Barring THE SITE OF JERICHO
Excavations Are Revealing Most Inter
estlng Details for Students
Of Archaeology.

In the Journal OF the German Pal.
estine society, Professor Thiersch
gives interesting particulars of fur
ther excavations carried out on the
site of Jericho by Professor Sellin.
The chief work of the past year, he
says, has been the laying bare of the
great outer wall of the city, which
is described as something extraordin-
ary, even in its present reduced state
something majestic and overwhelm-

this outer wall is Israelitish work.

identified as the work of Hiel, whose
achievements are described in the
First Book of Kings: "In his (Ahab's)
days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jer-

in Abirnam, his first born; and set up
the gates thereof in his youngest son

WELL GUARDED FROM THEFT
Bank of England So Protected as to
Bid Defiance to Even 5oldest
Thieves.

The Bank Of England, which not
long ago narrowly escaped damage
from bomb disguished as a milk
can, is quite the bestguarded institu-
ton in the world. No burglar or bank
thief has ever succeeded in making 1t
part with penny.
The great outer doors are SO finely
balanced that clerk can, by press
ing a knob under his desk, instantly
shut them in the face of any one max
ing a dash for the street. They can
not be opened except by special ma
chinery.
In recesses near the door are hidden
four guardians, who, without being
seen themselves, watch all visitors
through mirrors.
Special and costly precautions are
taken to guard the bullion depart
ment, where the gold is stored. 1t
has been stated that the whole de-
partment is submerged every night
in several feet of water by machinery.
The same machinery would be also
set in action automatically, II at any
time during the day the place were
tampered with.

CHAMPAGNE CAVES OF REIMS

Beneath the town of Reims-known
as the champagne city" of France
are the great vaults in which is stored
for proper maturing the worlds sup
ply of the sparkling, amber wine. The
caves are in reality a series of tun-
nels and chambers followed out of
the solid chalk formation which un-
derlies Reims From 20 to 100 feet
underground these drifts radiate in
every direction beneath the business
district of the wealthy little city and
their total length is estimated at about
$50 miles, or about equal to the sub
way mileage Of New York and Lon
don combined. In the so-called caves
are usually stored about 150,000,000
quarts of champagne Of many differ
ent vintages. According to the French
wine manufacturers underground stor-
age is necessary for the proper matur-
ing of champagne, as 1t is possible in
the vaults to maintain, with little
artificial assistance, an even tempera-
ture of about As degrees, Fahrenheit,
all the year around.

CURVED JAPANESE ROOFS

Architects are very often puzzled by
the origin of the curves appearing
upon many of the roofs in Japan, and
the ease with which carpenters can
so accurately construct what the Jap
anese architect designs. The curve
of a Japanese temple roof is about as
difficult a line to draw as man has
contrived, but how the Japanese ar
lists themselves succeed so well in re-
producing it has never been explained.
Modern artists and writer's see in
these unique and beautiful curves a
resemblance to the sagging outlines
of the primitive tents used ages ago
by the forefathers of the japanese
race who dwelt on the burning plains
of China, but there does not appear
to be any evidence to support such a
conclusion. The curve is a catenary
the most beautiful, perhaps, Of all
natural curves, formed by gravitation
when chain or cord is suspended be-
tween two points.

A vast tragedy hovered about that

misery, Norman Earle had sacrificed
his all TO help them bear their bur
dens.

quarrelsome shiftless fellow. Dawes
had seized a loose fence pallng to as

latter had struck Dawes with heavy
cudgel he held in his hand.
Dawes had staggered away, bleed
Ing from a wound on his head. An
hour later he was found lying insen-

by his side.
There had been an arrest and a
trial Dawes recovered his senses. but
not his reason. He was sent to an
asylum and Porter, arraigned on the
criminal charge Of deadly assault, was
sentenced to ten years in the states
prison.
Earle was paying attention to Mir
lam at the time. 1t was he who un-
dertook the defence OF Porter. The
latter admitted that he had struck
Dawes. but claimed self defense. No
one had Witnessed the quarrel.
When the case was ended, Earle
found that he had neglected his reg

COPPER PENNIES ARE PURE

The copper cent is a product of
electricity. Almost pure copper is
used to make this the only copper coin
issued in the country. This pure cop
per is secured by an electric process.
In the old days II was a very expen-
sive process to refine copper ore, and
the resultant copper was far from be-
ing pure. Now this refining is done by
electricity, much the same way as
electroplating is accomplished The
copper ore is placed in tank near the
positive plate Of battery and the
electric current turned on. The cop
per is rapidly broken up into minute
PARTICLES, which are carried through
the water by the passage Of electricity
and deposited on the negative plate Of
the tank. The result is known as
"electrolytic "copper" which is the pur-
est known in the metal industry.

