THE CURTAIN OF
MYSTERY
BY ALBERT APPLE

THE skeleton of prehistoric woman giantess eight feet
TALL has been dug up in the Salmon River country Of
Idaho Scientists excited about the find The skeleton
probably will wind up in a museum, to be by only n
small portion of the public.
What pity old r. T. Barnum isn't alive to ropularze
these scientific discoveries by making people pay admission
to them One for the appropriately of knowledge
is that it's free.
THE mysterious past is rapidly giving up its secrets The
skulls found recently in California belonged to people
who lived before the glacial period about $4,000 years
ago. according to latest estimates.
Another big find made by the Nevada mining engineer
John T. Reid Two ago he discovered what looked like
la fossil Of the sole of shoe II had marks Of holes
punched for thread This fossil found in rock millions
lof years old. It's scientific mystery Experts decide it
may be freak Of nature. They don't think people lived
that long ago.
Reds latest find is the fossil Of horses foot This
fossil is annoying the scientists They had it all figured
out that the horse originally cat-size animal with
four toes each foot and that evolution gradually turned
liz into the modern big beast with toes gone and hoos in
their place The fossil found by Reid should have toes In
stead it's like the modern horses foot Quite puzzle.
lCCIENCE reminds Of small boy, happiest when he is
ID roofing around in old attic You have observed how
scientists delighted when they find ancient fossil
from which they reconstruct the past.
Maybe you've also noticed the tendency of science to pay
thousand times much attention to the mysteries Of the
past to the great mystery of the futurenamey what
happens to us after death.

Kitty, accustomed to rats that
showed their heels, was somewhat
perplexed as to what to do when
they showed their molars She be-
gan to reason that things had gone
far enough as they were. The rat
had been removed from her premises
and was on a public thoroughfare.
Driving an intruder from private
property was perfectly proper. but
attacking some one on the public
highway, in the eyes of the law,
constituted assault and battery. So
Kitty started to relax and plan a
dignified retreat
But meanwhile the crowd of fans
had increased Sides had been taken
factions formed and roofing for
favoriteS begun. This was no time
to turn her back on common rat,
thought Kitty, Furthermore all ave
nues of escape had been cut off by
the congestion around her.
She stiffened her spine. raised her
fur on end, emitted a low feline
growl, and advanced. The rat did
not move. feline paw, bristling
with claws, shot out, and met an
equally dangerous slap full of roden-

The fight was on before passing de-

rat chased the cat to the sidewalk or
vice versa is not known, but when
passersby first were attracted to the
unusual scene the rat was standing
on it's launches with forelegs fixed
ready to land an uppercut and teeth
