MAMMOTH CAVE LONG FAMOUS
was Bean Acknowledged One of tho
World's Wonders, Practically
Since the Year 1809.
The most famous cavern in America
is Mammoth cave, in Kentucky. writes
“Niksah” in the Chicago Daily News.
Mammoth cave was an old Indian ref
uge. and the story of redskin adven
tures is written plain in the skeletons.
tomahawks and reed torches that have
been found in the cavern depths.
Then, in 1809, a white man, a pioneer
hunter. followed a wounded bear into
the mouth of the great cave. and from
that time on Mammoth cave became
in American estimation .the eighth
wonder of the world.
Almost as soon as the white man
discovered the cavern he began to
make practical use of it. Long before
the era of Indian possession hats had
inhabited the cavern halis and in the
course of time their skeletons had ac
cumulated on the floor. especially
near the entrance. These skeletons.
containing nitrate. played an impor
tant part in the war of 1812, for
nitrate, so needed for making explo
sives, was scarce in the colonies and
the Mammoth cave becameUthe main
source of supply.
When the country settled down to
a period of comfortable prosperity.
Mammoth cave became, even more
than it is today. a great show place
of America. The cave’s history is told
in the names of the various rooms and
galleries. Jenny Lind and other artists
visited the cave and sang or played
the airs that had made them famous
in “Ole Bull’s Concert Hall” or other
cavern corridors. -In a room since
named “Booth’s Amphitheater.” Edwin
Booth was inspired to declaim some
of the lines of Hamlet before a small
and select audience. '
FIND UPAS TREE VALUABLE
Natives of Java Procure Ready-Made
Clothing From Its Branches,
With Little Effort.
One of the strangest myths Is that
which concerns the “deadly upas tree”
of Java, whose pplsonous exhalations
wé'i-e‘fb‘fmeny ane‘géd 'to kill any ni‘éin
or animal that ventured into its neigh
borhood.
. Doubtless it had its origin in some
traveler’s tale, for the tree in ques
tion—rather widely distributed in
southern and southeastern Asia—has
no terrors for the natives of these
countries. who, on the contrary, find
it extremely useful.
It is the only kind of tree in the
world that produces ready-made cloth
ing. The inner bark is a natural cloth,
only requiring the removal of the soft
cellular stuff in order to render it avail
able for use. A cylindrical section of
it from a small branch will furnish a
leg for a pair of trousers or an arm
for a coat. while from a bigger branch
the body of the garment is obtained.
Copyright Acts.
The first act providing for the copy
right of books and other publications
in the United States was passed 129
years ago. The term of copyright was
then fixed at 14 years. with the priv
ilege of renewal for 14 years longer.
In 1811 the period was extended to
28 years and providing for a renewal
for 14 years. For nearly a hundred
years' after the passing of the first
copyright law the protection was ex.
tended only to citizens of the United
States. In England a similar injus
tice was practiced upon Americans, al
though the British government did
permit foreigners to take out 'a copy
right, provided their work was first
published in England and the author
was at the time of publication any
where within the British dominions.
International copyright conventions
now exist between nearly all nations.
The first copyright act in England was
passed in 1709. giving protection for
14 years and for the author's life if
then living. In 1814 the English law
was amended by extending the period
to 28 years. -
Gem of Laughter.
Laughter. we are told by all author
ities on the human emotions, springs
from a sense of satisfaction and su
periority in the iaugher over the
laughee. if we may coin the word for
the occasion. TheParisflose Rouge
publishes a hitherto unprinted essay
on, laughter. by Stendahl. in. which the
following definition occurs: ‘
_ “What islaughter‘: , It..is a succes
sion of pulmonary spasms accompa
nied by a peculiar facial expression
which is so familiar that I need not
describe it and by a pleasurable sen
sation around the chest.
“This physical state arises from a
sudden inspiration to compare our
own worth with someone else’s and
resulting in a verdict favorable to our;
selves. Laughter thus arises from the
sudden reeOgnition of our own sue
periority." _ ‘

