AN ELUSIVE BONE.


Lux IL Said to BE indestruetibIe, but u
10 Hard to Locate.
Much scholarship and anatomical
knowledge have been employed from
time to time In efforts to Identify the
bone luz. said by ancient Hebrew
writer's to be the nucleus from which
the body is reconstructed at the resur-
rection. There are many marvellous
stories of the indestructbility Of luz,
and the bone has been located by rival
claimants to the honor of discovering
1t in various parts of the human skele-
ton.
The most careful searching of the last
published and amplest treatise on este.
ology will not result in the discovery
Of the bone called luz. 1t will be nee
essary to go to the Frankfort edition
of the "Theatrum Anatomicum" Of
Caspar Bauhinus O621) for a descrip-
ton: 1T is stated by Hebrew writers
to be bone which cannot be destroy
ed by fire, water or any other element
nor be broken or bruised by any force
Its site is in the spine from the eight
eenth vertebra to the femur.
I'VE read that the Emperor Hadrian
once asked Rabbi Joshua. the son
Of Chanm. how God would resurrect
man in the world to come. He made
answer. From the bone luz in the
spinal column When Hadrian asked
him how be came by this knowledge
and how be could prove it the Rabbi
Joshua produced the bone so that the
emperor could see It. When placed In
water 1t could not be softened; Ii was
not destroyed by fire. nor could 1t be
ground by any weight; when placed on
an anvil and struck with a hammer
the anvil was broken In sunder. but
the bone remained intact" Hieronymus
Magius represents that. according to
the Talmudists. the real bone Is near
the base Of the skull. whether It be Ia
the base itself or In the spine. Vesalius
writes that this ossicle Is described by
the Arabs as resembling q chick pea In
size and shape. and Cornelius Agrippa
describes 1t as "magnitudine ciceris
mundati" tthe size Of shelled peal.
Different ANTAGONISTS have held II
variously to be the sacrum. the coccyx,
the twelfth dorsal vertebra. one of the
NORMAN bones In the skull and one
of the sesamoids of the great toe

LIFE OF THE WORLD.
Traditions That Il Will Last Only Six
Thousand Years.

U
Thousand Years.
There Is q general and widespread
notion. which the curious investigator
will find scattered throughout both
medieval and modern literature. that
the world will last 5000 years from
the date OF its creation. An inscrip.
ton in one of Martin Luther's books
reads as follows: Elijah. the prophet
said that the world had existed 1000
years before the law was given (from
Adam to Moses). would exist 1000
years under the Mosaic law (from
Moses to Christ, and 1000 years under
the Christian dispensation. and then II
would be burned"
In the Etrurian account Of the crea
tion (by Suidas) there IL a similar ira
dition. THE Creator spent 5000 years
In creation, and 5000 more are allotted
to the earth"
In the black letter edition Of Foxes
Acts and Monuments" (16S2) there
q a whole sermon given with the
5000 year limit of the earth's duration
a. text.
Some writers contend that the ''sil
days" referred to In holy Writ really
mean 5000 years and that the ''sev-
enth day" Is a type of the coming mil
lennium, or sabbath Of a thousand
years" The psalmist says, For 9
thousand years are In thy sight as yes
terday" psalm &c, 4. See also II Peter
III. 8.

A priceless manuscript of. eighteen
pages, found In an Egyptian monu-
ment and published In facsimile in
France about the years1S47, is thought
to be the oldest book In the world.
Procured at Thebes by Prisse
rAvennes and presented by him to
the national library at Paris, it is
usually called the ''Papyrus Prisse."
from the name Of the donor. As the
manuscript was found ina monument
of the eleventh dynasty. It must be an
terror to the shepherd kings and there
fore older by many centuries than the
time of Moses-clder even than the
date usually assigned to Abraham
and so of all existing books it would
be the most ancient. The words of
every page. though believed to have
been written 1000 years ago. are In
tensely black to this day and ina bold.

BY a curious irony this echo from
the very childhood Of the world la

passed away. The author. who was a

THE LIBRARY SITE.

