Bird Mystery Sifted.
BY NORMAN MARSH

Scientists at Wanganui, New Zea-
land, have 5000 bones at their dis
posal to aid them in solving the
mystery of the moa, giant bird that
once roamed the island. Most Of the
bones had to be hoisted by an engine
and derrick from 21 to 26 feet Of
LIQUID mud. The New Zealand gov
ernment has offered $4,000 toward
further excavations. From the bones
available 10 moa skeletons have been
assembled. The scientists are trying
to find out why so many r1oas perished
in one place, and why their bones
should be so numerous in one swaInpy
spring and 50 scarce elsewhere.

SYNOPSIS

Jim Fielding, one of the "lost genera.
ton who had left college in the depres-
sion and is unable to find a job, arrives
at Glendale to visit his friends, the Mac
Phersons. Mac had formerly been gar
dener at his late uncle's estate and now
works for T. H. Vaughn of Meadow
brook" Jim is tired of being supported
by his married sister, Kay. While he
still can marry Lenore. an attractive
divorcee who is in love with him, and
have an easy life because of her wealth,
his mind rebels. Stopping at the village
drug store for a sandwich, he meets
Dolly, pretty soda fountain girl. When
he inquiries about the Vaughns, she asks
if he is a friend of "Cecily's." She also
entrusts a message to Tommy, young
son of the family and tells him how to
reach the Vaughn's estate. Approaching
the house, Jim encounters tomboylsh
little girl, fishing. She is startled and
falls in the brook. He learns that she
is Susan Vaughn. He discovers Cecily
is her older sister. He sees Tommy,
youth of eighteen who imagines he is IN

Jim that Mr.. Vaughn is recovering from

ChameleOns

The change of color in chameleons
and certain frogs is very interest
ing phenomenon in nature. Many
complicated factors enter into these
color changes, but in general, they
are caused by the expansion and
contraction of the pigment cells
in the superficial layers of the
skin. The cells are linked up with
the sympathetic and central nervous
system by means of nerve fibers,
and they all act in harmony as the
result of a common stimulus, which
may be due to moisture, light, or
temperature conditions, cerebral ex-
citement, food, or tie creatures

roundings acting through its eyes.

the task she was setting for him.
But why do you ask me to make

Who else could I ask? Parker,

Besides, she continued rapidly, ''if

Nature Supplies Power
and Ice From Volcanoes

Sometimes Nature supplies power
for nothing. The people of Larder-
clio, in the Province of Pisa, Italy,
live at the foot of an active volcano.
Every unit of heat, power, and
light used in the town is obtained
from its fiery interior, thus saving
the citizens endless expense and
taxation. In addition, commercial
borax is obtained from "blow
holes" in the hillside, relates writ
er in London Answers Magazine.
The people of Syria, Austria, live
beside another kindly mountain.
This is Der Erzberg," the Iron
Mountain, which is 5000 feet high
and contains about 300,000,0 900 tons
of iron ore-fifty per cent of its vol
ume.
There is another iron mountain in
SWeden-Kiirunavaara-which is g.
455 feet high and contains more
high-grade iron than any other
equal area on earth, for seventy
per cent is pure iron.
Needless to say, both these noun
tains have been exploited by the
communities who live in the vicin-
ity.
Nature has also her own gas
works. Medicine Hat, in Alberta,
has for years obtained gas and light
from inexhaustible subterranean
generating stations. There are a

in one layer in baking pan and

occasionally that they may color

using. This little precaution pre-

CHAPTER V-COntinued

His eyes turned from Ceclly to
her companion. Jeremy Clyde was
a dark romantic-looking young man
with beautiful profile and hair
ripple too wavy. He was slight
but well-built and not much taller
than Cecily. He didn't look "artis-
tic" He was Immediately dressed
in clothes conventional in material
and cut. But he did look pretty"
somehow, and, somehow, again,
well aware of the fact.
The orchestra made preliminary
sounds. In a moment the melody
of waltz foated out into the night.
Jim remained seated at the table,
his eyes, almost without his knowl-
edge and certainly without his full
consent, fixed upon the stall in
which Cecily sat with Jeremy
Clyde. Presently they rose, pushed
back their chairs, walked out upon
the floor.
They danced we'll together, silent,
perfectly synchronized, absorbed in
the music and in each other. Jim
watched them, held in a curious
suspense, as Cecily and her partner
approached the end of the floor
Would she see him, speak to him?
1t may have been the intensity
with which he watched them that
attracted her attention. 1t may
have been that she had seen him
previously and knew where he was
sitting. AT any rate, as her part
ner turned her rhythmically at the
end of the floor, Cecily looked di-
rectly at Jim, smiled and lifted her
hand in an almost imperceptible
gesture. Jim returned the saluta-
ton.
A sharp exclamation came from
Dolly. When he looked at her Jim
saw that her eyes were glittering.
Did you see that?" she asked.
See what?" Jim shook himself
out ot mild sort of daze.

snapped open a vanity case with a
