COUNT IS
WORKING IN
MILL
Ancestry Dates Back to Time
Columbus Found
America.

FITCHBURG, Mass, Jan. IL
Found-a count working in paper
mill as a mill hand.
He's Count Won der weide.
Baron Jean de Montenach. Sec
retary Of the League of Nations, 10
a cousin to the count. He recently
married Helen Gould, daughter of
Frank Gould.
OF Noble Ancestry.
His ancestry in the Swiss no.
bility can be traced back to the
days six years after Columbus dis
covered America. At the outbreak
of the French revolution his fam
lily dropped the use Of the title.
The world war and conseQuc ~
financial reverses brought young
Jean to this country.
Two years ago the youth bade
good-by to his aged mother and
father and sailed for this country.
He spent his first six months in
New York and in the Western
States. He then came to Fitch
burg, where he was employed by
the Fitchburg Paper Company as a
mill hand. Jean can be found any
day at the mill learning every de-
tail Of the paper business.
Believes in America.
America is the greatest country
in the world" he says.
His reason, he says, for learning
every detail Of the business is be-
cause some day he may return to
his own country and, with finan-
cial backing, may establish himself
in the paper business there.

Paper SauOs TO Cut Wood

Circular saws are made of paper,
for use In making veneer and fine fur
niture, and are turned cut in a fac
tory In England Thin plates Of wood
cut by these saws are so finely finished
that cabinet makers do not have to
plane them at all before they are used.
Such saws were originally shown at an
English exposition and were driven by
an electric motor. They are manufac-
tured from q special type of compressed
drawing paper.
Indeed, compacted paper of such
hardness has been made In England
that 1t has even been utilized in place
of building stone. Experiments in the
manufacture Of car wheels from com
pressed paper have been made in the
United States for number of years,
but the product has never competed
seriously with the ordinary steel
wheels II Is only in the production
of certain articles as che veneer saws
that any advantage is found.-Scien-
tific American.

WOMAN TELLS OF
HUNT FOR TIGERS
King of Beasts Leaped IS
Feet After Being Shot.

Miss Gertrude Emerson. who went
tiger hunting in IndseChina and who
tells her story in A,ia, never got a
shot at the tiger she hunted, but she
was one OF those to whom the prospect
Of killing is the least, not the greatest,
lure of the hunt.
The bait, a bullock, was slain and
wired strongly to tree so that the
tiger might not be able to carry it
away. Although the first bullock was
deyoured and had to be replaced with
another, the hunting party visited the
tree at intervals for several nights
without success. Tigers were known
to be In the neighborhOOd, for the
party heard them at night-''the heart
pumping cough of tigers. They gave
no long-drawn snarl, no roar, but three
and sometimes four hoarse coughs In
quick succession"
Then one night just as violent
storm began to slacken the hunters set
out on foot. The men had each an
acetylene lamp fastened to the front
Of his cap. The grass was taller than
their heads as they struck off through
1t in diverging lines like the spokes of
a fan.
81 could Just see the little glimmer-
ing lights and a blur Of white faces
dwindling to pinpoints. At what mo-
ment would my electric torch be re-
fected from a pair of green eyes? One
of the men let out a blood-curdllng
yell, and we all ran stumbling towards
him. He had stepped on a wild pig
Our eyes and ears were strained 10
the least unaccOuntable CULVER In the
darkness Of wet grasses swishing like
endless waves and closing in like the
sea over our heads. For sheer sense
of danger that wild stalking through
the night was as thrilling as anything
in my life"
But they missed the tiger and only
lost themselves. 1t was the day after
Miss Emerson had to leave that the
quarry was obtained. Early in the
morning as the hunters were about to
return from another vain visit to the
bait they became aware of furry
among the birds and monkeys They
craned their necks and held their
breGths.
"The tiger cautiously slipped into
the opening, walked up to the bullock,
put his nose down to 1t and then stared
straight over the top of 1t as if he had
heard or smelled something. The mo-
ment had come to fire. The tiger
jumped straight up Is feet into the
air but instead of falling backwards
he came down square on his feet and
in two leaps had vanished into the
jungle. The stained earth showed
that he was badly wounded. A
trailing party armed with knives
and stout rope went after
him. hundred yards from the
bait they came upon him dead. With
a bullet through his heart he had
still run a hundred yards in the dense
junglel Our tiger, whose footprints
had seen and whose voice had heard,
even though l never looked him square
In the eye, was a true king of beasts"
