Whence Game They?

No one knows exactly where the
American Indians came from, and
there are many theories on the SUBJ
ject. Man lived on this continent
earlier than, or at least as early as,
he lived on the European continent,
but it is not believed that the In
dams are descended from such early
people. The latest theory seems to
be that the so-called American In
dams are descended from Chinese,
who in some way reached the west.

The parallelism between the customs
Of the Chinese and the ancient Pc

systems of government of the two
peoples were similar; the Emperor

Nice.

There is city called Nice (pro-
nounced Neece) in France. Before
1860 it was in Italy. or rather in the
Kingdom of Sardinia. for there wasn't
any Italy in the present acceptance
of the word. Nice is a city of nearly
70, 900 inhabitants. It was founded
by Greeks about 2, 900 years ago, and
named Nik;pa, in honor of a victory
(nike) which they had won. 1t put
itself under the protection of the
Count Of Savoy in 1888; in 1913 the
Count became King of Sardinia; in
1892 Nice was annexed to France: in
1914 it reverted to Sardinia, but in
1860, when Napoleon III. and Victor
Emmanuel, King of Sardinia, settled
the accounts of the Italian war of
1859, Nice was transferred again to
France. A more famous Nice is Nj
cada in Asia Minor, older than the
French city. 1t is in Bithynia, about
sixty miles southeast of Constanti-
nople. 1t was a large city early in
the Christian era; and within its
walls were held two famous Ecu
menical, or General Councils of the
Christian Church-the First Ecumen-
ical, in 1925 A. d., where the Nicene
Greed was drawn up, and the Arians
condemned; and the Second Nicene,
or Seventh Ecumenical in 1877 A. ID.
It devoted itself especially to sup
pressing those who did not believe in
images in the churches Nice in

Nothing Skittish About Her.

to play a practical joke, was nom

He says: II am very particular
about fastening the doors and win

to leave them open at nights as an

gas and was in her chair by the fire,
sound asleep as l could tell by her
breathing; but the moment l struck

II expected great yelling and
screaming, but nothing of the sort

Better Than Powder.

Recent experiments just concluded

superiority of cordite over gunpowder.
A six-inch quick firing gun was
loaded with 20 pounds ~ ounces OF
the ordinary black gunpowder, and
yielded velocity of 1900 feet per Sec
Ond, with pressure strain on the
gun of Is tons per square inch. The
same gun was charged with pounds

velocity of the shot along the bore OF
the six-inch gun was calculated to

the first moment OF being set in
motion. Minute as they may appear,
Lieut.. II. Watkin, II. A., has in
vented an instrument which, it is
said, will measure fractions of time
to the nine-billionth part of a second.
About so OF the 6-inch quick firing
guns have been supplied to the navy,
and the authorities at the royal gun

BrOnming.

"Bromming" is the term applied in

writer, l actually mistook it for the
trumpeting of distant fog horn. In
the desert it might we'll be a fit an

culiar is the sound that l took pains
to ascertain exactly how it was pro-
