Subterranean passages surpassing those of the catacombs of Rome lie beneath the streets of St. Paul, according to George M. Shepard, city engineer. The honeycomb of tunnels underlying the downtown district is made forpossible by an unusual geologic mation, Shepard said. The tunnels were constructed for use by utilities and sewer facilities. of the loop district About Is underlaid by a layer of limestone 8 to 12 feet thick, covered only beby 2 feet of earth. Directly is the limestone deep St. neath this Peter sandstone formation, which is easily tunneled Rnd remains for long periods without lining except in sewers and heat mains. The tunnels, Shepard said, lie from 20 to 75 feet beneath the surface of the street. In many cases they are communicating. The topmost layer, of tunnels about 20 feet beneath the surface is used by the St. Paul water department. Twenty feet beneath them are the tunnels of a telephone company. At increasing depths of about 10 feet are passages used by a power company and the St. Paul City Railway company. - Deepest tunnel system of them all is that of the large sanitary sewer interceptor, approximately 75 feet down. Most of the utility tunnels are from 2.5 to 3.5 feet wide, and arch to 6 or 7 feet in height. Cross B!t:n end Cov.-- s to Develop Hardier StoL. one-ha- lf , i McIntosh. S. p. A revel exwri ment in cattle raising is tak r place in the soulfc :rn port cf Car o ' county, where several liead of buffalo have been ij traduced ir.i' cattle herds in hope of developing a larger, sturdier type of beef ar t mal Ranchers from the Grand river area and south report that buffalo take charge of thlir herds of domesticated cattle, acting as caretakers, leading the cattle to water and back to feeding grounds. During recent severe winters, ranchers have observed that buifa'o accurately gauged approaching storms. When bullalo souglC shelter, a severe storm could be iVticipatcd, but if they remained tutsido, clear weather invariably vais probable. they explained. Buffalo members of these herds already have introduced new feeding habits to their bovine associates, ranchers say. During periods of deep snow, the buffalo buries its head in snowbanks searching for roots of grass. Lately, cattle have developed similar habits in foraging for buck brush. Raised as calves, the buffalo have been readily adopted into livestock herds. Offspring of bullalo and cattle are wider through the shoulders than domestic cattle. It is hoped if they can be raised successfully that ranchers will benefit from a new type of animal able to endure severe heat or cold. They point to the fact that this section of South Dakota once was the natural habitat for countless herds of buffalo that survived the worst winter known to pioneers, although man provided no food or shelter. I but it's their keen expression that makes a person wonder about their true disposition. Some people are timid in making friends with a dog and, due to that mistake, really cause the dog to become a bit wary. In rare cases children are bitten by dogs. This is due to the child's easy manner in approaching and fondling them. Of course, in an instance where a child actually beats or taunts a dog, the animal will resent it and snap at the young offender. It is always well to bear in mind that, to make friends with a dog, the best way. is to let the animal see you. Walk up slowly to the dog and offer the back of your closed fist, advises a 'writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer. In a second the dog will sceni you ar.d make you his new friend. The reason for the closed fist is practical. Should the dog be high strung and snap at you, the bite will not tear at the fleshy portion of your offered hand. Massive dogs, such 'as Irish Wolf- hounds, Great Danes, Mastiffs, Newfoundlands and St. Bernards may loom as giants to be avoided, but they're the easiest to. make friends with. All of these appear to have a menacing expression upon their approach; but this is only a mask hiding their gentle disposi- tions. You can make friends with these big fellows in easy fashion. The es- sentials necessary are a few words and gentle patting around the head. The larger the dog, the quicker they will relax and receive your fondling. soft-spok- herd-leade- rs I First Job of Radio Car Is Finding Stray Horse Revere, Mass. The first assignment for the new radio cars of the Revere police department was to recover a stray horse. Cruising on a test run, Patrolmen Larry Duggan and Herbert Zlinino sighted a work horse browsing in a field. Securing the animal, they took to the ether waves to inform headquarters of their find and to request instructions. Headquarters, not yet versed in the niceties of solving police problems over the air, went into a huddle. After a number of stand bys' and hurried telephone calls, an owner was located for the wandering beast. The radio car returned to headquarters with its first expert ence, and minus a coil of rope used to tether the horse. en Elephant Lives Longest t Reptiles Qatlive Birds When you see an elephant trudging along in the circus, think for a second. That old fellow may have been playing in the jungle during the retreat from Moscow in 1812.

