English Beauty Spot
in Heart of Sussex

The perfect English village lies In
the heart of Sussex and is called
Streat. The village has no shops, no
public buildings, or even post office,
and gasoline stations are unknown.
Streat. sometimes known as Street, Is
aptly named. 1t has but one street.
narrow and winding. with surface
which makes every spring and bolt In
a motor car groan their disapproval.
This rustic approach runs between
typical English scenery-hedgerow
and orchards. whose trees are laden
with rosy apples, and from behind
which peep farmyards with haystaeks,
stables and doyecotes. There Is a
beautiful tiny church, of the early Eng
lish style, on a wall of which is list
of reetors dating back to Philip Be-
mond in 1887. To complete the pic
ture there is smlthy, from which
every day comes the changing of ham,

and village school, Everything Is

Simple Fire Extinguishers

There are certain kinds of chemical
fire extinguishers which consist Of d
strong metal cylinder nearly filled
with solution Of baking soda. Held
firmly In the top of the cylinder Is a
bottle of sulphuric acid. There is an
opening In the top of the cylinder
which is connected with the nozzle by
means of a short rubber tube. When
the extingulsher is inverted the acid
falls out of the bottle and, mingling
with the soda generates carbon dlox-
Idle. The pressure Of this generating
gas forces the solution mixed with the
gas out of the nozzle and smothers
the fire.

FEDERAL GRAND JURY
TRYING OUT JONES ACT

Montanans who may be unfamiliar
with the Jones act, providing maxi
mum penalty of five years and fine
of $4,000, for prohibition law infrac-
ton may be interested in knowing
that the grand jury at Great Falls
now in session, has indicted about %
men out of total of 1T and that
prosecutions will be conducted under
the new law.
This much discussed law is short
and to the point. 1t was approved by
congress March 2, this year: Follow
ing is the act:
BE it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in congress
assembled, That wherever penalty
or penalties are prescribed in a crini-
nal prosecution by the National Pro-
hibition act, as amended and supple
mented, for the illegal manufacture
sale, transportation, importation, OIL
expectation of intoxicating liquor, as
defined by section l, Title II, of the
National Prohibition act, the penalty
imposed for each such offense shall
be fine not to exceed $4,000 OF
Imprisonment not to exceed five
years, or both: Provided, That it is
the intent of congress that the court
in imposing sentence hereunder
should discriminate between casual
or slight violations and habitual sales
of intoxicating liquor, or attempts to
commercialize violations of the law.

SERIES OF ROBBERIES
BATTLE STATE OFFICERS

A series of robberies has been 60
ing on almost nightly throughout the
southern part of the state, starting
in Carbon county and ending in Vel
lowstone county the past week. Last
Wednesday night, shortly after II
o'clock, the Switzer drug store at
Fromberg was entered and the safe
door was blown off and about S225
in currency and silver was stolen.
Some $40 of the amount was money
that had Just been taken in at a
minstrel show given by the Fromberg
ladies aid. Some fountain pens and
pencils were missing. The same
night entrance to the Pierce billiard
parlor was made, but only a small
sum of money had been left in the
safe, which had been left unlocked.
The same night the outfit broke
into the Humphrey & Larimore gar
age at Edgar and the combination
was knocked off the safe and about
500 stolen. Nitro-glycerine had al
so been used on this safe and it was
completely wrecked. Both elevators
at Edgar were also entered and small
sums of money found at each place.
Reports also had it that the store
at Pryor, on the Crow Indian reser-
walton had been robbed, as we'll as
stores at other inland points. On
Sunday night the robbers visited
Joliet and the postoffiee was entered.
No money order blanks or stamps
were taken and all the money found
was 80 cents. Postmaster Honnold
makes practice of leaving no change
around and had taken the receipts
home with him that night so that
protection was given Uncle Sam.
Evidently the robbers went directly
to Laurel from Joliet, as that same
night the city hall at that place was
entered and some cash taken. The
Sawyer store was also broken into
but as there was no money in the
safe the work was in vain. Nothing
else was found missing although the
place had been thoroughly ransacked.
The filling station belonging to Sher-
row Bros. was also entered and about
IS in silver, a 40 automatic revolver
and new balloon tire was stolen.
The next place where wholesale
entries were made WAS Rosebud,
between Forsyth and Miles
City. On Monday night the pool hall
at that place was entered and niekle
and quarter slot machine were car
ried away as was new Winchester
rifle. The slot machines were be-
lieved to, contain about sos. ~
Every indication and all clues left
are that the whole series of robberies
were done by the same parties. The
trail spreads over many a mile and
Sheriff Albert has been busy INIT
to corner the fellows and
with the depredations continuing it
is felt that the guilty parties will be
found, ~

