HUALPAI CHIEF DON'T
LIKE STATE GAME LAWS S

clashed with the state game depart
ment in the matter of deer hunting.
Chief Schrum "went to bat" with
D. r. Pettis, state game warden, at
the sate capitol, the burden of the
argument being that when his tribe
needed meat they had to kill and the
object of the tribes rifles oftentines
seemed to be deer outside The reser-
vation The chief, however admitted
that there might be reservations and
it was understood that the Hualpafs
hereafter would confine their firearm
proclvities to game within the reser-
vation boundaries.

Legend AUers Birds
Obeyed Monks Rehest

In chapel in the grounds of the
Franciscan monastery at Washington
Is an almost llfe-sized statue Of the
founder of the order, st. Francis
d'Assisl. The statue reveals st. Fran
els sitting on the stump of tree. A
falcon perches on branch beside him.
By every lover of nature the name
of st. Francis d'Assisi, says Nature
Magazine, must always be revered.
The chronicles of his communing
with nature are many. Arriving at
castle where he intended to speak,
great flocks of swallows nesting in the
battlements and crannies of the build
ing kept up such an incessant chat
tering that it was impossible for him
to be heard. st. Francis turned to his
feathered friends and asked that he
might have silence in order TO deliver
a great message with which he was
charged. The compliance was instant,
we are told, and the impression Of
their obedience added increased weight
to the sermon which followed.

Waterproofng Paper

The most important thing in the
making of waterproof paper is the
proper choice of the sheet The
toughest papers are now made from
jute and also from wood, the kraft or
sulphate pulping process being used
for the latter. The wood or other raw
material must be long flbered and
tough to start with, Waterproofng Is
accomplished by the use Of sizing
agents, such as resin, water glass or
wakes and paraffin. One type of wa
ter and proof paper is made by
immersing sheets of paper made from
sulphite pulp in strong sulphuric acid
solutions. The action of the acids
tends TO harden the fibers and render
them transparent as well as resistant
to moisture and grease. The strength,
however, is not increased by this proc
ess.

Little Energy in Talking

The speech energy of the human
voice amounts to very little in the way
of power. 1t is only 125 ergs second,
an almost enthusiastically small amount
of power. Consonant letters require
the least amount of energy. The
pitch or frequency of vibrations is
much higher for consOnant sounds,
than the vowels, however. An erg is
the work done when body moves one
centimeter in the direction in which
1t is urged by force Of one dyne, and
a dyne is a force which when acting
on a mass of one gram for one second
will change its velocity by one cent?

Whence Cocoa Comes

The cocoa plant is now grown in many
districts of the tropical belt, and Its
consumption, in one form or another,
has increased all over the world. 1t
is an evergreen, and Is equal In size
to a well-grown apple tree. The pods,
about eight inches long, grow out of
the trunk, and are red, yellow, black
and purple, according to the season.
There are twenty or thirty pale red
beans inside each pod, embedded in
soft white pulp. Cocoa groves are
never planted solely with cocoa trees.
Although it grows best in hot coun-
tries, it Is delicate, and has to be pro-
tected from the sun, and for this pur-
pose forest trees are planted in the
groves. Some of these grow to great
height and have a tufted head like a
natural sunshade. These protecting
trees are called "Cacao Madre," or
cocoa mother.
