BEASTS MAKE GOOD ON FILMS
Eastern Journal Makes Unkind Com
parison Between Four-Footed and
Human Actors.

It was said at a recent meeting Of
the London Geological society that the
plan of making, and keeping on record,
films of rare ANIMALS lad been entered
upon with considerable success, the
natural movements of the beasts hav-
ing been reproduced on the screen in
a most interesting and instructive
manner. 1t is, indeed reasonable to
suppose that the four-legged film act
ors may even be more successful, from
an artistic standpoint, than their hu-
man colleagues; first, because their
motions are naturally Ineligible with
out the accompaniment of spoken Ian
guage; and second, because they can
not be trained, as movie" performers
apparently are, to chop up their move
ments into limited number of stereO-
typed gestures, in more or less regular
sequence, which audiences presumably
know by heart and may anticipate
well in advance.-Christfan Science

from their perches by the approaching
figure. flew down the trail in front.
Cranston pressed back the hammer Of
his rifle. The click sounded loud in
the silence. He had grown tense and
still, and the leaves no longer rustled.
His eyes were intent on little
clearing, possibly one hundred yards
I'D the trail. The trail itself went
straight through it. And in an in
slant more, Hildreth pushed through
the buckbrush and stood revealed in
the moonlight.
If there is one quality that means
success in the mountains it is con-
slant, unceasing self-control. Gram
ston thought that he had it. But per
haps he had waited too long for Hill
dreth to come; and the strain had told
on him. He had sworn to take no
false steps; thai every motion he
made should be cool and sure. He
didn't want to attract Hfldreth'c at
tention by any sudden movement. All
must be cautious and stealthy. But
in spite Of all these good resolutions,
Cranston's gun simply leaped to his
shoulder In one convulsive motion at
the first glimpse Of his enemy as he
emerged into the moonlight.
The end of the barrel struck
branch of the .shrubbery as It went
up. It was only soft sound; but in
the utter silence It travelled far. The
gun barrel caught the moonlight as 1t
leaped. and Hildreth saw It's CLINT in
the darkness.
He was looking for trouble. He had
drended this long walk to the settle
ments more than any experience of
his life. He didn't know why the let
ter he had written. asking for an
armed escort down to the courts, had
not brought results. But it was
wholly possible that Cranst On would
have answered this question FOR him.

strange pillars Of ebony. Bert Gran
ston knelt in a brush covert, his rifle
loaded and ready in his lean, dark
hands.
No wolf that ran the ridges, no
cougar that waited on the deer trails
knew wilder passion, more terrible
bleod-lust than he. It showed in his
eyes, narrow and never resting from
their watch of the trail: it was i'll his
posture; and it revealed itself unmls-
takably in the curl of his lips. Some
thing like hot steam was in his brain,
blurring his sight and heating his
blood.
The pine needles hung wholly mo-
tionless above his head but yet the
dead leaves on which he knelt crinkled
and rustled under him. Only the keen
est ear could have heard the sound;
and possibly in his madness, Cranston
himself was not aware of it. And one
would have wondered "a long time as
to what caused It, It was simply that
he was shivering all over with hate
and fury.
A twig cracked, far on the ridge
above him. He leaned forward, peer
ing. and the moonlight showed his
face in unsparing detail. 1t revealed
the deep lines, the terrible, drawn
lips, the ugly hair long over the dark
ears. His strong hands frightened
upon the breech of the rifle. His wiry
figure grew tense.
OF course it wouldn't do to let his
prey come too close. Landy Hildreth
was good shot too, young as Gran
ston. and of equal strength; and no
sporting chance could be taken in this
hunting. Cranston had no intention
of giving his enemy even the slightest
chance to defend himself. If Hildreth
got down into the valley, his testi-
mony would make short work of the
arson ring. He had the goods; he had
been a member Of the disreputable
crowd himself.
The mans steps were quite distinct
by now. Cranston heard him fighting
his. way through the brush thickets,
and once a flock Of grouse, frightened

The Truth on the Tax Books.

The sole purpose of the revaluation
act was to make the tax books OF
North Carolina spea kthe truth. II at
any time the tax books fail to tell the
truth then the spirit Of the revalua-

of truth now calls for a revision OF

Washington, ID. c.. July 10.
The Fordney tariff bill to-day took
on the appearance Of a corrected ex-
animation paper of a high school boy
who Is about to funk"
After putting asphalt on the free
list as the result of pleas that road
building should be encouraged. the
House at the request Of the Ways and
Means Committee marked up" the
bill with fifty or sixty minor amend
ments to perfect" the text. The ac-
ton plainly left the inference that the
measure was hurriedly thrown to-
gether and was not the result of care
full elaboration by the committee.
While Democrats, eager to attack.
watched every move of Republican COM
mittee members, the latter one after an
other moved amendment after amend
ment to strike out comma there. put
in period there or scatter semicolons
through the bill In many places the
bill as before the House did not read
smoothly and contained manifest errors.
For instance, duty of Is cents pound
appeared on ginger root. 1T should
have been Is per cent. ad valorem, which
is considerably different. In one place
duty of per cent. was levied. but
member of the committee said 1t should
have been Is per cent.
Representative Garner (Tex.) charged
that the bill was the most imperfect
child ever presented to the House and
predicted the country would lose conf
dence in it Representatives Sears
(Fla) said the committee did not know
what 1t was doing in levying a duty of
~ cents each on pineapples.
This will mean," he said, that every
box will have to be opened and counted.
A pineapple selling for IS cents will
pay the same duty as one selling for 40.
That is ridiculous The duty should
be based on the number of pounds. as
has been done in the past
In other instances various fractions
were omitted and mistakes In the duties
on shelled walnuts and almonds were
found. The committee found 1t had
also forgot to define many classes of
metal alloys, and these amendments
were inserted In the bill.
The work of correcting will be con-
tinued tomorrow.

The general direction of Italy's policy.
Signor Bonomi said, would not change.
The foreign policy was tied down by en-
gagements freely entered into. to which
Italy desired to remain faithful as well
as to work for the reconstruction Of a
better Europe, he added.

The decision to have the Senate repre-
scnted on the American delegation was
made known at the White House, and

ignoring the body which has coordinate
authority with hinl In settling foreign
affairs. The announcement was con-
fined to the statement that the Senate
would contain both Republicans and
Democrats That will be determined
later by the President.
Senators Lodge (Mass) and Knox
(Pa.) are frequently suggested in this
connection. 1t is also suggested that the
President might place Senator Borah

ference. Senator Shield (Tenn.) has
been named as possible Democratic
member. He opposed ratification of the
Versailles treaty with the League of Ma
tions in the last Congress.
Samuel Gompers's request that labor
be represented on the American delega-
ton has opened flood of speculation
If labor is to be specially represented
it is assumed that agriculture will want
special representation with other private
organizations seeking to be included. No
official comment was made on Mr.. Com
pers's request.
The suggestion that has been made that
the conference be held In the Senate
