Washington.?David Livingstone will be honored soon hy a bronze statue to ne erected in Victoria Falls Park, Southern Rhodesia, beside the great waterfall which he discovered in 1S55. The noted explorer and missionary is depicted with cane in one hand, Bible in the other, and -field glasses at his side. The statue will be placed so that it constantly will be bathed with mist and spray from the roaring waterfall below. "Victoria falls is the most famous scenic attraction and one of the luost unusual geographical features of the continent of Africa," says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. "Geographers consider it one or the three greatest waterfalls In the world, rivaled only by Niagara In North America and Iguazu In South America. Although a score of other waterfalls excel It In height, Victoria possesses many aspects which at once set it apart. Lacks Majesty of Niagara. "From immemorial times an atmosphere of mystery and superstition has hung over these African falls. Livingstone had the greatest difficulty In persuading his followers to accompany him, as they believed the region to be the home of monsters and devils of destruction. Vestiges of these traditions still exist, although the Capeto-Cairo railroad, which crosses the river less than half a mile below the falls, is rapidly dispelling them. "Notwithstanding the magnitude of Victoria falls, the first view of them is disappointing. Although they are nearly a mile In width and 400 feet in height, the grandeur of their proportions is eclinsed hv the sudden dis appearance of the river, as it plunges into a narrow, rocky fissure extending across its entire width. Only at a single central point Is there a breach in this fissure through which the falls can be seen and appreciated In their full proportions, where the converging waters rush madly to the zigzag canyon below. "So restricted Is this view that there is an entire absence of that aweinspiring and almost paralyzing effect which strikes the visitor dumb with wonder and amazement when Niagara bursts on his near vision. On first sight of the Victoria falls one Involuntarily exclaims, 'Oh, how beautiful !* but they lack the majesty of Niagara. Rain Forests and Rainbows.

The fascination of discovering new and hidden charms from different points of view grows on the visitor and becomes one of its greatest attractions. "As the rainy season commences in Rhodesia in November and continues in the form of tropical showers until April, the best time to see the falls is in May, when the seething torrents are at their tlood.

C., Friday, F Right of Teacher to Paddle Upheld Lancaster. Pa.?The right of a school teacher to administer au old-fashioned paddling to unruly students was upheld recently by a jury in Quarter Sessions court when it acquitted Mrs. Ruth Weltzel, a country school teacher, of charges of spanking twelve-yearold John Wnsserlein. The youngster testified from the stand that the teacher "broke a paddle on me and bounced me up and down on the chair, hard." Then schoolmates also testified. John was said to have become involved in a tight when be attempted to separate two other youths who were fighting. In charging the jury. Judge Benjamin C.

"The bridge of the Cape-to-Cairo railroad is the favorite point selected by artists, as the picture through the narrow gap at Danger Point exhibits the full extent of the angry waters as they leap from the precipices to the abyss below. "There is a hotel near the railway. From its verandas an observer can behold a magnificent panorama of the canyon and Batoka gorge. A walk of half a mile brings one to the 'place where the rain is born,' as the natives cull the Rain forest. This is a ?lu..?AmAnnn ? * * |>?vuv>uvuuu VI ?.??*: utruuij II III I interest, especially to the botanist, for here the tropic heat and constantly falling spray produce a wealth of vegetation of wonderful luxuriance and variety. "But the most thrilling scene Is from the eastern extremity of the Rain forest at Danger point, where the treacherous vines and grasses, clinging to the rocks with hungry, desperate roots, tempt one to the very verge of the precipitate cliffs that seem to tremble with the terrific shock of the cataract. So dense here at times is the mass of vapor hurled j from the seething cauldron that the j sun's rays can no longer penetrate it, and complete darkness envelops one as he is deluged by the downpour, while the terrific thunder of the falls j drowns all other sounds and makes ' his own voice inaudible." ^aid to Scotland Yard progress has been made with hl9 ! unique schemes of reorganization. The year snw the beginning of what j will prove to be a complete reor- ; ganization of the whole Scotland Yard's administration. But what has been of more international importance is its initiation of plans for closer co-operation between the detective forces of the Yard and its continental neighbors. For the first time in history Scotland Yard officers flew to Amsterdam to meet and co-operate with officers from Belgium, France and Germany, and in so doing brought to justice a ciover gang or international thieves. The success of the Idea was not con lined to forgers. The whole ramification of International crime was discussed, and a "working arrangement," in code, of course, was established, which provides the different police forces with a complete itinerary of International jewel thieves. Throughout the year there were 21 murders, 15 of them occurring In the first half of the year. Eleven other cases were those of murder ami suicide. The remainder were mainly tlie murders of children, which aroused intense public feeling. On one or two occasions during the year gunmen made their appearance, but their careers were brief and their sentences long, one receiving 14 years' penal servitude for shooting at a policeman. Apart from actual crime, the greatest interest was In the alterations that took place within, the force itself. Lord Trenchard continued the work begun by Lord Byng of ''cleaning3' the force, and during the year many offi-' cers, some of high rank, were dismissed from the force. 5-Months'-01d Girl End* 5,000-Mile Air Journey Chicago.?Five thousand miles In less than a week from Venezuela to Seattle, Wash., is the record of fivemonths old Dorothy Hall.
