Figures Show Convicts
Could Build Own City

Jackson, Wholesome one with
fair for statistics has advanced fig
ures to prove his contention that
the inmates of Michigan state
prison here could establish and
build their own prison city on an
island in Lake Superior.
Among the 1900 prisoners, the
statistician points out, are 13 sailors
who could man the boats transfer
ring the prisoners to the island.
Nine civil engineers, inmates of the
prison, could survey the land. Five
inmate draughtsmen could draw
plans for the island city.
Metal to construct the buildings
could be mined by nine inmate
miners. The 2.91O men laborers
could assist in carrying out the in
structions of q brick masons, 1O6
carpenters. 81 decorators, 124 paint
ers. 10 electricians. u stone cut

With the city completed, the 3SS

farmers. 46 bakers. and 55 butchers
could take the lead in making the
island self-supporting.

CURSE OF KING TUT
DEFlED BY CARTER
Noted Egyptologist Laughs
at Superstition.

London.-Dr. Howard Carter, sole
survivor of that little party which,
led by the late Lord Carnarvon, dis
covered tie tomb of King Tut-Ankh-
Amen, is bacs once more in Egypt,
defying the so-called curse upon all
who dare to disturb the resting
places of the Pharaohs.
The belief that curse rests upon
all those concerned in the Tut
Ankh-Amen excavation continues to
linger, in spite of all the assurance
of archeOlogists and scientists that
1t is quite irrational.
The last death was that of the
Hon. Richard Bethel, son of Lord
Westbury, who was acting as sec
retary to Doctor Carter at the tomb.
This was said to be the thirteenth
fatality associated in one way or
another with the undertaking, be-
ginning with the death of Lord Car
narvon. the principal discoverer of
the tomb, who died following an in
sect bite.
He Is Undisturbed.
Despite these deaths and other
misfortunes, Doctor Carter seemed
not in the least disturbed.
Asked about the progress of Egyp-
tolOgy, he said:
There are masses of treasures
still to be discovered. But, of course,
since the % kings have been ac-
counted for there will be no world
startling discoveries such as that of
Tut-Ankh-Amen."
Mr.. Carter found the tomb after
nine years of patient searching in
the Valley of the Kings. His ex-
cavations finally brought to light the
mummy of the boy king, lying in a
nest of three coffins, the innermost
of which was of pure gold.
There also were discovered hun
dreds of objects entombed with the
mummy, the splendor of the whole
thing being such as to battle de-
scription. Besides priceless jewels
and ornaments, the objects included
inscriptions and drawings which
have proved of incalculable value.
Other Discoveries.
The earl of Carnaryon financed
his exploration of the Theban necrop-
oils, during which Mr.. Carter dis
covered the valley temple of Hat
shepsut, the tomb of Amenhetop /,
the cemetery of the eighteenth dy-
nasty queens. the cliff tomb of
Queen Hatshepsut. and finally the
tomb of King Tut-Ankh-Amen I'm
1922. In the last discovery Car
ter was aided by the Metropolitan
Museum OF Arts of New York.

WHY
Ruminant, Animal That Chews
 Cud, Is So Called.

A ruminant is an animal that chews a cud. Taken together they form :. large classified group (Ruminantia) and embrace the oxen, sheep, goats, antelopes. deer, giraffes, chevrotains, camels and llamas. They agree in a special form of dentition. one feature of which is the absence of front teeth in the upper jaw. The ruminants are so called in reference to the fact that they ''ruminate": that is, after their vegetable food has been hastily swal- lowed. 1t is forced back up the gullet, from the foremost compartment of the four chambered stomach. in DOT lions called "cuds." It Is then thor. oughly mastlcated and reswallowed, this time passing into the digestive part of the complicated stomach. All ruminants have the third and fourth of the instep bones of the feet length. ened and united into cannon-bone, and the toes shod with hoofs. The heads of the males of most of them are provided with paired horns.-Mon- treal Herald.

Why Coats Button Right to Left

In former times when men wore swords on all occasions the weapon was invariably fastened at the left so that it could be drawn from it's scab- bard with quick dispatch. It was ire quently necessary to be quick on the draw, and such emergencies made 1t necessary to place the coat buttons at the right. As the left hand reached to the right to unbutton the coat GOV erlng the sword, the right hand went to the left to draw the weapon. It Is an old practice for woman to hold a baby in the hollow of her left arm. This action engages both the left arm and the hand, so if the right hand is to be free in unbuttoning the woman's garments without disturbing the position Of the chi!d, the garment must be buttoned from right to left.

Why Dogs Are Bob.Tailed

Although many old English sheep dogs are born bob-tailed and when they are born with tails it is custom ary to dock that member to within an inch or two of the root, this is not natural characteristic of the breed. Rather, it Is believed. the tendency to- ward bob tails has resulted from the practice of herders in earlier days of cutting off the tails of their working sheep dogs. It seems that the dogs used for herding were exempt from tax ation and their owners took this meth cd of making it easy to tell them apart from others that did not benefit from this law.

Why Man Sleeps Nights
 Is Answered by Authority

Night time is sleeping time because man has made it habit, a professor of the physiology department of the University of Chicago said in lec- ture before a student class. He backed his contentious with the findings of many experts on the subject.
 If existence were suddenly stretched out into 30 hour cycle in place of the 24 hour cycle man would simply change his routine to adapt himself to the new conditions" said the professor. "Or if the cycle changed to an IS hour day. man would revise his sleeping routine. The world would whirl on as smoothly as be- fore"
 Many animals. he said, go man con- slderably better in sleeping. taking frequent maps during the day. h. fants. however, take frequent daytime maps. he added. but only up to the age of five years. The reason man sleeps night Is because darkness makes 1t convenient, he said.-Chicago Trib- une.

Why Orange Blossom. for Brides

The orange blossom is the symbol of chastity and fecundity. Not only is the orange tree an evergreen, but 1t is said to be the only tree which produces fruit and flowers at the same time. The custom of entwining orange blossoms in bridal wreaths is of com paratively recent date in Europe and in America. It came to this country from the French, who in turn have derived the custom from Spain. In the latter country the custom is traced to the MOors.

Some Pertinent Facts Relating To Bimetallism.
 By William A. Hesse. Fifth In3tallment )

{ Fifth In3tallment )
 Just listen to what Sir Guil- ford Molesworth, delegate of British India to the Brussels Monetary Conference, had to say:
 "Now this state of things was clearly predicted by Ernest Seyd in 1871 when the sever- ence of the link between gold and silver was first contemplat- ed. His prediction has been so remarkably fulfilled that l must quote his words. It is a great mistake to suppose that the adoption of a gold valu- ation by other states besides England will be beneficial It will only lead to the destruct- ion of the monetary equilibri- um hitherto existing, and a de- cline in prosperity all over the world.
 |" The strong doctrinarian- ism in England as regards the gold valuation is so blind that when the time of the depress- ion sets in there will be this special feature: the economic authorities of the country S;ll refuse to listen to the cause h ere foreshadowed; every possible attempt will be made to prove that the decline of commerce is due to all sorts of causes and irrecincilable mat ters; the workingman and his strikes will be the first conven- tent target; then speculation and overtrading will have their turn. Many other ale gations will be made, totally ir- relevant to the real issue, but satisfactory to the moralizing tendency of the financial writ ers.'
 "In fulfillment of this pre- diction we find that the diff culties under which we labor have been attributed to all sorts of irreconcilable causes TT HAS BEEN NECESSARY /, T o INVENT A THEORY THAT PROGRESS IN MANU- FACTURE, I M P R O V E II TRANSPORT, INVENTIONS, A N D BANKING H A V E
