HAS THEORY OF STONEHENGE
Ii Connected With Similar Erec-
tions in North Africa.

Prof Richard Norton of Harvard IS
credited with the theory that the
cyclopean structures at StonehenCe
are connected with similar eractions
that are found in northern Africa
Professor Norton has just returned
after period of research in the
Greek city of Cyrene in Africa. and
his theory of Stonehenge is partly the
result of his work Stonehense is
ordinarily supposed to be the work OF
the Druids. and it may be said that
the Druids in British archaeology
have always occupied the place sa.
cred 10 the cat in domestic matters
Whatever was inexplicable upon any
other theory would always yield 10
the Druidic hypothesis. The Druids.
in fact, we're a sort OF lesser Provi-
dence whose powers ii was impious

tic rocking stones of Cornwall were
balanced upon a point all perplexities
were banished by reference 10 the
Druids. while the feat of erecting
Stonehenge and bringing those
mighty monoliths from a distance. A
feat well-nigh impossible TO modern
engineering. was explained in p mo-
ment and 10 the meanest intelligence

EVEN BLACKBIRD HAS SENSE
He Limits His Hours of Labor as
Strictly as Any Union
Workman.

There's some common sense even in
a blackbrd. A small army OF those
dusky feathered fliers have been
demonstrating each day that they OBJ
serve hours of labor just as strictly as
any workman in town.
Living in the big aged trees on
Bethany College campus are thou
sands of these blackbirds. Each night
they perch in the topmost branches OF
these trees. Each morning at day
break they leave their homes and fly
in great numbers to the east side Of
the city. There they remain all day,
doing their work Of gaining living
in the fields at the outskirts of town.
But they don't work overtime, not
these birds. Each evening at exactly
six o'clock the leaders fly west 10
their homes at Bethany grounds again.
The leaders are followed by hundreds
of other birds of the black wing. They
fly in a straight line several blocks in
length. Many persons in Topeka
have been watching the birds for
some time and have observed that
they never fail TO return from their
days work at the same time each
evening Capital.

The Cry Of the Guinea.

City folk visiting country neighbors
where guinea fowl are kept have oft
en- wondered at the cry of those pre-
tentious creatures. Probably no other
member OF the feathered tribes emits
a cry as eyssperating to human listen
ers as that of the guinea fowl The
average man rarely hears IL without
secretly longing to throttle the throat
from which it came.
Yet It has its uses. Guinea fowl are
the policemen of the poultry yard.
They, serve as guards TO give other
fowl warning OF the approach of dan
ger. whether il he in the form OF
thieves. dogs. hawks or crows. The
cry OF the guinea is said TO be terrify-
ing TO hawks and other predatory
birds. and it has prevented many a
raid upon tempting focks Of poultry.
But tho fact remains that 1t is an af-
front to the human ear.

These are resident entirely in Brit
ish Columbia and chiefly in the cities
of Vancouver and Victoria and on the
farms in the neighborhood. where they
are industriously employed in the
many forms of manual labor, for
which they appear to have both spe-
cial adaptation and desire.
am indebted to DIR. Sunder Singh,
the accredited agent for these people
in Canada, for the statement as to how
the eyes of the Hindus were first
turned toward America and Canada
and the first beginnings of modern
emigration from India were inspired.
He says that the visit of Hindu re-
ligious reformers 10 the great parlia-
ment of religions which was held in
Chicago in connection with the world s
fair first aroused these people TO an
appreciation of the advantages of occi-
dental civilization and democratic in
situations.
The educational work carried on
by American missionaries in the high
schools of India also prepared the way
for sowing Of good seed in ready
soil. the fruitage of which turned the
eyes of educated Hindus toward this

Music by Electricity.

The ''telharmonium. invented by Dr.
Thaddeus Cahill, furnishes what is
called electric music" not merely as
a transmitter ana i6itator. but as di.
rect producer of musical tones by
means of alternating electric currents.
BY combining these currents in differ
ent ways the operator at the key
board produces different qualities OF
tone. Or. Cahill has recently made i'm
provements which render the instru-
ment capable OF producing all sorts OF
entirely new tones of its own. while
its imitation Of trumpets. horns. viols
and violins may be so perfect as TO de
ceive even the practiced ear of mu-
steal hearer. A single receiver. 1t is
said. responds satisfactorily TO any
sound from deepest bass to highest
treble. and TO a single note OF pure
tone TO a full chord OF composite
