Citizens Rout Bandits

For a very good reason one hears
less of the Observation-Disclosures
comitadjis these days. Formerly the
bands formed in Bulgaria and rode
across Macedonian southern Serbia to
Albania, plundering and levying trib-
ute on the villagers as they galloped
through. They would rest while in
Albania, and then fight and plumber
their way back again to Bulgaria. The
YugO-Slav government has organized
the villages to protect themselves.
Each village was asked If it wanted
arms. Most of the villages answered
in the affirmative. Arms and ammu-
milton were distributed, and a SER
geant was detailed to each village to
organize the defense. After few
raids In which the comitadjis had
heavy losses, they gave up their &C
tivities. For some time all has been
quiet in southern Serbia.

"Dodging" Raindrops

The old joke about lodging the rain
drops had some foundation, after all.
If you 60 fast enough you can dodge
'em, say aviators of the United States
army air corps at McCook field, Day
ton, Ohio.
A pilot riding in the open cockpit
of plane through heavy rainstorm
will not get wet, the fliers say. But he
does not ride between the drops. The
speed of the plane produces such
rush of wind about the ship that the
rain is carried backward instead of
falling upon it.

Study of Nature Made
Schools Special Work

The main object of the study Of ma
ture in the Berkeley (Calif.) ele-
mentary schools is to give each child
the opportunity of becoming &C
Quainted with the simplest phases of
plant and animal life, writes Celia
Paroni, in Nature Magazine Of Wash
ingtOn. This, the nature study teach
er says, keeps the pupil active, inter-
ested and looking for new aspects of
the life about him, and makes him
happy and helpful member Of his
group.
As to nature study, Mrs. John D.
Sherman, president Of the General
Federation Of Women's clubs, says:
There is nothing but unanimity Of
opinion among the women leaders Of
the nation regarding the necessity Of
teaching children to know, appreciate
and enjoy nature. 1t is due to every
child that his mind be opened to the
voices Of nature; all his senses so
trained and adjusted that the world
will become alive to him."
Nature work is part of the class
work from the kindergarten to the
high sixth grade, rs minutes being
scheduled for it in the lower and 30
minutes in the upper grades, the teach
er says. Being correlated with Ian
guage, reading, geography, art, music,
and manual work, more than the al
loted time is often given to it.
In the lower grades the work con-
sists, as much as possible, of the OBJ
servation and study Of live forms of
plant and animal life, found in the
child's home environment.
Where classes are small enough and
where parks, hillsides, the university
campus, children's home gardens or
school gardens are located in the
neighborhOod, field trips are taken.
These nature activities have been
found to greatly vitalize the other
subjects Of the classroom, and teach
ers have admitted the greater interest
that pupils have shown in reading and
in oral and written language work
and have also acknowledged a new
and happier interest on their own part
in their teaching work.

Divorce in Bird[and

A blow has been struck at the be-
lief that birds choose their mates for
life and are free from the evils Of d.
vorce by a ten-years' study Of bird
habits.
The birds that were observed were
household wrens, which usually raise
two broods Of young birds each year.
Instead of the bird family persisting
from year to year, or even through a
single season, the parent birds were
found to change mates between the
two broods Of one year.
The mating lasts only during the
time the young birds are helpless.
After that each parent feels quite free
to make whatever new arrangement
may seem desirable.

Neru Altitude Indicator

Eight times as sensitive as barom-
eter. This is the claim made for d
new instrument which measures alti-
tudes above sea level. French phys
icists have invented this efficient
method, which involves heating a wire
Of resistance by passing an electric
current through 1t. When steady
temperature has been produced, the
wire, If moved upwards, will become
cooler owing to the lesser density OF
the surrounding air. The instrument
can be carried by climbers. The drop
in temperature gives more accurate
index of the increase in altitude than
the ordinary pocket aneroid used by
mountaineers.

Writers HELPED Each Other

Thomas Carlyle and Ralph Waldo
Emerson each was aware Of the
genius In the other but they had diff
culties in getting the public to accept
their works. They helped each other,
however, Emerson bringing about the
early publications of Carlyle's essays
in this country, and Carlyle arranging
for the first edition of Emerson's that
was published in England. After try
ing for years to find publisher for
"The French Revolution" Carlyle
wrote to Emerson:
Thave given up the notion Of hawk
ing my little manuscript book any
further; for q long time it has lain
quiet in its drawer, waiting for bet
ter day. Sad fatei to serve the devil
and get no wages even from him.

At,nospherics From, catl

While listening from a crystal set,
a Manchester (Eng.) man started to
stroke q cat that lay at his feet. Sim
ultaneously with every stroke he no
ticed atmospherics in the phones.
Thinking that the noises might be
caused by movements Of his body and
the flex cord, he tried stroking the
carpet instead of the cat. He found
that only by, stroking in one place
could he obtain the atmospherics, and
there they appeared even when the
cat was stroked by somebody else.
While using coherer as detector,
Sir Oliver Lodge had similar expe-
rience. He attributed the noise to lit
tie sparks caused by stroking a dry
cat, and sufficiently powerful to affect
the wireless set.
