Earmer Makes Great Discovery.

c. c. Rothgeb, a farmer OF Page county,
Va, while tearing down an old log house
on Mill Creek, near Luray, has made dis
coveries OF some very remarkable papers
hidden in the creyices OF the building.
The papers contain the names OF several
members of families the first white men
who came to the Valley OF Virginia, and
afford intereStiog comparisons OF the prices
ranging in certain commodities IN 1877
and 1910.
Thomas Blackford, near relative OF
William A. Backiord, the late president
of the Maryland Life Insurance Company,
and whose ancestors about that time con-
Quoted large iron furnace near Luray,
figures extensively in the manuscripts,
whchare writteninalegible hand. DEEDS
for the sale of land in that section, which
today is selling for 5000 per acre, give
the price OF $3.50; itemized store &C
counts show bacon to have been selling
at cents, against Is cents today. The
upward trend Of the rate OF taxation is
illustrated in $3.50 tax bill for l75 acres
of land. Today the tax on the same
amount of land is easily five times the
tax bill of SO years ago. Four horses are
taxed at so cents each.
Few of the names found upon the old
relics are spelled as those OF their de-
scendants who are now living in this
county. The names in many instances
have been strangely abbreviated and sub
ject to wholesale looping of OF syllaoles
which in those days gave them pro-
nounced German accent.
The antiquity OF Egypt grows more and
more remarkable with each discovery OF
the excavators. A carefully built stone
tomb, rooted with stone beams OF forty
tons weight, and containing great sar-
cophaguS of red granite, has just been
uncovered near the pyramid OF Seneferu
at Memphis. The tomb was torty-flve
feet beneath the present surface, and un-
questionable evidence makes ii over sixty
five hundred years old. That a people
capable of building such tomb lived in
the Nile valley so long ago would once
have been called impossible. The Sar-
cophagus contained the bones OF COM
plete body, evidently unfleShed after
death, and wrapped, each bone by itself,
in fine linen.

Serpents and Music,

Barnard concludes from his personal
observation of cobras IN Ceylon, says
the Scientific American, that the SER
pent's traditional love for music is &
pure fable and that the only effect Of
music is TO arouse the reptiles curios-
fly, which is excited by any loud and
acute sound. The cobra protrudes its
head from its burrow alike on hearing
the snake charmer's flute. the rattling
Of a chain or the sounds made by
beating the ground with a switch. 1t
appears to perceive only sounds Of
high pitch, for it pays no attention to
the low notes of the flute or the beat
ing of the drum. Barnard also con-
firmed in Ceylon the results of obser-
vations made In the London geological
garden on the supposed power of fas-
cination exerted by serpents upon
birds. and he concludes that this pow
err of fascination is also purely imag-
inary.
