Chang Kai-Shek's alleged pro-
p0sal that all Chinese factions unite
and make war upon japan recalls
the trouble between Chinese and
Koreans which took place In three
Korean cities early this month and
which may have furnished the
nationalist president with inspira-
ton for his suggestion.
Koreans Attacked
The trouble started when about
500 Chinese attacked 200 Koreans
At Wampaoshan because the Chi
nese objected 10 the employment OK
Koreans on an irrigation project
there.
Shortly thereafter the Koreans
retaliated with mob action which
resulted I'm the death or many
Chinese and the destruction OF
considerable Chinese property.
Japanese polio finally restored
order. Subsequently the Chinese
nationalist government announced
1t had made stron- representations
to Japan and for a time there was
fear repriSals would take place
In Manchuria and Mongolia against
the thousands OF Koreans there.

Train Telephones

Telephonlng from moving train is
made possible by use Of the lines OF
the telegraph wires that parallel all
railroad tracks. The conversation Is
broadcast to them. runs along the
wires to central station and Is then
transferred to ordinary telephone
wires. The instrument looks not I'M
like radio broadcaster. An ordinary
telephone Is used and the voice trans
mitted by the broadcaster to the tele-

There Is legend Of New England
concerning an Indian named Joe Eng
lIsh, whose real name was Merruwa'
comet. lie was friendly to the colon
lists and was used as a guide for scout.
ing parties. While hunting he was
surprised by hostile Indians and re-
treated, his pursuers following him.
Finally he came to small mountain.
perhaps a little less than thousand
feet high, on which there was a sharp
preclpice. The Indians believed that
they had caught Joe English, but as
they were about to capture him he
leaped over the preclpice and dlsap-
peared. His pursuers naturally thought
that he was dead, but in reality he had
merely jumped to q ledge where he
remained hidden until his pursuers
left. At night he returned to the Eng
fish fort at Old Dunstable. The incl
dent occurred In Vermont.

Living clamps"

Clark's animals of Land and Sea-"
devotes a chapter to Living Lamps"
and mentions that more than two
dozen different types Of llght-emitting
organs are found among the fishes,
some very simple, others exceedingly
complex with a structure more or less
like that of eyes but fitted to send out
light rays instead of to receive them.
William Beebe's 1.-THE Arcturus Adven'
ture" also gives an account Of various
myctophids or lantern fishes and other
luminous fishes found by him in deep
water. Clark's book goes Into detail
regarding the various forms Of life
believed to be luminous. The barn
owl of western Europe shines by night
through the intermediary Of a fungus
that sticks to It's feathers. A certain
tree frog Of Europe exudes from Its
body shining substance with lumin-
Gus properties. Luminous and phos-
phorescent centipedes, earthw0rms,
gnats, jellyhsh, tunIcates, flreflles and
glow worms, crustaceans, etc, are de-
scribed by this same authority.

Australian Finds New
Way Of Making Living

A smart British gentleman has in
vented a new way of making a livell-
hood, reveals the Sydney Bulletin. 1t
consists of going to church and for
bidding the banns Of any prospective
newlyweds. He merely rises and says
In n hollow tone, II object" and goes
outside and waits.
II either principal has anything to
conceal--and most Of them have-a
crushed individual generally comes
out, gives him all the money in the
personal exchequer and implores him
to keep the secret deep and dark.
Sometimes both the bride and the
bridegroom fork over loose change and
even jewelry.
OF course, II both the man and the
girl are confident Of their respective
rectltude, he does not get a cent, but
on the whole, the Bulletin says, there
is decent living in the business.

in Difference to the conservatism Of

in Difference to the conservatism Of
age
Some day. naturally, the boy would
blossom out into a new and wider en-
terprlse. 1t was right that he should.
He had the ability, the opportunity,
the ambition. But while the father
lived, there he remained In the shop,
right-hand to the business, right-hand
to the parent.
And of course, along about the time
the older man began to feel upon him
self the Shadow, there began to move
across his mind torments, fears, heart
aches, even terror for the future of
this boy. There was something so
naive and trusting and simple about
this son. His one weakness in the
affairs of business was his tendency to
take every one at his word.
Such youth would fall easily and
readily into the hands of any woman
who desired him sufficiently. and at
twenty-nine there was dignity to this
fellow. fine clarity Of eye and brow
and 6 naive quality that gave him
added attraction.
With the old gentleman standing
by to add his pinch Of cyniclsm when
ever necessary, all that was well and
good. The boy had had his threats
of pitfalls and come out unscathed.
1t was the aftermath the father dread.
ed. What about after he had passed
on?
1t therefore became almost a secret
ObsesSiOn with him. What about this
boys future? A woman could break
or make him. What untold relief to
see this boy settled in life before
Intuitive always, the old man
watched for signs. The reticence of
secret thoughts-there was none Of
that. The absorption in some one of
the many charming young women who
come into the shop-not a suggestion
of personal interest with anyone. The
telephones unexplained demands that
might suggest hidden sweetheart
there were no clews there to indicate
a preparation for the inevitable.
Countless times he attempted to
breach the subject but the boy would
have none of it. Not interested in
women! Why must father get on the
morbid subject of death-nothing but
govt the matter with himl Let the
future take care of itself.
The future did take care Of itself.
One spring evening the son Of the old
druggist entered the sick room with
look Oh his face that caused the
heart of the old man to leap In terror
and hope.
This boy was in love!
He was. and the matter of introduc-
ing the girl to father who depended
so strongly upon intuition was time
of untold nervousness to the boy.
"If you don't like her, Father, it's
terrible to have to tell you, but If you
don't like her Pm going to marry her
anyway"
1t required only one meeting to set
the fluttering old heart of the tlutter-
ing old man at rest She was right
She was the assured future Of his boy.
She was everything. in her strawberry
haired prettiness, with the mouth so
prettily Swallowed by a mole, her eyes
so prettily Swallowed by good common
sense, that this father could wish
for his son.
One felt so at home with her at the
very first meeting. 1t was as If one
had known her before.

