Roads Too Sharply Crowned.
"Another criticism which | would make
of the improved roads is that they have
been built with too sharp a crown; this
tends to confine travel strictly to the cen
ter of the road and in turn gives the
road few years after improvement the
appearance of being much narrower than
il really is. On account of the fact that
travel holds to the crown of the road,
the shoulders quickly grass over, so that
on many sections Of improved road there
is only about ten feet of travelled track
showing between the grass shoulders.

the use of rollers. ana the high crown

DOUBLE CROSS IS
ALL NATIONS SIGN
The ti-TuberCulosiS Crusade
Badge Now Being Worn in
All Civilized Lands.

Whats the origin of these little red
crosses all the children and many of
the grown-up are wearing?" is a ques-
ton hundreds OF persons are asking.
There are few who are not familiar
with the fact that the double red cross
itself signifies enlistment in the cru
SADIE against tuberculosis, but what
they do not know is how it happened
to be chosen
The double red cross is similar in
shape to a cross used frequently in the
Greek church, and is also like the Lor-
raine cross of France. 1t was first
suggested as the symbol Of the Inter
national Anti tuberculosis association
at meeting held in Berlin in October
1902, by DR. G. Sersiron, of Paris, as
sociate secretary of the French asso-
citation The meeting promptly adopt
ed the suggestion and took steps at
once to secure official recognition and
protection for the double red cross from
the governments of Europe
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
in the United States adopted the pro-
portions of nine for the length of the
cross, 10 five for the width of the arms.
and has now used the symbol in this
country for more than four years.
When The double red cross was first
adopted there were not more than
half dozen associations for the proven
ton OF tuberculosis. organized on a
wide basis in the United States. Today

MILK WATERERS
PUNISHED Of OLD
Penalties, Too, For AduIterat-
ing Butter and Selling Eggs
of Ancient Vintage.

PARIS, Nov. 15.--The milkman who
waters his milk and the grocer who
adulterates his butter are not, after all,
the products of modern civilization and
the culture of the board school. These
gentlemen, 1t appears, have an ancestry
of a respectable antiquity, An anti
quarry has discovered in the archives of
Puy-de Dome an edict In which the
punishments assigned to the various
forms of fraud fit the crime with
Gilbertian completeness. Thus, Who
soever shall have sold watered milk, in
his mouth shall be set a tube, and into
the said tube shall he poured the wa
tered milk till the doctor or barber there
present shall assert tina the culprit can
not swallow more without being put in
danger of his days. Whosoever shall
have sold butter containing turnips,
stones or any other foreign substance
shall be seized and attached in very
curious manner to our pillory Of Pom
tet
Then the said butter shall be placed
on his head till the sun shall have
melted 1t completely; and in the mean
time the children and meaner folk of
the village shall insult him with such
outrageous epithets as shall please them
subject to the respect Of God and his
majesty. Whosoever shah have sold
evil or rotten eggs shall be seized by
the body and exposed in our pillory Of
Pontet. The said eggs shall be given
to the children of the villages, who
shall by way of joyful diversion throw
them in the face of the culprit, so that
all may be full of merriment and laugh
ter
What red letter day it must have
been for the children when large con-
signment was seized and there was
enough ripe eggs to go around! Jus
tice had humorous way with it in
those good old days.

London Conductor Analyses
Essence of This Peculiar
Treatment of Melody.

I LONDON, Nov l5.-HerbeIt God
frey, who is widely known az conductor
at the Crystal Palace, has written the
following interesting letter on rag-time
music
Sir-With all Difference to Mr. Gene
Green and others who have demon
strated the mysteries of rag time mu-
sic. they have not by any means made
it clear what is the peculiar essence of
this treatment of melody
The expression rag time" is gener-
ally described as "synocopated time"
and this is no doubt true; but though
all rag-time is synocopated-i, e.. the
short note preceding the long one in
such a way as to throw the melody off
the beat-not all syncopated music is
in rag-time.
The essence of rag-time consists in
anticipating the chief notes of melo-
dy to the extent of one eighth CASUALLY,
in slow rags" a fourth) of the value
of bar.
If this chief note occurs on the sec
ond beat of the bar Cor would be ex-
pected there normally. this anticipa-
ton results in Il tie" in the middle of
the bar. If on the first beat of the bar.
then the tie" joins the last note of the
bar to the first note of the next bar.
In either case it dcprives the tune Of
a fresh note on the accented or beat"
portion of the bar, and makes it, til
one gets a bit used to g-times, most
difficult to read.

