GRANTED BENEFIT OF ORDEAL
Native African Accused of Witchcraft Not Condemned Before Given So-
 Called "TriaI."

A clear distinction must be made be- tween fetish and witchcraft. says writer in the Wide World Magazine The former is regarded by the black man as perfectly legitimate; the lat ter he looks upon with hatred, and all over Africa summary methods are used, as in olden days in England, with witches.
 One or other of the law-god-cult SO cieties-thOSe secret societies bearing such names as Purroh Cru, EgbO. Uk ukiwe, etc.-intervenes, and a trial by ordeal follows In fact, anyone can claim that right. A says to B: "You're a witch" "Tm not '" calculates B, who immediately takes a calabar bean and swallows it. B dies. or is very sick; therefore he is the guilty per son, and this long before the elaborate mechanism of the law society has heard of the dispute.
 If B wants to have big paaver and run himself and his accuser into a lot of expense, he has right to call in the aid of the society; but he needn't.
 Witchcraft is a dangerous word to use in an African village. Miss Kings ley relates that you have only to shout "Ifot'' at man or woman in Calabar. or "Ndo tchi" in Fjortland, and the whole population, so good-tempered the moment before, is turned blood thirsty. But. mind you, the ordeal must prove the guilt first, before the witch is literally torn to pieces."N-

GOT FACTS SLIGHTLY MIXED
Representative Osborne Evidently Had Net Taken Keen Notice of Posi-
 tion of Sherman Statue.

One of the best speeches Tn the house in years came from Representa- tive Osborne of California the day of the Pershing parade, says the Los An geles Times. Having been one of the soldiers who marched up Pennsylva- mia avenue at the close of the Civil war for a final review by General Sherman, he was able to draw beau- tiful and striking contrast with the return of the veterans of 1919.
 At one point In the address the rep resentative spoke feelingly of how Sherman, at the head of the column, at Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue had turned on his horse and looked back at the advancing veter- ans.
 Thus" said Mir Osborne, "the fig ure of Sherman, cast in bronze, sits to- day at the head of Pennsylvania ave nue. as he sat that day more than fif- ty years ago"
 The reference to the Sherman statue aroused great interest and many were the pilgrimages made to the statue within the next few days to see how Sherman looked gazing down the ave nue. But horror of horrors It de- veloped that Sherman was looking not toward the advancing column, but to- ward the White House, which stands in an opposite direction.
 Now Osborne is looking for the man who placed it thus.

She wanted to do that much, she said, for her daughters memory; but she did not tell Arthur that she took mon- ey which should have gone instead to pay a long-standing grocer's bill. It was easy to see where poor Theodora got some of her shiftless habits.
 And so 1t happened that Arthur Brooks commenced life anew with much wisdom and no incumbrances.
 It was a snowy night, and there were gathered about the wide fire place in the library at the club several men, rather good friends, all of them. The club itself spoke eloquently of the wealth which supported it. There were long mahogany reading tables lighted by redshaded electroliers, great leather easy chairs, and thick rugs which cost fabulous prices. Only a rich man could afford to seek en- trance here.
 Yet. as it often happens even among rich men, these friends, grown communicative under the gentle stim- ulus of their after-dinner cigars. were discussing the cost of living and the financial aspects of married life. One, a robust, red-cheeked old fellow, ex- banded genially for the benefit of his attentive audience.

I'd do the same thing over again. I'd advise ~any man to marry young, if he finds the one girl he can love. You see, it makes all the difference in the world when you have each other"
 A young man sitting near the fire laughed suddenly. He rose, stretched himself lazily. and yawned.
 "I don't believe it." he interrupted. "A man-especially if he's poor-has no business to get married. What Is 1t they say? He travels fastest who travels alone There's sense for you.
 "What's your opinion, Brooks? I'm right, am I nOt?"
 He turned for confirmation to an- other one of the party.
 But the man whom he addressed did not answer.
 Arthur Brooks pillowed his head in his arms on the polished mahogany table and uttered a stifled groan.

