Sinbad, the dog, is fast ~ becoming a legend in his own right, destined to be Jong remembered when his oriental namesake is long forgotten, at least by members of the | United States Coast Guard who zealously femind you that Sinbad has no connection with the Navy. He's a member of the crew of the U. S. Coast Guard Cutter Campbell. Where did Sinbad come from? Who brought him aboard? No one rightly knows. Aska member of the Campbell's crew about Sinbad and you'll learn that the chunky, barrel-chested, black-haired mon- grel dog adopted the crew of the cutter , he has i become 9 most, valle thae aboard ship. ‘Sinbad is an Anite |_man’s dog.

He said: “I can not sub- mit to headquarters a log that says ‘sailed 0850, put back at 0900 to pick up a dog’.” Sinbad solved the problem for himself. He dived from the thirty foot dock into the icy waters and began to swim after the cutter. The captain underwent a swift change of heart at the courage of the little mongrel. Gruffly, he: ordered, “Put her about and pick him up, if he wants to be aboard that much." That was a lesson for Sinbad. He's never missed an~ other sailing.

ALONG, WATSON,SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE ‘HE most famed of all de- tective fiction writers was born May 22, 1859 in Picardy Place, Edinburgh, Scotland. His father, Charles Doyle, was an artist but earned his liveli- hood through government em- ployment. He was given the name “Conan” it honor of his uncle ‘and godfather, Michael Conan, who had married into the Doyle family. From his earliest childhood, Doyle's parents wished for him to enter the medical profession; and it was with this goal in-nind that young Arthur entered Stonyhurst Academy. Upon leaving Stonyhyrat, he spent one year at Feld Kirch in Austria and then entered Edinburgh University in 1875. ‘One of his professors at Edinburgh was the man who later became the prototype for Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Joseph Bell, Upon graduation, he opened his practice in Southsea in England but didn’t do well at first. Therefore, he supplemented his mea- ger incone by writing short stories. In the first year of his short lived medical career, he wrote his first full-length novel, entitled “The Firm of Girdleston.” The re- ception of this work by the publishers is best described by the author himself. In speaking of the manuscript, he said, “It re- turned with ‘the precision of a homing pigeon.” In 1885, he martied and in due time be- came the father of two ehildren, a girl and a boy. The boy, Kingsley, was later wounded in World War I and died soon after the Armistice was signed. ‘The first Sherlock Holmes work, “A Study in Scarlet,” appeared in 1886 but met with no particular success. It did not serve its main purpose of bringing financial gain to Doyle, but it did help to introduce Holmes and foil, Dr. Watson, to the reading public Before the monthly deluge of Sherlock Holmes stories began in the Strand ‘Magazine in 1891. Here, they met great success and the |} monthly stories continued to |} appear until 1896 when Doyle }} tired of writing detective fice tion and turned historian and lecturer. ‘In 1892, the Doyle family ]] had to move to Switzerland] ‘because of the ill health of Mrs, Doyle, | While in Switzerland, Doyle introduced the | ‘sport of skiing to the land of the Alps. | In 1894, he made a lecture tout of the United | States, This was the first of many trips he | made to this country. Upon his return to | Europe in 1895, he again moved his family. ‘This time to Egypt. Here, he had his first turn at being a war correspondent, a post he was also to hold in the first World War. During the Boer War, he remained at Thome in England, to which he had finally. returned because of his duties to his ill wife, | After the war, when England was assailed by her opponents for waging war against | the Boers, Doyle wrote a pamphlet defend: | ing England's conduct. For outstanding vice to his country, he was knighted by the King of England in 1902. Soon afterw: in 1906, his wife died of tuberculosis. Although Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is mo noted for his work dealing with Sherlock Holmes, he has many more accomplishments to his céedit. In the literary field, he was] novelist, historian, short story writer, and