Here also were stored many of the
precious volumes which kept alive the
flickering light of learning throughout
the medieval period of mental dark
ness, and which finally burst out into
an intellectual awakening known as the
Renaissance.

her supremacy in the commercial
world. But as she grew in wealth and
splendor. fetes and festivals like those
Of the old barbaric Romans became the
order of the day The city succumDed
to the sway Of it's voluptuaries. In the
meantime it was being constantly be-
set by It's enemies, the Saracens and
the Bulgars About this time. the lat
ter part of the tenth century, the Turk
began to cast his sinister shadow across
the Bosphorus. He had been gradually
stealing in from the East from be-
yond the Caspian and the plains Of
Khorassan.
He had established himself in Asia
Minor with the long spear and the
scimitar. His soul object was the let
ting Of Christian blood. This purpose
took precedence with him over every
consideration of government, law and
domestic economy.
The Turks had secured possession Of
all the territory adjacent to Constan-
tinople. They had destroyed the city Of
Ephesus and wiped the Byzantium en-
pire off the map. Then they began to
levy tribute on COnstantinople.
Girl First Concession.
The first concession the cross made
to the crescent was in 1347, when the
emperor gave his daughter in marriage
to Orchan, son of Gilman, the founder
Of the present Turkish dynasty. Then
the Turkish outrages in Constantinople
began. Orchan sold his Christian slaves
in the streets of the city, exposing them
naked in the market place.
While it was apparent TO the Turk
at this time that he. could take Con-
stantinople any time he desired, for
some reason he withheld his hand until
1883, when Mohammed II began his his
toric siege, which ended in the capitu-
latiOn of the city TO the Turks and ush-
cred in four centuries of unspeakable
outrage.
The Turkish hordes swept into the
city on April 2, 1853, ravenous for the
spoils which had been promised them
by their leaders. Around the temple Of
San Sofia 10000 Christians stood, pal
sled with fear and praying for some
miracle to deliver them from the terri

Invading MosIems Conquered
in Europe After Centuries of
Reign in Blood.

COnstantinople, the capital of Tur-
key, which the Bulgars have been be-
sieging, is built on the site of Bysan-
tium, that ancient metropolis of the
Dorian Greeks. which was founded by
them during the sixth century before
Christ. 1t became at once a typical
city OF the highest Greek civilization in
the beauty of its architecture and it's
streets. In addition it rose to the su-
preme commercial power of the Hell
lenic world because Of its advantageous
position. Even now there may be seen
in STEAMBOAT, that portion of CONSTANT
nOple which was the actual site of the
ancient Greek city, remains of walls
and other works of masonry built by
the Greeks.
From the very beginning Byzantium
was coveted by every race and nation
within striking distance and the city
was constantly hard pressed After
centuries of desperate lighting to main
tain its independence, Byzanttum finally
fell into the hands of Severus. But
this conqueror and his descendants
ruled the city in Wretched manner
Civic pride languished, the government
finally, in the year S24 A. D., the city
surrendered to Constantine. the first
Christian Roman emperor
Captivated by the city and its beau
tifuI surroundings, Constantine at once
adopted it as his capital, giving it the
name of New Rome, and dedicating it
ito the service of Christ"
But the world at large had chris
tened the city in honor of its con-
queror, and it has borne that name
ever since.
Laid Out Great City.
It was Constantine's ambition to be
known as the founder of the city. And
to that end he instituted elaborate GER
emonials. Marching at the head Of a
vast procession, he walked over the
hills. which were then the environs of
the city. marked the boundaries, and
laid an elaborate foundation for future
growth.
Then he set great armies OF men to
work, building and identifying the city.
He spent vast sums of money in erect
ing palaces. churches, aqueducts and
theaters.
The most nota bic church he built
was San Sofia. But this church was
burned. 1t was rebuilt later by Theo-
dosius. and was again destroyed. Then
Justinian. on the same site built

edifice than the other two.
This is the famous San Sofia which
stands today But there have been so

which they made are also of a more simple typo
than those found in the river-terrace grasels'
which are nevertheless more ancient therefore,
If We are to Judge of the type Of man from the I'M

of more advanced type than the later Mouste-

Galley Hill Of portions Of human skeleton IN
the very ancient 100-foot terrace of the Thames
has proved this to be true; for here we have
type of skull which is by no means degraded, and
associated with flint implements which show. an
advanced civilization
Thus the evidence OF the fints and the evidence
Of the human bones are in entire agreement;
but the 100-foot terrace of the Thames at Upmin-
ster. in Essex rests upon. and is therefore less
ancient than, the chalky boulder clay. and under
this boulder clay at Ipswich modern type OF
man has been found! And yet not quite modern.

and will serve to distinguish the race to which
this man belonged, was no doubt associated with
his manner of walking, but at present it is inn
possible to say exactly what this association was
The finding of a modern type of man below the
chalky boulder clay is. as has been suggested, at
first sight rather puzzling. but the dexterously
faxed implements which have been found in the
older mlddleglaclal graVels ana the SUN mucn
older detritus bed below the red crag, make the
discovery much more easy to understand. The
outstanding fact about this discovery Is that even
at such an immensely remote period as that pre-
ceding the deposition Of the chalky boulder clay
modern man was already evolved. and that to find
the primitive human type we shall have to carry
our Investigations back into stiIl more dim and
distant past.
The Neanderthal man of the earlier Ice Age is
