mississippi Dragons"

Two deyil-like monsters painted and
carved on the face of a cliff 80 feet
above the Mississippi river near Alton,
ILL.,, were discovered by the French ex-
plorers Marquette and Joliet in June,
1893. They were known as the "Piasa
petroglyph" to psychologists and were
commonly called the Mississippi dra-
CONS. They were ranked as the fin
est example of early Indian art, and
many legends were told to account for
them. Marquette described them as
being "as large as a calf, with horns
on the head like deer, fearful look,
red eyes, bearded like tiger, the face
somewhat like mans, the body COW
cred with scales and the tail so long
that 1t twice makes a turn of the
body, passing over the head and down
between the legs. and ending at last
in a fishs tail" The painting was in
an almost inaccessible place on the
cliff and remained there until 1855 or
ST, when limestone workers quarried
back into the bluff and destroyed 1t.

Havana Motorists Keep
Cars in Front Halls

There are many strange sights for
the tourist to see In Havana, but per-
haps one of the most surprising comes
when he visits a Cuban home and sees
the family automobile In the front
hallway.
In all of downtown Havana, with It's
population of some 100000, space is at
premium. Streets are narrow and
houses are Joined together and are
flush with the sidewalk. When the
automobile came along many families
who could afford one uld not feel able
to pay garage rent, or did not care to
have their machine kept blocks Oh
even miles away.
Practically all of the front entrances
have wide double doors, and so the
cars found parking space indoors,
usually near the staircase. They
can be seen in scores of homes, but
the oil cans, extra tires and greasy
cloths usually found In an American
garage are tucked away out of sight.

Intelligence of Indian
Elephant illustrated

The real test Of animal intelligence,
according to Mr.. Samuel A. Derieux In
the American Magazine, is the ability
TO meet an Unforeseen difficulty, 10
grapple with a situation for which
neither training nor instinct has pre-
pared Here Is a good example,:
A traveller OF the name of Tenant
was once riding horseback along a
road In India, on both sides Of which
grew a dense jungle Suddenly his
horse SHE'D violently, and Mr.. Tenant
saw coming toward him a huge ele-
plant unattended and balancing on his
tusks heavy timber that he was evil
IDENTIFY carrying from a sawmill to the
shipyards. The timber filed the road
from side to side, and AIr. Tenant
could not possibly pass.
Suddenly the elephant, seeing horse
and rider, stopped and turned side
wise. Then ne backed a short dis
lance into the jungle and, leaving
room for horse and rider to pass,
snorted out his directions that they
should 90 on. But a horse is terribly
afraid Of an elephant, and Mr.. Ten
ants horse continued to rear and
plunge; the man himself, interested to
see what would happen next, did not
froee him to pass.
Deeper and deeper into the jungle
the elephant backed; stin the horse
reared and plunged At last the ele-
plant laid the piece Of timber down
and, pushing hard against the under
growth. disappeared. Then Mr.. Ten
ant rode past.
A short distance down the road he
refined In and looked back. The eIe-
plant came out of the jungle, picked
up the timber with his tusks, balanced
1t with mis- trunk and, turning 1t round
in the road, went on his way with
loud snorts of indignation and dis
gust.

THE ATMOSPHERE at the
Capitol and the White House is so
different these days that the mile
trip down Pennsylvania Avenue from
the legislative to the executive
branch of the Government is like a
journey into a new country. On
the Hill all is excitement, yelling,
cursing and undertaking that goes
with the head-long competition to
stir up scandal and apprehend the
guilty. The Senate many times
has been described as a mad
house," but in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant there have never
been times like these. At the
White House, on the other hand, all
is quiet, peaceful, serene. There is
no noisy hubbub, voices are not
raised above a monotone. 1t is
business as usual.
FIRE PREVENTION week will
soon be observed throughout the
United States. President Coolidge
has already drafted a proclamation
calling upon all citizens to join to-
gether in efforts to cut down the
nations great annual fire loss, and
will issue it to the press about the
middle of April.
