VOL. XLVII FEAR LOSS OF ELK HERDS Animals In Yellowstone Park Are Rap. Idly Disappearing, According to Official Reports. Official# of the United Stntes De partment of Agriculture are alarmed the threatened extermination of the Elk herd In Yellowstone park. On the ranges of the park, where ordi narily thousands of these animals could be seen, only a very few have been observed this winter. Several theories have been offered to account for the marked shrinkage in the herd. ■AJmong these Is the probability that the majority died frpm natural causes or had been killed during the last year. Another Is that the open fall and winter caused the elk to remain In hiding In some retreat deep In the mountains and In the higher and more Inaccessible potions of the park. Open falls In the past, however, have not caused the elk to abandon their usual customs and habits. That there has been an alarming shrinkage In the Yellowstone herd dur ing the last five years Is an estab lished fact, according to figures sup plied by the Department of Agricul ture. In 1914 It was estimated at about 25,000; In 1917, 17,500 were Counted, and. If the figures for the present year, estimated by those close In touch with the situation, are true, there remains much less than half this number. In 1919, 3,800 head were killed In the Yellowstone band, the su pervisor of the Absaroka national forest reports. The Department of Agriculture points out that no herd of wild ani mals can sustain an annual shrink age In numbers for any u length of time and not face complete extermination within a few years. DENIES WOMAN IS MYSTERY Man Is Puzzling Himself for Nothing, Is Assertion Made by Writer of Gentle Sex. After declaring to the reporters who met him In New York that the women of today care for nothing but having a good time and have assumed an atti tude gf pagan enjoyment, the English essayist, Gilbert K. Chesterton, is re ported as moving majestically along the pier shaking hands with tie cus tom officers and leaving Mrs. Chester ton to see about the bagga-ge. "My wife understands these things; I don't," he said, with a sweep of his stick. It is evident from the report that, although woman may have changed much since before the war, as Mr. Chesterton says, some of the oldtlme masculine attitude toward them re-' mains, May Strpnathan writes in the Pittsburgh Dispatch. In further proof of this, the Englishman goes on to speak In the same old prewar way about the psychology of women, using the familiar words, "I speak reverent ly as of a mystery, for a man never knows what a woman will do," and then he tells how she will act under certain circumstances. The mystery about It Is not In the psychology of woman, but in the fact that, having supposed that a woman would act In the way most natural to all humanity, he thinks It Is mysteri ous because a woman does It. He describes a man as likely to act the same way under Blmllar circum stances, but does not see any mys tery In the masculine point of view. Hear Heart Yards Away. An amplifying apparatus described as so delicate as to permit a physician in one city to make a stethoscoplc ■tody of the heart action of a patient hundreds of miles away, was demon strated to a group of army and civil ian medical men at the army signal corps laboratories at Washington. The principle Involved Is similar to that used In transmitting President Hard ing's Inaugural address. The demonstration - was directed by Brig. Gen. George Squier, chief signal ofl|per. The stethoscoplc apparatus, with electrical connection, was placed over the heart of one of the laboratory assistants and the heart fceat was am plified many thousands of times, emerging from a phonograph horn and heard distinctly and studied by tjie physicians in a room some distance from that in which the subject was located. ♦« Class by Underground Tunnels. An underground tunnel system that has all the fascination of the cata combs, although It serves the less dra matic function of conveying heating pipes, is one of the chief attractions tt Wellesley college. It has been completed and ui> dergraduates are being permitted to ramble around under the 900-acrt campus. The tunnels are six feet high and wide enough for comfortable walking. Girls have found that no matter how cold the weather, It is a good plan to abandon coats when taking this long adventure. The temperature from the THE ALAMANCE GEEAINER. NEW MONTE CARLO IN CUBA? | Possibility That World-Famous f»im ' bling Establishment May Be Located on the Island. "The greatest gambling center In the world Will be located in the west ern hemisphere If plans for *palaces' In Cuba develop as given out," said Walter P. Harris of Havanna. "Cuba la already beset with the gambling fever, and fortunes change hands there almost every day. "Since the of the prince of Monaco that he is prepar ing to close Monte Carlo, there have j been extensive preparations for the establishment of great gambling pal aces designed to attract the sporting element that now visits Monte Carlo to the 'Pearl of the Antilles.' Several villages have been surveyed with the view of locating this gambling cen ter, but so far no definite decision has been reached. "Gambling Is already flourishing In Havana. The Casino de la Playa is a great garish temple of roulette, where wonderful dinners are served at less than cost. The profit to the house comes from the wheel. The men who take women to the Casino for dinner Invariably back them at the wheel. "The moratorium now in effect on the Island has not affected the crowds at the Casino, because they are most ly composed of tourists, and the vis itor Is treated to the sight of a coun try, apparently bankrupt but gambling madly, where fortunes change hands overnight and the beggar of today may be the rich man of tomorrow." — Washington Post HUMAN FACE AS A BEACON Radiometer Able to Record the "Shine" Thrown Off, at a Distance of Several Miles.- Novelists that speak of a face "lighting up" put down an actual truth that few of them are aware of or In tend. One of the most delicate In struments In the world, a radiometer, records the "shine" of a human face, and can do It at a distance of several miles. So delicate Is the Instrument that It can detect and record the glim mer of a candle half a mile away, and If there were no atmospheric obstruc tion It could detect the same candle 10 miles away. The Instrument consists of two thin glass disks, one polished and one blackened, suspended by a quartz thread In a vacuum. Waves of radiant energy striking this instru ment disturb Its balance, because the bright disk reflects them, while the black one absorbs them. While the human face to the nor mal eye gives out no waves of radiant energy, the fact remains tliat a (*>tv stant flow of energy Is being thrown off, and these waves travel an un known distance. Although the radio meter Is a wonderful and delicate In strument, there Is a thermal couple ten times as sensitive as the radiome ter and it can detect the heat of a candle 60 miles distant. Italy to the Rescue. Visiting a school Is a doubtful pleas ure. But the woman had promised to call for a friend who Is known as a "rooky" teacher. She waited until al most closing time before entering the school, a red brick, lumpy sort of building, not specially attractive. It looked as if she had come too soon. All eyes soon focussed on her Instead of on the busy little teacher. The word "trio" was being explained to the children and volunteers were asked to stand and use the word In a sentence. And no one need expect to go home until the word was fully ex plained. Little R. T. coaxed, "Come now, tell me Just one little story with 'trio' In It" Timidly, swarthy little Giuseppe raised his hand. His naturally happy face was strained In bis effort to help. Then flashed a bright smile at the woman and shouted cheerfully: "It Is nearly trio clock."—New Tork Sun. Drawer That Will Not Jam.

