Plymouth Rock has become an OBJ
ject Of veneration in the United States
Because of its interesting historical as
sociations. AS is well known, it is the
rock or ledge on which the pilgrims
are believed to have landed when they
first stepped from their boats in the
harbor of what is now Plymouth,
Mass. IN 1775 part of the rock was
removed TO the vicinity of Pilgrim
hail. but was afterward restored to its
original site, and is now under the
stone canopy that surmounts the main
rock on Water street Charles Sumner
said: From the deck of the Nay
flower. from the landing at Plymouth
rock. to the Senate of the United
States is a mighty contrast, covering
whole spaces of history hardly less
than from the wolf that sucked Romu-
lus and Remus TO that Roman Senate
which on curule chairs swayed Italy
and the world"

The chance discovery of a secret
drawer i'll an old writing desk which
has been in the family of Charles
Beckel of Bethlehem, Pa. for genera
lions as a treasured heirloom, reveal
ed that the drawer contained an in
teresting and valuable collection of
historical letters and documents. The
papers, a score or more, are war de-
partment letters, letters of General
Anthony Wayne and others, and proc
lamations that date back to the reyo-
lutionarv war and early days of the
Federal Government. Prof. Allison of
the historical department OF Carnegie
Institute states that taken together the
letters form valuable source of first
hand information of an important
period in the nations history.

The untitled orders on the books of
the United States Steel Corporation
amount to 5.927.031 tons. The earn
ings in the last quarter of 1909 were
so heavy and the outlook for business
in 1910 was so good that the company
declared Al extra dividend upon the
common stock, which places it upon
the per cent basis with which it
started.
The condition of the steel market
furnishes a clue TO that of the entire
industrial enterprise of this country.
As the steel mills prosper, so also do
the greater number of other indus
tries.

States Steel Corporation constitutes a

extensively. Fer tools the Nubians of
that date used stone, and very good
and sharp-cutting tools they made of
1t, too. Flint lance-heads and flint
knives were found IN abundance, but
no trace OF copper tool was in evil
dence for some centuries.
The next period ranges from $500
u. G. TO 1900 B. c., during which cop
per was discovered TO be highly use
full as a cutting metal and was manu-
featured accordingly. This was also
the period of greatest change in the
bodily characters of these people. The
anatOmists who made the examina-
tions declared that a new type of man
had been imported among the people
OF the lower Nile and had mixed his
blood with that of the people he found
there before him. The secret of the
perfect preservation of bodies for six
ty centuries lies in the fact that the
people, probably not able to afford the
methods of embalming that were prac-
ticed by the swell" Egyptians, just

the bodies.
One disease which seemed to have
been prevalent 10 an extraordinary de-
gree was rheumatic govt Thousands
of these people had suffered from govt
and from rheumatism. Graves were
found containing fifteen or twenty
bodies, all members of the same fami-
ly, and several generations OF the same
family. The anatomists were thereby
enabled to trace peculiar anatomical
resemblance from father to son, as
well as evidences of transmitted dis
ease
That this marvellous method Of pre-
serving the dead is not practicable
generally 10 day is due to the fact that
one of the essentials of the success OF
the method is the peculiarly dry at
mosphere of Egypt and the unlimited
quantities of perfectly dry sand IN
which to bury the bodies after they
have been treated with the salt or the
solution Of salt which the ancient Nu-
bians used.

people know that the warm air sur
rounding the earth Is only a thin
belt, but we do not most of us know
that at ten miles above the earth it
would not only be bitterly cold, but
the sun would appear quite different.
The air is stratified in three more
or less distinct layers In the lowest
we live. 1t extends about two miles
and Is a region of turmoil, whimsical
winds, cyclones and anticyclones. At
two miles the freezing point is reached
and then there Is a second stratum
extending upward for about another
six miles. Here the air grows stead
lily colder and drier. the lowest tenn
perature recorded being 1877 degrees
below freezing point. Here the ali
moves in great planetary swirls pro-
duced by the spinning Of the earth on
its axis, so that the wind always blows
in the same easterly direction.
The greater the height the more
furious Is the blast of this relentless
gale. After this layer comes the third
or isothermal stratum, discovered al.
most simultaneously by NJ de Bort
and DR.. Assmann. This is called the
permanent inversion stratum, because
the temperature increases with the
height reached But the temperatures
so far recorded in the second stratum
are not high, being far below zero
Fahrenheit. generally somewhere from
122 degrees to 14O degrees below 1t.
Here the air no longer swiris In a
planetary circle The wind may blow
in a direction contrary to that in the
second layer And the air Invariably
is excessively dry. Where this third
stratum ends no one knows. But 1t
inust be at more than eighteen miles
above the earth. for sounding balloons
have reached this height and have not
found the end of the permanent in
version layer OF air. When the infiu-
ence Of the upper regions Of air upon
the lower is fully understood it may
be possible to foretell the weather not
merely for a day, but for a week.

