Archeologists Are
Puzzled by Carving

Springfield, Mo.-Findirg of
bears head carved from sandstone
near Warsaw, Mo-, has attracted at
tention of psychologists.
The crude yet very plain figure
may be more than a thousand years
old, and might have been worshiped
as some sort of idol by prehistoric
races which roamed America 500
years before the landing of Colum-
bus.
The mysterious stone figure,
plowed up on an Ozark farm, where
apparently it had been buried for
countless years, now rests in the
museum of Drury college here. The
figure is two feet square.
Experts in archaeology and ge-
ology so far have offered little
more than guesses as TO its origin.
DIR. Edward NJ. Shepard and Prof.
ID. S. Libbery of the Drury geology
faculty are studying the model to

FRISG0'S TELEGRAPH HILL
SOON WILL Be BEAUTIFIED
Famous Place Played Important
Part In Early History of
California.

San FranciscO.-Telegr hill,
which played an important part in
California's early history and in its
latter days became retreat of the
1ntelligenzia, is about TO dress up
and be formal.
Looking over San Francisco bay
from its lofty perch above the 1tal-
ian district, Telegraph hill long has
been a spot of intense local inter-
est.
1t was from the crest of the hill,
years ago, that the then new 'whiS-
pering wires" of telegraph carried
tinent. But before that-back in
the pioneer days when gun-toting
editors wrote of local happenings
Telegraph hill was the signal point
from which ships were guided
through Golden Gate.
In latter years, because of its Sc
clusion, writer's, artists and the in
telligenzia in general selected the
hayward side of the hill for their
tiny cabin abodes.
Now the hill is to become formal,
carrying with the change the dam
ger that aEother of old San Fran
cfsco's distinctions is to pass. The
North Beach Business Mems asso-
citation is sponsoring a beautitica-
tfon contest and improvements,
long spurned, are likely to be made.
This Identification idea, follow
ing the construction of a winding
ic, in no.
of the lure the old hill has for tour
lists. Already boys in the Italian
district line the streets and for a
dime show motorists up the wind
ing roadway to the crest of the hill
and point down the side where, in
the heart of a great city, nestle
numerous cabins OF the mountain
type.
Through the years Telegraph hill
has defied the age of stucco and re-
tanned much of its natural beauty.
The italian district has crowded
around the base on three sides
while on the other ships tie up and
commerce flourisheS. A memorial
to the first cross country telegraph
line adorns the peak and between
1t and the bay are the artistic
cabins, wild flowers, trees and
profusion of natural bush growth,
almost burying the small homes
with their rocky steps, ledges and
winding paths.
The Identification and improve
ment plan is generally accepted as
a threat that the city, hemmed in
by water on three sides, at last is
going to swell up over the sides
of the hill, wiping out a unique
mountain-like fastness which is
within sight and hearing of the
noisy roar of Market street.

Peculiar Mill Stones

Before England became an indus
trial country, and when the villages
were self-supporting, mill stones
were used by the villagers to grind
their corn. A remarkable feature
of the stones was that the surface
of the lower stone was carved with
Il fixed harp pattern of hollows and
ridges, disposed in a certain direc-
tion between the axle and the per-
imeter of the stone, so as to obtain
uniformity of grinding and regulate
the flow Of flour to the edge.-De-

Cats Sight in Dark

A cats whiskers have no relation

cats eyesight is excellent, at night
it is supplemented by the highly
sensitive feelers, or long hairs, that
project from the muzzle and above
the eyes, each springing from a fol
licle from which a special nerve
communicates with the brain. With
the use of these a cat is able to feel
its way about in the dark without

Nature Solves Flood
Problem for Farmer

SaIina, Kan.-Nature has
settled the flood control prob
lem of j. Il. jenkins, who
owns a large farm % miles
south of Salina.
For years his farm house
was almost on the bank of
the Smoky Hill river, but
now it is a mile away. The
stream which formerly passed
through the farm does not
now touch it. The May food
cut q channel through anoth-
er mans farm and instead of
a large bend in the river the
stream now runs straight
north across the country,
cutting off a neck that makes
the river about four miles
shorter in its course. Jen-
kins did not object to the riv-
er when it was normal, but
when it was carrying flood
waters it did considerable
damage to his land and crops.
He says, however, he is sat
isfied with present conditions.

Ships Figurebeads

The custom of having a carved
image on the bow of ships seems to
have come down from the earliest
shipbuilders. In the days of the
old windjammers, the figureheads
often played, or were supposed to
play, an important part in the fate
of the ship. Not few yarns are
told, and believed, by old salts Of
igureheads that were either guardi-
ans or hoodoos. The custom as
well as the superstition is dying
out. Many of the big ocean liners
have only a little scrollwork on their
bows, while other vessels have
nothing.
