 Reduced by Good Roads

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 7.-C. R Arnold, Ohio State University ex- tension economist, is of the belief good roads are partly responsible for decrease in the number of sheep in Ohio.
 He explains it thus: improved transportation facilities encouraged the growing of crops and raising of livestock other than sheep, particu- larly dairy cattle.
 Fifty years ago, he says, five mill lion sheep were raised on Ohio farms. The l930 census shows this number has dwindled to two mil lion.

more brilliant promise than he could fulfill He
a member of distinguished English fam
lily and decided at an early age 10 study archi-
lecture His skill was quickly recognized and
he was appointed travelling student Of the
Royal Academy. Through his friend, John
TIumbull, the painter he received an invitation
to come to Washington and superjntend the
building the Capitol. He was poorly fitted
for this commission, for Hadfelds was a genius
born to create and not to oversee the construc-
cut his work as superintendent Of the Capitol
seems to have broken his spirit. Benjamin
Henry Latrobe, contemporary architect, writes
of him: He loiters here ruined in fortune,
temper and deputation, nor will his irritable
pride and neglected study ever permit him to
take the station in the art which his elegant
taste and excellent talent ought to have OBJ
tanned
The bright spot in Hadfeld's career in WASH
ington was his designing of the old City Hall,
now the District Of Columbia Court House,
to become the head Of the new municipal
center Several authorities also attributed the
design of Arlington House to the temperamental
genius of George Hadfield.
Much has been written during the past year
of building plans of Pierre L Enf2nt. the man
who stood in wilderness and vsioned a city
of unsurpassed beauty. The great triangle plan
of today is a development Of his scheme of
having broad ceremonial road from the Cap
itol to the White House and using "A acres
between that road and the Mall for future Gov
eminent buildings. Though LEnfant has been
dead more than 100 years, he is still a living
force in this city today.

Corn Belt Faces Pest

DESPITE the fact that the corn bora is
u making . steady advance upon the corn
belt, officials Of the Department of Agriculture
believe that corn will still remain the principal
cash crop Of that area.
There Is little likelihood that the corn belt
will escape infestation on a fairly general basis,
but conditions Of soil, marketing and weather
make it inadvisable to substitute some other
crop for corn. Adequate measures have been
developed to combat the borer whenever it be-
comes prevalent in a community and these con-
troll measures will be essential when the infesta-
ton of the corn belt occurs.

The Ubas Tree Legend

THE Upas tree CT Java, once known as the
! deadly Upas, has been found useful by the
natives who employ it both for military pur-
poses and clothing. The juice OF the tree has
somewhat the effect of poison ivy and has been
used to tip arrows of the natives. The inner
bark is prepared into sort of cloth from
which garments are manufactured. The cloth
serves its purpose admirably unless the
wearer happens to be caught in the rain, when
a very irritating itching is set up.
The tree belongs to the mulberry family and
grows to height of about 100 feet.
According to old legend, the tree was poison
Gus not only to animal life but to vegetable
life as we'll The old stories declared that the
bones of the victims of the Upas tree lay
around its bases while for considerable dis
lance around only q barren waste, devoid Of
vegetation, existed.
These stories, of course, are not true, but
illustrate the awe with which the tree was
formerly treated.

cold of the North is dry. Twenty be-
low zero in dry cold is more tolerable
then twenty above zero in the damp
atmosphere of the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts. But these are little things
that can be overcome by the aid of sci
ence and the application of the pio-
neer spirit.
The point is that the Canadian
North, northern British Columbia to
the Northwest Territories, holds more
mineral wealth than North America
has yet produced. There is gold in
the Ominecas that will materially en-
rich the worlds supply. There is sill
yer in the Ingenikas occurring in sol
id, almost pure blocks. In the Peace
river country there is anthracite and
wheat production enough for ten
Americas.
In the Great Bear country there
has been blocked out by hand $25,OO0,-
600 worth of pitchblende containing
radium. Twenty tons of this ore was
brought down in 1881 and it assayed
as high as $4,000 a ton. The extent
of the total deposit cannot even be
guessed.
These are the tales, borne out by
authentic facts and indisputable
proofs, that these explorers are pour

Tut-Ankh-Am Shrines
Placed in Cairo Museum

Cairo-The four magnificent gilt
shrines which inclose the sarcophagus
of Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomb have been
placed in the Antiquities museur,
here.
The innermost shrine has already
been regretted and is on view. 1t is
constructed of solid wood covered
with gesso overlaid with gold leaf,
with sacred figures in gold. The out
side has been restored to its orig
inal brilliance, but it appears that
Tut's artificer cheated his royal mas
ter by using an inferior quality of
gold inside which has now OXidized
and lost color. The shrine is 9 feet
6 inches long and feet high.
Another recent addition to the An
tiquities museum is a unique carica-
ture of the heretical King Akhenaten.
The caricature, showing the king with
beard and whiskers, was found at
Tellel-Amara, suggesting that the
king possibly became mentally de-
ficient and was allowed to end his
days obscurely when the center of
religion and government reverted to
Thebes.

Texas Preserves Relic

The oldest complete structure still
remaining in Texas is the stone fort
at San Pedro Springs. San Antonio.
Plans to preserve it are well adj
vanced. Its construction is placed at
various dates between 1890 and ZIG.
The stone fort formed the southwest
corner of a cedar stockade, burned
by Indians. Defense of the old fort
from attacks of decay has been
spurred on by recent loss of the old
stone market house and the Vera
Iendi palace. Both these old build
ings gave way to the march of in
dustry. The fort is on ground made
