Alumina comprises about 8 per cent of the earths crust. Iron is the next most abundant and comprises about 5ft per cent. Alumina is the basis of all day, which itself is produced by the spontaneous decomposition of granite and similar rocks. In a .free state, alumina occurs in the form of carborundum and is emery, the common kind used for polishing. Aluminum and oxygen mixed, together with a little foreign matter to add coloring, make artificial rubies and sapphires. The making of such compositions was one of the first uses of aluminum, states a ' writer in the Washington Star. A German scientist, Frederick Wochler, was the first to extract aluminum from the earth. De Ville, a French chemist, was the first to place the metal on a commercial scale, having undertaken experiments at the request of Napoleon ' III, emperor of France. Unable to produce the metal in large quanti- ties, commercial possibilities never went beyond the use of jewelry. For a half century chemists in many parts of Europe struggled to get the metal in large amounts out of the most abundant substance alumina. This struggle was ended February 10, 1866, through the genius of a chemically minded young Ameri- -' can, Charles Martin Hall, a student of Oberlin college. Hall conceived the idea of using electricity. He had learned that alumina could not be electrically isolated in the presence of water, and that it would not dissolve in any common solvent such as alco--! hoi, ether or benzol. j : : ; j ! j even to a man. Savage snarls and loud, explosive hissings pour from his mouth in a continuous volley when he is aroused. Ground squirrels, gophers, field mice and other small rodents form most of his food, and much of it he obtains by digging into the burrows of these small creatures, who are unable to dig themselves deeper at a sufficiently rapid pace to escape. Charivaris Date Far Back The origin of charivaris stretches back to the early Fourteenth century, so historians say. In those far distant days, a charivari was carried out in precisely the same way, except that it was meant to express disapproval rather than the approval it carries today. Chari-variswent masked in those days, and harassed people whose marriages didnt quite meet the laws of Second marriages and custom. marriages of people whose ages were far apart were the particular butts of the charivarist. ts Elephant Hanged From Derrick On September 13, 1916, in Erwin, Tennessee, a circus elephant named Mary, having killed three men, was hanged from a railroad derrick, observes a writer in Colliers Weekly. In the first attempt, which required two hours, the steel cable broke and the animal crashed to the ground. The second try, however, was successful and Mary met her "fitting end" before a crowd of 5,000 excited spectators. Bridge Towers Will Rise Out of Rhodesian Bush Salisbury, Rhodesia.

Australopithecus Transvaalensis, n whose remains were the recently discovered by Dr. Robert Broom in Sterkfontein caves, is the genuine missing link," in the opinion of Prof. W. K. Gregory, American anatomist, who has come to South Africa to study it. The expression missing link is an inaccurate one today, because Dr. Broom of the Transvaal museum has found it it is no longer missing,' said Professor Gregory. He added: I can already say without fear of contradiction that this form of Australopithecus combines in one individual features previously known in both apes and men. Combination of Both. It may turn out to be a complete man on the one hand or a complete ape on the other. Still, it shows a combination of features which we have in the past ordinarily associated with two distinct types." Professor Gregory studied casts and photographs of Dr. Brooms discovery before leaving America. But there is nothing like studying the original specimens, he said. For many years Professor Gregory, who is curator of comparative anatomy, anthropology and fishes at the American Museum of Natural History, New York, has been engaged in the stfldy of the origin of men and especially the comparative anatomy of human and anthropoid teeth. Dr. Brooms Australopithecus will be taken back for exhibition in the American Museum of Natural History. College Shows Oldest Known Copy of Gospel ALLENTOWN, PA. Muhlenberg college has in its historical collection a few tattered fragments of papyrus, covered with Greek characters only remains of the oldest known copy of the original New Testament. Through the Egypt exploration fund the manuscript was unearthed near the town of Oxrhyncus. It contains the inscription from Matthew 12, in which Christ said: Every kingdom divided against Itself is brought to dissolution; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. The college also has in its collection a Sixth .century amulet, owned by an early Christian, who used it as a charm against illness. The inscription on the amulet represents a crude cross, in the center of which is drawn a picture, believed to represent the owner. The inscription comprises verses from Matthew 4, in which the disciple says Jesus went about Galilee healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people." An early manuscript from Demosthenes oration on The False Embassy also is included in the collection. Prof. Robert C. Horn of Muhlenbergs Greek department explained the relics were given to the college by the Egypt Exploration fund in repayment for donations given by the college. . ten-poun- ' 49.000.- 000 Wheat Acres Forecast as 39-'4- 0 Need COLUMBUS, OHIO.

