Turkish MethuscIah, at 146, Refuses

A modern Methuselah, reputed to be

too old to travel" Fora Mehmed,

Fora, who has been working pretty

Fora produces Identification pa

and he refers to his closest competi-

hundred and thirty-seven years, as
"a mere boy" Fora has a son ninety
five years DID, and he has so many
descendants that he long ago lost

The aged Turk is skeptic on the
subject of matrimony. Having tried
the experience four times, he says
he speaks with a certain amount of
authority.

head bitterly, women, they may seem
as sweet as the rosy dawn, but, verify,
they are more often like thOrns, hidden

REMINDER OF MIDDLE AGES
English Clergyman Likely Will Have
to Stand Trial on the Charge
of Heresy.

Charges of heresy-with the posi-
bility that England will have an &C.
cleSiastical trial such as it has not
known since the Middle ages-haye
been filed against the Rev. II. u. A.
Major, principal of RipOn hall, theO-
logical institute in oxford, by the Rev.
Z. e. Douglas. Further action rests
with the bishop of oxford, with whom
the charges have been placed
The action grew out of an article
by the Rev. Mr. Major, in which he
said that the resurrection of Christ
vas spiritual but not a physical
happening. The Rev. Mr.. Laug!aS
charges him with publishing doctrine
contrary to the teachings OF creedS
and of holy scripture" and also "of
importing into the Christian religion
the teachings of the eastern mystic,
Buddha"
The Rev Mr. Major holds no ben
efice, so the case can not, be tried
through the bishops court The pro.
cedure which must be. followed Is the
old procedure by inquistion." Under
this the bishop having received the
Information appoints IAN inquiston

The Rev. Mr.. Major, since the filing
of the charges, has announced he will

ASKS PROTECTION FOR GAME

The latest application received by

Hawaii. The Hawaiian Fish and

a handful of the sportsmen in tie

less they take drastic steps the game

Bruce Cartwright, secretary of the
Hawaiian association writes that for
merly the islands were alive with
game, but due to poor law enforcement
and the lack Of adequate protective
measures the condition is now serious.
The greater part of the population
are Orientals, and to teach them that
game must be protected will prove a
laboriouS task. he says.
The Chinese dove, Mongolan pleas
ant and California quail are the most
common upland game birds, although
formerly peacocss, turkeys and wild
chickens were plentiful Golden
plover are very numerous during
migration Ducks and other shore
birds also visit the islands.

AS COMET SWINGS ITS TAIL
Speed Records of Celestial Bodies Are
All Broken When They Turn
Around the Sun.

One of the most remarkable things
about comets is the presence of a
tail. Not that all have them. Many
possess such appendages. and some
make marvellous displays. However,
the tail appears to be a transient af-
fair somehow due to tie comets
proximity to The sun. A periodic comet
which displays magnificent tail at
one apparition may show little or moth
ing Of this character upon another oc-
casion.
As a typical comet swings swiftly
round the sun, the tail seems to swing
around as well. Always it stretches
from the comet in direction away
from the sun. AS the tail may be
many millions of miles in length an
explanation is needed to cover the
question as to how it is possible in
a few days to swing the tail through
an arc Of $50 degrees. Some comets
are extraordinarily rapid movers as
they round the sun. Thus, the periodic
comet of 1913 reached, in its swing
round, the wonderful velocity of 500
miles per second. However, it Is more
particularly the rapid angular swing
of the tail that needs explanation. II
the tail is preciselv the same object
throughout, q 72-hour swing of hun
drcd million. miles Of tail through two
right angles would mean that the
terminal particles covered an arc con-
siderably over $50 C00,QO0 miles long