The First Repeating Rine.

An Atlanta veteran was talking
about his first experience with a re-
peating rife.
Il was out on the picket line.T he
tells it, land q lot of Yankees kept
shooting at us from the shelter of a
pine thicket. Finally we made a break
for the thicket and then we had it.
Every fellow would pick out his man
and then load and shoot, taking advan-
tage of the shelter of the trees.
MY Yankee got the first shot. and
missed me. AS was only seventy-five
or one hundred yards away, thought
| would reach him before he could
load again, so ! made dash for him.
He stepped out from his tree and aim
ed, but thought he was just trying to
down on me.
"'My Lord / thought, that's the
first rifle / ever saw with two barrelsr

Presently. though. saw him bend
ing over. His head was protected, but
his back was showing, and | took good
aim. The ball ploughed through the
fleshy part of the thigh, and as he
hollered | made for him. He had
dropped his gun and started to run,
but he stopped and went back with
me.
Il carried that old gun back and it
was a great curiosity to our boys. They
never did believe that it could shoot
sixteen times, and l couldn't prove il
because he had only one load left, and
we couldn't get any ammunition to fit
the gun. So we broke up the gun to
keep the Yankees from getting hold of
ii again. "-Atlanta Constitution.

Iustration: A lady in Mo. has, with
her husband, been brought around to
health again by leaving OFF coffee and
some articles of food that did not
agree with them. They began using
Postum and GrapeNuts food. She
says:
For a number Sf years | suffered

sional cramps, and slept badly Final

coffee and take Postum. He had stood
out for long time, but after he tried
Postum for a few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.
Il have a brother in California who

years: his whole family use It also be-
cause they have had such good results
from it."

Aldrich has improved this chance for
meditating upon the state of his soul,

thought a thought to the effect that he

No German TariG War.


Secretary Knox has averted a tariff
war, which threatened with Germany
and by the agreement which secures
the minimum rates for both the con
tracing countries, an agreement of
similar character will be forced upon
France. and as a cOrOllary to such
French agreement, one with Canada
also. we trust
The consideration actuating Wash
ington as regards the German conven-
ton, was not alone the conservation of
the half billion yearly exchange be-
tween Germany. her colonies and our
selves. but also the leverage power
which the agreement furnishes us as
against countries that might be other
wise disposed TO withhold from us the
benefit of their lowest schedules
France is a competitor of Germany
in our markets, and if she wishes TO
hold her own in these markets. must
secure from us the minimum rates
which Germany will now enjoy. Fur
thermore. she must, in order TO secure
such equal advantages, give to our inn
portations equal advantages with the
most favored nation, which, as ii hap
pens, is Canada. with whom France
has but just concluded a commercial
treaty Likewise the Dominion, now

as herself with Continental Europe.
will be deprived of strong induce
ment to fight our tariff with discrim-
nations and prohibitions.
Thus, in the matter of international
exchange of commodities. Germany
has been the key to the whole field.
We now have the key. And in the
light of the strategic Importance OF
coming to an agreement with Ger
many. we can we'll afford to waive the
particulars of microscopic examination
of our meats. and of the drawback
paid to German exporters OF grain. AS
a matter of fact, those incidents are
not necessarily waived. but are taken
out of the subject of the tariff and re-
served for future negotiation.
Even it Germany has won victory
as regards those particulars, 1t must
be remembered public opinion here
was not keen concerning them, and in
view of the popular agitation concern
ing the price of meats, afforded our
government no moral support-a fact
of which Berlin was aware, and of
which she took full advantage. More
over. such particulars. as compared
with the half-billion yearly exchange
of commodities. are too unimportant
to warrant a general disturbance.