Somebody, for some reason or
other, is trying to arouse some con-
tention over the site for the public
library.
We had supposed this matter was
already settled by the Library
Board. When they came up to
this question some time ago, they
took a vote on the matter and decid-
ed, FIVE to TWO, that they would
choose the Cleaveland lot as the site.
Their reasons for the choice were
given at the time, and also later and
everybody seemed quite well salts
fed. The contracts are made out
with the owners of the lot, and it
would be difficult now, if not indeed
a violation Of contract, to back out
On the agreements made.
Just-'what is the purpose of the
present agitation is not clear. On
the face of it, there is desire to
save the people of the city some
money at the present time, forget
ting that a few hundred or few
thousand dollars in a project Of this
kind is nothing when compared with
the proper location of public build
ing which is to last as long as the
city shall last.
: A thing Of this kind ought to be
done right when it is done. so that
succeeding generations vii aot re-
greet what we have done.
However, we are always willing to
give the people chance to say what
they want, and we suggest, that If
it is desired to take the matter out
of the hands Of the Library Board,
q vote of the subscribers to the
library fund be taken on this ques-
ton of q site. Inasmuch as they
are donating the site to the city,
they are the ones who should have
the say about what they shall donate.
But, whatever is done let no one
be so unpatriotic to Plymouth as to
suggest again that anybody refuse
or fail to pay his subscription tc
the fund, just because of this ques-
ton of a site. We are going to pay
ours whether the library is put on
the Cleave.and lot on the Haslangel
lot or over in YOUNGSTOWN.

immediate effect on wet counties, ex-
cept where a saloon was running In
unit that did not have enough pop
ulation to make up the ratio fixed by
the county commissioners.
In the cities and towns that have
voted wet since the law went into eff
feet, however, high ratios have r due
ed the number of saloons greatly in
comparison with the number in oper-
alton before the first local option law
was passed. Anderson is an example.
Two years ago, before the city voted
dry, there were Is licensed sa 'oons in
the city. Now the city is about to
become wet automatically under the
Proctor law, but only 26 saloons will
be permissible. because the ratio of
one to 1000 population has been
fixed by the county commissioners.
In Larger Cities.
On the other hand, indianapolis,
LNdhSNhic, lciIc 1ldute, ooutH LEM
and Fl. Wayne are examples Of
how little immediate effect the Proc
tor law had in greatly reducing the
number of saloons in those cities.
indianapolis, with a ratio of che
saloon to 700 people, would have
been entitled to only 234 saloons
had the city been dry when the
Proctor law was enacted. Indian
apolis, however, had 753 saloons
when the 700 limit was fixed, but
this number has been reduced al
ready 70 about 733 by several causes
of the regulative act. This reduc-
ton, though not great, shows what
may be done if the law is strictly
enforced.
And what is true of indianapolis
is also true of the other large cities.
South Bend, where the ratio is one
saloon to 1000 persons, has pop
ulation Of 1864, but it has 275
saloons, though only IS would be
permissible if the city had been dry
when the Proctor act was passed.
But Soth Bend, like Indianapolis,
is drawing the line on law viola
tors, and those who fail to meet the
requirements of the regulative act,
and the number Of saloons will be
reduced 80 or more in that city.
In the Smaller Cities.
In some of the smaller wet cities,
of which Lawrenceburg is an ex-
ample, it will take many years to
bring the number of saloons down
to the limit, unless the law is rigid
lv enforced. In Dearborn county
the ratio is one saloon to 800. This
limit would give Lawrenceburg, with
population Of 1890, only nine sa-
looms. but the city must have more
than double its population before
the 10 saloons now in operation
there are within the limit.
The limit is based on population,
but the law permits the commission
ers to take the vote at the last
general election, multiplied by i've,
as a means of estimating the popula-
ton. This method Of computing the
population gives some cities more
saloons than they would have if the
1910 census had been made the
basis.

FIGURES ARE GIVEN
The Limitation Fixed BY the Law
Makes Fewer Saloons In Places
Where There We're
No Saloons.

Figures compiled from the election
returns from local option contests
held In the three months which have
elapsed since the new local option
law and the Proctor liquor REGULATE n
law went into effect, show that the
drys have met with heavy losses.
These losses have been in the cities.
The drys have gained in another
way, however, as the Proctor law has
put many vidlators out of. the saloon
business. Since the local option
law became effective elections have
been held in 1873 units. The election
units under this law are city, town,
township, and territory in township
outside of a city or town. Thirty
saloon keepers have been put out OF
business In Indianapolis alone.
The new laws, therefore, work both
ways. The city and township unit
law has opened former dry cities to
licensed saloons, a gain for the iqucr
forces, even though the number Of
saloons is small. The Proctor regu-
lative act has raised the standard Of
saloon keepers by depriving law VIC
lators of licenses. This is benefit
to the drys, as one Of their objections
to liquor selling has been that men
who care nothing for the laws have
been permitted to engage in the bus
mess.
Vets Gain in Cities.
All the 1913 units in which elections
have taken place were dry by coun-
ty option law vote two years ago or
by remonstrance. One elect on, Laur-
ell township, Whitley county, resulted
in tie. OF the others the vets car
ried so, all losses for the drys, be-
cause the units were dry before the
elections. The drys retained 142 of
the 1913 units. but most of the units
that voted dry are rural commun ties
whose vote made counties dry under
the old law.
