While the giraffe can hardly be classed among the fierce duelists of the animal world, yet animals of this species are*known to have their com- bats like their more ferocious fellows. The long-necked beast has an original and curlous method of fighting. It has neither claws nor beak nor sharp teeth with which to defend or attack, so when It is out of temper with one of its kind it does not fly in the face of Providence by trying to disembowel its adversary, as a rhinoceros might, or tear it, as a tiger would. On the con- trary, the giraffe, knowing that it has been provided by nature with a long and pliable neck, terminating in a very solid head, uses the upper part of itself like a flail, and, swinging its neck around and around in a way that does immense credit to its organiza- tion, brings {ts head down at each swing with a thump on its antagonist, The other combatant uses precisely | the same tactics, and the two animals, | planting themselves as firmly as pos- sible Dy stretching out on all four legs to the utmost, stand opposite to each | other hammering away with thetr heads until one or the other has had enough, The head of the giraffe is furnished with two stumpy, hornlike processes, | so that the animals when at this ham- | Mer-and-tongs mode of warfare, re- mind the spectator somewhat of two ancient warriors thumping each other | with the spiked balls they used to carry for that purpose at the end of a chain.—New York Herald. | WROTE OF LIFE AT HARVARD | Author Now Forgotten Conceded to Have Been the First to Depict Undergraduate Days. Harvard graduates, the world over, have long belleved that the enrliest pictorial record of undergraduate lfe at the oldest college in the United States was made when F. G. Attwood drew his pictures of college life for the first volume of the Harvard Lam- poon, The Lampoon was the fore- runner of humorous journalisin to America; Attwood became a famous humorist; and his “Manners & Cus- toms of ye Har d Studente” was es- tablished as ac ce. The discovery of a time-stained book in a New Eng: land farmhouse reveals an earlier draftsman, whose “College Scenes” antedate “Ye Harvard Studente” by fbout a quarter of a century, but were soon generally forgotten. Of N, Hays ward, the artist, no record remains but the bare fact that he was then in college. The discoverer, however, had a rare afternoon when he found the volume in a dusty chest, where it had been packed away with a lot of con- temporary textbooks and an old Har- vard diploma.—Christian Sclence Mon- itor, Historic Strasbourg. In establishing the administration of the restored provinces of Alsace | Lorraine in the city of Strasbourg, the people of France have regained a rich- ly historic ground, says the Boston | Transcript. Its cathedral, whose build- Ing engaged the services of famous architects and decorators for the pe- rod of four centuries before reaching the completion in which it stands to- day, is one of the marvels of the world. Its great univerSity has a library of a million volumes and before the war its students numbered more than 2,- | 000. | These are the local glories, but a universal fame has been gained by the products of its more intimate talent. Thus, Alsatian wine has had world-wide recognition since the mid- dle ages; Strasbourg beer was known before America was discovered, and as for that delicacy so prized by the fas- tidious taste of gourmunds, the pate de fois gras, the name of Strasbourg ds the certificate of extreme excellence, Ao ~ a eee | new salvaging submarine, designed by Simon Lake, permitting men without divers’ costumes to walk on the bottom of the ocean, was put to a severe test in New York harbor over the wreck of a government boat sunk during the war, At the right is a photograph of Mr. Lake, | and on the pi ADMITS HE WAS “JUST LOST” Joke on Veteran Hack Driver Was Altogether Too Good a One to Be Kept. For 15 years George I. King has driven the Nashyille-Helmsburg hack } line, and ts known as the Abe Martin driver by every person who has vis: ited Nashville. He has met botk | morning and afternoon trains at} Helmsburg almost every day, and has | every stone and bad place in the road} definitely in his mind, | Recently, so friends of Mr. King | say, he and a haekful of passengers | were lost within a half mile of Nash- | ville, and he was two hours late when} he arrived in town, One of the pas: | sengers told the story on the driver! after he had found out that Mr. King | Was not going to tell why he was late. When near town he drove across| Owl creek to let one of the passengers out, and instead of turning around he | turned the horses only half way, and then drove into a 40-acre cornfield, One of the women passengers, hearing the cornstalks popping, asked Mr. King when they would get back on the road. He did not answer, but kept driving around and around*in the} cornfield, After a few minutes she | asked him where they were. He} replied, “be d—n 'f I know.” ‘The pas sen s, all ngers, became alarmed and, after calling for help, a young | farmer appeared and showed the | driver how to get out of the cornfield | Atter the story had become known Mr. K!ng said that he had two dash lanterns on the hack and was just | lost.-Indianapolis News, ADDS TO WEALTH OF ITALY New Variety of Wheat, Known as Strampelil, Has Proved Really Wonderful Success, A new wheat, speclally adapted to the conditions prevailing in the grain- raising districts of Italy, has Just been | developed by many ars of careful selection by Prot, areno Strampelll, director of the experiment station at Rieti, to whom the Academy of the Lincei has awarded for It the prize of | the Santoro foundation, given only to those who discover something of real and great benefit to the human race. The new grain has been named Car- lotta Strampelli, after the devoted wife who helped materially in the work of selection. Signora Strampellt is a Roman patrician and a great: | grand-daughter of Lucien Bonaparte, | Napoleon's elder brother, Last year Carlotta Strampelli wheat was sown upon 47,000 acres of ground and yielded an average of 87 bushels to the acre—about ten bushels more than such land had yielded hith- erto. On the plains of Lombardy, Molise and Puglle are about 940,000 acres suitable for the new wheat. If the en- tire product of last year were sown | this year, the wheat crop of Italy would be increased by a quantity about equivalent to that imported an- nually before the war; in other words, it would make [Italy independent of the rest of the world for wheat.
