BRINGS 1000 BIRD
SPECIMENS TO u. S.
Professor Reports Many Hith-
erto Unknown Varieties.

Boston.-The story of one of the
most enterprising explorations in the
interest of science is being compiled
in the report of Prof. Joseph r. Rock
of Harvard university, who recently
returned from three-year eXplora-
ton in the wilds of Tibetan highlands,
bordering on China. The expedition
was sponsored by the Arnold arbore-
tum and the Harvard university bo-
tanical and geological departments.
Many difficulties had to be overcome
during the trip, according to Profess
.or Rocks report. All the marching
was done, in the first place, at high
attitudes, seldom less than 10000 feet,
with the atmosphere so rarefied that
breathing was rendered difficult. Bit
ter cold in the high attitudes contrast
ed sharply with the heat encountered
on other marches through sun-stricken
desert lands.
Through snow and ice, wind and
sleet, mud and sand the expedition
finally won, and has brought to the
arboretum and the Harvard museums
a great wealth of scientific data.
Though the data and specimens col
lected have not yet been completely
was worth while, according to the re-
port of Professor Rock. The new col
lection consists of some 10000 sheets
of plants, several hundred packages
containing seeds of rare plants, sam
pies of trees and wood found in Tibet,
sand valuable photographs, besides ex-
| tensive data on scientific matters.
Many rare and even some al
most extinct birds are in the collec-
! ton. Among these are specimens of
the beaded eagle, having wing
spread Of over ten feet; Kolonor
| cranes, black neck cranes, several
hitherto unknown species of pleas
ants, bar neck geese, white ibis, her
ons, cormorants, blue tail bush robins.
snow cocks, ravens and snpe. Fully
300 different species of birds are to
be found in the collection, according
to an estimate of Doctor Qutram
Bangs, now engaged In a final CLASH
cation.
The expedition started In 1924.
Prof. Charles Sprague Sargent, direc-
tor of the aboretum, who died in Bos-
ton while the expedition was still in
China, was partly responsible for the
expedition, and the expenses were
borne entirely by the .arboretum au.
thorities.

Mechanical Painting

Painting mile-long cables suspended
betweeu7 steel towers and carrying
electric power across river near
Tacoma, Wash, was a troublesome
job until new device was rugged up
recently. Two semi-cylindrical wood
blocks with brushes on their inner
faces were clamped on each cable and
paint fed into them from fifteen
gallon tank on top. The device was
moved the full length of each cable
by tiny car In which two men
rode. 1t coasted downgrade and was
pulled upgrade on the cable by a hand

"Here's q story:
"a lady was on the way home from
a dance when sharp attack of pain
seized her; so she told her chauffeur
to drive straight to Doctor Pillsbury's.
"Doc PilIsbury examined her and
made his diagnosis. Then he said:
"'You have caught severe chill.
Go straight home, dress and get to
bed"

Thomas Edison and Count
 CZernin Make Predictions

New York, Nov P,--World af- fairs today point to new interna- iional conflicts, in the opinions of Thomas A. Edison and Count Otto kar Czernir. minister Of foreign af- fairs for Austria Hungary during the war
 European nations Sooner or later" vii! combine in war against the United States. said MT. Edison. England, France and Germany will mass fin the near future against Russia and bolshevism, prophesied Count Zzernin.
 Mir. Edison's prediction was made in the current issue of the Popular Science Monthly, in an interview dealing with his research in rubber production, made with the coopera- ton of Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone. His objective, he said, is the discovery of a plant which will produce rubber quickly in America in the event of a war with Europe.
 Don't make any mistake about the war" said Mr. Edison. Tt will come. We may run along for a good many years without it, but sooner or later the nations of Flu rope will combine against the tinted States. The first thing they will do will he to cut off our rubber supply.
 Count Czernin, who arrived here aboard the White Star liner Ma iestic said he saw the Day not far off when England, France and Ger many will rise together against Mos cow" Russia and bolshevism, he said, remain the great danger to peace"
 "There will not be any rest or safety" Count Czernin said, as long as the rcvolutionizing propaganda ot the soviet government is allowed to go on.

 Discussing Austrias case, Count Czernin said the country's only sal vation was in union with the Ger man republic, an event in his opln- ion. "bound to take place sooner or later.'

 Mrs. Grayson expressed her de- termination to make a fourth at tempt to fly across this year as soon as minor repairs and adjustments, now being made by Sikorsky engin- ccrs and mechanics. were completed. Suggestions of Major Chamberlin, Mrs. Grayson indicated, may be adopted before the fourth start is attempted.

State Forest Week

Governor Hunt has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation on Forest Week:
The president has designated the
week Of April 24-30, inclusive, as
American Forest Week, and request
ed the cooperation Of the governors Of
the several states.
The working out of a far-sighted
forest policy is Of practical concern
not only to those states with large
areas of forest land, but also to those
whose citizens are primarily interested
as consumers Of forest products.
With widespread forest culture, new
wealth would spring up for the sup
port Of roads, schools and local gov
ernment.
American Forest Week gives use
full opportunity for taking counsel on
what can and should be done to bring
neglected and waiting lands into use.
Every citizen whose thoughtlessness
and carelessness in not properly ex-
tingaishing fires kindled in the
woods, has the obligation Of respect
ing the forest and guarding it from
it's worst enemy, fire.
Therefore, I, George w. n. Hunt,
governor Of the state Of Arizona, do
hereby request that all citizens of the
state do observe American Forest
Week; and I urge that attention be
