Of Zion City, but here IS one which
caps the climax.

wife to another voluntarily, explain
ing the matter by declaring that the
Lord had told him to do so. At least,
that is the report which is being
spread throughout the city

from the home Of Miss Crosby, leader
of the free love cult, several times in
the Lake county JAIL
According to the story told by the
officers Of Zion, man named Col
thart, who, with his wife and two
daughters have lived at the Crosby
home where Charles Samson also has
resided since leaving the Lake County
jail, has seen vision from the Lord
in which he was told to turn his wife
over to Samson and he is said to have
done so.
AS result of their father action
and the mother s reported willing
ness to execute the new arrangement,
the two daughters, IL and 10 years
of age, are said to have deserted their
home and gone by themselves, de-
claring they were Disguised with the
whole thing.

SECRETS OF BURIED MEMPHIS.
Prof. Flinders Petrie Uncovers Wonders
from Earth of Centuries.

From beneath the overburden of earth
and rubbish which has been accumulat-
ing for ages. Prof. Flinders Petrie in
his first year of work of eXcavating the
ruins of Memphis, has laid bare many
of the secrets of that great city of an
cient glory, which until his explorations
began had been more completely hidden
than those of any other city of the dis
tant past, according to the Boston Globe
The focus of the city was the great
temple of Ptah, or Hephestos. and the
sacred grove, or Ternenos which en-
closed it. The massive wall which sur
rounded the temple was traced piece by
piece. although but SINGLE corner was
above ground, all the rest being buried
at a great depth by debris of every de-
sCription.
Evidence of the pillaging hand of Ra-
meseS were visible everywhere.
Some of the sculpture revealed was
of great delicacy. Throughout the tenn
pie areas were found about one hun
dred little tablets dedicated by private
persons, many of them going back to
great antiquity and proving to be of
much interest as clearing up doubtful
points in archaeology. Many little terra
Gotta grotesques were also found, which
are not so much portraits as types.
1t is calculated that the exposure of
the whole surface of Memphis and then
its excavation at lower levels will be
the work of forty years more.

A plank is run over the side, the inner

while on the outer end with legs dangling
over the water sits the man acting as
ballast. And this not in racing, mind
you, but in every day sailing. The other
is the practice of 'nodding" as | heard
it called. In moderate weather when the
skiff is only lightly gliding along one man
will stand up alongside the centerboard

will steadily rock sidewise from one foot
to the other with the idea that it makes
the boat sail faster. And perhaps it

Two Hundred Year Old Butter.

Ghee is used in India as is butter in
American and European countries, and,
in fact, is butter so prepared that it
never grows stale, instances being known
of its preservation for as long at 200
years. In preparing ghee, butter is
boiled until all the watery particles and
curds have been thrown off by repeated
skimmings. When the liquor is clear oil
it is poured into a vessel to cool. When
cooled it is in granuated form. and will
keep for years without becoming rancid
or of bad odor. Ghee has been found in
deserted castles, where is must have
been left more than two centuries ago
