Fungus Found That Traps
and Eats Small Worms

Chapel Hill, N. CA fungus,
sort of fifth cousin to the common
bread mold, that captures and eats
small worms, was recently de-
scribed by DR.. j. N. Couch of the
University of North Carolina. While
insect-eating plants such as the We
nus fly trap and the pitcher plant
are quite well known, animal-catch-
ing fungi are rare.
The fungus grows in a thread
like form. Loops are spaced at in
tervals along the thread. These are
the traps. When a worm sticks it's
head or tail into one of these loops
it contracts, Tightening up on the
worm and holding it fast. At times
a worm may be caught by two of
the loops.
When the worm is firmly held,
small threads grow out from the
main thread. They penetrate the
body of the worm and digest it. DR..
Couch was able to watch the capture
and digestion of the prey.

Even Famous Brains Give
Indications of sInferioritv'

Washington. - Examining hun.
dreds of human brains, famous and
otherwise, Soviet anatomist, Gre
goire Levin of the Bekhterev Insti-
tute for Brain Research in Lenin-
grad, has discovered that supposed
"signs of inferiority" exist in brains
of prominent civilized personalities
just as frequently as in brains of
benighted savages.
His verdict, which deals a blow
to the hope of science to find visible
reasons for inferiority in human
brains, is reported here in the Jour-
nal of Physical Anthropology.
M. Levin checked up on six of the
supposed signs of inferiority, which
are often pointed out in brains of
primitive peoples, or in brains of
mental detectives. He concludes
that no special racial characters
have yet been detected in the
structure of the brain.
"The whole subject" he declares,
demands thoroughly expert and
adequate determination in the flu
ture."

High Rail Speeds
Facing Big Problem
of Safe Stopping
Best of Modern Brakes
Are Not Sufficient

New York.-Top speeds on
railroads have been raised in
the last three years from 80 and
90 miles an hour to 100 and 100
miles an hour. Locomotives
capable of keeping sustained
speeds at the latter figures are
not at hand but present few
technical difficulties. Major
problem that must be solved if
the public is ever to attain this
swiftness in actual travel is
what to do about stopping such
speeding masses of metal.
On applying the most modern
brakes yet developed, train speed
ing 100 miles an hour would have
moved 1900 feet at the end of ten
seconds and would still be travelling
~ miles an hour! 1t will go another
1900 feet before coming to full
stop, or about a half mile in all.
With conventional brakes, as used
widely, the picture is even worse. 1t
would take % seconds to cut the 100
miles an hour speed to u miles an
hour, and 1890 feet in all would be
required to achieve a complete stop.
Solution a Necessity.
All of which makes discussions Of
running trains at such speeds for or
binary passenger and freight traffic
a stable waste of time at present,
unless adequate measures are taken
to govern the train movements in
the faster schedules.
Chief responsibility for gradual
increase in average speed lies in
the train dispatcher's office, where
tighter running schedules must be
watched closely and swifter move
ments ordered so that the crack
trains of the line will not run the
slower ones into sidings too fire.
quently.
A gradual rise in average speed
on schedules is the way the rail-
roads are starting to solve the prob
lem. Already many of the major
railroads have their roadbeds SO i'm
proved that trains are more safe
while travelling at 80 miles an hour
than they were previously at 60.

Big Fish Eat Little Ones

Washington.-The bass or trout

of a long line of complicated de-

foods directly, as COW eats grass
or pig eats corn. They eat
smaller fish and other animal forms
like shrimp and crayfish.
These in turn have eaten still

Ghost Comet Seen
Near Mars Claimed
to Be Real Thing

London.-When reports were
received in April of the discov-
cry of a new comet in the south
ern skies by w. F. Gale, an
Australian astronomer, and
great observatories in Europe
and America were unable to To-
cate it, the assumption was
made that it was a "ghost." 1t
was near the brilliant planet
Mars, and often reflections from
such a bright object, inside the
eyepiece of a telescope, cause
these ghosts, which look like
comets.
The comet was real after all, ac-
cording to a claim in a letter from
Mr.. Gale to DR.. A. c. D. Crom-
melin, published in the Journal of
the British Astronomical Associa-
ton. Mr.. Gale states that he fully
recognized the likelihood of its be-
ing a ghost, and made careful tests
to determine its reality.
Was Best Viewed in Australia.
The telescope, he says, never
showed such ghosts before, and the
comet was seen best when Mars
was completely out of the field. 1t
was observed by several others, and
through other telescopes, over pc
Rod of nearly a month, during which
it moved as comet should.
AS he found the comet to vary
considerably in brightness, it may
be that it happened to be very faint
when the northern observers looked
for it. Also, it was much better
placed for viewing in Australia, for
there it was nearly overhead, while
in Europe and North America it was
low in the south. After the word
was circulated that it could not be
found, and northern astronomers de-
cided that it was a ghost, no fur

Moore Had Police Record.
Moore had a passion for making

from a grocer accused of selling
liquor.
On the night of April S, 1880, four
young men held up roadhouse

Kin Hama, the owner. When Hana's
father-in-law, Matt Cobb, objected,
they gave him vicious beating.

lest thing about this story is that it
is true. 1t happened two years ago,
and since that time John Montague
or LaVerne Moore or "BulP' Moore
depending upon your point of
view has been the most talked-of
man in the golfng world.
John Montague, as the film colo
ny knows him, came to Hollywood
three years ago. His ability to play
golf was astounding. He was
handsome in his burly way. His
manners were delightful He was
chivalrous with women. He appar-
emily had bank roll. He had two
Lincolns and Ford. He could drink
a fifth of Scotch and eight gin fixes
for breakfast and never bat an eye.
Montague Stunned publicity. But
as Greta Carlo proved, one sure
way to get into the limelight is to
try to stay out of it. No one in
Hollywood knew who Montague was,
whence he came or where he de-
rived his income, not even Oliver
Hardy, the rotund comedian with
whom the mystery man lived for a
while. And apparently nobody
cared.
But a man can't do the things
Monty did and remain in oblivion.
His feats of strength were as amaz-
ing as his golf prowess. He held
