Brains Sailor
Taylor was not much of sea-
going sailor, for the navy would
not waste his designing abilities
by sending him to sea. He was
brains sailor" from the time
he entered Annapolis in 1881,
after completing a college course
at neutrality-suspicious., where he
enrolled at the age of Is.
Fresh out of Annapolis, from
which he was graduated with a
scholastic record exceeding all
previous records, he was sent to
the Royal Naval College in En-
gland for post graduate work in
naval architecture. There again
he received highest honors. The
lad seemed to have that some
thing extra.
Back in the U. S, he helped
design the first three battleships
the navy ever had. They were the
Indiana, Massachusetts and Ore
gon. They all sailed with bones
in their teeth in the old style.
The bulbous-bow came % years
later.
Admiral Taylor was chief of
construction during the World
war when we built more than a
thousand vessels, from the mos
quito fleet to first line battloships.
In that period he put d million
odd tons of fighting power on the
waves. Our newest ships-in-
Guiding the $4,000 ton monsters
not yet begun-will be Taylor
made.
Now about rs, Taylor has been
in a hospital for several years,
victim Of a stroke. Naval men
expect him to get up soon to see
a huge naval experiment station
on the Potomac dedicated in his
honor.

CRICKETS HIDE,
SCIENCE SEEKS
1ny Assoclated Pressl

MY <hSSDCsa&tNo ANSSy
MILES CITY, Mont, Nov. Is.
What happens to Mormon
crickets when they disappear?
Science doesn't know but
would like to find out. Since
1888 crickets have plagued the
countryside near here and
throughout most of southeastern
Montana and northeastern
Wyoming.
There were millions of them.
Early this spring they appeared
in great numbers in most parts
of the area they long had in
tested.
But by mid-season they had
disappeared almost entirely,
says N. A. Jacobsen, Custer and
Powder River county agent.
There were practically none of
them by late summer.
"And yet no dead crickets were
found and there were no reports
of the crickets appearing in other
areas" said Jacobsen.
Science has records showing
that crickets have the habit of
disappearing mysteriously, but
scientists tell me they are as
mystified as I am.

.STUFFY? CHARGE IT
Positive Particles To Blame
UP TO ELECTRICITY
(By Associated Pressl


NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Elec-
tricity is the explanation of the
feeling of suffocation in badly
ventilated, crowded rooms.
This is the report of Prof. DR..
A. L. Tchijevsky, of Moscow, to
the International Congress of BIZ
ophysics, Biocosmics and Bloc
racy. The electricity is due to
charged particles of air.
Air always contains many
charged particles, called ions,
some of them positive, others
negative Prof. Tchijevsky found,
however, that when breath is ex-
hailed, there is a large increase in
the number of charged particles.
The increase is almost wholly
in positive particles. This is
equivalent to exhaling a little
positive electricity into the air.
In laboratory experiments,
Prof. Tchijevsky says, he has
proved that these positive cleo
trical particles slow down the
exchange" of gases in the lungs.
Exchange means taking up oxy-
gen from the air and giving off
carbon dioXide from the lungs.
Consequently, in the crowded
room, the lungs have to work a
little harder, not because of lack
Of oxygen in the air, but due to
The positive electricity.
As a further demonstration of
this, Prof. TchijevSky expert
mented with air containing an
excess of negative electrical
particles and found that this kind
Of electricity speeds up the
breathing exchange.

AMERICANA
Story Of Old Long Dog
And A Buggy Ride
thy Associated I'ressI

PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 16.-Scat-
tered parts of an expensive
hearse lie whitening on the
South Dakota prairie today as
testimony for a story of frontier
days when Cowboys and In
dians" was a he-man game.
G.. E. Lennon, pioneer ranch
er, recorded the yarn in his mem
oirs.
When Sitting Bull went on the
warpath in the late '70's, the War
department confiscated hundreds
of Indian ponies to prevent other
Sioux bands from joining the
outlaws. Old Long Dog was one
Indian who lost many ponies.
The war scare past, and Sitting
Bull arrested, the government in
1881 paid Old Long Dog for his
lost horses.
He came to Pierre to buy an
elaborate carriage to transport
his large family across the wastes
west of the Missouri river
The carriage dealer showed
him everything in stock. A hearse
with fancy trimmings took the
Indians eye. Old Long Dog
bought it for $500.
At the clothing store he picked
up a stove-pipe hat and a new
suit of clothes, cut in the latest
New York fashion. He packed his
family into the hearse and
whipped his team out of town.
At the ranch, many hours
away, he opened the hearse door
His family was nearly suffocated
Old Long Dog and company
abandoned the hearse.
Passing white men picked of
the wheels, the tongue, bits Of
hardware and the plush lining
until only the skeleton was left
Today some pieces remain.
