Did the telephone exist in ancient times?

LINOTYPIST.
This is not likely but it may have ex-
listed 275 years ago. Thus. in work
of Calico containing the great astron-
omers and physicists lectures on
Ptolemy and Copernicus, which APP
peared first in 1927, there occurs pas
sage narrating the inference that the
idea of possibility of communicating
by telephone, nay, similar invention,
had arisen as early as that date. The
words which Calico puts into the
mouth of one of the persons discussing
said systems are as follows: Il remem-
Der man who wanted to sell me the
secret Of communicating at a. distance
OF two or three miles ~ PRINTING Of
the sympathy that EXITS between two
magnetic rods. Wheh told him that
] was ready to buy his secret, but first
wanted to test it. and that this test
would only require an experiment be-
tween our two houses he replied that
in such a short distance the action
could be hardly observed. Whereupon
l sent him away, saying that | had
neither the time nor the desire to go TO
Cairo or Moscow to test his invention,
but that / was willing to communicate
with him in his own way il he himself
would undertake the voyage to either
Of those two cities" It is not known
what became of the RAN with the in
Vention, nor If, perchance, Calico in
these words wanted TO express his own
physical notions IN a yelled form.

Will you please explain what is meant
by post-hypnotic suggestion?
DOUBTER.
When q subject is in a somnap& alis-
tic state of whatever sort, provided it
be different from the one of the day be-
fore, one may give him command,
which is to be fulfilled~later at time
when he is no longer in the somnambu-
listic state but has returned to his
usual waking state; this is what is
called a post-hypnotic suggestion. 1t
presents very curious feature, name
ly, the subject on awaking, has forgot
ten the somnambulistic sleep and all
the commands that were given him.
Nevertheless the suggestion is assur-
edly executed, and at the given hour,
with all the details indicated in the
somnambulistic state. There are cases
ON record in which acts commanded
during the hypnotic sleep were per-
formed after the lapse of weeks or
months, and this is so without the SUBJ
jects being able to account for them,
even when questioned at the moment
they were doing them. ,..-,!

The American peanut crop averages
about five million bushels year, and
twenty-five pounds of the nuts make
bushel. About 100000 600 worth OF
peanuts are yearly consumed, either
in their natural form or in candy. The
shucks furnish good food for pigs, and
the peanut vine forms first-class fod-
der for mules. Vast quantities of pea
nuts are shipped each year to Great
Britain and the continent from both
Africa and Asia, where they are con-
verted into pure Lucca olive OIL" A
pushed of peanut shells will afford
about a gallon of oil, and the meal is
used for feeding horses. and is also
baked into variety of bread which has

Teeth of all kinds have been wor.

amese were formerly the possessors of
the tooth of sacred monkey, which
they valued very highly, but in a war
with the Portuguese they lost the holy
grinder and had to pay $500 900 to
get it back again. 1t Is now kept in a

A friend of mine claims that the wheels
Of railroad car slip sideways only when
rounding curve. claim that they also
have what l shall call. for want of better
expression, rotary slip; that on a slow
moving train the outer wheels slip, while
on a faster train the inside wheels slip.
What are the facts in the case?
YOUNG SCIENTIST.
The wheel hanges of railway cars
bear against the outer rail when round
ing a curve by their momentum, and
against the inner rail when strongly
pulled by the locomotive. The inner
and outer wheels both slip, the inner
one forward and the outer one back
ward. according to the conditions of
running on curve. The centrifugal
force at high speed throws the greater
weight on the outer wheels, when the
inner wheels slip forward.

Splendid Business Opportunities
for Ambitious Young Men
and Women.

The Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Business
College has published booklet under
the above title. This booklet is unique
in its way, and different from anything
in printed pamphlet ever issued by a
business training school.
1t may be considered an endorsement
of strength that large number of sue
cessful young men and women of America,
whose annual earnings range from 81 900
to $4,000 each, give full credit to the
Cedar Rapids Business College for train.
ing them for their positions. 1t is indeed
amazing to find that this school, as noted
as it is for completeness and thorough.
ness, has been able to take young men
and women from small towns and farms
where they could earn less than fifty
dollars a month, train them for from
twelve to fifteen months, and place them
In positions where. after few short years
they are earning from one to twenty
thousand dollars year.
Such is the record of the Cedar Rapids
Business College as disclosed by the
letters from pupils which are pub.
lished in the little booklet above referred
to, and accompanied by photographs Of
the writers.
Probably no similar school in America
can show such an array of successful stu
dents in such varied lines of employment,
If viewed from their annual incomes.
For the encouragement of ambitious
young men and women. Mr.. A. N. Palmer,
President of the school. states that during
the more than twenty years he has been
the official head of the CedakRapids
Business College. there never before have
been so many opportunities for placing
the graduates in good positions.
Mr.. Palmer will be pleased to send
copy OF the booklet above referred to,

That DR. Miles is one of the most
successful and reliable of physicians
is proven by hundreds of testimonials
from well-known people. One patient
cured after failure of eleven Grand

been given up by six or seven Chicago
physl clans, another after nine of the
leading doctors In New York City,
Philadelphia and Chicago failed.
