Washington.—The progenitor* of she Mission Indians of California, the „ jir ; t people,” as they are called, were petrified into rock and can still be * en at tlee ruins of the old village ;: tes . so say the legends gathered 'niong the California Indians by J. r. Harrington of the bureau of ethnology, Smithsonian institution. Mr. Harring p,n devoted a year of intensive re search, rescuing 1 what can still be l t . lined of the vanished culture of the Mission Indians. retrification seems to have been a ora mon conception among the Califor ni;l tribesmen. At San Marcos Mr. Harrington found bowlders on a hill si*l(, which are the warriors of a pivthic battle. Some have the blood from wounds running down tlieir sides sen ns stains on the rock. Mr. liar rington found also a curious medicine r !n k tlie size of a man standing erect. ] t is surrounded at the present time b\- a grove of cactus which keeps the ourioiis at a respectful distance. The wanderings cf the “first people” over the earth while it was still soft j,n<i muddy in its newness are also recorded as spirit footprints on the rocks. These Mr. Harrington found flt several places and photographed. “Medicine” rocks with a practical aspect were discovered at Rincon. Tiicv are two tall bowlders standing so me six feet apart. / To have good j 0( in hunting, which required that n ne could jump successfully among t l, e rocks in tlie mountains, it was ihe custom for Indian boys to spring from one to the other of these bowlders. > \ tiny things count i ■ ■ Mmv / v '1 " { ■ v IH Here are half a dozen inventions that you can hold on your hand, and each one of them has made a fortune for its creator.

Servant Shares in $35,000 000 Estate San Francisco, Cal. —Albert .Bertie, a butler here, told newspapers he had received notification that he was one of the heirs to a $35,000,000 English estate left by the late duke of Ar gyll. . | According to the servant’s story, his father, the late John Brodie Bertie, <>nce a wealthy manufacturer of steam turbines, was the first claimant to the ♦ stale*, but allowed his claim to lapse. The elder Bertie later lost his fortune, him] his sons, Albert and ISorman Ber tie, were without funds to bring a viaha against the estate left by the duke. Tie* house of chancery and records in Louden recently reopened the es tau‘ voluntarily, Bertie says, and-he I'lan- io leave for England in three 1 minks to !;■* present at the distribu tion of ti.e estate.

Washington.—The historic senate chamber, occupied continuously since 1859, will give way to modern altera tions to provide outside air and light under a plan being" worked out by Re publican and Democratic leaders. Informal agreement has been reached to prosecute the plan at the next ses sion at the urgent request of health crusaders, who claim the mechanical ventilation does not provide proper living conditions in the present inside because of the. absence of sunlight and direct air currents. The plan conforms with the original model of Thomas U. Walter, the archi tect who designed the senate and house wings of the capitol. The cost is estimated at $450,000, exclusive of a ventilating system, which consult ing architects claim still would be necessary. Third Change in Room. This would mark the third change In the senate assembly room since tlie capitol building was constructed. The senate at first occupied tlie small chamber now used by the Supreme court. Under the plan, the senate chamber would be moved forward to the north wall of the senate wing, and the archi tects report that no material struc tural changes would be needed to car ry out the design. The work would be confined to the tearing out of par titions and the relocation of galleries and offices.’ The same dimensions of the cham ber, 113 feet by 80 feet, would he re tained, but a half circle or amphithea ter form, with a coved ceiling, would be substituted for the present oblong shape to improve acoustics and vision. The new assembly room would oe j cup.v the space now devoted to the j President’s and vice president’s of- I fices and the marble room. Quarters ; for the Chief Executive and the vice ! president would he located side by ! side on the east'side of the senate 1 with entrances through a large ante room. The marble room, now used as a lounging and conference retreat for senators, would be replaced by a wide marble pronibnade around the entire half circle in the rear of the senate, with connections to the cloak rooms. More Offices to Be Built. Public corridors would be built be hind the senate chamber to provide a direct line between the two staircases and additional offices would he con structed between the corridors and the south side of the building. Gallery space would be confined to ttie half circle, with the north side left free. The press gallery, now occupy ing all of the north side, would be moved over to the northeast corner, where three rooms would he fitted up. New committee rooms would he con structed also on the gallery floor be tween the corridors and the south | wall. Drive First German Automobile 270 Miles 1 Berlin. —Tlie fortieth anniversary of tlie invention of the German automo bile was fittingly celebrated by stu dents of Hanover Tech. They hauled out the original ma chine from tlie school museum, filled the tank with gas and drove 270 miles from Hanover to the home of Dr. Karl Benz, the inventor, in Lan denberg. Doctor Benz is now eighty three years old. The trip was made without a single mishap. The car at times attained a speed of 21 miles an hour, with two passengers. Instead of the skeptical jeers which greeted Doctor Benz on his first ride in the same car. the stu dent drivers received an ovation along the route. Tears were in the aged inventor’s eyes and thousands of his townspeople cheered as the machine? chugged up and stopped in front of his house. Brighter Garb for Men Is Decreed in London London.