SHINES, RICHEST OF
ALL GERMANS, DEAD
His Wealth Is Estimated at More
Than a Billion Gold Marks
interests All Over World.

Berlin. - Hugo SHINES, Germany's
foremost industrialist and one of the
richest men in Europe, is dead. His
wife and other members of the family
were at his bedside. He was operated
on for gallstones several weeks ago,
another operation was performed on
Sunday and his condition had become
complicated by peritonitis and pneu-
monia.
StinneG's death, it is believed, will
have profound effect on the develop
nent of German policy, since he al
ways was regarded as the ringleader
OF the intransigent industrialists,
whose policy of sabotage for Ger
many's treaty obligations contributed
in a large degree to the conditions
that brought on the occupation of the
Ruhr and the international problems
which followed. There is little doubt
that the Ruhr occupation, chagrin,
worry and overwork were responsible
for his fatal illness.
His death at the moment when
settlement of the Franco-German con-
tlict was in sight is regarded as Pc
culiarly tragic. His passing is not
likely to affect his industrial and
financial enterprises, FOR, although he
was their supreme directing genius,
he leaves behind perfect organiza-
ton able to continue his work.
Politically SHINES was an idol of
the German Peoples party, formerly
the National Liberals, which he was
said to have financed after the revolu
ton.

Many Volcanic Craters

When we think, of volcanoes we
generally associate them With some
foreign country, but here In our own
domain we have within a compare.
lively restricted area group Of 63
volcanic craters. This Is in Idaho
and the place is called the "Craters
Of the Moon" because the landscape
Is so cold looking and so barren OF
vegetation that it resembles the
landscape of the moon as 1t seems
to us when viewed through tel
escope. While 1t Is barren 1t is not
without color, for there is consider
able variation in the tints OF the
ground, which Is covered with the
frozen" lava which flowed from
these craters a few hundred years
ago. There is one field which is
called the Blue Dragon, which Is
lava Of a beautiful aurelean tint
and with polish as If it had been
vanished. There are cracks in the
deposit at regular intervals and all
Of similar shape, which makes the
mass resemble the scales Of great
dragon. These volcanic mounds are
Of various heights and some Of In.
teresting formation. with consider
able variation as to color. This
field is about three miles wide and
thirty long and has been recently
dedicated to the purposes Of pub
lie park. While 1t Is not exactly
accessible, it is not a difficult place
to get at and at the present time II
is little known. 1t is located be-.
tween Cary and ArcO.

Nafiue African LANGUAGE

The natives of Africa speak three
languages-Negroid, Hamitic and
HOttentOt-Bu The Hamitic
language, to which ancient Egyp-
tian belonged, is spoken in northern
Africa. The Hottentot-B ushman is
spoken by the dwarf and pygmy
tribes in the central part Of the
continent. The remainder of the
natives speak what is known as the
Negroid tongue. All these overlap
one another and 1t cannot be said
that all the tribes of central Africa
speak any one language. These
three languages represent many
dialects and seem to be distinct
from all other systems Of speech.
At least no close relation can be
discovered between them and other
languages.

Beginnings of Music

The beginnings of music-mak-
Ing, as 1t is practiced by uncivilized
people, offer curious reading.
Among savage tribes, it is said, the
earliest acquired musical phrase is
derived quite distinctly from a
simple howl, the notes gliding down
or up a scale by semi-tones. And
savages repeat over and over again
one phrase, their satisfaction in
having mastered which is child
like. AS the people rise in the
scale Of intelligence, their favor
lite musical phrases grow larger and
become more elaborate until a sys-
tematized making Of music can be
clearly discerned.
