The history of this unusual indus
try dates , back thousands of years.
"The tarakol-fttr bearer is an ancient

The bread takes its name from tbo
Atttle town of Karakul, not far from
the Aral sea. In Torkaataa, Asia, For
Icentarles the fur of tbo sheep grown
fin this little prlmlttTO community was
known to traders and farriers the
world over as the finest to be ob
tained. The pore karaiaTf Were found
only on the nnthf br -kh
throughout that VsfcsMlii
(Afghans, the Astraebans and the
jXrlnuncrs. The llabomatan tribes of
Bokhara have a sacred' regard for
Ithess full-blooded karakuls. They
guard them sealously, and this fact,
together with the knowledge that the
.karakul breed la rapidly becoming ex
tinct in their domain, caued extraor
dinary difficulties when it was Urst
proposed to tranaplant a flock of the
sheep to America.
The flock which1 Dr. CL 01 Young
brought to Texan in 1006 was the
first full-blooded karakul sheep orer
taken out of the Province of Bokhara
and out of Russia. That flock of 10
head was brought to Holliday, Texas,
also In Archer county, not far from
Mr. Albright's present ranch. Doc
tor Young's personal knowledge of the
people with whom he was dealing
went a great way toward his ultimate
success in carrying out his plans.
Albright Takes Hold..
Dr. Young did not continue his
experiment long and Mr. Arbrlght
took up the project of raising the fur
bearing sheep. It was 25 years ago
that Alex Albright made his first effort
to Import karakul stock Into the United
States In order to bring new blood to
his then small flock. He, too, found
that he must overcome the import laws
of his own country first, then break
down the shyness of the herdsmen of
Bokhara, who recoiled from the idea
of allowing their aheep to be taken to
foreign lands.
"When I say that raising karakul
sheep la the most profitable Industry
the stockmen could enter I have only
to state a few facts," Mr. Albright
said. "Ordinary wool Is now bringing
around 20 cents a pound, and has not
greatly varied from that figure in a
year. As my Invoice shows, last June
15, I sold on the New York market
fur pelts from 280 karakul sheep at
$2,346.12 net to me. That alone clear
ly substantiates my claim that 100
good fur-producing ewes can show
more profit than a thousand head of
any other breed of sheep. Karakul
lamb pelts for fur must be taken the
first three or four days after birth."
Germany's Latest Naval
Weapon la "Death Boat"
Kiel, Germany. Germany's latest na
val war weapon the "death boat"
made Its first public appearance here
during the maneuvers of the fteich's
fast-growing new navy.
The "death boats," so named because
they not only can deal death rapidly
but also because their crews brave
death with little chance of escape, are
combination torpedo-speedboats recent
ly perfected and reported capable of
reaching a speed of more than 60 knots.
Each of the small speedboats Is
equipped with a deadly torpedo and all
are based on a "mother ship" filled
with torpedoes and fuel. The naval
strategy of the "death boats" In war
fare Is to rush right up to enemy war
ships, discharge their torpedoes point
blank and then speed away if they
can from under the guns of the at
tacked craft .

Washington, D. O-The porcupine
family tworo old settlera. In North
America, The) oldest fossil belonging
to this rodent group yet found on the
continent baa been Identified to. mate
rial gathered to the Snake river Valley
of Idaho by Dr.. O. Lewis Gaatn, Smith
sonian Institution paleontologist' The
deposits' belonged to the late pliocene
or early pleistocene period of the geol
ogists, about at the start of the great
left ages more than 000,000 years ago,
? Tbis porcnplno left only a part of Its
lower Jaw to the rock as a record foe
posterity, bat -this was enough for Dr.
Robert W. Wilson, paleontologist of the
California Institute; of .Technology, to
place it to the proper family. , s
It was evidently a somewhat larger,
heavier creature than either of tbo two
porcnplno species now . fonnd to the
United States. Hitherto the creatures
have been considered relatively late
arrivals on this continent, although
they have a greater antiquity In south
America. Other bones gathered In tbe
area Indicate that South American an
imal types were penetrating far north
ward at tbo time.
rosstis of both the extant species of
porcupines go back, only to cave or
volcanic flaauro deposits dating from
the middle or late Ice-age period. Hith
erto only one fossil representing an ex
JJnct species of porcupine has been re-!
00 continent This was a
rather completo skull obtained from a
volcanic fissure to Ariaona and dated
from tbo lata pleistocene period.
Tbo Indications are that tbo porcu
plnes may have been to North America
oven In .the early pliocene period, or
mora than 10,000,000 years ago.
Hitherto, however, the tangible evi
dence of this consisted only of two
teeth found to the Niobrara river re
gion of Wyoming, and paleontologists
are to doubt as to whether thesexould
not be assigned more properly to an
ancient beaver. No additional remains
ever have been fonnd In the area.
The remains identified by Dr. Wilson
are closer to the present porcupines
than to the older animal.
Arizona Woman Makes
Pets of Gila Monsters
Tucson, Ariz. If any traveler to'
Arizona should wish to take home a
playful little Gila monster to keep the
cat from getting lonesome,' he can buy
one already house-broken.
Mrs. Nell Holderman has opened
Arizona's queerest pet ranch. She
trains Gila monsters for pets and sells
them to tourists.
So well behaved are the monsters,
whose skin looks like a woman's bead
ed bag, that they come waddling on
their four human-like feet when ahe
calls them by name. They are also
quite affectionate, climbing on ber
shoulders and caressing her neck.
"Although most people are afraid of
Gila monsters because they can bite
like bulldogs, sinking their sharp teeth
to a vise-like grip Into tbe flesh, they
are not dangerous," Mrs. Holderman
declared. ."If treated kindly, they will
come to love you and to obey yoa. They
are as smart as a dog and can be
taught any number of tricks."
... but, after all is said and
done, it's the cigarette it
self that counts
