EARTHQUAKE WARNINGS
GIVEN BY PHEASANT IN
JAPAN, PROFESSOR SAYS

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2o.-Have
you a little neutrality-suspicious. In
your home? II not you should get a
pheasant. says Prof. r. Omori, a
Japanese seismologist writing in a
recent bulletin of the Imperial Earth
quake Investigation committee, for
this bird is exceedingly sensitive to
earth tremors even when so slight as
to be UNDESIRABLE by humans.
Observation of q pheasant In Japan
during a period Of about three years,
in which 20 earthquakes were record
ed on delicate instruments. showed
that It GROVES either before. or dur
ing. every slight shock In "a per
cent Of the cases the bird crowed be-
fore the scientists machine recorded
the Quavers, beating the instrument
by as much as eight seconds. In 20
per cent of the occurrences the bird
crowed simultaneously with sensible
earthquake motion: and In another
20 per cent of cases the bird crowed
when the motion was too slight to be
sensible to the observer. In only five
cases did the pheasant crow after the
motion was recorded. and only once
did he fail TO crow at all. 80
The keen perception of earthquake
occurrences by the bird is no doubt
due to its acute sense. by which II is
enabled mechanically to feel the mall
vibrations in the preliminary stage Of
the seismic motion. Prof. Omori says
1t Is known that earth shocks are
preceded by preliminary tremors that
are SO slight as to be hardly record
able. That the pheasant should be
worry sensitive and take alarm at the
slightest disturbance, either natural
or artificial. is probably a condition
necessary to its existence. the scien-
fist declares, as the bird with its long
pointed tail and comparatively small
wings, has no high flying capacity
and nestles on the ground among the
thick underground
1t was observed. however. that the
pheasant did not take alarm and crow
when the ground was shaken by the
passing Of cars. heavily loaded trucks
or wagons, or other artificial means.
In Japan. Prof. Omori writes. there
is a general belief that pheasants
perceive earthquakes much earlier
than humans. Certain other animals
show symptoms of terror at the time
of, or previous to, an earthquake, he
adds. and cites several occasions
when the musical croaking OF frogs
in a pond ceased just before or at the
moment Of a sensible tremor. II the
shock be strong there is caused q

Dustin Farnum's new picture,

cast OF principals and tho group is
all the more interesting for tina rea-

the case of 1.-THE Trail OF the Axe
which, for all its crowds of lumber

tell the story-the star and three as

Admirers Of Mr.. Farnum have al
most invariably found winifred King

the new picture again she occupies
high place. She shared honors
with him in his past successes

"JAN OF THE BIG SHOWS"

James Oliver Cnrwood, who has

of the Hudson Bay country in Jan

THE MEANING OF ADVERTISING

Every now and then we like to talk
and we like to do it in this way be-
cause the subject is Of equal interest
to the public. Frankly the interest
of the public, the interest of the mer.
chant and that of the Herald publish
ers are inseparably linked.
The public always is BEST served by
buying advertised goods. Goods that
are advertised are goods that are
more extensively manufactured and
consequently cheaper because of in
creased production. Moreover adver-
tising today is a guarantee of merit
No one need be afraid either of the
honesty of the price or the quality OF
advertised goods. Competition COM
pels honesty even If there be wish
to avoid it.
There is another benefit in local
newspaper advertising. When adver-
tising is thoughtfully employed 1t
means the building of trade for our
local merchants and this reacts in in
crease in real estate values generally.
a prosperous business section means
added population and increased con-
venienees. The whole scheme of ad-
vertising, merchandising and buying
is one of cooperation to mutual ad-
vantage.
The merchant always wins favor
able reaction when he talks frankly
in his advertising to the people and
shows them he is dealing honestly
with them and making a normal pro
fit.
The man who week by week con-
sistently in his advertising shows he
holds the public interest at heart is
the man who wins. Many merchants
lose the substance Of public conf
dence in graspinG for the shadow of
immediate sales.

-asyla NAY syfP-sNT RICE
"Adlny," Product az the Philippines,
Is Believed by Scientists to Have
Great Potential Value.

