It would be an exaggeration to 'talk as some writers do, of an "epi- i ic." It is nothing of the sort. A dozen or two deaths in a population lof 150 millions mean nothing. These ideaths, however, do speak eloquently the ineradicable pessimist of the sinscrutable "Asiatic, in the blood of ithis Russian people which prefers to ithink itself European. 1 Version of Hari-Kari { ' Most of the suicide were in ans- wer to accusations against the vic- itims in the press or by word: of mouth," Self-annihiliation as an ans- wer to insults and slanders--have we not another version of the oriental itradition of hari-kari? Just as a child, wrongly punished, hopes to die, so the teacher or parent' may feel sorry, these. people killed them- selves to show the community its error.

Leonid Lebedev was a Com- munist printer, employed by the Worker, He was in love with Zim- ariova, a member of the Communist youth, who worked in the same es- tablishment. One day Lebedev saw among the copy for the next day's paper an article attacking him be- cause he dared to love Zimariova. The girl, in turn, had a few days earlier been called unworthy of mem- bership in the Communist youth be- cause certain members of her fam- ily were living like bourgeoise. The article called for his expulsion from the party, just as the previous at- tack on the girl had urged her ex- pulsion from the youth organization. Answer by Death Lebedev dropped his work that day. Later he and Zimariova were found dead by their own hands, They felt themselves too unjustly accused to argue or defend themselves. In frue oriental fashion they answered by suicide.

The most important work of Mex- ican archieologists in the Maya area this year was the restoration of tan, The white limestone temple of Kukulkan, topping a great pyramid which ds the ient city, its entrances guarded by warrior- priests carved on the door lintels and by feathered serpent columns, is now practically completed. 'The pyramid itself onge faced with limestone slabs held on in panel and provided with four steep stairways, is being reconstructed on its north and west faces with the fallen ma- terial, the rest to remain as found. In Uxmal, another Maya city of Yucatan, repairs have been complet- ed on the falling facades of the Gov- ernor's House, called the most beau- tiful royal dwelling known, In the ancient Toltec city of Teo- tihuacan on the Mexican highlands, excavations were made this year in front of the "Subterranean Buildings which are noted for their frescoes. Walls, floors and terraces were found, and pottery pieces, one of which bears the painted figure of a Toltec priest.

THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1929 AUSTRALIAN WILDS | + TOBE EXPLORED Public Support to be Asked for Exploring of Great Ter- ritory in Northwest Perth, W, Aust.--Although Austra- lia has been a British settlement for close upon 1% centuries there is still a big section of it--equal in size to Great Britain--still practicaily un- explored, That section is in the far north- west, about 2000 miles from Perth, with Wyndham on the southeast cor- ner and Derby on the southwest cor- ner, as its nearest points of civiliza- tion. A project fo explore this arca and the islands lying near it has been submitted by C. L. K. Foot to Lord Apsley, who visited Australia some years ago, and to the British Royal Geographical Society. While Lord Apsley is prepared to assist the British Royal Geographi- cal Society, considers the undertak- ing too big for it to handle, and that the Comomnwealth Government should take the matter up. Mr. Foot is now engaged in an endeavor to secure moral support for the venture in Australia in the hope that if he arouses local enthusiasm he will be able to raise the necessary funds in London to send out a scientific ex- pedition. Three expeditions have been through portions of the area and pearlers from Broome have landed in some of the harbors and bays, but up to the present no properly equip- ped expedition has been sent out. So far as is know the country to be in- vestigated consists of open plains, high ranges of sandstone, deep gorges and ravines, savannahs, lagoons and rivers. The lagoons are believed to one-quarter of "SALAD SALADA has the finest flavour in the world and it costs enly a cent a cup A' TEA 'Fresh from the gardens' be covered with duck, geese, egrets, jabaroos, cranes, and a large number of mammals, while the rivers and swamps abound mn crocodiles and al- ligators, DOWAGER DUCHESS' TRIBUTE TO SON London.--The Dowager Duchess of Abercorn, of Park street, W., an intimate friend of Queen Alex- andra, and one of the four Duch- esses who carried the conopy over' her at her coronation, has left $15,845. ; She bequeathed all her proper- ty except her 'clothing to her son, Lord Claud Nigel Hamilton, "whose devotion and kindness has been my greatest help and comfort through 80 many tragedies and dark days" requesting that he would give me- mentoes to those whom she may have indicated. ° The tragedies mentioned in the will were family losses in the war. The late Duchess, whose husband died in 1913, was deeply distress- ed by the loss of a son in action and by the war deaths ef many near relations.
