Penguins Practically Helpless

PengulnS are so aquatic they are
practically helpless on land. The
wings are too small for support and
are best described as fippers. Cow
cred with tiny scale-like feathers,
they use them to propel them
through and beneath the water and
when we say they fly under water
we are not exaggerating, for it is
possible for them to outswim even
fish, says a writer in the Los An
geles Times. They pick out the most
isolated islands in the Antarctic where
they are safe from attack, return
ing each season to the same spots.
Sociable, easily tanned, they stay
in clans. There are several vari-
cites, varying mainly in color and
size and style Of beak. Some have
the ability to jump or leap as much
as three to four feet out of the water
to land on an ice-fioe or rock.

Regulation of Speed Is
Found to Date to 1878

Speed regulations in America date
back, not to the advent of the motor

lie indignation.
The first vehicle weight law
seemed to have been a brain child
Of Napoleon Bonaparte, for on May
10, 1902, he proclaimed a law which
fixed precedent later followed in
connection with commercial We
hicles. It specified, notes writer
in the New York Herald Tribune,
that wagons fused for traction and
commerce" be limited to four and
one-haH tons If they had four
wheels, and two and one-haf tons
if only two wheels. Physics being
the unchanging science it is, it was
recognized even in that distant day
that the more points over which a
load was spread the less damage
the vehicle would do to the high
way. Commercial vehicles may
have six or eight wheels but the
principle set forth by the Little
Corporal still governs them.
BY 1929 the seemingly ultra-mod-
ern problem, the overloaded COM
mercial vehicle, had risen to vex
and almost vanquish the king of the
Netherlands. But the king was not
going to have his subjects roads
: ruined just to accommodate the SELF
ishness of a commercial trucker.
So he ordered his officers to check
the weight of stage coaches and
draught vehicles once a month and
if any were found overweight, the
owner might go on Jail ration if he
couldn't pay his fine.

Mysterious silva just an
Oasis In Libvan Desert

The inhabitants of silva, a mys<
terious oasis in the Libyan desert,
whose beehive dwellings, built of
mud bricks, rock salt and stone,
and from which ancient temples
rise, tier on tier, sometimes reach
ing a height of almost 200 feet, first
came under Egyptian influence in
1000 B. c. The diety, Jupiter Anon,
whose predictions were here re-
vealed to the suppliant by the
priests of the innermost shrine was
a god of oracles. Kings and queens
gladly sought his favor.
Alexander the Great, hearing that
kings in Egypt were considered di-
vine, besought the oracle at silva in
331 B. c.. to defy him. He could
then by divine right, as son of Zeus,
impose his tyrannies on his SUBJ
jects. With deep mystery the cere-
mony was carried out in the temple
by the priests and Alexander was
decorated with the horns of a ram,
the sign of Anon the ram-headed,
and was invested as Pharaoh. He
returned to Egypt stamped as the
authentic son Of Zeus. Cleopatra
personally sought guidance from the
oracle concerning the entangled af-
fairs of her heart and state. She
came to silva from Rome after the
murder of Julius Caesar, seeking an
omen of divine aid.
The temple is in ruins, but walls
still reveal the bright blue pigments
seen in relief work on the monu-
ments of Egypt.
The high, honey-combed, mud
walled town of silva is Like a fairy
castle, built on two great rocks in
the center of the oasis.
Instead of spreading out their
town, the Swans have built one
house on top of another, and this
has been kept up until they reach
a dizzy height. 1t is quite custom.

The Draconian laws in ancient
Greece are noteworthy primarily
for their cruelty. The death penalty
was attached to almost all crimes,
even the petty ones. This code of
Draco is said to have made the first
legal distinction between voluntary
and involuntary homicide and to
have made murderer liable to pun
ishment by the state. Theft was
made punishable by death and debt
exposed man to the danger of
slavery. The 81 ephetae or special
judges were probably Draco's crea-
ton.
