An Eskimo, when once he has gone to the trouble of splicing a fine spear handle, does not wish to break It, so the point is put on with a tangle or joint, When a seal or walrus is harpooned the sudden struggle of the animal does not break the spear, but merely un- joints the point, and the more the anl- mal struggles the more the point turns crosswise in the wound and the firmer the barbs take hold. But the animal cannot escape, for with thongs of skin the point is con- nected with the spear shaft. The ani- mal merely swims away or dives deep Into the sea, carrying with him the spear. The long leather thong which is attached to it uncoils from the deck of the kyack and pays out. It carries with it a drag like a kite, which re- tards the animal and exhausts him, but does not pull hard enough to break the line. Even this draw is made of skin stretched ‘over a spliced frame- work, When the line Is all played out It Is seen to be attached to a float, which Is also carried on the deck of the boat. This is made of an inflated skin. It has plugs and attachments of cleverly carved lvory, for wood is far too pre cious to be used In this land of Ivory so far from the forests, The float serves as a buoy so that the Eskimo can follow the animal and find It after it gives up its struggle and dies. Then, too, the float keeps the catch from sinking and being lost in the ocean’s depths. MUST BE FREAK OR FOSSIL Discovery in the Nevada Mountains |. Has Split the World’s Scien- tists Into Two Camps. A stone form exactly resembling the Yeather sole of a shoe, was found in the Nevada mountains. Geologists, paleontologists and other scientific men were astounded with the specimen’s similarity to a shoe, but none would accept it as anything but a freak of nature. This strange fossil or freak, was found imbedded in a mass of Tri- assic rock, which Is considered by scl- entists to be from 100,000,000 to 300,- 000,000 years old. By those who con- sider it a freak rather than a fossil it has been pronounced one of the most remarkable natural imitations of an artificial object ever discovered by man. Microphotographs of the fossil reveal very clearly the holes punched in the sole for stitching, and even the twist of the thread used In the welt is plainly shown, Its warp is brought out in un- mistakable prominence, In every re- spect it duplicates the exact process which takes place in a wornout shoe, These facts would seem to prove be- yond e# reasonable doubt that it Is the fossil of a real shoe, and that it was done by the hand of man. The up- shot of the matter leads to one of these two scientific facts: Either man has lived an the earth three or four times as long hs has hitherto been sup- posed, or geologists are badly mistaken in the age of the Triassic rocks in Nevada, Recent Australian Discoveries.

Soldiers of the Civil war now resid- ing in Germany have been made multi- millionaires by the recelpt of pensions from the United States. During the World war their accounts were sus- } pended and the recent payments of ac- cumulated dues have mounted as hign as $2,800 for one person. That sum amounts to more than 50,000,000 marks at the current rate of exchange.
