On the narrow ice-free strip of coast some 5.000 men of Norwegian blood maintained this colony and another farther north for several centuries. In addition to substantial houses they had a cathe- dral, 16 churches, a monastery and a nunnery. A resident bishop lived at the southern settlement World’s Hughext Block of Iee. “If the airmen should strike across from the east to the west coast, in- stead of doubling Cape Farewell, they would survey a unique terrain Greenland’s mountains are as the missionary song has it “All mountains that are high enough are icy even under the equator. But the song missed the real point. eenland’s valleys are icy—filled solidly full of ice, in fact. It is doubtful if anywhere else in the world such a tremendous ice .sheet exists as in Greeland The snows of perhaps a dozen or ma millen- niums have built up & crystal blanket that in ‘places is six or seven thou- sand feet thick.

In the wilder parts of the world the struggle between man and beast is waged unceasingly, and many are the cute dodges 1 ich big game are bagged Take the panther trap, for instance. A piece of meat is laid beside a jungle track, and certain lines are fastened to the meat. These lines are passed through rings set in the ground and are then attached to the triggers of two or more rifles The rifles are fixed in po: that each one points at a mediately above the meat panther comes along he snatches up the bait in his mouth, and by that action shoots himself. Even simpler is the native tiger trap. This consists of a stout bamboo cage without any floor. The native hunter carries the cage into the jungle and gets inside it, having armed himself with hunting ‘spears and knife. The tiger, prowling through the jungle, smells human flesh. approaches ihe cage and begins to try to scratch his way in. With this object, he either jumps on top of the cage or gets on his hind degs to claw at it. In either case he exposes his body, and the huntsman immediately plunges a spear into a vital part. In_ Algeria, during the winter, hungry lions descend from the moun- tains, and it is necessary for the Arabs to outwit them. This they do in_a very clever, though simple, way. First of all, they construct a thick circular hedge § feet in height. Then all round the inside of this they dig a trench 30 feet deep and 15 feet broad. A low hedge is next con- structed round the inner lip of the trench, and the camping- ground is complete. When the lions approach the out- side hedge they can scent the men and cattle on the other side, but, of course, they cannot see the hidden trench. So, when they leap the outer hedge, instead of finding themselves in the camping ground, they drop to the bottom of the ditch, there to be dispatched in leisure. An amusing and ingenious method of stalking antelopes and. ostriches has sometimes been adopted with suc- cess by enterprising huntsmen. An umbrella-shaped frame of wicker- work is painted or feathered to rep- resent the body of an ostrich and an imitation ostrich neck is fitted on a hinge to the edge of the frame. When the hunter holds the frame over his head and shoulders only his legs are visible, while the sham ostrich neck is standing up; so that, from the distance, he looks like a real ostrich. With -his frame thus fixed to his shoulders, the huntsman takes his rifle and moves slowly over the open plain toward his quarry. Sometimes he stops and lowers the estrich neck on its hinge, as though he were an ostrigh feeding. So, by degrees, he moves on until he is well within range of his quarry, ion_so pot im- When the LIES THINKING HOw (OMFORTABLE KEIS, AND HOW HE'LL COME HOME EARLY MON- DAY TO CUT THE GRACS INSTEAD OF DOING [F.THIS ATTERNCON FINDS TRED BROUGHT IT BACK THIS MORN! , PULLS HIMSELP WEARWLY UPRIGHT AND GLOOMILY SURVEYS AND'ASKS 1P THAT SOUN TO HER-HAS AN PUSHES 1T UP 2D DowH ON PORCH S QUITE RIGHT DIA TNEEDS OILING OR TRIED THE LAWN-MOWER VET ‘CAUSE HE BURIES NOSE IN BOOK AS LAWN-MOWER STRRTS TO BUZZ DOWN THE STREET AND WIPE REMARKS HE'S GOING TO CUT THE €R TO-DAY ISN'T KE THE LAWN LOOKS DREADFUL SAYS YOU KNOW HE'S BEEN THINKING WOULDN'T IT BE AGOOD IDEA T LET THE GRASS GROW LONG~ IT'D MAKE T LOOK SORT OF WILDER -HES SEEN IT DONE THAT \*‘/AR\I AND f‘i'S KIND'OF PRETTY HAIL COMLS FROM NEXT DOOR.

