Show i- - THE RICH COUNTY NEWS, RANDOLPH, UTAH run wild, like the wild asses of Mesopotamia.' The Maya Indians, some of whom still carry bows and arrows, Inhabit the flat costal plain south of the Yaqul region along the River Maya. Excellent laborers, peacefully inclined, many of the Mayas are trusted helpers on American ranches and plantations. Most of the brands of wild men are fairly familiar to the show-goin- g American public. The head hunter, the Pygmy, the Bushman and his boomerang, are all old circus acquaintances. But within 700 miles of chaste and classic Los Angeles, there dwells a lost tribe of savages whose very name is known to but few of us; for this tribe has never been tamed, uplifted, or even exhibited. Yet it is older, perhaps, than the Aztecs; it may even be the last living fragment of the American aborigines. The Seris, these strange people are called, and they inhabit a lonely, evil rock called Tiburon (Shark) island that lifts its hostile head from the hot, empty waters of the Gulf of California. And all down this coast the name of Tiburon is spoken with a shrug of the shoulders, for these Seris are thieves and killers. It is even whispered that long ago they were cannibals. -- 4 BESSARABIA: SHAPED LIKE A PITCHER WITHOUT A HANDLE ' Rouhiania, since the conclusion of the World war, the largest of the states of southeastern .Europe, owes much of this Increased area to its recent annexation of Bessarabia, previously a part of Russia. Bessarabia, the former Russian province lying between the Pruth and the Dniester rivers, and bounded on the south by the Danube and the Black sea, might be likened in shape to a tall, slim pitcher, without a handle. It is completely bounded by water except at a very narrow point at the mouth of the pitcher. The Dniester river forms the eastern boundary of the province. Flowing out of the crown lands at Galicia, the river runs east in general direction for approxiThen it turns mately fifty miles. southeast for ninety miles to Dniester bay, a( arm of the Black sea, some fifteen . miles from Odessa, Russia's principal port on that Inland body of water. The Pruth river, flowing out of Galicia, runs east for about twenty miles, then turns southeast for a hundred and ten miles, and then slight! west of south to its confluence with the Danube. Bessarabia Is a little smaller than Vermont and New Hampshire together. Its greatest length is 275 miles, while its greatest width is 175. It is mostly flat, except for some of the Carpathian mountains in the northwest. It might be said to be the vineyard of Russia, being a great producer of wine. The population of 2,500,000 Is made up of Little Russians, Poles, Moldavians, Roumanians, Bulgarians, Jews, Armenians, Greeks, and Tartars. More than 2,000,000 of the Inhabitants live on the soil. The capital is Kishinef, which Is located almost at the center of the province. To the west of Bessarabia lies Roumanian Moldavia, and to the east the Russian province of PodoUa and Kherson. The original Inhabitants of Bessarabia are believed to have been Cimmerians, after whom came the Scythians. Because it was the key to one of the approaches toward the empire of Byzantium, the province was invaded by many successive races during the early centuries of the Christian era. Trajan Incorporated It with the province of Dacia, and in the next century the Goths poured into it, to be followed in turn by the Huns, and Avars, and the Bulgarians. In the seventh century a Thracian tribe, known as the Bessl, settled there and gave to the land its name. Between 1711 and 1812 It was the great boue of contention between the Ottoman Turks and the Russians. The Russians lost and recaptured it five times in that century. After the Napoleonic wars, it was definitely annexed to Russia, and- - its frontier pushed southward so as to include the delta of the Danube. As a result of the Crimean war, Moldavia was given Dobrudja and other "territory, but under the treaty of Berlin in 1878, following Russias mastery of Turkey and the congress of Berlin, Russia secured all of the territory east of the river Pruth. Bessarabia rema'ic; a part of Russia from that time until the dismemberment of the czars empire, following re Russian revolution. - well-wood- ts MEXICO: A MODERN BABEL President Obregon, who has just been installed as chief executive of the Republic of Mexico, rules over a population of many tongues. This multiplicity of languages Is not due to wholesale immigration as in the Unit- ed States, but to a failure to "Mexi-canlz- e a large part of the Indian population. The causes of many of the revolutions which have disturbed