Ancient Science.

1t is generally supposed that those
who combated the opinion that the
earth was sphere when Columbus
proposed his great voyage were only
giving expressions to opinions that
had always been entertained. But the
fact is that long before the Christian
era the Greek and Egyptian philoso-
pliers entertained the idea that the
earth was round and knew vastly
more about eclipses, the motions Of
the moon and other astronomical mat
ters than many do even today. The
idea of Columbus had been anticipated
by the ancient philosophers by moro
than sixteen centuries.

Few Visit "Garden of Eden"

It Is said that hardly more than a
dozen white travellers in year visit
the Garden of Eden. which is situated
in Turkish Arabia, and is too inacces-
sible to attract any but the most cour-
ageous tourists. But perhaps people
stay away from fear Of being disap-
pointed when they should see it.

Simplify Life.

II do believe in simplicity. 1t is as
tonishing as well as sad, how many

thinks he must attend to in day;
how singular an affair he thinks he

first frees the equation of all incum-
brances and reduces it to it's sim
plest terms. So simplify the prob

~ S. STILL TRYING
-. TO AVOID WAR

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.--The United
States will,pot intervene in Mexico
until every diplomatic agency at the
command of the state department is
exhausted. President Wilson and the
cabinet are fully in accord upon this
question.
The president and Secretary Bryan
feel that the power and prestige of
the United States are such that moth
ing will be lost through the further
exercise of forbearance toward the
revolution.
Some definite word of progress is
expected from Lind at the state de-
partment within the next few days.
Lind today reported TO the state de-
partment the results of his confer
ences yesterday with O'Shaughnessy
and Sir Lionel Garden. the British
minister to Mexico; but, pursuant to
It's usual policy of secrecy, the state
department. refused to give out any
portion of the Lind dispatches. They
were transmitted to the president and
will form the basis of the settlement
of the Mexican question.
