Supersfition Persists
in Spite of Culture

The ignorant and the neurOtic are
not alone in their observance Of super
stitious practices; as many instances
may be found amongst the educated
classes. Elton Mayo, in Harper's Mag
azine, declares. The problem has moth
ing to do with enlightened religion;
we are facing question as to why an
essentially primitive attitude of mind
should persist in the most advanced
societies.
Recently leading business man of
Philadelphia refused to leave fac
tory he was visiting by the most OBJ
vious exit. He had come in by an
other door and must therefore leave
the building by the same door; other
wise he suffered premOnitiOns OF dad
luck"
This same belief is found widely
spread through the country and min
ing districts of Pennsylvania and Vir-
ginia. If visitor enters house by
one door and leaves by another the
death of some resident in the house
may be expected. 1t is somewhat as
tOnishing to discover in the United
States and among native born Ameri-
cans (the educated not eXempt) SUI
perstitious belief with respect to visit
ing strangers which Is held by the
savage islanders of Java, New Guinea,
BOrneo, and the South Pacific generally.
The elaborate ceremonies of purifica-
ton after visit from stranger have
been abandoned. but the fear itself
persists.
The apparent identity of supersti-
tiOus beliefs is not confined to this sim
gle instance. Over a wide field there
is most striking Resemblance that
calls for further investigation. A bird
flying into house or against a win
dow means a death; this again is an
omen that would be similarly inter-
preted In the Pacific.
Civilization has apparently de-
veloped the outward and visible signs
Of Intellectual freedom, but not the
inward reality. Many new supersti-
tons have been added to the original
and primitive Interpretations with
respect to the Significance Of a fallen
picture, shoes left on a table, the new
moon seen in a mirror. and so on in
definitely.

Animals That Hunters
Are Slo,u to Provoke

J. G.. Faunthrope, who with Arthur
S. Vern made the valuable collection
Of Indian fauna presented to the
American Museum Of Natural His
tory. New York, writing in Asia
Magazine. says that in India, as in
Africa, are animals that have obtained
an undeserved reputation for ferocity.
Elephants survive in several parts
of India in considerable numbers and
only those that are proclaimed rogues
are allowed to be shot, except under
unusual circumstances. The writer
SAYS that those inclined to attack hui
man beings unprovoked are invariably
solitary males, which have morose
dispositions and dislike being dis
turbed
Many persons are under the impress
sion that the Indian tiger is ferO-
cious beast. They will be very sur
prised to hear that jungle men are
very much more afraid of the sloth
bear and the wild boar than of the
tiger or the leopard. If man meets
a sloth bear or a wild boar, particu-
larly the former, it is about an even
chance whether the animal will go
straight for him or go away. Ele-
plants are very much afraid Of the
Sloth bear.
The Indian wild boar is formidable
animal, although he is less liable than
the sloth bear to attack unprovoked.

will hesitate to attack boar unless
driven to do so by hunger.

Early Fur Trade Had
Plethora of Romance

The romance Of the fur trade is not
over. The wreck Of the Hudson's Bay
company's steamer Lady Kindersley,
with million dollars worth Of furs,
in the Arctic ocean, was an adventure
as thrilling as any on the sea.
Unlike the earlier vessels in the
trade she was equipped with radio ap-
paratus, which helped to acquaint the
outside world with the plight of the
crew. But when the vOyager and
trader Of old struck out into the wilder
ness they left the world behind them
and steered their course by the stars
over river and plain. The most re-
markable of these star gazers was
probably David Thompson, the accu-
racy of whose boundary surveys re-
mains undisputed.
The Adventures of England Trad
ing Into Hudson's Bay" was the only
corporate company which ruled over
an area as large as Europe. With 1t
will always be associated the name OF
Donald A. Smith, who, starting as
lad on the bleak coast of Labrador,
where he spent 10 years. rose from the
position of clerk to governor, and
finally took his seat in the house OF
lords as Lord Strathcona, says the
Toronto Globe
But there was not much romance in
his snowshOe tramp of thousand
miles to Lachine to consult doctor
about an affection of the eyes which
threatened blindness. One incident or
his life in Labrador was revealed Mt
meeting of the railway committee
of the house of commons when he was
member. An enthusiastic promoter
wanted to build railway from Que
bee to Hamilton inlet, which. he de-
clared. was an open port all the year
round.
The old fur trader rose and re-
marked that was news to him. for he
distinctly remembered walking across
the inlet on snowshoes In the winters
of the '4Os. That. Of course. killed the
bill.
The romantic features Of the COM
pany probably reached their zenith
under Sir George Simpson, whose
movements by canoe and saddle earned
him the title Of fastest traveller In the
north" Romance was continued FOR
many years In the fiction of Reid ana
Ox,ey. and fortunately sufficient inter
est has been maintained in the real
history of the fur trade to preserve
the facts in many we'll known works.

Juniper Tree 5000 Years Old.

What is believed to be the oldest
juniper tree in the world is now be-
ing protected by the forest service,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, according to word received
from the Cache National Forest in
northern Utah.
A careful examination of the tree
by scientists from the Utah agricul-
ture college and by Forest Supervisor
Carl B. Arentson shows the age of
the tree to be not less than 5000
years, thus placing this tree on par
with some of the big redwood trees
in California which have SO often
been spoken of as the "oldest living
things on earth
In determining the age of the tree
many interesting factors were dis
closed The diameter, breast
height, is seven feet six inches, and
the height is forty-two feet. Only a
few hundred years ago the tree was
growing as rapidly as at any time
during it's life. A section of the
heartwood shows that 200 years were
required for the first two inches of
growth, thus indicating that the
trees struggle for existence was
made under adverse conditions.
Later the tree was growing at the
rate or two inches every sixty years,
a remarkable fact considering it's To-
cation and age.
The location of this aged juniper is
near the main Logan Canyon high
way, and will be seen by thousands
of tourists each year The forest ser
vice has erected a sign near the tree
giving the interesting facts about the
age-old veteran and warning against
it's DETACHMENT or molestation in any
way.

According to DR.. w. f. Nelso, chief
