HONORS ARE PAID
LOVERS OF BIRDS

VIENNA, Jan. 9.--Unusual honors
are being paid here TO the memory
Of the twelfth century bird lover and
wandering bard. Walter Won der Vo-
gelweide, who lived for a time in
Vienna and went later to Bozen in
the South Tyrol, where he sang of and
befriended birds. The statue erected
10 him in Bozen, with its fountains, is
now to be removed by the Italian gov
eminent, rs Bozen is now in Italy
and will be replaced a statue Of King
Emmanuel.
This further Italianizing" is deep
ly regretted in Austria, and the Vienna
municipality has petitioned the Aus
trian government TO obtain the statue
II possible. The burgomaster, Karl
Seitz, proposed that it shall grace some
square In Vienna.

Indians Didn't Intend
Selling Lands Outright

From the day that white men had
their first land dealings with Indians
says the Frontier, at has been as
sumed that the aborigines sold their
lands outright, and the various nego-
tiations into which the United States
entered with them for the transfer Of
their lands by treaty or agreement,
until comparatively recent times, are
no exception.
"As a matter Of fact, Indians recog-
nized neither Individual ownership Of
land nor the tribal right of permanent
transfer. A man might put any un-
occupied land to personal use, and
It was his by virtue only of such
usage; but If he once abandoned il
for any reason, or failed to cultivate
or otherwise use 1t, it reverted auto
matically to the tribe.
I'VE often hear of this or the other
tract of land having been purchased
from Indians by the colonists for a
song. Noteworthy among these in
stances is the island of Manhattan
now worth untold billions, that waa
bought by the Dutch settlers for =
handful of gew-gaws; but there is no
doubt that, as In numerous other
cases, the Manhattan Indians believed
that they were merely permitting the
white settlers to live among them
and that the trlnkets were merely a
token of friendship"

First Aid for Wounds

Burnt paper has been suggested as
a quick and easy and clean remedy
for first aid to the injured. The first
principle in first aid to the injured is
to find a remedy quickly. A short
time ago Sir James Camille caused
some astOnlshment by explaining that
dressing OF burned paper for
wounds was one of the cleanest ana
easiest to use This may seem an ODD
sort of remedy, yet, after all, nothing
is more natural, for burned paper, al
though black, Is clean, since 1t has
been thoroughly purified by intense
heat. Many instructors advocate this
in preference to a pocket handker,
chief, but providing the handkerchief
Is fresh from the laundry the inside
folds may be used with equal safety.
In the matter of dressing for wounds,
the golden rule is to provide some
thing that has not come in contact
with germs or dirt.

Sight Not at Best
Before Age of Six

A child does not attain his keenest
eyeslght until he is six years old or
more. Small objects are not so well
seen. the parts of the brain devoted
to vision being lncompletely developed.
This is the statement Of DR.. Ed
ward Jackson, Denver specialist, who
writes for Hygeia, popular health
magazine published by the American
Medical association, in an article on
1.-THE Baby's Eyes"
Abundant reason exists for using
large type in primers, says Doctor
Jackson. Fine stitching, beadwork
and similar exercises, such as are
sometimes expected of young children
in kindergarten, may be quite harmful.
Even when the object looked at is not
small the young child must not be ex-
pected to look at 1t long at time, but
should be encouraged to turn the eyes
away frequently to rest them. To
keep the eyes on the book" at times
when they are tired does not help the
child to learn and may be harmful.
Because they can hold things close
to their eyes and still see them, and
because they need larger images Of
what they look at to make up for the
incomplete development Of the eye,
young children are liable to acquire
the habit of holding things too near
their eyes. AS they grow older this
should be corrected by encouraging
them to try to see things at longer dis
tances. Many children starting to
school have eyestrain, or even infiam-
nation about the eyes, merely because
they hold their books too close to
their eyes.

Lunch in Marble Forest

On the roof of the cathedral of
Milan is little buffet where one may
take luncheon or tea--a unique case,
perhaps, Of restaurant on the roof
Of a church. 1t is n recent innovation.
In the past there was only a small
kiosk where fruit and light drinks
were obtalnable. Lately a more am
bilious undertaking was developed.
There are now all varieties of food
stuffs. II is the custom of the Mia
nese who cannot afford to leave the
city for their summer vacations, to
climb the Duomo for lunch and eat
in the forest of marble pinnacles and
flying buttresses. From the height of
about 300 feet one can enjoy view
of the city, the Lombard plain and the
Alps from Mount Viso to the Artler.-

