PAGE EIGHT MIGHTY HUNTRESS SEEKS NEWTRAILS Lady MacKenzie Plans Trip of Discovery on Tana River in _ African Jungles. REGION OF DENSE FORESTS Stream Broken by Rapids and Water- falls and Abounding In Big Game and Snakes—Land of Big Animals. New York.—Heading an expedition to East Africa, which has as its ob- ject the exploration of the Tana river and the hunting of big game, Lady MacKenzie, the woman huntreu. is ifn New York completmg detalls of the trip and arranging to dispose of tro- phies obtained in two expeditions she already has made to Africa. Upon her arrival at Mombasa, Af- rica, she will remain several days, su- perintending the shipment of nine tons of trophles she has stored there. These include many rare specimens of heads and skins of animals, and will be presented to the Bronx Zoological museum, the American Museum of Nat- ural History, the Smithsonian’ institu- tion, and other institutions. One rare trophy is the head and skin of a garanak, an animal with a neck ‘and head like a giraffe, which is sel- dom seen in the open, according to Ledy MacKenzie, who shot the beast. In her forthcoming expedition Lady MacKenzie sald she would be accom- panied by F. Postma, who was with her on her other hunting trips. Wil- Mam (“Bill”) Judd, who was with Oolonel Roosevelt’s hunting expedition fn Africa; E. Shelley, one. of Paul Rainey’s hunters, and Pete Pearson. The Tana river, Lady -MacKensie sald, s one of the most treacherous streams in the world. It is full of whirlpools, waterfalls and dangerous rapids. At places along its winding course the forests are so dense that travel is possible only by literally climbing over the tops of the trees. The length of the river is estimated at trom 2,000 to 3,000 miles. Land of Big Animals. *I am returning to continue work that was interrupted by the war,” she sald. “In 1016 I was about to start the exploration of the Tana, and had established my camp at the junction of the Tana and the Thekl, when I was told I would have to stop. “ appreciate the danger that lles be- fore me, but I feel the discoveries that will be made will be worth risking y life for. What |s | along that river can ouly be guesved at. "Somalls and the Wanderobas have at times reported “t00 much elephant, meaning a great herd or great herds of elephants. At other times they have told us of huge “Hons, great rhinoceroses, hippopota- muses, and qther great beasts. I want to find out if thelr tales are true and to get some specimens. [ know that big snakes are to be found along the river, for I have seen them. They are what I ‘really fear. “After I have supervised ‘the s.ip- ment of the trophies, I am going to visit the Masal. I want to take with me a complete surgical and medical outfit, including .a medical man and his assistants. This race, one of the most remarkable in Africa, is afflicted with an eye disease that closely resem- -bles trachoma. Unless it speedily is checked, the tribe will become totally blind in a few years. “I also hope to accomplish another mission. The Masal womef Kre practic- ing a form: of race suicide. They fear that in time the whites will make them and thelr children slaves hnd-servants. I saw only seven children In the tribe. It is only a question of a short time before this race becomes extinct, un- less they are made to understand the white people no longer make slaves of black people.” How Germans Prepared in Africa. TNlustrating some conditions she will face on her trip. Lady MacKenzie told- of incidents of her expeditiop in 1916. She gave an Interesting sidelight on how thoroughly the Germans In Get- man East Africa had prevared for the war. She sald: “We were hunting lions on the Ger- man East African border when one day we saw a party of blacks maneu- vering. We could not make out what they were doing until they crossed the border. Then we thought they were going to attack the British Africans. Things looked very serious and we de- clded to move camp. The rapid ap- proach of the blacks forced us to leave hurriedly, but we were able to hide nearly all of our supplies and &quip- ment. “Three weeks later we reached Nai- robl and reported what we had seen. The British authorities sent oyt run- ners to learn what was going.on. They _. reported that the German Africans had seized all the water holes and -were occupying other strategic points.”This was four weeks after we had report- ed. A day ‘or so.later/news reached Nairobl that Germany had declared war. Thus you can see the hlacks in Amu had had orders from Germany to act more than seven weeh before war was declared.” 1s'Oldest Market. * - ‘Harrisburg, Pa.—~This city has mar- kets which are. probably: the oldest tn the United States.

The Jackson statue in Lafayette park, Washington, the first equestrian statue unveiled in the United States. The famous statue of George III, which the New York patriots pulled down in 1776, was built before there was a United States. The Jackson statue was de- signed and erected by Clark Mills, a “gelf-made” sculptor, who started life as a plasterer. He had never seen an equestrian statue before he started work on this one and the ap- pliances for modeling and casting were made by him. The metal in the group is made of cannon cap- tured by Jackson from the British. The equipoise of the group is per- fect and no important cing rods are used to keep the statue from toppling, an exchange says. Mills claimed that he had so per- fectly attained the center of gravity in the work that the group would balance perfectly on the hind feet of the rearing charger. This fact was proved, but when the statue was erected the hind feet of the horse were bolted or otherwise fastened to the base or pedestal to secure it against the possible effects of hxgh winds or other disturbing or mis- chievous causes.

