ORIGIN OF SUNDAYS.
--wn Said, Made the
First Ones Used,

The Chaldeans claim the honors
If the first sundial, and from them.
he knowledge Of it found a way
through Egypt and Greece. Herod-
otus says that the Greeks learned
from the Chaldeans the art Of max
ing dials and dividing the day into
twelve parts, and while many allu-
sions are found in Greek literature
bearing on the length Of a shadow
n telling the time Of day no expla-
nation is given Of how this measur-
ing is done. A story is told Of
man who was invited to dine when
. shadow was twenty feet long,
which was about the hour of 5 in
the afternoon, according to the
hosts reckoning, but the overanx-
ious guest mistook the invitation to
read according to morning shadows
and arrived before the feast was
served.
This story finds a parallel in the
memories Of many who have visited
in secluded mountain districts
where the mountaineers tell the
time Of day by the shadows that
creep from summit to summit. The
Arabs we're the very first to intro
ducc sundials showing the hours Of
equal length. The oldest now in ex.
istence, however, give signs Of
Greek workmanship. One i found
in Egypt at the base Of Cleopatra's
Needle, and another, the most pre-
tcntious Of sundials, II in Athens
the Temple Of the Winds, in reality
an octagonal building with a dial
on each Of the eight sides. Many
Greek dials were hemicyclean in
form, while those Of the Scandina-
VANS and Saxons were vertical or
horizontal.
st. Augustine introduced the Ro-
man system into England, and
many Of the old churches in Eng.
land have vertical sundials over the
doors, and throughout England and
Scotland they are frequently found
On the side Of houses, while the hor-
.zontal dial is used in the garden or
On the lawn. In time they became
the fashion, princes made gifts Of
them, and they we're considered ap-
propriate monuments 10 the dead,
and they became more handsome
and elaborate in design. A fine
sample Of the art IL that al CLAIMS

Waste In Lumbering

The forests of the Southern
Appalachian Mountains have
been cut so eagerly for the val.
liable hardwoods they contain
that very little virgin timber is
left and about s. per cent of the
area is second growth.
The drain on these forests by
many industries is immense.
The lumbermen are going over
the land for the third time.
First they took only the prime
oak and poplar saw timber.
Next they took the oak that were
suited for barrel slaves. Now
they are after whatever mer-
charitable trees are left, such as
birch, chestnut. and gum.
Moreover, these forests have
been, and still are, logged very
wastefully. Nearly three-quar.
tiers Of the timber cut for ties is
wasted. Double or even treble
the number Of ties now cut could
readily be secured from the same
area without injury to the forest.
BY simply taking all the suitable
trees, lbs ties could be cut from
an acre which now yields only 60,
and If all of the wood in the trees
were fully utilized ITO additional
ties per acre could be secured.
With mine timbers the story il
the same. Fully 40 per cent of
the timber handled in procuring
them is entirely wasted.
Finally, fires are injuring the
produetivenessot the Appalachian
forests By running over the

Well Known Here.

1t was with the greatest sor'
row that a host of friends in the
city heard yesterday of the death
at 7 o'clock yesterday morning
of Miles Goodwin, one among the
best known and most popular OF
Raleigh's business men.
While Mr.. Goodwin has been
i'll since Christmas with a COM
plieation of kidney and liver
troubles, it was not until within
the past week that his condition
was regarded as critical. Find
ing this so he was taken three
days ago to the Rex hos
Hospital for an operation, but
this failed to give him a new
lease on life. and the end came
at 7 o'clock yesterday morning.
Mr.. Goodwin. till the time of
his sickness, looked the picture
of health, strong. vigorous and
robust, his condition being such
than within the past year he has
accepted by two insurance lines.
He ranked high as an energetic
and popular business man, hav-
ing for fifteen years been with
the Royal & Borden Furniture
Company of Raleigh, being the
manager for the business here at
the time of his death. Genial,
sunny-spirited and warm-heart-
ed. Miles Goodwin is mourned by
a host of friends.
Mr.. Goodwin was thirty-eight
years old and was born in Per-
quirmans county. a son of the
late Miles and Elizabeth Good
win, who resided in Raleigh for
a number of years, removing
here about 1870. At one time
MIR. Goodwin was in Durham for
the Royal & Borden Company,
but returned to Raleigh after
two years, making this his per-
manent home, his value as a cit
lied and as a business man grow
ing with the years.
Mr.. Goodwin resided with his
family in West Raleigh, AZ tbs!
street, his home life being a most
happy one.
The funeral will take place
Sunday afternoon at 8 O'Clock
from the church of the Good
Shepherd, conducted by the rec
tor. Rev. /. Mex. Pittenger. The
interment will be in lakewood
cemetery.
Mr.. Miles Goodwin was strong
" entrenched in the hearts of
his friends, for he was strong in
his friendships. He was a work.
er and his energy had made ad.
vaneement for him. There is |
the deepest sympathy felt for his
family, and his friends feel that
in his death a valuable citizen
has passed out of Raleigh. Raj
