Cefs Dividends Out
of Mouse Forming
Californian Sells 20, 900 Ro-
dents IN Year.

MODESTO, CALIF.-Most people
try to get rid Of de mice around
their homes, but not Frank Cook,
Modesto district rancher. Cook O.
tually encourages them, then seIs
them and lives on the profits.
Cook first became Interested IN
mouse farming when hs noticed
the large number Of the tiny rodents
used In scientific research. He d.
cided to capitalize ca the demand
and 60 IN for large-scale raising Of
white mice.
That was in 1894. Today he owns
rather an unusual mouse farm,
which nets him good return.
During the first few years Of his
venture Cook was able to sell about
1000 mice. Now, he says, the de-
mand has grown. Last year he sold
10000, and he predicts he viii top
that record in 1899. Research labo-
ratories are his chief market.
Cook becomes irked when people
tell him his work is easy-that all
he has to do is turn the mice loose
and ''let 'em multiply"
He denies there is anything easy
about the work, pointing out that in
finite care must be taken to keep
his charges in good health. Diet
and housing are the greatest prob
lens.
At first Cook made the roof of
his farm building of straw, but re-
Gently changed to a new method.
Now he has two roofs, with about
two feet Of straw between them for
insulation.
Because the mice are extremely
susceptible to changes in tempera-
ture, Cook now is considering seri-
ously installing an air-conditioning
system-a comfort which his own
home does not have.

Papyrus Read After 116
Years of Expert Study

ROME.-A precious Egyptian pa
pyrus dating back, to 1900 B. c.,
whose meaning experts since 1923
have vainly attempted to decipher,
has been found by an Italian scien-
fist after 10 years of study to consist
of a list of taxes to be levied on
inhabitants of a Lybian desert oasis.
But, Notwithstanding its peculiar
interest to those who were taxed at
the faraway time of its application,
the papyrus is highly treasured.
Experts declare il will shed an
entirely new light on ancient Egyp-
tan history, since it bears the
names Of all the mythical gods, he
roes and kings of ancient Egypt UP
to Menes, first of the Pharaohs, con-
tinuing to the Eighteenth dynasty.
The names appear as an awe-inspir-
ing prologue to the taxes.
First attempts to decipher the pa
pyrus, which was bought by ths
Sandman government in 1928, were
made by Gustav Seyffart, who as
sembled the torn sheets, though he
could not read them, by studying
the texture of the fibers and weave.
\ The papyrus then was examined
by many scholars, but none could
understand it.
Finally Professor Giulio Farina,
an eminent Italian Psychologist,
director, of the Turin Egyptian mu-
scum, began his work on the an
cient scroll in 1928 and after 10
years Of intensive research has been
able to explain its abstruse mean
ing.

Armless Driver Licensed
After Judge Has a Ride

XENIA, OHIO.-Paal E. Layton,
81 years old, born without arms,
was given the right to- drive an
automobile by a Common Pleas
court decision recently.
Judge George H. Smith, who went
for Commute ride with Layton
last month, upheld the young mans
legal right to a drivers license.
Judge Smith found that Layton "op-
crates to all apparent purposes as
skillfully as the average driver"
Layton had appealed to the court
from the State Motor Vehicle bu-
reau's refusal to grant him q driv-
er's license. He learned to drive
six years ago.
The court found that Layton had
overcome his physical handicap
''by cultivating an adeptness with
his feet and body that enables him
TO use these members and supplant
the deficiency occasioned by his
lack Of arms"

Luxurious Jail Saves

Jail is q real money saver In
court costs. John Samuel Chad
derton, arrested on q charge Of
vagrancy, pleaded not guilty,
which would mean that he would
have q jury trial.
However, after passing . few
hours under the pleasant Jail con-
ditions, he found them 50 much
to his liking that he decided TO
plead guilty and stay awhile.
Unfortunately for his hopes, how
ever, the court after accepting
his plea suspended his 90-dsy SEN
tence On condition that he get
out Of town at once.