By Cable to The Star and the New York World. BERLIN, August 9.—Diplomatic re- lations between Gefmany and “Bul- garia are friendly and very simple, so that the Bulgarian embassy here in Berlin is not overburdened with ex- acting work—a most fortunate cir- cumstance, for it allows the Bul- garian Ambassador, Dr. Methodi Pop- off. ample time for scientific research. So far his most important work has been on the stimulation of the living cell. If the cell is brought into con- tact with an agent having an affinity with oxygen, there is, as Dr. Popoff puts it, an acceleration of the ‘“oxy- disation” or breaking process. The result is a kind of rejuvenation that affects the cell during the whole period of its existence -Dr. Popoff has carried out his ex- with salts of magnesia potassium, mercury, ar- senle, copper, with carbon monoxide and dioxide, with alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and other chemicals to which he attributes the gualities of a cell- rejuvenating or cell-stimulating agent. The results are of extraord- inary interest and importance Texts One-Celled Organivm. One of his carly experiments was with the slipper animalcule (para- moecium caudatum), a one-celled or- ganism, only just visible to the naked eve and found abundantly in stagnant water. He immersed a number of these creatures which he had bred from a common parent in a 15 to 20 per cent solution of magnesium chloride from one to three minutes, After subjecting them to this “stim- ulation” he rinsed them and put them back into their normal surroundings. The result was as follows: By way of control Dr. Popoff had kept a number of unstimulated ani- mals born of the same parent as those he had stimulated. A pair of the full-grown “controls” gave birth to 242 offspring. A pair that had been stimulated for one minute gave birth to 2,027 offspring, and a pair that had been stimulated for two minutes to 846. The stimulated cultures con tained animals that were not on more numerous but also lager than the “control-cultures.” Dr. Popoft thus succeeded in producing animals titat were more prolific and had big- ger cells than normal types. The fact that stimulation lasting for more than a certain period (in the case of the slipper animalcule for more than something between two and three minutes) showed inferior results proved that overstimulation was possible, and further experiments with animals and plants confirmed this. Dr. Popoff assumes that if the stim- ulating agent is applied in excessive quantities or for too long a time the renewal of oxvgen by means of the lateral respiratory chains cannot take place quickly enough so that a kind of asphyxiation sets in and vitality is reduced. Healing Human Wounds. Dr. Popoff also experimented with the Hydra viridis, a small green ani- mal, plainly visible to the naked eye and very common in ponds and ditches. He found that its injured tentacles were replaced much more vigorously when stimulated than: when left to heal by themselves. During the war he served in the Bulgarian Medical Corps on the Ma- cedonian front and applied his meth- ods of stimulation to human wounds. He had considerable success. He says an English prisoner, a surgeon named Armstrong, with whom he worked for a time, was astonished by the rapidity with which the wounds treated in this manner healed. But the chief work of Dr. Popoff has been on the stimulation of seeds. periments senic, copper, He is experimenting on a large scale |. at Oranienburg, near Berlin.. A num- ber of his disciples and pupils are also applying his methods.in Germany and Bulgaria. ‘T his egtats at Ordakeaburs plots of land sown with stimulated seeds (cereals, flax, cabbages, turnips, etc.) alternated with plots on which nor- mal “eontrol” crops are erowing. The difference between the two is very murked. The stimulated plants are much bigger, stronger, and even greener than the ‘“controls.” They are also more numerous, showing that of the seeds which would nor- mally fail to germinate some at least are saved by stimulation. Procedure Ix Simple. Dr. Popoff’s experiments are so far advanced that they can be ap- plied -practically on a large scale. The procedure is very simple. The seeds have to be soaked for a cer- tain number of hours in a weak solution of one or more of the chem- icals-already mentioned, many of these chemieals are very cheap, so that any farmer could. benefit by Dr. ; Popoft’s methods at a very small oitlay and with very little trouble.- Good results can be obtained with various solutions for different pe- riods of time according to the char- acter of the seed (wheat three hours, barley eight hours, rye three hours, maizge three and one-half hours, oats fen hours, rape two hours, flax one hour, hemp eighteen hours, clover elght hours, and so on). Dr. Popoff has been able to increase the- normal yield of wheat, barley, rye, maize, millet, vetches, turnips, rice; tobacco,—ete,, by 20,30, 40 .ol even 50 per cent,’or more. Tobacco seeds stimulated for two hours or five hours gave poor results, but those {ants have also treated stimulated for three hours grew into plants abnormally big and strong that rapidly overtook unstimulated plants sown earlier. They were also very hardy and less liable to be attacked by crytogamic diseases. The average increase in the yield was from 30 to 40 per cent. In the hilly ricts of Bulgaria it will now be p ble to sow thbacco ear- lier and to harvest early, thus avoid- ing the harm done by late summer droughts and autumn storms. Cotton Yield Increaned. Dr. Popoff's experiments with cot- ton have been continued by Draga- noff at Charmanli, in South Bulgaria, where there are big cotton plan- tations. Two decares (a decare is about one-quarter acre) were plant- ed on March 5. 