JONAH'S tale
NO FISH STORY
Clergyman Cites like
Cases as Proof of
Yarns Truth

CHELTENHAM, Eng, lR-One OF
the strangest Investigations Of all
times is being carried on here by
the Rev. John Ambrose Wilson, an
aluminus of Queens College, OXFORD.
The Rev. Mr.. Wilson is seeking
to prove that Jonah was rot telling
q fish story and that he really in
habited a whale for awhile.
Since the publication CT an article
in the Princeton Theological Review
the Rev. Mr.. Wilson has been de-
luged with letters giving him fur
Their evidence for his theory that II
was physically. b~iologically and 9TH
erwise possible for Jonah to have
lived three days inside the whale.
The English clergyman now Is pre-
pairing another article to confirm the
first.
He maintains that Jonah was not
the only person swallowed by q
whale. He cited two ether cases, one
Of recent times. Recently, however,
his attention has been called by cor
respondents to possible additional
cases. which he is investigating. He
is likewise looking up mere confirm
atory facts on the two cases already
cited.
Il wouldn't advise anyone else to
try to book passage on a whale" Mr..
Wilson said. "He would find the
mammals stomach a pretty hot
place. The heat within the whale
has been estimated at 10l degrees
Fahrenheit.
when James BARLEY, one Of the
crew Of the whaler Star of the East
was swallowed by q whale in 1891,
nea the Falkland islands, he emery
ed the next day, after his ship
mates had captured the whale, with
his hands, face and neck permanent
ly bleached j sickly white. This was
caused by the whales gastric
juices. BARLEY said. moreover. that
the terrific heat in the whales belly
seemed TO deprive him of all vital
ity."
The second instance upon which
the Rev. Mr.. Wilson relies is that Of
Marshall jenkins. relsted bv the
Boston Post Boy in 1771. jenkins
was swallowed by a sperm whale
and shortly afterward thrown out
upon the wreckaze Of his boat. He
was bruised, but not seriously in
iured

Potato Seed For
South Studied Ry
Northern Grower

GRAND FORKS, N. D., (P-Grow-
ing potatoes in the North for use
rs seed in the South has become an
established industry. a survey con
Quoted through southern fields by n
group Of northern " has
shown.
Ways and means Of meeting this
industry in satisfactory manner has
been taken up by several agencies,
including the Great Northern rail-
road agricultural department. county
agents in North Dakota, Minnesota,
and Montana, and several OF the
more prominent newspapers. Plans
call for a campaign for certified
seed with which to meet southern
demands.
Experience is declared 20 have
demonstrated that il pays the south
ern farmer to plant northern grown
certified seed. Climatic and other
conditions are such in the far South
that native seed does not possess
the vitality that makes \ depend
able WELD possible. Certified seed.
as distinguished from seed grown
under ordinary field conditions. has
come to be recognized among plant
erx OF the South as worth the al
ditional cost because Of increased
yields.
Vitality In the seed Is generally
considered a determining factor in
production OF a profitable crcp. Dis
eases that may have but little i'm
portanee in northern fields become
ser:our. il is reported. under con-
ditions that prevail IN the South.
It is By performance in the field
that northern grown certified seed
has won recognition. Demonstra-
lions under practical tests in many
fields and in different states are re-
ported TO show increased Yields OF
