PAY TRIBUTE TO THE LOST
Primitive Japanese Have Ritual far
t lie Ssule of Wild Oease That
Navar Will Return.
A most charming hath custom oh
?erVed every spring. even to this day,
Hi ( lit* flailing villages oti the shores of
tlie I'nrjftc ocean, the (Soto On llama,
the "outside shores" as the Japanese
noli j ilioiii. Is the gnnhuro.
These village people tell how the
?C*.C vvhK'h come flying across | lie
aeus to winter In the land of the rising
>am n 1 vn ays carry In their hills it Arffttll
piece of wood. When they are Worn
out from Hying, the long lines of the
migrating birds are halted h> their
leaders ami then they settle. In the sea
for a rest l>erore continuing their
jjjtyfbt, Thl? pioce of wood i? carried
to serve them as a rest to float <?n
while they refresh their wearied wings.
When the geese reach the outer shores
of Japan they no longer need these
wood tlwnts and they drop theiu Just
wh?'re tliey land. Now the good vil
lage folk know that these visiting
geese need these floats kgaln, and they
never hum or use theiu in uny way
ail the cold winter long. In the spring
when it is time for the goese to make
their way home to the north again
they' all flock to the shores where they
lauded and each goose picking up the
float he brought with him takes to the
' nir and (lies home over the seas, v
f : 1 1 1 there are many geese which
never live to take the homeward phili
BCa'n when all the living geese
are gone away (here still remnjn> a

come to take, and carrying them to

water from the tetuple well. Then
while the lire hums the priests pray
for the vii I ^ of the geese who will
never return. All the villagers then
enter the. creat kettle and "bathe In the

For it is proper and good when inas
aes arr said for the soul.i of the dead
that a present should be given to all
who. attend the sacred ceremony. And
thig hath, heated with the little legacy
the geese have left behind, is tJ>e pres

Aliuui :i year ag<? when Mr. and Airs.
Klmer N. rowel I returned from a party
late one night to their home in the
Knickerbocker apartments. Mr. Powell
discovered he had failed to take along
his house keys. After falling In ev
ery effort to open a door or window,
bo was finally driven to the extremity
of breaking a window pane in or
der to unfasten the night latch. As
the glass tinkled he gave vent to vocal
comment on the general cussedness of
things that hud made such action
necessary.
As he spoke the voice of Judge Kira
brough Stone came from the window
of tin* next apartment:
"I am mighty glad you spoke, Pow
ell. J had my gun leveled at you and
wii* just about to shoot."
One <hiy last week Mr. I'owell found
himself on the same street car bound
-downtown, with the Judge and Mrs.
Mrs. Stone explained thai she
was taking her husband with her to
help select Christmas giftsi ? and Mr.
Powell suggested that she fchould keep

OF ANCIENT DAYlS
Much Is Told in Collection of 0#
Documents.
Legal Papers Recovered by Investb
gator* Reveal Life of Peopla
During Early Christian Era.
What is dPKiTilu'tl us oiir of tin* most
important collections of undent docu
ment; vet discovered, consist }gj| of
more than 100 legul papers (luting
from the reigns Of the Roinun em
perors Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula
and Cluudlus, has been brought to Ann
Arbor by Prof. Francis W. Kelsey of
the University of Michigan. Professor
Kelsey spent sOuh* time III Kgypt In
search of records. The collection is
held to be important because It re
veals the life of "people during the
early Christian era.
The records obtained b.v Professor
Kelsey constitute a purt of the tiles
of n record office in or near Tehtunia,
WgyiSt, and were discovered four
ui< >n t lve ago. They are written on
papyrus und are 'chiefly in <*reek, a
few being Demotic. - They are believed
to have been, covered with sand soon
uftcr the record otllce fell and with
few exceptloiis art* preserved per
fectly.
. The ??a.rilesi record is dated 7 A. 1).
und bears the signature of a woman
wlio agreed not to bring claim against
her lirolhers. Another reeord< ? ?>!" the
fame period, is h contrnut ol' eotutuon
law marriage. ""
Ajhonj; other records 'are contracts
of sale covering both personal and
re.ul property, including lands, vine
yards and houses.. There also are
leases, agreements regarding bums, a
contract of indemnity, receipts for
wages, a receipt for', dowry, olllelal or
ders, petitions to public oMlcIa\s, tux
receipts, document* relating to iraus
ferrlug ownership of slaves ami part
of a registry of deeds.
What is held to be the most impor
tant record is in the form of a roll,
more than seven feet long and written
on both sides. It Is said to be a per
fect exuinple of an ancient book or
scroll of the kind mentioned lit the
Bible, particularly In the Book of Rev
elations.
The scroll, dated 42 A. D., contains
on one side abstracts of a number of
contracts and on the other is a regis
try of the contracts, written in the
record office of the second year of Km
peror Claudius.
Between ten and fifteen years will
be required to decipher all of the rec
ords and to explain them In their rela
tion to Roman history, according to
Professor Kelsey. The university pro
fessor asserted there could be no ques
tion as to the authenticity of (lie rec
ords.
Another collection brought to the
university by the professor includes a
papyrus book of twelve leaves, in
which are written the Incantations and
formulas used by a master magician.
There are chnrma_unil_ curses for va
rious occasions, one being a love
charm. In the prayers God and the
angels are Invoked as well' as the pa
gan deities of Egypt.
"Survival of the Fittest."
Samuel Hi lot Morison, author of
"The Maritime History of Massachu
setts, " comes of New England seafar
ing stock, about which many deep-aea
tales might be told. According to a
family tradition, two of Mr. Morlson's
aucestors were shipmates on a hrigan
tine 'whicii was wrecked in the Pa
cific occiin toward the end ?>f the
Eighteenth century. The crew had to
row almost a thousand miles in a small
boar before they reached land, with
the usual accompaniment of drawing
lots to see who would furnish the
meals. One .of Mr. Morlson's ances
tors perished; the other survived, and
on reaching home two years later
found that ills daughter had married
the victim's s?ni. The 'two families
remains! <?n the be??t of term*, brtt it
was considered poor form to refer to
the '?'?survival of the fittest"* in the
family circle. Mr. Morison did not
tell this Incident in his "Maritime 111a
tory," as he did not expert anyone to
believe It.
Oil Cans Used as Stoves.
The divers use to which empty kero
sene cans are put are well known, and
even In the most remote parts of the
world these tin containers are in great

