vealed Frank Skotnicki fumbling
after being hit hard, wrenching free
from two tacklers, and being hit
again in the fourth period. Mr..
Dobson commented on that, too. He
recalled Joe Murphy being charged
with the miscue. That can be
blamed on Maryland's spotter who
called the play in the press box.
The camera showed good blocking
and bad-scenes where one mans
presence meant a sizeable gain, and
another's absence meant an equally
sizeable loss of territory. It also
proved an of side penalty, which
gave Florida a first down deep in
Maryland's area and breathed new
life into a goalward march, should
not have been called. The player,
Ralph Albarno, was of-side before
the play started, but scrambled back
before the ball was snapped. Florida
punted on the play, but the 5-yard
penalty gave it four more downs to
try its running game-and it worked.
Twice Terp nnemen tore gashes in
the Gator line large enough to drive
cow through only to have the ball
carrier either trip, or run blindly in
the wrong direction. And it was q
couple Of mistakes like that-plus
the Skotnicki tumble, that meant
the difference between q 14-0 defeat
and at least scoreless tie, because
the actual difference between the
two teams was negligible.

Copernican System Of Astronomy

Copernicus, whose Polish name
was Nikolaus Koppernigk, was born
at Thurn, Prussian Poland, in 1873.
He studied astronomy at the Univer-
sity Of Krakow, then spent a num-
Der Of years in Italy, studying medi-
cine and canon law. About 1900 he
lectured in Rome on mathematics
and astronomy, then in 1912 he set
tied in Frauenberg, East Prussia,
where he entered holy orders and
became canon Of the cathedral. He
is said to have been devoted to the
performance Of his duties and to
have practiced medicine, giving his
services free to the poor, but it was
his discovery Of the Copernican sys-
tenn Of astronomy that made him
famous after his death. His great
work was probably completed in
1880 but was not published until
1543 when he lay dying. Dedicated
to the pope, it described the sun as
the center Of a great system, with
the earth one Of the planets revolv-
ing about it. Modern astronomy was
built on the foundation laid down
by Copernicus.

The Early Americans

from data accumulated, archeol-
ogists are of the opinion that, long
ages ago, the Americas were at
least partly populated by a race of
Caucasian stock that came from
Polynesia and other parts Of south
eastern Asia and found its way to
the western coast Of South America
by way Of the Caroline islands and
Easter island. The sun circles and
dolmens built by these white men in
Peru closely resemble prehistoric
examples in central Asia, Europe
and England. The hair of the oldest
mummies left by their descendants
is yellow and red and very fine
much different from that Of the Az
tees and other early inhabitants. It
is also known that they used iron
tools and were highly skilled in
masonry, using building methods
and architectural design found in
Asia and Europe.

Seychelle Islands Land
OF the forbidden Fruit

In the Indian ocean, 900 miles
east of the coast of Africa, lie the
Seychelle islands, so far off the beat
en- track that mail steamers are a
novelty, notes a writer in the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. There are 60 is
lands in this remote group, and al
though they were not discovered
until the Sixteenth century they
seem to enjoy many Of the ameni-
ties of modern civilization. They
are believed to be the remains OF
an ancient continent that once
stretched from India across to AZ
RIGA.
One man Of deep religious faith
firmly believed the Seychelles to be
the site of the Garden Of Eden. Lo-
cal tradition supports this claim.
Here grows the palm tree that bears
the coco-de-mer - the Forbidden
Fruit Of the Bible.
In and about Port Victoria may
be seen the huge dragons blood
trees, about 80 feet in height, with
long, pendulous branches, bright
with sprays of fragrant yellow bios
SONS. The tree gets its name from
the fact that when the bark is
scraped it exudes a deep red sap,
and the tree looks as if bleeding.
Many varieties Of birds are to be
found in the Seychelles. The most
interesting is the myna, about the
size Of a blackbird. 1t has curious
futtering flight, something like that
Of a butterfly being blown about in
the wind. There are many small
sea-gulls. One kind lays its eggs,
without any nest, on the bare branch
Of tree. The shell holds form Of
glue which holds the egg to the
tree until the sun matches it.
The planters are light Creoles, de-
scendants Of French colonials from
Mauritius, far to the south Of the
Seychelles. The islands are Brit
ish, but the language is French.
The Negroes are descendants Of
slaves rescued by British cruisers
putting down the slave trade on the
African coast.

