 It was 4s years that Professor Henry F. Osborn member of pr. Andrews previous expedition made the prediction that led to the search.

Danger in BuIIfghting

The bullfight is a very dangerous
fighting game, according to the best
authorities. The star of the perform
ance is the matador, who kills the
bull alone. Authorities give US facts
to prove that many matadors are
killed, and all are wounded at some
time OF their careers. The risks they
take are marvellous. They sit on chairs
before charging bulls, and at the last
moment spring from the chair and the
bull carries the chair away on his
horns. They rest their elbows on the
head of the bull. The matador some
times attempts to leap over the bull
with the aid of long pole, but many
miscalculations are made, which end
In disaster. There are even rare oc-
casions when large bull will leap
out of the ring and gain the seats oc-
cupied by the spectators. The mata-
dor, in killing the bull, stands per-
fectly still and lets the bull rush on
his sword, the bull often taking the
matador up in his horns and throw
ing him into the air. Many times the
matador is caught up against the
wooden inner ring and gored to death.

Desire to Owr1 Land
Old as Human Race

The instinct to acquire and own
land Is as deep rooted in human be
ings as almost anything about them.
History offers innumerable texts for
sermons on the wisdom Of land owner
ship and proves the foresight of the
founders Of our nation in acquiring
great territories for unlimited expan-
sion.
Land ownership, mistaken for ma
tional pride, has caused the majority
OF the worlds great conflicts. VIII
liam the Conqueror, in establishing the
feudal system, founded the law Of
primogeniture so that great estates
might be preserved intact, and the
holders obligated to the crown In
terms of men and money.
The effect 1t had was to send forth
adventurous younger sons in search of
lands OF their own. Even feudalism
could not successfully combat the In
stinct to acquire and own land.
