NORTHERN AFRICA.
Where Once the Ancient Romans Ruled
 In Wealth and Splendor.

Where Once the Ancient Romans Ruled
 In Wealth and Splendor.
 It is not generally realized that dur ing the early centuries of our era the Roman proconsular province Of Africa rivaled Italy itself in wealth and bril- liancy and that ill what are now Tunisia and Algeria there exist Roman ruins that vie in number, splendor, and state of preservation with those to be found anywhere else.
 The fall of Carthage in 146 B. c. led the Romans to establish themselves in North Africa, at first fin modest settlement. the purpose of which was to see that the Phoenician city was not rebuilt. Ere long they themselves, however, reoccupied the site and built on 1t a city that became the third in the empire.
 The gradual extension of their rule was forced on the somewhat unwilling Romans. To protect their settlement against the predatory Phoenicians, Libyans, and Berbers they found 1t necessary to push their conquests along the littoral to the west and the south, into the high plateaus between the Tell Atlas and the Sahara Atlas. and even we'll into the desert itself, till good part of what are now Tripoli, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco was ruled by them.
 The country was much more exten- sively cultivated and thickly populated than at present, and for centuries was the principal granary of Rome. After lasting for nearly six centuries Roman rule in North Africa was brought to an end by the invasion of the vandals from Spain and their capture of Car thage in 439 A. D.-Argonaut.

DEEP BREATHING.
1t Freshens Up the Whole System and

It Freshens Up the Whole System and
 Kills That Tired Feeling.
 Deep breathing does more than bene- fit the lungs. Physiologists tell us that the great advantage is that it gives the liver healthy squeeze. All organs in the abdominal cavity as well as the liver are apt to get overcharged with blood from careless habits of sitting. A relaxed sitting position causes the abdominal muscles to relax so that blood runs into this part of the body like water and 1t accumulates like stagnant pool.
 The blood needed in the brain is down in the liver. The condition pro- duced led the ancients to refer to a man with the blues as hypochondriac, which means, literally, down under the ribs. Today we speak of the condition as being down in the mouth because the lines of the face are pulled down.
 Melancholy is due to a congested condition of the liver and other organs deprivine the brain of blood necessary to keep up the normal balance of ac- tivity. When one Is tired or feels the dejected feeling coming on, relief can be obtained by lying on the floor with a pillow under the middle of the back and taking few long. deep breaths.
 If the arms are thrown over the head and dozen deep breaths are taken, a new spirit will come into the brain. Sometimes this is done auto matically, as when we throw up the arms and straighten up after crouch ed position at adesk.-Cincinnati Com mercial Tribune.

First Straw Hats.
EwerS.

The first hat of straw to be worn in the United States appeared in 1900. Straw had been used before to thatch houses, but not the heads of civilized citizens. It made comfortable bedding for cattle and was stuffed in sacks to increase the softness of the pine boards used by men and women to sleep on. But straw for the head? Never! It might do for the tropical savages, but not for the inhabitants of the great zone in which the progressive nations lived.
 Previous to 1900 men had worn felt and cloth hats. And 1t was not till the time of Elizabeth that men began to wear hats at all. in distinction from caps and bonnets. The blossoming of literature in the Elizabethan period was contemporary with the building of brims on head coverings and their transmogrification into hats.-Philadel, phia Ledger.

some That Get Along With Only One
 Meal or So Year.
 There are more than 5O,O00,OO0 square miles covered by depth of three miles of sea, but even at this great depth where the pressure of the water above would instantly crush a mans body to pulp-there is great world of life.
 Many of the fish and other creatures of the deep are blind.
 They are, however, able to see by means of the lights which they carry themselves.
 The "lamps" are little organs dotted over the body, and with the light from them. which is made in much the same marvellous way as the glow worms, they can use their bulging eyes to see what is going on about them.
 But even with the ready made light ing apparatus and telescope eyes 1t IS difficult business finding dinner. so the fish have jaws with an enormous gape and a stomach so elastic that they can accommodate q larger fish than these voracious eaters themselves.
 When they have made such a cap ture they retire for something like a years meditation to digest the meal. two or three of which are sufficient to last an average lifetime.-London An gWora

ELv|RA WILL HUNT
 FOR MISSING MEN
No News Received from Ike Vest berg and Jack Whalen and
 Search Will Be Made.

No news has been received from Ike Westberg and Jack Whalen, who left Valdez on October 15 for Ella mar, in the launch Sampson, and it is feared that they may be suffering on some of the small islands and un- able to help themselves.
 The launch Elvira returned from Ellamar yesterday afternoon and re- ported that no news had reached El- lamar concerning the men and con- tradicting the report that the In- dians had seen Whalen and Vest berg in Jacks bay.
 Capt. Elfstrom of the Elvira, prof fered his services to make search of the coast between Valdez and FL lamar on both sides of the bay, and left this morning to begin the hunt for the missing men. He is thor oughly familiar with every small bay between the Narrows and Ellamar, and stated that if he failed to locate the men he would also search the coast of Glacier and other islands, as it is believed that the Simpsons s power may have failed her and that she might be carried out of her course considerable distance before the men could guide her to shore.
 As an evidence of the manner in which Alaskans are always ready to help anyone believed to be in dis tress, immediately after Capt. Elf strom announced his intention of making the trip a number of miners circulated among their friends and raised $27 to pay for the gasoline used on the trip.

