THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1032. THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL. BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA JEHOL ONCE SUMMER RESORT OF MANCHUS Taken From Mongolia to Make New Manchuria. Washington.—“Jehol, scene of re cently reported Japanese campaigns in Manchuria (Manchukuo), is one of the four provinces that since 1929, when Jehol was clipped from Inner Mon golia, make up the new Manchuria,” says a bulletin from the National Geo graphic socieiv. , “Jehol, perhaps, was unknown to the average layman until it sprang into the spotlight recently in connection with the movement of Japanese troops. If modern newspapers had been print ed two centuries ago, its happening would have been frequently in the headlines. It urns the summer place of Manchu empefors. In some thirty magnificent palace buildings. someVof the great Manchurian leaders were bom, lived or died. _ “The province is about ns long as New York state’ measured from New York city northward to its northern border, and about as wide. It also lies nearly in the same latitude as the Empire static. Forests Have Vanished. “For the most part the province is hilly. The Great Khingan mountains form its western border. The southern part'of tlie province is almost devoid of vegetation. Hungry cook stoves and fireplaces have even stripped trees, roots, and bushes from the soil: In winter, it is a common sight to see natives raking the ground for bits of fire wood. “Lack of transportation is, perhaps, one of tlie leading drawbacks of Jehol. railroads enter tlie province; it lias no seashore; nnd it has no large I ■ rivers. Itoads are hardly more than mere paths over which animals and cfude carts pass. In some regions au- | tomohile trucks link towns. Wooden • scats for passengers are placed around ! the sides of the trucks. After tlie traveler thinks tlie vehicle is full to [capacity, more passengers enter tlie vehicle and occupy as small spaces ns possible on tlie floor. Ten miles un hour Is a high speed on Jehol roads. An automobile ride reminds tlie expe rienced traveler of a voyage on a rough sea in a small boat, for the way usually consists of a series of boulders nnd holes. When Jehol awakens, about SO.Ono.OOO tons of anthracite and Sot1.000,000 tons of bituminous coal will be ready for modern transporta tion facilities. , Traveling Is Difficult. “Jehol city is reached after about I-14 miles of rough traveling from Helping. On the route the traveler frequently passes through typical vil lages of southern Jehol with their na tive Inns of mud construction. A warm brick bed and a smoky lamp are all that the inn keeper provides. Millett cooked as rice, and buckwheat flour made into dough strings, bean curd nnd cabbage, are among the chief foods served to guests. "The Jehol district exports hides, sheep’s wool for carpet making, bristles, licorice root, and furs. When crops are good, some millet, sorghum, beans, buckwheat, cotton, tobacco and melons find their way to outside markets. ‘ “Jehol city is but a skeleton of the city It once was. The six-mile wall that surrounded the Imperial estate no longer protects magnificent palaces, but the ruins of them. “The summer palaces were built In , the early part of the Eighteenth cen- ' tury. r The place was struck by light ping In 1820 an4-4he emperor, believ ing the occurrence a bad omen, de serted It. It was not occupied again until i860 when Emperor Hsien Feng fled there from Peiping. He lived less than a year after his arrival, complete ly demonstrating to the satisfaction of the imperial family that evil spirits Inhabited the place. On two later oc casions wljen Manchu rulers fled from Peiping they found other sanctuaries than Jehol. Unemployed Man Builds Remarkable Telescope Conneaut, Ohi<l—Unemployed dur ing the business slump, Frank Saun ders has built a powerful telescope In his back yard He doesn’t claim that he will startle the world with discoveries of new planets or solar system phenomena. He says the instrument\ was built to satisfy a desire to work with intricate mechanisms. The telescope was built At a cost of about $30, but It was valbed. upon completion, at more than $1,000. Saun ders used odds and ends, including an axle, in constructing the instrument. The 10-inch concave reflector would cost about $400 at an optical 1ftore. Saunders said, but he paid $7 fbr a piece of plate glass inches tlnck. ground it to the required dimensions by hand, then silvered ij himself. For Women's Aches and Pains Women who suffer from backache, and periodic THE “ESSO” OF MOTOR OILS , HYDROFINED BY “STANDARD" Rare Types of Mammals in Smithsonian Exhibit Many kinds of mammals as yet un known to science may be hiding away in obscure