Many Male Birds Attend
To the Domestic Duties

The females of most wild crea-
lures attend to the rearing Of the
young. With some birds the duty Of
attending to them falls entirely upon
the mothers, the males taking no
further interest in domestic duties
after the eggs are laid. But there
is one notable exception, for the
whole Of the incubation Of the eggs
and rearing the young falls to the
lot Of the male red-necked phala-
rope. according to Oliver G. Pike,
F. z. S., in London Tit-Bits maya
zine.
The males of warblers and f1nches
and most birds of prey do their
share of feeding the young, and they
take turns on the eggs. In the past
the handsome mallard drake de-
serted his mate directly the nest
was made, but in recent years there
have been many instances Of the
males remaining with their mates
to help look after the young.
In other branches Of nature there
are remarkable instances Of the
males taking over the whole Of the
domestic duties. In Chile, q crea-
ture known as Darwin's frog takes
charge Of the eggs directly they are
laid by the female. He transfers
them to a pouch in his gullet a
special cavity which appears to
have been made for this purpose,
and here the eggs remain until the
frogs appear. With most species the
young 60 through several stages,
appearing first as tadpoles, but with
Darwin's frog the babies. when
ready, hop out Of their parents

The grasshopper control program
in Stearns county is well underway
in a number of areas, according to
the county extension office at st.
Cloud. During the past week a car
load of bran was shipped into the
country and the entire quantity
was distributed to a number of
townships. At the same time a
large quantity Of the liquid sod
ium arsenite poison was given out
to these same townships. Under
the control program being carried
out, mixing stations are being set
up in each OF the townships where
a sufficient quantity of hoppers ex-
list and 1t is from these mixing
stations that individuals can re-
ceive the mixed bait for distribu-
ton to farms. All folks having any
quantities of grasshoppers are urg-
ed to make application Of the poi
son bait and should Immediately
contact their township officers re-
lative to the location of the mixing
station in their township and as to
the quantity Of poison bait material
needed for their farm. To make the
grasshopper control program eff
fective it is necessary that all folks
that have an infestation on their
farms carry out the recommended
control measures and this should
be done now or in the very near
future when the hoppers are still
small and have not begun to move
very far from their Matching areas
Newly cut alfalfa and other hay
fields offer splendid opportunity
for the carrying out Of control
measures. Only a limited amount
of vegetation remains and hoppers
will be in a condition so they will
want to take on poison bait mater
inal. If they are not poisoned at
that time they will probably move
into other crops such as small
grain and corn and do a large
amount CT damage in such fields.
Ample quantities of material are
on hand in the county to take care
of the hopper situation as it exists
at the present time. The coopera-
ton of all the farmers with an in
festation is necessary to carry cut
an effective program.

$4,000 AIRPLANES-

$4,000 AIRPLANES-
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker,
ranking American ace in the
World War, suggests, in a recent
article in Golfers, the construc-
ton of $4,000 airplanes as one Of
the solutions of this country's de-
Tense problem.
He does not suggest military
planes, but good, fast work horses
Of the air." convertible to some
military use. The building of them
would guarantee the maintenance
Of the industry's factories; the fly
ing Of them would mean training
for thousands of pilots and me-
chanics, and a new era in trans
portation.
I'm the long rum" he continues,
"such a realistic prospect Of air de-
Tense, domestic and trans-oceanic,
should be, of course, backed up by
the conservation Of those supplies
vitality needed for manufacturing
airplanes. We are on the right track
in EMBRACING scrap metal, in build
ing up supplies of rubber, tin, mic
KEEL and the other alloys Of steel.
I'VE should certainly not monkey
with the tariff, SO as to let in for
eign copper and other metals, even
for reciprocal advantages which
might have the tendency of shut
ting down small mines that would
be Of tremendous value in time Of
war. We should repair, as far as
reasonably possible, any damages
such a plan might do to the traffic
now carried by the railroads"
Sound advice, it seems to us,
from one Of Americas most able
and patriotic experts.

Coffee Plantations Are
Operated by Hand Power

Coffee plantations are interesting
places. especially to Americans who
are accustomed to seeing only
American-style production Of ordi-
nary agricultural crops.
Coffee seeds are thickly sown in
carefully prepared beds. The seeds
sprout in about 40 days, showing
two small leaves.
The plants then are transferred to
the nursery plots in rows about a
foot apart During two years in the
nursery the plants grow about two
feet Then they are ready for trans
planting into holes as described
above.
When the roots take hold firmly
in their new location, the young
trees are bent over and clamped to
the ground by forked pins. This
breaks the skin or bark some eight
or ten inches from the ground.
From these breaks many little
sprouts shoot upward. As soon as
the healthy ones can be distin-
guished, they are pruned down to
four. This process makes for bushy
trees.
About i've years later. writes
Capt M. M. Corpening, Guatemala
City correspondent in the Chicago
Tribune. the trees are ready to pro-
duce. In the meantime the soil must
be kept clean and the shade trees

grown coffee tree Is about eight feet

AL soil maintenance Is by hand
with hoes and machetes. Flows are
taboo because they aid soil erosion.
The coffee bean when ripe is red,

diameter. The trees resemble cher.
~ trees in good seasons.
The berries are hand picked by
men with baskets strapped around
their waists. This phase is piece
work, at so much per 100 pounds
picked. The harvest begins in No
vember and lasts through to Febru-
airy. There is one crop per year.