the progress of Mexico can be traced to this diversity of tongues and the differences in thought and ideals that necessarily follow. From Sonora to Yucatan, more than fifty separate dialects are spoken, writesj Frederick SImpich in a communication to the National Geographic society. All the inhabitants of the West Coast, however, with the exception of some hill tribes of Indians can understand Spanish. Of these Indians the 8,000 Yaquis, with their crude Bacatete hill forts, their weird ceremonial masque dances and their warlike attitude, are easily most conspicuous. Many are enlisted with the federal army or employed as ranch hands and mine or railroad laborers. The Yaquis with the federal troops are termed Manzos, or tame Yaquis; those In the hills, wild and hostile, are the Bronchos. The latter are a vagrant lot, robbing ranches for food and animals, carrying rawhide drums and water gourds, wearing sandals of green cowskin living by their wits. Pressed by hunger, they subsist as well on burros as beef. - These burros, the short and simple animals of the poor, thrive by the thousand on the West Coast Many EUGENICS AND OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS Recognition by congress that immigration constitutes one of the greatest of the after-wa- r problems of the United States makes timely a suggestion in regard to controlling the great influx of foreigners to this country, advanced by Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, In a communication to the National Geographic society. Why should not congress provide, for an ethnical survey of the people of the United States, he asks. We should have definite and relb able information concerning those foreign elements which are beneficial to our people and those which are harmful. The problem of improving a race of human beings is a most perplexing one to handle. The process of improvement must be slow where the forces concerned act from within and are not amenable to control from without. Under the best conditions it would require several generations to produce sensible results; but In the United States we have, In the new blood introduced from abroad, an important means of improvement that will act more quickly, and that Is eminently susceptible to control. All the nations of, the world have been contributing elements to our population; and we have now, and now only, the opportunity of studying the process of absorption before it is complete. The grand spectacle is presented to our eyes of a new people being gradually evolved in the United States by the mingling together of the different races of the world In varying proportions. It 14 of the greatest conse-- ' quence to us that the final result should be the evolution of a higher and nobler type of man in America, and not deterioration of the nation. To this end the process of evolution should be carefully studied, and then controlled by suitable immigration laws tending to eliminate undesirable ethnical elements, and to stimulate the admission of elements assimilated readily by our population, and that tend to raise the standard of manhood here. HOW STEEL IS MADE In the two years since the end of hostilities in the World war, the countries suffering most from the conflict have been importing steel to the extent that their finances will permit; for this substance Is needed to patch the industrial injuries inflicted by the war. Some of the important methods employed in the making of steel are described In the following communication to the National Geographic society, by William Joseph Showalter: h An furnace looks a good deal like an ordinary bake-ovebut when one looks In through the water-coole- d door, a vast difference Instead of pans of fraappears. grant, fat loaves of baking bread, there is an Imposing pool of fiery liquid as bright as the filament of a tungsten lamp, so dazzling that it can be examined with .safety to the eyes only by those using colored glasses. Tinted here and there with streaks of soft blue and dainty pink, It looks like melted stick candy. of , In preparing a battery furnaces for a charge, dolomite is shoveled in first This melts like glass and fills up all cracks and crannies caused 'by the powerful heat of the preceding charge. Then a little train rolls up before the battery,, and an electric crane dumps box after box of scrap metal from the oars into the furnaces. Off some distance is a great steel tank lined with firebrick and full of liquid pig metal. When the scrap has melted and the contents of the cauldron are cooked enough ; when the impurities have been driven out and tolled away, the fiery broth is '.seasoned, as it w(ere, with the proper amount of carbon, spiegel, ferromanganese, tungsten, vanadium, or whatever is necessary to give the desired character to the resulting steel. Then comes the tapping of the furnace. An electric crane lifts a great ladle Into position, a workman jams hole a crowbar through a at the base, and out flows the frenzied stream into the ladle. The slag rises to the top like oil on water and overflows, congealing on the outside of the ladle. Then the big crane picks open-heart- high-pow- clay-plugg- open-heart- h finely-groun- d np the ladle, swings It over to the pouring platform, where It, In its turn, is tapped and Its purified fluid run off into molds. Great care has to be taken in handling these ladles, for the presence of a few drops of moisture when the hot metal Is poured Into one might cause an explosion and loss of life Just before they receive the molten metal the ladles are heated nearly white hot In order that the steel or iron may not chill in them. As fast as they are filled the ladles are swung out 'over the ingot molds and the liquid steel is run Into them and allowed to cool and take Its solid form. It is as if water were poured Into molds and set In a refrigerating machine to freeze into blocks of ice. The only difference is that the freezing point of steel Is away above the boiling point of water. There are two other. Important types of steel furnaces the crucible furnace and the electric-- f urnace. In both of them the idea Is to keep all hurtful gases and other Impurities out and to regulate the addition of alloys and oxygen destroyers to a nicety. In a crucible furnace the metal Is placed In graphite clay pots, covers are put over them, and the pots subjected to Silica is gradually abgreat beat. sorbed out of the clay In the pots and transformed Into silicon by coming Into contact with the carbon in the steel. The silicon in Its turn absorbs the oxygen and thus quiets the frothing. foaming contents of the kettle. The electric furnace acts In much the same way; Its heat being so pure that there is no necessity of putting the steel in covered pots to keep out gases and other impurities. An electric arc,, established between huge electrodes and the surface of the slag, produces the heat In such a furnace. By varying the materials used in the formation of the slag any Impurity can be worked off and the glowing steel left as pure as crystal. The" alloys are then mixed with the steel and it Is made fit for any use desired. It is drawn" off into ladles and poured into Ingot molds, where it hardens, ready to be worked up into those things' that constitute be last word in fine steel. THE TRAGEDY OF ARMENIA The plight of Armenia about the end of 1919, a condition which has been aggravated by the recent defeat of Armenian forces by Turkish nationalists, is described in the following communication to the National Geographic society from MelvtUe Chater. "Erivan, the capital of Armenias provisional republic Is an inconceiv-- ' able contrast to the Georgian government seat at Tiflis. At Erivan one finds no spacious prospect nor viceregal palace, no smart shops, Russian opera, nor gay night life. To behold misery in Tiflis, one must search it out. In Erivan one cannot escape it. This poor, straggling, dingy city of the plains, whose government offices suggest some hastily extemporized election headquarters and whose parliament chamber Is rigged up with benches and cheesecloth in' the auditorium of the second-clas- s theater, boasts of but one beauty, and that to speak iq paradox is forty miles away; for, in whatever quarter of Erivan you may be, lift your glance and great Ararat of eternal snows is seen brooding distantly over the mean streets with his aspect of majestic calm. He Is- - the Armenians Olympus, or rather say, the Sinai of a race which has known ; and wilderness-wanderin- g bondage and for centuries a peoples imagination has turned toward him. The little Erivan republic has been the center of refuge for Turkish Armenians ever since the massacre of 1915, and between 200,000 and 300,-00-0 of them are camped within its borders. As for the city Itself, Its former population of 40,000, has been doubled by this Influx. There, starvation and typhus have claimed their toll of 9,000, the death rate fluctuating between fifty and eighty a day. Though the doctor and I were here to observe the worst phases of the situation, each of us waited for the other to suggest a trip to the Igdlr region, where we were told starvation ' was most acute. The town of Igdlr, with Its local rand near-b- y populations of 30,000 Armenians, 20,000 Tatars, and 