"THE LAST DAYS
OF PomPEII''

without doubt the most
dramatic event in the history
of the world was the destruc-
tion of Pompeii in 70 A. ID. by
a terrific eruption of the volca.
no of Mt. Vesuvius. Fifteen
years previous this delightful
city on the shore of the Bay OF
Naples was rudely shaken
and partially DESTROYED by an
earthquake and the inha bitants
were just recovering from the
effects OF it and rebuilding e
their public buildings and
beautiful homes when the rage
of Vesuvius was vented upon
them. The volcano for hours
poured forth volumes of smoke
hot flames shot up to the hea-
| vens and steady downpour of
clouds of hot dust, stone and
lava kept falling on the doom
ed city until it was buried un-
der twenty-eight feet of cinders
stones and lava, and 80 com
pletely obliterated that all
traces IF its location even were
lost for nearly seventeen cent
uries. Many of the inhabitants
escaped but a larger percent
age -perished. The eruption
was accompanied by frequent
earthquakes and to add to the
horrors terrible storm ragged
for hours. 1t happened while
most of the inhabitants were
attending the games at the
amphitheatre and came upon
them SO suddenly they were
almost paralyzed with fear.
The city was shrouded in dark
ness and even the SEA had re.
ceded. 80 that thousands who
sought escape by means of it
in their superstitious fear re.
turned to the city. only to be
destroyed by the foul poison
and vapors of the air and hun
dred other agents of death pro-
oked by the eruption.
Lord Bulwer Lytton in his
famous romantic novel The
Last Days of Pompeii" i'm
mOrtalized the event and using
data obtained from scientific
research n d investigation,
peopled it with his imagina-
tion. Mr.. George Kleine with
his photo dramatization of
Lord Lytton's novel, will do
even more to recall it to mod.
ern amusement lovers. His
pictures of the eruption give a
most impressive and vivid idea
of the awful magnitude of this
world famed catastrophe. Mr..
Kleine's photo drama The
Last Days of Pompeii" will be
presented at the Grand Theater
for one night only, Thursday,
January 8. (adv)

Tho Chemical Detective.

Great is the chemist. A glue fac.
tory, which was proud of the sticking
qualities of its glue, received many
complaints that its glue was not stick.
Ing, and the manager believed 1t was
not his product that was at fault, but
glue made by some other concern and
falsely represented to be his.
The chemist was asked to find rem
edy He made slight change In the
process of manufacture, so that when
a certain chemical was applied to the
glue any time after it had left the
factory the glue would Immediately
change to a certain color. Statesmen
were then given bottles of this chem
ical. Whenever they were told that
their glue had failed they asked to see
the faulty work and then dropped some
of the chemical on the dry glue. II
the proper color appeared it was their
glue, otherwise 1t was competitors.
If the customer doubted the test the
salesman could prove the fairness of

Welded Eyebrows.

In Turkey meeting eyebrows are
greatly admired, and the women use
artificial means to bring the brows to
this condition. and If art cannot induce
thin eyebrows to grow they make up
by drawing a black line with paste.
1t would appear that the Greeks ad-
mired brows which almost met, and
the fashionable inhabitants of Rome
not only approved of them, but resort
ed to pigments to make up the lack
which sometimes existed
Some proverbs state that the person
whose eyebrows meet will always have
good luck, while others state exactly
the reverse. The Chinese say that
people whose eyebrows meet can new

minister OF state" and In Greece Of

Don't Scratch a Mole.

DR.. Jean Dartier. speaking before
the French Association For the Study
of Cancer, referred to the tragic pos
sibilities of the innocent looking mole.
Scratch a MOLE" he said, "and you
may catch a cancer"
Some moles were harmless and some
were potentially poisonous, he con-
tinued. The only wise course was to
leave well enough alone and resist the
temptation to scratch the mole. Warts
and wens should be borne patiently
lest worse befal their possessors. DR..
Dartier told Of a man who by cauter-
izing a harmless wart on his hand
transformed it into cancer

SOME POINTS ABOUT DIVING
Few Boys Who Swim Know How 70
Travel Under Water Properly
Z Practice Makes Perfect.

Almost every small boy who has
ever been in swimming knows how to
dive after Q fashion, but few OF them
can dive properly or In such q way
as to run NO danger of being hurt
while enjoying the sport. II you know
how to do 1t you can dive about az
we'll in two feet of water as in TWEEN.
ty and with equal safety. In various
parts Of the country there are now
professional divers who are nightly
making crowds Of spectators hold their
breath with apprehension while the
diver drops from height Of so feet
or more into small tank of shallow
water.
When you dive draw the head down
slightly toward the chest and stretch
the arms forward on q level with the
breast, not raising them above the
head Bend the knees a trifie and
make an oblique plunge. taking care
not to keep the body too stif. Don't
push too hard with the feet or you will
come down on your back or side.
After entering the water instantly
throw the head back and turn your
face toward the surface. This will
make your body assume crescent
shape. bending upward. and you will
slip to the surface like a creased eel.
II you have made a deep dive, a swift
stroke or two downward with the
hands will make you rise very quick
ly. When jumping from great height
the legs, arms and head should be
kept perfectly rigid. A feeling u.
bowels give one q desire to spread the
legs and arms or to bend the body.
Doing this will be sure to result In dis
aster. Don't try to make any high
dives unless you have had long prac-
tice In diving. tfF
