Two Birds and Cat Win
Fierce Fight With Cobra
Feline Is Deciding Factor in
Battle With Reptile That
Attacks Nest

LONDON, Sept. An extraordinary
story of the fight of a cobra with two
birds and cat is told by a Madras
correspondent in THE Daily Express"
The man was sitting in his COM
pound, reading, when he was disturbed
by pair of green birds chirping, as if
IN distress, and wheeling and darling
violently. These birds had their nest
in low thorn tree close by, and at the
root of the tree huge cobra was
coiled. evidently bent on capturing the
birds eggs.
Every time the snake made an at
tempt to climb the green birds swooped
on its head, which it was obliged to
hide for fear of losing its eyes.
Then cat, which had been watch
ing. advanced to the attack. AS she
drew near the cobra became aware of
her and reared up to his full height,
with hood expanded, and struck out
with hideous hiss, only to meet the
ground, for the cat side-stepped lightly,
and before her opponent had time to
withdraw his head, scored a hit with
her paw. The cnraged cobra Kissed and
struck again and again, only to be re-
wardcd each time with a nasty scrape
from the cats claws.
Suddenly the cobra beat .hasty re-
treat, with the cat in hot pursuit, and
the correspondent was able to get his
twelve bore into action, reducing the
snake to heap of writhing coils.

and incidentally it has aroused many
churchmen to protest. Apropos says
the Rev. Clarence May:
when you talk about lunacy as a
ground for divorce, have you ever
thought of the cruelty to the ones lett
behind in the lunatc asylum? | have
been in many lunatic asylums, and
many of the inmates are as sane as
you and l arc for five-sixths Of the
DAY. Often it happens that the one
thing man in an asylum is not mad
about is the woman he loves-and that
is the one comfort and consolation in
life left to him. If we are to divorce
for madness, why not Cor consumption
and cancer? So-called easier divorce
will never get rid of the hard cases.
Perhaps if mans whole soul and
mind were mad, and nothing really re
manned but his body, you would have a
case for divorce. But how are YOU to
tell when lunatic can never recover.
when patients are often released from
asylums after spending ten to twenty
years inside %
incidentally, the discussion is fur
Their involved by the appearance of a
book written by prominent English
doctor, in which he urges the consd-
Grafton of euthanasia for the hopeless
ly insane. He would place the lunatic
husband or wife in lethal chamber.
But the ink is hardly dry in his book
before an equally prominent lawyer Of
fers violent opposition, asking peril
nently who is to be the final judge Of
those who are to be put to death, and
what standard is to be set.

German Scientist Said to
Weigh Spirit of Medium
Phantom Scale Measures Loss
of Weight During Material.
ization in Seancc
BERLIN. Sentemher

bCRLlN, september D.
Slowly but surely the holly disputed
domain of occultism begins to become
a science, writes the "Berliner Vos-
siscne Zeitung." Evermore scientists
who hitherto had branded everything
appertaining to the domain OF "super-
sensual" phenomena as humbug, trick
cry or. at best, as self-deception, and
even disdained the thought of occupy
ing themselves with it, begin, equipped
with the arms Of science, to grapple
with the hitherto inexplicable occur
rences.
One need only to observe the new
works Of Schrenck-N Nothing, Ocharo-
wicz and Crawford, the results OF
which in many points so perfectly
agree. that it is no longer possible to
doubt the reality of the observed oc-
currences. A further step to make the
mediumistic phenomena accessible to
the methods of physical research has
been made by the Berlin engineer, Fritz
Grunwald. He has set I'D q regular
laboratory. in which he purposes to
make mediumistic-p physical researches,
which he has already successfully
made. He has set up there all kinds
Of scales, electric measuring instru-
ments and automatic recording ap-
paratus in order to have fixed the time
and manner Of the occurrences in a
seance
There is to be found medium scale
for measuring the loss of weight suf-
fered by the mediums during the So
called naturalization, and phantom
scale, which at the same time registers
the weight Of this astral body 1t has,
in fact, been shown that the weight of
the medium decreased by exactly as
much as the second scale for the phan-
tom weight registered, and startling
indeed are the curves formed by the
weights registered on the two scales
which in an opposite sense agree to
minute fractions. Deviations Of the
magnetic needle through the approach
ing of the mediums hand are measured
with galvanometers; all phenomena
caused by light are photographed and
examined specially as to temperature
and ionization. In short. it is a lab
oratory equipped with ingeniously con-
ceived instruments, and Mr.. Grunwald
hopes to show by it what Importance
occultism may attain for the further
development of physics.

latter number is 2,152 less than in -

proportion Of male to female births
were as 1857 to 900.
Inc deaths registered in England

the second quarter of 1920. Influenza
is stated to be the primary cause OF
the death OF 2,064 persons, or 1.e ner

the quarter.
Infant mortality in the second quar-

reason it is only necessary to 20 back
to the war, where many hasty mar
rlages were made and many others
wrecked. The war, which changed po-
litical boundaries and unsettled finnn-
clal and economic conditions, gave the
British social system several nasty
jolts.
In the first three months of this
year there were 1881 weddings in
Great Britain. This number Is smaller
than the record for the last quarter
of last year. Still there arc some
100000 spinsters in these isles who
see little hope of finding mate unless
they emigrate to New Zealand, Aus
tralia or Canada, where the male is in
majority.
Parliament has been taking an active
part in the discussion of marriage and
divorce. Two important measures have
been under discussion at various times
in the last year. One would make
divorce easier and the other would
protect the minor maiden. Neither has
become law. AT first glance it would
seem there was only one side to the
questions, bu. actually they are as
many sided as human nature itself.