15,000 Yezidis, revealed same squalid streets with but a few people seated here and there, as we drove in. Throughout those tortuous, byways, no children played and no animal roamed. The air was heavy with dreadful silence, such as hangs over -- n plague-smitten- r communities. as "We found the children, such they were, inhabiting an orphanage wherein one sickened at putridity's horrible odor, and were informed that there were neither medicines nor disinfectants wherewith to allay the condition of the many little sick beds. Sick? Say, rather, the a word which more justly describes crone-lik- e those tiny, withered-up- , creatures, upon whose faces the skin seemed stretched to a drumhead's tightness ; whose peering eyes shot terror and anguish, as If deaths presence were already perceptible to them, and who lay there at famines climax exhaustion. oil physical In those young, yet grotesquely-age- d faces, we seemed to see a long lifetime of tragedy packed into eight or ten childish n years. The mud tuts which we visited presented an Invariable picture a barren, cave-lik- e Interior, lacking one stick of furniture or household utensil, and with a few bleached bonea scattered here and there, HONORED NAME IN MEDICINE Henry Detwller, Native of Switzerland, the First to Practice Homeopathy ' In America. Among the first, If not the first, to successfully practice homeopathy In America was Henry Detwiler, who was born in Langenbruck, Switzerland, December 18, 1795. He studied medicine a number of years before he came to this country on a vessel containing 400 French refugees who left their country after the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was appointed ship physician, and successfully treated an epidemic of dysentery which had broken out during the passage. Coming to Pennsylvania, lie settled In the Lehigh Valjey, and gained, prominence by treating a large number of people who were attacked wlth'a mysterious disease which he finally diagnosed as bilious colic, resulting from eating apple butter. He early made a study of the system of medicine founded by Hahnemann, and in 1828 dispensed the first remedy in Pennsylvania, in accordance with the law of similars, and during the remainder of his life w as a devoted homeopathist. Doctor Detwller formed an intimate acquaintance with Hahnemann, who gave him a wonderful reception in Paris, where he met other noted physicians and scientists. He gave many natural history specimens to various colleges, founded an iron industry and finally died at the advanced age of ninety-two- . Chicago Journal. HILL 60 BOUGHT BY BREWER Hotel May Be Erected on Ground in France That Will Hold Immortal Memories. Hill 60, whose record is written in British hearts with the blood of her young army, has been sold to a brewer. It is expected, says the London Times, that a hotel will be erected there. From battleground of immortal memory to hostelry Is a fate which may be deplored, but it is possible, even probable, that by an enterprise however foreign to sentiment, all that Is associated with the place may be , preserved. v Hill 60, sacred with the memories of Loos and of many a subsequent resurgence of the tide of battle, consecrated as few other spots of earth have been by repeated baptisms of heroic blood, long ceased to be a hill. It was held, as one commanding officer reported, geographically, though its military value had been utterly destroyed. The hill Itself was blasted to dust long before the struggles for its possession had ended. Its name will endure as long as British history, and It is perhaps as well that a monument should mark the site of so many heroisms, even if the monument presents a commercial aspect. Pueblo-Typ- e Cottages Are Cement All the quaint charm of the old pu- eblo style of architecture Is preserved In concrete in a series of little cottages now under construction in Mony rovia, Cal. The buildings are most remarkable for their complete use of cement, woodwork being practically eliminated. Even the roofs are concrete, and the doors are made of magnesite, according to an illustrated article in the January Popular Mechanics Magazine. The poured walls, five Inches thick, inclose a web of waterproofing material, while the cement floors are stained In Spanish-leatheffect, waxed and polished. The little structures are wholly fireproof, and easy cleaning is assured by the absence of moldings, casing and baseboards. Inclosed courts off the kitchen and sleeping chambers, partly roofed and partly 'screened, provide outdoor protection and privacy. one-stor- -- UTAH BUDGET WEEKLY MARKETGRAM -- er Making Pictures Popular.
