It is a fact, tl at a corn parativel.v small force, applied at reg ular intervals under favorable circurn stances, will occasionally set up con siderable oscillation in*gueh a strtic ture. Experts testify that a few sol diers marching over a long bridge in regular step might produce more vi bration than a whole regiment out of step. 1' ually troov* are ordered to "rout step'* before starting over a bridge. Aviation Phetiei The occupational diseases Incident to flying are anxiety neurosis, neuro circulatory asthenia or stateness, pterygia or growths on the eyes due to wind Mut, snow blindness, deaf* ness and ringing in the ears, rupture of the eardrums, sinusitia, kidney stones and constipation. These dis eases have been rioted as occurring to an unusual degree among military flyers. The person flying in closed cab in and sound proof planes or the cas ual ' yer who flies when he will would probably not he affected by these dis eases. Capital of Ireland Dublin was not always the tal of Ireland. The seats of nnflu. t of the Irish kings were in other places ? In Tara. home of the high king; at Emanla In the north. In Cnshel or Kin corn in the south, at Nnas In the east, at Itath Cruachnn In the west. Even in modern times parliaments have been held in Kilkenny and elsewhere, and two parliaments were decided upon to legislate for two parts of Ire and, one in Dublin and the other In Belfast Yellow of Eye Most Sensitive The blind spot of the retina of the eye where the optic nerve enten Is familiar to most person! as belnf a spot on the retina where there la no aenslhllltj to light. Yet each eye has a yellow spot, points out a director of the Better Vision Institute, which Is In the center of the ret!Da and which Is most sensitive to light of the entire retina. "It Is with this s ?ot that our vision Is directed," he says In an ar ticle In The Salt Lake Tribune. "If we fix our eye on a lino of printed matter, the center of the lino Is dis tinctly and sharply seen, but the words toward the end of the line are vague. Making Images of Buddha In line with the process used bv the : Japanese to Induce pearls to grow ; within the shells of oysters by the In sertion of small bits of a foreign sub stance that eventually become p arl coated. Is the method employed In creating the sacred clam ahdls that Chinese Buddhists believe to h ve a miraculous origin. These c . iotis shells have small fat Images f Bud dha appearing as raised designs on their Inner surfaces. The Images have the same pearly luster of the shell linings and are really a part of the > linings, showing no break or Joint. In > making one of these curios a d:im shell Is pried open for the ir.s^rtion of a thin metal Image. It Is then closer! and the clam returned to the water where It Is left until enough 1 new shell has been formed to cover the Image with a varnish of p^arl f thick enough to hide the metal, at the same time fastening It to the shell. SEMINOLES PLAN TO SETTLE IN MEXICO I Irked by Crowing Thortage of j Space in Oklahoma. Wewoka, Okla,?The Seminole In- I dian tribe's council bouse has been | moved from Wewoka, old tribal cap- | ital, Into the country to become a | farmer's dwelling. The move was made while the tribal chieftains considered going on another "Trail of Tears" similar to the long trekt that brought them here from Florida in 1831. Three hundred Seminole braves, dis heartened by seeing their once "happy hunting grounds" of central Oklahoma sprout oil derricks and turn to indus try, have practically determined to move to old Mexico?far from oil riches and the rush of an Industrial civiliza tion. They want to get back to the open spaces, and have begun negotiations lor another hunting ground in Sonora. The old brown council house, which once stood in the center of Wewoka, had been partly dismantled. Recently the last of it was moved to the Law rence Youngblood farm. Within the last 30 years, the 14 bands of chieftains, en h with a first and second band chief and a law maker. sat in the old council house to dispense tribal Justice among their people. Gov. John T. Brown, first chief of the Semlnoles, dispensed a strict Jus tice from within the council. Law breakers were whipped at a tree now standing near the Seminole county courthouse. No Jails were found with in the Seminole nation, only the whip ping tree. A hard lashing was usually sufficient for malefactors. A third conviction resulted In death under the Seminole unwritten laws. Seminole Justice was swift, strict, and unflinching, but malefactors were not taken away from their families and the dependents left In want. If the wrongdoer reformed, as usual ly was the case, he was accepted in the tribe again. If he was Incorrigible, he was put to death. In the old council house, many a brave went on trial, aid death sen tences were meted out to the worst. The house was moved a number of time, first making the long, tortuous Journey along the Trail of Tears. Cavemen Given Credit for Many Modern Word# Stanford University, Calif.?If you think "cut-throat competition** Is strict ly a by-product of modern civilization, you stand corrected. Take it from William Hawley Davis, professor of Knglish and student of the origin of popular phrases at Stan ford university, even the cavemen knew it Indeed, Doctor Davis says, the cavemen originated It. In an address before the Philolog ical Association of the Pacific Coast, the professor readjusted some of his audiences' beliefs anent many modern figures of 8p<*ech. "To the words and expressions In use in everyday life,** Doctor Davis said, "we can trace the history of civi lization." Other expressions he attributed to the cavemen were "luck-scratching" and "pits of their own digging." To the period of chivalry he traced "buckle on your armor," "couch your spear" and "luck on his haunches." The pioneers, he added, first gave voice to "stump the state," "in the clear," "over a barrel," "bring home the bacon." and "the wolf at the door." "Upsetting the applecart," Davis de clared, originated with the earliest farmers. Plane Freight* Silver Out From Canadian Mine Edmonton, Alta.?A silver concen trating mill, each piece of which was flown In by airplane or transported on river boats, has starte operating in the Great Hear lake mineral field. The plant Is located 1,000 ml'es north of Edmonton, weighs GT?0 tons and has a daily capacity of .00 tons of ore. The oil engine which operates the ' concentrator Is supplied with fuel by Fort Norman oil wells, the northern most wells In the world. When the silver has been concen trated. the heavy bars are freighted i out by airplane. Operators claln they can do this at a substantial profit be cause of the richness of the ore. Horr.e Defeat* Man in Walking Contest Orlando, Fin.?There was an ar g iinentT-one of the kind from wiirh grows the desire to wager? shout whether a horse or a man could walk faster. TV. W.

