FACTS NOT
GENE RALLY KNOWN

Buildings of the University of
Vienna are becoming unfit for use
due to neglect and lack of money
for repairs. The roof of University
Hall has not been repaired since
before the war and the rain is COM
ing through, loosening the plaster,
cracking the mouldings and staining
the fine frescoes with dampness.
The first form of an automobile
made its appearance in the United
States in 1895, according to an ad-
vertisement appearing in the Column
bian Sentinel of Boston, October ID,
1905. 1t was heralded as the first
moving carriage to appear in this
country and the admission charge
was three shillings.
Easter Island in the South Pacific
is virtually devoid of vegetation and
without bird life of any kind. Heavy
winds prevent birds and trees from
existing on the island, which is tri-
angular, IL miles by by Z. Two
hundred Polynesians living there suf-
fer perpetually from hunger. There
are many high, carved stone images
on the island, the origin of which
never has been determined.
The Fascist of Italy forced each
landowner to hire stated number
of laborers for every hundred acres
of land he owned or operated. This
was done to abolish unemployment
and increase production.
A newly discovered fiber known
as "arghan" may take the place of
flax and cotton in the manufacture
of textiles. 1t is said to be half as
strong again as the best flax and
hemp, weaves into fine cloth that
bleaches and dyes easily, resists the
action of sea water and has unex-
celled wearing qualities. 1t is de-
rived from a plant of the maguey
or pineapple type which originally
grew only in South America. 1t is
being transplanted to the Malay
states, Ceylon and India by manu-
facturers who plan to bring it to
perfection.
Synthetic camphor, made from
the turpentine of the pine forests of
the south, is expected to remove
Japan's control of the supply. The
new process does not require elab-
crate machinery and can be made in
plan units, and by-product, which
is the result of this synthetic treat
ment has a commercial value al
most equal to the cost of the origi-
nal turpentine.

The Savannah river is carrying
l35 carloads of Georgia farm land
into the ocean daily, because the
wanton destruction of forests has

In Mukden, Manchuria, there is q
street car line over which little
dilapidated cars, each drawn by
three Monaghan ponies, run from
the walls of Mukden to the railroad
station in the japanese zone. These
same cars were used on the cross
town line in New York City 80
years ago. When New York dis
carded them they sold the cars to
Tokyo, Japan, and when Tokyo
adopted the electric system the cars
were sold to a firm in Mukden.

Equipped for Winter Work

j. K. Amenda, manager of the
Illipah Petroleum company, who
visited the camp last week, states
that all pipe lines have been buried
beneath the freezing zone and that
a steam pump has been installed to
eliminate the danger of freezing the
surface pipes connecting with the
engine, and also that an ample sup
ply of wood for fuel has been laid
n, hence there seems to be no
-eason at the present time why a
campaign of development may not
be continued during the entire win
ter months. Mr.. Amenda has laid in
supply of provisions sufficient to
last the camp for thirty days as
precautionary measure against the
closing of roads by deep snow.-Ely

Feed Wild Game Birds

The open season for shooting wild
ducks and geese, closed Monday and
generally speaking, hunting during
the open season was good but not
unusual. 1t is the opinion of many
local sportsmen that duck hunting
could be materially improved by
providing suitable feeding grounds,
and acting upon this belief, the
members of Gardnerville gun club
will probably make an attempt to
prove this theory next season. While
feedin, on a small scale, has been
carried on during the past few years,
it has not yet reached a stage
of extensive outlay as is now being
planned.-Gardnerville-Record Cour-
Ter.