They operate the Arcade & Attica railroad, one of the most unusual in the United States. Or.e train is run daily between Arcade and Attica, a stretch. The railroad is 100 years old, but when private management threatened to abandon it, the farmers along the line pooled their resources and purchased the entire system and equipment. 26-mi- le Wvrt j. of Beautiful cf Archeologists. Another gem of Australian legendthe true ary lore was exploded with received Govett's how Leap cf story its name, says a writer in the New York Herald Tribune. William Romaine Govett wal supposed to be a bushranger bf the Sixties Who ro&med the hills and Vfellejr, murdered police and trackers in the bush, plundered on the highways and robbed banks and taverns in the townships. His career supposedly ended when he was cornered near the falls by the police, and, preferring death to surrender, he jumped over the falls. But that is not the true story. Govett Joined the surveying Staff in New South Wales under the surveyor general in 1827. He surveyed much of the wild terrain lying between the Grose and the junction of the Capertee and Colo rivers, and from Springwood to Mount York. While he was attached to a working party in the Blue mountains he Jumped across one of the ravines or Chasms. When he related his experience to Sir Thomas Mitchell he was complimented on his pluck and told that the spot would be called Govetts Leap. After serving several years on the surveyor generals staff Govett returned to England, where he died in 1848. Popular imagination readily take! in a tale so full of spirit and adventure as that woven around Govetts Leap, and so the bushranger epic Was evolved. A visitor to the falls is struck by the wild beauty of the place. Situated near Blackheath on the saddle of the Kanimba and Grose valleys, the falls are in rough and barren country surrounded by a rugged tangle of gorges, ridges and unfathomable chasms, with precipitous and craggy sides in every direction. Washington, D. C. Mount Vesuvius has been in eruption again, and although the outburst did no damage to the surrounding Counlava and illumitryside, its red-hnation of lha sky served as a reminder that the volcano is still a potential menace. It may yet undo all the work of archeologists at Pompeii. Destroyed by Vesuvius on August 24, 79 A. D., and covered more deeply by subsequent eruptions, Pompeii remained buried and forgotten for centuries," says the National Geographic Society. Its ruins were discovered by accident in 1594 during the tunneling for an aqueduct. Life in First Century. Extensive digging was begun in 1743, but chiefly to recover and sell art objects. Not until 1360 Was any attempt madq to preserve for the future the city's Valuable revelations of life ia the First century. In the newer excavations, pieces of furniture, sculpture, and household utensils tee being left for exhibition in (he houses where they were found. ''Formerly Such treasures were carried off to the National museum in Naples. This museum furnishes en excellent for the excavations themselves. It presents a fascinating picture of the daily life of Pompeii nearly 1.C30 years ago a city destroyed, but at the same time preserved by ashes and cinders from flaming Vesuvius. On display are charred loaves of bread, wine and oil jars, and surgical instruments in use among Pompeians when the eruption stopped them in their tracks. Fifteen miles frpm Naples, Pompeii lies about a mile from the foot vold of the smoking, cano. Visitors usually receive two surprises. Expecting to see only a few ruined houses, they are unprepared for the many buildings which are closely built for block after city block. Pompeii is almost two miles in circumference: At the time of its burial, it was not only a flourishing commercial center, but a fashionable resort for wealthy Romans. Cicero had a villa there. ; It had a population of between twenty and thirty thousand. Approximately 2,000 Pompeians perished in the catastrophe. Lived Much in Public. Most of the houses are roofless, their roofs having been crushed in by the weight of the volcanic stones, or having been salvaged as building material by returning survivors soon after the eruption of 79 A. D. Many of the walls are still standing, however. Frescoes on some of them are almost as fresh as if painted yesterday instead of nineteen centuries ago. The second surprise one receives is that the houses seem so small. That is because Pompeians lived the greater part of their lives in public: out of doors in gardens ar.d open air theaters, indoors in temples and baths. Preferring the public baths, few people had private ones in their homes. A typical home had only one story, or rarely, a low second story in which slaves slept Its small bedrooms, store rooms, and larger reception rooms opened from a central hall, which provided light and air through an opening in its roof. At the back of the house, colonnaded rooms enclosed a garden. One of the best preserved Pompeian homes is the house of the Veitii. Its red and black frescoes include the famous Cupids at work and play, reproduced on the po3tcnrds usually sent from Pompeii. The buildings may soon be thronged with visitors at night as well as by day. Experiments in floodlighting the ruins are in progress. This illumination is part of Italy's program for bringing the 'dead city' to life." ot pre-vie- w saddle-shape- . Williamsport, Pa. An unsealed tomb in a near-b- y Wildwood cemetery is the silent witness to an amazing story of a man who lived in fear of being buried alive. Inside the weird stone mausoleum, covered only by a blanket, is the body bf Thomas Pursell, Williamsport fireman, who passed eighteen months building his tomb so he could escape should he awake after burial. Beside the body is a hammer and two boards, the implements which Pursell will use to gain freedom if he revives in the next two months. Air circulates through the vault by a series of ventilators. If he does not arise within the next sixty days, however, the tomb will be sealed permanently. Order now while our Stoc is Complete.

