eyes That Always stare.

Continental Europe boasts OF an
owl OF such stature and habit that II
has been named the eagle-owl. The
bird has an eye like an eagle and a
look like an owl. The owl look Is EN-
phasized by the fact that the eyes OF
this natural tield-pest destroyer have
never been known to move during
life. They cannot be moved after
death.
I The immovable eyeball Of this giant
owl has caused two German anatomists
20 examine the musculature of the
organ with view toward ascertain.
ing the why OF the steady scrutiny.
But the vacant stare of the wise old
owl still remains a secret except TO
the sophisticated bird. The anatomists
found the usual six muscles that con
troll the movements OF the eyes of ami
mails. The surmise is that from con-
tlnued staring and resulting non-use
the muscles have become functionless
The three pairs of muscles of the
eagle-owfs eye, all in balance and
immovable, suggest locomotives
driving wheel on dead center.

PROVED ABILITY TO REASON
Heartiess Old Baboon Leader Had
!! Qualities That Might Be Con.
sldsred Almost Human.

Apes are 20 human that even when
they display traits that in man would
be simply abominable one cannot help
laughing. A correspondent In South
Africa writes that certain large apes
are so much In the habit OF raidlng
the coffee plantations that they have
TO be guarded.
Among the coffee trees grows a
ahrub the fruit OF which the apes
particularly enjoy. But as wasps
fAsten their nests to the shrubs, the
apes, fearful OF being stung. usually
keep away from them. One morning
the people in a certain plantation
heard the apes making fearful out
cries and, rushing out, saw this
singular scene. A large baboon, the
leader of a band, was throwing some
young apes at the wasp nests just as
a boy might have thrown stones al
them.
The poor victims, stung by the In
furiated insects, were crying piteous
". but the old baboon paid no heeC
90 them whatever. While they wer'
suffering from the anger OF th'
,wasps he quietly proceeded TO regal'
himself with the fruit, which h'
could now pluck without danger DC
casionally he would turn round an'
graciously throw a handful to sons
females and young standing a LITTLE
way of.

WE'D ONLY CLOSE RELATIONS
Custom OF Burmese Tribe Leads "a
Marriages Between Extreme Old
Age and Youth.

The only occasions on which laos
and lassies of the Red Karen tribe in
Burma meet are at marriage feasts
and at wakes, according to the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine. These
festivals last over three nights ana
are veritable orgies, with great ex-
cess OF eating and drinking. Both
sexes are well-seasoned vessels, since
they begin drinking strong drink be-
fore they are weaned. Marriages are
limited to near relations and result
quite often In unions where husband
and wife are Of very unequal age, the
husband fifteen, the wife seventy, or
the other way about.
Punishment for marriage out Of the
clans was formerly very severe. A large
hole was dug in the ground and n
log placed across II, to which two
ropes were attached. The ends OF
these were noosed round the necks
OF the offending pair. They were
made to jump into the pit, and SO hang
themselves.
Now they are communicated In
stead, and never allowed to enter a
Karen village again. The two vii
lagos of Kara in the Nan-kwo circle
are said to be inhabited entirely by
such clipping couples.

HAS TWO CLAIMS TO FAME
Daniel Defoe Was Great Editor 40
Well as Writer Of Fiction That
le Immortal,

Daniel Defoe is thought of by most
present-day people only for having
written Robinson Crusoe," but his
reputation among his own contempt
raries rested on a great variety Of &C.
complishments, Of which producing
that now famous book probably came
very near the last. He was chiefly
noted, In his own day, as a very great
editor, the Detroit News observes. De-
foe survived three great political up
heavals, for he wrote and schemed In
the reigns Of James II, William III and
Queen Anne. His fortunes were varied
during these troublOus times and, as
he said Of himself, within six months
he saw "the difference between the
closet of king and the dungeon Of
Newgate."
One Of his greatest friends from
boyhood was Samuel Wesley. Wesley
and DefOe married the two daughters
OF a certain Doctor Annesley, Defoe'S
pastor. Samuel Wesley's two sons
were John and Charles, who after
ward became two of the most cele-
brated divines Of modern history.
Thus Defoe was their uncle By mar

GOOD ROADS
mean BETTER
MARKETS

Ceorgians are beginning to realtto
that one Of the surest ways to bring a
return Of prosperity to this state is to
establish the system Of good roads laid
out by the State Highway Department,
which viii assure them better market
Ing facilities for their diversified crops.
So long as bad roads make the near
est market a days journey away, our
farmers will be slaves to the one crop
system. With good roads, good mar
keis will be brought within few hours
Of every farmer and will enable him to
produce and market crops that will
bring him money all the year round,
and free him from the credit system
which impoyerishes him.
Georgia can only hope TO quit paying
tribute to the north and west when she
wakes up, as those sections have done.
20 the value Of good reads and good
schools TO the rural community. Mil.
lions Of dollars 90 out Of this state
each wear TO purchase food s,uffs that
can be grown right here in super-abun-
dance, but our farmers lack the incen-
tive for producing these crops because
marketing conditions in the past have
been so poor. Good roads will change
all this and keep at home the money
we are paying out 10 enrich the west
ern producer Of hay, grain, meat pred
ucts and canned goods.
If the farmer could realize what good
roads mean TO his welfare, he would
enthusiastically support the proposed
bond issue for good roads, for by this
means he will have his highways built
for him by the automobile owners OF
the country without having to pay out
one cent in additional taxes. The bond
plan simply takes the income from the
automobile license fees and gasoline
tax and converts it into a fund TO re-
tire the bonds, thus making it do In
ten years what otherwise it would take
thirty to accomplish.
Thinking citizens all over the stats
are turning to the bond issue as the
means for helping the farmers whC
have been stricken by the boil weevi
pest back to prosperity, and they are
supporting the measure with enthu
siasm.
Practically every civic organization
in the state has endorsed the gOot
roads bond issue. The Farm Bureau
Federation president, Hon. ]. W. Nor
ton, of Athens, is enthusiastically TO-
It, as are the majority Of the Chamber
Of Commerce in the state. The lnteE
esting thing about all this enthusiasm
for the bonds, however, is the fact tina
the people who viii have 10 pay TO
tho roads under the plan, tho aaton0
bile owners, are the ones most heartily
supporting it. They regard it as
measure Of economy. They say the les
sened wear and tear on their cars an,
the saving in gasoline consumption vii
amply compensate them. Tbs fagme
