High Honor Given National Park for Raising Blue Goose
For Centuries Naturalists Try to Learn About Nesting Habit of Bird
Washington, Sept. 19.—Because of the hitherto unrecorded feat of hatching and rearing the mysterious blue goose, one of the highest bonuses given for contributions to natural history is the National Zoological Park. The silver medal of the Societe d'Acclimation of France has been accepted for the society by Ambassador Herrick in Paris and has just been transmitted to France. An assistant under Wetmore, assistant secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.
For hundreds of years naturalists have sought in vain to discover what the young of the blue goose books were like. The birds have been found for certain where it nests. Certain scientists have been skeptical even of the very existence of the bird. Was it not merely an ordinary snow beetle in a peculiar scene of plumage?
Winter in Mississippi
Each spring the blue gaze rose from their winter home in the lower Mississippi valley and fly northward, out of sight and into the blue. Even the Eskimo have never reported finding the nests, eggs or young. For some years it was believed the gaze made their way into the unknown and then disappeared under modern opinion ashes. Raftin laid as their meeting place.
The remarkable hatching process took place in 1924. Three eggs were obtained from tropical forest on the island of Tikal. Eggs had been secured on other occasions, but never before had they been hatched by a human hand. However, officer's officials tried a new scheme.
Hen Tried First
They confided the eggs to the motherly care of a hurrydent hen. But she would not have reared them successfully had not man with his scientific knowledge stepped into the picture. The shells seemed too hard for the cat to grip, and so a simple procedure was devised by an expert wild duck keeper. Each time the foster-mother left her adopted children for a brief respite, he dampened the eggshells. Thus was reproduced the course of the new goose's habit of apriking the eggs with her fowlers.
stan and hen were successful in their novel rearing scheme. Soon three gooslings flapped their tiny wings to explore the water first view of baby blue geese.
Fish Farms Successful
Computed Production of Fish 272 Pounds Per Acre
Washington, Sept. 19.—During the past summer the United States bureau of fisheries devoted several ponds at its Fairport, low, town to determining how much fish an area of water will produce. The amount must be given to the best species of fish to use, the proper amount of fertilizer necessary to produce an abundant plant and animal life to serve as food, the introduction of fertilizer for other animal food supply for the market stock, and so forth.
According to the United States Fisheries Service, a pond 5,200 square feet in area was stocked on May 4 with 300 select bighill yearlings. The pond was fertilized through the season, the reason is that it requires pounds per acre. The vegetation in this pond was very good, but not too abundant.
On Oct. 15, the pond was drained and 257 fish of the original stock were removed, the increase in weight of these fish was over 11 pounds greater than the weight of the original 300. In addition, the pond produced 12,600 feces with a combined weight of 9 pounds. The combination of fish flesh per piece from this stock was therefore about 272 pounds.
Animal proteins (meat, fowl and fish) are the high priced items of our diet. If we are to satisfy the appetite of our growing population we shall have to supplement land crops with water crop yields in larger areas the bureau fisheries points out, but our reclaimed areas would perhaps have been far better suited to water farming, according to officials of the bureau.

