the astrologer had received from IN,
person written to. Though not S,
years ago, and impossible as it ma,
seem, there were people who asked
him to send the divining rod. i
generally arrived a brass stair roc
with a glas bulb on its end. The di
rectlons were to take it out on moon.

II there were any gold or buried
treasure within three feet of it, grains
OF sand would be found adhering tc
the glass bulb.
To these people, who, as time
went on. kept demanding their
money, he wrote that lately the
grattlness of the men on Wall Street
had been too much for even as as
trologer. If, at any time, from their
letters he got hints that his clients
bad been investing elsewhere, ter
rible was his rebuke. Il detect an
EVIL influence over you. You have
not kept the faith necessary to make
the charm complete and you have
ruined all, yourself"
But no matter how the business
had proceeded, whether his clients
had demanded the money at once,
whether they had reinvested or
whether they had taken the divining
rod and it was not working too we'll,
they all got the same letter in 4 new
handwriting, in the end. Dear
friend the astrologer is getting very
inhrm. He has just been stricken
with pneumonia"
Afterwards, perhaps, they would
get an epistle from their old "friend"
bemoaning the lot of an astrologer
when he grew old. Everything goes
against me in this year 1876. What
has come over me? At time I fail to
see the future that even the most
commonplace person could see. I
cannot, at this time even recall what
! told you.''
There is reason to believe that
many of his thousands of believers
did not receive this last consolation.

WHY
Do Things Smell Differently?

Do ImngS Smell Differently?
Like the other four senses-sight
and sound, taste and touch-that oi
smell IS due to some impression
which is made upon the delicate
nerves leading directly to the BRAIN
nerves which in this case are located
inside the nostrils. Different gases
or chemical compounds affect these
nerves in different manners, precise
ly as different substances produce
varying effects upon our nerves of
taste, and it is possible to develop
s,is sense so keenly that one can in
sanity distinguish between two per-
AkSsee which, to TIE ordinary person,
would appear precisely the same.
Certain objects, however, have a
very strong and unrlistakable effect
upon the nerves of smell and, among
these, is sulphur. Here the odor is
as distinctive as that of an onion or.
to draw more pleasant comparison
that of rose. Sulphur, however, is
one of the principal ingredients of
rotting vegetable or animal matter
and. because of its association with
spoiled eggs which contain a con-
siderable proportion OF hydrogen sui
phlde, is distinctly offensive. Before
the decomposition OF the eggs gives
rise to the presence Of the sulphur,
however, the odor IS either imper-
4Satible or innocuous-which gives
us the clue to the whole question OF
why different substances have differ
ent chemicals, the combination OF
which is either pleasant or unpleas-
ant.

-e-------- DEATH VALLEY IS NOW
 BELIEVED TO BE SAFE
By Associated Press

Los Angeles, Cal, June 11.-Death Valley and the desert surrounding it have at last been made safe for trav- elers in the belief of officials of the Automobile club of Southern Califor. nia-
 Employes of the club have returned home with the announcement that they have completed the work of erecting metal guide signs in the al- most trackless wastes of the valley, and that motorists no longer need fear to traverse it.
 All water holes and wells have been so marked they can be found without trouble either at night or day, it is stated.
 The guide signs erected were made of metal so unappreciative travellers could not use tn emfor fire wood
 More than year was consumed in charting the valley and in making and erecting the signs.

ANITA STEWART IS
 STAR AT TIE ROYAL
"CIoyer's Rebellion" Fine Comedy Drama, With CIey-
 CT Climax, Is the Offering

Anita Stewart in "Clover's Rebel 1ion." comedy with melodramatic twist of James Oliver Curwood is the feature attraction at the Royal thea tre for Monday, Tuesday and We'd nesday of this week. The latest Pathe News showing the world s most recent events and Snub Pol lard comedy will be the added fea- lures shown.
 "Clover's Rebellion is type of comedy drama that has been so sue cessful for the past two years and develops an absorbing mystery be- fore the final close out. The mystery baffles the spectator, although the shot that kills the Duke is fired in full view of the audience and every person that had access to the revol- yer is accounted for at all times. The average person is greatly surprised when the truth is revealed, for evil dence points to every one except the real culprit. Anita Stewart has very clever role and wins her way to the heart as Clover Dean, a girl who fels that she should choose her own husband.
 Duke Boris finds favor with Clover's guardians and an engage ment is forced. Naturally the girl who is in love with a young physi- elan, rebels. Two suitors resent the cunning of the Duke and with a mysterious woman, plot against him. All concerned have an opportunity to fire the shot that wounds the Duke. Each one takes aim and yet the spectator has no idea who did the deed. Later Dr. Edmann is seen struggling with a mysterious figure, and soon after Glover disappears; the physician also flees and the mys- tery deepens.
 But "Clover's Rebellion" is a com edy and just at the point where ex- citement reaches fever heat, clever bit of humor is introduced, partly to throw the spectator off the scent and n a rtIx, tn ct apo+ba1 ha ol;p,o-

ONE RAILROAD THAT
 REPORTS A PROFIT
By Associated Press

Manila. P. l., June 1.-The annual report of the Manila Railroad com pany, which is owned by the Philip pine government, shows operating revenue for 1920 of $3,9S3,O00 and operating expenses of $4,933.00O. Af- ter deductions for fixed charges and taxes, the report shows a profit for the year of $11,900.
 Commenting on the inroads which the motor truck has made into rail- road traffic the report says: The present situation is untenable and in the absence of an adequate tax measure the government is con- fronted with the alternative of sub sidizing it's rail and water lines or restricting the operation of trucks to non competing routes"
 The company operates approx imately eco miles of railroads, and the total assets, according to the report, amount to $40,600, 900.