poet. Whatever one maysay about him, one thing is certain: he was versatile. Not only. was he a writer and doctor, but he was also a world traveler, war correspondent, spor man, lecturer, and a spiritualist. On July 7, 1930, at the age of 71, Sit Arthur Conan Doyle died after an illness © nine months, ]PIONEERS OF SCIENCE WILLIAM MURDOCK “Father of Gaslight” ‘ODAY, in the era of electricity and elec trie lights, the sight of the lamp-lighter is almost a forgotten one. Our fathers, however, can recall the days that saw the community lamp-lighters making their rounds of the lamp posts cach evening providing illumination for the community. This was a tedious job inasmuch as each lamp had to be lit individually ; a central plant having been unknown, The evolution of the fore- runner of electrical lighting was an interesting, although drawn out, one. It was not until 1794 that the dark of night was shattered with the light of the gas lamp. This epochal event turned out the residents of Cornwall, England as they swarmed to the home of William Mur- dock to see this startling innovation. But for the complete story, we must go back to the year of 1733. A group of coal miners, in the mining sec- tion’ of England, had built an encasement for the gas that is found in mines and by con- structing a metal tubing to control its flow, directed the gas to the surface of the ground. One daring young fellow then ignited the gas which burst into a flame, giving off a bright and clear light. The fire continued ail night and lighted up the entire countryside. This experiment was designed as nothing more than just a curious and prankish trick, Its potential value lay undeveloped for several years. Four years later, one of the observers of this incident started experimenting with gas, which he labeled “the spirit of coal.” He burned coal and caught the escaping gas in a hollow bladder. He then pricked a small hole in the bladder and lighted the escaping gas which burned until it was expended. The unfortunate part of this experiment was that it was developed no further than to amuse his friends. ‘The actual harnessing of this gas into a useful and worth- while project was Ieft to an enterprising young Scotsman, William Murdock. Murdock, as a youth, showed that he was an enterprising and ingenious young man with his hands, as well as his mind, When he left, home to seek employment with a steam-engine manufacturer in Birmingham, Ei |, he was called in for antinterview. During his conversation with his prospective employer, he was so nervous, he dropped the hat that he was holding in his hands. The noise as the hat hit the floor was 80 exceptional that the interviewer inquired about it. Murdock blushed and confessed that it was wooden, ani that he had made it him- self on his father’s Tathe at-home. Impressed with his ingenuity, the employer gave Mur- dock the job. His usefulness around the factory was fre- quently proven as Murdock was always da- vising some new way of simplifying a job. Many of his inventions were accepted by his firm and he was soon sent to Cornwall to take over one of their plants. Shortly after his arrival there, he started experimenting with coal gas. At first, he filled a metal case with the gas and then fastened a thimble, with several holes punched in it, to a metal tube leading from the case. He lighted the gas and improvised a lantern for himself. Later, he filled a flexible bladder with gas and used this as a lantern on the then dark streets at night. Still not content with his develop. ments, Murdock piped gas into his house from the garden where he burned coal. Thus, his was the first house ever to be lighted by gas. Quizzical and skeptical at first, his neigh- bors soon realized that Murdock had come upon 2 novel and highly effective means of bringing light into the home without the usual dirt and inconvenience of candles and old fashioned lanterns, Murdock applied this principte in His employer's home and later, im 1803, their factory. was the first in history to be entirely illuminated with this strange new method, Gas light was finally a practical thing?To dre Btery ites Meni Dear Madam, Mass. 2h 1964 NTENSELY human—deeply sym- pathetic to the sufferings of others— ‘Lincoln was appalled by the magnitude ‘of the tragedy which struck Mrs. Bixby.