DIME NOVELS COMING BACK
In Eighteen Months “Nick cartern
l-las Had Sales That Have Been
Record Breaking.
Nick Carter has come into his own
again. The king of the “paperbacks"
has made a record-breaking return to
popularity. About eighteen months
ago his sales began to mount steadily
until the entire supply of Nick Carter
books was exhausted. sa‘ys the Sun.
His return to fame was unexpected.
It was not the result of an advertis
ing campaign. for the publishers of
the paper-bound books do not adver
tise. They depend instead for the
sale of their books on the lists printed
in the back pages of each volume.
And Nick Carter was not the only
member of the “paperback" tribe to
return. All the old favorites—Laura
Jean Libbey. Bertha M. Clay. Mrs. E.
D. E. N. Southworth and Augusta J.
Evans—have “come back" surpris
ingly.
Five Years ago everyone was will
ing to predict that the movies had
killed the production of cheap books.
Thrills could be absorbed more quick
ly from the screen than from the print
ed page—and the price was the same.
Publishers ”of the paper hooks are
uncertain whether their old reading
public has tired of the motion picture
or whether anew class of readers has
arisen. or one thing they are certain.
though. the demand for the 10 and 15-
cent book has increased fourfold. If
it were not for the increased cost of
production these publishers would be
reaping the harvest of their lives.
Stories of American life—as seen by
Bertha M. Clay and other writers of
her class—and detective stories are
most in demand. . Fort'une-telling
books and letter writers also have a
large steady sale. “Dream" books
were never so popular as they are to
day. their publishers say.
PETE HAD OBEYED ORDERS
Literal-Minded Soldier ,Came Near Get
. ting His Commanding Officer
Into a Bad Mess.
There is a certain young officer who.
according tahis- owustory. urinating
his stars that General Pershing had a
sense of humor;
“Some of my men were Polish. and
better soldiers never lived. but I guess
in Poland life has been one long. sad
story,” said the ofilcer. “Anyway. I
never ran across a bunch who took
things so literally. One night the Gen
mans sent out a three-inch shell that
landed square in the trench. In the
morning I told one of my men. Pete,
we called him. to take it away. ‘
“ ‘Where shall I take it?’ he asked.
“ ‘Oh, anywhere,’ I answered peev
ishiy, “put it to bed in Pershing’s
tent.‘ -
“A little later a brother oflicer came
along and said:.‘The old man wants
you. and there’s something doing.’
“I couldn’t imagine what was up nn~
til I stood before the chief. He eyed
me sternly and then pointed to his
bilnk. and would you believe it. there
was that blamed shell. Pete sure had
obeyed orders. Well. I thought I was
in for it, but Pershing suddenly he
gan to smile. He said: ‘I just want to
caution you not to order Pete to cap
ture Berlin until the rest of us are
ready to go with him. He might go
and do it. you know.’ ”—Rehoboth

All That Affected Her.
That the Empress Eugenie is not
prone to brood sentimentaily over the
past is evidenced by an. incident that
occurred some years ago. She visited
Windsor castle, a palace in which in
the golden days of the empire she was
received as an honored guest. Those
who accompanied her on this second
visit hovered near her. fearing that
she would be overcome with the con
trast between the past and the present.
especially when she viewed the apart
ments fitted up for her use and which
had not been changed. But it was
merely her artistic sense that was ob
fended. The hangings of the huge
bed were of imperial purple with the
green of Napoleon. and the ex-empress
remarked disgustedly, “Toujours cos
aflreux rideauxi” “Always those
frightful curtains.”
No Woman Passenger Pilots.
In England women will not be given
permission to serve as pilots on pas
senger airplanes. An official of the
air ministry gave the reason for this
decision to a writer on the London
Sketch as “physical disability as well
as nerves.” declaring that women's
nerves are much more likely to give
way than men’s. _
“I think there are no women in this
country capable of passing the air
ministry's test.. If .one doessnceeed.
however. she will be permitted. tony

she will be allowed. to take a friend
with her is a point that remains to he
decided. _ .
“In any case womenflwill be barred
as pilots of passenger-carrying ma
chines."

waiter as “Senator." means nothing
