self and gave the other, Olympias, to
Philip II Of Macedon. Olympias lives
in history as the mother Of Alexander
the Great. From Alexander's aunt de-
scended Pyrrhus, who waged long
war with Rome in behalf of the Taren-
tines and who made Epirus power in
world politics for short time. More
than $50 years after the death Of
Pyfrhus, Epirus again came in con-
f1ict with Rome as the ally Of Perseus,
the Macedonian who mounted throne
over the body of his murdered broth
er Demetrius. The Romans under
Aemilius Paulus annihilated the forces
Of Perseus at Pydna (16S B. CO., and
took the defeated king III triumph to
the capital. The punishment meted
out to Epirus for it's share in the war
was the destruction of "a of its prin-
cipal cities and the enslavement of
10000 Of it's people-a blow from
which the kingdom never recovered.
With the partition Of the Roman en-
pire Epirus was given to the eastern
emperors. When the Latins took Con-
stantinople in 1904 it became a posses
sion Of Michel Angelus Comnenus. In
succeeding centuries the territory has
been variously governed and misgov-
erned by Albanians, Venetians and
Turks.
Five Famous Rivers.
AT Lackmon, in the mountains OF
Pindarus, five illustrious rivers are
born: the Aspro-P Potamo, the ancient
Acheloos, greedy for sacrifices, which
separates Aetolia from Acarnania and
empties into the Ionian sea the Pc
neus, which passes all through Thes-
sally; the Hallakmon, which flows by
Macedonia; the Arachtos, which paral-
lels the Pindus, and the great Aous,
with it's high banks. There are wood
ed dells and mountain forests-an so
wild and inspiring as to really have
made the proper setting for the up
building of the great primitive myths
of Greece, which could not have grown
up anywhere else.
But the real treasures of the early
days of Epirus are for the most part
still held by the faithful earth. In

An Oklahoma young man devoted to
the material affairs Of life, separated
himself from business to attend q re-
ception one evening, in the course Of
which he was introduced to a pretty
girl, felt the sting of admiration and
set out to do his best for a ia 7Orable
impression.
"T scarcely have a moment to play
or read" said he, "nor to apply my
self to the study of certain Interesting
problems. For instance, am utterly
ignorant as to how the incandeseent
light is produced"
"Why, that is very simple" the girl

which Zeus was supposed to reside,
but q local legend says that the first
message was delivered by dove speak
ing from the tree with a human voice.
At any rate, the priestesses of the ora
Gle were called Peleaides (doves).
Herodotus reports that while on WIS.,
it to Egyptian Thebes he learned that
the oracle had been founded by an
Egyptian princess who had been spir-
tied away by Phoenicians.
AS the rivalry between the oracle of
Zeus at Dodona and that of Apollo
at Delphi grew more keen the
priestesses Of the former invented new
methods Of receiving messages, among
these being the Interpretation of the
murmur of a bubbling fountain near
the oak tree, the sound Of the wind
rushing through the brazen cauldrons
(which stood in a circle near the tenn
Die, and the sounds made by metal
tipped whip as the wind drove it
against bronze tripod. Many Athen-
ians, Spartans and eastern potentates
consulted the oracle and it is said
that Croesus, the last king Of Lydia,
also consulted Dodona as to whether
he should attempt campaign against
CYRUS, king of the Persians. Unhap-
piIy the famous 'rich man" acted
upon the advice of the Delphic oracle
which told him that "he would destroy
a great kingdom" And the prediction
of the oracle was verified, but the
kingdom which he destroyed was his
-.Own.
The Hellenes founded many colonies
on the Epiran shore and these served
as stepping stones to dominion over
the Adriatic. The wealthiest of the
ancient cities was Phoenice, which be-
came the head Of an Epirotic league

The Molossians, most powerful and

part of the world after the fall of
Troy.

mountains Of Epirus, if one
may believe not only what
Aristotle says but what mod
ern investigations prove. It was this
ancient philosopher who asserted that
in Epirus dwelt the first Greeks, aft
erward called the Hellenes, and some
French and Greek explorers have un-
covered there the remains of the old
est oracle, the earliest temple and
theater.
The Epilus district, without respect
z to it's modern boundaries-Greek, and
Albanian--is described in a bulletin
Issued by the National Geographic So
cfety.
In ancient times the name Epirus
,(mainlanD was given to an extensive
area of northwestern Greece to dis
tinguish it from the islands of the
Eonian sea, which form fringe to the
Fwest. It extended from an indefinite
northern boundary, somewhere in the
southern part Of the territory now en-
braced in the infant principality of
Albania, to the Corinthian gulf, and
although the Athenians, Corinthians
and Spartans were wont to look upon
the Inhabitants of the district as semi
barbarous, no less an authority than
Aristotle gave it as the original home
of the Hellenes.
Owing to it's extremely mountainous
character, Epirus has never been a
great grain-producing section, but
from ancient times up to the present
it has been famous for it's fine cattle
and horses, also for peculiar breed
of dogs, the Molossian. In the east
ern part of the district towers Mount
Lacmon, the backbone of the Pindus
range, on which rise three Of the great
rivers of northwestern Greece.
Famed Oracle of Ancients.
Epirus became world-renowned even
before historic times on account of the
great oracle Of Dodona, the ruins Of
! whose temples were discovered dur
ing the last half of the nineteenth
century only few miles southwest Of
the modern Macedonian town Of Jani-
ma. The messages from the gods were
received at Dodona through. the rus
