French Sailors Tell
Story of "Dog Island"

An isle of Dogs" on the west of
Madagascar is a discovery made by
French sailing boat and reported by
the Frankfurter Zeitung. The captain
of this boat put ashore on the small
island of Juan de Neve in the belief
that he had caught sight of a wreck
close by. But the island was unin-
habited save for large white dog re-
sembling a terrier, which was shortly
Joined on the beach by four more of
the kind. After having surveyed the
newcomers inquiringly, the dogs set up
a long-drawn howl, which appeared to
be a signal for 20 more to join them.
Their appearance not proving very
friendly, apart from the weirdness of
the many canine races that appeared
to have been crossed, the sailOrmen put
off again, noting that the first white
terrier, which appeared to be the lead
er of the pack, watched them out to
sea long after the others had disap-
peared again among the underground.
The island resounded with bowls, not
barks. Though the skeptical may be
inclined to relegate the tale to the
fairy realms that seamen love, one
remembers the strange attack by
Thames swans mentioned in "Three
Men in a Boat" There is evidence for
its neutrality-suspicious. Van Paassen,

Unable to LiUe Euen
Hours Without Water

The most amazing race of human
beings is undoubtedly the Ell Moro,
tribe of "fishmen." who inhabit the
desert wastes bordering Lake Rudolf
in Kenya colony. Africa. This tribe
represents the only known specimens
of semi-amphibious people, and it is a
curious fact that any tribesman dies
If he is kept without water for about
three hours. AS rule they drink
every hour during the day. for even
an hour and half without water
causes cracking and bleeding Of the
lips. The El Moro tribesmen spend
their days swimming in the waters of
Lake Rudolf, and fishing from frail
RATS constructed with palm branches.
Fish is almost their only diet, and
they have no opportunity of varying
their menu unless they are fortunate
enough to spear hippopOtamus. The
water of Lake Rudolf is undrinkable
20 anyone but the FL Moro, for it con
tains large quantity of soda and has
an Objectionable taste The propor-
ton OF soda in that lake increases
yearly, and it is believed to be this
fact that has caused the "fshmen" to

No Distinctive Flag
for Vice Presidents

There is no vice presidents flag au-
thorized at the present time. In
March, 1915, a vice presidents flag
was adopted for special occasion
during the illness of President Wilson,
when Vice President Marshall visited
the U. S. S. Colorado (nOw the U. S.
5. Pueblo at the opening of the Pana-
ma-Pacific exposition in San Fran
cisco. This flag was manufactured by
the navy yard. Mare island, and flown
from the main masthead of the Col
orado during the stay of Vice Presi-
dent Marshall on board. 1t consisted
of white flag emblazoned with the
arms of the United States, which at
that time was similar to the Presi-
dents flag, which was blue flag en-
blazOned with the arms of the United
States. AT the conclusion of the visit
of Vice President Marshall the flag
was presented to him. There has only
been one other use of a vice presi-
dents flag. This was on October %
1919, when Vice President Marshall
accompanied the king of the Belgians
on board the Mayfiower for a trip to
Mount Vernon. The flag used In this
case was the same as that described
above.

Book of Kells Great
Treasure of Ireland

About the time that the Roman en-
pire was sinking and London was little
more than a haunted ruin on hill,
there was an unknown Irish monk en-
gagged, day after day. year after year,
at his writing table in an abbey at
Kells, Ireland. He was transcribing
the Gospels and making book that
has survived to this day as one of the
rarest and most beautiful in existence.
1t is called the book of Kells and
today 1t reposes in the treasure room
of Trinity college, Dublin, where many
a collector has viewed 1t and had
offers spurned. Its writer enriched it
with thousand intricacies of design,
and men looking at 1t today wonder
not only at the fertility of his brain
but at the keenness of his eyesight, so
microscopical are the lines. Once the
book was stolen and found two months
later in an earth pile where the thief
had flung it when he decided 1t was OF
no value. Now the book Is considered
the most perfect expression of Chris
tan art that has survived the Golden
age of Ireland-London Express.

Real Tribute Wrung
From August Belmont

It happened, according to a current
story. that reporters were besieging
the late August Belmont in a New
York hotel relative to large business
deal
This contest to get Mr.. Belmont to
talk went through a long day, with
out results. Finally, after dinner, one
reporter determined to try again. He
gained admission on the floor reserved
for the Belmont party. He banged on
one of the doors to the suite.
August Belmont came to the door.
'You fellows have been trying to
get me all day." he snapped. "You
have been trying to ask a lot of ques-
lions, but before l give you any an
swers let me ask you one question my
self. Why, in the name of all that is
good and holy, do the newspapers gar
ner all the persistent young men? l
hire college men, the best | can OBJ
tain, but / rarely find such persistence
as is exhibited by you newspaper men.

RaDen Led Voyogers
to Tcelands Shores

Though Iceland now belongs to Den
mark, 1t was discovered by the Mac
Douglas of Argyllshire, ancestors of
the family which ROW resides at Dun
ollie castle, and whose eldest daugh-
ter is known by the picturesque name
of the maid of Lorn."
In early days the MacDougalls were
sea rovers, and when on their adven-
turous voyages they always had with
them several ravens-their mascot
bird Sailing along the sea north
ward on a voyage of discovery, Mac
Dougall chief let loose a raven, hoping
it would show where land lay, but the
bird returned In the direction whence
they had come.
Continuing their voyage, another
raven was released, and after circling
around overhead, it came back to the
ship. Knowing the ravens unerring
instinct for making for land. they
knew there was none near.
On they sailed, and then let loose
another bird, which set off in the di-
rection they were sailing. Following
lit, these intrepid voyagers of the west

Odious Duty Falls to
Gypsies in Bulgaria

When judges in Bulgaria condemn
criminal to death, the prison officials
go out on the highways and wait IN
til they see troop of wandering
gypsies strolHng along.
Any of the gypsies will take the job
with a light heart and a grateful
THANK you, sir
For the gypsies are the executioners
of Bulgaria. They came into the lime
light in such a role in 1925, when
small colony of persons convicted of
treason, after the Communist uprising
of that year, were sentenced TO death.
Two gypsies put in a good eight
hours day with the sack and rope,
implements of the hangman's trade.
Since then, although no Bulgarian
can be found to accept the permanent
post of executioner, the prison wardens
have little difficulty getting men to
perform the disagreeable duty

Electric Safeguard

A fuse is device designed to safe
guard a wiring system and the lamps
and appliances attached to ii against
an excessive amount of current Its
essential feature is a link of metal
which melts at comparatively low
degree of heat When excessive cur
rent passes through wire, it becomes
hot The fuse as well as the wire is
part of the circuit and carries the
current. If more current than the
circuit is designed to transmit at
iempts TO pass the fuse, the metal link
is heated and melts, thus breaking the
circuit and stopping the flow of cur
rent
