CHARLES H. DOING, Complainant
vs..
EDWINA D. DOING, Defendant
In the Circuit Court for Prince Georges
County in Equity.
No. 1868 Equity

TTyHE object of this suit is to procure
a divorce a vinculo natfimonii by
the mplainant from the Defendant.
The bill states in substance that the
Complainant married the Defendant on
the 22nd. day of September, 1903, and
that no children have been born of said
marriage. That while the conduct OF
the Complainant towards the Defen-
dant has always been kind. affectionate
and above reproach, the said defendant
without any just cause or excuse,
abandoned and deserted the Complain
ant in the latter part of December,
1909 and that such abandonment and
des.rtion has continued for more than
three years suninterruptedly, and is de.
liberate and final, and the separation OF
the parties is beyond any reasonable
expectation of reconciliation. That
the Comp,ainant has been resident OF
Prince 6eorge's County. State OF
Marylan for period of more than two
years last past, ami that the Defen dant
is nonresident of the State of Mary
land, and her last known place OF resi-
dence was in Geneva, Kane County,
state of Illinois. The Bill prays for
divorce a v;nculo matrimonii by the
Complainant from the Defendant and
for general relief.
II is thereupon on this 22nd'
day of July, 1918, by the Circuit Court
for Prince Georges County in Equity,
ordered that the Complainant by caus-
ing q copy of this order to be inserted
in any newspaper published in said
Prince Georges County OF ce week in
each of four 50. fessive weeks before the
25th day of August, 1918. give notice to
the Defendant Edwina D. Doing OF the
object and Substance Of the Bill OF
Complaint filed in this cause, warning
her to appear in this Court either in
person or by Solicitor on or before the
18th day of September. 1918. to show
cause if any she has why decree should
not be passed as prayed.

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 resemDled closely the figures
found in the mysterious Hypogeum
of Malta. The Hypogeum is one Of
the mysteries OF the world. 1t is a
place of curved corridors and curved
rooms beneath the surface of the
island. Who built it no man knows,
nor does any man know it's purposes.
There was found within it 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.
little objects which he at once rec
Ognized as similar to those of Malta.
He was told tina. these had been
made by the ancestors of the cave
dwellers long, long ago. The Mo
hammedan religion forbids the cary
ing or making of anything in the
likeness of living beings, whether
man or bird, beas or reptile. The
chief explained that the figures
we're 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
100 sacred to be destroyed. even il
they had come under that ban
Were the ancestors of the Trogl0-
dytes the people who cut out that
wonderful place known as the Hy
get to the African desert, and why
did they leave Malta? What was
the purpose of the Hypogeum?
These are all questions that We
have hope of seeing answered
These TroglOdytes are of two
kinds, those who live under the
ground and those who have their
burrows in the strange hills of the
region. The latter are called the
Climbers" because of their mode
of living. They make their homes
in the most inaccessible places, but
their lairs 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
1lutching projecting stones and leap
ing from one to the other in most
perilous fashion. They do it 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.
Of the rock dwellings the most
curious is Douirat, which has been
described as "a beehive mountain
lowering over a deep ravine" This
city is composed of myriads Of
caves Of all sizes and is surmounted
by citadel now in ruins and smell
ing Of the most remote antiquity.

can say little, except that it is the

an account Of the effect of lightning
on the glowworm. He had a num-

the insects gave forth a spark of

q ONE Of the ancient mystery
concerning the source and
character of the supply of

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 it's 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 il
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. 1t was eight
feet wide and ladders led down into
it. The interior was very dark
Ihe OHlcer began, to sing, and soon
some men emerged from an open
ing. They we're little men and very
dark. They spoke a 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
natural caves in the rock and had
been enlarged and extended through
centuries. The chiefs house boasted
seven stories, and how many rooms
