HAS THEORY OF SToNEHENGE
Professor Norton Of Harvard Believes
II Connected With Similar Erec-
tlons in North Africa.

Prof. Richard Norton Of Harvard Is
credited with the theory that the
cyclopean structures at Stonehenge
are connected with similar erections
that are found in northern Africa.
Professor Norton has just returned
after a period of research in the
Greek city of Cyrene in Africa and
his theory of Stonehenge is partly the
result of his work. Stonehenge is
ordinarily supposed to be the work Of
the Druids, and it may be said that
the Drulds in British archaeology
have always occupied the place sa'
cred to the cat in domestic matters.
Whatever was inexplicable upon any
other theory would always yield to
the Druidic hypothesis. The Druids,
in fact, we're a sort of lesser Provi.
dence whose powers it was impious
to doubt If one asked how the gigan-
tic rocking stones of Cornwall were
balanced upon a point all perplexities
were banished by a reference to the
| Druids, while the feat of erecting
Stonehenge and bringing those
mighty monoliths from a distance, &
feat well-nigh impossible to modern
engineering, was explained. in a mo
ment and to the meanest intelligenc,
by a simple reference ts the Druids.

WAS INVENTOR OF VoLAPUK
Johann Martin schIeyer, German Pas
tor, Devised That System of
Universal Speech.

The name of Johann Martin Schley-
err, who has just died at Constance at
the age of 80, is now known to but a
few persons outside the number d.
rectly concerned in his work This
German pastor was the inventor OF
Volapuk, which was once put forward
with some plausible chances of sue
cess as an international language.
Schleyer's system Of universal
speech was introduced to the world
in 1879. 1t was formed on the basis
of similar artificial languages which
seek to exclude all elements not uni
versal. The sounds in Volapuk are
expressed by twenty-seven letters,
which, generally speaking, are to be
used in their Latin, Italian or German
values. Words are formed from the
European languages. The noun in
Volapuk is the root of the word di
vested of all sounds excluded by the
rules of the new tongue. In its final
effect this artificial speech was rath
er a meager medium of expression
practically incapable of any specia
vocabulary. So changed by its proc
esses and rules were the roots of the
words taken from various tongue!
that they were scarcely recognizable
and had to be learned by memory.
These disadvantages of the inven
ton did not, however, prevent it from
finding supporters in Europe and thi!
country.

popeINe THE FRYING PRESS

When the cabinet holds a meeting
one of the things that causes invari-

The president has made II we'll UNI
derstood that the less said about
these conferences the better; but
there is always a group of newspaper
men at the door of the White House
Offices waiting for members of the
cabinet to appear after their session.
Il has come to be something OF a
joke with the men who help the pres
ident decide great questions Of public
policy that when the usual question Is
asked at the close of the cabinet
meetings the chief executive turns to
the secretary of agriculture and says:
Suppose you see the newspaper
men, Wilson; we didn't discuss any
thing in your department"
II is a point of honor, a sort of I'M
written law that no member of the
cabinet shall give out information
regarding affairs in other depart
ments Of the government than his
own. While, therefore, the venerable
secretary of agriculture presents him.

mems questions, the other members
of the cabinet quietly and unostenta
tiously slip away, and the world
learns that nothing of Importance

kRE FRIENDS OF The FARMER
1Isckolrds and Other Feathered crea-
lures Feed on Insects That,
Destroy Crops.

A number of years ago blackbirds
we're exceedingly abundant through
eastern Nebraska. They we're so plen-
tiful that the farmers believed they
were damaging crops, so they began
poisoning the birds. A single grain OF
corn soaked in strychnine was enough
to kill blackbird. In the years that
followed. great numbers Of these and
other birds were destroyed during the
spring and fall AT the same time
thousands Of quail, prairie chickens
and other game birds we're killed in
every county to supply the market.
AS the birds began to disappear,
swarms of locusts took their place.
These insects Matched out in countless
numbers and began devastating crops.
Few fields of grain escaped Damage.
Many were entirely destroyed. Where
blackbirds, quail. prairie chickens,
plover, and other birds remained, they
took to living entirely on locusts. In
such localities fair crops were Sc
cured solely through the assistance of
the birds.
The members Of the United States
chronological commission who Wit
messed the work accomplished by the
birds in this region, said the results
were so complete that It was impossi
BILE to entertain any doubt as to the
value of birds as locust destroyers.-