In Morocco. Qlri About to Wed it
Compelled to Pass Seven Long
Monotonous Days.
It I* h curious thing that in a land
so Careful lu the public uppenrance
of women us in Morocco, u ;jtrl should
be compelled to sit In | ? i \ ate exhlbt
llon for her women Irlemls for seven
lolly days before she d? parts to the

t'le\ eland Plain llealer.
In one Vi'O 1 1 1 1 { m i r t ; 1 1 1 1 do! ail o| the
Moroccan marriage custom*. how
ever. Is evidenced the complete sep*.
aration of the scnc.- which is so much
a pari of Moroccan life. Not e\cn the
bridegroom is In (be home of the
bride when the nuirrlaj;e party is given
there* Nor is the bride present at the,
celebration given at the brldegrootd'a
home. Both bride and bridegroom en
tertain their friends of their own sex
In their own homes. *>-?
For seven days the marriage rejoic
ings go on, to the atH-pmpaiiiliient of
the heating of drums and the blowing
of pipes and Mates. Hut while the
bridegroom Joins bis friends in cele
brating the event, the bride must sit
motionless, with downcast eyes, on a
throne ?f cushions In t.he center of the
vhlef room in her own bouse. She is
! not supposed ex'en to see the various
' persons about her. Hut she knows
! they are nil her own girlhood friend*
l or the wiVuicat friends ot ber mother.
J Each" oi i.be principal kucsIs is tcos

their eyelids and 'he skin under their

It is the seventh da.\ that the bride

Finding Buried Shells,
An old problem which ix being en
countered all through the territory lu
which fighting occurred during the
war, in that of guarding against the
exploding of shells which buried them
selves in the ground without having
exploded. In the section of France
along the Mame, where the lighting
was particularly fierce. the jieasant
farmers have found tills danger to be
very real. A plowman may at any
moment strike a shell that will ex
plode with sufficient force to kill him
and his team.
Various solutions have been suggest
ed, but the most promising is one
worked out by a French scientist and
considered by the Academy of Science.
The plan is to go all over the farms
with an electrical , Instrument that will
give warning- when a mass of metal
is near. Such an instrument Is au
old American invention- frequently
used In laboratory work. Some mod
ifications of It were adopted by the
French scientist to !i? It far field use,
and Ids apparatus requires the serv
ices of two men.
In practical - testa on the old battle
fields It has been found possible for
two men to explore an acre thorough
ly in about one hour, and to locate
every burled shell near enough to the
surfuce tQ_Uo any harm.
"Dust" Pistols and Scicnce.
Equipped wiLh "^lust" shooting pis
tols to bring down highflying Insects
that cannot be netted, Jesse H. Wil
liamson and John W. Strohm, a re
tired army captain, sailed from New
York on the steamship Poly carp for
the Jungles of Brazil. They plan to
penetrate beyond the river of doubt,
the Rio Tadoro, in their bunt for
hitherto uncaptured zoological speci
mens for the University of 'Michigan
and other colleges.
The expedition is expected to last
six months up the Amazon to Porto
Velho, thence along the Mitdelra-Mft
more railroad 200 miles into the Ser
fs Dos Parecis mountains.
The "dust" shot to be used in gath
ering winged denizens of the fever-In
fested Jungle Is so fine that the. most
delicate specimens would not be ir
reparably Injured, the explorers said.
