made his visit to the Internal regions,
while the use Of the umbrella in
Greece during the days of Pisistratus
and by Rome under the consulate and
empire is attested by such writer's as
Pausanius Aristphanes. Aristotle,
Plutarch, Ovid Martial and Juvenal.
The Roman umbrella, made of skin
and leather, and stretched ON rods,
could be lowered when not in use, the
| honor Of bearing it over the owner
being reserved to the favorite slave
or servant.
The use of the parasol or sunshade
first carried by the priestesses of
Athena at her festivals, began in
Italy and France and England early
in the seventeenth century, being in
troduced into these centuries prob
ably from China by Jesuit mission
| aries.
The story Of the introduction Of the
umbrella into England as a protec-
ton against rain is not one OF the
| least interesting features Of its his
tory. Jonas Hanway, famous as a
philanthropist. and founder OF the
Magdalen hospital, who in his earlier
years had travelled into the far cor
ners Of the east on an investigation
of trade conditions, had brought back
with him a huge umbrella Of the kind
commonly used by Persian poten
tates.
| For some time had he kept secret
the possession of this prize, not dar
ing to brave public opinion by It's
use, private view being reserved fol
his friends.
But at last one windy, rainy day ir

a protection from the shower Of mai

The History
of Umbrellas

The antiquity of our old and much
loved friend, the umbrella, is beyond
dispute. The Chinese, who are never
so happy as when juggling with
groups Of centuries, date the ap-
pearance of the first umbrella back
to four or five thousand years before
the Mosaic date of the creation OF the
world.
Sanscript poets carry many allu-
sions to its value as a protector OF
the bare headed. In the Chaldaic
scriptures of Nineveh we are told that
the umbrella as an emblem of royalty
adopted by eastern nations was gen
erally carried over the king in time
of peace and sometimes even in war.
It was with an umbrella borne over
his head that Vishnu Is said to have

Don't Know Real Cause.
Happened Before Noon.


Officials of the Keokuk Electric
conpany are in the dark as to the
reaJ cause of the accident that cost
two lives and endangered many 9TH
ers. Mr.. Ainsley was at the gas
nIant at $50 o'clock this morning
and at that time everything was all
right.
No one is supposed to work In the
purifying room. No accident mao
ever happened there in the past. IL
is in this place that the gas passes
through certain substances tha'
takes the impurities out OF it.
Company officials believe tha'
something went wrong in the room