Mystery Dwarfs of Santo _j Tiniest Peopla in Wtttfi % There is to the dense inland lorHBI of Santo, the largest island In tlia NoW-y,^ Hebrides. a race of dwarfs who the smallest people on earth. pygmies of the Congo forests dlaiOf* ?*rerl by Stanley in 1887 average around ^ ? about four feet In height, notes a wrffr er In the Montreal Herald, but the av erage stature of the Santo dwarfs only three feel six inches. Judging hJ the few specimen* seen and measured V; by white men. Hardly anything Is known of their mode of living, as they haunt foreef' fastnesses. To follow them would be to court deaMi. for they Impregnate the ti{?s of their tiny arrows, projected through blowpipes, with some un known vegetable poison, it is so dead ly that the slightest scratch from one Kj>eedlly proves fatal. Moreover, theee little people are intensely hostile to strangers and shoot them on sight. The tuore civilized natives, dwelllag along the seashore, assert that they are cannibals. ethnologists are trying to discover how the Santo dwarfs managed to reach their present borne. For they / ure an Inland dwelling race; true for est pygmies. They own no canoes and have no knowledge of navigation. Yet obviously they have come from some other part of the tropics, for In fea tures they are similar to the African pygmies and quite unlike the Melane sia n peoples by whom they are sur rounded Southern Arabia Yields Incense, Myrrh and Aloe Few of the present day know even the name of this land. Yet once It was rich, with a highly developed culture. One of the highroads of the otd-Jtoi^d, the trade-route from India and Penfla to Egypt and Syria, and to the other countries around the Mediterranean, ran through Iladhramant (southern coast of the Arabian peninsula); and it supplied Its own fragrant contribu tion to that ancient world commerce ?a contribution not great In ex tent. hut vast in significance, says a writer In the National Geographic Magazine. Incense trees grew along the bar ren. rocky plateaus and In the scorch ing heat of the wadies (dry river beds) And woe to him who. unini tiated. tried to collect the valuable product, for, sooner or later, he per ished from thirst and exhaustion. The gathering of Incense, myrrh and aloe remained a work for those trained In the hard and difficult art of travel ing over the endless plains of stone, and through the wadies, with tftelr perpendicular walls and deadly heat that drives man to despair. Theae products of woudoroua odor, destined for the serWe of God and the dead, carry with them something of the mys tery of their land of origin. Ncrre Sons Have It Discovery near Lake Winnipeg, In Canada, of b Norse rune stone dated In the Fourteenth century revived dis pute over Scandinavian claims that Norse:uen not only discovered Amer ica long before Columbus, but pene trated far Into the continent with ex peditions and settlements. This the ory had its rise In discovery of a sim ilar nine stone In Minnesota some thir ty years ago. says the San Francisco Chronicle. This discovery was hooted by skeptics us a fake. Mnch plaus ible evidence has been presented by both supi>orters and opponents of the Nordic claim, as well as by others who uphold the theory that Asians pre ceded any Europeans in American dis covery. this apart from evidence that the American Indians did not spring from the soil, hut came by way ef Bering Straits. Very Old City in Bolivia When ?lie Spaniards entered the re gion now known as Bolivia they found a very old city. Tiahuanaeo, near Lake Titlnr I The huge stone blocks of ihe buildings were held In place with ^rejii silver and copper staples. Plun ; ler i? ing the object of the Spaniards, i they pried these metal staples loose and Tied them Off. leaving the massive ! walls to topple. It is difficult to judge ! Ihe age of the city. The ancient Tiahuanacotans used a sun dial, and a German scientist and astronomer has made calculations to determine how far the axis of the earth ha? shifted since their sun dial stood lr Its proper relation to the ' poles At first he used a formula adopted by the French Society of As tronomers. and he obtained 12,000 i years as the city's age. "Life" Sentences i The term "life" sentence in a peni tentiary has different meanings in dif- . i ferent states Each state has its own Interpretation of the tenn. and some states literally make the eonvlct serve to the last day of his life, while oth-; ers give a leaser sentence. In Call-? fornia. for example, there Is n mini mum sentence of 20 years with the ! possibility of the convict getting out before the end of his natural life. In New York, on the other hand, the convict must serte his entire life. * Goddess of Victory The so-called Victory of Snmothrace \ is the goddess of victory excavated by French nrcheolofilffts, who were at vork between 1803-1S67.
