CHINA HAS OLDEST JOURNAL
Peking Newspaper Has Been in Ex-
istence for Something More Than
Ten Centuries.

The oldest newspaper in the world
is the KingPau, or Capital Sheet"
published in Peking, China. 1t first
was printed in the year OIL A. D., but
for many years has been issued only
at irregular intervals. Since 1851,
however, it has been published weekly
and in uniform size.
During the present century and per
haps longer, the paper has been re-
leased about noon. Until 1882, it con-
fined its news to council and court
news. Since then it has been issued
in new form and on a new plan.
The King-Pau is printed on yellow
paper. 1t sells for 2 kesh, something
less than a cent. Three editions are
printed daily.
All issues of the King-Pau are edited
by six members of the National Acad
emy of Sciences. They are appointed
by the Chinese government. The total
number of daily copies is from 1906
to $4,000.

IDEA FOR FUEL CONSERVATION
New JersSy Man Has Evolved Scheme
Which 1t Will Be Admitted Has
Many Good Points.

Apprehension of a coal shortage, to-
grther with the upward trend in fuel
prices. has caused the wise suburban
ite actively to consider ways and
means of providing for his comforc
and warmth during the winter.
One enterprising Jerseyite has par
TALLY met the situation by capitaliz-
ing on his open fireplaces in his
Hackensack home in a rather novel
manner. Not wishing to trouble with
a log fire and also being of the opln-
ion that it did not give off sufficient
heat, Mr.. Suburbanite purchased
small stove, which he set in the open
fireplace, the pipe being extended up
the chimney.
The stove burns wood or pea coal,
of which there is no shortage, and
radiates considerable heat, not only
within the room, but in the adjoining
rooms. With the furnace operating
on a curtailed supply of fuel, the fire
place stove permits the registers in
that portion of the house to be turned
off, shunting whatever heat might be
produced to other sections of the
house.
The stove also serves a practical
purpose, its fiat top permitting the
boiling Of water, preparation of toast
or other light housekeeping prac-
tices.
Other features in favor of the in
nOvatiOn are the fact that it is out of
the way and takes up no additional
space; and, unlike a log fire in an
open fireplace, gives off no sparks nor
smoke and consequently meets with
the approval of the housewife.-New
York Sun.

FISH THAT CAN CLIMB TREES
Nature Has Endowed the CODY With
More Than Its Share of Physical
Requirements.

The gOby is a fish that lives mainly
in warm countries. 1t often crawls
out of the water in large numbers, and
skips and plays on shore like lively
kitten. In the countries where these
wonderful fish are found the shores in
many places are covered with low
mangrOve trees, and up these the gOby
climbs in search of feOd.
These fish have developed out Of
their fore fins what look like arms,
with hands with webbed fingers, which
help them to get over the ground, and
out of their hind fins a kind of sucker
or sucking disk, by means of which
they can cling closely to the bark of a
tree.
The gOby is sometimes called a
"mudskipper," because it goes skip
ping along over the wet sands and
mud, even skipping with great speed
over the surface of the water" says
one writer. ut chases its insect prey
among rocks, leases and weeds, and

What the Pony Suffered With

The owner of valuable pony that
was suffering with the navicular was
trying to tell Father James Healy,
famous Irish wit, what allied the poor
animal. The medical term, however,
was little too much for him. He told
him, writes Sir Edward Sullivan In
"The Nineteenth Century" that the
pony was suffering with the vernacu-
lar.
"God bless me-" said the priest.
Think of that now. thought the only
animal that ever suffered with that
complaint was Balaam's ass"

Original Upper objects to Tips

Original Upper objects to Tips.
The tipping system might be said
to hail from England, at least it has
been allowed to flourish there for
great many years, but the English
men are now criticlzing the American
tourists for their generosity in the
matters of tips. Recently several
publications have had articles on this
subject. A correspondent of one pa
per says it is almost impossible for
other tourists to get any attention
whatever whenN there are American
tourists to be served at the baggage
rooms of the railroad stations. 1t Is
asserted that the Americans are un-
necessarily extravagant in the matter
of tips and the English people do not
like them any the better for 1t.

grows up in the atmosphere of the gay

er's establishment, yet taking perfect

qualities that are still dormant. Then
comes romance, and into this romance

other men who are made desperate by
her charms. The role is a severe test
of the emotional powers of any actress

ANIMALS IN CRATER
Mouth Of Volcano Inhabited by
5000 Wild Beasts.
Scientists Hope to Find Alive Strange
Creatures of Which Only Skeletons
Have Beer Found in Other
Parts of World.

| London.-An untouched Eden in the
mouth of a burned-out volcano in the
heart of Africa, providing refuge for
thousands of animals, many of them
| extinct in every other part of the
world. has been purchased outright by
| Sir Charles Ross of Bainagowan, the
| inventor of the Ross rifle, and is to be
explored by scientists.
1t is the giant crater of Ngoro
Ngoro the largest volcano that ever
existed on this planet-ten miles
across and paradise for wild things.
Nobody knows what discoveries a
thorough exploration of the crater
may bring. Prehistoric animals, be-
lieved to have persisted from the earth
thousands of years ago, may inhabit
its caves. Scientists hope to find alive
strange creatures of which only the
skeletons have been found in other
parts of the world.
Sir Charles Ross went to Tangan-
yika in January, 1921, on a shooting
expedition. accompanied by the ex-
Observation-Disclosures, Mr.. I. A. Barnes,
and Mrs. Frederick Dalzel of New
York and discovered the crater. Sir
Charles Ross stalked and shot five
lions within the basin, and the won
ders he saw there made him resolve
that no more shooting parties should
be allowed.
The crater is 100 miles from rail-
way. in the midst of wild country. The
number of animals in the crater is es-
timated at 10000.
The crater is, in fact, city Of anil
mails. who have lived there for centu-
ries safe from attack. It's steep sides
made 1t a citadel of the forest and.
while in all other parts of the world
the work of determination went on, |
no hunter dared to penetrate this fast
ness. Thus it is highly probable that |
animals which have 9erished elsewhere |
have survived at Ngoro Ngoro.
Other volcanoes are grouped about |
the central crater of Ngoro Ngoro.
More than one of them is larger than
Mount Etna. The whole region. ages
ago, was the scene Of terrific volcanic
1pheaval.
