All Wild Beasts Not
Ruthless in SLAUGHTER,

No animal can approach the Chez
tab, or Hunting leopard" in speed
over short distance. The most agile
antelopes of India and Africa fall vic
Tins to the cheetah.
The leopard kills for the pleasure
of killing. It will enter sheepfold
and kill every living thing. In q
leopard country no dog is safe.
Lions rarely become man-eaters.
The reason lies partly in the holiness
Of the African natives, particularly
the Nasal, who pursue to the death
any lion that dares kill one Of their
sheep or goats.
The lion, once most numerous in
India, has almost completely disap-
peared, the few remaining being care
fully preserved. Why they have dis
appeared, where once so numerous, is
one of natures mysteries. M
The lion kills to live and VIII, 1 we'll
filled instils no fear among thu wild.
The tiger, on the contrary, is nth
less in its slaughter, treacherous, and
the dread Of its fellow creatures Of

Trace "Jolly Roger" to
Old Symbols of Death

Nearly all the ancient peoples had
symbols of death, but the probability
is that the well-known skull and cross
bones are really rude representa-.
ton Of a dead body with the arms
crossed in the usual attitude of resig-
nation. Its origin is traced back to
the Egyptian Feast Of the Dead at
which it was customary to have some
representation of skull. The ROM
ans, with the famous epicurean mot
to, 'Eat, drink and be merry, for to-
morrow we die!" often had skeleton
to decorate their banquet halls as
a reminder of the fate so soon to
overtake the jewellers. The skull and
crossbones as pirate symbol is not
ancient and was apparently unknown
to the pirates of classic and medi-
eval times. The earliest known use
of the emblem first called the "Jolly
Roger" was in the days of Captain
Kidd. Its meaning is obvious.

Secret Of Composition
/ of China Long Sought

The making of China is an intricate
and long drawn-out process. 1t once
required 25 different operations and
four weeks time to make even the
clumsy white plates which are found
In cheap restaurants. The finer chinas
require the highest of skilled labor
and materials, and their decoration
Is an art in itself. Many tried in
vain to discover the secret Of the
composition. Eventually various at
tempts were attended with success
In Italy and France. In 1909 Ger
man alchemist named Boettger discov-
cred the process after years of study.
By the end of the Eighteenth century
Germany had not less than seventeen
potteries. 1t was, however, the ORR
entail and East India companies that
placed the charm Of chinaware, which
for centuries was so rare that only
princes, kings or mobiles could possess
q piece of it, within the common reach
Of the average family.

RURAL LIBRARY SERVICE

County library service, the first OF
it's kind in Iowa, will be launched in
Hardin county, as soon as rural
schools open this fall. California
and Ohio public libraries have al
ready extended their library terri
tory to include the rural districts.
Mrs. Vivian Klemme-Ellis, Iowa
Falls and Alden, may issue books
free to rural residents. The county
board of education and Miss Bessie
Steinberger, county superintendent
of schools, are enthusiastic over tie
plan.
1t provides that residents living
outside of the three towns maintain
ing free public Libraries be given an
opportunity of using such libraries,
and especially that such libraries be
made available to the rural schools.
There are 104 rural schools in Har-
din county that would be benefited.
Each of these schools would receive
forty books a month for nine
months. Miss Mildred Albert, Ell
dora librarian, and Miss Kitty Cat
lin, Alden librarian, will work with
Mrs. Ellis in perfecting details.

Da vinci. Man of Science

The spiral spring hinge that shuts
your screen door was invented by
Leonardo da Vinci, the Fifteenth GEN.
fury painter. whose LA Belle Fer
roniere' was the subject of an ex-
tended lawsuit. Leonardo's fame as a
painter has obscured his reputation
as an inventor and a trail blazer Of
science. Yet he stated scientific laws
that four centuries Of experiment have
not altered and many Of his simplest
inventions have become part of our
daily lives. He devised the wheelbar-
row, the rotating smokestack that
turns with the wind, and the flexible
roller chain used on bicycle sprockets.

Amazon's Many Tributaries

The great size of the Amazon river
Is due to some extent to the con1gu-
ration of the land. The Amazon val
ley lies between two parallel ranges
Of mountains upon whose sides large
number Of streams of considerable
size flow. These streams have gen.
orally southeastern course and it
is probably the eastward flow of the
waters which tends to increase the
size Of the Amazon river. There is
no dividing ridge Of mountains to d.
vert part Ranti1e flow to other direc-
ltions. I'll zon has at least 200
large triI II Of which are
from 1.00U to 2,30U miles long. There
are innumerable others Of smaller size.
