IT WOULD not be unlike them. The
last Congress passed the so-called
Winslow-Cummins coal law, giving the
Interstate Commerce commission power
to deny cars to coal operators charging
profiiteer prices. The coal operators
do not like the law, and a small group
OF them are now trying to have an in
junction served to restrain the govern
ment from enforcing the law, alleging
that it is unconstitutional. Remember,
the law does not plan interference
where prices are not unreasonably high;
only where it is clear that the operators
are taking advantage of shortage to
boost the price to the public would the
law be used. They certainly have no
respect for themselves, for law, or for
decent conduct of business.

GOT IDEA FROM "PITcHMEN"
Humble Beginning of Career of Man
Who Founded One Of Greatest
Department Stores.

The vendors Of small articles sold
on the street after 'spiel" and dem
onstration are known as 'pitchmen."
According to an article in recent
number Of popular weekly, this in
dustry was begun in 1859 in New York
city. A newsboy by the name Of
Showers got hold Of some knives that
had become slightly rusty, at bargain
price and sold them for a quarter,
making 200 per cent profit for himself.
He saw an opportunity to duplicate his
feat by getting more knives, which he
did, but soon the available stock was
exhausted.
He associated partner with him.
SELF, and sold lead pencils In the same
way. The partners name was "Dutchy"
Lehman. In a short time profits of
$4,000 had accumulated Lehman con-
sidered their luck q temporary thing,
and took his share of the profits,
$4,000, to Chicago, and with 1t opened
a miniature department store, using
similar tactics as the "pitchmen" by
displaying goods on open tables Imme-
date and increasing success crowned
his efforts, and the business expanded
sinto what is now one of the largest
department stores in the world.

REEFS LIKE FLOWER GARDENS
Variety Of Color Where LIVING Corals
Abound Described as Wonderful
and Beautiful.

The traveller among the islands OF
the tropics finds few more curiously
interesting sights than the coral reefs
that surround them, remarks q writer
Id the Washington Star. The variety
Of color exhibited by the reefs where
the living coral abounds Is as wonder
full and beautiful as that In flower
garden. But the eye Of the natural
list detects beauties and points Of In
terest that entirely escape the eye of
the casual or careless visitor; for
every circling reef Is the home Of a
vast variety Of living forms. which ex-
hibit some of natures most cunning
handiwork In the adaptation Of means
to ends.
Among these curious inhabitants Of
the tropical waters Is, for instance,
the caput medusae, an animal that
bears remarkable resemblance to a
plant, and whose remote ancestors in
the most ancient oceans Of the earth
contrived to prolong the existence of
their kind by developing a means of
keeping the water around them COM
paratively pure. This Is only one Of
a multitude of wonderful little ami
mails to be found in such places.

MAKE THEIR OWN WEATHER
Screen Directors Have at Their Com.
mand Appliances Which Equal
Any Methods OF Nature.

On the cinema screen, even In a very
short play, frequent weather changes
rain, fog and wind, are often depict
ed. If artistes and photographers
waited for real weather such as they
required to occur, a lot Of valuable
time would be wasted. The simplest
solution is to make your own weather,
so that you can turn on just the type
you want. Three appliances are used.
The first is the rainmaker, which looks
like a lightly made flre-engine. It is
provided with a latticework tower on
the top Of which stands an operator
who, by opening or closing taps, can
produce either fine or heavy rain. The
rain is directed toward the air current
made by the wind machine, and by
varying the strength Of the @wind,"
the ''rain" can be made to fall gently
or In wild driving squalls. The wind
maker is nothing more than an engine
with a large propeller mounted on q
motor lorry. By regulating the speed
you can have a gentle breeze that will
just ruffie the heroine's curls, or a
hurricane which tears leaves and
branches off the trees and Bullets the
players as severely as a real storm.
The fog machine, also mounted on
lorry, contains number of metal
MOBILES provided with regulating
valves. Through them harmless
white gas is liberated In such guam
titles as may be necessary.

Knows No Method to
E~xterminate Mongoose
Writes Biologist

determination of the mongoose is
impossible as no solution has ever
been offered that has proved a sue
cess, declares w. c. Henderson, act
ing chief of the Bureau of Biological
Survey of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, in a letter to
Bruce Cartwright, secretary of the
Fish and Game Association, accord
ing to The Honolulu Advertiser
The mongoose is more destructive
than the rat and do more harm to
crops than any bird known, Hender-
son say
The letter follows:
Receipt is acknowledged of your
letter of November 3, 1921, contain
ing seven rather comprehensive ques-
tions in regard to the mongoose. 1t
is impracticable, in the limits of a
brief letter, to answer these questions
satisfactorily, in fact, the W to
some of them involve problems which
have not yet been worked out. AS
you are doubtless aware the mon
goose has been the subject of volumi-
nous official reports by the govern
ment of Jamaica and, l believe, has
also been the subject of inquiry in
Hawaii. Following the brief answers
to the questions IN which we have
data at hand:
1. Habits. The mongoose belongs
to a family peculiar to the Old World
and is represented by several general
and a number of species which occur
in India and Africa. The species
which has proved most destructive in
the West Indies and in Hawaii was
originally a native of India. It's habits
are chiefly terrestrial, although under
certain circumstances, the animals
climb low trees and bushes and may
to this very limited extent be con
sidered arboreal. 1t is unable to
reach many rats of the Black species
(rattus rattus), which are expert
climbers. It's food consists of small
animals and birds, but under certain
circumstances, it vii. subsist TO some
extent, on vegetable food. On &C
count of it's destructiveness to rats
it was introduced in Jamaica and 9th
er West India islands ard in Hawai-.
to rid the cane fields of these pests
It has not, however, by any mean;
confined it's attention to rats, anG
When these are scarce or when othel
food is available, it does not hesitate
to prey on other small animals or or
poultry, game, or on native ground
nesting birds.
On this account it is considered one
of the worst pests which can be in
troduced into any country, and its i'm
portation into the United States, OF
its shipment from one state to an
other has been prohibited by act Of
Congress.
In its native habitat l~ittle-knowr
enemies serve to limit it's numbers
but when introduced into new locali
ties, particularly on islands, it is al
most entirely free from the enemies
which held it in check in it's original
home, and it's rapidly increasing nun
bers become a to small game

