Hard to Confne Eli

No person has yet devised wire
fence that an elk cannot easily de-
molish In order to get at food supply
and hence the elk Of Utah have de-
velOped into very serious nuisance.
Some years ago cry Of alarm was
sent out for the elks, which were
threatened with determination. As
most Of the elks Of this country were
located In Utah, practical measures
were adopted which were so success
full that the elk has become q serious
nuisance, breaking their way through
barriers and devOuring forage wanted
for the domestic animals. Various
measures have been tried to regulate
the elk supply without avail until 1t
was decided to permit shooting Of the

MARCH OF MONGOLS
HELD RECORD FEAT
Not Duplicated by Cavalry
in Any Age.

. A march Of 80 degrees Of longitude
was made by the Mongol Horde OF
Genghis Khan early in the Thirteenth
century. 1t was the most remarkable
feat performed by cavalry in all his
tory.
Starting from the northern Cobb,
100000 hOrsemen crossed the ranges
OF Central Asia, passed over the KILL
Kun desert, took Samarkand and Box
hara, went through the Hindu Kush
and looked in on Delhi, turned west
over modern Afghanlstan and north.
ern Persia, including the great salt
desert, continued on west into a cor
ner of Armenia, turned north and
passed through the Caucasus, entered
the Russian steppes, swung down into
the Crimea on the Black sea, and into
Europe as far as the Dnieper river,
then returned to the Cobb through the
heart Of what is now Russia.
This trek Of wandering army is
remarkable in itself. But every foot
Of the route lay through hostile coun-
try, and battles were the order Of the
day. Moreover, the march from Az
ghanistan westward was made by two
Of the Mongol Eagles, or marshals-
Subotai and Chepe Noyan-with two
and half humans. A tuman, or cav
airy division, numbered 10000. So the
two Eagles could not have had more
than $4,000.
They were ordered by Genghis Khan
to set out In pursuit Of the Moham-
medan emperor, to ride him down
wherever he went In the world and
not to come back until he was dead.
They did.
Many of US have been given the I'M
preston that the MOngols were a MI
gratory people, vast multitudes NOV
Ing over and cOnquering half the
world. Also that the Mongols were
Chinese.
They were no more Chinese than the
Arabs are Turks. They conquered
Thirteenth-century China. The Horde
was disciplined body OF cavalry that
could 60 anywhere.
It was untiring As for its rate Of
progress, Subotai once galloped with
10000 men 200 kilometers in a little
less than three days. 1t was handled
with all the genius Of Ghenghis Khan
and the veteran Eagles, who had
waged war for generation in China.
The victories gained by the Mongols
Invariably, swiftly, and with terrible
losses to the foes-seem incredible un-
til we reflect that the armies Of the
Middle ages were accustomed to fight
In compact masses, either standing
their ground or charging. The Mon

First American Flags
Displayed in Warfare

1t Is perhaps little known that the
first American flag displayed lat sea-
was raised by Colonel Wynkoop, com.
mander Of the Royal Savage, one o.
Benedict Arnold's little fleet in Lake
Champlain, in 1778. This nag was a
replica Of the first striped flag, hoisted
over Washington's headquarters at
Cambridge. 1t consisted of thirteen al
ternate red and white stripes in the
field and retained the colors Of Eng
land, the united crosses of st. George
and st. Andrew on blue ground, in
the canton. This flag was known in
England as "The Rebellious Stripes"
"A picturesque incident is told Of
the first Stars and Stripes used in a
military engagement" said Mr.. Ames,
foremost flag manufacturer in the
country. "The Revolutionary flag Of
thirteen stripes with circle Of thir-
teen stars was adopted by the Cont
mental congress on June IA, 1777, but
the statute was not officially promul-
gated until the third Of the following
September. Meanwhile a copy Of an
Albany newspaper describing the flag
had fallen under the eye of a Cont
mental officer from Massachusetts on
his way with reinforcements to Fort
Schuyler, formerly Fort StanwiI,
where the city of Rome, N. Y, now
stands.
He arrived at 8 p. m. on August
2, and very opportunity, too, as 1t
turned out For the British attacked
the fort the following morning, which
was Sunday. Before the end Of the
day the garrison had run up the first
American battle flag. White stripes

A blue canton was improvised from
the military coat of one Capt. Abra-
ham SwartOut, who, year later, wrote