New sport for those who enjoy
mountain climbing may be found in
the Saxon Alps, southeast of Dres-
den. Instead of thousands of feet,
the highest of these miniature noun
tains offers only 400 feet of actual
climbing, but they rise almost per-
pendicularly and have few projecting
hedges for feet and hands. The noun
tains are of soft sandstone to which
the soft-soled shoe clings without
slipping, and even experienced Alpin-
lists admit that the technique is more
difficult than that required in the
Alps or Dolomites.

In Tennessee where the legislature
does not believe in Paleontology, a
scientist has just uncovered the larg-
est cache of flints ever found in AM
erica. The discovery was made I'M
der rock shelter where some indi-
vidual had hidden his accumulation
of flints. They date back to the Pale
olithic age, which is the earliest stone
age, of 100000 years ago.
ssss
The collection made by DR.. Roy
Chapman Andrews in Mongolia num-
Der IN flints and dart points between
10000 and 10000. They have ar
rived in New York and will be en- dis
play at the American Museum Of Ma
tural History.
) The expeditions into Mongolia have
uncovered more information regard
ing paleontology in the last six years
than the previous so years.
Ss3s
:. DR.. George G. Simpson of the AM
erican Museum has made some new
discoveries In Florida which show a
development of mammal life in the
southern peninsula unrecorded here
tofore. The findings show that the
elephant and mammoth live in this
region longer or rather later than any
region in North America. The on
coming ice period may have driven
these creatures where they finally
persisted.
Wherever there is a sea there is
also and abundance of life. Contrary
TO the popular belief, the source of
organic material in the sea is met
with in the cold-water areas. The
seas in the Arctic and Antarctic
regions are teeming with life, as
shown by the extraordinary abund-
sance of whales and seals in these two
regions. Likewise the great wealth
of bird life is found in the penguin
rookeries in the Antarctics. In the
sea itself animal life, both in the sur
face waters and ON the bottom, is
more dense in the polar regions than
in the tropics.
Thus we see the opposite condition
in the seas than is displayed on land.
''The colder seas are richer in life
than the warmer ones"
ssss
Coastal waters contain more life
than the open seas on account of the
food supply being greater near the
shoreline. The distribution of sea
life is wider than land life, for the
reason that the travel routes of the
seas carry the organisms from pole
to pole while on land the ambulatory
animals are confronted by barriers
of water and mountains in their mi
grafton routes.
One of the outstanding discoveries
OF fossil specimens was made in
southern California near Los Angeles.
The La Brea asphalt quarry in an
cient times was a large pool of as
phalt accumulated in a depression of
the earth. Animals looking for wa
ter were caught in this pool just as
flies are caught on sticky fly paper.
The asphalt IS now being taken out
of this quarry for commercial pur-
poses. Embedded in this deposit the
remains of large series of mammal
bones have been recovered. The bones
are not petrified because the action
of the water was excluded by the as
phalt. By heat treatment these fos-
sill specimens have been prepared
for museum purposes. Complete
skeletons are the rule in the La Brea
field. Remarkable numbers and var
ieties of mammals have been found
showing the past animal life Of pre-
historic California.