Peruvians are Able
To Work at Heights

LONDON, Dec. IL ASSOCIATED
Press Mail)-Many of the natives OF
Peru, it is stated, are much less al
fected by the rarifed air at high altl-
tudes than are ordinary men of other
races who are accustomed to hard
labor. 1t is declared that at an alti-
tude of 10000 feet they can carry
loads of $50 pounds up a steep incline
where the ordinary person would ind
it all he could do to drag his own
boots up.
The Royal Society is going to try
to find out what is the secret that en-
ables them to perform such feats Of
physical strength under conditions
that would render the task an i'm
possible one for the average man.
Three scientists have just gone to
Peru 10 investigate the phenomenon.
They were Professor Meakins, j. /.
Bancroft and J. H. Doggart, the two
latter of Cambridge University.
Five other scientists from Canada
and New York will join them in Peru.
Mr.. Bancroft told an interviewer that
the purpose of the expedition is to
test the strain to which the heart and
lungs are subjected by carrying
heavy loads at such great height, and
to endeavor TO discover how the ma
tives can stand it.

and ground-inhabitating wild life in
general.
Its economic value lies in it's des-
truction Of rats, but its value for this
purpose is more than counter balanc-
ed by its destruction of useful species
2. determination. No successful
means of determination of the mon
goose have thus far been devised.
8. Diseases. No disease, so far as
we are aware, exists that is fatal to
the mongoose and rats that will not
spread to stock, poultry, etc.
4. Increase of Males. 1t has been
suggested that the preponderance of
males over females of rabbits and
rats be secured by killing the females
only, with a view to bringing about
in this way the determination of the
species, but we do not believe that
any such plan is likely to be practic-
able or really effective in checking
the numbers of these animals or of
the mongoose. The small number of
females that could be killed would
probably have little effect in over
coming the natural tendency to equal
ize the number of males and females.
5. Proportion of Sexes. See No. 4.
W GhClltCSs any ohlilu vi ~
of prey that might feed on the mon
goose would undoubtedly feed on poul
try and games birds and thus offset
any benefit they might occasion in
destroying the mongoose. .
Z. Benefits to Agriculture. Under
ordinary circumstances there seems
to be nc question that game birds are
more beneficial to agriculture than
the mongoose. The latter is very de-
structive and almost its only benef-
cial trait is it's destruction of rats,
whereas game birds are not only
valuable in destroying insects, but in
furnishing recreation and food.
In order to answer your question
as to whether rats are more harmful
to sugar cane and other agricultural
products than the insects which form
the principal diet of game birds, such
as the California Valley Quail, it
would be necessary to collect consid-
cradle data, not at present available,
as to the amount of damage done by
rats in the sugar cane fields and also
as to the kinds of insects eaten by the
introduced game birds in Hawaii.

Famous Ancient Pine
Tree u Japan Dies

TOKYO, Nov. - ASSOCIATED
Press MaiD-The old pine tree of Ka-
rasaki, on the shore of Lake Bfwa,
famous in song and legend and visit
ed by thousands of pilgrims each year
as one of the eight~ beautiful scenes
of Lake Biwa, is dead, the Japan Adj
vertiser says. The ancient pine vas
said to be 1900 years old, living from
the time of the Nara Epoch until it
withered and died this year.
A ceremony was held last Sunday
on the shores of the lake "to transfer
the spirit" of the pine into a younger
tree that will succeed to the honor
and near-worship which had been
bestowed on the "Karasaki no mat
SUI" The successor is only 300 years
old and is said to have sprung from
seed cast by the old tree. The solemn
ceremony was held under the direc-
ton of Priest Hiyoshi before more
than 100 of the highest dignitaries of
Shiga prefecture. Religious music,
the weird music of ancient flute and
drum was played while the priest
transferred the spirit.
The ancient pine had been of the
low-spreading variety often seer in
Japan. Although only 80 feet high,
it's branches covered a span of 1853
feet from east to west and 154 feet
from north to south, shading an area
of 42O0 square feet.
The new tree is 20 feet high with
a trunk circumference of IL feet, 5
inches. The area covered by its
branches is only 1900 square feet, but
the tree is only a youngster and has
$50 years in which to reach the dimen
sions of the ancient pine of Karasaki
that had just passed.
