards beat t'Other chaps five cards.
Anyhow, If somebody was marking
cards in the hospital the boys
wished to talk to him. But investiga-
ton revealed-and this is where the
hospital soldiers were shocked-that
whatever marking was done took
place before the cards arrived at the
hospital. Not all decks were marked,
only deck now and then.
The inference seems to be that
somebody in Washington club life.
woman's club life at that, is gracious
ly giving the wounded soldiers once
used card decks which have somehow
been knife-pointed. The war veterans
say that they have been shell shocked
and otherwise startled, but they are
vastly amazed at a phase of society
life in Washington.

DIES IN STORM
DR.. RANDOLPH OF UNIVERSITY
OF COLORADO PERlSHES ON
MOUNTAIN HIKE.

Boulder, Colo, April 13.-Dr. Ran
dolph and Elicit left Boulder Friday
afternoon for the North Arapahoe peak
and the western slope of the CONT
mental range.
They desired to get some pictures
of winter scenes and to duplicate the
| feat of a group of students, headed by
Greenman, who made the ascent about
| three weeks ago. They were warned
| against the trip by Greenman because
of storm conditions. They spent Fri
day night at the Adair cabin, two miles
west of EldOra.
A storm that was one of the worst
of the winter, broke Saturday noon and
continued until nearly noon Sunday
| morning.
From the information that Adams
| could gain from Elicit the two men
were caught in the ArapahOe pass and
spent Saturday night in q pup tent.
In returning Sunday they lost their
way and wandered over the mountains
until dark, when they again pitched
tent DR. Randolph was nearly ex-
hausted and died some time in the
night.
Realizing that assistance must be OBJ
tanned, Elicit started down the canon
and met Adams about half way be-
tween the Fourth of July mine and the
Adams cabin. The trapper gave Ell
lett the keys of the cabin and started
out to find Randolph.
Il attempted to follow Elletts
tracks" said Adams over the teie-
phone from Eldora, but found that he
had been wandering around in circles.
| then proceeded to the head of the
pass. where | found one of the pack
and footprints indicating that they had
tried to walk in the snow without their
skis.
Il followed these tracks until J
found Randolph. He was wrapped in
Il blanket and, from all appearances,
had been dead for hours. 1t was 9 40
o'clock in the morning when | found
him. I then proceeded back to the
cabin, where | attended to Elicit. After
he had gone to sleep, | walked to Ell
dora to obtain medical aid"
DR. Randolph was graduate Of the
Missouri School of Mines of ROlla,
Mo-, and of the University of Illinois.
He received doctor of philosophy de-
gree from the latter institution in the
spring of 1916. The following year he
came to the University of Colorado as
an instructor in physics. His ability
soon gained recognition for him and
he was promoted to be associate pro-
fpSSOr.
His former wife, who recently OBJ
tanned a divorce i'll the County Court
in Denver on the ground of cruelty
and was given custody of their son,
lives i'll Kansas City.
Elletts home is at Browning, Mo.
He is a senior student at the Univer-
stiy of Colorado and an assistant in
