GAVE “SHOW” UNDER GUARD
Peculiar Expetie.»ce of American Mu
sical Comedy Company In the
City of Vladivostok.
A belated story of how an Ameri
can musical comedy company which
had volunteered to give an entertain
ment for the troops at Vladivostok
was caught in that city while the
“reds” held sway, has been received by
the Knights of Columbus from Garry
McGarry, who is In charge of the wel
fare activities of the order in Siberia.
The troupe was In charge of \V. H.
Bandvard and had come from China
to the Russian seaport, where they
were held up for several weeks await
ing a steamer.
During their stay, every one went
nround with a revolver, and the city
took on tile appearance of a western
“boom" town In pioneer days. During
the period the botshevists killed about
L’” persons, and many of the actors
hail narrow escapes. Several of the
women actresses had to tie taken to
and from the theater guarded by a
squad of allied soldiers, and at the
hotel where they stayed a guard was
constantly posted. However, the
American troupe “carried on” for the
doughboys amid all the panoply of war
and revolution. There were armed sol
diers inside the theater, outside, be
hind the scenes, and in the bos office.
All the audience brought their rifles
with them or carried side arms and
hand grenades.—Chicago Post
SCORPION ON BABOON’S MENU
Animal Seems to Consider Insect a Del
icacy and Consumes It With
Much Relish.
The chacma baboon of South Africa
Is very partial to certain kinds of ani
mal food—scorpions, spiders, centi
pedes. insects, lizards and the eggs of
wild birds all being eaten with relish.
The scorpion is evidently regarded
as a tidbit. If one is released near a
captive baboon, the latter will hold its
hand extended over the prey until a
suitable opportunity for attack of
fers. Then the hand will descend with
a sweeping slap, which is followed by
a swift, circular, rubbing motion. This
disables the scorpion, which is then
picked up and carefully examined un
til the sting is located. The latter is
then picked out between finger and
thumb and thrown away as far as pos
sible, after which the scorpion Is
munched with every appearance of
satisfaction.—William C. Scully, in At
lantic Monthly.
Harmless Superstitions.
Everybody is superstitious and gen
erally our superstitions are trivial and
do no harm. To carry a coin in the
pocket for luck; to comment about
seeing the moon over the left shoul
der, to refuse to walk under a ladder;
to believe that it Is bad luck to turn
back; to make a wish at the appear
ance of the first star of the evening; 1
to suppose it is not well to break a
mirror, which it isn’t well to do. hut
the point is, everybody is superstitious,
regardless of what lie says about it.
He may not really know that lie is su
perstitious; lie may be honest in be
lieving that lie is not. But the fact ,
remains that superstition was bred
into the race away back in the jungle,
where little was understood, where
importance was attached to the shape
of tlie clouds, where trees and stones
and mountains and rivers had a per
sonality—and we can't get it out of
tlie system.
An All-Nations Case.
.Tohn Pappas, a Greek, has been ar
rested on a charge of grand larceny.
Ha hid Heide, a Turk, wakes the ac
cusation. Heide had some Russian
money, how much he doesn't know. He
exchanged it for 100 English sover
eigns. An Italian friend introduced
him to Pappas, the Greek. A trip
through the Botanical gardens was un
dertaken. During the walk a man who
looked like a Swede and who talked ,
like a Swede appeared and assumed ,
the role of hold-up man. Pappas :
didn't help, said the Turk. Detective |
Ilagerty, an Irishman, arrested the
Greek. The preliminary hearing was
held next morning before a magis
trate who was born In Wale:* Vew
York Times.
Cuba Starts War on Rats.
The Cuban sanitation authorities
have undertaken a vigorous campaign
against the rat pest to prevent the
buhonie plague from entering Cuba.
Thousands of traps have been set
and every precaution is being taken.
Ships coming from ports’ under sus
picion will not be permitted to unload
at the wharves, but must discharge
their cargoes by means of lighters or
launches while anchored in tlie har
bor, thereby lessening the possibility
of plague-carrying rats reaching shore.
Ashes Make Good Fertilizers.
The technical authorities for the res
toration of France and Belgium an
nounce that they have discovered that
furnace ashes from glass, iron and
steel works stimulate vegetable growth
enormously through carbonic acid fer
tilization. All plant life is said to be
spurred to unusual growth. These ash
es may be applied to restoration of the
devastated districts.
Royal Railroad Engineer.
There is no cleverer locomotive en
gineer in Spain than the duke of Sara
gossa, a wealthy member of the
nobility, who is closely related to the
royal family. Since the unrest in
Spain has become so accentuated, each
time that King Alfonso journeys by
train the locomotive is conducted by
the duke. <
