UNCLE RAYS CORNER

There Is an animal in the Dutch
East Indies which has been a puzzle
to scientists. It has a length Of
about 1S inches and on its body is
soft, short fur. Most Of the time it
spends In the trees. It is active at
night, not during the daytime.
Scientists have been puzzled be-
cause this animal does not seem to
have any close relative.
sometimes 1t is called q flying
lenptlr," but the name Of "cobego"
Is preferred. It is not true men,
beH Of the lemur family. Perhaps
the best we can do is to say, "A
coAego is a furry animal, about the
size of a house cat, and 1t has the
power Of gliding through the air."
Cpbegos live in dense forests.
They make noise which sounds like
the low cackling of geese. Their
food is composed mainly Of leaves
and fruit.
The cobego can glide a greater
distance than any other animal
which has fur. 1t has been observed
to glide. from tree trunk to tree
trunk, for distance Of 210 feet.

How Did 1t Sturt?

Macon: What is meant by the
expression Legitimate stage?"-J.
r. M.
Answer: The expression Is old in
show business. 1t first designated
the literary drama, such as Shake
speare's plays, as opposed to the
melodrama or the farce. Later, it
served as q term to distinguish be-
tween any spoken play and musical
comedy or vaudeville, especially the
latter, for In the first days of vaude-
vile, Legitimate" actors held them
selves icily aloof from vaudevillians,
whom they regarded as creatures
Of the music halls, beer gardens and
variety shows"
Despite q spectacular rise in pub
lie favor, vaudeville did not long
endure. But it did give us some of
the most famous theatrical names:

trouble. The little animal I am
thinking Of lives In Australia. It Is
not a true mouse, but Is about the
same size. It has fur like that Of q
mouse. 1t also has nearly the same
shape, except for the skin folds at
the sides which make the wings"
Flying mice" Of Australia live In
trees. They feed chiefly upon leaves,
buds and berries.
The island Of Ceylon and other
lands around the Indian Ocean
have flying foxes" also known a
fruit bats" They are overgrown
bats. Those found in Ceylon have
bodies as much as a foot long and
spread their wings as much As four
or five feet.

A spade opening lead would have
led to an easy set, but west nat
urally opened the four of clubs, and
East took the ace and shifted to
low spade. South took the spade ace
at once and cashed the club king,
discarding dummys losing spade.
Then he led the four OF diamonds,
playing the jack from dummy.
East won with the king of dia-
nonds and looked around for a way
to defeat the contract. 1t looked as
though dummy would be good after
one more round of diamonds. and
South would thus lose only one club
and two diamonds. The only chance
0 shutting out the diamonds lay in
rufnng down the dummy so that
South could not return to dummy
after drawing trumpS.
Acting on that hope, East returned
q low spade after winning the dia-
mond king. Dummy ruffed with the
eeven Of hearts and returned the
deuce of diamonds. East wavered,
fearing that South might have no
more diamonds, but finally put up
the ace and led the king Of spades.
Dummy had to ruff with the nine OF
hearts and now it was impossible for
South to make his contract.
He made a good try by cashing
the heart king and returning the
queen of diamonds. When East fol-
lowed suit, South had to ruff with
the ten of hearts to shut West out.
South could have ruffed his last club
at this point, but could not have re-
turned from dummy without setting
up q trump trick for West. Instead,
South led trump to dummy's ace,
hoping for a 20 break. When trumps
failed to break, South had to lose

Government Tells How
To Sericulture Cocoons

The United States government is
still optimistic about domestic silk
production. Farm Bulletin 165, on
the subject of "Silkworm Culture, I"
by Henrietta Aiken Kelly, states
hopefully that Commercial silk cul-
ture requires a smaller outlay of
capital than almost any other in
dustry. The net gain the first year
may well pay for an outfit that will
last many years. Culture for pro-
duction Of the greatest yield of CO.
coons may be carried on by any
one of ordinary intelligence" The
"outfit" case you want to raise
silkworms-consists of light nova
BILE shelves, newspapers to cover
them, small trays to remove worms,
Knives, baskets, perforated paper
for changing beds, supply of brush
or shavings, and thermometer!
Perhaps it is this government OPP
timism that has led Mrs. Frank j.
Lewis, of Chicago and Palm Beach,
to start the most recent revival Of
the silk industry in this country,
foreseeing a new source of indus
trial wealth for the whole South.
The Lewis silk farm is situated on
800 acres in Palm Beach county,
Florida, irrigated by a cross-state
canal. Thousands of small white
mulberry trees have been planted
there, and as soon as her mulberry
trees are large enough Mrs. Lewis
expects to show the Japanese what
a real country can do with silk
worms.
In the meantime, nylon seems to
be solving the problem of how to
get along without silk AS long as
the supply of coal, air and water
hold out, stockings and parachutes
won't be impossible. In 1893 one
pf the big chemical research COM
oanies announced the development
of textile fibers that could be spun
out at length, surprising in strength
and elasticity any previously known
fibers. There are many different
types of nylon, one of which makes
stockings sheerer than chiffon, and
much longer-lastlng.
A nylon thread is linear super
polymer made up of small mole
cules being joined end to end some
what like a chain of microscopic
paper clips. 1t is made by the re-
action of a dibasic acid derived
from phenol which comes from BIZ
luminous coaD and a diamine, also
made from coal with oxygen and
ammonia. Since ammonia is made
synthetically by causing hydrogen
from water to unite with nitrogen
from the air, it follows that your n.y.
Ion hose are made from coal, air
and water.
But it's going to take an awful
lot of coal, air and water. Ameri-
can women last year bought IS, 000,-
600 dozen pairs of silk hose.

Find $4,000 900
On Oceans Floor
Divers Count $50 Mines in
Hunt for Treasure.

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND
A daring, year-long hunt for sunken
treasure has been completed with
recovery of $40, 600, 900 worth of gold
bullion from the hulk of the sunken
British liner Niagara in mine and
shark infested waters off Auckland.
With the bars of the precious metal
stored away safely in a bank vault,
the full story of the recovery be-
came known.
The treasure hunt was organized
shortly after the Niagara, bound
from New Zealand to Canada, struck
a mine and went down go miles off
Auckland June 10, 1910. But it was
not until February 2, 1941, that the
wreck was located
A Melbourne salvage company
took over the operations under con-
tract to the Commonwealth bank.
Veteran divers were enlisted and
guaranteed a percentage of all the
gold they retrieved. Besides risk
ing their lives, they staked their as
sets on the success of their task.
Some mortgaged their homes. But
today they're in the money"
In diving to the ocean floor they
counted $50 mines. Chief Diver
John tombstone of Melbourne estab-
lished a world record with a 528
foot descent in an observation bell.
The divers found the Niagara ly-
ing on her side. It was necessary
to blast hole through her plates
and cut away the decks to reach
her strong room.
A special explosive of gelignite
with a core of gun cotton was used.
Charges were lowered in a container
slit on one side, which was placed
against the part to be cut away
Altogether 1000 pounds of explosives
were used before the way was
cleared to the strong room and its
gold.
The first of the yellow bars was
brought to the surface last October
Is, the last on December z, the day
\ Japan struck in the Pacific.

WASHINGTON.-The army is set

places by the use of microflm.
In this process, letters to soldiers
are opened and photographed on

letter will be enlarged and deliv-