CASTLE OF DESP0ND.

st Got Its Dismal Name From a Tragedy
 Born of Love.
 One of the finest French renaissance buildings in France Is the Castle of Despond, famous in the legendary lore of the Toulousian country in which it stands. Over the window of one of the inner courtyards is sculptured in the stone head above the motto. "Plus d'Espoir." These were the last words of Rose de Martial, whose story has been sung by the poets of Tou- bouse.
 Rose de Martial was the daughter of the house of Martial, to whom the cas- tie belonged, and she was courted by the lord of Castelnat, whose manor she could see from her window. But, al- though she was beautiful and tender hearted, the lord tilted her, and she fell into melancholy. She sat every day by the window. whence she could see the fickle lord of Castelnat's manor.
 One morning he passed by in the valley below. She sang to him, but he never looked up. Plus d'Espoir!" she cried and threw herself out of the window on to the flags below, where she was killed. The manor of Martial was known thenceforward as the Cas- tie of Despond.
 The fine building was falling to ruins when M. Fenaille bought it, and he had it completely and skillfully restor- ed before making gift of it to the na- tiOn.

Curious Effects of Tea and Coffee.

Curious Effects of Tea and Coffee.
 A condition resembling true color blindness sometimes follows the excess sive use of coffee. It is probable that tea also will produce this condition. since both contain the same active principle, although cases of tea color blindness are comparatively rare. It has been observed, however that both tea and coffee may affect the eyesight and even cause actual blindness. Such blindness Is not usually complete, or permanent, and if the use of the harm ful beverage Is discontinued, normal sight will gradually return.-Exchange.

HOW TO REMEMBER.

The old method of tieing a string
about a finger to recall to mind some
task to be done at a certain time has
been done away with.
The new way is to transfer a ring
from one finger to another. On the
unaccustomed finger the ring feels
natural, and does not cause annoy
ance, but on any other finger it
slightly irritates. This irritation con-
stantly will aid in recalling the task
to be done. Just try it once.
Another and more novel way is to
carry a colored ribbon in the coat
pocket.
Suppose, now, you are in your Of
flee. Your wife phones you to be
sure and bring home a certain thing.
Go to your coat hanging on the office
rack. take out the ribbon and lie 1t
tightly around a sleeve.
At night when you start to go
home your fist will jam itself against
the tied sleeve "Oh, yes" you will
say to yourself, there's that cough
syrup Molly told me to be sure and
bring home tonight" and off you go
at once to make the purchase.
A man who is nOtoriously known
to never forget to perform a mis-
sion requested by his wife" won his
reputation by use of the above two
methods Simply by transferring his
finger ring he has been known new

FROM THE PEOPLE
TIE MORROW COUNTY WE'LL.

Pendleton, ore. Oct IL, 1915.
Editor Of East Oregonian:
Last saturday went to see the new
artesiah well in Morrow eouhty ana
secured the facts in regard to It di.
rect from the driller himself-Mr. w.
D. Newton Of Lexington.
This well is located about the CEN
ter of section 26, township north,
range 26 east, on the ranch of Mr..
3, B. Rice, eleven miles from Lex
ington, at an elevation of 1900 feet
above sea level.
Ii is an eight inch hole, six hun
dred seven feet deep and flows three
hundred gallons a minute. The wa
ter is clear, soft and sparkling, with
a temperature Of sixty six degrees
Farenheit.
Mr. and Mrs. Newton came to Lex
ington three years ago. They have
spent many thousand dollars to secure
artesian water in the Banana Belt"
Of Morrow county Mrs. Newton also
investing her private fortune in the
enterprise. Now they are justly
proud Of the results finally accom-
plished in spite of misfortunes and
opposition, and the people of Morrow
county are proud of the Newlons.
Mr. and Mrs. Newton believe that
many more artesian wells will soon be
pouring their beneficent water over
the arid lands of the Banana Belt"
where the nearly level surface and
eleven to eight feet of fertile soil
need only water to make this one of
the very best agricultural and horti-
cultural sections OF the state.
This belt lies between the sand
desert on the north and the foot hills
on the south. Mr. Newton says that
sooner or later one hundred thous.
and acres of this land will be irrigst,
ed from ar,sesiaR wells,
This we'll IL truly a gushef Auto
loads of people are coming constant
ly, especially on Sundays. from Hepp
