Suspension Bridges
There is a popular notion that rats
and dogs are not permitted to cross
long bridges of the suspension type,
thai their even tread will sometimes
cause sufficient vibration to endanger
the It ridge. 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

the tribe again. If he was Incorrigible,
he was put to death.
In the old council house, many a

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.
