Vile, are found all OF the natural re-
sources, and all Of the vegetable prod
ucts, that have been discovered and
grown in all other sections of the

The selection of Mrs. Herbert w.

Board OF the Appalachian Expo
sition TO be held In Knoxville.

Is especially adapted for the exalted
position which she will hold with
much grace and charm. Mrs. Hall was
the social belle of Knoxville as Miss
Annette Mcmillan, and has been, for
number of years, a leader OF Knox

mirably adapted for the leader OF this

Ancient IDEAS Of Africa.

In medieval times Africa was an
unknown continent as we'll ais Asia.
Until few years after the discovery
OF Columbus no one had sailed around
II, and Il was quite generally thought.
as II had previously been thought IN
regard to Asia. that the African cOJ-
unent extended on and on indefinitely.
1t was supposed that far TO the south
was the zone of heat. IN which no hu-
man being could live. This was by no
means an unreasonable Inference TO
the ancientS. They knew that the far
Their they sailed to the north the colder
Il grew and that In the extreme north
was Il region Of perpetual snow. They
also knew that the fari her they sailed
70 the south the warmer II grew. and
what was more natural for them To
suppose that II they went far enough
in that direction they would come upon
lands that were parched aud baked
and upon seas that boiled. where moth
