Mr.. Rexrioat states that reports Of

tion OF those who are barring parents
and friends from Opals presence.

Stops Planes Cotton Waste.

Cotton waste, which has long been
used in cleaning all kinds of machin-
cry, has been banned in the workshops
of the Canadian air service. When
airplane engines are overhauled and
waste Is used, the engines have often
stopped when they were afterward
placed In service.
"These cases have appeared to be
due not to waste being accidentally
left in the engine parts, but to an ac-
emulation of small pieces Of cotton
thread that had been left on engine
parts after cleaning with waste" says
Lieut. Col. f. w. Stedman, director,
technical section, Air Board. He urges
that commercial companies also pro-
hibit such use Of waste.-By Science

Cow Moose SkiIfuI Boxer.

In the northern and western forest
regions of Canada the snow piles deep
ly throughout the winter. In these
forests roams the king of the deer
family, the moose. To combat the high
piling drifts, the animals gather In
little bands Of from three to dozen
head and trample down. the snow over
certain limited areas. thus, when the
snow lies all around them, from three
to eight feet deep, the moose have q
small stretch Of country packed hard,
so they can get around easily to
browse OFF the surrounding trees.
From these yards" as they are
called, the moose are at times driven
by wolves or by dogs and men. The
animal founders through the deep
snow till 1t is exhausted, and then
proves an easy prey to its pursuers.
Though she has no horns, the cow
moose possesses dangerous weapons In
her two forefeet, which can strike for
ward with the skill Of a boxer and
deliver most telling blows.

Ipnortant Matter Settled.

The discovery Of an alligator fossil
in the shale rock Of Bay de Noe is
considered by biologists 70 prove that
this peninsula was not created until
fish and other forms of animal life had
begun to exist in the waters there
abouts. This must bring great deal
Of satisfaction to the people living
there. Scientists had asserted recent
" that the peninsula was formed pre-
yious to the fish era, and was there
fore quite old. 1t seems probable now
that the place was created, say, only
400 600. 900 years ago. instead Of 500,
100000 years ago. SO the people need
no longer apologize for not having a
place just as new and up-to-date as
any of us.-Detroit News.

HAS MADE HER LAST VOYAGE
Famous Clipper Ship, Built in 1869, 10
Being Broken Up at Ia
coma, Wash.

An old clipper ship, the Glory OF
the Seas, which 35 years ago set
record for "windjammers' between
San Francisco and Australia, is be-
ing broken up at Tacoma, Wash,
following the discovery that barna-
Giles have eaten into her hull beyond
repair.
The stout old ship was built at
the famous Donald Mckay yards in
Boston, Mass, in 1869, and since
then has sailed on all the seven seas
and called at most Of the important
ports around the globe.
Some years ago the Glory of the
Seas was purchased by a Tacoma fish
company and was put in the service
between Puget sound and' Alaska.
Each spring she would spread her
canvas and sail away to the north,
carrying supplies and employees for
the Alaska cannerieS operated by the
company and in the fall would re-
turn with the seasons catch.
The old boat was built of oak and
other tough woods, and some Of these
are still in good condition. She is
being broken up for what metal she
holds.
