"Survival of the Fittest."

Samuel Eliot Morrison, author Of
THE Maritime History of Massachu-
>etts," comes of New England seafar-
ing stock, about which many deep-sea
tales might be told. According to a
family tradition, two of Mr. MorisOn's
ancestors were shipmates on brigan-
tine which was wrecked in the Pa
citic ocean toward the end of the
Eighteenth century. The crew had to
row almost a thousand miles in small
boat before they reached land, with
the usual accompaniment of drawing
lots to see who would furnish the
meals. One of Mr.. Morison's ances-
tors persisted; the other survived, and
on reaching home two years later
found that his daughter had married
the victims son. The two families
remained on the best Of terms, but 1t
was considered poor form to refer to
the survival of the fittest" In the
family circle Mr. Morrison did not
tell this incident in his Maritime His
tory" as he did not expect anyone to
believe it,

Forest Monarch Gone.

The Rainier National forest has lost

age is estimated at 1000 years, has
fallen a victim to the recent north

it was broken. Forest rangers will

several cedar trees, long revered by
the forest denizens as mOnarchs, were
blown down. One was IL feet in di-
ameter at stump height and the other
about ten feet. Not for years have so
many gigantic trees fallen in storms
as during the recent 'sleet and snow

Land OF ROMANCE
Portugal Offers Many Induce

Ancient Castles and Converts, Beau

For the traveller in Portugal not

Gothic churches of Alcobaca, the Cis-

of Batalha, built near the battle field
of Aljubarrota G384) to commemo-
rate the winning Of Portugal's indie

At Alcobaca is a huge caldron left
by the retreating SpaniardS after the
battle in which English archers took
part on the side of Portugal; at AL
cobaca, too, the beautifully carved
tomb of Ines de Castro, murdered at
Coimgra in 1855 and brought to burial
here along leagues of road lined with
burning torches. But it is Batalha
that has the most interesting memo
lies of Englishmen, and it is thus Of
happy augury for the future of the
ancient alliance that Portugals two
unknown soldiers are to be solemnly

Forced Into Circus Business.

The name of Adam Forepaugh. so
well known to followers of the circus
world, became the important factor
it played in that sphere through acct
dent rather than design. Years ago,
Dan Rice and his circus were known

time. Then hard luck followed them
and they were plunged into period
of financial depression.

err had been given the contract to fur
nish meat for the organization and,
when money was not forthcoming to
meet his bill, sought council Of an at
torney. AS result an attachment
was secured. Rice and Warner held a
consultation. They decided that the
bottom had fallen out of the circus
business. So they turned over to Fore
back the properties and paraphernalia
Of the circus in settlement Of the
claim.
With this material on his hands,
FOreback could do but one thing. He
started out as circusman. FOreback
was changed to FOrepaugh, name that
became a household word in America
and which remains one today.

Oil Cans Used as Stoves.

The divers use to which empty kero-
sene cans are put are well known, and
even in the most remote parts of the

it can be worked by the average han

Remarkable Insect Longevity.

Insect longevity records appear to

soft white wOOd-boring grub that had
spent more than forty years in thor

eighths of an inch thick, IN a, book cas- Sc
at Mt. Pleasant. Iowa. The owner Of
the old bookcase discovered a newly
made opening and conical pile Of
wood chewings, extracted the matured
larva, and gave it to H. e. Jacques of
the Iowa Wesleyan college.
Being biologist, Mr.. Jaques put it
in box and let it develop into an adul:
beetle. 1t proved to be Eburia quadri-

known as the hOney-locust borer,
which is recorded as an inhabitant Of
hickory, ash and honey locust.
In q communication to Science, the
official journal Of the American Asso-

why this insect should have spent so
many humdrum years in board with
out coming out for air and water.
Previous records show that two SIM
liar beetles were foCnd in an ash door

the eggs were laid there nineteen years

PAY TRIBUTE TO THE LOST
Primitive Japanese Have Ritual for
the Souls of Wild Geese That
Never Will Return.

A most charming bath custom OBJ
served every spring, even to this day,
in the fishing villages on the shores Of
the Pacific ocean, the Soto Ga Hama,
the Outside shores" as the Japanese
call them is the ganburo.
These village people tell how the
geese which come flying across the
seas to winter in the land of the rising
sun always carry in their bills small
piece of wood. When they are worn
out from flying, the long lines of the
migrating birds are halted by their
leaders and then they settle in the sea
for rest before continuing their
flight. This piece of wood is carried
to serve them as a rest to float on
while they refresh their wearied wings.
When the geese reach the outer shores
of Japan they no longer need these
wood floats and they drop them just
where they land. Now the good vii
lage folk know that these visiting
geese need these floats again, and they
never burn or use them in any way
all the coldwinter long. In the spring
when it is time for the geese to make
they all flock to the shores where they
landed and each goose picking up the
float he brought with him takes to the
air and flies home over the seas
But there are many geese which
never live to take the homeWard path
again and when all the living geese
are gone away there still remains a
sad pathetic pile of floats which no
geese will ever come to claim again.
The fishing folk are a simple folk
and their hearts are clean and kind.
Here on the "outside shores they
gather all the floats no geese have
come to take. and carrying them to
the nearby temples prepare a mighty
fire beneath huge kettle filled with
water from the temple well. Then
while the fire burns the priests. pray
for the souls of the geese who will
never return. All the villagers then
enter the great kettle and battle In the
water heated by the burning floats
For it is proper and good when mas
ses are said for the souls of the dead
that a present should be given to all
who attend the sacred ceremony. And
this BATH heatedwith the little legacy
the geese have left behind, is the pres
ent the villagers who so simply and
kindheartedly offer prayers, receive fol

A ReqrettabIe Favor.