Utterly ruthless in warfare, the Chey- enne warrior was equally fear- less. In fact, their bravery led - the Cheyennes to take risks not usually taken by members ‘of other tribes with the re- sult that they lostymore of their ,warriors in proportion to their numbers when they rode forth on the warpath. ‘The women of the Chey- ennes were as warlike as the men, It was not uncommon for women to accompany raiding parties on their forays against the enemy Sometimes the women were just as effi- cient as the men in riding down an enemy and killing him, The Cheyennes were quick to take offense and quick to take revenge against injuries by another tribe. If the young Cheyenne warriors showed reluctance to take to the warpath, the women of the tribe would beg them to take vengeance on their enemies, The killing of enemies was the only solace for injuries or insults suffered by the Chey- ennes More than any other single factor, it ‘was the horse which changed the Chey- ennes from a peaceful, agricultural people into a tribe of looting, murdering savages The Cheyennes were horse stealer, and if it became necessary to kill their enemies in order to possess the enemy's horses, then the Cheyennes did so. The name Cheyenne was applied to these people by their enemies, the Sioux. It's taken ftom the name Sha-hi-yena, meaning ‘people of alien speech,’ The Cheyenne called themselves Dzitsiistas which may be interpreted as meaning ‘tall people.’ ‘The Cheyennes have a tradition of an age when war was unknown and uni- versal peace prevailed. That was before they had an incentive to raid and rob their neighbors. The horse provided the in- centive. Until the coming of the horse, the only possessions of the Plains tribs except food and clothing, were their dogs, and their arms and implements of stone and wood. When the Chey- ennes discovered the useful ness of this great four-leg- ged creature, they put aside their agricultural habits. Here was a creature they learned whose possession added to the comfort and freedom of the people. On its back they could carry loads which here- tofore they had carried them- selves. It carried them and their families where they pleased; it permitted the pur- suit of buffalo and: its trans- portation over long distances to camp. The Cheyennes quickly discovered, too, that a tribe could not have too many horses. Other valu- able things could be exchanged for horses. Only two ways of getting horses were known—by capturing those running wild on the prairie and by taking those of neighboring tribes. Among Plains Indians, it became a regular practice to steal horses belonging to their neighbors. In this practise, the Cheyennes excelled, Outstanding among Cheyenne chiefs was Yellow Wolf, a great general, a great planner. Yellow Wolf seldom, or never, went to war for scalps. He was noted as to taker of horses, especially from the Kiowas and Comanches. Yellow Wolf seemed always to know where the Comanches would be at certain ies of the year, and would set out to get horses from them.‘The invasion of the enemy's territory was taken with utmost caution. re always sent ahead to look ‘over the country. Climbing to. the tops 6f hills, the scouts would scan the. sur- rounding . country carefully, to see if people were about, if smoke could be seen. If there were no signs of the en: ‘emy, the sdouts signalled the main party to come up, and then they, the scouts, ‘went on ahead to another point af obser- vation. When the Comanche or Kiowa camp was sighted, the raiding party would go as close to it as seemed safe, and then wait for nightfall. ‘The Cheyennes would wait until their -enemies had fallen asleep, and then they would creep down into the camp taking what horses they could. When approach- ing the camp, they usually separated and entered it in pairs. It was the work of the older men—those who had much ex- perience—to go about through the camp, ‘cut loose the more valuable horses which ‘would be tied in front of the lodges, and lead them out. While this was being done, the younger Cheyenne ‘warriors gathered up the loose animalyfeeding on the prairie near by and drove them to the arranged meeting place. Sometimes the men who went into the camp for the more valuable horses would make several trips in order to steal as many as possible. ‘These horses became the personal prop- erty of the men who stole them. ‘Tt was seldom that the tribes whose horses had been stolen were able to come up with the Cheyennes once the raiders had a few hours start. The Cheyennes drove the horses at top speed and very often kept going without a rest for twenty-four hours or more, Horses which were not able to keep up the pace were abandoned to be picked up by the pur- suers. The fast pace : ‘of the horse thieves and their ability to change mounts fre- quently gave them an advantage over their pursuers, each ‘of whom had only a ‘single mount to ride. ‘Once back in their village, the Cheyenne raiders would dis- “courting a girl might pose of the horses. Sometimes they gave them all away. A