If he finds that he can stand it, Barnett will make It permanent--with the consent of the United States government, of which he is a ward. Barnett until recently lived In a two room block house at Henryetta, thirty miles from Muskogee, wore cheap clothes, smoked cheap tobacco and didn't even own a phonograph-- which is an odd way to live for one rated as worth $5,000,000. While at Henryetta Bamett was well satisfied in his two rooms, and let his guardian, attorneys and agents of the Indiaa agency In Muskogee and Washington worry about the millions flowing from oil wells on his property. Bis wants were few and the money went Into the banks of Oklahoma on deposits made by the Indian agency to his credit Bought Liberty Bonds. When the war was on thousands of dollars of his money went Into Liberty bonds and War Savings stamps. Contributions were made to institutions of learning, and Jackson lived the simple life, never going more than a few miles from his cabin. Then be met Mrs. Anna Laura Lowe and they married. "Kidnaping," is what Baroett's agents called it. Barnett was held under restraint until Victor M. Locke, Jr„ became superintendent of the Indian agency In Muskogee. Locke decided: "A wealthy Indian has as araeh right to spend his money as a wealthy white man." Burnett and his wife and her daughter sought to make a dent in (he $5,- 000,000 pile. Mrs. Barnett said her husband needed a change, and the government consented to a vacation in Canada. After that vacation the Indian was unhappy for the flrst time in his life and refused to go ba<$ to the cabin and cheap clothea. Let Indian Decide. i "We are going to let the Indian hlihaelf decide where he wants to live," Superintendent Locke said. "If be wants to live in Muskogee, all right. If he chooses some other city we have about 2,500 B. C., and It is believed nothing to say in the way of object- that remains of an even earlier period "There's no truth in the report that we are going to spend $200,000 for a residence for Jackson Barnett," Locke said, "but we are going to see to it that he has a house in keeping with his wealth and on* with whlchMrwill be satisfied." •*> UNCOVERS CiTY OF 2,500 B.

The columns of lava burrowedf 40eeper into the ocean than man had 'been able to penetrate, and thousands of fish of strange and fantastic shape and color were killed and washed up on the beach by the tidal wave caused by the lava flow. Among them were found six varieties hitherto unknown to science because their habitat was presumably ioww in the nstGr than science bad been able to observe. Amateur ichthyologists in Hilo, Hawaii, selected species which were unknown to them and sent them to Doctor Jordan for examination. The result was that the six new species were classified.

" ' . y i r commercial Quantities in the ^United States date from 1918. Hie year before the English government had sought samples of gas from America in its search for helium for use in airships. The United States was not then at war and proceeded cautiously. Dr. R. B. Moore of the United States bureau of mines, who had received the British communication, recalled that Doctor Cady and his assistant, D. F. McFarland, had discovered the gas In unusual quantities in the mid-continent natural gas, and' later Doctor Cady and C. W. Selbel, also of the University of Kansas, were employed In the plans for the construction later of three helium plants in Texas. Find Helium in U. S. Two small plants were completed In March and May, 1918, and began the production of helium. Their output was not great, bat 200,000 cubic feet of helium had been produced and much of it had been compressed into cylinders for shipment to France when the signing of the armistice made that unnecessary. A third plant at Petrolia, Texas, near Fort Worth, was completed a few days before the armistice, and experimentation was continued there after the war until halted by diminished appropriations. PROFESSOR CADY GIVES FACTS Tells of Government's Experiments With Helium and Cost of Producing it in Experimental Stages-- , Found in Three Statea. Lawrence, Kan.--Ail the helium or nonexpiosive balloon gas now available in the world would have been entirely inadequate to lift the ZR-2, the dirigible that was to have been the nucleus of America's air navy, according to a statement by Prof. H. P. Cady of the University of Kansas department of chemistry. Doctor Cady discovered that helluip was a constituent of the natural gas of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and performed notable experiments in the early days of the World war in developing processes for commercial production of helium. Before the war, he said, probably not more than a hundred cubic feet of this gas had been obtained in a fairly pure state, ai?d that was secured at a cost of $1,700 to $2,000 a cubic foot for experimental purposes. Total production after extensive experiments by, the United States government probably does not exceed 300,000 cubic feet up to the present, but while the cost of production has been reduced greatly, still this cost,, compared to the cost of hydrogen, commonly used for Inflating balloons, la tremendously high. Forced to Use Hydrogen. "It Is not strange, then," said Doctor Cady, "that England used the comparatively inexpensive hydrogen for the ZR-2. During the experimental stages the gas bag had to be emptied at times to allow changes In the structure. Practically the only place to get the helium Is from the natural gas of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and thus far processes of reduction have not been perfected. Only 1 per cent or less of the natural gas Is helium, and this helium has to be refined to a purity of 90 per cent or better before It has the nonlnflammabie quality demanded for safety in balloon construction.

