HAS THEORY OF ST0NEHENGE
Professor Norton Of Harvard Believes
IL 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 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 1t may be said that
the Druids 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, were a sort of lesser Provi-
dence whose powers 1t 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 reference to the
Druids. while the feat of erecting
Stonehenge and bringing those
mighty monoliths from a distance. a
feat well-nigh impossible to modern
engineeringss was explained in mo.
ment and to the meanest intelligence
by a simple reference to the Druids.

DELIGHTFUL STORY HOUR
FOR This AFTERNOON
Attendance at Library Con,
StantIy Increasing

An afternoon of delightful entertain
ment awaits the children of the city
in the Story Hour that is to be held AT
the Carnegie Library under the direc-
ton of Miss Virginia Gum the libra
rian, at o'clock this afternoon.
With sympathetic insight into the
demands of the child nature, Miss
Gum has selected several unusually
interesting and appropriate stories
with which to make interesting every
minute of the time that the young
people viii spend at the library. Among
the stories chosen for the occasion are
"Circe's Palace" the pleasing and
profitable story of an adventure of the
mythical Ulysses; Little Half Chick"
and several fairy stories.
With full knowledge of every de-
tail and wide sympathy for the work,
Miss Gum has taken up the duties
laid down by Mrs. Taylor and is
achieving most pleasing results. The
attendance at the Story Hour, though
the telling of stories has been resum-
ed before the heated season has passed
and before the public schools have re-
opened, is excellent and is growing
rapidly with each passing week. The
young people of the city have some
hours of rare entertainment in store
for them during the winter evenings
to come.

play, was elaborated nto a complete

Of France Is now guarded every night
by soldiers, who do sentry duty out
side the building. a watch being like
wise kept inside it's precincts. But
within quite recent time the officials
at the French bank resorted to a very
novel method Of protecting their bull
lion. This consisted in engaging ma
son to wall up the doors of the vaults
In the cellar with hydraulic mortar as
as the money was deposited each
day In these receptacles. The water
vas then turned on and kept running
until the whole cellar was flooded. A
burglar would be obliged to work In a
diving suit and break down a cement
wall before he could even begin to
plumber the vaults. When the bank
oflcials arrived next morning the wa
ter was drawn of, the masonry torn
down and the vaults opened. Curl

LARGE Waists.

The Venus of Milo dressed In
Partisan modes might pass muster
now; thirty inches is none too big now
for a waist. Paris made the law and
every one followed it joyously; even
the stays, pull as you may, will not
give you a small waist. 1t is even
rumored that French women pad the
front of the figure to cause it to ap-
pear straight. but the n desideratum
is to keep the hips to the straight
line.
Catherine de Medici, when she In
troduced the bone corset, made thir-
teen inches the right size for the
waist, and many a woman at court
sacrificed her life to attain it. There
is no necessity to have long bones to
keen in the hips; coutil or brocade
may be cut so as to confine the dimen-
sions. Digestive organs are now left
full and easy play.