A glove for the tongue has been newly patented by Gaitiey Guise of Riley, Ind. He calls it a "tongue shield," and it Is designed to enable the wearer to escape the unpleasant ness of castor oil or other bad tasting medicine. The contrivance might be snld to have the shape of a miniature slip per without any heel portion, but when placed over the tongue Is Inverted. The tongue Is inserted Into the "toe" part and the back part of the "sole" extends over the top of the tongue to ward the throat. The device Is made of thin sheet rftbber, so as to be liquid proof, and Is so constructed as to fit the tongue snugly without discomfort. When medicine Is taken It passes Info the throat without affecting the *ense of taste, so that all unpleasantness Is ob viated. "Maxim Gorky" a Pseudonym. "Maxim Gorky," who was reported to be on bis way to England on a visit to H. G. Wells, but is still held up by the Bolshevist authorities on the frontier, is Alexel I'yeshkof, the poet and chronicler of pariahs and vaga bonds of Ilussian society. "Gorky" means "bitter." The foil name, "Maxim Gorky," .nay, perhaps, be read to mean "tla* bitterest of the bitter." The pseudonym effectively symbolizes Pyesbkofs attitude to ward life, for his fiction is distilled es sence of the disappointed. He was not at first a Bolshevik, and he seems only to have Joined the Bol shevist ranks under pressure. Given his choice between low diet and high office, he preferred t(ie latter, which is one, happily, that does not require him to take any active part In the per petration of atrocities. —Living Age.

What Is declared by Captain Bruun and officers of the steamship..North western to be the greatest ffsh tragedy ever enacted, to human knowledge, oc curred ut Klawack bay, l'rince of Wales island, January 30, when at one stroke more than 2,000,000,0*g00d sized berring lost ilieir lives, a Ketchi kan (Alaska) dispatch ro the New York Sun states. The crew related their remarkable experience of sail ing through miles of dead Ilsh. The.y said Klawack«bay was full of herring three duys befofe the North western arrived, when a sudden freeze caught the Ilsh In the narrow-necked harbor before they could escape to sea. The freeze came with great sud denness and severity and about six InChes of Ice formed In the harbor. Millions of herring at the entrance could be seen dumbly lighting to get out to sen before the Inclosed waters were frozen. "It may sound like a Ilsh story," said Mr. Bradovich, "but the fact Is that the greatest chance in tbe world for | obtaining good fish without a stroke I of work was lost. For days a few persons tried to put some of the her ring away for the summer, but made no InNiads on the supply. The near esi Indians, who would have appre- j elated the fish, wefe IMK) miles away.

Worried Indianapolis Man Is Very Glad to Let Things Remain on That Basis. When Wallace O. Lee, chairman of the publicity committee for the Oypay Smith revival arrangements, ordered the big sign Vn the front of the wood en tabernacle opposite the city hull, he told the sign man tu spell It "Gipsy." After It was painted find set up, somebody told Wallace that he was all wrong—that the first syllable should have been spelled with a "y" Instead of an "I." So when Wallace the other dity ordered 152 signs boost ing the campaign, to be sent to evan gelistic churches In the county, h# told the sign man to spell It "Gypsy." Then various ministers worried Air. I«ee by calling him up and saying that although they were glad to get the sign, and so on, stlll-r-well, what they were trying to hint politely was that what Wallace didn't know itbout spell ing would have filled a bigger book than the unabridged. So the harassed booster dug out a dictionary and 'lo, It said that the Word, as a common noun at least, may be spelled either way without en dangering the peace and dignity of the state. Ar.d then along rrfioes a letter from the evangelist himself and his signa ture read "Gipsy Smith." Well, anyway, one sign Is right.— Indianapolis News.
