Old "Pilgrim's Progress"

An Old Testament Pilgrims Prog
ress has been found in four Of the
psalms by DR.. Herbert ii. Gowen, pro-
fessor Of oriental language and litera-
ture at the University Of Washington.
Doctor Governs translation differs
from the standard one. He says he
has preserved as nearly as possible
the original meter Of the Old Tesla
ment songs and has diligently connect
ed the four chants into a continuous
story Of the pilgrims return to the
Promised land
1.-THE conception behind the four
psalms. which begin with the 120th.
was the return Of the Jewish exiles
from Babylonian captivity" Doctor
Gowen said. 1.-THE joy Of the returning
captives as they noticed the hills Of
their native land and the towers Of
Jerusalem is reflected in the songs"

Pest of Wild Horses

The statement that wild horses have
become a pest in parts Of Australia
was made recently on good authority
in Adelaide, the capital of the state
of South Australia. 1t was stated
that "a new menace to the develop
ment Of the interior pastoral or cattle
country consists of the herds Of wild
horses which, according to the esti-
mate of leading authority, probably
r1,n TITO hundreds of thousands. He
urged the government to introduce
legislation for the eradication Of the
pest. which is possibly worse than
wild dogs. Years ago many horses
were taken far north for the purpose
Of breeding remounts for the Indian
army and draught horses. but this
project was abandoned and since then
breeding has been uncontrolled. with
the result that brambles are overrun-
ming the country, consuming water
and food to the detriment and dan
ger of valuable stock"

Dr.. johnson and Romance

A superficial observer might doubt
whether romance and Doctor Johnson
had much in common Boswell
suggested that there were at
least fifty women with whom any man
might be as happy as with anyone in
particular.
AYE. sir. fifty thousand" was the
answer, and so far from being of opin-
ion that certain men and women were
made for each other and could not
find happiness apart. he added: ITO
be sure not. sir. l believe marriages
could in general be as happy. and
often more so. If they were all made
by the lord chancellor upon due con-
sideration, without the parties having
any choice in the matter. Sir Char
tres Biron. in the National Review.

Petroleum Production

The United States produces more
than two-thirds Of the worlds output
Of petroleum, and in 1923 and 1924
California, the largest oil-producing
state, supplied about third Of all the
oil which came from wells in this coun-
try. The second state Is Oklahoma,
and the third Texas. In 1923, the
worlds output was 1,O19,OOo,OoO bar
rels, the United States yielding 1872
100000 barrels. Last years total for
this country was less. about 7O7 $685.

ROUTE TAKEN BY
PILGRIM FATHERS
Sailing From Plymouth Was
Merely Incident.

The building Of a Pilgrim monu-

undertaking, both 10 mark spot of
peculiar historic significance and to
remind Americans Of some too little
remembered details Of that Puritan
migration which meant so much to
this country. 1t is to be feared that
many Americans of generally good in
formation share the error which Mrs
Nottingham. NJ. P, in her address
ut the cornerstone laying charged
against Lady Aston. of suppOSing that
the Pilgrim fathers belonged at Ply
mouth and sailed from that port on
their departure from England. The
birmingham monument should teach
them better. and remind them of the
fact that the Pilgrims had nothing
whatever to do with Plymouth, save
to be- much against their will. driven
into harbor there by stress Of weather
and need of repairs to their ship, de-
clares a writer in the Washington
Post.

at flight in the fall of 1907 having
been frustrated by the authorities. Aft

New Lubricating Oil to
Reduce Flying Accidents

st. Joseph, Mo.-Invention Of a new
lubricating oil for airplane motors,
which, 1t is claimed, will enable trans
continental flights without a change
Of ell, was announced Saturday by J..
A. higgins.
The new lubricant. according to Mr..
Higgins. is mineral oil castorized in
treatment by molecular impregnation.
The inventor declared the oil would
make for greater safety in flying, by
eliminating to q great extent stalling
Of motors, due to inefficient fabrication.
He said that in a test the oil had been
used during 351a hours flying time
without draining the crank case.

Plan to Revive Old-Time
German Military Bands

Berlin.-ETorts are being made to
revive the old-time military bands
which formerly were popular part
Of everyday German life. In recent
years they have given way to string
orchestras and jazz bands. In the
movement to bring the military bands
back to their own, a monster concert
was organized recently at the Stadion,
when 20 bands played simultaneously
under the direction of Prof. Oscar
Hackenberger. More than 10000 per-
sons attended.

ELECTRIC ENERGY
SENT BY WIRELESS
Makes Possible Operation
of Vessels From Land.

Washington.-Electric energy has
len successfully transmitted by wire
less through the use Of inventions by
the italian engineer, .Midali, according
to reports received here from Turin
through official channels.
According to these reports, the pos
sibilities Of this method of power
transmission are bOundless. In an in
terview published in Turin, Midali de-
scribed the results Of his five years
Of study in part as follows:
1.-THE result obtained Is that Of
transmitting electric energy in the
form Of alternating current, without
excessive losses, but in reality the
electric energy Is not transmitted as
such. The system transforms the cleo
trio energy emanating from any source
in the form Of alternating current. at
frequency and tension generally en-
ployed in industry, into very short
electromagnetic waves Of about one
millionth Of centimeter. These
waves must be Of about the size OF
light waves, and have nothing In
for radio communications.
Energy by Vibration.
"These extremely short waves, that
ought to be called vibrations Of the
electrens, constitute the means by
which the electric energy Is trans
mitted to a distant receiving system,
which in turn transforms them into
electric current Of identical character
istics Of that used by the transmitting
system.
1.-THE electric vibrations created by
the transmitting system travel in a
straight line toward an ideal focus,
according to the directions impaired
to them by the systems Of condensers
which form the aerial; they converge
in q point In which the ideal lines Of
the aerial condensers Of the receiving
system must SO converge. When
this condition is not fulfilled, trans
mission cannot initiate.
"When transmission has begun, the
position Of the aerials and also that Of
the transmitting and receiving systems
are ne longer of importance and the
system goes on working even II both
stations change position.
Drive Ships Engines.
"No mass between the two stations
can interfere with the functioning Of
the system.
1.-THE system also permits the trans
mission Of polyphase currents. 1t may
be foreseen that it will be used for
electric traction, enabling electric
trains to be run without drivers.
Steamers may be operated from the
land and electric power will be avail
able even in localities where it cannot
be produced on the spot or transmitted
by wire.
'1t will also be useful In radio COM
munications, in which case the fire.
quency Of the current and the perfect
dirigibility Of the wave will permit
experimentation of the stations and
fetal suppression of disturbances
caused by other contemporaneous
transmissions."