GREAT STRENGTH OF BEETLES

If you we're as strong, proportion.
ately, as the beetle and were a man
weighing 200 pounds, you would be
able to lift with ease 10000 pounds.
A beetle can lift 200 times its own
weight
Or, If you could jump about with
the same ease as the grasshopper, you
could spring over the tallest building
without much effort
Or, again, if you wanted to be mere
ly as strong as the bee, you would
have to drag after you a load weigh
ing 1000 pounds.
1t seems, apparently, from such OBJ
servations made by naturalists, that
the greater in size the animal the
greater is the muscular energy need
ed to move it about, and that there
is not much left for outside force.

girl crossed the hall. She paused and

man emerging from a room near by,

SOME WONDERFUL ESCAPES

An acrobat. who performs on a trap
eze attached 10 a balloon, recently fell
a distance OF 1900 feet into the lake
OF Zurich, just missing death by few
yards, for II he had not jumped from
his seat when he did he would have
been dashed TO pieces on the rocky
shore OF the lake. He escaped un-
hurt.
Several instances OF people falling
from incredible heights and surviving
to tell the tale can be quoted. AT
Brighton, England. an actor, known as
Lieutenant Daring who was playing
the part OF naval oficer who is at
tackled by brlgands in a moving pic
ture play, and who was supposed to
slip over the cliff-in reality. however,
to stand on plank which had been
placed below the edge to make the
Illusion complete-missed his footing
and fell ninety feet into the sea, es-
Gaping with a sprained wrist
An even more miraculous escape
after a fall over a cliff was that of a
seven-year-old child who had been
gathering flowers on Culver cliff. near
Sandown, Isle Of Wight, who slipped
and fell 200 feet She was only
slightly injured. a bottle which she
carried being unbroken.
Often the merest accidents prevents
death. A Cardiff laborer some time
ago fell from a scaffolding about fifty
feet high, but as he fell his foot
caught in the scaffolding and he hung

under the circumstances, but he loved
her more than ever from his sym
pathy, interest and contact with the
family during their sore troubles.
Il have discovered some new evi
dence," he now said to Mrs. Porter
1T cannot be introduced in court, but
1t certainly casts a new phase on
the injury Dawes sustained"
What is it?" pressed Mrs. Porter
suspensefully.
Il have found a man, a travelling
tinker, who was passing by the Dawes
place the day of the quarrel. He says
he saw Dawes climb up to a shed, on
the roof Of which rested his shotgun.
That was after Mr.. Porter had struck
him and the half intoxicated man
evidently was not seriously injured by
the blow of the club. In a revenge
full mood he was after the gum to re-
turn and wreak his hatred on your hus-
band. The tinker saw him fall from
the roof, gun and all. That fall,
am convinced, brought about his loss
of reason and not the blow given him
by Mr.. Porter"
"Oh, II you can only prove that"
fluttered Mrs. Porter.
Il am going to try to-" explained
Earle-"to the governor of the state.
am going at once to seek a pardon
for him"
The state capital was less than fifty
miles from MillVille. Four hours later
Earle boarded an electric car to
make a quick run for his destination.
He was SO immersed In the burden on
his mind that he only casually noticed
that there were only two other pas
sengers.
One was a fine looking dignifed
gentleman, smoking cigar ON the
front platform and conversing with
the motorman. The other was lit
tie girl Of about seven, who occupied
one whole side seat Of the car She
evidently was the daughter of the pas
senger outside. AS Earle entered the
car, the doll the little maid carried
fell fom her grasp. He restored it to
her with a pleasant smile and she
chartered away about her papa out
side, and how they had missed
train and had to take the trolley line,
and how she had four other dolls at
home and two sisters.
Suddenly rough jerk of the car
caused Earle to glance quickly ahead
and then leap to his feet.
Jump" he heard the motorman
fairly scream.
AS the man spoke he gave the brake
q violent pull, fairly pushed the pas
Henger beside him clear free OF the