The limited quantity "of the material, its high cost and Its value In war balloons probably will make It imperative for the government to reserve all helium for its own use." Doctor Cady explained that even the best balloon covers did not prevent entirely the escope of lifting gases, and It Is necessary constantly to supply fresh gaS. This is more true of hydrogen than of helium, but the wastage Is there, and the continued operation of even a small fleet of war balloons would demand a constant supply of fresh helium. Experiments ut the University of Kansas showed that the helium must be nearly 90 per cent pure in order to be safe. Similar experiments in< Canada showed comparatively small explosions when mixtures containing only 75 per cent of helium were Ignited.

Monster That Once Roamed In the Malay Forests Measures 25 Feet FTeM Tip of Its Head to Ita Tail. r-._ • -"r' Washington.--The world*# largest captive snake is now an inhabitant of the National zoological park In Washington. It is a large regal or reticulated python that once roamed In the Malay forest From the tip of its head, to Its tall is about 25 feet long. This species of python grows to be larger in- size than any snake In existence, and while a specimen that measured a little less than 30 feet long was once killed, It is believed that the snake now in Washington is the largest on exhibition. A special cage of extra thick glass was built to house the new python, which came from New York in a heavy wooden box perforated with small holes to allow circulation of air. The large python did not dine on its Journey, as It only goes to dinner once in three or four weeks. But these infrequent meals usually consist of a large pig or even a small deer or antelope, which is crushed to death in i-ijwij'1;;' the colls of the snake and then swallowed whole and digested while the snake passes away the time lying partly submerged in cool water until its next meal time arrives. If this great regal python were a star attraction in a circus, he would probably be bally-hooed as a "boa constrictor that eats men alive." According to Dr. N. Hollister, superintendent of the National Zoological park, who was chairman of the n»»w python reception committee, most of the snakes that are shown In the "greatest shows on earth" and advertised as boa constrictors are pythons, which are usually larger snakes. The circus variety of python is usually the rock or black speties that grows 12 to 15 feet long and are £qund in South America.' These do not. compare in size with the larger regal ppecies that are found In the Malay regions, parts of Asia and the Philippines. The Washington zoo has three specimens of the smaller pythons. The new snake has been secured as part payment for a baby hippopotamus that the National Zoological park raised last year. Most of the additions to the zoo are secured by exchange in this way. The world's largest snake coat $2 per pound. Its exchange value was $500, and It is estimated to weigh close to 250 pounds. ' ' , ' .

The absentee of house flies to Alaska has raised the question as to whether therw Is a northern limit to the house fly. Heretofore, it lias 'been assumed that the domestic fly accompanies man wherever life Is possible, but Doctor Aidrich's observation has thrown a new light on the subject. The absence of horses and their manure in Inflge quantities tnay be a minor reason for the absence of the house fly, but climate seems to be the prlnclpsl one. Even In the southern end of Alaska's panhandle at Ketchikan there are salmon factories, bouses and stores, all unscreened, and with absolutely no traces of the common fly, A few of the rarer flies that are found In the United States also live in Alaska, but in Insignificant numbers.
