This Sly Fox Made Sure He Would
Not Be Bitten

When a fox is cornered by dog
and knows 1t cannot escape. it will
often feign playfulness, gamboling
and prancing about, before it closes
with its enemy in a fight to the finish.
Right in this line a well-known
naturalists relates the following An
eagle was seen to be repeatedly
swooping at something till it finally
alighted on a bowlder. AS fieldglass-
es were brought to bear, it was seen
that large fox was the object of the
eagles attentions, and the animal
was now walking round and round
the bowlder. close up against it, with
its tail brushed out and extending
vertically in the air.
The eagle was seen to peck again
and again at the tail as 1t came with
in reach, at which the fox would
instantly drop 1t. then raise it again.
: When this had gone on for some
little time, the eagle flew off and
alighted in the heather some distance
OF, at which the fox began to ap-
proach with the most playful antics,
circling round the great bird until the
latter eventually made off in disgust.
Usually when an eagle attacks

Dangers From Earth Weakness

hangers from Earth weakness
Exist in Many Parts of Country
About the last thought, probably
that occurs to the average American
is that he may be living in an area
of earthquake danger. 1t is only fol-
lowing disasters such as the recent
ones in Santa Barbara, Calf. and
Montana, that people in this country
realize that earthquakes are phe-
nomena not confined exclusively to
the more remote regions of the earth.
Az q matter Of fact, earthquakes
occur in the United States every year
many Of them. More than that.
writes Arthur Selwyn Brown. Ph.D..
LID, in Popular Science Monthly.
they occur in places that point to
the existance of definite lines OF
earth weakness passing through or
near some of our greatest cities. New
York. Washington, Boston, for ex-
ample, lie along one of these lines,
and consequently are not removed
entirely from the danger of earth
quake
Other similar lines are found
stretching across the continent from
southern California to the Atlantic
Coast, sweeping up through the Mis-
Sissippi Valley to the Great Lakes.
cleaving the center of New England.
Within these areas live millions OF
| people.
In view Of these facts, Doctor
Brown calls attention to the pressing
need of an intensive chronological
survey Of the United States and Cam

quake danger exists.
1T is the ground, not houses, that
moves" he says, land resilient houses
usually would not be injured by an
earth tremor. A severe shock in any
of the cities that lie along the faults
or lines of earth weakness in this
country would have most calamitous
results with buildings Of the exist

cognized this danger. Thus, almost
Immediately following the Santa Bar.

A study Of the annual reports Of
earthquakes in the United States
shows that there is an important line
of earth weakness starting in the
southern parts of California, travers-
ing Arizona, following the thirty
NTH degree Of latitude, sending
spur up the Mississippi and Ohio
rivers, then running eastward to the
sea, and thence following the Allan
tic coastal ranges up to Prince Ed.

India's Struggle for Edueation-Two
Views


midas struggle for education is
discussed from two angles in July
Currant History Magazine. vasudeo
B. Meta, Indian lawyer and author,
espouses the cause of Indian national
ism, while Major Francis Yeates-
Brown, well-known student Of Indian
affairs. and for many years a repre-
sentative of the british Government
In India. writes on behalf Of the Brit
ish Administration. M. Meta de-
clares that the native Indian culture
Is being suppressed in favor of Euro
pean culture under the present Brit
ish system of education in India
He deplores the results as most
tragic" 1.-THE Indian students" he
writes, "are almost led to believe that
their native religions are q mass of
stupidities and superstitions." The
European professors lin Indian schools
make light of Hinduism and Buddh-
ism. Stress is laid on midas fight
ing record: "the students are taught
to regard their history as one long
record Of internecine warfare. with
hardly any progress in any domain
Of life"
Major Yeates- Brown, on the other
hand, asserts that the real obstacle to
progress in India Is the lack of Civil
ization among the natives. Discuss
ing the British educational policy. he
writes: Although there have been
many criticisms of this policy, few
constructive suggestions have been
put forward" He praises Indian
culture, adding that India is the
! mistress Of Philosophers so mag
nificent that the struggle and sweat
of Western cities seem vile to her
by comparison" He rebukes the
'smug conceit" Of Britons WHO de-
precate midas cultural history, but
insist that such feeling Is not gen.
eral. Both in India and Great Brit
ain," he writes, there is a growing
body Of students who realize that
not only Great Britain but the whole
| world has much to learn from India"
The solution of India's educational
| problem, the writer concludes, lies
! in the hands of the native women:
| "As soon as the women OF India leave
the seclusion of their homes and
enter the schoolrooms India will get
| what she wants in education when

refer as the real beginning to the capture Of
the British ship Gdspe in Narragansett Bay
in l772 by Captain Abraham Whipple and
few fellow Rhode islanders Others place
the date at December q, l774, when Fort
William and Mary was taken.
No such technical difficulties beset the his

Morning newspapers are timed to deliver

Japs Sacrifice Victims
Skeletons in Corner Stone

Tokyo, July ia. p. by mail.)
interest 10 attached
to the recent discovery beneath =the
corner stones of, the Double-Bri
(main entrance to the Imperial
Palace) of eight human skeletons.
Most of the skeletons were found
upright about twelve feet below the
bed of the Palace Moat, which is
undergoing repair work necessitated
by, the earthquake of 1928.
The, theory of some Japanese lsci-
entists Is that the skeletons are the
remains of persons who, several CEN
turtles past, offered themselves as
Human Pillars" for the immortal
ization of the corner-stones used In
constructing Edo Castle. The ira
dition of the Human Pillars" Ii an
old one in Japan. In the past age
1t was believed that II human beings
were buried alive beneath the cor
ner-stones of great structures, the
gods would accord permanent
strength and solidity to the founda-
tons and, In addition, those who
thus sacrificed themselves, would be-
come immortal. 1t was considered
that those chosen as Human Pill
lars" were greatly honored. They
were buried alive in a standing posi-
ton.
The first traditional instance of
the Human Pillars" recorded in
japan dates back to the reign Of
Emperor Nintoku, more than EOOO
years ago. The Yodo river at Osaka,
where the emperor had lis palace,
used to overflow each year, drown
ing many people and causing much
damage. Every dixie built by the
best engineers was unable to with
stand the floods. One night the EN-
peror dreamed that the gods had
advised him IL he would use human
bodies as pillars for the construc-
ton of the embankment, there
would be no more food troubles.
The story has it that tn emperor
Immediately caused human beings
to >. be buried alive beneath gthe
foundation stones of the dixie and,
since then, the embankment .has
withstood all foods