corners of the earth. They lurk In the spots unvisited by man— dense jungles, high mountains, isolat ed islands, or in burrows under the ground. Only when they come into collections do they attract the atten tion of systematic hioh^sj^s. Several new types of man mills have been placed in the collections of tlie Smith sonlan institution. In'most cases they are close relatives of known animals, yet differing sutlicic ntly to merit in dependent classification. One of tlie most striking new discoveries is a black ape described by Gerrit S. Miller. Jr., Smithsonian cu~;;tor of mammals. It was discovered i*i a collection from tin* island of Celebes. While it be longs to the baboon family it is a smaller relative of the big Celebes ape that we commonly see in the zoos. An other new creature is a hitherto un known type of vole, a tiny ratlike ro dent, which lives mostly in burrows above the timber line high up in tlie Endicott mountains of Alaska. Still others are two new ifiembers of the cut family—“long-tailed tiger cats." closely related to the Central Ameri can ocelot, from Mexico, a new fox from Trinidad valley, lower Califor nia. nnd an unknown variety of the l^gromyscus from the Coronado is lands. Cookies for Ever-Hungry Youngsters Home-made Goodies Delight Kiddies Interest in Universal Language Not Lasting Johann'M. Schleyer invented a uni versal language in 1879 Which lie called Volnpuk. meaning worldspeech. He taught it in i’aris In 1886. It cre ated much interest and for a time was used in commercial correspondence. Its adoption in diplomacy and science was urged but it failed to last and now is a tiling of tlie past. Its roots are principally borrowed from tlie laitin. German and English. The orthography is strictly phonetic. The alphabet had 27 letters. 8 vowels and lit consonants. Each letter had tmt one sound. Consonants were sounded as in English except the let ters c nnd J; g was hard and h as pirate. The accent was invariably on tlie last syllable. There was only one conjugation and no irregular verbs. All the word forms nnd inflec tions were regular. The letter w be came v, and the letter I was substi tuted for th* letter r. Almost all tlie words were one syllable. Nouns had one declension and four cases. Adjec tives were formed by adding ik to the substantive, nnd adverbs by adding the letter o to the adjective. For ex ample the word fam, which in Volapuk was glory; famlk, glorious; and fam- Iko, gloriously. Sawfish Probably Most Terrible of Ocean Fish Tlie whole scheme of nature is un- Ipeaknbly cruel, and far more .so among marine animals than among the behsts of the land jungles. John Edwin Hogg asserts, in the Los An geles Times. The acme of this cruelty seems to be represented in the food habits of the sawfish. These terrible creatures belong to the shark family.. They are common throughout the Gulf of California. Specimens of them have been taken 20 feet in length and weighing a ton. In general they are somewhat sim ilar to a swordfish, but instead of be ing equipped with a sword, the saw fish has an elongated nasal appendage armed with a double row of saber- pointed saw teeth. He’s a specialist in food, and while not averse to an occasional meal of marine carrion, he has a pheasant little habit of slashing his food off of living prey. He will slip up under any large marine crea ture he may come upon and with a terrific lunge tear Into his victim with his saw. He usually manages to disembowel them. Then he feasts. Save* Bird; Loses Arm Troy, N. Y.—His sympathy aroused when he say a bird nest fall from a tree, Stephen Nedroscik, Cohoes (N. Y.) school student, attempted to re place It. Hta right arm came in con tact with a high tension wire and was burned so badly It had to be ampu- tnted. \ Ancient Skeletons Found Upper Sandusky. Ohio.—Parts of five skeletons thought to be those of Indiana, an old British bayonet and a number of pieces of deer horn were uncovered here by workmen on a road project , Ball Games in History Football as a game was the subject of stern repressive laws as far back as tlie time of tlie Black Prince—aye, ^and even earlier, in the days of which loraer wrote. The people of Israel as ir back as the year 7o0 B. C. played a Vame with a ball to be thrown, kicked or\otherwise propelled by players, as witness the twenty-second chapter 7 .of Isaiah, in which the prophet said: “He will turn and toss thee like a ball.” That this game of ball was brought by the children of Israel from the land of Egypt 4s Indicated by inscriptions carved op. monuments beside the Nile. And this written word of Isaiah takes the beginning of the game back about 3,000 years, ago. CCHOOL days "again. And hungry ^ youngsters racing home and ask ing for "something good” to eat.
