and much more attractive than the
bigger, but jungle-like garden at
Buitenzorg. 1t contained less num-
ber of tropical plants and trees, but
more artistic wild monkeys are said
to inhabit the place. We heard them
chattering at one point in the drive
and some of the jaded tourists at
tempted to answer them back, but ow-
ing to our different clothing the other
monkeys were too embarrassed to
come out into the open.
Shortly after passing the sacred
dirt and stone pile said to contain the
sacred remains of some old sultan
didn't get his name-where odd col
ored rag flags dropped and punk
sticks were kept burning around the
unkempt place along the roadside, our
car went into a spasm of Fourth of
July detonations and we wobbled over
to the roadside The grand parade
had gone on and our party of four
were out in the middle of no place in
particular with bum tire and {
driver who couldn't shake his head in
English.
We had spare tire along but no
machinery could be found with which
to put it on. We piddled along on a
flat to native village where the
driver spoke fervently in Sengalese
but only more sadness resulted from
the conversation, There was a tele-
phone hanging up on post near but
it utterly refused to accept any lang
uage poured into it. The darned
thing may have spoken English, but
didn't try it. Soon an English traf-
fic officer on motorcycle hove into
view. The native police clicked their
heels and saluted. The officer inquir-
ed into our trouble, then commenced a
vigorous conversation in the native
tongue. He seemed very much dis
guested in the native tongue but
pleasant enough in English after he
had finished cussing out the garage
owner who sent out the autos. We
were ten miles out of Singapore
sweating in every pore and eleven
miles to the nearest telephone station
We were right in the middle of ma
tive roadside village That didn't
help any as they hadn't an implement
that could be used in un-wheeling our
jungle going boat. 1t wasn't long
however, before two Cinnamon came
along in an old reliable Henry a la
Ford. With the aid of the young
English police officer deal was made
to take US back and pour us into the
Raffles Hotel at Singapore. The new
driver was nice boy but somewhat
unfinished mentally. After a lengthy
conversation in which Singapore" and
'Raffles Hotel" were mentioned fer
vently, the cuss started off down the
road in the opposite direction from
Singapore and it took all hands to get
him veered around in the right direc-
ton. He was a good driver though
for we passed bull carts, water buffalo
wagons, rickashas, two native funeral
professions on our way back to town
and instead of winding up at his
friends store in town, took US to the
hotel previously mentioned. Thus
ended our tower"
Even thus, it was an interesting
trip through the vast plantations of
rubber trees, passing a native village
here and there. Here again the ma
tive is much the same sort of an in
dividual, dressed similar, with the
same characteristics as the Javanese
and the other Malays we had met,

THE SINS OF A GREAT RACE

Old stock Americans, reflecting on the virtues of their Nordic forebears, often find themselves badly depress- ed by the behavioristic inferiorites of the new stock Americans. We'll, they have a right to feel this when, one considers this document from a Massachusetts court during the month of May, 1858:
 James Standish, fined for being sus- pected of being drunk.
 Henry Walton fined for saying he would as soon hear a dog bark as to hear Rev. Cobball preach.
 Thomas Gray, of Marblehead, to be whipped for being overseen in drink.
 John Russell whipped for beating his wife.
 Philip Crumwell fined for not liv- ing with his wife.
 Wm. Claus whipped for spying on his master and reporting what he saw.
 Mrs. Griffith fined for swearing.
 Robert Edwards fined for wearing lace and gold sleeve buttons.
 Sarah Paridge fined for wearing a silk hood.
 Sarah Collins fined for calling her husband "pot-gutted devil"
 Robert Pike fined for living here with his wife in England. Ordered to go to her.
 Charles Phillips fined for being drunk three times in two days.-Ex.

Group of Interesting
 Facts About Phone

More than half of the stockholders of the American Telephone & Tele- graph company are women.
 Between 6OO,0OO and 100000 new poles are required annually to carry the wires of the Bell System. @
 The Saturday Evening Post and the Literary Digest have nationwide circulation. But for every two suD- scribers to these great weekly papers there are five subscribers to the tele- phone.
 The telephone directories printed by the Bell System require 3O,O0O tons of paper each year.
 During the year 1924 there were over twenty one and half billion telephone conversations in the United States.
 It is estimated that during 1924 the Bell telephone lines in Michigan alone transmitted a total of over 15 million toll conversations, an increase of 22.4 over 1923.
 Over 8,400,OOO American families have telephones in their homes.
 More than 5,2OO,O0O telephone calls are made every twenty-four hours in the state of Illinois.
 There are 2,296 telephone instru- ments in the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City, averaging more than 210,O00 calls a month.

Notice of Raise
 30 Years Late

EDMONTON, Alta, Aug. 13 (P)- Notification that he had been grant ed substantial advance in salary failed to arouse Sheriff Peter Gum of Edmonton to any unusual pitch of enthusiasm. Not that he did not appreciate the liberality of his em- ployer but rather to the fact that he will never reap the fruit of the ''in- crease"
 The notice of his salary raise came to the sheriff in a letter from the north country written nearly 30 years ago. By some trick of fate the letter had gone astray.
 It was dated January 6, 1896, and was written by Ewen Macdonald, at that time manager of the Peace Riv- CT district for the Hudson's Bay com- pany. Gum, then comparatively young, was employed at the com pany's post at Lesser Slave lake.
 The hardy Scotchman, Macdonald, long since dead, informs MT. Gum in the letter that his services have been highly satisfactory" and that as a result, he has been awarded a magnificent" increase in English pounds sterling. Just how much the magnificent" increase amounted to MT. Gum declined to divulge but it caused the sheriff to chuckle.

