BAD BOY ON OCEANS CHART
Geographers Tired of MisbehaVior OF
Falcon Island, Located in the
South Pacific.

Falcon island, in the South Pacific,
Is the most FESTIVE and changeable
piece of land in the world. 1t has
knack of disappearing below the waves
and then suddenly bobbing up again.
1t was first seen and charted by ii.
NJ S. Falcon in 1865. But in 1877 an
other ship found that the land had dis
appeared, though smoke was issuing
from the sea. The charts were al
tered accordingly.
Then, in 1885, the island returned
quite jauntily, and remained so long
that the steamer Egeria, in October
1889, charted it again, showing it to
be just over a mile long, a mile broad,
and 1873 feet above sea level at its
highest point. Early In 1894, however
a survey ship found that the island
consisted Of only a low stretch Of mar
row rock, less than 1000 feet in
length.
BY December of the same year the
island had bobbed up again, and was
over three miles long and nearly two
broad. AS If exhausted by such an
effort to increase In area, 1t vanished
once more In 1893
No further signs of ambition were
noted until 1900, when the island again
began to grow. Since then 1t has un
dergone many changes Today 1t Is
covered with palm trees and vege-
tation, but Its reputation for misbe-
havlor is such that no one will settle
upon it.-London Tit-Bits.

"Danclnu Attendance

When person pays marked atten-
tion to another he is said to be dane
Ing attendance" This phrase comes
from the Middle Ages. 1t was a gen.
orally observed wedding custom then
that the bride must dance with all who
asked her. In Christen's Estate of Mat
rlmony," a book published in 1549, is
found this record:
"Then must the poore bryde keep
fOote with all dancers, and refuse
non, how scabbed, foule, drunken, rude
and shameless soever he be-"
That 1t was not long before the ex-
preston came to be used flguratively
in the way it is used today is evil
denced by Shakespeare's use of it In
Henry VIII:
81 had thought they had parted so
much honestly among them Eat least
good manners) as not thus to suffer
man of his place and so near our
favor. to dance attendance on their
lordship's pleasure"

HAS BEEN UNDER SIX FLAGS
Five Emblems Waved over Texas Be-
fore the Permanently Of the
Stars and Stripes.

Six flags have been flown over
Texas. The first was that Of France,
brought by the explorer LaSalle. He
came down the Mississippi river to the
Gulf of Mexico. On New Years day.
1885. he sailed into Matagorda bay,
and there established a short-lived col
ony. A quarter of a century later the
Spaniards planted a mission at San
Antonio. Twenty-Five presidlos or
forts, with their accompanying mis-
sions, were founded on Texas soil dur
ing the hundred years Of Spanish occu-
patton, but they did not thrive.
Next, Mexican rule was substituted
with little better results, and at the
end Of Is years the Texans revOlted,
and established republic with the
lone star flag for their emblem. The
flag gave Texas its popular name of
the Lone Star State" The republic
lasted nearly ten years, and then, in
1915, 1t became one Of the United
States. Another change of flags oc-
Cured when, In the Civil war, Texas
Joined the Confederacy.

SOUND THEIR DANGER SIGNAL
All Beavers Understand warning
Which Is Conveyed to Them by
Their Fellows.

Although sometimes found in pairs,
beavers are essentially gregarious an
finals, and, like many inoffensive crea-
lures of that habit they have a dan
ger signal understood by all the mem
bers of the colony and peculiar odor
for keeping them in touch with each
other, writes r. /. Bocock, F. H. s., In
Conquest.
A suddenly startled beaver prompt
ly dives. and, as 1t goes under, 1t gives
the water a resOunding slap with Its
tail, which warns other beavers with
ing earshot that danger is afoOt. Down
they all go into the depths, leaving
no sign of their presence apart from
the rlpples on the surface Of the lake
or stream. The odOr which keeps the
community together comes from an
oily fluid discharged from couple Of
large glands beneath the root Of the
tail. This substance, known to the
Greeks as "castOrium," was at one
time in demand as perfume for
mans delight and as a panacea for his
ailments. To this day hunters use 1t
for bait, knowing that a beaver will
fearlessly enter any trap that smells
Of 1t.

Indian Mode Of Travel.

Throughout early history the Indian
is characterized by his mode of travel.
Explorers who first pushed up the
great rivers found the Indian navigat-
ing the water with his canoe. In the
northern part the canoes were of birch
bark, and of elm bark farther south.
The typical boat as shown is the dug
out wooden canoe, shaped from q
single large log, an excellent example
of which was found in the river and
mud near Hackensack, N. ]. Travel
over land required the use of the bur-
den basket A specimen Of this was
collected from the remnant Of the
Mashpee Indians, still living in Massa-
chusetts. The baskets were carried on
the back by means Of a pack strap
across the forehead or chest.

BIRDS FLY ACROSS ATLANTIC
Number Of Recorded Instances OF
Feathered Folk Being Seen and
Shot In Great Britain.

The London Geological society has a
record Of all birds observed In Great
Britain and the British coasts that are
not indigenous to the British isles, but
have flown thither from the Continent.
In England It is said that natural
lists, ornithOloglsts, lighthouse keep
ers, masters of vessels, coast guards
men, farmers and country gentlemen
report strange birds that they observe,
and always give the date and circum-
stances of their observations.
This list, 1t is said, reveals many
strange happenings. Birds native to
Eastern Siberia and China, North At
RIGA and the Arctic regions have been
observed in Great Britain, but, Of
course, this is quite rare. There are,
however, number Of recorded In
stances of American birds crossing the
Atlantic and being seen and shot in
England
Now and then birds that are not
strictly migratory gather in enormous
fiocks and sweep over several hundred
miles Of country The cause Of this
action is a mystery to the students Of
bird life.

Shasta county, California, is the
land of wonders, according to the Los
Angeles Times. The latest Is the
dancing egg. 1t is laid by an as yet
undetermined insect on the leaves Of
oak trees. Masses of these eggs cling
to the under side of the leaf and as
they advance toward maturity they
drop to the ground and dance about.
BY holding an oak twig containing
any number Of eggs to ones ear a
cracking sound may be heard like the
splitting Of electric sparks. The shell
contains a tiny grub, working for re-
lease.
When laid on a table these eggs
bound about and spring into the air,
sometimes to height of sixteen in
ches. They are particularly active
In the early morning.
This latest insect novelty takes
rank with the sulphur bug, which Is
at home in the red-hot roster piles.

Queer African Idols.

Very odd In appearance is a group
Of African idols recently brought to
the United States by missionary.
They were carved by natives Of Nj
geria. one Of the group, ''Ifa," a
queer-looking image with high
crowned hat, was the principal deity
Of Nigeria when the missionaries be
gan their work there. Besides "Ifa,"
the collection includes an odd-shaped
club, feared by the natives as the god
Of thunder and lightning. Another is
Il brass image, "Oshubgo," a mystical
feminine deity who rules over So
clety of fanatics. In contrast to these,
the missionary secured several cruel
fixes carved from ivory by Christian
lied natives.

Gotham Ha. Excitement

NEW YORK, Jan. 2-Federal prohibition agents and the city po- hce joined hands in what is declar- ed to have been the first success ful attempt to dry up New York during New Year celebration. The work of the dry squads was concentrated on Broadway and near by streets, where practically every restaurant, cafe and cabaret was raided and more than one hundred arrests made. In spite of these ac- tivities, however, the hotels of the downtown district entertained more than one hundred thousand holiday guests on New Years eve.
 Careless celebrating with fire arms resulted in the fatal wounding of one man and child and the ser ious injury of six or seven others.
