INDIANS PULlT
STOMP DANCE
BY CAMPFIRE
MIAMI, Okla., June 8 (by Associat
ed Press).—Another stomp dance has
been held by the Cherokee Indians
near the hamlet of Murphy, around
the Indian campfire which has not
been quenched for two score years.
This is a watchfire of the Cherokees
and is kept burning as a memorial to
the “Great Spirit.” Not even Chief
Charlie Tee Hee knows how many
years ago the fire was started. B. G.
Abernathy, a white man, says the fire
was burning when he took up his res
idence in Murphy thirty years ago.
Molluscs Start Scientist After a Lost Continent
DETAILS concerning a lost continent in the Pacific ocean, a G,OOO-mile pre
historic “bridge” of land between South America and Hawaii, is being
sought by an American scientist, William Allanson Bryan, professor of zoology
and geology in the college of Hawaii.
I)r. Bryan went to Argentina by
way of Mexico and the west coast of
South America, where he studied vol
canoes and Andean geology. He will
sail for the island of Juan Fernandez,
400 miles out. The island is inhabited
by a small colony of fishermen.
“In the Philadelphia Academy of
Natural Science,” says the professor,
“I was surprised a year ago to dis
cover certain little fresh water mol
luscs from Juan Fernandez that were
extraordinarily similar in their characteristics to certain molluscs in Hawaii.
So- I determined to visit the island, study those shells and its entire flora
and fauna.”
If the Juan Fernandez molluscs should prove to be closely allied with
those of Hawaii, Dr. Bryan explains, it would prove that land connection had
existed, as the species must have traveled from Juan Fernandez to Hawaii, or
vice versa, by the rivers of the prehistoric continent.
Professor Bryan considers it not unlikely that the lost Pacific continent
preceded that of South America in the dark ages of time.
It was on Juan Fernandez that Alexander Selkirk, a Scotch buccaneer,
lived in solitude for four years (1704-1708). His story is supposed to have
suggested “Robinson Crusoe” to Defoe. The flora and fauna of the island
differ remarkably from those of the mainland.
COLORED BOYS
IN PACKAGES
AS “EXPRESS”
-—
DENVER, Colo.. June 8 (by Asso
ciated Press)—Two express “pack
ages,” each consisting of a little negro
boy, recently passed through Denver
snroute from Topeka, Kansas, to Og
den, Utah. Orville Skaggs, eight
pears old, was package No. 1, while
his brother, Lester, six years old, was
package No. 2.
Their mother, who resides in To
peka, decided to send them to their
father who is living in Agden. She
decided to forward them by express
and, since the company accepts ani
mals of all kinds for transportation,
the officials decided that the boys
could be accepted.
The company suspended one rule
governing the shipment of live ani
mals, however, which undoubtedly
added much to the boys’ comfort.
That rule requires the crating of all
animals sent by express.
The boys, though, saw to it that
another rule, which provides that ani
mals must be fed at all junction points
and wherever else it may be neces
sary, was not suspended.
ARMY TRANSPORT TO
TAKE TEACHERS FROM
MAINLAND TO HONOLULU
HONOLULU. T. H., June 8 (by As
sociated Press).—The Territory of
Hawaii has enough mainland teachers
engaged to fill the bulk of the vacan
cies in its school staff, but, owing to
the shortage of steamer accomodat
ions, it is doubtful if they can be
landed on the islands, according to
Vaughan MacCaughey, superintendent
of public instruction. One hundred
and fifty mainland teachers have ac
cepted appointments. A plan is being
considered to appeal to the govern
ment for a special army transport.