Utah Was First Settled by Company of Mormons Utah was first settled permanently by a company of Mormons Latter-Da- y Saints under the leadership of Brigham Young in 1847. The migration began in April from what is now Florence, Neb., and there were 148 persons in the first company. In the following year the land became part of the United States and was organized as the Territory of Utah. Immigration from the East Was systematically carried on by the Mormons with wagon trains, the opening of the Union Pacific railroad In 1860, says the Detroit News. The attitude of the Mormon Church to polygamy delayed admission of Utah to statehood until 1896, some years after that church hat abandoned polygamy. The state is tenth in area and was fortieth in population in 1930. The Latter Day Saints form a large part of the population. Utah is rich in mineral resources; in 1935 her gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc production exceeded Chief farm crops are wheat, oats, potatoes, alfalfa, sugar beets, while there is also a large livestock industry, with a big wool production. The state has a low percentage of illiteracy; the Mormon church maintains the Brigham Young university at Provo, while the state University of Utah is in Salt Lake City.

D. 1172, there were 78 kings of Ireland and, on.tha average, they reigned only 6 Mi years. Of these 78 Irish monarchs, 51 died a violent death, four became monks and one died on pilgrimage at Joppa. Fourteen Irish kings were slain in battle and 21 were assassinated, usually by their successors. Nor were the assassinations polite, asserts a writer in the Kansas City Star. One monarch was thrown into a lake and drowned, another was choked in a bog, a third had a spear thrust through his eye, another was poisoned by his sister, another such was the Irish etiquette was suddenly set upon by three unruly nephews. Three kings were killed by thunderbolts. One of them had fled for safety to the Alps. But the thunderbolt got him, A. D. 421. Even the great King "a prince of most excellent, wisdom who kept the most splendid court that ever was in Ireland, was choked by the bone of a fish at supper, A. D. 253.

Hence alligators are frequently accused of attacking and killing men when, in reality, the killers are crocodiles. Naturalists who have spent their lives in the study of these reptiles, says Colliers Weekly, state that they have never heard of an authentic case of a human death caused by an al- ligator. son's London Weekly.

Flowers of Heaven Japanese flower arrangement is an accomplishment every girl in Japan learns along with her regular education. The manner of arranging a bouquet is symbolic in that country. Flowers represent "heaven," earth, and "man to the Japanese. There are always these three divisions in every Japanese bouquet. Heaven" is the tallest flower, "man," the next size and earth the shortest. Man is placed in the center between heaven and earth, because he is Influenced by both. The nly Alliance The Holy Alliance was an alliance ostensibly for conserving religion, justice, and peace in Europe, but used for repressing popular tendencies toward constitutional government, entered into by Alexander I of Russia, Francis I of Austria, and Frederick William III of Prussia, at Paris, on September 26, 1815, and subsequently joined by all the sovereigns of Europe except the pope and the king of Great Britain. It ended after the revolution of 1830 in France. ld Tirc$tonc AUTO SUPPLV 1 SERVICE STORES Broadway and 2nd East |