1923, the one with tmulated seeds and the other with ontro eds. The former sprout- ed on April 10 and blossomed on June 27, having reached an average height of 1.5 meters: the latter sprouted on April 12 and blossomed on July 2 with an average height of only 90 centimters. The stimulated plants were also of a_deeper green, showing a greater ichness in_chlorophyil. The buds grammes in weight, as 90 grammes in the “‘¢on- Curiously enough it was the blossoms that ripened the more quickly. and there was little difference between the sizes of the individual seeds in each. But the fruit of the stimulated plants was larger and heavier. The net result was that the plot of stimulated plants yielded 123 kg. of raw cotton cluding the seeds) while the ‘con- trol” plot_yielded only 55 kg. Thus Dr. Popoff succeeded in increasing the yield of ordinary cotton plants by more than 100 per cent. Peasant Practices Justified. A few more results selected at ran- dom from the records of experi- ments carried out at Philopopolis and at Stara Zagora, in Bulgaria, may be summarised as follows. (The vary- ing figures for the yield from stim- ulated seed represents results obtain- ed by different solutions or by vary- ing periods of immersion. The yield in every case is given kgs. per de- care). At Philopopolis— Rice—Control seeds, lated seeds, 215, 244, 265 Turnips—Control seed: ulated seeds, 3,250, 3,625, 4,600. At Stara Zagora— Oats—Control seeds, 137; ed_seeds, 171, 183, 183, 2 Wheat—Control seeds, lated seeds 175, 190, 204. Here in Germany Gleisberg, apply- ing Dr. Popoff's methods, stimulated potato seeds with the result that the average yield an acre was 126 hun- dredweight 38 pounds, while the con- trol yielded only 95 hundredweight $6 pounds. The stimulated potatoes were bigger and richer in starch, and when examined last winter they were found to have more eyes. 01d Experiments. Dr. Popoff tells me that for cen- turies Bulgarian peasants have steep- ed their seed corn in liquid manure so as to increase the yield. They imagined that they were manuring the seeds, but in reality they were, without Knowing it, anticipating the work of Dr. Popoff himself, the liquid manure containing some of the chem- icals which he uses. Chinese peas- e seeds in the same way for centuries. Charles Darwin observed that peasants on the south coast-of England believed that grain salvaged from the sea gave a higher yield when sown than ordi- nary grain. In the light of Dr. Popofr’s experiments this belief would seem to be no more superstition. _— RUSSIANS LOSE FIGHT AT POSTAL CONGRESS Members Refuse Separate Votes for Each State in Soviet Union. By Cable fo The Star and “Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1924. ST—OCKHOLM August 8.—The eighth Universal Postal Congress in session here has turned down the applica- tion of Soviet Russia for four votes in the executive council, “ome for each of the autonomous: states that form the Federation of Soviet Rus- sian_Republics.” The argument of the Russian delegation was that so long as England and other countries with dominifons and colonies were en. titled to more than one vote, Russia was entitled {6 four, although Russia favored-only one vote for each coun- try represented. The local- Communist_organ com- ments on the incident as follow: “Democracy is an’unknown word at the International’ Postal Congress. This has been shown by the tactless and irrelevant criticlsms of Soviet Russia insinuated into the meetings by the French delegation. There has been some discussion as to how many votes each country should have. In 1920 Switzerland proposed one each, but England wanted one for each colony. When Russia asked one Vote for each of her four republics she was refused the extra votes, while England was given another vote for Ireland. The question was a political one and not a postal question, and the chairman of the congress, Gen. ‘Willlamson of England, supports anti-bolshevist policy.” - 162; stimu- 296, 306. 98; stim- 00, 4,100, stimulat- 155; stimu- (in- | When the Hon. Willlam Jennings Bryan steered the ship of state in the first vear of the Wilson administra- tion, his wife startled the social world by the announce- ment that she had for years made all the bread which her family con- sumed and she advised all wives who value the health of their lords to imitate her example. Now according to her friends, Mrs Charles W.

Mrs. Bryan, wife of the sovernor, has several times competed In bread contests and always with supreme success and her recipes for compounding the staff of life are fa- mous in all the prairie states. She likewise frequently gives several of her splendid loaves to bazaars or to fairs and they command a price which is usually given to cake. Mrs. Willlam Jennings Bryan was prone to advise her friends to begin bread making at the source of its excellence, that is, to make your own yeast and not to rely on the commer- cial produ But, it is said, Mrs. arles Bryan goes further than this in the science of having good bread, and has many things to say about the raising of wheat and the milling of flour and the varieties, which though looking like snow, are so manufactured that the most valuable food properties have been extracted. It opens a wide vista and a keenly interesting one and may resuit in a universal making of bread by good home keepers, as in_the day about a generation past. Washing. ton recalls many fine bread makers in the exalted circle of the past.

HUSBAND KIDNAPED CHILD, WIFE CLAIMS Says University of Oregon Teacher Snatched Baby From Front Porch. By the Associated Press BOSTON, August 9.—Will Goettling, said to be an instructor.at the Uni- versity of Oregon, last night kid- naped his 5-year-old daughter Elsie from the home of the mother, Mrs. Mabel Goettling, she told the police. According to the latter, her husband drove up in an automobile occupied by four other men, snatched the child from the porch and made off, despite her efforts to prevent his action. The Goettlings were married in New York seven years ago and_ had lived in Eugene, Oreg., until last May, when Mrs. Goettling came East fol- lowing a marital disagreement. She had begun divorce proceedings in the Massachusetts courts and had been given temporary custody of her daughter.