SEES WITCHCRAFT
AS OLD RELIGION
NstO Theory Concerning
Ancient Superstition.

Science has q brand-new and very
interesting theory to explain the be-
lief in witches which at various times
in the past, both on this continent and
In Europe, has been the source Of so
much worry to God-fearing Christians,
says the Louisville Courier-J ournal.
According to this theory witchcraft
was religion which preceded Chris
tianity In western Europe by many
centuries and which, after the coming
Of the new faith, fiourished there for
a time side by side with it.
In It's primitive form the witch deity
was incarnate in a man or woman
or an animal Later on this deity was
elected from among the members of
the cult
And did the believer in witchcraft
at one time worship the devil as some
of our ancestors thought when they
jailed and hanged supposed witches so
relentlessly In the Massachusetts
town of Salem7
Miss Margaret A. Murray, an Eng
lish anthropologist, who has been
studying the subject of witchcraft for
many years, says there is no positive
proof that they did so except what is
to be found in the testimony of the
cults bitter enemies. The mysterious
rites Of witchcraft were always cele-
brated in the strictest secrecy.
Miss Murray thinks that the adher-
ents of this older religion at last may
have been driven by the growing
strength of Christianity to regard the
devil as their god. In those days
Christianity's chief strength was
among the upper classes and witch
crafts among the lower. This fact
intensified the hostility of the adher-
ents of the two religions.
Christianity was unalterabiy OPP
posed to the barbaric rites of the
witches and to their simple conception
Of the universe AS a result the
witches eventually may have been
forced to include In their ritual of in
itiation a specific denial of the entire
Christian faith-God, the Immortality
of the soul and everything else the fol
lowers of Christ hold dear.
Miss Murray suggests that possibly
it was the Christians themselves who
first fastened the idea of devil wor-
ship upon the witches. The chief deity
of the witch cult was first worshiped
under variety of names. Since the
witches regarded this being as the SUI
preme ruler of the universe, 1t was
only natural for the Christians to term
him the devil, Lucifer, Beelzebub, the
Foul Fiend the Enemy of Salvation
and the Evil One

ABYSSINIA, HERMIT NATION,
IS INTERNATIONAL ENIGMA
African Country is Rich In PcssibEN-
ties and May Develop into
Great Empire.

New York.-Abyssinia, the Aermis
nation Of Africa, Is the enigma Of i'm
ternational craftsmanship, according
to the official report Of the educational
commission to east Africa, which u
now being distributed by the Phelps
Stokes fund. The one great native
empire Of the African continent Abys-
slnia has recently been admitted as
member Of the League Of Nations. ai-
though so little is known Of it that tina
estimates of population range from
1000, COO to 10.OO0,O 900.
"UnconQuered, unknown and undes
veloped, AbysSinia Is at once a coun1
Try Of great material resources and a.
serious and difficult problems" the re-
port continues. "The unique clemens
In the position OF the empire Is its i1a-
dependence Of European control. The
remarkable agricultural possibilities
including almost half OF tie cultivaes
ed soil of temperate climates in east
Africa, must inevitably respond to the
demand OF the world Gor the neceH-
saries OF life. The increasing facility
Of transportation and travel win nee
essarily compel the participation OF
this great empire in the economic ac-
tivities of civilization.
'@The geographical position of Abys-
sinia In northeast Africa with Euro
pean colonies encircling It's territory,
and nationalistic Egypt close at hand,
add to the impending character OF
Abyssinian possibilities.
"In the present awakening of Af-i-
ca, and especially of east Africa, Il
seems certain that this great inland
empire win be forced upon tho atten-
ton Of the world.
'aThe vital problem now confronting,
not only Abyssinia but also east Afri-
ca and the nations whose peace and
prosperity are involved, Is how and
when that empire is to become fac
tor In world affairs.
The successor to the famous EN-
perOr Menalik, who died Ia 1908, was
deposed IN 1916 for anti Christian if-
tF1gue, and q daughter Of Menelik was
named as empress with her kinsmAm,
Ras Ta1ari. as prince regent and heir
to the throne. This ruling family ID
commonly supposed to be descended
from Solomon and the queen of Sheba.

Old Landmark Injured

Scrabo tower, an ancient landmark
at Newtownards, County Down, Ire
land, was recently struck by lightning
during a severe storm. The bolt dug
an extensive hole beside the tower
walls. So violent was the crash that
windows were smashed to fragments.
Scrabo tower was erected in the year
1857 in memory of Charles William
vane, third marquis of Londonderry,
by his tenantry and friends. The
monument stands on an eminence Of
$40 feet and is itself 1876 feet high
about the same height as the Albert
memorial in Belfast. The prominent
position which it occupies enables 1t to
be seen from the heights around Bel
fast, and 1t can be viewed from the
hills Of Antrim and from the shores
and islands Of Strangford to far away

Daring French Thief

Stealing a bronze dolphin from the
fountain In broad daylight in the
Place de la Republique was a feat re-
Gently accomplished by lone man In
Paris. A policeman saw the man de-
taching the dolphin and questioned his
right to do so. The man replied that
he was removing the dolphin for re-
pairs. Eventually he departed with
the dolphin in handcart The disap-
pearance Of the dolphin was comment
ed on by the newspapers and few
days later a dealer in antiques called
on the commissioner of police and in
formed him that he had bought a
bronze dolphin corresponding to the
missing one. This statement was con-
fr1ned, and now the police are seeking
the pretended workman, who is said
to be a well-known safe-breaker.
