Delaney hit Paul on the jaw In
the first bout and Knocked him dead
cold out. In the second fight, he
flung the same punch and Paul
went down. He got up and, accord,

cision. According to many at the
rineside, Delaney should not have

Lcin Cloths Common
to Tropical DueIlers

Practically every primitive tribe
dwelling in the tropics that has
been studied by scientific observers
has been found to wear some form
Of bodily covering of the loin region
either in the form of paints of various
coiors, tattoo marks, strands Of beads
Of various materials, beaten bast or
bark cloth, or OF woven girdleS or
aprons of cotton or other vegetable or
animal tibers. The inhabitants Of the
Nicobar islands and of Central East
Africa are apparently Of all tribes the
most free from loin coverings Of all
sorts. Reasons given for the wearing
Of loin coverings vary. Native mod
esty is usually present in some form,
even apart from any influence that
maybe attributed to the whites; tribal
and ceremonial painting or tattooing
is often a causative factor and may
supplement a woven girdle worn for
entirely different purposes, namely,
for the insertion of the hilt Of knife
and as a place Of attachment for bur-
dens; most primitive peoples are bur-
den carriers. Protection against insect
pests is often attempted through the
agency Of breech clouts. Tradition
and native styles usually dictate the
use of certain forms of loin covering
even to the minutest detail.

Mystery of Instinct
Puzzle to Scientists

How successive generations Of ants
learn to milk the aphides is mys-
terry that cannot be explained on any
theory of heredity, for the ants which
do the milking are workers, sexless
insects which leave no offspring. It
is, therefore, quite impossible that
they should transmit their training
to offspring which they do not have.
The milk" which the aphides give
up to the ants as contentedly as a
COW gives her milk, is the juice Of
plants sucked up by the aphides and
transformed in their bodies to strip
Of invert sugar or glucose. This is
the so-called "honey-dew" often found
in vast quantities on plants. Some
species of ants merely lick this up,
but others stroke the aphides to per-
suade them to "give down." just as
the hired man of the farm induces the
cow.
In return for this service the ants
fight the enemies Of the aphides, carry
them to safety in times Of danger,
take care of their eggs, place the
aphides where they will get the best
of food, and shelter them in their
nests in cold weather.
