"Lost City, Nevada, deserted more than a thousand years ago, has been partially flooded by Lake Mead. Probably about 800 A. D. this community was an active center of Indian life.

Later, determined amounts are released, supplying water-users downstream during drier months. "Because of these periodic floods, Lake Mead grows by tits and starts. From March to July It rises rapidly, but usually decreases between August and February. Oddly enough, the record high water mark of 528.0 f?et was reached last September 22 Tills was due to a late run-ofT from mountain snows.

TWO BOYS INVADE "IMPREGNABLE U. 8. MINT AS A LARK Sau Frauclaco. l>?c 29.?-The faces of federal guards at the supposedly "Impregnable" San Francisco mint wore extremely red tonight as a result of a "raid by two 15-year-old boya who broke Into the mint and escaped with a copper peuny-plate "JuhI to sue If It could be done." Tho/youtha, Paul Francis and William OalluKher, were captured after they had telephoned police to brag of their exploit and then returned to the mint to "watch the fun." Mint authorities were bewildered by the affair, which shattered a legendary belief that the San Francisco mhlt was Impregnable to holdup men. The heavily guarded structure was built to withstand any kind of assault. Gnllugher said that he and his companion shinnled up a drain pipo, crept along a ledge to an open window, walked calmly past a guard who was reading a newspaper, and entered a room whore the copper plates for stamping pennies were kept. "We took the copper plate as proof that we'd been Inside, then shinnled out, went to the garage and telephoned the cops," the boy said. Gallagher said ho threw the copper plate out of the window, and recovered it after he and Francis reached the ground again. Even after they returned to the mint, after telephoning the police, they might hive escaped detection had not Franci"i become frightened and started to run. In ordor to accomplish their feat, the boys had to pass armed guards, equipped with tear gas bombs pass through attack-proof stoel doors with Intricate alarm systems, and escape the same way. Authorities believed that It could have happened only "once in a million times." but the boys were asked for suggestions as to how the mint could be made really Impregnable. Gallagher replied: "Tliey might lock the windows.' Honey does not have to be digested when taken Into the human body; that function takes place in the body of tlie bee. Henzine and benzene are two different substances. To add to the confusion. benzene originally was called benzine and now often is called benzol | ApocaJypaa, Grcelc Word, and "The Four Horieman" Apocalypse la a Greek word meaning ''revelation," and ia ap! plied chiefly to the Book of Revelation and more specifically to the last book of the New Testament otherwise called "The Revelation of St. John the Divine," which reads in part as follows: "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard, a? it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying. Come and see. And 1 saw, and behold a white horse; and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a greut sword. And when he had opened the "third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse: and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny ; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." The phrase "the four horsemen of the Apocalypse," says a writer in the Indianapolis News, was popularized by a novel of that name by Blasco Ibanez. It is a story of the German invasion of France in 1914. In *he panorama presented, a wealthy Argentinean settled in France, with a passion for "collecting," is the central figure. His family is connected with German families by marriage and this circumstancb complicates the story. The family represents the country of Frahce under the scourge of the four porsemen, war, famine, pestilence, and death. Highbush Cranberry Not Relative of True Berry The name of the highbush cranberry (Viburnum opulus) is rather misleading, for it is not related to the true cranberry. On the contrary, it is a relative of the elderberry and is a member of the well known honeysuckle family. It gets the cranberry name because its fruit looks and tastes somewhat like the cultivated cranberry. But with that the similarity ends. It has a number of other names, some of which are quite descriptive, such as crampbark tree, wild guelderrose, cherry-wood, red elder, rose elder, love rose, May rose, squaw bush and witch-hobble. All ' of these names have a meaning to those who know the shrub, for they are all related to some aspect of its hisiury, uses, or appearance, according to an authority in the Chicago Tribune. It is quite evident that the herb doctors must have thought up the name of "crampbark." They believed that if you boiled the bark of the cranberry the liquid was an excellent remedy for stomach aches. The shrub thrives even in northern Saskatchewan, 500 miles north of the American border. It is rather common in the New England states, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, and states where the wini ters are rather severe. The Hall of