Lonely Island
Is Given Relief
London.?A relief expedition to aid
distressed natives of raWufested
Tristan da Cunha, "loneliest island
In the world," has been organized
here.
The Islanders, according to a reI>oi
t l>y the British freighter liariuala,
which called at Tristan da Cunha
some weeks ago, have been so barrassed
by rats that they may quit the
island?and leave it to the rats.
located 1,500 ntiles^ south west of
Capetown, South Africa, Tristan has
been inhabited for more than a century.
A garrison was first placed there
when Napoleon was at St. Helena.
Later, when the garrison was withdrawn,
a few of the inhabitants decided
to stay on.
Today, shipwrecked sailors and natural
increase have brought the island
population up to 150?a simple, kindly
and primitive folk who come into
brief contact with visitors from the
outside world about once a year when
a supply ship or a tramp steamer arrives.
The coming of the rats brought
hardship to the -ill-faring .islanders
long ago. At first they lived happily
unafflicted by the rodents.
Then, in 1882, a ship was wrecked
oriHhq rock-girt coast of Tristan, and
rats swarmed from the sinking vessel
out of the island. Within a few
ye&rs, as the rats multiplied, the islanders
found it impossible to grow
wheat or any grain. The rats devoured
the tender shoots before they
reached maturity.
Reduced to a diet of potatoes, milk,
eggs, fish and occasional "fiestas" of
meat, they struggled on without bread
or any form of cereal.
Now, however, the rats, becoming
bolder and more voracious of appetite,
have Invaded the mainstay of
the islander's larder?potatoes.
Word of their plight, reaching London,
inspired Adrian Selligman, British
yachtman, to organize a relief
cruise on his barkentine, Cap Pilar.
He is taking hundreds of pounds of
rat poison, rat traps and other devices
for exterminating the pests
Woman With Stone
Heart Is "Dead
San Francisco, Sept. 17.?Mrs.
Regina Dramy, 40, "the woman with
the stone heart," Is dead.
Kept alive a year and a half after
a delicate operation, she died from
calcification of the heart muscles in
Mount Zion hospital here.- The malady
is rare, officials ~at the hospital
stating her case Was one of only six
on record in medical history.
Last year Mrs. Dramy, wife of a
San Francisco attorney, was spared
death when three physicians chipped)
away a layer of calcium that was
impeding her heart action. Doctors
Harold Brinn, A. L. Brown and
George Hartmann cut a "window" In
the patient's chest to reach the heart
muscles, around ^which the stone-like
layer was encrusted.
Her partial recovery was rapid and
within a few days she was able to
sit in a wheel chair.
The growth, however, continued,
and she was brought here recently
after her heart action was greatly
Impeded. This time the stone had
encroached too J far. ^ .

Doctor Advises To
Let Southpaws Alone
laientg who act on the theory that
left-handedness la a bad habit to be
vigorously checked, act uusclentlflcal*y
and, therefore unwisely, aaya
George Godwin In Bverywoman.
The old view that this peculiarity
la one to be firmly delt with la now
knowu to be entirely wrong. When
a child developa this tendency It may
be taken for grauted that It la behaving
with complete naturalness.
Why should about five per cent of
oui- children elect, to use the left
mud instead of the right? The teason
Is a physical one.
The brain is divided into two parts.
The left side controls all the activlties
of the right side of the body and
vice versa.
All right-handed people are "left"
brained. That is, the left side of their
r n Ih more highly developed than
he right. With the left-handed child
he reverse Is the case. In U8|ng ,u
left hand, then, a child merely acts
w^ h the logic of its physical makeMany
people are so unobservant
that it Is not until the child is three
or four years of age that Its lefthandedness
is noticed; and sometimes
t is only when it goes to school that I
it Is first remarked.
Since the left-handed child needs
special care, the wise parent will ascertain
the fact as soon as possible.
This can bo done in the first days;
the left handed baby always sucks its
, ^nd- A 1Utle later * simple
scientific test will confirm this first
diagnosis.
He three brightly-colored balls to
strings and hang them at equal distances
from a stick and, with the
central ball squarely before the baby's
eyes, watch towards which it will
grab. The left-handed baby will go
for the left ball.
There is only one object In Interfering
with this perfectly natural peciliarity.
Left handedness in its extreme
forms may be a handicap. Beyond
that, the use of this hand in
pie erence to the more usual right
should not be discouraged.
Parents and teachers who insist on
training thp left-handed child to use
t e right impose on it an unnatural
strain. That strain has mental consequences.
Many children who slutel
do so because they are suppressed
left-handers. So, too, such children
develop nervous conditions when dealt
with unintelligently.
