Loss of Work Shown
Increased by Strikes

NEW YORK tP).-More than 90
100000 man-days of work were lost
through strikes occurring in the first
nine months of 1884, figures made
public by the National Industrial Con-
ference Board show.
Through this period an average of
2,320,894 man-days of work were lost
each month in industrial conflicts, an
increase of 121 per cent over the same
period in 1888. when an average of
1,050,693 man-days were lost month.
Additional information contained in
the boards report shows that in this
period 1,197, 1874 employees went out
on strike, compared with 696,089 for
the same period in 1888.
The highest number Of man-days
lost during the nine months period
was in September. when the total
reached 8,133,859, and the greatest
number of disputes occurred in May,
when 1872 strikes drew 155,7l4 work.
men from their benches.
The conference board also observed
that in the latter part OF 1888 and the
early part Of 1884 strikes were usually
single company affairs, but that later
in the year the trend was toward labor
disturbances affecting large numbers
Of workers. This trend eliminated in
the industry-wide textile strike.

Death Ends Long Quest
To Prove Earth "Flat''

MIDSOMER NORTON, England,
R.-A 50-year quest for data to
prove that the earth Is "flat"-a
saucer-shaped disc with the sun mov-
ing north and south across it-has
ended with the death here of the
theorist, William Edgell, 73.
As a young man, Edgell stood at the
bedside of his dying father and took
an oath to devote his life to the
strange theory in which they both be-
ieved.
He also claimed the pole star was
only 5000 miles away and that the
sun was a mere 10 miles in diameter.
Edgell labored increasingly at his
self-appointed task. convinced to the
last that he was right-although his
half century of experiments never re-
vealed any scientific facts to bear out
his credo.
In order to study the night skies, he
even went to bed sitting up in a chair.

Suicidal Stampedes
Of Lemming Awaited

STOCKHOLM CP).-New demons
trations of the most unusual animal
migrations in the world-the pointless
suicidal stampedes of the lemming-
are being awaited in the mountain
districts to the North of Sweden.
The lemming, the small Arctic
rodent with short tail and furry feet,
periodically assemble by thousands
and have moving day on a large
scale.
A stampede of the lemming started
in Northern Siberia recently and was
of such intensity that q small Arctic
colony was forced to send out a
radio s o s. Airplanes were sent
to remove the colonists.
The Siberian stampede is regarded
as the largest ever to occur in that
territory. It brought destruction of
the grain supplies in the Mare Sale
Colony.
Once assembled, the lemming have
one aim, to proceed always in a
straight line, no matter what obstacles
appear ahead. They swim rivers, cross
mountain tops, traverse valleys and
never deviate. The motivation Is mys-
terious since the expedition has moth
ing to do with hunger or climatic con-
ditionS.
The pilgrimages come to an end
when the rodents reach the Arctic
Ocean and drown.

Italy Is in dire need of money; last
year she had to send the equivalent
in gold Of more than 1,700,000,00C
francs to the Bank of France to re-
pay to the latter for sums spent in
maintaining the lira upon the ex-
change market. However, it is not
true that a loan was promised Mus

Duce would not accept it, as he would
be afraid lest financial pressure from
the outside might be brought to bear
upon his diplomacy.
AS to the Danubian problem, the

by France and Italy do not go very
far; a joint recommendation forward

It is true that in the confidential,

of Hungarian revisionism. But it re.

The foreign ministers of the Little