Newfoundland Is the
Oldest British Colony

Newfoundland Is often called 1.-The
Ancient Colony" because 1t is the old
est colony in the British empire. 1t
was discovered by John Cabot, who
sailed out of Bristol, England in 1897
Cabot took possession of the island in
the name of King Henry VII. Three
years later the Portuguese under Gas
par Corte-Real explored portions of
the coast. In 1888, during the reign
of Queen Elizabeth, Sir Humphrey
Gilbert renewed the claim of British
possession, but his attempt to colonize
was not a success, nor were the at
tempts made later by Lord Baltimore.
During all these years the island was
visited by fishing expeditions from
England, France and Portugal, and the
ownership of the island was a matter
Of dispute. 1t was finally settled by
the Treaty of Utrecht of 1913, which
brought to a close Queen Anne's war.
BY this treaty France acknowledged
Britain's ownership of Newfoundland
and coded to Britain the region known
as Acadia, now forming the provinces
of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

"Lookl" There was no light Of reSO~

sad, why do you not also forget?"

stairway, looking back once when he
had reached the landing, then turned
and staggered toward the room of
the Purple Ray.

Taxes Paid in Butterflies

When he faced difficulty in collect
ing the income tax from natives, the
governor Of the Belgian Congo in
Africa invited the native citizens to
bring in specimens of a particularly
beautiful butterfly. For four butter
flies he gave an income tax receipt.
He then sent the butterflies to Eu-
rope where they brought as much as
30 francs each. This ingenious method
of getting the tax from the natives
enabled him to swell the states cof-
fers without discomfort on the part of
his people.

The Planet Mercury

Mercury is the smallest planet and
the nearest to the sun, its mean dis
lance being about 36,O0O,OOO miles. It
completes revolution of its orbit in
SS days, and its diameter is about 5000
miles. Its mass is about one-eighteenth
that of the earth, and its density the
same as that of the earth. Mercury is
difficult to see with the naked eye ow.
ing to its proximity to the sun. Tele-
scopically it is of little interest. Faint
marks can be seen on its surface, but
all are indefinite.

The first American-built vessel to
make deep-sea voyage, the Trial, was
launched 2S3 years ago, January u,
1912. The builder was Capt Thomas
Coytmore, who was also the first COM
mander of the vessel. The Trial was
constructed at Boston and was of 165
tons burden. In these days Of Lee
viathans and Mauretanias few persons
would care to trust their lives to such
a craft for even short voyage, but
In Its day the Trial was considered a
good ship and brought a rich return
to its owners.

at Nome they found Mrs. Neidblig's cafe closed for the winter so Amund- sen told his friends the lady must open or he would go hungry. After much dickering, Mrs Neidblig was persuaded to open and the four men appeared for breakfast. Amundsen, Visiting and Omdahl ordered a Span ish omelet, but Ellsworth ordered his favorite ham and eggs. Amundsen had his omelet under Ellsworth's nose which flavor fascinated him so that now Ellsworth orders omelets twice each day. Ellsworth also falls heavy for reindeer steaks every daT, and in sists it is caribou meat.
 Omdahl, on Monday night, returned to Teller with Capt Tom Peterson on the Motorship Pippin. Mrs. Peterson, who came to Nome from Teller via airplane also returned. OmdahlNis re- turning as Amundsen's representative and will remain until the Norge is com pletely packed.

FAIRBANKS AVIAToRS BRING BACK ENTIRELY NEW VERSION OF CONCLUSION OF TRIP OF THE HUGE AIR LlNER-SlN TO EIGHT FEET OF SNOW ON TIE GROUND AT TELLER
TON OF ICE ON NORGE-cREW CLAIM THEY WERE LOST WIEN THEY ARRIVED AT TELLE7- ONE HUNDRED POUNDS ON AT JENNA.

FAIRBANKS, May 1S. R)-Pnor Crosson of the Pathe plane said there was over a ton of ice on the dirigible Norge when she landed, and over 100 pounds of ice on the antenna of the wireless outfit. Huford said the Norge was blown from 300 to 400 feet after they started deflatiOn, with men hanging on the ropes.
 Six to eight feet of snow was on the beach but the airplanes landed on the ice off the port which was soft and rugged. Pilot Bennett who re turned last night with the Norge pic lures for the International Newsreel, said the Norge was virtually wreck ed in landing. Members of the Norge crew told him they didn't know their location when they reached Port Cla- renee and had been lost for some time When the Norge entered Teller bay over which a funnel formation of wind formed a vortex, caught the dirigible Norge which began drifting toward the mountains. Gas was released and the men slid down the ropes to hold her to the ground. A heavy gust ot wind struck the Norge just as sht settled, which resulted in a parcia wrackage. The radio failed to worE until some time after the Norge wa: on the ground.
