BROUGHT BACK TOWN -CRIER Mhclenit Officlial tlad Bridf tDay Mtl 'Goey When 4only Daily News Ipaper 4%s Buflied Wtdt. '7The ooconebtion ; between - the tiwta 't-ler and th 'newpAper was dmon Atrated recdtily w'en 'the'pltit' f the Macon (Mel) 'Dly " the only 4l01y newspaper Ib thercon ty, -was 'so 'badly damaged by fire It Was-apt'dtit of commission fr'several weeks, 'awtording to the I4Oerth Es tate. So'e importatit AionWdf'eornents were"wntiing-a big-Atock-stan,'a pub lie 'neeting. features 'at ' -Movie shows Arind special -siles ''by 'the mercmants. There were ncekly pa pers, but these would 'vut i be out in time. Then someone thought- df 'Dick Me 'Kinney, the old town etler, who had been -off the lob for - n "decade, and ',hose retirement had' been the catuse of mtuch storkel sentme'it' as indica tie of 'the passage of "the' old to the modern ''method which r"ne with the daily 'newspaper. Dick' said he was 'Mcd "tiud 'heu 'nhatiky. and that' hi voice was not Whant it 'used to be. Taut they dug' him up a hell. 'gave hint inuegaphone and tokl' him to go out said tell ti" ieenpf what was coming. The bid' town erer did''the best he could,' hut it was 'i''lent that years tra d weakened his vocal organs. so that 'the hell wire 'tie- most villuaMe feature- of his ser'rie. While The daily paper "was out of commission the 'town slipped' back a decade -or more. No market reports. nothing about the weather. nothl'ng 'from the conven'lons. no annouwce :nents Of choir practlce and soclals. The town crier wits all in when the paper resumed pnthlicntion and took his place. But, y'whIle his resturrec'tton was brief, the town crier 'came into such fame as- re'vnad never known In his previous hui'ehistory. Protecting Auatralian Antimals. At the present rate of exterminn tion Australia's marsupials will have practically disapp'eared within 20 years, says Dr. 't3Ain Mackenzie. in an article in the Melbourne Argus. The revival of ship'ping after the war with its opportunities for exporters, is giving point to his warning, and it is prohnhle that some steps will be taken to control the export of live specimens of Australian fauna or of skins. At present the protection of Aus tralian animals is purely a state mat ter. though the conmmonwetilth has customs regulations prohibiting the export of certain tkins and of the feathers of speeified birds. The unique character of,'Australian mar supials has long been recognized by the zoological gardens of the world, and it is not likely that legitimate exchanges between boos will he pto hihited by any Australian protective regulations. Utilizing Solar 'Heat. The scarcity of fuel has naturally turned attention to solar heat in sun ny regions. In a late paper, O. Le Roy feisinger states that, in Egypt. the unjab and South Africa, glass topped teakwood boxes, blackened in side and insulated, serve as ovens for ,cooking, and find many other uses. The midday temperature inside has 'been found to range fromn 240 degrees 'to 275 degrees F.. whtle an auxiliary mirror may raise it as high as 320 de grees. The "solar cooker" devised at the Smithsonian institution comprises a loop of pipe containing oil, a portion of the loop passing through a box containing an oven, while another por tion receives the solar rays concen tratedl upon it by an Iron-hacked glass mirror having the form or a half cyi inder. Thei unequal heating causes the dii to cireniate throughout the tube. Theat is thus conveyed to the oven and cooking is done without fuel. Not Altogether Birdlike. At a social evening one very mu sical young lady sang a song entied "Byivan Sounds." It was very flne, indeed. atnd all the Old ladies nnd gen tlemen waxed quite enthusiastic. "Most delightful !" gushed one dear old lady to a yotung mian wvho chtanced to he nenr her. "Isn't site a lovely singer?" "Yes, quite good !" replied the young fellow coolly. "And didn't it remtiid you of the singing of bdrda? In fntet," wenlt onl the good lady en ttisiast ienily. "one might almost believe it really wias a "We'li, I don't know." retm-rked the tian; "1 never sawi a bir-d sit dowtn at a table and drink three cups of tea and eat two helpings of v-eni-and-hmam pie and( enoughl enke atnd sweets to stock a school treatt."
