Mrs. OFT Charges Cruelty in
Suit for Divorce Against
Her Artist Husband.

ST. LOUIS, Sept 9-The strangest
romance of modern times has gone the
way or too many modern romances.
and Mrs. Ralph Chesley OFT is suing
for divorce from the artist whom she
married a little more than two years
ago and whom she said she had met
and loved some 5000 years before that
in Egypt
In that far age she was the Princess
Amneris and ne was an artist in the
employ of the naughty Pharaoh her
father. 1t was case of love at first
sight, according to Miss Jane Schauf-
fert, the reincanated Amneris and an
artist model. They met, but alas. They
could not marry owing to difference Of
rank.
But in the year OF grace 1910 out in
Missouri things differed from the Egyp-
tian order. Let OFT describe the meet
ing between the Princess Amneris, now
Miss Schauffert. and himself
He had returned from a commission
to study the ancient architecture Of
Egypt by f. c Lewis. who desired its
reproduction in University City. Mo,
where he saw his bride-t be.

wend our way TO the river where she
would throw sweetmeats to the sacred

A LIVING TOWER.
Four Trees Form Its Corners and
Make a Green Bower.

From the Wide World.
What is known as the Giving tower
stands on the very summit of a hill more
than 200 feet high at Camp Meeker, a
summer resort in Sonoma county, Cal.
Capt. Meeker, an old pioneer, conceived
the idea of constructing a tower on this
hill near his hotel, and while looking
around one day for a suitable site he
found four young redwood trees standing
about twelve feet apart, forming a. per-
feet square.
The idea suddenly came to him to build
a living tower The trees were each
about 80 feet high. Fifty feet of each
top was Topped off, and the work of build
ing six stories was then commenced.
From top to bottom the living tower is
100 feet high. Each floor is about
timbers. the ends of which are securely
attached to the four trees by means of
steel cables and bolts.
SO strongly was every part braced that
the whole structure does not move as
much as one would naturally suppose,
even when rocked by heavy winds. The
tower has been examined by builders and
engineers and pronounced perfectly safe.
In the building great care was taken by
the workmen to cut only the branches
growing on the inside of the square, and
the trees We're not chopped, mutilated or
weakened any more than could possibly
be avoided.
Leading up from each story are broad
stairways, SO that one may ascend and
descend with ease and perfect safety
while around the edge Of each floor are
strong ratings to prevent accidents. Since
this tower was completed the trees have
grown and fourished just as we'll as be-
fore. AS time goes on this unique look
out observatory will become literally en-
powered in foliage. This Giving tower
is claimed to be the only one of it's kind
in the world.

Autos and Children.
From the Chicago Tribune


An ingenious French writer predicts
the doom of his gay nation because Of
the automobile. Since it was found, says
he, that 1t does not cost more to keep an
automobile than to keep a baby. French
men and French women give preference
to automobiles rather than to babies.
Not desiring at all to arouse interna-
tional complications, we venture. never
theless. to say that the Frenchman is
mistaken. We are not exactly partisans
Of the automobile. but We believe in this
case 1t is being made a scapegoat. II
we are not mistaken, the birth rate prob
lem in France is much older than the
automobile.
Thousands Of American farmers having
large families are finding the automobile
q great comfort and a help In child rails
ing. The farmers wife finds It easier to
control a machine than to handle the
average "hitch." The farmers children
are getting q great many more rides now
than they got before the days Of the
auto.
No. the ingenious French writer had
better search for another theory to ex-
plain the declining birth rate in his coun-

Ant Hills Forty Feet High.
IN the Wide World Magazine

From the Wide World Magazine.
West African ant hills are veritable
giants, frequently standing forty feet
high. These ant hills are shaped some
thing like a sugar loaf and are divided
inside into hundreds of tiny rooms. They
have, needless to say, myriads of in
habitants, and these are all busiy occu-
pied in various ways-forming tunnels,
making roads, gathering food and watch
ing over the eggs and youngsters. The
natives are afraid to touch these hills,
except from a distance with firearms
The ants often make their strongholds
round trees, and they are built very SOL
idly, with sides sometimes twenty inches
thick. The inside is hollow, and at the
top there is a sort Of attic. The royal
CELL" where the queen ant lives, is al
ways found on the ground floor. This
good lady is a prisoner, but is carefully
fed by her busy subjects. the eggs she
lays being Immediately carried away and
deposited in rooms set apart for the
purpose.

The stone sun dial. probably of the thir-
teenth century, which has just been
placed in the south wall of the chanceI
of West Clandon Church is likely to be
of considerable interest to antiquaries
The dial. which has unfortunately lost
its gnomon. was till recently built into
the western side of buttress. having ap-
parently been regarded as a piece of stone
of no value
The stone on which the dial is cut is of
chalk and the dial is about foot
across. The engraving of the lines on
the face is deep and sharp. the stone be-
ing in a good state of preservation and
the hole in which the gnomon has been
fixed Is wide and deep At each of those
positions on the face of the dial which in
a clock would be called the quarters four
dots are engraved, but these dots are ar
ranged in different positions. Sun dials
such as that at West Clandon are not
