was right on the job.

and guns to the hotel vcranda. Every
thing all right?'
"Uouldn't be BETTER" was the prompt
response of mine host.
How about the game?" returned the
sportsman, eagerly. Are there any

Iona Journey.

A railroad from Nome to Cape Horn
is being considered, and sometime
we may be able to take a through
sleeper from II end of the American
continent to the other. In that case
we would sample all kinds of climates
from arctic to tropical and we would
encounter endless variety of surface
and scenery. Popular Mechanics says
that several routes for such a rail.
road are being considered, but which
ever one may be chosen the lines al.
ready built and covering over half the
distance would be utilized. The fact
that these exist makes the project
seem less like a dream, but if we
smile owe it we might remember that
men of affairs laughed at Cecil Rhodes
when he suggested a railroad from the
Cape of Good Hope to Cairo-the en-.
tire length of Africa-but that road
is now being built-is more than half
done, indeed.

true in many things, it frequently hap
pens that an invention or appliance
commonly believed to belong to modern
times is oun to have been known and
used centuries ago.
Ropes made of various kinds of fiber
and leather are of very ancient date.
Ropes of palm have been found in
Egypt in h tombs of Beni-Hassan
, (about 5000 Il. O. and on the wallis OF
these tombs is also shown the process
of preparing hemp. In Il tomb at
Thebes OF the time Of Thothmes III.

ing the process OF twisting thongs o:
leather and the method of cutting the
leather into thongs. The bible tells
US that Sampson was bound with ropes.
and that the spies sent by Joshua into
Jericho were let down in a basket, pre-
sumably by means of a rope.
AT Nilnrod, Assyria, n carved slab

sented in the act of cutting a rope to
which a bucket for drawing water from

Although the Assyrians practiccd TIE

been found to indicate that they used
Wire for making rope.
The excavations at Pompeii have,
however. brought to light a piece of
bronze wire rope nearly fifteen feet
long n about one incl in circumte--
ence. This rop is now In the Music
Borbonico at Naples. It consists OF
three strands laid spirally together,
each strand being made up of fifteen
wires twisted together, n its con-

greatly from wire ropes today. Pom

years ago. but how long wire ropes
had her been known 1t is Impossible
to tell. though judging by the kncwl-
edge shown in the construction. 1t may
be safely concluded that they had been
known for a considerable time. The
uses to which these ropes were put are
not definitely known. but further ex-
cavations may shed some light on the
subject.

WOULD BE A CALAMITY"

WOULD BE A CALAMITY"
Editor The Georgian:
The greatest calamity that
could befall this country would
be the repeal of free tolls, for the
reason given by the President.
This Is true. because repeal for
that reason, commits the United
States to a deliberate interpreta-
ton of the treaty on one point,
and that Interpretation would be
turned disastrously against us on
other and more important points.
There is but one step between
the United States and endless
embarrassment, and that step is
repeal for the reason urged by
the President. Defeat Of Mr..
Wilson's bill is Of supreme i'm
portance.
Congress could Immediately
after its defeat pass a repeal bill
and allege as a reason that the
canal was going to be operated at
?. loss Of ten million dollars a
year, and that the question of
free tolls should be left to the
American people, after they had
been furnished full information.
Repeal Of free tolls FOR this rea-
son would leave US free. Repeal
for the reason given by the Pres
ident would leave US enslaved
The question OF whether we
should or should not have free
tolls | am not discussing. The
Hearst papers should demand the
abrogation OF that horrible alb
dication Of our own sovereignty

This done, the Congress should
declare that the canal was open

J. S. G.-You are wrong in con-
tending that Lavater was the first
to write upon the Science OF
Physiognomy." Great and lasting
as were Lavater's contributions

means the first in the field. The
first systematic treatise on physi
ognomy is that attributed 70 the
wonderful old Greek Aristotle
Aristotle seemed to have thought
OF pretty nearly everything, and
among the rest OF the things he
thought OF was physiognomy--the
art OF reading the character from

THE BLACK DEATH.

TIE bERSR YEA n.
H. L. C.-This terrible plague,
originating somewhere in the East,
passed by way Of Armenia into
Asia and thence to Egypt and
North Africa. Reaching Sicily in
1916, It spread over Italy. France
and nearly all of the countries OF
Europe, including the British
Isles. The mortality was appall-
ing. some 25.00O,000 people DIV
ing from the dread epidemic. The
nature OF the great pestilence
has been a matter OF much con-
troversy, but 1t is generally con-
coded that il was closely related
to what is known to-day as the
'bubonic plague"