About a year ago when Mr.. and Mrs.
Elmer N. Powell returned from a party
late one night to their home in the
Knickerbocker apartments, Mr.. Powell
discovered he had failed to take along
his house keys. After failing in ev-
cry effort to open door Or window,
he was finally driven to the extremity
of breaking window pane in or
der to unfasten the night latch. AS
the glass tinkled he gave vent to vocal
comment on the general cussedness of
things that had made such action
necessary.
AS he spoke the voice of Judge kim
brough Stone came from the window
of the next apartment:
Il am mighty glad you spoke, Pow
ell. l had my gun leveled at you and
was just about to shoot"
One day last week Mr.. Powell found
himself ON the same street car bound
downtown, with the Judge and Mrs.
Stone Mrs. Stone explained that she
was taking her husband with her to
help select Christmas gifts, and Mr..
Powell suggested that she should keep
the judge with her long enough to
sign the checks.
"NOw, Powell" said Judge Stone,

UNMARRIED BY HAND OF TIME
Human Bodies and Relics of Roman
Gaul Found in France, Almost
Perfectly Preserved.

Camville Julien, member of the
French academy, recently submitted
to that body a sensational report on
the archaeological findings in the neigh
bOrhood of Clermont-Ferrand Capital
of the department of Puy-de-Dome, 212
miles southeast of Paris), which, as
it were, bring to light the whole daily
life of a small market-town of the
time of Roman Gau. In the Canton
Martre-de-Vegre some people while
working with pick on property
struck on something hard, which
seemed to be the lid of Gallo Roman
sarcophagus. Upon lifting the lid they
found wondrously beautiful woman
whose flesh was perfectly preserved as
on the day of her death, eighteen cen
turtles ago. Also the tresses of her
black hair seemed. as If unaffected.
The finders, however, had only
brief enjoyment of this astounding
sight, as under the action of the solar
heat the womans body in few mo-
ments crumbled into dust, so that all
that remained was skeleton wrapped
in dress. Further searchings and
excavations yielded five more equally
well-preserved tombs, in which objects
of the greatest archaeological interest
were found, such as coins, vases, pot
terry, baskets, toilet articles, women's
garments, shoes, and even fruits, bare
ly shriveled up, and a box-tree twig
still perfectly green
The savants who examined these
Gallo-Roman findings are convinced
that the miracle of the preservation OF
the corpses through eighteen centuries
was due to the neighborng springs,
from which escaped carbonic acid gas,
which, being heavier than the air. dis
placed the air from the collins, and
preserved the bodies. perfectly fresh,
for $500 years. The scientific experts
declared that never before have been
found bodies and objects from that
period N such perfect preservation.

or ANCIENT DAYS
Much Is Told in Collection of Old
Documents.
Legal Papers Recovered by Investi-
gators Reveal Life of People
During Early Christian Era.

What is described as one of the most
important collections of ancient docu-
ments vet discovered, consisting of
more than 100 legal papers dating
from the reigns of the Roman en-
perors Augustus, TiberiGs, Caiigula
and ClaudiuS, has been brought to Ann
Arbor by Prof. Francis w. Kelsey of
the University of Michigan. Professor
Kelsey spent some time in Egypt in
search of records. The collection is
held to be important because it re-
veals the life of people during the
early Christian era.
The records obtained by Professor
Kelsey constitute part of the files
of a record Office in or near Tebtunis,
Egypt, and We're discovered four
months ago. They are written on
papyrus and are chiefly in Greek, a
few being Denote. They are believed
to have been covered with sand soon
after the record Office fell and with
few exceptions are preserved per-
fectly.
The earliest record is dated Z AID.
and bears the signature of a woman
who agreed not to bring claim against
her brothers. Another record, of the
same period, is a contract of common
law marriage.
Among other records are contracts
of sale covering both personal and
real property, including lands, vine
yards and houses. There also are
leases, agreements regarding loans,
contract of indemnity, receipts for
wages, Il receipt for dowry, official Or
ders, petitions to public officials, tax
receipts, documents relating to trans
ferring ownership, OF slaves and part
of registry of deeds.
What is held to be the most impor
more than seven feet long and written
OH both sides. 1t is said to be a per-
feet example of an ancient book or
scroll of the kind mentioned in the
Bible, particularly in the Book of Rev
Citations.
The scroll. dated A A. D., contains
on one side abstracts of a number of
contracts and on the other is regis
try of the contracts, written in the
record office of the second year of EN-
peror Claudius.
Between ten and fifteen years will
be required to decipher all of the rec
orts and to explain them in their rela-
ton to Roman history, according to
Professor Kelsey. The university pro-
lessor asserted there could be no ques-
tien as to the authenticity of the rec
ordS.
Another collection brought to the
university by the professor, includes a
papyrus book of twelve leaves, in
which are written the lamentations and
formulas used by master magician.
There are charms and curses for va
rious occasions, one being love
charm In the prayers God and the
angels are invoked as well as the pa
gan deities of Egypt.

it is also due to the grasses and herb

grasses; experience has inclined the
opinion that way. They possess great