All Material Things
Matter of Vie,Upoint

A Minneapolis bookseller, speaking
one day Of book collector who was
making his cautious way through a
pile Of old books tfat had just come
In, said Of him, not unexpectedly,
He Is rather close buyer"
watched him carefully lay aside two or
three books that had a suspicious look.
Then, after he had gone through the
pile, ! saw him return to the suspicious
books, collate them carefully, study
their title pages, the copyrights on the
back of these pages, give a general
look at their condition, and then lay
them back on the pile. The decision
had been against them.
The next collector who came along
would doubtless examine them with in
terest, buy them to overflow his
shelves and flll a place In his closets
or garnet, whence they would, in time,
find their way again to the second
hand bookstore. He was the less eau
tious buyer, A. J. r. comments. In the
Minneapolis Journal.
I once read Of "a close buyer" in
another line who must have had Yam
kee ancestry. He did the buying for
the family larder and carried micro
phone. With this invention, he cauti-
ously tested the nuts and apples. If a
worm were inside, the microphone rem
dered Its gnawing audible and the ap-
pie or nut was rejected. The fruiterer
regarded the mans actions with some
distaste.
thought of the robins work on the
lawn. Doubtless the bird has a micro
phonic ear and is able to hear the
earthworn gnawing away at the planet,
and thus he locates his prey and drags
him triumphantly out.
Everything In the point Of view. The
man with the microphone doubtless
patted himself on his mental back and
thought of himself as a cautious and
wise buyer. The fruiterer's inner de-
scriptiOn of him was not so fiattering.
Speaking Of the point Of view, the
bishop Of Hereford, in England, is
quoted In an epigram that will make
you smile. He says:
II occasionally exhort the clergy Of
my own diocese to learn to conjugate:
I am firm, thou art obstinate. he Is
pig-headed.'

INSECTS THAT ARE
SUPERIOR TO MAN
Bees Government Cited az
an Instance.

No human government has ever ap-
preached in perfection the economy,
patriotism, self-sacriAce, devotion and
perpetuity to be found In the govern
ment Of the honey bees.
Biologists have sought in vain for
means Of sex determination in our
race, writes F. L. Brooks In Nature
Magazine Of Washington. Bees, wasps
and some other insects produce males,
females and neuters at will, in &C.
cordance with the needs Of the colony.
We have learned to send wireless
messages, but the insects have long
been able 10 signal one another rela-
lively long distances b some system
which We do not understand.
One of our problems In illumination
Is to create fire which CLOVIS, but
which does not burn. SO far, in our
best lights, much of the energy Of
combustion is wasted In the form of
heat. Light-producing insects, such
as the firefiies, however, are able to
kindle In their bodies a little blaze
which Is more than 90 per cent light
and less than l per cent heat.
Long before man learned to warm
his habitatiOn with fire, the bees had
discovered a muscular exercise where
by in very cold weather they could
raise the temperature Of their homes
as much as IS degrees Centigrade.
We cool our rooms with electric
fans, but before electricity was har-
messed the bumblebees had learned to
station individuals along their pas
sageways to create cool air currents
by constantly futtering their wings.
The gardener might learn points In
his art from the ambrosia beetle.
which plants beds Of succulent fungus
In Its burrows to furnish nOurish-
ment for its young.
The soldier might learn the posi-
bilities Of poisonous gases In warfare
from the bOmbardier beetle, which
hurls dlscomfOrting charges Of anacrid
gas at its enemies.
The farmer could discover that good
seeds are produced when the flowers
are pollinated, by watching the opera
lions Of the pronuba moth on yucca
blossoms.
This insect, with amazing wisdom.
Nature Magazine points out, gathers
pollen from the anthers Of the flow
ers and applies 1t directly to the
stigma, with no other object, so far
as we know, than to insure the for
nation Of plump seeds upon which
the caterplllars Of the moth depend
for food.
The surgeon might get hints on the
use Of anesthetics from the solitary
wasp. which thrusts Its drug-laden
sting into Its spider or insect victim
and by that means stupefies and pre-
serves 1t as food for future baby
wasps.
Insects are the original paper, silk
and honey makers. We have, per-
haps, beaten them in the paper bust
ness, but our imitation silk Is In
ferior to the genuine and our syn
thetic honey an abomination.

Clothes in the Discard

The people of Europe have just dis
covered that they have been wearing
too much clothing and they have
jumped to the other extreme and s.
100000 of them are now in a nudity
cult. They are swimming without
bathing suits, running naked over the
hills and doing callsthenics without
thread Of clothing. 1t began in Ger
many with q health movie called "The
Way to Strength and Beauty" This
told of recent discoveries made by
scientists concerning the wonderful
effects Of sunshine on the human
body. For the first time many heard
about ultraviolet light, those invisible
rays in sunshine that increase the per-
centage of lime and phosphorus in the
body fluids and increase resistance to
disease. Now thousands Of them are
members of swimming clubs, athletic
organizations, walking clubs and many
others, all with the avowed object Of
discarding their clothing as far as
possible.

Played With Mind Blank

The disclosure Is made that during
the recent football trial match at
Stamford Bridge, Parker, the Arsenal
fullback, who was appearing for the
Rest against the England eleven,
played throughout the second half
with his mind blank.
1t was in this half that the game
underwent a remarkable transfOrma-

down at the interval, winning by 7-3.
Parker in some way sustained concus-
sion, and after the match had no rec
objection whatever of having played in
the second half.

suffering from conclusion and quite
unconscious Of their surroundings,
have played with remarkable skill and

Reject Mail Delivery

Most American communities begin
early to try to prove to Uncle Sam that
they are grown up and should have
their mail brought to their doors. But
in California is community that does
not want its mail delivered. In Car

recently voted no to mail delivery.
The fact is that the town is an artist
community and the residents enjoy
the primitive way Of going after their
mail. Another consideration Is that
the government requires sidewalks to
be laid as the first step to free deliv-
cry and the residents do not want to
lay sidewalks.
