CHANGED WORLDS HISTORY
Story of the Beard Of a Moslem Chief
Which Figured in Ancient
Warfare

The most striking case in history
of the importance OF trifies is fur
nished by the story of Musa, the lead
er of the Moslem host which won
from Christendom in three and a
half years dominions which it took
the soldiers of the cross 20 genera
lions 10 win back. He had ~ red
beard This was trifle.
Musa, though a very great general,
was very vain man, and he dyed
his beard black. This was another
trife. One of his captains chaffed
him on the subject. and Musa forth
with had him stripped and scourged.
For this, at the very height of his
ccnQuering career, Musa was recalled
by the caliph and disgraced. This
made 1t impossible for him to COM
mand the Moslem army at the battle
of Tours, on the issue of which, as all
historians agree, the destinies of Eu-
rope and perhaps of the whole human
race depended.
1t is almost certain that II the gen
ius Of Musa had replaced the incom-
petence of the half dozen tribal lead
ers whose dissenslons made victory
impossible, the forces of Islam would
have joined hands from the west to
the east and inclosed Europe in their
grasp.

Beginning of Life on Earth.

been based on silicon instead OF car.

of the hydrogen. oxygen and nitrogen

life is supposed to have fiourished In

blended at death, leaving no trace. A
possible trace, however. may remain
in many remarkable minerals. whose

former existence in organic form, as

cooling of the earth. carbon entered
more and more into the composition
of living matter. and the silicon solid
flied out There may now be worlds

with life In Its silicon age.
