MONSTERS OF DISTANT PAST
Proof That Birds Capable of Lifting
and Carrying Off FuIl-Grown
MeI Once Existed

Recent scientific discoveries In vari-
ous parts OF the world 60 to prove that
in tines ,0ng gone by there were birds
big euou&A 20 lift man into the air
withoUr 5iiculty, observes 4 London
Tit-E;-& writer.
It IS well known that on eagle with
q five-feet spread OF wings can lift a
lamb weighing ten pounds, and that
bird can generally lift one-half more
thar its own weight. Many of the
enorpi"i;S birds OF ancient times
weighed many hundreds of pounds.
and some Of them had 4 spread Of
wings which would cover present
day street car.
There once lived in the Rocky noun
tainS Of America race Of parrots
seven feet high. One nearly complete
skeleton CT this remarkable species
has been preserved, and fragments Of
others have recently been dug up.
These parrots are supposed to have
trodden the earth about 3,000,O00
years ago.
Another amazing creature was a
running bird Of prey Of the heron fam
lily. 1t had head larger than that of
a horse, with huge sharp beak, and
was eight feet high. Like the parrot,
it could not fly to any height. as its
wings were not large enough TO sup
port it.
In the island of Madagascar there
used to be an enormous bird called
the aepyornis. This creature was ten
feet high and laid eggs thirteen inches
long and three feet in circumference.
1t is supposed to have become extinct
only little more than century ago.
Although the aepyornis must have
been a sufficiently awe-inspiring sight,
the giant moa" of New Zealand,
which stood IA feet high and weighed
at least half a ton, must have been
even more so.

WELCOME TO HEAD HUNTERS
Ceremony Follows Return Of Victora
With Their Grewsome Trophies
Women in Welcoming Party.

Prof. Carl Lumholtz. in his book,
Through Central Borneo, - gives an
intimate description of head hunting
among the tribes there. He gives ii
description of u raid by ten BukatS
upon small party Of Saputans who
were on hunt. The s!ayers hurried
nf with three heads.
The last night out the head hunters
always sleep near their own kaponS
and early next morning, While 1t is
still dark, they come singing. The peo-
pie of the kampong awake, array them
selves IN their best tinery and go 10
nieet them, the wolaeu wearing their
newest skirts and bringing pieces OF
cloth to present to the conqueTorS. A
headsis carried suspended from the
coHqueror's neck until it is taken from
him by q woman, who gives him a
piece Of cloth to wear instead, pos
sibly as badge of heroiSm. 1t makes
no difference whether this service is
performed by his wife, by another
woman or by another mans wife.
Heads are then hung from a beam in
the house of the kapala. and the cloths
are returned to the women. The head
hunters must take their food apart
trom their associates, and in the pres
ence of the heads they have taken.
At meals a pinch Of rice is put into
q hole made with spear point in the
top Of the skull, and the head is ad-
dressed in certain words: Eat this
rice. Don't be angry. Take care OF
lae. Make this body Of nine well"
During the period Of restrictions i'm
posed upon the hunters the heads re-
main in the same place, sharing the
meals in this manner. After twelve
days no more food is offered the
heads.

the Republican Senators favoring the
bonus scheme
Predictions were made by Demo-
cratic Senators yesterday that they
would take the initiative in retrieving
the bonus bill from the Finance Com
mittee unless the Republicans did 90
at once. This report inspired TO some
extent the decision of Mr.. McCumber
and his associates TO make a final ef-
fort to agree upon and report bill
TO the Senate.
The threat had the effect OF arous-
ing the Republican bonus Senator'S.
Both sides in the controversy believe
the Finance Committee will have some
sort of bonus bill ready by the end of
the week and that there will be an
effort to set the equally unpopular
tariff bill aside to permit its considera-
tion. Any move in this direction is
certain to precipitate conflict that
will hold up the tariff bill for some
time to come.
Republican and Democratic Senators
opposed to the bonus have indicated
their purpose to avail themselves of
their Senatorial privileges and discuss
the bonus without limitation as to
time. Several Republicans who are
opposed to the Fordney- -McCumber
tariff bill probably lend aid and COM
fort to the Democratic minority in
keeping the bonus bill before the SEN
ate as long as both physical and vocal
endurance hold out.

CALOMEL DUTY TREBLED

WASHINGTON, May 23.--Retail drug
gists came under fire to-day in the
Senate for what were described as ex-
orbitant prices charged for medicines.
Senator Smoot (Utah) Republican,
predicted an investigation OF prices was
coming, and said that when II did the
people would know the truth about who
made the profits.
The attack on the druggists was made
during debate on a committee recon-
mendation that the present tariff duty
of Is per cent. ad valorem on calomel
be tripled Senator Smoot declared that
II this medicine were placed on the free
list there wouldn't be any reduction in
the price by the retailers.
Remarking there was no doubt the
druggists were charging excessive pr.ces

Gist in position where he could justify
the prices he charged.
1T probably would be better to place
this necessary medicine on the free list y
Senator Norris said.
1--WE cannot reach the druggist who
charges these exorbitant prices but we
can take away from him the argument
for that price"
Senator Hitchcock (Neb.. Dem) said
IL Congress wished the druggists to re-
duce their prices IL would have to do
it's part first by reducing tn; leyies on

Senator Simmons IN c., Dem) said
imports of caiomel were exceedingly
small. amounting in one year to as low
as 120 pounds, whereas domestic con-
sumption exceeded 1.00o.0c0 pounds. TIe
added that under the Payne -Aldricil
bill, which carried a lower rate. the
American producers had retained the
domestic market
Senator Smoot I'd that the As per
cent. rate was necessary compensation
to the manufacturers of colonel be-
cause of the increased duty on quick
silver which had been voted Nby the
Senate.
After rejecting IS to ss an amendment
by Senator Simmons to continue the
Underwood law duty of Is per cent. tn.
ssnate approved the committee rate. %

The Senate also adopted. over sharp
Democratic objection, the committee rate

House rate of 35 cents a pound after
voting down. 81 to Is, a motion by Sena-
tor Simmons to retain the Underwood
law rate of is per cent. ad valorem.
Senator McCumber said the committee
rate amounted to 80 per cent. ad
valorem, of which, he explained, 5 per
cent. was for protection and "a per cent
for compensation.
A new provision written into the
tariff bill to-day carries a duty of
cents a pound on casein or lactarin, a
product of skinned milk. used largely
IN coating paper. The duty was urged

which was represented By Senator Ladd

cations the Lloyd George Government
has not communicated the fact to the
United States.
No representatives have been APP
pointed by the London Government to
confer with the members of the Re-
funding Commission recently created
closed by the President and the Treas
ury Department, the bonus Senators
nevertheless contend that the foreign
debt can be used for financing that
project and the President finally in
duced to sign the bill authorizing.
1t is probable therefore that any
measure Mr. McCumber and his as
sociates may produce in the next day
or two will contemplate the use of the
foreign debt regardless Of objections
raised by the President and Secretary
Mellon. to say nothing OF the Liberty
Loan laws which direct the use of
wartime obligations.
The sales tax suggested by the
President to finance the bonus bill
already has been rejected by the farm
bloc. The President has repeatedly
declared he will not countenance any
scheme that imposes further taxation
on the already overburdened people.
Hence the probability is that regard
less of the executive attitude the bill
Mr. McCumber and his associates will

who still labor under the delusion that

individual political fortunes.
The Democrats, fully appreciating
their partisan advantage, are doing

publican colleagues to take UP the
bonus and jam it through the Senate

two significant gestures during the