1 he left-handed child should be
given full liberty to use that hand,
f the use of the other is aimed at,
then it should be in much the same
way as one would deal with a right
handed child for whom complete ambidexterity
la intended.
It may be that in an ideal human
o y, with complete symmetry of development,
there would be perfect ambidexterity.
But such cases are exceedingly
rare.
What is supremely important Is the
lealization of the fact that left-handedness
is no sign of inferiority or abnormality.
As to the Idea that there
Is some link between left-handedness
and degeneracy, all the facto point
in the opposite direction.
Very often the left^anded child
had a brilliant mind. Close examination
of his drawings and the brush
mark of his great paintings prove
conclusively that Leonardo da Vlnol
was left-handed.
hHi.8,7utlUg' 6Ven' was done with |
the left hand. Thus we have a etrik\?*
****** of the superiority of a
left-handed man. Leonardo was. perhaps
one of the greatest men who I
ever lived, an estimate that modern
knowledge of his amazing achieve,
en s as artist, sculptor, anatomist,
botanist, astronomer, engineer and
architect go to prove.
Leonardo had the good fortune to
enter as a young man the studio of
an artist who did nothing to fetter
his natural left-handedness.
8l?IUr soo* fortune attended
the late Theodore Roosevelt, who was*
permitted to remain the left-handed
Individual Nature had made him;
Many people are chary of accepting
modern views of psychology. They
are skeptical when told that the sappression
of a tendency in the physical
Bold may have Its effects on the mental
and emotional life. But the ovidence
is all against them.

WHY
Sixty Minutes Make an Hour as
We Count Time,
Max Hill lor, In the Fortnightly Ho
view gives the reason for the division
of HM hour Into (JO minutes, lie say*
that In Rahylon there existed by tiie
side of the decimal system of notation
another system, the sexagesimal, which
was counted by sixties. That number
appealed to the practical sense of the
ancient Babylonian merchants. There
Is no number which has so many dlvis
ors as 00; It can he divided without n
renin I ji tier by 2. a. 4. fi. u lu. 12. 15,
20 and 80. The Babylonians divided
the sun's path Info 24 parasongs A
parasang Is about four and a half
miles. Their astronomers compared
the progress of the sun during one
hour to the progress made by a good
walker during the saute time, both
accomplishing one purusnng.
The whole course of the sun was
24 parnsungs, or 300 degrees. ICuch
/purtisung or hour was subdivided Into
00 minutes. This system of the revolution
of the earth on Its axis, or
the apparent path of, the sun around
the earth, every 24 hours, was hnuded
on to tho Greeks, apd lllppnrchus, the
Greek philosopher, who lived 150 B. C.,
Introduced the Babylonian hour Into
Europe. Ptolemy. In what is known
as the Ptolemaic system of astronomy,
gave still wider currency to tho Babylonian
method of reckoning tlmo. It
was carried along by traditional knowledge
down through the Middle ages
and survived the French revolution.
The French endeavored to seduce every
measure to the decimal system ot
reckoning, but left tho clock and watch
system alone, so that the measure of
time remains sexagesimal, or Bubylonlan,
each hour consisting of 00
minutes.
Why the Artificial Comb
Honey Is Not a Success
The difficulty In producing so artificial
comb honey as made by bees depends
not on the Inversion of cane
sugar to grape sugar, but the reproduction
of the honeycomb, according
to a writer In the Washington Star.
Honeycomb Is a mass of cells composed
of wax, built by bees In their
nost or hive, to contain their brood
and stores of pollen and honey.
Honey consists principally of a mixture
In varied portions of sugars with
a little water. It is made by the bee
from the nectar of flowers by the addition
of certain enzymes.
Beeswax out of which the comb ie
made Is secreted by special glands on
the underside of the abdomen. It 1?
employed In constructing the honeycomb
after mastication and mixture
with saliva.
Why Windows Are Bricked Up
"In old houses you sometimes see a
place In the wall as If it was meant for
A wlpdow, but the gqp is filled up with
brick or stone," snys a writer In Answers
Magazine. The reason of this
Is: If the house Is old enough, the
blank may be due originally to the
old window tax. When William Pitt
augmented this in 1784 and again In
1797, many windows were built up to
save paying the tax. I believe they are
sometimes known, ironically, as "Pltt'?
Pictures." Of course, In other cases.
I the architect designed the recess to re
lieve a blank wall; he never Intended
a window to be placed there.
Why Society Is "400"' '
In 1889 Ward McAllister, * New
York society leader who was regarded
by the smart set as an authority on
fashionable matters, declared that there
were only about 400 persons who could
claim admission Into the best social
circles in the city of New York. From
this circumstance the exclusive society
people of that city came to be
called -the four hundred." By extension
the term Is applied to the smart
set of any place. McAlllater also said
there were not more than 400 persons
in New York who eoeld walk gracefully
across a ballroom floor.
