crescent appears, proving conclusively
that it was in use as an emblem among
the people Of that region long before By
zantine was overthrown aud its name
changed TO Constantinople. The story OF
the origin Of the crescent symbol is as
follows: When Philip of Macedonia be-
sieged Byzantium he had planned TO
storm the city on certain cloudy night,
but before his arrangements we're COM
pleted the moon shone out and discovered
his approach to the besieged citizens,
who accordingly marched out and re-
pulsed his iorces--scmethiug which would
have been impossible in the darkness.
After that event all Byzantine coins bore
the symbol OF the crescent moon, which
was always alluded to as the "Savior OF
Byzantium."
After many years the hordes under
Mohammed III. captured Constantinople.
At that time the crescent was used every.
where aud upon everything. Suspecting
that there must be magical power in the
emblem the Mohammedans appropriated
it and have since used it as their only
symbolic decoration.

The Giant of the Gorilla Family.
The largest gorilla ever killed by white
men, SO far as known TO the naturalists,
was one which Lieutenant Morgan's men
succeeded in bringing down while making
the famous Cameron River march, in
Upper Guinea, Africa, during the summer
of 1892. The monster, according to the
report made to the Berlin Anthropologi-
cal society by Morgan himself, was only
a fraction under ten feet in height and
measured seventy inches across the
chest Its shoulders were wider across
than the com ined width of those of the
three largest men in Lieutenant Morgan's
command. 1t took the united strength
of sixteen men to drag the fallen giant to
the nearest European settlement, where
the creatures skin was removed by a
skillful taxidermist and prepared for
mounting. Herr Becker, the German
Psychologist and anatomist who prepared
the skull, says that its brain capacity was
two and onethird greater than that OF
any other known Uranium of gorilla.
That Becker's report is reliable may be
inferred when it is known that the aver
age height of the gorilla is only five feet
two inches. Another peculiarly about
this specimen is this He is the only
animal of the kind ever discovered be-
yond the first degree of north latitude.

A Tottering Spire.

It is reported that the spire Of Sails
bury cathedral, in the south Of Eng
land, is tottering. When the cathedral
was begun, in 1920, there was no
thought of erecting spire on the cen
trail tower. That was an afterthought,
and the architect who designed the
tower strained the strength of the orig
inal substructure to the utmost. It has
always had to be carefully watched,
and the means taken to strengthen it
by iron bands and ties have only added
to the weight. Of late the stonewcrk
has been decaying rapidly, so that the
spire is in great danger of collapsing.

pa1gn text ooks- uIle OPP ressive con-
tract labor laws, 1t was during this
very time that laws were enforced
which enabled employees to bring for
eigners into the country under con-
tract to work at pauper wages and
force them to comply with the terms
of their agreement by the severest
penal statutes ST y4433s1s
1t was time when the law laid it's
heavy hand Oh labor to Cypress and
degrade it. Yet, in spite of all this, as
soon as the menace Of war that hung
over every business was lifted wages
mounted upward ateven ratio with the
increase in prices Mr.. Carlisle could
have found more apt illustration in
the history Of the decade that preceded
the beginning of the war. Within a
few years the mines poured out an
amount of gold exceeding the previ-
GUS production for two centuries.
The value of gold was falling every
year and every month and prices
rising steadily and con tinuously. The
effect was precisely the same as if
another and cheaper metal had beer
substituted for gold. Did this fact
cause any violent alarm? Yes,
it created a panic among the money
lenders and those enjoying fixed in
comes. They clamored for the de-
monetization of gold then in much the
same way that the same class now
howl for the destruction of silver. But
in spite of this progressive depreciation
of gold it was an era of the greatest
and most general prosperity the world
has ever seen. Labor was more fully
employed, factories were never idle,,
agriculture was fourishing. :" The
workingmen never had cause to repeat
the curse which the money-lenders of
that period uttered against deprecated
gold. The past 90 years has seen a
larger increase in the ranks OF idle Ia
Dor, a larger reduction in the profits
of legitimate business and more gen.
eral distress among the farmers than
any like period of the century. - ~ 1850 :*yt
Mr.. Carlisle holds up another scare
crow. He pictures great rush of the
bank depositors to draw their money
from the banks; payment "of all our
obligations held abroad would be de-
manded in gold; all foreign invest
ments would be withdrawn, and all
creditors would press for the collection
Of their debts" One point in this con-
nection to be considered is that nobody
can compel the payment of obligations
before they are due nor compel their
payment in gold unless it is so nomi-
mated in j, the bond; if it is so
nominated =" the creditor : is safe
anyway. If creditors force the pay
ment of their debts, what will they
do with their money? If they hoard
it, will it not depreciate in their hands
as much as if it had been left in the
hands Of the debtor? If the debtor
chooses to pay in silver as he has
right to do, what good will it do the
creditor to dig a hole in the ground
and bury it out of sight? Will that
save it from threatened depreciationp
Or will he make haste to invest it in
lands, lots, farms, houses and other
property, which will rise in value as
money depreciates? If he does, won't
that be a blessed thing Tor land own
