Efforts are also being made to interest

necessity for and the opportunities

Make Affidavlts.
Six Of the twenty-four miners who
have decided to take the question Of
compensation to court have made aft
davits which prove conclusively that
the cavein which entombed them for
131 hours and placed them for that
long in the very shadow of death was
preventable. The sole reason for the
collapse Of the shaft was the uncared
for timbering and lack of adequate in
spection. To replace timbers costs
money. To save this money the com.
pany ran its mine day in and day out
knowing the men were in constant
danger Of being killed by cavern or
series Of cave-ins. 1t was only
miracle that saved the men from
death.
The afidavits show that while the
men we're entombed in the eighth
level, the highest they could reach up
the ladder to the point where the col
lspsed shaft closed in completely, they
themselves repaired the timbering to
avoid further collapse. This resulted
in an estimated saving to the company
OF some $4,000 that would have been
expended II the miners had not taken
this precaution, even over the protests
Of the mine boss who, by chance, was
entrapped with them.

CANADIAN MOUNTED
PATROL FAR NORTH
Expedition Returns From Post
Near Pole.

Toronto, Ont.-Almost unheralded,
the annual Canadian Arctic expedition,
under George P. Mackenzie of the
Department Of the Interior, has re-
turned from its 1926 round of duty.
The expedition established on Bache
peninsula the most northerly police
detachment In the world. Previously
established posts Of the Royal Cana
dian mounted police were visited with
supplies and relief.
The new post on Bache peninsula is
Ia latitude 10 degrees 4 minutes north.
Bache is about 900 miles beyond
the Arctic circle; 1900 miles north of
Hudson strait and only TOO miles from
the North pole itself.
Bache peninsula is part Of Files
mere island, the most northerly land
in America, lying adjacent ~ Green
land. Only the tips of Ellesmere and
OF Greenland lie between Bache and
the Polar sea. Few vessels have ever
penetrated as far north as Bache, and
the new Canadian police post was only
established after four efforts made In
successive years.
Last year materials and supplies for
the new post had to be left at Fran
Haven, few miles south of the de-
sired objective.
This continued activity on the part
Of the Canadian government Illus
trates the seriousness of it's effort to
maintain by actual occupation its ex-
elusive sovereignty over the great ex-
panse covered By the Arctic archipel-
ago. In this Canada is looking to fu-
ture possibilities which aerial routes
and radio may open up AT the same
time 1t Is seeking present profit. For
example, Ellesmere land Is rich III blue
fox and other valuable furs which
have already suffered from the depre-
dations Of poachers.
Tor twenty years the veteran Cap
tain Bernier and his ship Arctic have
been making pIigrimages into these
fRr-northern waters. Bernier and the
Arctic are now superannuated, but any
one OF his routine trips or Of the
Becthtic, which is now on the job, III

ton trips.

Rare Native Tree Blooms

grew wild in the South but has long
since fallen victim to the same fate
that overlook the bison aud the prong

the campus Of the University Of Penn
sylvania- It Is perhaps appropriate
that it should be sheltered there, bot
anists point out because It is called
Franklinia. and the name Of Franklin
Is reverenced hy the university as It's
founder.
The campus specimen is small
tree. with glossy leaves and large,

Oriental Fruit Eaters That DeSsce7d
on Orchards With Fury.
the big Oriental fruit bats. or ny
ing foxes, so familiar In India, Cey-
lon and the Malayan region, feed OF
all sorts of soft fruits except acid
ones, such as oranges; are especially
fond Of figs and guavas: and are g
destructive pest to orchards and
gardens, says writer in Life OF
Mammals. In some parts Of Java,
for example, no delicate fruit can be
raised except by protecting the trees.
with nets and fighting off the mighty
forays OF bands of kalongs.
They live and travel in vast CONF
panies, roosting by day on chosen
trees, where they hang by one hind
leg, each protected from the suns
glare and from rain in the closely
wrapped mantle OF its wings, and
large branches frequently break IN
der the weight At sunset they fly
away to their feeding grounds, scat
tering over a wide area.
When a ZIG. tree or hanana taickei
attracts crowd, the toughest light
ing begins over coveted plander, each
one screaming, clawing, biting, and
struggling to seize something and set
away TO a secure retreat to enjoy it..
There he hangs BY one foot, and.
grasping the fruit he has secured in
the claws and opposable thumb OF the
other, he hastily reduces it to Jumps,
with which he etuffs his cheek
pouches until they become distended
Ike those of a monkey. Later he
chews and swallows this food at ieis-
ure.
At dawn all return to their roosts,
and, says 1'ichell. hook themselves
along the branches, scrambling about
hand over hand with some speed, Bit
ing each other severely, striking out
with the long claws o. the thumb,
shrfeking without internission."
No doubt these squabbles are rem
dered more violent By the disgrace
fully dissipated habits 10 which tho
bats indulge during their nocturnal
expeditions. for, according to Mr..
Francis Day and other observers,
they often pass the night drinking
teddy from the chattias in the cocoa
nut trees. which results ELMER il
their returning home In tbs early
morning IN a state Of extraNe and
riotous intoxication or n being
found the next day at the foot of the
trees, sleeping off the effects Of their
midnight debauch.
