Probably Fastest Running Animal.

One of the fastest as well as one of
the most interesting animals known is
the cheetah, the hunting leopard of In
dia. These animals, on account of the
great speed which they attain, are
tanned by the Indians and trained to
hunt antelOpes. While the hunted an
telOpe, which can clear a 1O-foOt feDce
without apparent effort at a single
leap, is at the height of a burst of
frightened speed the cheetahs are re-
leased. They stretch along the ground,
gaining on the antelopes every second.
and finally bring them down with a
well-timed bound which places the
fangs of the cheetah in the throat of
the quarry. The hunters at once cut
the throat of the antelope, and the
cheetah drinks the blood. Next the
thigh of the antelope is slit open and
the cheetah tears away a small portion
of the game he has captured. This is
his reward His muzzle is replaced.
and he is placed in his cage until the
next hunt.
While the cheetah is known as
leopard. he is not a true feline. He
has the arching body of a greyhound
and the feet of dog, while his head
is distinctly that of cat. The animal
is rarely seen in the public geological
collections for the reason that he soon
dies because of the lack of exercise.

The Army of the Disabled.

The international labor bureau at
Geneva has prepared statistics showing
the number of men disabled during the
great war. France leads the list with
100000 soldiers crippled or other
wise permanently injured; Germany
runs a close second with 1 100000. AL
lowing for the smaller population of
France. this means that French indus
try must support a heavier burden of
the incapacitated than German. Great
Britain contributes 10000 TO the
army of disabled; Italy, $4,000; the
United States, 100000; CzechO-SlOva-
kia, 10000; Jugo-Slavia, 100000; Po-
land, 100000; Canada, $4,000; Rou-
mania, $4,000: Belgium, 10000. Ex-
cept for Germany and parts of the old
Austria Hungary which are now allied
states, the statistics of former enemy
countries are lacking. Russia diSabil-
ity statistics are also wanting. But
even without these the army of the
disabled reaches the impressive and
terrible total of more than 100000

OF ODD DESIGN
Timepieces of Long Ago Were
Masterpieces of Art.
Of Watches CT Peculiar and
Grewsonne Shape.

The fragile watch of dainty pattern
among women is in striking contrast
10 some of the watches which were IA
nous centuries ago.
Many of these were of enormous
size and of the most ornate design, re-
marks a writer in the Dearborn In
dependent :
Mary Queen of Scots was the pos
SCISSOR of a deaths head watch which
was of silver gilt and most elaborate
ly ornamented. The forehead of the
skull bore the symbols OF death, the
scythe and hourglass placed between
palace and cottage TO show the inn
partiality of the grim destroyer. At
the back of the skull was Time, de-
stroying all things, and at the top of
the head, scenes of the Garden of Eden
and the crucifixion. The watch was
opened by reversing the skull. plac-
ing the upper part of it in the hollow
of the hand and lifting the jaw by
the hinge, this part being enriched by
engraved representations of the holy
trinity, angels and shepherds with
their flOcks. The works of the watch
formed the brains of the skull and
were within a silver envelope which
acted as a muSically-tOned bell, while
the dial plate was in the place of the
palate. The curious work of art was
made at Blois and, at her death, was
bequeathed by Mary Queen of Scots
to her maid of honor Mary Seton, in
1857. 1t afterward came into the
possession of Sir John Dick Lander.
Another skull watch which once be-
longed to Mary Queen of Scots by its
Inscription and date, 1860, shows
that Francis ii of France presented
1t to his young wife many years be-
fore watches were supposed to have
been brought TO England from Ger
many.
Queen Mary was evidently collect
or of watches of unique design. She
is said to have possessed one in a
case of crystal, shaped like a coffin,
and another made at Rouen, in which
a thread of catgut supplied the place
of chain.
Some of the early watches were SO
small as to be set in the head of
walking sticks, the clasp of bracelets,
or in pendants, and there is a record
OF striking watch which was
mounted in a ring, in the year 1912.
At the Strawberry Hill sale Queen
Victoria purchased a little clock of
brass-gilt. which had been presented
to Anne Boleyn by Henry VIII, upon
their marriage in 1882. 1t is richly
chased and engraved and is still at
Windsor castle.
The clock placed in one of the tow
ers at the palace at Hampton court
in 1901 is said to be the oldest Eng
lish-made clock eXtant. When in ac-
ton it shows the motions of several
of the planets. The dial and several
OF the wheels attached to the back of
the dial still remain.

