STRANGE MONSTER IN AFRICA
English Scientist Tells of Creature
Which He Thinks May Have
Been Giant Python.

F. c. Cornell, Fellow of the Royal
Geographical society, who recently re-
turned to England after spending
twenty years in practically unknown
parts of South Africa, is author of
story about an unknown monster that
had been seen near the Great falls of
the Orange river. 1t has huge head
and neck ten feet long like a bend
ing tree. 1t seizes the native cattle and
drags them under water. The natives
call it "Kyman," or the Great Thing.
Last May Mr.. Cornell, accompanied
by two white companions, w. Fl.
Brown and N. B. Way of Capetown,
and three Hottentots, went to the
junction of the Cub and Orange riv-
ers to see the monster if possible
He writes: "At the cries of the ma
tives | saw something black, huge,
and sinuous swimming rapidly against
the current in the swirling rapids.
The monster kept it's enormous body
under water, but the neck was plainly
visible The monster may have been
very gigantic python, but If it was
it was Of an incredible size. This rep
tile may have lived for hundreds Of
years. Pythons approaching it in size
have been said to have lived that
long"

10000 MILES OF GOOD ROADS

When the Federal Aid highway
system provided for by the recently
enacted Federal highway act is com
pleted there will be net work of
roads 100000 miles in length cover
ing the whole United States. The
time required for the completion of
the system will depend upon the
rate at which the necessary Federal
funds are provided, say officials of
the Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture,
which administers Federal Aid mon
ey.
An idea of what these roads will
mean to the country can be gained
by studying the effect of roads built
in recent years and picturing wha
would happen should thev be torn
up and left in their former condi-
ion.
Should these roads go back to
their former state and the motor We
hicles which have come with them
disappear there would be many
changes. Many suburbanites would
have 20 move into the city and there
would be a decrease in value of sub
urban real estate. Cities would have

trouble in getting their fresh milk
and food supply. Much farm land
would decrease in value and the eff
feet on rural social life would be
serious. In fact, motor vehicles and
the roads on which to use them
form such an important part of our
economic and social life that it is
hard to picture to the full extent
what would happen.
Since all this dependence on high
way transportation has come in a
brief period of years and with the
construction of lis 900 miles of sur
faced highways, $4,000 of which are
on the proposed Federal Aid high
way system, it can be understood
what further changes will take
place as the system grows to 1S0 900

built branching out from it.