CHANGES IN ORBIT OF OON | Explains Fact That Eclipses Do Not Occur on or About Same Dates Every Year Lunar eclipses always occur at full . mioon, or when the sun and moon ‘are in oppoumon and gre caused’] moon passing through ear AS'the moon in her course passes the sun once évery month; and also:placés the earth between hereelf and the sun ofce a month, 1t is evident that £ she moved In tlie plane of the eelipse ‘there would be either a total or anpular eclipse of the sun and a total éclipse of the moon eve Mflh : They do not ‘happen overyn use ' the ‘moon’s orbit 18 lm:llped .th the ecliptic the great clrcle of the heavens round which the sun seems to travel from west to east in the course of a year, al- lowing her to pass the sun to an angle of nearly 5 degrees and 9 minutes to the north and south of his track, pre- venting such a frequent occurrence of eclipses. From the magnitude of the angle of inclination of her orbit to the ecliptic an eclipse can only occur on a full moon happening when the moon is at or near one of her nodes, or points where her orbit intersects the eclipse. Therefore, if the moon does not travel on the ecliptic, which would result in a lunar eclipse every full moon, it is logical to say that the moon does not follow the same orbit year after year. If the moon followed the same orbit year after year lunar eclipses would occur on or about the same dates every year, but the fact is that they might occur any full moon. —Kausas Clty Star. GRIZZLY IS FAST VANISHING Final Disappearance of Really Noble Animal Will Be Regretted by All Who Knew Him. The grizzly bear has been known to the white. race little more than a century. Lewis-and Clark wrote the first official accounts of him in 1803, and he was first discussed publicly in 1814 by Gev. De Witt Clinton in New York city. Guthrie’s geography says that he was named Ursus horribilis by Naturalist George Ord .in 181§. Fossil records Indicate that the grizzly. is of Asiatic origin. He appears to. have come Into America about a million years ago over one of the pre-historie land bridges that united Alaska and Asta, Bears and dogs are descendants from the same parent stock. The grizzly bear never eats human flesh, 18 not feroclous and fights only in self-defense. He leads an adventurous life, Is a born explorer and ever has good wlilderness manners — never makes attacks. The iumerous cases in which the grizzly has been made a pet and companion. of man, where he was thoughtfully, intelligently raised, show him to be a superiof animal, dignified; lntem‘ent, loyal and uniformly good- tempered. Not LY mzzly exists in any of the four national parks of Califor- “nig, and _that antmal, once so cele brateéd in that state, is extinct there. He 18 also extinct over the greater portion of the vast territory which he tomorly occupled, and 1s verging on cxter- mination.

The radish, it now turns out, 18 no mere mushroom of the vegetable world. Besides its edible qualities it wears the halo of tradition.. Hence the enthusiasm of Miss Trouard- Rlolle. She has discovered, after ar- duous research, that the radish was known of the Egyptlans and of the Chinese. As yet research has not pro- vided auy clue to the whereabouts of the radish from the early times to the heginning of the fifteenth century, when it entered France in varied coats of black, of white, and red. It must be left to Miss. Trouard-Riolle, or others of the same indefatigable curiosity to discover. Biscuit of Ancient Origin. " The biscuit is in reality the oldest form of bread. Nobody knows when the process of fermentation was in: troduced in baking, but it is certain, that the making of simple cakes with flour and water and without yeast— that is; biscuits—dates from the high- est antiquity, for such biscuits have been found among neolithic remains. The Greeks and Romans had advanced from the primitive form of bread, but they baked biscuits for special occa- sions, for use in military campaigns and on voyages. The Romans calied this form of bread “panis nauticus,” while the Greeks used for it a term wmeaning “bread twice- put into . the fire” The word biscuit means, of course, twice baked, but the anclent practice of a double baking has long Miss Mable Kirkvold left for Ed.| e abandoned. more, N.

The mounting of real butterflies as millinery ornaments is a work of great "skill, and one in which ‘the clever fingers of the Frenchwoman are al- most indispensable. The insect to be utilized is first left for a day upon damp sand in order to soften it and make It easier of manipulation. Both gides of the wings are then covered with a transparent white alcohol var- | nish, and it is at once backed with sateen of an appropriate shade, accord- ing to a writer in Wide World. When dry, this stuff is carefully cut round 50 as to exactly fit the butterfly, which is then mounted on a wire—a light -apd graceful object for a modiste. — Chicago, Nov.
