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 Psychologists
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 it
had never before seen a white mani
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
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

been enlarged and extended through
centuries. The chiefs house boasted

an account Of the effect of lightning
on the glowworm. He had a num-
Der of larvae in four glasses, and
the insects gave forth a spark of
light if they were disturbed by tap
ping on the glasses or the shelf on
which the latter were kept. He
says:

concerning the source and

light which the glowworm and the

cleared up. That mystery has been
diligently inquired into ever since
electric lighting was achieved, and
the problem of light without heat

The phosphorescent theory by
way of accounting for the light
given out by these insects has not
been entirely satisfactory, owing to
the brilliancy of the flashes pro-

Time had destroyed the perlshahle

men who had lived in this place had
stepped out leaving things as they

The basket ball boys are with us
again. They report a good time
at Reno and Carson. One player
deserves a great deal of credit for
trying to uphold the honor of the
school as he was almost too i'll to
play during both games. The score
as already reported stood thirty
nine to twenty-one in favor of Reno
in the Thurday night game and
twenty to thirty in favor of Carson
in the Friday night game. The
boys were invited to play a game
with Gardenerville. They refused
because they wanted to be back
for work Monday morning.
Our beautiful new pictures are
hung and pupils and teachers are
delighted with them. Miss Kne-
meyers DON received the Ann

pupils thought to be the most

Nevada, my own Nevada,
We are very proud of thee:
Nevada my own Nevada,
Thou a home to me.
Few are thy cities
And thy towns are far between,
Scant are thy harvests
And thy fields of green:
But thy sage brush deserts.
And thy Mills so brown and bare
Have their own strange beauty -,
In thy lucent air.
And SO it seemeth,
AS If to compensate,
Thy skies are fairest
Where thy harvest waits.
In thy ~treeless hillsides
How the colors dawn and die
And where earth is dearest
Softest shadows lie. ,
Chorus
Oh, my Nveada,
Some day thy waters stored,
Flow through thy vail, Us.
And unlock thy hoard;
And thy fields shall ripple
With the laugh of golden grain,
And thy hills shall echo,
With thy laugh again.

Will Represent Opponents of
Railroad Rate Increase.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Louis D. Brande,s
of Boston, has been retained by the In.
terstate Commerce Commission to repre-.
sent the opponents of the per cent in
crease in freight rates proposed by the
Eastern railroads.
Announcement Of Mr.. Brandeis's &C.
ceptance was made to-day. Ii was made
clear that Mr.. Brandeis was not 10 be
sion, but was charged with the develop
ment and adequate presentation OF all Of
ghe facts In the controversy.
1t is expected that the railroads will
file their increases on October IA or IL.
The new rates will be suspended at once
by the commission, and the case then
will be at issue 1t Is the purpose of
Commissioner Harlan. who will have
charge of the proceeding, to mold a pre-
limnary hearing the latter part Of No
vember or in December.
THE carriers who have asked the rate
advance will be represented at the hear
ing by some of the 'ablest attorneys IN
the country" said Mr.. Harlan. They
will fully develop the concrete proposition
that the carriers are in need of more
revenue. The individual shipper is i'll
equipped to meet such a controversy, be-
cause his interest is confined largely to
the rates on his particular products
Therefore, unless the commission takes
steps TO develop the other side of the
broad question it is likely to have a one
sided record on which to dispose Of the
issue.

that we ought to have all the light posi-
