The Brussels Post, 1951-11-28, Page 2Plague of Tigers
One result of the prolonged jun-
gle fighting in Malaya is that man-
eating tigers have become bolder.
Once they were content to snatch
only goats and dogs. Today the
tigers, whose numbers have multi-
plied owing to the jungle war
against Communists, are invading
the rubber plantations in their hunt
for human victims.
Patrolling British troops dare not
shoot at a prowling tiger without
betraying their own presence to
bandits. During the invasion and
enemy occupation of Malaya there
was little opportunity to deal with
the ntenace of tigers. And the lapse
of ten years. during which they
have enjoyed comparative immun-
ity, has made the beasts fiercer.
Reports from on -the -spot corres-
pondents say that men and women
rubber tappers who venture as far
as trees close to the jungle edge
are increasingly becoming victims
of pouncing tigers. In the Treng-
ganu district a single man-eater has
carried off eight people in recent
months.
Jungle covers about nine -tenths
of the country. Malays who pene-
trate to its green heart report
larger litters of tigers than ever
before. Even the bandits don't
shoot tigers they encounter. The
reason? Lack of ammunition. Be-
sides, a wounded tiger is some-
times a greater menace than an
unmolested man-eater.
Says hunter Mr. Pius Vendergon:
"A tiger which has been wounded
will attack any man on sight and
is often more ferocious. Even after
his wound has healed, he will go
after a man. When a tiger has
tasted human flesh, he prefers it
to any other kind."
It is known that the more food
the tigers have, the larger their
titters. And since there are plenty
of wild pigs and deer in the jungle
which fall easy victim to tigers, the
population of man-eaters goes on
increasing.
When the rebels are finally beat-
en it will probably be necessary to
start a full-scale war against tigers.
Malay headmen say that is the
only solution. If a campaign were
Started today, the hunters would
fall victims to the bandits.

son, Willie Shoemaker, shaving

Don't Try Wrestling
With A Bull
When the British and Empire
heavy - weight boxing champion
Jack Gardner came face to face
with a three-year-old bull recently,
Gardner admitted that it was a
terrifying experience, and I thought
I had had it."
Jack was out for his early morn-
ing jog -trot. The bull had escaped
from a nearby farm, and with a
chain dangling from the ring in
its nose it chased the champion
200 yards along the road.
The chase ended in a field with
boxer and bull running round a
hayrick. They went round four
times before Jack was able to
plunge through a hedge to safety,
An' infuriated bull is capable of
making even the strongest glen
feel nervous, Without weapons, a
man stands next to no chance of
vanquishing a fully grown bull in
a tussle.
Many a strong man has tried it,
but the bull's neck and shoulder
muscles have proved too tough.
With a single sideways "nod" of
his- head a bull has been known
to crush a man's ribs.
Spanish bull -fighters have been
tossed thirty feet into the air as
a result of the throwing power of
the bull's neck muscles.
This is why a bull is tethered by
means of a chain attached to a
steel ring through his nose. If
he tries to break the chain he hurts
his nose.
In the old days Indian mahara-
jahs used to amuse themselves by
pitting the might of the bull against
other animals and champion wrest-
lers.
The bull versus the tiger was a
favorite match, but the bull invari-
ably won.
Champion wrestlers usually had
to be carried out of the arena,
though the famous Madrassi wrest-
ler Krisla Dass was the victor
on several occasions, He would at-
tack the animal front the rear,
throwing it by grasping a hind
leg in each arm.'
"Gently does it" is the motto of
farmers who often have to lead
their bulls to market. They acquire
the technique of giving just the
right amount of pull on the nose
ring to persuade the bull that he
would be more comfortable if he
stepped forward.
A too vicious pull, however, can
really hurt him and transform him
into several hundred pounds of
lumbering destruction,
Mystery Mineral
"Cures" Ailments
For weeks the telephone bell has
hardly stopped ringing in the house
of Mr. F. C. Hill, who runsa 500-
acre farm at Niddry, near
gent, South Africa. Letters pour
in every day asking for samples
of a wonder mineral which was
Sound on the farm recently. It is
at present unidentified, but it con-
tains some iron sulphate and is
said to be able to tone up the
system and induce sleep.
Sufferers from. insomnia and from
almost every known ailment want
samples, and 70 -year-old Mr. Hill
has had to tell therm kindly but
firmly that his farm isn't a nursing
home or a hospital. He just doesn't
snow what to do about all the
requests. He is having the mineral
analyzed by a leading geologist.
Mr. Hill, who often ploughs for
silt or Seven hours a day, says that
whenever he begins to feel tired
he holds a piece of the mineral
in his hand, and within half an
hour he feels "quite refreshed." He
hopes that the mineral really has
Some Curative and restorative pro-
perties so that it may prove of
benefit to sufferers. A native work•

