ened at the balloon. Tney had heard
of these vehicles Of the Italians and
had a fair idea of what they were.
The chief told the officer that his
city was but one Of scores scattered
about the region, that they were all
good Mohammedans, and that they
had lived so for many centuries.
But the most astonishing of the
things found by Lieutenant Cora
tello were several small figures
made OF baked clay which had been
made as hard as rock by time. These
figures resempled closely the figures
found in the mysterious Hypogeum
Of Malta. The Hypogeum is one Of
the mysteries OF the world. II Is a
place OF curved corridors and curved
rooms beneath the surface Of the
island. Who built 1t no man knows,
nor does any man know its purposes.
There was found within 1t a number
Of clay figures, each Of which por-
trayed enormously fat men and
women, some nude, some clothed in
flowing robes. These images only
added to the puzzle OF what the
Hypogeum was.
The chief showed the lieutenant
little objects which he at once rec
ognized as similar to those OF Malta.
He was told thas these had been
made by the ancestors Of the cave
dwellers long, long ago. The Mo-
hammedan religion forbids the carv-
ing or making Of anything in the
likeness Of living beings, whether
man or bird, beas- or reptile. Tho
chief explained that the figures
were of great holiness and, having
been made before the time of Mo-
hammed, the elders had felt that
they did not come under the ban.
Indeed he intimated that they were
too sacred TO be destroyed, even *
they had come under that ban.
Were the ancestors Of the Troglo-
dytes the people who cut out that
wonderful place known as the Hy-
pogeum2 And IL SO how did they
get to the African desert, and why
did they leave Malta? What was
the purpose of the Hypogeum?
These are ali questions that wa
have hope OF seeing answered.
These Troglodytes are OF two
kinds, those who live under the
ground and those who have their
burrows In TIE strange nils OIL tuo
region. The latter are called the
"Climbers" because Of their mode
of living. They make their homes
in the most inaccessible places, but
their lalrs are exactly the same as
those who live beneath the surface.
Still another cf these strange peo-
pie build their homes one above
the other. They enter them by
qlutching projecting stones and leap
ing from one TO the other in most
perilous fashion. They do 1t exact
ly as do monkeys, No white man
can emulate them. The leaping and
clutching stones have been worn
smooth and are polished by ages OF
use.

curious is Douirat, which has been
described as "a beehive mountain

years. They go back TO the earliest
days Of men.
The existence OF the troglodytes
Of Northern Africa was first ade-
quately described by an American
traveller, Mr.. Frank Edward John
son, who went to the cave city
called Matmata and sojourned there
with its chief for many days. Be.
fore that two French archeologists
and a Danish explorer were the
only ones to penetrate their strange
homes. The city discovered by
"P 2" lay farther back In the desert
and Is larger than any hitherto
known even so meagerly; and 1t
had never before seen a white man!
Lieutenant Coratello, the officer
In charge OF the dirigible, walked
about the place. Around the holes
were carefully cultivated fields fed
by bitches from two large springs.
There was no human being visible
anywhere. The officer looked into
one OF the openings it was eight
feet wide and ladders led down into
1t. The interior was very dark.
The officer began to sing. and soon
some men emerged from an open
ing They were little men and very
dark They spoke form OF Arabic
and fortunately the officer could
make himself understood
One Of the men was the chief OF
the village, and he invited Lieu"
tenant Coratello down into his
home. The homes were literally
burrows The ladder led into the
top stories and steps led down into
the other rooms of the burrows. The
places had apparently been first

and entering some of them he saw
that they had not even been stripped.
Time had destroyed the perishable
things, but to all scientific intents
and purposes 1t wns as though the
men who had lived in this place had
stepped out leaving things as they
were for scientists OF centuries
later to study. The lieutenant
could take but little with him. but
he did make accurate observations,

EXERCISE AND FEED NEEDED
Bad Results From Overlooking aa
sows Are lndolent and Loath to
Run About-oood Rules.

It is beyond reason that a SOW can
give birth to a strong litter OF pigs
after having gone through a four
months fast, Bad results are un.
doubtedly brought about by overfeed
ing, especially as sows are naturally
indolent and loath to exercise; but a
counteracting influence will be found
in ample exercise, that may be pro
vided by a large pasture, or even by
driving slowly a mile or so each day
The necessity of exercise should not
under any circumstances be over
looked.
It should be borne in mind in the
second place that the main demands
upon the SOW are those for the build
ing of new tissue. Hence, the kind OF
feed is important. What are known
as the nitrogenous or protein-bearine
feeds are needed at this TIM These
are bran, oilmeal, peas. beans, oats
and barley, and. to moderate ex
tent. wheat. The forage plants that
are especially suitable to pregnant
brood sows are the clovers and theiI
relatives, alfalfa, peas, beans. vetches
etc. The ordinary pasture grasses
are also Of much value.

GOOSE LAYING SEASON HERE
Advisable to Start Upon Small Scale
and Run Two Geese With Each
cander-Get Early Eggs.

One of the best seasons for pur.
chasing geese is during the latter part
OF the year for then the birds hava
a chance to settle down properly be-
fore the laying season, which in the
case OF geese begins at the end of
January. II is advisable to start
upon a small scale and TO run two
geese TO each gander They should
be housed in roomy, dry fioored quar-
ters that are well ventilated without
being draughty. Use dry straw as lit
ter and renew frequently.
When the birds are Of the right
type the young usually take aftey
them in this respect, but to assure
size IL is necessary that early eggs
be produced. for unless the young are
hatched early they have no time t.
develop before the cold days are en-.
countered. The way to produce early
eggs is to see that the birds are we'll

much of the natural food picked up

CAREFUL FEEDING OF COLTS
Must Be Kept Growing II Best Horses
Arc to Be Made OF Them-oats
Mako Good Feed.

Some people seem to think that
the colts can live out in all kinds OF
weather, and thrive on any kind Of
feed that they can get. This is a
great mistake, however Colts, like
any other young animals. must be
kept growing by careful feeding If the
best horses are to be made of them.
Now is the time of the year to pre-
pare for feeding and sheltering the
colts. Make preparations to feed
them little, gradually Increasing the
amount as the grass becomes shorter
Fix small inclosure in the pasture
where the colts run, so that they can
run under the rails at gap, but
mares will be excluded.
II the inclosure is made near the
sailing or watering place the mares
will not be so liable to toll the colts
away before they are through eating
Oats, with a little bran mixed in
them. make an excellent feed. Feed
once day, and lightly at first. In a
little while they can be fed twice
daily and will eat a quart of feed a
day.
