HALF DOG, HALF BEAR
lUnitad Newal

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. ID. -
Although scientists say 1t lsn'l
possible, the owner of "Toughle'
believes the animal to be half dog
and half bear. Appearances sup
port the claim.
"Toughle" is 13-months old.
His fur Is like that of bear. and
ne can climb trees. He has a stub
by tai. During the first winter
OF his life he would disappear for
days at a time and sleep in the
coal bin or elsewhere, paralleling
bears Information.
The animal was brought here
by Mrs. +. H. Miller of Grand
Valley, Col, who told something
OF his history. '"Toughie's" mo-
ther was large dog, she said. and
had a fondness for a black bear
that roamed the woods near the
Miller home in Colorado.
DR.. Miller and ne ghbors fre-
quently saw the dog and bear to-
gether, and remarked on the un-
sual companionship of the two an
imals.
"Toughie" was born with a lit
ter OF puppies that were normal
dogs He, alone, appeared to be
part bear.

And, according to&one very fa-

I If your street dresses haven't

I Evening gowns, I was told, will

Coats are to flare on each side

was In vogue last year to some ex-

And hats are to be of velour:

CURSE PUT ON
CHARMERS :

THROUGHOUT India the sud-
l. den sound of a thin, melodi-
Gus whine from a gourd flute,
accompanied by the rattle of
monkey drum, is a signal that the
snake charmers are bidding for
your attention. They are present
everywhere. Whenever crowds
gather for a. festival or a bazaar,
or merely for conversational pur-
poses. you are sure to find the
snake charmers among those pres
ant.
When you trace the sound Of
the music to it's source you come
upon a group of dark-skinned rag
amuffing dressed in the saffron
robes Of their calling. Each of
them is ,squatting before a flat
wicker basket. As he plays his
intriguing, mesmeric. wierd music
the lid of the basket slowly rises.
AS it falls slowly back it reveals
the heads of cobras emerging.
They sway rhythmically inS time
to the music as they rise from
their basket homes. Their eyes
fastened immOvably on their mas
tiers. they dance to the music with
which he fascinates them.
Inc snake CHafmeTS are Ill no
MAIDS of the caste Of Mats. They
art doomed by an ancient curse to
wander all their lives, to be vaga-
bonds. eternally homeless, eternal
lv restless and wandering. The
story of this curse is an interest
ing one.
Once upon time the god Wish
nu. having assumed temporarily
the form of a thousand-healed CO.
bra, heard the irresistible call OF
the music Of a Nat. His snake
nature forced him to enter the
dance along with all the other
snakes. which had been lured
from their haunts by the magic Of
the music. Furious at having
been forced into so humiliating an
exhibition, the god placed curse
from that day upon all the tribe
of snake charmers.
And so the saffron-robed tribe
pursues it's restless way. They
wander over the face Of the earth.
always where there is a festival
or a fair.

GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS OF
MAGIC CURVES OF SCIENCE
Explains Meaning of Terms "Parallax,
"Parabola" and "Hyperboa"

There would be no matf1e-
matics and consequently no. exact
science but for what has been
learned about the properties Of
four particular curves, viz: The
Circle, the Ellipse, the Parabola,
and the Hyperbola.
A circle is a closed curve every
part of which is equally Instant
from a point within called the
center.
The ellipse is a more or less
elongated closed curve, having
two points within called the foci,
both Of which lie on the straight
line that forms the longer axis Of
the ellipse. In every ellipse the
sum of the distances of any point
on the circumference from the
two foci, is equal TO the length of
the longer, or major axis. An
ellipse Is not simply on oval. You
may draw a hundred ovals not
one of which will possess the
peculiar properties Of the ellipse.
The paths of all the planets
around the sun are ellipses.
We now come to the parbola,
shown in Figure 2. It's popularity
is that every point of the curve
Is equally distant from a point
within called the focus, and from
a straight line outside running
at right angles to the axis,
called the directrix. If you meas
ure in the figure the distance
of the points P and P1. respect
lively, from the focus F. and the
line of the directrix, or If you
similarly measure any other
points anywhere on the curve,
you will find, barring slight in
accuracies of drawing, that you
are dealing with a parabola. and
not with an accidental curve that
has no character to lose. BY
making a larger figure, and fol-
lowing the directions just given,
you can produce quite an accu-
rate parabola.
The two branches OF the para
bola keep widening apart, though
at decreasing rate. so that after
a time they seem to be becoming
parallel. But they never do be-.
come parallel, and never meet
again, so that the parabola is not
a closed curve, and IL a celestial
body Travelled around the sun in
a Larabola 1t would go away and
never come back.
The hyperbola is also an open
curve, whose two branches. how
ever. never tend 10 become nearly
parallel like those OF the para.

WHEN TO SEND
GIFT
IMrs. CorneIius Beeckman
nEAR MRs. BEEcKMAN:

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
u Is 1T proper to give a we'd
gift even If / have not been In
Vited to the wedding?
(2) If so, shall address 1t to
"Mr. and even IL / send 1t
in time to arrive before the we'd
ding? A. 3. G.
NlHE propriety Of sending a
i wedding present when you
are not invited to the wedding
would depend on the kind OF
wedding it is to be. If there
were to be a large wedding, with
a general invitation list and you
were not invited the sending Of a
present would be decidedly over
generous, perhaps even in bad
taste. It might give the impress
sion that you were trying to force
yourself on the family, even
though you were not invited to the
wedding. II, however, the wedding
were to be a small one and prac-
tically limited to the two families
or to few very close friends, then
you could. If you wish. send a
present. In this case you would
realize that you were not invited
because Of necessity.
(2) A. wedding present should IN
variably be addressed to the bride
to-be and sent to her at her home.
This is true even If you know
only the groom. ALI wedding
presents are sent to the bride
because they belong to the bride.
Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to
answer questions on etiquette
submitted by readers).

about.
Parallax fs the difference in the
direction of an object as viewed
from two different points; as, for
instance, a star observed in turn
from opposite sides Of the earth's
orbit. or the moon observed from
opposite sides of the earth. The
parallax is measured by the angle
between the two lines OF sight.
Our Figure shows this graphic
ally.

the angles of triangle aMb. or