The eyes of Mrs. Margaret Carr, who died at 80 years, restored sight to Reverend U. E. Harding of Portland, Ore., and Arthur Morton, 21, a pianist of Sacramento, Calif. "I can see, Reverend Harding said when the bandages were removed. I can see your hand. I see colors. I know what you look like." He was still blind in one eye, but from the other he could see for the first time in 43 years. When surgeons took the dressing from Mortons eyes he stared for a moment at the face above him, then said, "Things are blurred. But I can see. Then he fainted. Morton lost his sight in 1932. The pair will resume their private lives, Harding returning to his pastorate in a Portland church, Morton resuming his study of piano. m I I Elephant Seldom Licked in Battle With Animals The story of the elephant is a story in superlatives. Not only is he the largest land animal, but careful checking of facts points to the elephant as the probable real king of beasts, according to Guy Jr., in the Chicago Tribune. There are few reports of his having been defeated in mortal combat by other creatures. He is almost invulnerable to attack and clever in his actions. Among his peculiar attributes are his trunk, which serves both as arm and nose; his great tusks, which have been known to attain a length of lift feet and to weigh 293 pounds; his pillarlike legs, which appear jointless us he stands erect; his thick hide, which gives him the name pachyderm, and his head, in which his smallish brain is protected by so many surrounding bony cavities that only a very carefully aimed bullet can reach it. Mur-chi- e, - Daniel Boone Born on Farm Montgomerys History of Berks County in Pennsylvania says: Daniel Boone, the famous Kentucky pioneer, was born in Exeter township, Berks county, on October 22, 1733, on a farm which is about one mile north of Baumstown. His father, Squire Boone, then owned and occupied the farm, having bought it in November, 1730. He and his father and family left the township in 1750 and migrated to North Carolina; and thence, some years afterward (1769), he led a party into the unknown regions of western Virginia, beyond the mountains, where he distinguished himself by his boldness, his experiences with the Indians, his narrow escapes and his successful career as a pioneer. He died at Charette Village in Missouri, on September 26, 1820, aged eighty - six years, eleven months, four days. The Blue Goose Until only a few years ago, the blue goose was generally looked upon as the mystery bird of the American ilyways. It traveled freely with snow geese, and in the fall flights was always associated with them. In the spring, the two species were often together, which caused bird people to conclude that the snow goose was nothing more than 10,000. Although American citizens are a blue goose grown up, according rarely regarded as foreigners in to a writer in the Detroit Free London, their numbers make them Press. the fourth largest foreign colony. i Broken Windows?

Mayas Interest in Gold Revealed by Earthquake It was once believed that the Mayas alone were among the ancient races that did not know the value of gold. Very little gold was found in their great ruined temples that vie for sun with the chicle trees in the Yucatan and Central American jungles, and although nuggets have been found lying near the sites of the southern Maya cities, the working of gold into jewelry and religious objects had not been considered part of their culture. When an earthquake broke open a temple at Copan, Honduras, and disclosed tombs filled with gold orna- ments, the Central Americans were placed in the same category with the Aztecs, Toltecs, and Peruvians of the Inca empire for appreciation of the yellow metaL In Old World annals, the story of mans quest for gold has been traced back to at least 2900 B. C. in Egypt, when under the first dynasty there occurred the first recorded washing of gold. It was not long be- fore man was aware that gold is to be found in practically all rows and in the sea water as well. It is fairly definite that the Mayas were in touch, commercially, with people of a somewhat similar culture in Costa Rica, who made the delicately carved gold frogs and butterflies that are in a New York collection. Little by little, notes a correspondent in the Detroit News, the theory is being established that the peoples of Central and South America carried on a flourishing international trade, not unlike that of later, times, and it seems probable that the gold found in the Maya country was an import from other shores.
