LINER PITTSBURG

The Former Was Listing to
Port in Heavy

Boston, Nov. 1.-The Italian steam
er Monte Grappa which sent out calls
for assistance from mid ocean early
to-day was in need Of no further aid
after the White Star liner Pittsburgh
had responded to the call, according to
radio messages received here. The
Monte Gfappa, which left Montreal on
Nov. 4, for Venice, gave her position
as latitude 43.l2 north, longitude 4l.55
west, or about 1000 miles east Of Hal
flax, N. S.
The Pittsburgh, bound from New
York to Bremen, changed her course
on picking up the calls and sent word,
later that she was standing by the
Italian steamer and was able to han
die the situation. The early mes
sages said the Monte Grappa was list
ing to port in heavy seas.
The Italian steamer registers 4,46l
tons and is in command of Captain
Bartoli. Captain Jones commands the

than the amount Of water that evapo-
rates from the surface. AS the amount
of evaporation naturally increases
from the polar regions toward the
tropics and is affected by winds and
elevation, it fellows that no arbi-
tary amount of rainfall may be .des-
ignated as an invariable cause or ac-
compartment of arid or desert condi-
tions
Thus in certain portions of the trop-
ic a rainfall of less than 10 inches
results in aridity, while some of the
most fertile agricultural districts In
the north and south temperate zones
receive scarcely onethird this amount.
And deserts occur in all lof tn great
land divisions and reach an enormous
extent in Africa, Asia and Australia.
The most pronounced desert condi-
tions of Southt America are found on
the western slopes and benches of the
Andes. On locality, that Of Copiapo,
has an average precipitation Of o.
inch year and so far as known is

Hair Burning.

Put some Of your hair in the fire
III it burns slowly, you win have Q
long life; if it burns quickly, a short
one" This rather common super
stition has as its basis that primitive
conception of the hair as being, like
the nails vital an dintegral part Of
the man himself-a conception which
is found surviving in many modern
superstitions.
So much was the hair regarded as
the person himself that the ancients
frequently offered their hair is sacri-
fee instead of immolating themselves
which was just as effective and much
pleasanter. In the superstition under
we see a survival of this
custom AN offering of the hair TO the
gods. And as in all sacrifice the dew
otees sought for sign in the condi-
ton of the victim, which was revealed
by an examination after sacrifice or in
the maner in which that which was
sacrificed underwent the operation So
we see the idea continuing down to us
Of prognostic in the showness or
rapidity of the burnings of the hair.
Some anthropologists hold that the
offering of hair to the gods was orig
nally vicarious human sacrifice, and
came in when human sacrifices them
selves began to lose their popularity as
savagery decayed. Washington Star.

100000 Prisons Live in Sahara Des-
art

a desert is popularity held to be a
region wholly or partly without vege-
tation, a region that is rainless, usual
| ly sandy and commonly not habitable.
This idea,, however, is based upon
error. There is failure to recognize
the fact that whether or not region is
habitable is not criterion of its arid
ity. The development of modern
| methods Of transportation has made
possible the maintenance of dwellings
and towns with considerable popula-
tion at one or even two hundred miles
from the nearest supply of water.
Even such facilities are not necessary
to the sustenance Of a population in
deserts Of the most extreme type, as
illustrated by the Sahara, which has
a population Of two and half mil
lion.
So far as vegetation is concerned the
actual number of individuals is much
less than on similar area in moist
climate. This in fact is one of the chief
characteristics Of desert. but il
would not be safe to estimate the to-
tai number of species much below the
average number
Lastly, II is to be remembered that
local topography has little influence on
the desert character Of region. Sandy
fats, plains, valleys and rocky hills
reaching to such attitudes as to become
mountains are included in some desert
tracts. Ii follows as natural conse-
qnence of the sparse vegetation as one
factor that the surface layers of the
substratum, being usually dry in arid
regions, are readily shifted and worn
by winds.
What, then, is DESERT
The term desert may be applied to
areas Of the earth's surface which sup |
port sparse vegetation Of a more or
less specialized character owing to sin- |
adequate rainfall or to the unsuitable
or lack of soil OF these
conditions scanty water supply may
be regarded as OF the greatest import
ance, and 1t is TO this factor that most
deserts owe their existence.
Deserts conditions arise in any region
in which the rainfall is markedly less

Burlington, Nov. l4.--Practice for
the Middlebury game, the deciding
contest in the Vermont state series,
which is to be held next Saturday at
Middlebury, has begun in all its in
tensive at the University Of Vermont
football encampment. Two powerful
searchlights, shedding their brilliant
rays over Centennial field, provided
light for vermont's preparation for
this all-important contest.
Coach Tom Ready, in spite Of the
enormous score which Vermont piled
!. up in the Norwich game, and knowing
!. the potential strength which Dave
Morey's eleven is capable OF produc-
ing against the Green and Gold, is
working his squad in secret drill until
long after dusk. Night signal prac-
tiee is also on the weeks schedule
Vermont is fortunate in injuries this
week, having only Fastburn out Of the
play and barring accidents, the Green
and Gold will invade the Middlebury
bailiwick with its strongest combi-
nation. No scrimmage has yet been
held this week and it is not expected
that the coach will dwell much upon
this type of play, stressing signal
practice for the most part.
As this is the deciding contest of the |
state series, both Vermont and Mid
dlebury having already defeated Nor
witch, Coach Ready viii muster all his |
skill and grid tricks to outwit the fast |
Blue and White outfit.
Middlebury, Nov. 1.-THE Middle
bury varsity went through new for
nation to-day in preparation for the
struggle with the University of Yer
mont Saturday. The squad came
through the Columbia game without
any serious injuries. Riegelman, right
guard, was injured early in the game
so that he was taken out but there
is no expectation but that he will be
able to start Saturday.
The remainder of the week will be
devoted to the perfection of new for
nations and strengthening Of the
aerial offensive.
In spite of the score Of 6l-0, rolled
up by the Green and Gold against Nor
witch, as compared with the 200 score
of Middlebury with the same team
three weeks ago, the college has not
lost faith in the ability Of its varsity
to hold the northern rivals. This
years outfit is real fighting team
and especially against the Vermont
eleven may be trusted to put up a
real scrap for the state championship.