Recalling Early Days
of Chartist Movement

Discovery of 1902 copy of Tom
Paines "Rights of Man" in the thatch
of an old house in Cumberland, Scot
land, recalls those stirring early days
in the workingmen's movement when
possession of that fiery rebels book
was cause for transportation to the
prison colonies. It was time Of mis-
cry and degradation among the weav-
ers. and then first took form the revo-
lutionary democratic agitation which
finally eliminated In the Chartist
movement. Sweeping through the rank
and file of English and Scot working
people in the years when our North
and South were breaking apart over
slavery, Chartism sought universal
suffrage, vote by ballot, equal cleo
toral areas and abolition of property
qualifications, all of which were in
time secured. With those hard won
accomplishments today commonplace
facts Of everyday life, we do well to
remember that one of its guiding splr-
its was more at home inside prison
walls than out and that his devoted
followers, at the risk of their freedom,
read his printed words in closest Sc
crecy and hid them away In roof
matches.

In County Wicklow In Ireland the

every village Is full q diversified

Tyrol village on the steep banks OF
the Ayonmore, the Vale Of Avoca, the
Devils glen, Glenealy, Arklow, and
even Shlllclagh, where was the IA
nous blnckthorn wood which gave Its
name to the short, nobby sticks which
until recent years, were the insepara'

others. The wood was cut down In
1898, but tradition says that the king
Of Lelnster sent wood from here to
william Rufus for the roof OF West

Li-htest Known Gases

one cubic foot Of hydrogen under
ordinary conditions will lift OH
mound. One cubic foot Of hellum gas

lIgbtest gases known and practically
the only ones used for balloons. It is
stated that the government helium

about $12 per thousand cubic feet, or
at a little more than twice the cost OF

Indians Believed Lake
to Be Home of Dead

Before the coming of the white man
into what is now Colorado, the Ute
Indians, proud possessors Of the coun-
try, watched the mists rising from
Echo lake and, with weird incanta-
lions, held many of their strange
tribal rites on its shores. To them the
lake, with its strange mists, was
sacred.
They could not fathom the mystery
of the heavy mlsts, but they knew
that they came from the lake and
were lost in the heavens. The In
dams observed the Milky way, and in
their legends 1t was known as the
home of their dead. They thought the
mists from the lake formed the Milky
way.
The lake is known today for Its
strange echoes that ring along its
rocky shores with many reverbera-
.tions. To the Indians the echoes of
their voices in their many religious
services and In everyday life on the
shores of the lake were the answering
voices of their departed friends and
relatives in the happy hunting
rounds.-Detrolt News.

Pacific Islanders Go
Back to the Primitive

The disappearance of the sailing
ship has wrought curious change In
some of the more isolated sections Of
the world. For instance, on many Of
the islands In the South Pacific, tiny
palm-crCstcd knobs Of greenery stick
ing up out Of II blue sea, the calendar
10 being turned backward.
In the days when thousands Of
winged freighters amhlcd leIsurely on
their way, many Of them from four
to six months out, II was customary
and often imperative that they heave
to and send a party ashore to trade
tobacco, clothing and trlnkets for
vegetables, fruit, fresh meat and
water.
During the course Of year this
happened not once, but several times,
each contact leaving Its Imprint on
the eager, friendly natives. In time.
they learned some Of the rudlments
of civilization, although the value of
many of them was highly debatable.
Nowadays, life on those islands that
are not regularly visited by either
tourist steamers or trading schconers,
constitutes a different picture alto
gether, and possibly a happier one.
No more do the rowing wlndjammera
pay their short, informal calls for
needed supplies; and the steamers
have no reason to stop. their refrig-
Grated storerooms being well stocked
with fresh food, their courses being
figured out to within one days steam
ing time.
Living conditions on the more re-
mote islands, then, have slipped back
into the habits which prevailed before
the coming of the white man.-Tom
White In the North American Review