Carrier Pigeons Swift Flight.

carrier pigeon, the record of
which has been used for the purpose
of comparison with the performance
of mau on the 220-yard course, was
the property of A. E. Hartman. The
race took place at Washington, where
this sport is very frequently INDUCED
in. The record of this particular flight
is preserved in the records in the Mu-
scum of Natural History, and was TAX
en- from the Washington Star of Sep
TENDER II, 1901 According to the
best authorities available, the record
made by Mr. Harman's pigeon has
never been equaled, although it was
established almost two decades ago.
On this occasion the race was be-
tween about 20 birds. The pigeon of
Mr.. Hartman came in first, and his best
time was LISP yards for the first min
ute of flight, which means Z 463-S91
seconds for 220 yards.
So, of the four official records it
will be noted that while runner has
made his 900 yards in 20 As seconds,
the carrier pigeon is almost three
times as fast.

Great Hotel Is Uncontrolled.

If our civilization passes, Martians
of the future who explore the site of
Twentieth century London will Won
der at the steel skeleton of frames
and Orders, seven stories high that
rises above Piccadilly.
The structure was started seven
years ago. 1t was intended to be the
Park Lane hotel and would have been
one of the most elegant and best stu
ated hotels of England. But since the
outbreak of the war not a stroke of
work has been done on the structure.
Today it stands just as it stood when
the last workman left it in 1914.
The year 1921, with tight money,
labor troubles and high costs, is not
"a good time to start building expensive
hotels. No buyers are in sight, and
it is improbable that any will appear.

CHARM IN ULD GRAVE YARDS
Pleasant Spots Where One May
Mediate on the Fleeing Pro-
cession of Life.

There is a charm about old grave
yards. They are to us, says the Spring
field Republican, what mellow autumn
afternoons cannot express. They are
deserted old houses. haunted by former
owners. In them is the reminder of
other days that makes up the atmos-
phere of old theaters where many ia
nous Hamlets and Lady Teazles have
trOd the boards. There one can follow
1.-THE hoary chronicle of the ages" back
to the beginning of time.
There are little graveyards by the
sea with waving grasses and wild Gin
namon pinks where sea captains are
laid to rest. There are others shut off
from the business section of large
cities by gates that close at shutdown,
where the founders of the city find
peace after their laborS. Into these
secluded spots pert Notwithstanding
stenographers go TO eat their MONDAY
lunch and discuss their new hats and
new beauX. with only an occasional
one more imaginative than her friends
TO give a thought to the long dead<and
life. There are still other graveyards
with clipped hedges and formal garden
plots, reminiscent of the clipped and
patterned lives that have been care
fully laid away there to rest. Hedged
In by convention all their lives and
Swallowed by cypress-hedges and cy-
press are their lot after death.
However graveyards differ. they are
all a friendly resting place for the idle
wanderer or the vagabOnd poet. A
pleasant picture thar of young Walter
Pater going to the graveyard and sing
ing Greek songs to the birds there.
Pleasant, too. the picture of Thomas
Gray writing his elegy in a country
churchyard
Beware, however, the modern grave
yard. Where granite stands up glisten-
ing in the sun, where flowers are fresh
on new-made graves, and funeral pro-
ceSSiOnS may be met, is not the place
to wander in. There grief is too near
and too new. Choose a Gods acre
where the grass is Overgrown, where
weeping willows and grimacing cher
ubS decorate the stones, and where the
last line of the epitaph is sunk into
the ground. Every graveyard has at
least it old part, mellOwed by the
passing of time.

Not Exactly.

Aunt Jane, who was a spinster,
came to visit her sister and family of
four children. And from the very first
auntie was very much given to offer
ing advice to her sister on the way to
feed, dress and treat her children gen.
orally. The sister listened in perfect
good humOr, but not SO Sally, her eff
cient helper. And frankly, Sally said
so. Look here, Miss Jane" she be-
gan, what do old maids like you and
me know about raisin' children? We
hain't never had none and a person
has to have children to know how to
raise them"
Aunt Jane smiled a tolerant smile.
ooh, not always, Sally she returned.
Nov, take those little chickens out
there. Don't you think you know
more than their mother? You feed"
But Sally interrupted her. 'Yas,
ma am, l feed them, if that's what you
mean. But l hain't never yit taught
any of them to scratch-have I?"-In-

Boot SoIes Fertilizers.

Many devices have been suggested
for the utilization of old army boot
soles, the chief being concerned with
fuel production. But periodical, the
Fertilizer, proposes to use them for
stimulating the growth Of beans and
peas.
The plan suggested is that of car
bombing part of the leather into lamp

foot in ones mouth; but even that is a
way of making both ends meet.-Lon-

Chickens Sinoed With AcetyIene.

One of the most recent uses for
acetylene is for smuggling chickens. 1t
is said that the acetylene flame, prop
erly used, performs this operation in a
small fraction of the time usually re-
quired, that it removes the last YES
tige of feathers from the fowl, and
that the burning off is accomplished
without scorching the skin or heating
the delicate flesh
This is no more remarkable than the
use of acetylene in removing paint
from canvas, which is done without
even the slightest injury to the fab
ric.-POpular Science Monthly.
