Baby Is Found Playing
at Nest of RattIesnakes

winchester, Va.-The parents Of
little Jack Bailey, Jr., are wondering
what fortunate influence operated to
save their child from being bitten
by nest of rattlers and copperhead
snakes near their family camp In
the Massanutten mountains a day or
two ago.
The child was playing some dis
lance from the camp when his IA
ther suddenly heard the warning char
acteristic of thes rattlesnake, and
hastened to the spot There were
three large rattIers and two copper
heads nearby and although the child
had not been attacked, all the rep
stiles appeared to be making ready for
either an attack on the child or a
battle among themselves.
Other members of the camping
party reinforced Mr.. Bailey with
clubs, and all the snakes were slain.
The largest had fourteen rattles on
it's tail.

Auto Death Rate Rises
in u. S.. Figures Show

Washington. The hazard Of death
In automobile accidents appears to be
increasing in the United States as a
whole
The Commerce department. making
public comparable figures for 1925 and
1926, shows that so far this year. In
the 66 larger cities Of the country IA
talities from automobile accidents
have been so numerous as to indicate
an annual death rate Of 1879 persons
per 100000 Of population. while for
the same period last year the rate
was ITO per cent.
On this basis Of the departments
calculation the chance Of getting
killed by automobile is now greatest
in Camden, N. j., where the death
rate for 1923 is placed at 400 per. 100,
900, and least In Norfolk, where Nj the
same period It is but 10 to 100000. In
New York the present Indicated auto
mobile death rate is 1870 while In
Chicago 1t is 20.7.

PRECIOUS VOLUMES
FOUND IN LIBRARY
Oldest Was Written in Reign
of Henry v.

Winnipeg, Man.-Precious volumes
several hundred Of years old have
been uHearthed in a niche of st.
Johns college library by an ardent
book lover.
One Of the ancient books is 500
years old; several are more than 400
years of age Written before the days
Of printing. they were penned in a
fine hand and are now in a fine state
of preservation.
The Oldest and most interesting Of
the volumes is "Nicolai DecretaIium
Librf w." a book handwritten on
manuscript ,256 pages which would
make many present-day sign writers
green with envy. 1t was written In
1417, during the reign of Henry ".
Of England and although 1t is 500
years old, its oaken boards are none
the worse for wear.
Another specimen of early typog-
raphy is "BibIia Sacra Latina" the
Holy Bible In Latin printed during
the reign Of Edward ", in 1873, just
exactly two years after William Cax-
ton introduced printing into England.
Next In order of merit comes "Cic-
eronis Epistolarium. Familiarium,"
the letters Of Cicero, printed 407
years ago, in 1919. four years after
Wolsey was made lord chancellor.
Desiderius Erasmus, the famous
Dutch scholar of the reign of Henry
VIII, is represented by several vol
umes which were printed during his
lifetime the majority Of them are
around 1895.
'.The Holy Bible" translated by
Thomas Matthew In 1887, Is another
oId-timer which has successfully with
stood the ravages of time Archbish-
op Cranmer, who was burned at the
stake in Mary's reign, was jealous
ref0rmer, and had the Bible trans
lated into English. Henry VIII or
dered a copy to be placed In all
churches and one Of these copies now
reposes in St Johns college library
here.
Another famous man Of the same
ptk4Vu was JOHH sMAIDeChtf WHO pun
lished his concordance In 1850. This
is the first published concordance to
the English Bible and was dedicated
to Edward VI, in whose reign 1t was
printed According to Foxe, the au-
thor was burned for making his con-
cordance.
Several books printed In Elizabeth's
reign are in pretty good shape but
the most perfect is a copy OF the
Bible. dedicated to the most yertu-
GUS and noble Queene Elizabeth and
printed at the Sign of the Tigers
Head In 1911 ten years before Mary.

MOONS OF JUPITER
BEHAVE LIKE OURS
IL. Of w. Astronomer Makes
Interesting Discovery.

Mount Hamilton, Calif.-At least
three of the moons OF Jupiter, like the
moon of the earth, rotate once on
their axis in the same time that 1t
takes them to make one revolution
around their parent planet, declares
DIR. Joel Stebbins, professor Of astron-
iomy at the University of Wisconsin,
now working at the Lick observatory
here
Doctor Stebbins is making use of
the twelve-inch refracttng telescope of
the observatory, and a photo-electric
photometer by means of which the
light from a star, planet or moon Is
focused on a film of metallic potas-
stun. This results In a minute cleo
trio current which can be measured
with a delicate galvanometer, and SO
the brightness of the object can be
accurately determined
Cut Off Jupiter's Light.
The chief difficulty is in keeping the
brilliant light from Jupiter itself of
the cell, but Doctor Stebbins has over
come this by the use of a small dia-
phragm with hole through which
the light from the satellite can shine,
but not the planet. However, satellite
/, the nearest to Jupiter, is too close
to be measured even with this
method.
Measurements have been made of
II, III and ~. All of these satellites
were discovered by Calico In 1910,
and can be seen with small tele-
scope. In addition there are five
others, but these require a large In
strument to make them visible.
Moons II, III and ~ take three
days, thirteen hours seven days, four
hours and sixteen days, eighteen hours
respectively, to revolve around Jupi-
ter and Doctor Stebbins finds that the
variation of the light of the first two
at least also follow these periods.
This, he explains, is probably due to
their being bodies like our moon, and
unequally bright over their surface,
so that as greater or less area Of
the bright surface is exposed to the
earth their light is greater or less,
because this is largely reflected sun
light
Compares Light With stars.
In order to check the photo-electric
cell, Doctor Stebbins compares the
light OF the satellites with nearby
stars, whose light is constant, and he
suggests that this may be used as
possible check on the variation of
sunlight. Direct measurements of sun
light vary greatly because Of yaria-
tons in atmospheric conditions, but
since these would affect alike the bril-
liancy Of the satellites and Of the
comparison stars, variation In the
difference between satellites and stars
would indicate an actua. variation of
sunlight.

Department of Agriculture chemists
who conducted tests announced
that, while the engine did not make
any prolonged, continuous run. enough
power was developed with the dust
to turn 1t over many times A hand