LaCoste Defeats Tilden for Tennis Championship

For two consecutive years Rene Lacosta is taking the net championship of the United States back to France. "Big Bill" Tilden is the defeated king, but he lost in a brilliant back court battle to the swift moving and hard driving Frenchman, N. Y. Saturday in straight sets: 11-9, 6-3 and 11-9.
Tilden's form was described by several writers as exceptional and his defiant was attributed to his inability to control his anger so he chose to chop Tilden's owl's feet first.
France stands undisputed in both team and individual play by virtue of this victory and the recent sweep of the Davis Cup competition. The team will win against Spain in the tennis season for the year as far as actual competition is concerned.
Shell Money Hoarded by Indians Received at New York Museum
Ancient Tribes Had Well Defined Systems of Monetary
Treasure
New York, Sept. 19. - In the days before the white man with his gold and silver currency arrived the northern part of California, the tribes known as the Tolowan, Karok, Tutoko and Hapa had a well defined monomial system established, the principal medium of exchange being the peculiarly shaped, long, white curving denture or t坎 shells.
Recently there came to the Ma soum of the American Indian Haiti Foundation several strings of this shell money. In the period of American occupation of California imam we were able to use it until the late 80s, this old currency circulated among the Indians and whites as well. Today, although new manuscripts are being made, "woman's denial" are quite common, the longer, quinnarily ornamented shells are becoming scavenger and scarser and it is only when some of the more mature pieces of living and imprinted by his younger and more modern relatives, reluctantly parts with his symbol of wealth, the old time money to light.
In primitive times, the dentalium shells used as money were from one and seven-cighits to two and three-cighits, and then three-cighits shells were valued at $5 each, the shortest between 25 and 50 cents. The shells were string on leather or cord, which was woven into a general length of the strings. The 11-shell string was the most valuable and allowing for fluctuation and wear. The armorials were roughly valued at $50.
Currency of this sort is in demand and the owners treasured it above all else. In order to keep the bank secure, they used deatulum" as it was called by the Yuroks, safe from harm, the Californian financiers carried their wealth in purses made of ek form, which were marked with incised geometric designs.
"The Brotherhood of Man," a chapter from his recently published book, "The Man of Gallice," formed the basis of the address made yesterday by Dr. William L. Burdick, vice-chairman and professor of law at the University of Glasgow, and class at the Scottish Rite Temple Kansas City, Kan.
Sarvis and Frazier Only Veterans Out for Cross Country
Captain Byron Sarvis and "Peso" Frater are the only two letter men around Dr. H. J. Huff, head coach of track and cross country, plans to build his 1927 cross country jamb.
Fairly Large Group of Runner Has Reported to Coach Huff. However
A fairly large number of candidates are working out over the S-mile course at the present time. Intensive training has been hindered by the heat, but if the present cool weather continues the team will be in fine condition for the Wisconsin run to be held in connection with the "Completion day" games in Memorial Stadium. The victory race will be the double Zone, cross country champion of the Big Ten conference, and Frazier, who placed second in the valley run last week. Frazier is the valley championship this season.
Starting with absolutely green material last year, the Kansas harriers won the runs. The defenders ran the runs. Franier won several races by decisive margins and was closely matched.
Tryouts will be held within the next two weeks to determine the entrants for the final round. Tryout may not be over the full five incase because of the cardiness
The men with previous variety or freshman experience who are reporting regularly for practice are instructors, coaches, and staff, Marshall, and Beardlee. Donald Saurean, a member of last year's squad, will enter school within the next

Berlin, South Hirsch-Germany is slowly creeping back to her former places in the sun as far as health is concerned. The number of births has risen since 1924 and the population is no longer decreasing, according to a report just issued by the government.
The live birth rate of 1925 shows an increase of 29.6 per 1000 over 29.5 of the year before and though the birth rate figures for the first nine months of 1925 are rising, during the growing year, the general death rate has fallen to 19.1 per 1000, almost the smallest in Europe. In spite of the housing shortage, tuberculosis mortality has decreased and in 1925 there were no epidemics of major infections, an increasing interest in sports are factors to which medical authorities attribute the improved well being of the people.

Providence, R. I., Sept. 19—Positive proof that beauty is only skin deep, at least in the realm of apples, was recently demonstrated by an experiment conducted by Roger B. Corbett of Rhode Island State Col
The apple that was rated first, when seen whole, shining in its brilliant red skin, ranked last in taste. In the test taste of the apple, it tasted second in second Rhode Island Greening third and the Rome Beauty last. The Rome Beauty, a dessert apple that is a favorite in North America, when peeled was found hearty tasting.
In another test to determine the distribution and consumption of apples, 48.5 percent were provided to Providence families. It was found 46.7 percent are eaten raw, 48.8 percent cooked, either in sauce or pure fruit juice, and used in salad constituted 4.8 percent.

Records of 63 of the medical schools showed that only 36 percent of the costs were paid by students' fees. The remainder came from state appropriations and private endowments. Actual cost of the training of each individual student ran up to $70 for the year, the statistics show. Students who attended classes paid by each student. The rapidly increasing cost of training new physicians is one of the pressing problems of medicine, authorities in the field believe.
