Latest Notes In Science World SEVEN NEW JAGUARS. Scientists of the National Museum Im Washington have just discovered seven new kinds of jaguars, the largest extant members of the cat family in the New World, Previous ly only nine species were recognized. One usually thinks of new scientific Bnds as resulting from expeditions to fa. off and strange places. The mu- gcum scientists, however, wiscovered - the new species right' in their own backyard, in the present collection of the institution. Dr. Edward J. Nel- on, ascociate in zoology at the mu- teum, and Edward A. Goldman, senior biologist of the United States Bio- logical Survey, were the men who "re- worked" the muserm collections to discover the new finds, Reporting the results of their inten- sive :tudy in "The Journal of Mam- malogy," Nelson and Goldman state that their work shows the ferocity of the big cats in their attacks on other animals, "It is doubtful," says the report, "whether any wild or domestic animal is safe from their onslaughts, Cattl:, "horses and hogs are included in known jaguar depredations, and many ac- counts indicate their special fondn ss for the flesh of peccaries (small wild hog-like animals)." The range of the jaguar extends from Arizona and the Rio Grande Valley south to south- central Argentina. : SLEEPING SICKNESS. Recent reports of the outbreak of "gleeping sickness" in this country emphasize again that the name is a misnomer. It canpot be expected that the public will call the disease by its n edical name of encephalitis lethar- gica, but some other choice might be made. The confusion arises because some cases of encephalitis have sleepi- ness as a symptom in certain stages. to combat it are still in their infancy, One group, however, has been organ- ized to study the affliction, This is the Matheson Commission on Ence- phalitis started in 1928 to foster re- search on the disease, The first yeass of study were devoted to a compilation of all the existing literature on the subject, with an elaborate index to ready research, Following this labor- «tory research was effected which was instrumental, in connection with independent findings by other scien- tists, in showing that the disease is probably caused by a filterable virus. With the identity of the causative agent now fixed within limits the problem of attack is under way. The recent outbreaks have spurred those efforts, ANTARCTIC BROADCASTS, 'When Signor Guglielmo Marconi arrives in New York one of his first appointments will be to discuss radio problems incidental to the Byrd ex- pedition to Antarcticia with Admiral Byrd. . Much of the transmission from Little America will be by short wave and radio engineers regard the pro- posed regular, scheduled broadcasts as the most difficult commercial engi- neering problem ever undertaken in radio. kK One trouble is that the transmitter at Byrd's base will have a power of only 1,000 watts, hardly more than the amount of energy used in a house- hold electric iron. Many broadcast- ing stations, it will be recalled, use 50,000 watts power. : The biggest obstacle in the proposed job will be meteorological conditions, not particularly the weather, but the magnetic disturbances: which produce static and some types of fading. The shortwave link in the chain of trans- mission is about 10,000 miles. While - adio engineers have spanned greater distances the successful results were not obtained with such a lack of metegrological data, low transmitting power and geographic inaccessibility. € | gang, SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER XXVIII The time came to Jim, as if he dreamed, when all sounds changed, lessened, faded away, except the pe- culiar thrashing of the stream below. And he got to listening for that sound, which occurred only occasionally. For a while the sliding rush of heavy water swept on, suddenly to change into a furious splashing. At length Jim calculated it was a strong current laden with sand, which at times causes billows to rise and lash their twisting tips back upon themselves, Long he heard these slowly diminishing, gradually separ- ating sounds, The streams ceased flowing, the slides ceased slipping, the rocks ceas- ed rolling and the waterfall failed from a thundering to a hollow roar and from that to a softening splash, Jim imagined he saw dim stars out in a void that seemed to change from black to gray. Was dawn at hand? Had they been' spaxed? The gurgle of the stream below merged into the distant, low rumble of the Dirty De- vil. Jim rested there, staring out at the spectral forms on the opposite wall, thinking thoughts never before inhabitants of his confused brain. But the sky was graying, the gorge taking shape in the gloom, and this place which had heard a din of hid- eous sounds was silent as a grave. At last Jim had to accept a mar- velous phenomenon--dawn was at hand. Gently he slipped Helen into the hollow of the saddle. She was still asleep. His eramped limbs buck- led under him and excruciating pains shot through his bones and muscles. "In the gray light objects were dis- cernible. He could not see to the head of the gorge, where the waterfall had plunged out from the wall." But sil- nee meant that it had been surface water, a product of the storm, and it ROBBERS' ROOST 4 by ZANE GREY not see a dull chafing of waters came to his ears. "Blue Valley!....Helen we're out of the brakes!....Safe! Men live here," : She heard him, for she smiled up into his face, glad for his sake, but in her exhaustion beyond caring for her own. There was no sign of habitations, nor any smoke, But Jim knew this was Blue Valley. It was long, per- haps fifteen miles, and probably the farms were located at the head, where irrigation had been possible. How | could even pioneers utilize that fero- cious river? ; The startling beauty of this lost valley struck Jim next. It resembled a winding jewel of emerald and ame- thyst, set down amid barren hills of jasper and porphyry, and variegated mosaics of foothills waving away on the left, and golden racks of carved rocks, and mounts of brown clay and dunes of rusty earth, Jim followed the lead pack horse down into gumbo mud. The floor of the valley supported a mass of foliage besides the stately cottonwoods. At every step a horse-hoof sank deep, to come forth with a huge cake of mud. A: midday Jim passed deserted cabins, some on one side of the river, some on the other. They did not ap- pear so old, yet they were not new. Had Blue Valley been abandoned? Jim was convinced it could not be so. But when he espied a deserted church, with vacant, eyelike, windows, then his heart sank; Helen must have rest, care, food, He was at the end of his resources, An hour later he toiled past « shack built of logs and stones, and adjoining a dugout, set into the hill. Pecple had lived there once, but long ago. Jim's last hope fled. Ile was still | far from the head of the valley but apparently he had left the zope of habitation behind. The afternoon waned. The horses plodded on, slower and slower, wear- ing to exhaustion, Halen was a dead weight. Despair had seized upon him when he turned a yellow 'corner be- tween the slope and the cottonwoods, to be confronted by a wide pasture at the end of which a log cabin nestled among cottonweods. A column of blue smoke rose lazily against the foliage. The horses labored out of the mud|. to higher ground. Jim rode up to the cabin. «Never in all his life had he been so glad to smell smoke, to see a garden, to hear a dog bark.

Again he followed his sure-footed lead pack horse. The sky was blue, the sun bright and warm, and at the moment it crowned with gold the top of the pur- ple butte Jim had seen twice before. It appeared close now, rearing a cor- rugated peak above yellow and brown hills. Jim was carrying Helen in front of him. Conscious, but too spent to speak or move, she lay back on his arm and watched him. There had been a trail along here once, as was proved by a depressed line oii. the. gravelly earth. When Jim surr. unted this barren divide he sud-| denly was confronted by an amazing and marvelous spectacle, "Blue Valley!" he ejaculated. he stepped out on the porch, rifle in hand.
