following the firing of a shot although
this may be mere conjecture Hepor:
also states that he yelled sails foi

Mr. Larson, owing to the latter being
too far away. Further report • ia to th«
effect that the last seen of tWe tmfor*

the third member of the party.. That
Mr. Wilson might possibly b? clinging
to the canoe or that be might have
landed on a bar were undoubtedly tbs
i two reasons which impelled Mr. Larson
to make all baste down river. *in the
hope that he still might be able.to rea

A searching party left MeCrubh late

Chicago.--Harold G. O. Hoick,
, years old> today started a fast whicl
, (will last two rears. He will diet, eat
log ealy wibeo -hungry, and* then par
( ,taking of .very little food. A mediea!
student himself, Hoick is interested ic
, seeing how mack food is actually need
ed for keen thinking.
“I will pay no attention to ordinary
meal schedules,” Holek-said. ••Every
ounce I eat will be measured, aeatal
teste will be givun to me to see how ac
curate I am at multiplication examples,
puzzle problems and typewriting ao
cttracr.. -
For the past two yeers Holok haa car
ried a folding scale with him to deter
mine how much food he normally ate.
Mental tests taken during this period
showed his normal efficiency and men
tality. Heavy meals being taken dur
ing the two years, he will take the
.same tests and compare hia efficiency
while fasting to his efficiency while
[ gormandicing. At the end of the two
i year period the ideal ration for man
kind may be worked out. Hoick said.
Ancient City Laid

Mexico City.—An ancient city of
large extent was discovered during ex
cavations last week ai/Ixtlao. in south
ern Mexico, near the Pacific Objects
of stone and pottery were found deeply

dicating great age.- All figures exca
vated have docided Mongolian eves
and features of dress strange'to Mex

god, similar to those found ic the val^
ley of Mexico*,' indicate that the ancient
city was the center of extensive £re
worship. ^
It does not pav to be facetious- er
dangerously ironic with juries. A
lawyer proseouting ae obviously guilty
man, a burglar who had been caught
red branded on the roof of a house,
wound up> his address-to the jury as
follows:.
“IT yoa consider, gentlemen, that the
accused was on the roof for the purpose
of enjoying the midnight breeze and by
pure accident happened to have about
him the necessary tools of a house
breaker, with-no dishonest intention of
employing them, you will, of course,
acquit him.”
And the jury did.—The Continent
