The Tax Bill
The tax bill, which is now in the
House, will undoubtedly be amended
considerably before it is reported to
the Senate. Republican leaders ad-
nit that they can not marshal the
necessary votes to bring about the
enactment of the administration bill
without revision. The so-called in
surgent Republicans with II votes
have indicated that they will join the
Democratic minority to increase the
surtax rate from 25 to so per cent.
the political value of the
tax bill, the feeling prevails that
provision will be made for immediate
reductions to be made on income tax
returns for 1929. Secretary Mellon
himself has approved this plan.

Where Do Elephants Die?

One of the great mysteries of the
natural history world is where ele-
plants go when they die. Curiously
enough, the body of an elephant that
has died from natural causes has
never been discovered either in In
dia or Africa. Among native races
there is a widespread belief that,
when the great beasts feel the end
! approaching, they make their way to
some secret hiding-place in which
to die.
The whole question is just as big
mystery as ever, in spite of the fact
/ that many attempts have been made
to solve the problem. The districts
where elephants occur in a wild state
have been secured in all directions
in the hope of discovering the last
resting place of the huge animals,
but without any result. Quite re-
Gently another determined attempt
has been made to penetrate the
mystery, but, up to the present,
nothing of any value has been dis
covered
AS a matter of fact the problem
has more than scientific interest
to it.
Any individual who is so fortunate
as to find the elephants graveyard
Will certainly have made fortune.
On this spot there must be huge
accumulation of ivory, a commodity
which is continually increasing in
value.-Scientific American.

Moons Influence Negligible says u
$, Weather Rureau
| }

Modern science is unable to find
any evidence that the moon affects
the weather to an appreciate extent,
and unable to conceive of any reason
why it should The movements of
the atmosphere that give us different
kinds of weather all involve the ex-
penditure of an immense amount of
energy in the form of heat Such
energy comes to us from the sun, and
it's varying effects depend mainly
upon the varying positions of the
earth as it revolves around the sun
and rotates on its axis The moon
has no heat of its own. 1t merely
gives off into space that which it re-
ceives from the sun, and a small
fraction of this reaches the earth.
The amount of heat we receive from
the moon has been measured with
very delicate Instruments. It is so
excessively minute that whatever eff
feet it may have upon our atmos-
phere must be completely swamped
and obliterated by the enormously
greater effects of solar energy.
1t is true that the pull of the moon
and the sun upon the atmosphere
produces tide in the atmosphere
mucn IKE the tide IN the ocean. But
this, too, has been measured, and it
is found to be insignificant compared
with the alternate expanding and
shrinking of the atmosphere due to
heating by day and cooling by night
the heat tide so to speak
Hence it is of no practical interest.
The belief in dry and wet"
moons, indicated by the position of
the lunar crescent in the evening sky,
and a host of other notions associat-
ing the moon with the weather, are
merely idle superstitions. Moon
light is sometimes said to be con-
ducive to frost. The fact is that
moonlight nights are also clear
nights, and it is the absence of
cloads, not the presence of the moon,
that favors the occurrence of frosts
by permitting rapid loss of heat
from the earth.

scrap has been developed by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The remainder of the pro-
tein in the mash is contained in
vegetable form and the 33 per cent.
OF ground oats and bran gives the
rations the desired bulk. The mash
seems to be particularly good in
raising the hatchability and fertility
of eggs. The more stimulating
rations seem to cause an overfat con-
dition in general-purpose birds,
especially during the second year of
production. Special attention is now
being given to the vitamin content of
eggs and their fertility and hatcha-
bility as affected by rations.
