PYGMiES AVERAGE 5 FEET
Wherever Found, They Possess
Certain Striking Resemblance
Neglect Agriculture.

/: There are certain popular errors
concerning the race Of understood
men and women known as pygmies.
Usually travellers have measured
the most diminutive specimens.
and thus an exaggerated idea of
their smallness has been produced.
The average stature Of the pyg-
mics that have been measured Is
about four feet eight inches, bun
the best authorities In anti~opOlogy
say that the real average limit OF
stature is five feet. Some are taller
than that.
The pygmies have been found in
eight or ten different places in Cen
trail Africa, but wherever found
they possess certain striking resem-
blanceS.
The plant furnishing the covering
for their huts is the same in the
widely separated regions visited by
Stanley and others, and the shape
Of the huts, rough hemisphere.
Is the same.
All the pvgmies are alike charac-
teriZed by neglect Of agriculture, by
the use Of poisoned arrows. and by

Found wranoeI Island in 1867.

The first authentic account con-
corning Wrangel island; which has
been attracting so much interna-
tional interest, was from Captain
long, master of the American whal-
ing barque Nile, who in the summer
of 1867 on a whaling voyage, named
this land Wrangel land, after Bar
on Wrangel, and two of the head
lands he named after one of his
crew named Thomas, this man be-
ing the first to see the island.
The promontOry Hawaii he named
after the island, where in winter.
in the harbor Of Honolulu, the
whalers made their rendezvous
there to outfit for another season.
These names are today on the
charts Of Wrangel island.

Cooper, commanding the United
States revenue steamship Corwin.
landed and took possession Of
Wrangel land in the name Of the

Animal So Small It Lives in a

So tiny that it can be seen only by

heretofore unknown, has been dis
covered by an eastern scientist. By
means of whiplash strokes of hairlike
projections covering its body it can
move rapidly about in drop Of water.
The little creature feeds chiefly on
germs and other animals living in the

than one-fourth as wide.

vice used for the work, he claims, has
saved him many hours of labor as well
as numerous painful stings.
The device is simple to make. It
consists of a circular rim and sup
porting fork made Of N-in. iron rod,
and a cone-shaped screen-wire basket
attached to the rim as shown. A stout
cane fishpole is used for a handle, maxi
ing the device light and easy to handle.
When the bees swarm, they usually
alight in one of the trees of the orchard,
and often at such a height that it is
almost impossible to capture them. AS
soon as the swarm is located and fairly
settled, the basket is raised under the
swarm and shaken so that most of the
bees will drop into it. Of course, many
bees escape but they will return to the
swarm and cluster on the outside of
the basket. When all is quiet again,
the basket is lowered in front of an
empty hive and the bees are induced
to enter their new home without much
trouble.

Uncle Sam Offers =
Great Aid to ALI

The public for the most part does
not realize how much service 1t can
have from Uncle Sam for the asking.
For example, many American com
panies doing an export business make
good use of the printed material of
the bureau of. foreign and domestic
commerce, but fail to take ada
vantage OF what might be considered
the bureaus greatest service--supply
ing specific information on demand. :.
Smaller companies particularly. {"
whom the various facilities of the
bureau should be especially helpful,
fail to take advantage of the services
that this organization Is prepared 20
render to any business, OF whatever
size, in response to specific questions. !,
In their contacts with the trade
bureau officials invariably find that
exporters rarely heard from by mail
do not lack questions in personal
conferences. Through no amount OF
published material can the bureau
anticipate and meet all the exporters
needs, and It's various divisions,
therefore, welcome opportunity TO
supply specific Information to meet
specific problems.

The railway executives of the coun-
ttryr are exchanging views as to the
best ways and means of meeting what
they regard as three fold attack
about to be made upon the railway
properties of the country. AS the
| executives see it, the railways are
facing three dilemmas:
% The forthcoming demands of
the big four brotherhoods for res
| toration of wages to the wartime
| peak.
| CD The demand of the farmers that
| railway rates on farm commodities
| be reduced.
(3) The probable attempt OF radi-
cal senator's and representatives to
/ modify the Esch-Cumnains law to the
detriment of the railroads. repeating
all the Favorable clauses and stiffen-
ing all the unfavorable ones.
/ First "Menaceo Real One.
The first of these so-calied men
| aces" Is a very real one. The broth
erhoods are now engaged in drawing
| up their demands. The engineers. the
| fremen, the conductors and the train
| men have met separately. but with
the same purpose in view, and they
will take concerted action to get
their pay back to the point where
it was when Il cut was announced
less than eighteen months ago.
The railroads recently resisted the
demands Of their shopmen for q high
or rate OF pay than the roads felt
they could give, and the strike grad
ually was broken. When 1t comes
TO dealing with the brotherhoods,
however. the proposition Is entirely
different one.
or course, the Railway Labor Board
may have something to say as to the
brotherhood demands, but In view or
the manner in which the anthracite
coal strike was settled. the rail-
road executives fear that they viii
come out at the little end OF the
horn In the "adJustn1ents' WHICH VIII
follow consideration of the brother
hood demands.
The labor board is without the
means of carrying its orders into
effect and some railroads are openly
defiant Of 1t. But, regardless or us
possible intervention and action, the
brotherhoods are going to precipitate
! a labor crisis which will be country
wide when their demands hnaiiy are

wool manufacturing has resulted in
a larger production. The labor stu
alton. while still acute, is being more
firmly handled by the authorities.
Legislative efforts have resulted In
increased revenues and a surplus over
expenditures.
In Argentina there has been large
increase in the acreage sown to key
being given to diversity of agri-
cultural production. The live stock
industry, while still discouraging
problem, has been slightly bettered
by increased exports. The wool and
hides and skins sales have contributed
to a bettered situation. Exchange
remains very much the same as last
year. Government budgeted expenses
are greatly in excess of those of last
year and will doubtless cause a heavy
deficit.
Brazil Shipments Grow.
During the first half of this year
there were heavier shipments Of all
the basic products of Brazil. with
higher prices, than during the cor
responding period of last year. The
coffee crop is expected to be the
largest for many years. Both cotton
and sugar production are estimated
at about the same and cacao ship
ments are increasing. Manufacture
ing industries are very active In all
parts of the country and railway
earnings arc on the increase. Estf-
mated budgeted receipts and revenues
show much smaller deficit than last
year. A sharp break IN. exchange
during recent months has curtailed
importations, but the general COM
mercial situation may be considered
fully as favorable as last year
The increased nitrate production in
Chile is ss.as rsfisetsd IN & the ,se general srat
half of 1929 almost four times, as
much nitrates were exported as dur
ing the same period in 1922. Copper
production also has materially in
creased. as have shipments of iron.
showing substantial increase. The In
creased revenues from exports are
still inadequate to meet government
expenditures. but there are several
make up this shortage. such as the
income tax and the sale of nitrate
lands. Government railroads are op-
Grating at profit this year and the
Chilean merchant marine shows signs
Of boom. The unemployment situ-
strikes in the coal fields have been
settled and there is a. shortage OF
labor in the nitrate fields.
Paru Gradually Improves.
Gradual improvement Is being
shown In Peru. Both exports and i'm
ports are increasing. The copper in

So that results obtained by Thomas

in analyzing the behavior OF the air

well as recording the pilots style o.

Advisory Committee for Aeronautics
has as result recommended that
more work of this kind be carried
out by various pilots and on several
types Of airplanes In order to obtain
information as to the properties OF
a machine which make it easy to land,
and the style used by the pilots who
make the best landings. Records are
also being obtained of the inclina-