—Should men wear bright er clothes? James Wendell, presi dent of the National Federation of Merchant Tailors, which is holding its annual meeting in London and whose dictates decide what is what in men’s clothes, declares they should. Citing the Elizabethian times, when tie-men such as the adventurous Sir Francis and gentlemanly Sir Walter Raleigh wore ribbons and velvet, Mr. Wendell declared the idea that color in men’s clothes is a sign of effemi nacy is till wrong. The conference de cided that coats will be longer, the materials will be of bright hues, and a slim effect will characterize the cuts. .Handful of Grain Dust Turns Over Auto Engine Washington. Grain dust taken from a grain elevator has been found to have sufficient explosive power to run an autombile engine. Department of Agriculture chemists who conducted tests announced that, while the engine did not make any prolonged, continuous run, enough power was developed wish the dust to turn it over many times. A hand system of feeding the dust through a tube to the intake valve was used. The experimenters said the study gave “encouraging results which in dicated the possibilities of designing an engine to use grain dust as the source of fuel.” MOONS OF JUPITER j . BEHAVE LIKE OURS ■" i U« of W. Astronomer Make* Interesting Discovery. Mount Hamilton, Calif. —At least three of the moons of Jupiter, like the moon of the earth, rotate once on j their axis in the same time that it takes them to make one revolution ! around their parent planet, declares ; Dr. .Tool Stebbins, professor of astron- j omy at the University of Wisconsin, j now working at the Lick observatory j here. Doctor Stebbins is making use of j the twelve-inch refracting telescope of the observatory, and a photo-electric j photometer by means of which the ' light from a star, planet or moon is i focused on a film of metallic potas sium. This results in a minute elec tric current which can be measured with a delicate galvanometer, and so the brightness of tlie object can be accurately determined. Cut Off Jupiter's Lirjht. , Tlie chief difficulty is in keeping the brilliant light from Jupiter itself off tlie cell, but Doctor Stebbins has over- < come this by the use of a small clia- ' phragm with a hole through which tlie light from the satellite can shine, but not the planet.* However, satellite j I, the nearest to Jupiter, is too close to be measured even with this method. Measurements have been made of I 11, 111 and IV. All of these satellites I were discovered by Galileo In 1610, and fan be seen with a small tele- , scope. In addition there are five others, but these require a large in strument to make them visible. Moons 11, 111 and IV take three days, thirteen hours; seven days, four hours and sixteen days, eighteen hours respectively, to revolve around Jupi ter and Doctor Stebbins finds J,hat the variation of the light of the first two at least also follow • these periods. This, he explains, is probably due to their being bodies like our moon, and unequally bright over their surface, so that as a greater or less area of the bright surface is exposed to the earth their light is greater or less, because this is largely reflected sun light. Compares Light With Stars. In order to check the photo-electric cell, Doctor Stebbins ’compares tlie light of tlie satellites with near-by stars, whose light is constant, and he suggests that this may he used as a possible check on the variation of sunlight. Direct measurements of sun light vary greatly because of varia tions in atmospheric conditions, but since these would affect alike the bril liancy of the satellites and of tlie comparison stars, a variation in the difference between satellites and stars would indicate an actual variation of sunlight. I Baby Is Found Playing at Nest of Rattlesnakes I Winchester, Va. —The parents of i little Jack Bailey, Jr., are wondering j what fortunate influence operated to I save their child from being bitten 1 by n nest of rattlers and copperhead | i c::r.’;C:3 near their family camp in the Massanutten mountains a day or two ago. I The child was playing some dis tance from the camp when his fa ther suddenly heard the warning char acteristic of the rattlesnake, and hastened to tlie spot. There were three large rattlers and two copper ; heads nearby and, although the child had not been attacked, all tlie rep tiles appeared to be making ready for j either an attack on the child or a battle among themselves. Other members of tlie camp ? ng party reinforced Mr. Bailey with clubs, and all the snakes were slain. Tlie largest had fourteen rattles on its tail.
