THE FINDING OF BUDDHA'S
BONES,

OF all the treasures unearthed by
the psychologists spade from the
hidden recesses Of the earth. no find
has ever thrilled more human hearts
than the I'VE of the bones OF
Gautama Siddartha Buddha from a
mound near PeShawar, 1ndia'S north
west frontier stronghold.
The effect of this discovery upon
the vOtarieS OF Buddhism, who are
estimated to humber more than Y
hundred million and form a large pei
centage Of the population OF japan,
Formosa, Korea, China, Tartary,
ma, Nepal, India and Ceylon, n Who
look upon Buddha as their enamel
pator, their god of gods, can be ap-
preciated only when it is considered
what a sensation the finding Of the
remains Of Mohammed would make
in the Mohammedan world. The
un%earthing Of the bones OF their rev.
cred saint, it can be easily imagined,
has stirred the Buddhists to the
depths of their being in a way that
nothing else could have done.
What adds interest to the romantic
find. not only for Buddhists, but for
men and women Of all creeds and
| climes, is the fact that the exact To-
cation where these particular relics
Of Buddha had been inferred was
shrouded in mystery, hidden in an al
| most impenetrable mass Of Oriental
legendary lore. No one knew defin-
itely where the shrine had been erect
! ed. and consequently the aunt for the
precious bones was no ~Slnecure, since
it had to be based, to a large extent,
on pure guess Work.-From the

Prehistoric Skulls Show Evidence Of
T~repanning.
There is no doubt that some rough
form of surgery must have existed
from very ancient times. but it is
strange to find that SO complex and
delicate an operation as ~trepanning is
one OF the Oldest.
So far as actual records go, Hip
pocrates gives IS the earliest account
He wrote treatises on fractures, dis
locations, and wounds Of the head,
in which he described the method
of procedure to be followed in the
case Of a fractured skull. His direc-
ton was to cut away a piece Of bone.
so that the pressure on the brain
might be relieved.
There are also records about this
time and later of a file being used
for this purpose, which, at a time
when anesthetics were undreamed Of,
must have been, to say the least, pain
full.
According to Or. T. Rice Holmes,
the operation Of removing pieces Of
bone vas performed long before his
toric times. The effects on the skull
are easily seen after death, and are
visible SO long as the bones are pre-
served.
From inspection Of certain skulls
Of the later stone age in ancient Brit
ain, DR.. Holmes has come to the
conclusion that some Of these had
undergone the operation, which must
have been performed with a stone i'm

mobile circles, is manager of the sales
branch of the Dupont Garage Company.
Mr.. Klock has been identified in
the local automobile fraternity for sew

active interest in everything pertaining
to the welfare of the industry. 1t was
through the efforts of Mr.. klock and j.
e. Connolly that the sales branch of the
company was organized He was general

AMERICA IS SUPREME
Europe Now 0utstripped in
Manufacture of Motor
Cars.

America has, without question. taken
over the motor car supremacy. so long
claimed by Europe, by the production this
year of car showing such marked ad-
vances over anything heretofore built
anywhere that it may almost be called a
new type of automobile-the Model
C-SiX,' just announced by the Stevens
Duryea Company.
The Model "C-Six'' is strik:ngly hand
some. 1t presents wholly new body design
in which chassis hood and body are treated
as one, the hood being forward extern
sion of the body, instead of merely COW
er for the engine. The hood rises and
widens gradually from the radiator to the
gracefully curved inclosing front that
takes the place of the usual straight dash.
There it meets the universal adjusta BILE
windshield, which is an integral part of
the body, not merely an accessory. The
top is locked firmly to the uprights of the
windshield in the open types of model
"C-Six." giving the security and stanch-
ness of a closed body and doing away
with all unsightly straps and rafting
auxiliary supports.
The cars are finished in English purple
lake, lakelet green, mulberry red and Wis
ible blue. Those selections were made
after a most careful study of the APP
pearance of many special color comblna-
tons which have been created in the
painting department of the Stevens-Dur-
yea company.
Two types of the two-passenger car are
offered, the model "C-SiX roadster and
the model ''C-Six' Enclosed coupelet
The three types of fve-passenger cars
are the model 'C-SiX' touring car. model
"C-Six' convertible phaeton and the mod
ell "C-SiX' Demi-Berline.
The above and two types of the seven
cars, the model "C-SiX' limou-
sine and the model "C-SiX' Berline, are
offered on the chassis, having a wheel
base of J31 inches.
Four types of Seven-paSsenger cars the
model 'C-Six" touring car, model 'C-Six"
phaeton. model 'C-Six" limou-
sine and the model "C-SiX" Berline, are
offered on the chassis, having a wheel

Watch Broken Wires.

Broken wires are occasionally the
source of misfrng. and although little
trouble may be anticipated from the well
made modern cables the wiring of older
cars is frequently defective. Wet cables
are likewise the cause of considerable
trouble in older cars, as in many in
stances the high-tension wires are car
ried beneath the flooring, and, being I'M
protected, are likely to get short-circuit-
ed through the water and mud splashed
up by the wheels. In cases of this kind
an old length of rubber hose may be
pressed into service to inclose and partly
protect the otherwise completely exposed
wires. Where the ignition wiring of
car bears unmistakable evidence of hav-
ing seen better days the only satisfac-
tory remedy is to put in new wiring
throughout the vehicle.