Why "Blue Man" I? at Circus
The "Blue Man" Is a familiar sight
among the exhibits In the side show ot
a circus or a fair. His body Is a pale,
bluish color, bis face, neck, forearms
and bands a fairly dark slate blue.
In "The Blue Man" in Hygela, the
Health Magazine, Dr. Arthur William
Stfllians describes him as s man who
has jpnt his silver Into a bank from
which ho withdrawals are permitted
The man is using a few grains of silver
distributed throughout his skin to furnish
him s livelihood, a form of practical
high finance which Is peculiar In
that it does no harm to others.
Why Therm Heat System Is Used
I sympathise with all those people
who are still puzzled about the therm,
yet really It's quite simple, says s
writer In Answers Magazine. It begins
with the amount of heat needed to
raise one i?ound of water from 60 de
grees Fahrenheit. The term, on which
all charges for gas are now based, Is
Just IU0.OOO of the thermal units. Be-!
ford the therm came In, we bought our
gas by the cubic foot. Irrespective of
Its quality. Now we pay for It by its
^beating power, us The company has to
declare the beatlug value In therms of
?he cubic fcot of its gas.
Why No Treea on Plain*

Fire~Destroys
Historic Home
Black Mountain, Sept. 13.?Gombroon,
historic summer homo of ZebuIon
Hair Vance, North Carolina's civil
war governor, lay in ashes tonight.
Fat M* Burdette, Ashovillo city
manager, said the picturesque threestory
building eight miles from lioro
on the North Fork watershed, had
been destroyed by tire. He said his
investigations Indicated no apparent
sign of incendiarism. He said the tire
was Btarted probably by lightning or
a careless visitor.
liurdette said a Hluck Mountain
preacher discovered the smouldering
ruins Friday.
Krocted late in the nineteenth centruy
of native woods turned into lumber
by a water mill, "Bombroon" both
inside and out was of a workmanship
that attracted archltectuul attention.
Until a few years ago it was occupied
in the summer by the late J.
Harry Martin and family. Mr. Martin
was a son of Mrs. Vance by a former
marriage.
Situated in what ia now the Ashovillo
watershed, the grout dwelling
recently had boon uuoccupied and had
been the prey of souvenir hunters and
only the shell of the once palatial residence
remained.
j Only a roller chair used by Sena*
tor-Governor Vance and a wooden
bathtub made by him remain of the
house and furnishings. The chair has
been placed in the home of a warden
for safe keeping and the bath tub
has been loaned to a plumbing firm
for exhibition.
The house was deeded to the Ashevllle
chapter of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy when the City of
Asheville took over the property.
Gombroon, which means "heart's desire,"
was built while Vance, a native
of Buncombe county, was in the Senate,
near the headwaters of the
Swannanoa, it provided him privacy.
Costly Cigarettes
Columbia, Sept. 16.?C. K. Wingate,
counsel for the state tax commission,

In court#to a verdict awarding the
commission $500 in penalties against
it bechuse it sold fyve cartons of
cigarettes that lacked Btate tax
stamps.
When we make trouble for others
we always save out some for ourselves.
Mrs. Rhode Suffers
A Broken Leg
YVushington, Ind., Wept. 22.?A wild
dash down u hillside In pursuit of her
runaway uutoinohlle and trailer tonlKht
had brouKht Mrs. Huth Dry an
Owen Holide, former United States
minister to Denmark, to Davies county
hospital with u broken left leg,
and put an abrupt end to her campaign
tour for 1'reHident Roosevelt.
The accident pQcurred JjMt JQlfiW. just
before midnight as Mrs. Roh4?
and her Danish husband, Capt. lloerge
Kohde, were retiring for the night in
the big automobile trailer that had
been their home for several weeks as
Mrs., Rohde had stumped the smalltown
circuit for the Democratic party.
The emergeucy brake on the automobile
either had not been set properly
or was not set, and car und trailer
lieuded down a hillside for a lake.
Mrs. Rohde and the Captain jumped
out of tho trailer and attempted to
halt the car. In the effort Mrs. Rohde
was knocked to the ground. She was
taken to the hospital and an x-ray today
disclosed a fracture of the large
bone of the left leg just below tho
knee. Tho car ran into a tree ?.
was stopped short of the lake.
"I need a rest anyway," Mrs. Rohde
said philosophically as doctors prepared
to put the leg lu a cast. "1 expect
to take advantage of this opportunity
and stay in bed for a few
days." r -- - ?
