Two Remarkable Rich
Yarns Put In Discard j
The curoer of the 30-inch carp |
recently purchased by the London 1
zoo will be watched with interest, i
with a view to finding out the truth
of some remarkable fish stories told 1
by the older zoologists about long- 1
lived specimens. The zoo’s new in
habitant has been bred in captivity i
and is known to bo thirty years
old.
Carp and pike, according to the
Manchester Guardian, are the spe
cies particularly mentioned in these
Old writings, and if this latest spe
cimen equals a record given by
BufTon, its funeral will be con
ducted about the year 2010.
Certain carp in the ponds of Fon
tainebleau were reputed to be any
thing up to 200 years old and had
become white with age.
The doyen of all the finny tribes,
however, was a pike, 17 feet long,
whose remains were preserved until
recently at Mannheim. It was cap
tured, so the records say, in the
year 1407, when within it was found
a ring showing that it had original
ly been put into the water 2G7 years
before.
But modem science is no respec
ter of tradition. One expert in
vestigated the Mannheim pike, and
found it a pains-taking erection
made up from the bones of innu
merable small fish; while some one
else tackled the Fontainebleau carp
and showed them to be a lot of
hoary impostors, their venerable ap
pearance being due to a fungu3 on
their scales.
Thus passed two more fish stories.
Result of Scientific
Study of Butterfly
Intimate details from the private
life of butterflies are revealed by
Dr. John II. Oerould, professor of
zoology of Dartmouth college, in
the Quarterly Review of Biology. :
Each live butterfly has its personal-
ity and customs according to its
family and species, lie asserts, the
instincts of each clan differing wide
ly. “The butterfly differs, more
over, from other representatives of
its own species and even its own
brothers and sisters, in vigor, Ion- j
gevity, fondness of the other sex and j
of its food, its response to light
and shade,” explains the entimolo- j
gist. Doctor Gerould raises butter- ;
flies from the egg in greenhouses
and keeps them under observation j
through all the stages of their de- i
velopment. JTe has made a careful I
study of their habits and the effect 1
of selective breeding and different
types of food on the changes in
color of the gaudy-winged insects.
One of their most interesting tricks
is the tendency to “play possum”
like many of the higher animals by
feigning death when alarmed. The
well-known gregarious habit of both
caterpillars and butterflies to herd
together in groups and colonies,
Doctor Gerould believes, may per
haps he due to some attraction that
has to do with the sense of smell.

“Jersey Lily” Set New
Styles for Americans
Feminine styles in Now York
were changed overnight in 1882,
when Lady do Bathe, then Lily
Langtry, who recently defended her
self and the late W. E. Gladstone,
British statesman, from slanderous
tongues, arrived in New York to
fill a theatrical engagement.
Within forty-eight hours of her
arrival Now York was paying trib
ute to the English actress. She was
then thirty years old and in the
full bloom of her physical loveli
ness. Her pictures were everywhere
and wild demonstrations greeted
her appearances in public. Men and
women struggled for the privilege
of following her through the streets.
Her coiffure was copied immediate
ly, her mode of dressing the hair be
ing a single heavy plait half way
down the neck, set off by bangs,
shortened and curled.
She affected the utmost simplicity
In nppnrol, though she was the
smartest dressed womnn of the age.
The plain basque, tight fitting with
its double row of buttons a la mili-
tairo, was not long in making it
appearance. Girls, matrons and
dowagers drove dressmakers nearly
frantic with their orders for Lang
try coats and gowns. Shop windows
of the leading milliners featured
the “Langtry toque.”—Kansas City

