Odd Creature Found
in Jungles of Jara

A scaly monster Of the prehuman
ages of the earth, surviving into mod
ern times in the almost unvislted
swampy fastness Of southern Java, is
reported to the German scientific jour
nal Die Umschau by DR.. P. valgeler.
1t is described as a one-horned rhi-
noceros, related to form already
known elsewhere in the East Indies
but differing from it in that its almost
naked hide Is closely covered with
small, hard, horny scales It also has
enormous front teeth, like those Of
hippopotamus. 1t has often been de-
scribed by the natives under the name
'Tanggiling," which means ''scaly
beast" but Europeans were incredu
lous, regarding these reports as folk
lore. A few professional hunters among
the whites had killed specimens; but
they could obtain such high prices
from the Chinese, who use the hide
and horns Of rhinoceroses in medicine,
that they were secretive about the
business and did not share their
knowledge with scientists. Finally,
however, photographs were brought
out Of the Jungle showing clearly that
the animal is something entirely new
to science. Now that Its existence
has been authenticated 1t is expected
that efforts will be made to obtain
living specimens for geological parks.

he's actually woman's superior only
where tests of physical power are con-

resistant to suffering and quicker to

USED BY FRANKLIN

"Ca Ira" was a popular song Of the
French revolution. The words are of
uncertain origin, one version probably
being the composition of Ladre,
street singer. The air was popular

Marie Antoinette's. French writer's

Left Name in History

King-Maker was the name given to
Richard Neville, earl Of Warwick, one
of the most powerful mobiles Of the
Middle ages. He took prominent
part In the Wars of the Roses. He
raised an army of 10000 and placed
the duke of York on the throne. Then
he turned to the house Of Lancaster,
deposed Edward of York and restored
Henry W. The restoration lasted
only few months, for the Yorkists
won the bloody battle Of Barnet In
April, 1474, in which Warwick was
slain. The duke of York was restored
as King Edward Nv. Lytton's histor-
ical romance, "The Last Of the
Barons," is based on the career Of
Warwick, the ing-Maker.-Montreal
