ALCOHOL FROM THE JUNGLE7
May Yet Be Economically Manufac
tured From Moist Vegetation of
Tropical Forests.

We clutch at anything as substi-
tute for gasoline. Professor Whitford
Of the Yale school of forestry says
that alcohol could be economically
manufactured from the moist vegeta-
ton of tropical forests and jungles.
1.-THE evidence is conclusive" said Pro-
fessor WhItford, ''that the tropical
sun has the power TO store up more
energy in the form of cellulose in a
given time than has the temperate sun.
If this is in utilizable form it re-
mains for the ingenuity of man to
overcome the difficulties of profitably
applying 1t. With the increasing needs
of the nation 1t is reasonable to ex-
pect that sooner or later it will be
necessary to utilize more fully the
plant resources of the tropics.
Professor Whitford said that the an
nual production of alcohol from the
nipa plant In the Philippines was now
nearly 100000 gallons and that one
distillery there had produced 93 per
cent alcohol at cost of about 20
cents gallon, and If operated to full
capacity could make 1t at cost Of
10 cents a gallon.-Scientific Ameri'
can.

MARAT HoN0RED AS PATRIOT
BIoodthirsty Leader of French RevpIu.
tion Inferred With the Great
Ones of the Nation.

From the destruction of the bastile,
l32 years ago. July IA, the commence
ment of the French Revolution is dated,
and its sanguinary fanaticism has no
representative of such odious repul-
siyeness as John Paul Marat, who was
assassinated In 1893. BY birth a Swiss
of Calvinistic parents, he had led a
strange life for 45 years-latterly a
sort Of quack physician--when the
great national crisis brought him to
the surface as journalist and a mem
Der Of the convention. Less than five
feet high, with frightfui countenance
and maniacal eye. he was an object of
aversion to most people; but he had
frantic earnestness and hesitated at
no violence against the enemies of lib
erty, and so came to possess the en-
tire confidence and affection of the mob
of Paris. His paper daily claniored for
blood and he desired every we'll
dressed person TO be put to death. 1t
was on July IA, four years after the
fall Of the bastile, that Charlotte Cor
day stabbed him to death in his
bath to avenge the fate of her friend,
one Barbaroux. L4arat's death was
treated as public calamity and his
body was deposited in the Pantheon
with great nors.-Chicago Journal.

BEARSKIN A MARK OF HONOR
Five British Regiments Won Right to
Wear Headdress, at the Battle
of Waterloo.

Recently published portraits Of the
king Of England at the historic British
ceremony, "trooping of the colors," at
the Horse guards parade in London
show him wearing the high, shaggy
bearskin headdress which appears to
the unin!tiated to be heavy, uncom-

ter Of fact it is not as uncomfortable
as 1t looks.
The bearskin, as 1t is called to dis
tinguish it from the shake and busby,
is made Of the skin Of the Russian
bear and stretched over basketlike
framework. In reality 1t Is not any
heavier than the oldtime helmet. The
one the king wore on this occasion had
a white plume on the side, the insignia
of the Grenadier guards, Of which regi-
ment King George is honorary colonel.
Five British Guard regiments are en-
titled to wear the bearskin, dis
tinction they won at Waterloo when
the British guards defeated the Old
Guard Of Napoleon, who wore this
towering form Of headdress.
Besides the Grenadier guards regi.
ment dating from the time Of Charles
ii, the Coldstream, Scots, Irish and
Welsh guards, the latter formed dur
ing the World war, wear bearskins.
They form the brigade of Foot guards
in peace time and are part Of the
household troops. whose duties include
the guarding Of Buckingham and st.
James palaces. A.

Reversing speech.

A curious photographic instrument

versing the sounds of word or SEN
tenee A steel piano wire, carried on
two spools, passes between the poles
of small electromagnetic so connected
with telephone transmitter that spo-
ken words are magnetically recorded
on the moving wire and reproduced in
a receiving instrument. When the mo-
ton of the wire Is direct, the words are
heard as in ordinary conversation, but
if the motion is reversed, the sounds
come to the ear in reverse order, like
words spelled backward. TO represent
the order in which the reversed sounds
strike the ear, however, not only must
the order of the letters composing a
word be reversed but each letter must
itself be reversed from right to left, as
when reflected in mirror.--Christian

HAS SEEN LIFE's BITTERNESS
Granddaughter of the Mighty Napo.
leon | Worthy of Remembrance
by the French People.

Paris observed the centenary of Ma
poleon Bonaparte's death with elabo-
rate ceremonies a few weeks ago.
Amid all the pomp in honor of the one
time arbiter of Europe another figure
stood out in contrast--that of woman
of fifty, dressed in black, with a fine,
open face, lined by sorrow and the in
cessant effort to exc out livelihood,
a teacher in an ordinary elementary
school near the Boulevard st. Michel.
This poor teacher, now living in tiny

of Napoleon /. Her father was the lille
Ultimate son of Napoleon and Eleonore
de la Plaigne, maid of honor to Caro-
line Murat. Napoleon gave the boy the
title of Count Leon. Born in 1906,

citing and feverish life, into which he
crowded excessive gambling, many
duels and love affairs and some mys-
teal meditations. The counts only
daughter Charlotte Leon, was born
when her father was sixty years old.
She began life as teacher in Algeria
to support her widowed mother, to
whom the count had left but small
means of subsistence. After hard years
of struggle on pittance she finally
went TO Paris, where she married a

Remarkable Calculation.

Charles j.. Dodgson, professor of
higher mathematics at Christ Church,
Oxford, known TO most people as
Lewis Carroll" and the author of
"Alice in Wonderland" is responsible
for the following peculiar calculation !:
Write down the number of your
brothers that are living. Multiply this
by two. Add three Multiply the re-
suit by five. To this.add the number
of your living sisters. Multiply the
result by ten.
Add to this result the number OF
your dead brothers and sisters. From
the total substract 100.
The right hand figure gives the
number of deaths, the middle figure
gives the number of living sisters, and
the ieft-hand figure gives the number
Of living brothers.

German blind soldiers Increase.

There are 1922 blind soldiers in
Germany from the World war and one
hundred have died. The discouraging
feature of 1t all is that there were

totally blind, there are at present A.

Little Rock, Jan. Ex-Governor Mo Rae tried today to get in touch with the mob which was escorting Henry Lowrey, a Mississippi county negro, from Sardis. Miss, to Wilson, Ark, to lynch him, in efforts to avert the lynching, but he was not successful.
 Late today, thru the adjutant gen erals office he got in touch with Amer ican Legion commanders at Wilson and Blytheville and urged them to help officers avert lynching and pre- serve order.
 The commander at Wilson said the white people were so manned against Lowrey that a iynching could not be prevented even if efforts were made, but he promised to aid all he could in preserving order.
 At Blytheville, it was said efforts also would be made to prevent mobs from taking negroes from the Blythe vile jail, should the mobs try to get negroes held there as aecomplices of Lowrey in his escape from the county, following the double murder Christ mas.