young warrior who was ive his horses up to her father’s lodge arid leave them as a present, Among the Cheyennes, as well as other Plaina Indians, the most esteemed quality was courage. The warpath provided the best opportunities to show courage. It has been mistakenly held by a great many persons that the taking of a sealp measured the esteem in which a warrior was held by his people. Such was not the case with the Cheyennes or the other Plains tribes. A scalp was simply a trophy, something to show, something to dance over—a good thing, but of no great importance; but to touch the enemy with something held in the hand, with the bare hand, or with any part of the body, was a proof of braver; a feat which entitled the manor the who did it to the greatest credit. ‘When an enemy was killed, each of those nearest to him tried to be the first to reach him and touch him, usually by striking the body with something held in the hand—a gun, bow, whip, or stick. Anyone who wished might scalp the dead. In Indian estimation, the bravest act that could be performed was to count, touch or strike a living, unhurt man and to leave him alive. This was frequently done. It was not unusual among Cheyennes when they faced an opposing line of en- emy tribesmen for one of the Cheyennes to charge upon the enemy, strike one of them and then rejoin his own party. If the daring warrior was knocked from his horse, or his horse was killed under him, his companions would charge and try to rescue him, Few were the tribes which did not fear the Cheyennes, most daring of the Plains Indians, Often out- numbered in their engagements, with other tribes and the white men, the war- riors of this fearless tribe were never out», fought, Theysuccum- bed at last only tothe white man’s superior weapons and over- powering numbers.PIONEERS OF SCIENCE THOMAS. ALVA EDISON ‘HOMAS ALVA EDISON was born in Milan, Ohio, February 11, 1847, the son of Samuel and Nancy Edison. His first spectacu- lar experiment nearly cost him his life, Whea not quite seven, he set fire to his father's barn, just to see, he afterward confessed, what it | would do, It burned to the ground, and had there been a wind it might have wiped out the little town of ‘Milan, whose only claim to fame is the place of his birth, Edison did not show much prom- ise while at school, and at the age of ten he was taken out of school and taught by his mother. Al- though poor in mathematics, he developed a strong taste for chemistry, and made himself a laboratory, which, since all the bottles were labeled “poison,” was an object of alarmed ‘admiration by all the people in the neighborhood. In his early teens he became a train “butcher,” selling magazines, tobacco and candy on the long ‘runs, at the same time operating 2 chemical labora. ‘tory in a baggage car. It was in his railroad lab- oratory that he had an accident which caused him life-long deafnes He spent much time reading and acquired the habit of, going for long periods without sleep. In 1863 he became a telegraph operator and wandered through the middle west from one job to another, learning much, reading constantly, and continuing this chemical experiments in every spare moment. His carly inventions were with telegraphy. In 1874, he made “quadrupent telegraphy” prac- Gea.

He invented the phonogaph in 1877, his pane single achieve ‘ment from the standpoint of dar- ing imagination. Viewed at the time chiefly asa curiosit; paid little attention to it for ten ‘years, but later tured to it again and made many improvements. Tt was. the development of the incandescent lamp, however, which brought Edison his greatest fame and financial succes with the incandescent lamp date back at least to 1840, when it was demonstrated before the Royal Society by Sir William Robert Grove. Edison's worle on the’ lamp introduced the improvements which were necessary for its com- mon use and cheap production, and he was responsible for the system of lighting widely distributed lamps from one central station— fan immense engineering achievement. In 1891, Edison patented an apparatus for exhib- ing photographs of moving objects and what was known as the kinetographic camera, This was. simply a° peep-show without projector or a screen, Edison, however, such towards the modern development of mot “By this time, th Park had grown to he moved to West Orage, where he built a larger ‘and more modern establishment, Here he perfected the vacuum tube, and invented the storage battery used in submarines, railway signals and mine Hght- ing. After the firkt World War he received the Distinguished Service Medal for his successful re- search in torpedo mechanism, flame-throwers and submarine periscopes. Thomas Edison has often been called a genius, but perhaps the best’ definition of the word can be found in E 's own epigram that “genius is two percent inspiration and ninety-eight percent per- ppiration.” His death on October 18, 1931, brought to anend a spectacular career and one” of the world's greatest benefactors. roportions, and
