ABSOLUTE ZERO HAS
NOT BEEN REACHED

science assures us that there Is n
definite limit to the lowest conceivable
temperature, and that this NAV he
placed with conceivable accuracy at
400 degrees below zero on the Fahren-
helt scale.
IL is held that at all temperatures
above this absolute zero" particles
OF matter. either solid or gaseous. are
In state OF vibration. the more ranid
vibrations corresponding to the great
er degree Of heat. All such vibrations
would cease entirely at absolute zero
and all gases would lIquefy and even
soiidify before reaching this absolute
zero point.
Many experiments, extending over
long period Of years, were necessary
TO attain this knowledge. LIQUID mir
with Its 3l2 degrees below zero. was
great advance on previous records
although still over 100 degrees ahova
this absolute zero. Liquid hydrogen
AT minus 422 degrees, or 81 absolute

had gone MS far as 1t could In this d.

Synthetic Sugar Made
by Australian Scientist

An Australian scientist announces
mat in his laboratory he has been able
% produce a synthetic sugar which
1lffers in no way from the product of
me cane. Experts, according to the re-
port, have been unable to distinguish
between the artificial product and the
genuine grown variety.
The actual process of manufacture is
at present carefully guarded secret
The principal difficulty to be overcome
was the producing, in the laboratory
and by chemical means, the condensa-
ton of certain elements which is eff
fected by sunlight during the growth of
the cane in the field. Careful expert
mentation has solved the problem, says
the inventor of the process, reproducing
perfectly the actual conditions of
growth.

The ONLY REAL SURVIVOR OF
CUSTER'S LAST RALLY

duced more last survivors" than any
other event In history and II all the
claimants to that title had actually
been there the wonder Is that the In
dians did not flee precipitately at the
appearance of this overwhelming
force. Perhaps Curley, the Indian
scout who Is still living on the Crow
reservation, has the best right to the
title, although that has been matter
OF dispute for years. Curley went into
the battle with the Seventh cavalry,
but he escaped before the Sioux swept
over the remnants Of Clusters little
band OF heroes crouched on that bar
ren hillside near the Little Big Horn.
As for survivors Of Clusters last
rally, there was only one and that
was horse. He was a "claybank"
sorrel named Comanche and he was
ridden into the fight by Capt. Miles
W. Keogh Of Troop OF the Seventh.
The horse was acquired by Captain
heogh and given the name Comancbe
during the Sully expedition to the
sand hills Of the Canadian In Okla
homa In 1868. He was wounded In
one or the battles with the Indians
and ever afterwards Keogh rode him
on field expeditions.

fling barrel of cider to his knees an
holding 1t there while he drank from tn,

billions In pioneer days, but there have
been others who proved that the
frontier bred men Of giant strength
! Bat Masterson, the famous marshal OF
Dodge City, Kan, in Its gun-fghting
days, was one of them.
One day Masterson tried to pull a
drunken cowboy from the saddle to
subdue him. The puncher closed down
on his pony with vise-like grip of his
knees. The athletic Mr.. Masterson
gave mighty tug and down came
pony and rider in a heap.
But for sheer brute strength, take
the case of Joe Beaupre, a French
Canadian who ranged the buffalo
plains of the Red river country in the
Dakotas and Saskatchewan In the old
days. According to tradition, Joe was
so strong that he never would fight
any man for fear of killing him, and
there are plenty of incidents which
show that his fears were justified.
One day while he was driving a
lorse hitched to a sledge along a mar
ow trail, the animal baked and
5eaupre could not bulge him. Finally
ecoming enraged, the man struck the
erverse animal blow behind the ear
'hich stretched 1t on the ground dead.
hen loosening the harness, Beaupre
licked the dead horse up, tossed it to
ne side Of the trail and went on,
ulling the sledge himself.
Although possessing such terrible
rength Beaupfe was not a giant In
ature. He was less than six feet
ii, but he was broad-chested and
ocky. Second only to his physical
rength was his prowess as an eater
Id he would have been famous for