tance, probably eighty-six light years. It is much bigger star than our sun.
 Andromeda contains one of the most interesting objects in the sky, the Great Nebula, a giant spiral ne- bula which under good observation al conditions is visible to the unaid- ed eye as hay pate hof light. It was observed as such by aStrono- mers before the invention of the telescope and 1t requires large scale photograph to reveal its true natuer. It is now known to be at a distance of about a million light years from us and to occupy vast amount of space, comparable in magnitude to that of the galaxy to which the sun and all the visible stars as well as the Milky Way be- long.
 The Planets
 Mercury will be visible as a morn ing star during the last week of the month, reaching greatest eastern elongation from the sun on the 28th. Ie will then appear as a reddish star low over the easter horizon just before sunrise; its stellar magnitude will be about "zero." Venus is too close to the sun for observation but Mars after its opposition of last month is still a bright reddish star in the southeastern quarter of he sky after sunset. Jupiter. too, is a brigh evening star in the eastern sky, lying north of Mars. It is much brighter than the latter and at tains a stellar magnitude of minus 2.s". It is in excellent position for observation and a small telescope will reveal the four Galiiean moons and the cloud belts of its dense at- mosphere. Saturn rises after mid- night and Is improving it's position for observation. Its rings are now in fairly good position for telescopic bservation.

7he Heauens h August Annual Meteor Shower-Their Origin and Com positon-Bright Planets in the Evening Sky
By DIR. CLEMENT s. BRAININ Of The Columbia University Observatory Staff

It is gradually losing its richness as many of its members fall victims to the earth's atmosphere at each re- turn. It cannot, however, be claim ed that all meteors are remnants of wrecked comets as there Is a strong possibility that some of them have come from distant stellar space and were never a part of any comet at- tached to the solar system.
 The Cancellations
 The great constellation of Pega- sus, the Flying Horse, is now clear of the horizon at map-time. Its three most brilliant stars and the
 brightest of the stars belonging to its northeastern neighbor, Androm- eda, form a square known as the Great Square in Pegasus. Alpha Pe- gasi or Markab was formerly of great importance to mariners as 1t was often used for the determine tion of the ships longitude by a now obsolete method which depended up- on the movement of the moon through the field of fixed stars. Ac- curate clocks or chronometers have enabled the navigator to use a more accurate method depending on ob- servations of the sun. The spectro- scope has shown that Markab is made up of two separate stars, which appear as one to the naked eye because of its tremendous dis
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-07-31

One of the finest of the annual meteor showers, that of the Per- seids, occurs in August. The maxi mum of the display will come about the eleventh and twelfth, though the entire period stretches over considerable number of days both before and after these dates
 Meteors arc more plentiful in the morning hours but many will be seen throughout the night. The shower under present consideration is given the name of Perseids be- cause the point in the sky from which they all seem to come is in the constellation of Perseus, which at map-time is low over the eastern horizon. If the observed paths ot the meteors are plotted on a chart and then extended backward in the direction from which they came, 1t will be found that all the paths pass very close to one another in the above named constellation. This point of apparent origin astrono- mers call the radiant point of the shower. We stress the word appar- ent here because there is, of course, no physical connection whatsoever between the Perseid meteors and the stars of the Perseus group.
 Much misconception exists con- corning meteors and this may un- doubtedly be traced in large part to

Hartford, July 31-State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Dam aher today named Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston to the post of assistant supervisor of train ing and personnel in the Unem- ployment Compensation Division of the Labor Department. The provisional appointment was ef- fective today. Ryan must take 8 merit system examination before receiving a permanent appoint ment.
 A few hours later Danaher, after consulting with the person. mel department, said the appoint ment was as assistant supervisor of training and personnel and, after a second conference, that "it Is being held in abeyance."
 Appar ent confusion existed whether the original appointment should have been made from a list of eligible civil service applicants. Pending return of state personnel director Harry w. Marsh from vacation, 1t was decided to do nothing whatever about the job until an official ruling was pro- cured.
 Ryan, an employe of the Water- bury Democrat, is known through out the state as a political com mentat0r and radio broadcaster.
 In recent campaigns he has been very prominent in Republi- can circles as a member of the publicity committee of the Young Republican club. He distinguished himself by predicting numerous appointments and elections, in- volving state officials.
 He is a brother of Deputy Shcr- if James P. (Taft) Ryan of Thomaston.