THE BIBLE
The . Bible is a teacher's hand-
book. But the teacher must be one
commissioned by God to teach.
Most subjects taught in High
School or College have accompany-
ing handbooks. But these are never
meant to do away with a teacher.
And a teacher must be commis-
sioned to teach.
Over 50 writers were involved
in writing the Bible. It consists of
73 books. The story of God's in-
terest in mankind before Christ
is recorded in the first 46 books.
The remaining 27 books tell the
story of the foundation of Christi-
anity. The last book of the New
Testament was written about the
year 90-95 A.D.
In the 60's and 70's A.D., many
Christians were put to death be-
cause of their Christian faith. Yet
at that date the New Testament
hadn't been written. The Christians
had learned of Christ by listening
to the Apostles and those appoint-
ed by then to teach His dictrines,
The foundations of Christianity
were well laid. St. Luke in the
Acts of the Apostles, records the
first history of the Church written
about the year 62 A.D. It had
spread all over the Roman Empire.
And all this without the benefit
of the New Testament. Few people
could read or write in those days.
Christ had arranged to pass on
His truths without dilution or er-
ror, The Church was not after-
thought of the Apostles. It was
planned by Christ.
This is one of a series of
messages by Father V. McGivney,
Parish Priest, St. Francis Parish,

Machine Marvels
Duplicate Nature's
Five Human Senses
Modern technology has
reached the point where its
mechanical instruments now
not only perform the exact
functions of the five human
senses, but actually surpass
them in accuracy. Here are
the instruments,, seen at
work in the Du Pont
Laboratories.
Seeing—is performed by at ex-
pensive spectroprotometer. A
chemical expert uses it to doter -
mine the exact color of paint.
Hearing device is a' sound level
meter. Here a techr,ician sets
the delicate instrument to gauge
intensity of noise.
Smelling escaped gases around
pipe fittings is the function of
the leak detector used here by
an engineering depart me n t
employee.
Feeling machined surfaces for
scratches is done with a surface
profilometer. It is being used in
mechanical development lab.
Tasting solutions to dete,mine
amount of acidity is a job for
the pH meter, being operated
here by a DuPont research
chemist.
Our senior football season is
finished, at long last, although at
one time—what with ties, playoffs
and so forth—it looked very much
as if they wouldn't be able to get
the boys out of the huddles before
Christmas. Altogether it was a
fairly exciting season, the most
memorable feature possibly being
the fact that the Argonauts—by re-
fusing to pay for having the tar-
paulin put down at Varsity for
their first playoff with Tiger-cats—
probably just plain Scrooged them-
selves out of a tidy fortune. Int fact,
as some miscreant remarked, Argos
committed slough-icide (OUCH).
* * *
As for big time hockey, the lads
seen( to have heard that it is twice
as easy to get into the playoffs than
it is to stay out of then, and are
struggling for the rarer honor. Like
one old-timer who was asked about
the form of Canadian -heed race
horses and replied, "Thins Canadi-
an-breds certainly do bate one an-
other with rare consistency." And
with all due respect to "Mr.
Hockey" — Conn Smythe, that is,
as if you didn't know—the sooner
the National Hockey League gets
rid of those tie games, thesooner
the cash registers in certain arenas
will start to jingle.
Now we turn to another sport—
one which we have somewhat ne-
glected in the past—the game of
table -tennis. And until we studied
some statistics recently, we had no
idea what a huge sport chasing the
celluloid had become. Incidentally,
the table-tennisers seem to have
Sun Motor Runs By Candle, Too—Sunlight, lamp light or the mere
flicker of a small candle will set the balsa wood wheel on the
shaft of this "sun motor" to spinning. General Motors engineers
developed the device which is being shown throughout
the country to illustrate an important principle — that sunlight
is power, and that it holds vast potential as a power source,
GM engineers conrede their "sun motor" is an- extremely
low.efficiency power producer, and that it holds no clues as to
how to harness the sun's energy,
settled the perplexing problem of
amateurism in a manner that is an
example to some other sports we
mgiht name. They solved the prob-
lem by just defining all participants,
paid or simon-pure, as "players"
and letting it go at that.

England is a hotbed of table -
tennis, although its popularity is
world-wide. Twelve years ago there
were in England 214 leagues, which
represented 4008 clubswith an esti-
mated membership of 75,000. When
tournament play was resumed, fol-
lowing the war., these figures had
dropped to 110-2,200 and 35,000.
The same respective totals stand
today at 350-6,800—and 130,000.
That represents a whole lot of
pinging and ponging, and no mis-
take, for just one country.
* * *
At the present time England
possesses the world singles cham-
pion in John Leach and the wom-
en's doubles champions in the 18 -
year -old London twins, Diane and
Rosalind Rowe. Two former world
champions, Victor Barna and Ri-
chard Bergmann who have found
sanctuary in that country from cen-
tral Europe nd have become natur-
alized British subjects, are others
who have done a great deal to raise
English prestige in international
play,