Attention is nov being given to q
half-wild grain called "adlay," which
grown In small quantities in parts
Of the Philippines is believed to have
great potential value. It is twice
as productive as rice, equally
palatable anG more nutritious.
Adlay by Itself will not nuke u
raised LOAF OF bread. Neither will
rice nor Indian corn for that matter.
1t has no gluten. But when mixed
with one-third wheat -four 1t makes
excellent bread and biscuits, the lat
ter somewhat resembling graham bis
cults. In the same mixture it is fine
for griddle cakes. Used straight" 1t
makes good crackers or hnrdtack.
The cracked grain Is first-class
breakfast food. The whole grain is
n satisfactory substitute for rice.
This valuable cereal originated In
the tropics of Asia, and in India 1t had
been used for centuries by SORE of the
native hill tribes. 1t contains us much
protein as wheat and more than three
times rs much fat. Experts say that
1t equals wheat as food for man and is
far better balanced" than rice or
corn as food ration. 1t can be used
Ike barley in soups.
The reason why 1t has not been
more extensively cultivated is that 1t
cannot be milled as easily as rice,
the grain being very hard. But suit
able machinery will overcome this
difficulty. Production per acre be
ing much larger than that of rice, its
cost should be lower and 1t may yet
supplnnt rice to great extent as the
leading food staple not only in the
Philippines, but elsewhere In the
Orient.

HOW ANIMALS REGARD MAN
According TO Opinion t1eId by cuvler,
They Look Upon Him as On, of
Themselves.

The reason why the professional
hunter is, as rule, so far ahead of
the professional biologist or zoologist,
lies in the circumstance that the former
derives his knowledge from inter-
course with animals In the wild state,
protracted often over very considerable
periods of time, while many of the
latter, by the nature of things, derive
their knowledge from Gagged specimens
only.
If Cuvier was correct in his opinion,
that the reason why animals take so
readily to man and so easily, under
friendly treatment, lay aside their shy
ness of him, lies in the fact that they
do not see in him being of differ
ent order but rather one related to
themselves, then it would appear that
they have stolen march on us, and
forestalled, from the time Of our ap-
pearance on the stage, pregnant to
them with such sinister possibilities,
an idea which, if we except few
isolated pioneers, has only in quite
recent times begun to get hold OF our
understanding. That animals look
upon man as one of themselves, and
not as an object entirely beyond their
horizon, is evidenced by the remark
able interest and curiosity regarding
him and his doings shown by wild crea-
lures, and by their desire to make
friends with him as long as their con-
tidence has not been met by rough
rebuke and persecution, which is. alas
the usual response given by the de-
stroyer of creation to such friendly
advances.-Hans Coudenhove, in the
Atlantic Monthly.

FIGURE IN OLD MYTHOLOGY
Legend Concerning Tantaius Has coun-
terpart in Belief Held by Tribe
OF American Indians.

According TO Grecian mythology,
TantaluS was son of Zeus, or the
Jupiter of the Romans. All Traditions
agree in stating that he was wealthy
king, but some call him king of Lydia,
in Asia Minor, while others king of
Corinth in Greece. He is celebrated
in ancient traditions for the terrible
punishment inflicted upon him after
death. II was related that he divulged
the secrets intrusted to him by Zeus,
and was punished in the lower world
by being inflicted with raging thirst,
and ut the same time placed in the
midst of lake. the waters OF which
he attempted to drink. From this
tradition the English language has bor-
rowed the verb to tantallze. that is,
to hold out hopes or prospects that
cannot he realized.
In his work. Voyages in the Interior
OF America Alexander Mackenzie.
the famous fur trader and explorer,
who crossed the continent TO what is
now the coast Of British Columbia.
tells OF n similar tradition common
among the Indians Of a tribe he calls
the "Chipouyans." At death they said
that the soul was placed In stone
ferry.boat, till judgment had been
passed on II. II the Judgment was
adverse, the boat sank in the stream,
leaving the victim chin deep in the
water, where he suffered endless
thirst. and made fruitless attempts
to escape TO the Islands Of the Blessed.
