about 800 A. D. this community
was an active center of Indian life.
"A museum at Overton. Nevada,

Melting mountain snows flood the
Colorado river in spring. With sumn;?-r
tlie flow drops to little more than
thai of a creek. But the earlier Hoods
do not pass Boulder Datu. They are
caught and stored. 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.
"The variable character of the Colorado
makes It difficult to estimate
just when Lake Mead will be completely
filled, l^ast February authorities
gave It three more years When
full the lake will weigh about 42 bll|

in a small area by man's labors."
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.'

| 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."
Nine Lives, Seven Toes
Kenosha, Wis.?Three kittens born
to a cat owned by Arlene Jackson
should be certain to follow in their
mother's footsteps. The mother cat
has seven toes on each of her front
feet. So do the kittens. The rear
paws are normal.
Widow Joins Work" Gang
Nairn Centre, Ont.?Mrs. Ann
Tenho, seventy-year-old widow,
worked for three days with a pick
and shovel here to earn a $3 dole
check.
