Masked Explorsrs.

The natural conclusion upon meet

counter with highwayman, but this
is not necessarily the case, for the
person might be scientist engaged in

found that some such protection Is re-
quired to ward OF the pain and incon-

tons OF amateur mountain climbern,
and the advantages of some protection

MEKRAN, LAND OF MYSTERY
Is Desiccated by Nature and Stunned
BY Man-FeW Tribss
LlnQer There.

Mekran. mysterious Mekran, IL the
land stretching almost from the Indus
to the entrance to the Persian gulf.
The greater part Of Mekran Is desolate
and forsaken, a land desiccated by ma
ture and stunned by man. The few
tribes which linger there are the Jet
sam of history, stray wreckage which
has drifted into this obscure corner Of
the world In the backwash Of great
events. 1t is even believed that the
Dravidians passed through Mekran on
their way to southern India and left
stragglers, whose descendants have
dwelt there ever since. There are
patches Of Mongols from the days Of
Genghiz Khan: colonies Of half-breed
Arabs from the time when an Arab
dynasty held Sind; unmistakable Raj
puts, who were there before Alexan-
der: African negroes. the offshoots Of
medieval slavery, and traces Of still
older peoples, whose origins are lost
in the mists Of time. Yet Mekran can.
not always have been either 90 dry or
so deserted. Then there are vast ma.
sorry dams, obviously built to catch
the water In the hills Just as engineers
are making dams In the Indian ghauts
today. Sometimes the hills are ter.
raced for cultivation. after the fashion
Of hills in southern Japan and else
where; only in Mekran the terraces
are dry and bare and not even q blade
of grass remains. The crumbling ruins
Of whole cities, the very names OF
which are forgotten. lie concealed be-
tween the serrated ridges.

Power From TIues and Winds.

At the recent meeting Of the British
association the question of economical
production Of power from tides and
winds was again under discussion. and
it has been taken up widely by scien-
tif1c journals In Europe. La Revue
ScientifiQue calls attention to q sys.
tenn Of utilizing the power Of sea
waves to actuate dynamo which has
been employed during the last six
months at the mouth of the River
Gironde. An air chamber is connect
ed with q well, which communicates
with the sea at a depth below the
level Of the lowest tides. BY the ad-
vance and recession Of the waves
changes of pressure are produced n
the air chamber, and system Of
valves enables the resulting air cur
rents to be applied to rotating kind
turbine. 1t is said that the apparatus
works equally welN in calm and In
stormy weather.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING TO It'd.
INGS READERS.
(By Ralph Kaye.)

I have before me the advertise
ments of two different furniture
stores. They are both offering par
lor chairs at special prices. If | am
in the market for such chairs, in con-
sidering them l naturally have in
mind the appearance of my home and
what kind of chair will look best
with my present home furnishings.
One advertisement says that their
chairs are made of quarter-sawed
oak, upholstered in real leather, and
are very comfortable. The illustra-
tions show several styles with the
prices in big letters underneath each
cut The other advertisement shows
a scene in parlor with the chairs
placed around in an attractive man
ner. This picture showed the goods
advertised in their natural surround
ings. They appeal to me and make
it easy for me to imagine how they
would look IN my home.
The reading matter or copy told
me how the chairs were made-the
kind of wood upholstery; their COM
fort; easiness of moving, etc-just
che points l want to know before |
purchase.
Furniture is no different to adver-
tise than any other article. A chair,
bed, dresser, ETC., and be exploited
in terms that are interesting to the
customer instead of in dry, stereo-
typed words that tell nothing.
If the furniture retailer would ad-
vertise his goods as if they we're in
his own home and he were using
them and knew their wants, he
would be surprised how interesting
and profitable his advertising would
be.
Next talk on laundry advertising.

THE BOOK OF BOOKS.

No nation ever survived so many
battles as the Bible; no citadel ever
withstood so many hurricanes and
was swept by so many storms. And
yet it stands. 1t has seen the rise
and fall of Daniels four empires.
Assyria bequeaths a few mutilated
figures to the riches of our national
museum. Media and Persia, like
Babylon which they conquered, have
been weighed in the balance and
long ago found wanting. Greece
family survives in its historical
fame. 'Tis living Greece no more, 3"
and iron Rome of the Caesars has
long since ceased to boast. And vet
the book that foretells all still sur
wives, while nations, kings, philoso-
piers, systems, institutions, have
died away The Bible engages mems
deepest thought, is examined by the
keenest intellect, stands revealed be-
A''C IiS HlSuSSI lllDundlS, Is more
read, sifted and debated, more de-
voutly loved and vehemently as
sailed, more defended and denied.
more industriously translated and
freely given to the world, more hon
ored and abused than any other book
the world ever saw. 1t survives all
changes, itself unchanged; it moves
all minds, yet is moved by none; it
sees al things decay, yet itself is
incorruptible; it sees myriads of
other books engulfed in the stream
of time, yet it is borne along till the
mystic angel plants its foot in the
sea and swears by him that liveth
forever and ever that time shall be
no more. With Isaiah we say: "All
flesh is as grass and all the goodli-
ness thereof is as the flower of the
field. The grass withereth, the
flower fadeth, but the word of God
shall stand forever"