Fame The Hall of Fame for Great Americans at New York university is on University Heights in the Bronx, New York city, and was founded in 1900 after a gift of $250,000 was made by an anonymous donor for that purpose. It is built in the form of a terrace with superimposed colonnade connecting the university hall of philosophy with the hall of languages. There is provision for 150 panels bearing the names of famous Americans; fifty were chosen in 1900 and others are to be chosen every five years thereafter. Only Americans who have been dead 25 years or more are eligible. A college of electors, composed of about 100 American men and women of distinction make the Choice. Another hall of fame is in the Cap- | itol at Washington, D. C., where each state has the right to be represented by the busts of two famous persons from the particular state. : Costa Rica Most Flowery Plants of the little country with more varied vegetation than any area of its size in America?a country with about 6,000 varieties of flowering shrubs and trees, including more than 1.000 different kinds of orchids?are described in "Flora of Costa Rica," published by Field Museum Press. No other area of its size in North or Central America has a flora so rich and varied as Costa Rica. In area, the country is about the size of West Virginia, but its flowers and plants are about three times as numerous as those of that state. Few tropical countries anywhere in the world can riYtl 0o*t4 Rica in the variety of 1U orchids aad lama. j FUR-BEARING FISH FOUND IN MISSOURI Queer Catch in Underground Lake Causes Wonder. St. Louis, Mo.?A fur-bearing flsh, caught in an underground lake on a Pulaski county, Missouri, farm, may be a reversion to a possible ancient type of piscatorial life. But, professing to be more of a fisherman than a biologist, Frank F. Wielandy, former Missouri state game arid flsh commissioner, prefers to let science decide what manner of flsh had chosen to strike his line. The flsh was taken out of what is called the trout pond on the acreage known as the Blue Bird farm owned by the Wielandys and located near Waynesville, Mo. It was mounted and brought to St. Louis to be placed on exhibition. The flsh resembles a trout in every respect except that it has a rich coat of fur completely covering its body in longitudinal stripes, brown and grayish-yellow, much on the order of a chipmunk. The stripes run from snout to tail. "I nominate it for a leading place in the book," Wielandy said, "for I doubt if there will be ever another freak just like this. In life it would weigh about two pounds. It has a head, jaws and snout of a trout. I frankly admit I can't explain it." Wielandy suggested that inbreeding had produced a reversion to some long extinct type of flsh. The pond in which the flsh was taken was a small one. It was stocked by Wielandy. The flsh was caught on an ordinary line with a young mouse as bait. Artist in Wood Forgets Loss of His Right Hand New London, Conn.?Loss of his right hand and illness which forced George H. Lincoln to relinquish his gasoline station several years ago 1 resulted in giving this summer re- 1 sort section one of its most accom- 1 plished wood carvers. "Some fellows," said Lincoln, "lose a hand or a foot and think they are finished for life and that they can never do any more work. But I can do anything I want to. I ; don't miss that hand at all. Don't even think of it." A farmer most of his life, Lincoln knew nothing about carving or turning wood. He began operations with a hammer and a saw and a knife. One of his first products was a small wooden chest of cedar with oak inlay. "That was made from an old fence post," he said. Today his workshop is equipped < with a lathe, joiner, circular saw and drill press, in addition to many hand tools. One of his proudest accomplishments is a seven-piece dining-room set, all inlaid, from red ' cedar and cypress. He makes table and floor lamps, pin trays, powder ( boxes, beads, rings, bowls, checkerboard tables, cedar chests, tables and chairs. World War Veteran Wants j "Clock" in Head Stopped i Shawnee. Okla.?Charles W. Hester, forty-three-year-old World war 1 veteran, said that after-20 years he ; was tired of being a human clock j and wanted something done about ( it. With each pulse beat there is an audible tick-tick inside his head. The noise is discernible to listen- 1 ers three inches away. He was fighting with the American forces in France when a shell burst close to him. The concussion knocked him unconscious. When he awakened in a hospital, there was a rhythmical tick-tick, reminiscent of the noise of a clock, inside his head. The noise never has stopped. Most physicians agreed the shell disturbed some delicate brain ap- paratus. "I've fought my best against this thing," Hester said. "But I'm losing the fight. It is making me an old man before my time." Ashamed Lorain, Ohio.?Patrolman Frank Eiden reported the "most minor" trafific qccident of the year. After using an entire page to "book" the circumstances of an automobile crash, Eiden added: "Fifty cents damage to both cars?parties should feel ashamed to ask damage settlement."