Lava Under Ranuer Field?

Geologists believe that continued oil operations in the Ranger field, should they attain depth of one mile under the surface, will prove the existence of a live lava bed, Ranger (TeX) correspondent of the New York Eve ming Sun writes. In the region of Caddo oil drillers have discovered that bits of the drills show evidences of in- tense heat within 3,2OO feet of the surface, and the heat at that depth is sufficient to discharge shots of nitro- glycerin without the use of fulmi mating cap.
 peculiarity of the Ranger field in Stephens county is the number of ere vases encountered in drilling through the black lime. These crevasses are filled more or less with oil-yielding sand and when this sand is "shot" the flow of petroleum rushes to the surface. Whether this rush is aided by the subterranean heat is problem atical, but it is believed that the heat has a great deal to do with the rush of the oil.

Turtle Eggs in Chow.

Boiled turtle eggs are a novelty which has been added to the mess of the United States marines on duty at the naval station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
 Two 20O-pound turtles were cap- tured recently by marines while sail ing a small boat on the bay. When they were killed more than 100 eggs were found in each.
 The egg of the turtle when re- moved from the body has soft shell. The egg itself is about the size of a hons egg. The inside resembles in taste and appearance the yolk of l.. n'S egg.
 The eggs are boiled hard, and the >!tcIl Is peeled off like the outer skin . an onion.

By use of photography, a method invented by c. A. Hovie, an electrical engineer of Schenectady, wireless mes sages can be received and recorded at far greater speed and with more ac- curacy than heretofore The inven- tion permits the eye either to supple ment or replace the ear in reading wireless messages The machine has reached a rate of 400 words a min ute, and in test as many as 600 words. Up to this time the most rapid meth ed of recording radio signals has been by phOnograph, but this must still be transcribed, so to speak, by the. ear and not the eye, and moreover no permanent visual record Is made

Baby and His o.

Santa Claus brought an educational board to Baby Jack Woerner, son of MT. and Mrs. c. A. Woerner, IT,, 3918 Graceland avenue. He took more in- terest in the new board than in any of his toys and after a few evenings of diligent study, with mother as in- structor, he could pick out most of the letters of the alphabet. O became his favorite letter, however, and any thing resembling that letter in shape was an O to him. One evening mother was asking him to point out his eyes, nose, chin, mouth, etc., which he did with much success. Finally she point ed to his ear and asked: "What is that?" After short pause, he glanced across the room at his new educational board and answered: ''That's my O."-Indianapolis News.

Harmful Dust in Factories.

The dust in various industrial es- tablishments is found by Professor Winslow of Yale Medical school. to range from about One-twentieth of a grain of solid particles per 100 cubic feet of air in a good metal polishing shop to 12 grains in textile factory. But while carpet or blanket mill yields more dust than such industries as pottery, asbestos, tobacco and steel grinding, little of it is inorganic mat ter, and it is the dust from abrasive materials that seems most harmful and to tend most to produce tubercu- lOSiS.

c+;u Relieve In Fairies.

A case just heard in the Tipperary courts reveals the survival in Ireland of 2 belief in the fairies. It was claim for compensation for cutting trees and bushes around a fort at Shanbally. The claimant said he espe- cially valued these bushes as there was dancing and lights there every night"
 It was alleged that the defendant had taken away the bushes to ev1ct the fairies.
 The judge pointed out that If there were fairies they would visit their an- ger on the man who dared to cut the bushes and not on the owner. He did not accept the fairy theory and dismissed the claim.

Wild Section In Southern France,

An almost forgotten region lately pointed out by Samuel Wells to the Liverpool Geographical society is southern and midland France, with the desert lands on the Mediterranean. Here the wild horse and a breed of buffaloes are still extant, and great rocks, gerges and caverns are features of the country. The immense caves abound in remains of the stone and bronze ages, while wonderful stalac- tites hang from the roofs. The build ings show architecture centuries old. especially that of the Roman period.