Motor Busses in Desert
Modern motor busses, equipped
with endless treads and with a ca
pacity of many persons, are appear
ing in 'Africa for travel across some
of the routes bordering on the Sa
hara desert, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. They arc supplementing
the camel and have become popular
with the natives. For long jour
neys into the interior camels are
still widely used. A “bussoura,” or
tentlike basket covered with colored
cloth and silk trimming, in case the
owner can afford such decorations,
is securely fastened to the camel’s
back and has compartments for two
persons.
Learned His Status
In order to know just how he
stood in'his company, Victor F. Cos-
grave, as secretary of the Automo
bile Laundries, Ltd., of Melbourne,
Australia, wrote and mailed a letter
to himself as liquidator of the con
cern. When ho did not receive the
epistle, he asked the court to find
out why. Ho learned, that he was
ineligible for the office in the vol
untary windup of the organization,
and had to permit another to serve.
Problem Partly Solved
The idea of floating an entire air
plane beneath a giant parachute is
not new. The French attempted
work along similar lines during the
war, but it has been given up be
cause of the problem of installation.
The same problem puzzled others in
this country, and many rather un
successful attempts were discarded
as impossible until Harry Doucett
in San Diego, Calif., in August,
1926, made a successful descent in
a parachute of his own invention.
Lineman Saved Life
of Neighborhood Pet
“Lineman saves comrade’s life by
resuscitation” is a common line in
the news of the day but “lineman
brings suffocated dog back to life”
is unusual. Yet W. P. Ward did
just that in Girard, Ohio, ono day
late in March. lie was passing
Dr. Fred McLean’s houBe on Broad
way. Firemen had just finished ex
tinguishing a blaze that had filled
the cellar with smoke and fumes
and trapped Muggsy-—a jolly little
bulldog known by everybody on the
street. The dog lay limp and
"dead” in the- midst of a mourning
neighborhood group* The lineman,
like nearly all employees of electric
! service companies, thoroughly un-
| derstood how to revive a drowned
J or suffocated human by the prone
pressure method. lie decided that
if it would save a man it would
save a dog. So he turned the dog
on its stomach, knelt over it and
began compressing and rcleasjng
its rib cage, making the lungs
pump a little air in and out. In
I half nn hour Muggsy gasped and
got unsteadily to his feet——saved
by a “safetv lineman.”
Ornamental Armor in
the Sixteenth Century
The balloon sleeves that were the
last word in feminine finery in the
leg-of-mutton era when mother was
a girl, have nothing on a pair of
huge, pulled, engraved and gilded
sleeves of armor recently acquired
by the Metropolitan Museum of
Art, of New York. The evolution
of medieval armor followed along
lines comparable to that followed
by some prehistoric monsters who
developed horns, teeth and fins to
the point where ungainliness super
seded usefulness, according to
Bashford Dean, curator of armor of
the museum. During the first half
of the Sixteenth century, armor had
begun to follow the outlines of the
current fads of fashion. Clothes
wero no more designed to fit under
the armor, but the armor was made
to fit the clothes. Foppish prince
lings and affluent nobles insisted
that armorers hammer out hard
ware to surround their immense
sleeves and abbreviated oxford bags,
he explained. The newly acquired
pieces are thought to have come
originally from the Radzivil family,
nn ancient line of princes that held
land near the frontier of Roland
and Russia, and date back to around
1525. This opinion is strengthened
in Air. Dean’s estimation by their
resemblance to a richly engraved
backplate from the same source,
whose fine workmanship boars a
close resemblance to the etching on
the sleeves.

Cardui Starts Missouri
Lady On Road To
Health Again.
Mrs. T. G. Harris, of
Clarksburg, Mo., writes:
‘‘For two years, I was
In very poor health, almost
past going, so woak and
run-down. I tried to mako
the most of what little
strength I had left, but
I could find nothing to
start me on the road to
health again until, one day,
I decided to try Cardul.
“I took Cardul for sev
eral months and was very
much gratified with the
results. I began to do my
own work again. My color,
which had been pale and
sallow, became natural.
My complexion cleared up.
Cardul was just the tonic,
I needed.”

Men Wear Violet Suits
Advocates of the “brighter fash
ions for men” idea gave church
goers of Paris a shock recently when
some of the enthusiasts appeared in
violet suits. Although made along
conventional lines the apparel was
the brightest in men’s wear seen in
Paris for some time. Violet hats
Were also seen.
Short Skirts Aid Visibility
According to the president of the
Danish Automobile club in a recent
speech in Copenhagen,«the present
style in women’s stockings is a boon
to motorists and a genuine life
saver. He says that even in the
night short skirts and thin, flesh-
colored hose give such high visibil
ity to feminine pedestrians that it
is almost impossible for drivers to
fail to see them in time to prevent |
accidents.

Petrified Forest Said
to Be Natural Marvel
Wha£ js pronounced to be the
most marvelous petrified forest
known to man has been discovered
in Texas, according to American
Forests and Forest Life.
Two geologists, Dr. C. O. Gaither
and Prof. S. I. Cade, are the dis
coverers. The forest is situated in
an almost inaccessible valley of the
Big Bend region of Texas, nearly
100 miles from tho nearest railroad.
Doctor Gaither and Professor
Cade state that they found tree
trunks standing to a height of 100
to 150 feet, and also many groat
trunks of trees lying prostrate of a
size unparalleled in the world, both
in diameter and length. One tree
trunk measured *836 feet in length.
Tho upright trunks are so largo
that they appear from a distance to
he great symmetrical columns of
natural rock.
Few white persons have visited
this distant valley, which is split
by a deep arroyo leading into the
Rio Grande. A thick layer of vol
canic ashes and pumice stone cov
ers the surface, which evidently
came from a peak in the neighbor
ing Chisos mountains. Since the
prostrate trunks are partly covered
with ashes, it is evident that this
volcanic eruption occurred long aft
er tho forest passed into its pres
ent petrified state.
Always Liked Babies
The truth about Huxley’s extraor
dinary interest in babies is ex
humed by ITenry Fairfield Osborn
in his book, “Impressions of Great
Naturalists.” In Huxley’s own
words:
“When a fond mother calls upon
me to admire her baby I never fail
to respond, and while cooing appro^
priately I take advantage of an op
portunity to gently ascertain wheth
er the soles of its feet turn in and
tend to support my theory of ar
boreal descent”
