I was guiding myself northward by the sun, every day or two tacking across to the railroad In order to keep the direction.

The natives were generally friendly enough, although our intercourse was limited owing to my defective Siamese vocabulary.
 Some 40 miles north of Chumphon I was very puzzled to account for the fact that large iexpanses of the hillsides were cleared and used as grazing grounds for cattle, as I had not credited the Siamese with suf- ficient energy to clear large areas of hill jungle. l was told that some 50 years ago a terrific tempest swept across the isthmus of Kra and de stroyed all the vegetation.

TRAVELLER BY FOOT FINDS MALAyS AND
 BURMANS FRIENDLY
Englishman Tells of His Wan derings From Singapore to CaIais-PIanS to Traverse
 Other Lands

Rangoon, November A. Charles W. Blythe, an Englishman, who is journeying on foot from Singapore to Calais, France, and London, re- gently arrived in Rangoon and is now on his way to Calcutta. He intends to pursue his way through northern India. Baluchistan and Persia to Shat -el-Arab. whence he will follow the Euphrates to it's source and make his way through Asia Minor and Europe. He hopes to arrive in England by the end of 1928.
 Mir. Blythe, who has already cov- cred 2,l00 miles of his trip, thinks that his last 200 miles in siam con stituted as difficult country as he shall ever encounter. He carries no firearms or weapons of any kind. and has not yet had need of any. His pack weighs from 20 to 40 pounds and consists of clothes, food, maps, notebooks and simple camp utensils.
 Malays and Burmans, the traveller says. are the most friendly people he has encountered so far. The Siamese he ranks last. although none of them have been definitely unfriendly.
 Describing some of the adventures he has had since leaving Singapore last May. MT. Blythe says, in part;
 T wished to traverse Siam with all possible speed. From Kuen Nung my troubles commenced. Roads in the inferior of Siam are, non existent. Even cartroads are termed by cour- tesy. For two days travelled by earth paths, sleeping in farmers houses, until I reached Patalung, which is railway town not far from the coast. The place being infested with mosquitoes.

 This fund is to be raised by VOL untary contributions of s1 from each person in Alabama who has re- ceived benefits from the typewriter invention.
 It has been generaiiy published that c. l.. Sholes was inventor of the modern day typewriter. whereas John J. Pratt received patent nearly two years before. As a matter of fact c. l.. Sholes' machine was not patented in the United States until August II, 1868, less than two months later. However, John J. Pratt invented his machine some years before, and on account of the raging Civil war, could not get re- cognition in the United States. but sailed for Europe and received his patent in London on December l. 1866.
 It vii be seen that John J. Pratt actually did receive a patent nearly two years before c. L. Sholes.

 The department of agriculture de- clares that if the paririe dog alone were enterminated over it's entire range, which is economically pos sible, 4.000,0 ,000 more cattle and 4,000.- 900 more sheep could be raised on that area, because of the increase in the amount of forage.
 Records of the biological survey, a branch of the department, show that in Texas it's hunters. co-operat- ing with the state agencies. have killed about 10000 predatory animals. aggregating a saving of more than $2.700.0e0. Of the total of 17,30o wolves and coyotes captured, more than half had records as killers.
