A small shift of men Is at work In the round house but the repair shops are idle. Approximately 100 trainmen are idle and a number of engineers are also out of work. To conduct a campaign for the eradi cation of scab among central Oregon sheep, Dr. R. A. Parsons, represent lng the United States bureau of anl nial industry has arrived in Oregon and will make his headquarters in Bend. Dr. Parsons considers that the prevalence of scab Is decreasing In Oregon, and that the chief source of in (action is from sheep imported from northern California and Nevada. Enough coal of a good grade will be taken from the Beaver Hitl mine near Marshfield to supply all the needs ol the Willamette valley, in addition to! these of the Coos Bay country, ac cording to G. W. K ans, consulting en ! glneer of the So-.thern Pacific com ! pany. The mine, s subsidiary of the Southern Pacific, has been under de '. velopment for a number of years and the company has made energetic ef forts in the last year to increase the, production to an amount which would be sufficient to supply the needs of th , valley.

I asked myself why. since a Kiuike sheds its skin, u man who Is afflicted with disease should not be aide to ilo the same thing. in Singapore there was a rich Chi nese leper, known as Ong Si Chew, who asked me repeatedly why 1 did uot hriug him some new remedy for his disease. Since he hud a large household of servants who took care of him. and his own carriages and richshas when he traveled, he was allowed to live untroubled by the au thorities; but he was very unhappy, because he had tried all the remedies Of the native doctors and was stead ily growing worse. At lust I told Mm that I had some thing that , night help. He asked me What It was, but I would not tell him. When he insisted. I unswered, "Snakes." "I'l-la I" lie exclaimed, w aving his arms In the air. Then l explained my theory. The ability of a snake to shed his skin might be transferred to a human be ing if he ate snakes'; and if so, the person would be able to shed his Up rosy, dng Si Chew did not care for the idea at all, hut I told him If was worth trying and I argued that a snake la much cleaner than an eel. At last he consented, and I furnished him with a number of small pythons, with the Instructions that they were to be killed and cleaned immediately before they were eaten. He was to eat them raw with his rice. I left Singapore sism after that, and when I returned I found that Ottf SI Chew had died. People thought It was h great Joke on me tiecausv my patient had not survived the treatment, but I am far from being convinced that the cure will not work or, at least, help to throw off leprosy. Ong SI Chew was in Hie last stages of the disease, and his case was not n fair test. Charles Mayer. In Asia Magazine. Polly Remembered Cyclone. A parrot, named Polly I.nngston, died recently at the age of fifty-three. A native of Missouri, Polly was a feathered prodigy whose remarkable talents Included many vocal and lin guistic accomplishments, she could sing and talk in English as well as Spanish, her mother tongue; pray and sing several of the old familiar hymns, which she had picked up at church and social gatherings, besides having a wide repertory of conversa tional "small talk." At one time, when the circus came to her local town, and Polly had poured forth her sage salutations to the passing para ders, the attention of the late P. T. Karnum was attracted to her and a large cash offer was made for her. but her owner could not be Induced to part with her. She remembered to her passing hour an event of her early life when a cyclone wrecked the town and brought death to scores of the In habitants. Polly survived by a mir acle, but for more tliHii 40 years aft erwards whenever the dnrk clouds gathered she became so frantic with fear that It was necessary to put her where she would escape the lightning's flash and the roar of thunder. COFFIN OF ATTILA Burial Place of the Great Hun Leader Reported Found. FOR SALE Butter Wrappers, neat ly printed on parchment Tradition as to Final Resting Place of "Scourge of God" Seems to Have B;en True. A correspondent of the London limes reports the discovery in south ern Hungury of what archeologists declare Is the coffin of Attlla the Hun, known to the Christian nations nf the Fifth century as "the Scourge -f God." The find was made In the ed of the Arankti river, a small tribu tary of the Theiss between the towns ot Szegedin and Temesvsr. This discovery seems to support the persistent tradition regarding the great Hun leader's burial which has lived Cor almost 1,600 years. His death iccurred soon after his Invasion of Italy and on the night of his marriage. H's body was carried across southern Austria at the head of his army and In Hungary, at a spot which was known only to a few of his chief offi cers, the corpse was inclosed In three coffins, the first of gold, the second of sliver, and the third of Iron, and burled. The captives who were as signed to the task of burying the body were strangled in order that the place of the Interment might be kept a secret from Attlla's foes. For centuries there has been a great fascination in the search for relics of the Huns, for it was thought that they might throw some light upon these strange, almost unknown Asiatic Invaders of Europe. The country along the A ranks river and around Szegedin has been industriously searched for evidence of their suc cesses In Europe. Some rare and beautiful gold ves sel'; have been unearthed In this re gion. These relics are preserved among the Hnpshurg treasures. While thee have been Identified us belonging to some of the peoples of the early mi gration from the East they have not been proved definitely to have be longed to the Huns. The latest find is thus especially noteworthy; not only Is It the most valuable, but at the sumo time It is the most sought after of all the Hun treasures. The memory of Attlla nnd his bands of savage barbarians was re vived during the World war. The devastation they wrought In the lands OVer which they swept seemed to fur nish the only apt comparison for the desolation left by the modern invader. The people of central and southeast ern Europe would question today If the ravages of their country by the Fifth century Huns left in their trail us much suffering ami sorrow as were left by the World war.

J. Tenfold of the Australian Commonwealth Se rum Institute, London. Iu preparing diphtheria and other serums, the plasma or fluid of I tie blood drawn from horses has been separated after the red corpuscles have settled, and the latter have been thrown uwa. Conceiving that tills practice might be Improved, Doctor I'entlcld returned the red corpuscles into the veins of a horse that had been bled. The result of this Injection was an astonishing quickening of the formation of new blood, and, while the normal average of blood In a horse Is 8S quarts, It was found that 50 quarts in a week could be drawn from tile animal with out lessening vitality more than the usual smaller bleeding. The compo sition of the blood was not materially affected. Following the first eerl ment, the red corpuscles have been returned to the entire SO or 40 horses bled In the institute, and the effect is (lie same In all. Arbor Day Arbor Day was observed on Lincoln's birthday. After as sembly and a short program the trees were planted. Each class planted and dedicated a tree. The seniors planted their tree at the northwest corner of the school grounds. They named it "Old Abe." The junors planted their tree on the west side and christened it "Nancy." The nost graduate class chistened her tree "Twin." The fresh men class, after a lot of fuss and worry, succeeded in planting a sapling, but owing to their youth and inexperience they haven't been able as yet to sel ect a name. It will probably die anyway. Three new pupils have enroll- ed in our school: Raymond Han- go, eighth grade. Maymie Han go.sixth grade and Kay Dempey, eighth grade.

Have It Printed Lightship's Perilous Voyage. BhlpS were Imperiled when Nimtuck et Shoales beacon, the leading mark for transatlantic shipping making port at New York, was torn from Its lone ly and important station by a hurri cane. After inquiry from several ships that missed the floating beacon and almost anxious search by a wire less combing of the seas, the mystery of the lightship's disappearance was solved when she put In at New Bed ford. The lightship had been thirty six hours making port on u run of 100 miles. The hurricane, which blew her away and snapped the moorings, renchfd a velocity of ninety miles mi hour. Mate L, O. Johnson, her keep er, said that It was much as he and bis fifteen men could do to hold their own. Light vessels are not built for speed, and their emergency equipment Is not often called on.
