Strange But True

By 1''. II. MacArthur

11 used to -be c 1Y,lllPD08j get that certain persons coulo transform themselves by magic on into beasts and that any wound inflicted on the transform- ,.d animals were at the: some time. inflicted on the human body of the witch that had transformed herself into the creature. This.be- lief is still widely held in Asia and Africa. with a vivid imagination one can believe almost anything. To substantiate their ,belief such nonsense, these people tell some tall tales, one of which 1 shall repeat at this time.

um 1538, a gentleman in a vil- lgge among the mountains Au- vcrgne, looking out of the window one evening, saw a friend .of' his polng out to hunt. He begged him in bring him back some of the kill. . . He had not gone far be- fore he met 0. huge wolf. He fired and missed it. and the animal at- tacked him furiously, but he stood his ground and by a streak of good luck managed to cut off the right paw or the brute . . . '

Returning to his friend, he drew trom his sock the paw of the wolf. uhich turned out to be a woman? hand withla golden ring on one of the fingers. His friend recognized the ring as that belonging to his own wife, and went to find her. .-the was sitting before the fire, her right arm under her apron. As she refused to draw it out. her husband confronted her with the hand and the ring on it. She con- fessed that she'd been gad- fllllg about in wolf's clothing when she was shot.

The story has a sad ending. The aiiizry husband turned his wife rit'f!F to Justice. she was tried and burned as a witch.

The minute hand on the dial of Big Ben is 14 feet long. A still larger minute hand is seen on the great Colgate clock. It is 20 feet long and weighs 640 pounds. When taken off it requires 11 men to carry it away. The dial of this New Jersey giant is 38 feet in dia- r-meter, and is lighted at night by electric bulbs. -

ln the museum at Rome Italy. may be seen an unique clock. It is made of pure ivory, with golden gates studded with costly pearls. leading to the mosaic pendulum.

The actual screws of a first class w.-itch are so tiny that 47.000 of them can be put in a thimble.

Next to the human heart the pulsations of a watch are worth recording. That little hairspring

in and is hoisted to safety

is capable of making 433,000 wt. nation: a. day. year in and year out.

The famous Astronomical clock at Prague is over son you: old, Thll remarkable Bohemian timo- piece has a dial which shows the hours. minutes. sedonds, month; and date. it also gives the phases of.ihe moon. and even the number of the year. .

The natives of the Solomon Is-

lands hunt shirks in this way: From the deck of a ship 1 man dives into the sea. as a decoy. to entice the shark. When attacked. he swims to the boat. grabs a rope by his pals. At the same time another chap dives overboard. with knife skillfully aimed he kills his prey;

O

1-lerds of the Bulgarian farmers '

suffer much from, the raids of blood-sucking vampires called ills- trels. They vow an ustrel is the spirit of a Christisnchild born on Saturday but who unfortunately died before he could "be baptiied. Nine days after burial he- grub! his way out of the grave and at- tacks the cattle sucking their blood by night and returning at dawn to the” tomb to rest. '

After ten days of such nourish- ment he is strong enough to seek out the herds of sheep and cattlo' at some distance. No longer does he return to the grave to rest, but takes up his quarters between the horns of a ram or between the hind legs at a. milk cow. Starting with the fattest animals he works his way down the line to the lean- est until not a single animal is left alive. .

But there's a remedy. There al- Wtlys is. In this case, the people extinguish every fire on Satur- day morning. Even smoking is taboo. Next all the live stock is criven out into the open. where a couple of men in the nude kindle two campfires. The herds are now driven toward the fires. Goals from the embers are then taken to the village and used to rekindle the family hearths.

Of course. the idea behind all this fire burning is to destroy the vampires by unseating him and leaving him a. prey to some wild beast.

BUFFALO, N. Y.. Jan. 16 - (AP) - Buffalo Bisons of the American Hockey League seized. upon after- noon games today as the answer to their box-office woes. For the last three Sundays.

season of 4,700.
