Nations Warning In MesopotamIa
Employ the "keIel" on the TlerIs
and Euphratss.

An kinds Of ships. Of war and Of
commerce have been pressed into
service In the great European conflict.
There are oversee bQets, whitewater
boats and under-sea boats: there are
superdreadnaughts, battle cruisers and
disguised commerce raiders; there are
great ocean greyhounds that yester.
day were floating palaces of the ocean,
carrying the wealth and beauty Of
civilization on their migrations across
the sea, but that today are grim
Ravens Of suffering, where the wall of
pain and the shrek of anguish have
substituted the carnival of music and
the sound Of firth.
But strangest of all the kinds Of
floating equipment that the war has
drafted into service is the kelek. De-
scribing this strange boat, the Ma
tional Geographic society says:
THE kelek is probably one Of the
earliest forms of water transportation
used by our ancestors in Asia. It con-

tied beneath q framework Of light
poles. Often as many as eight hum
dred such skins are used 20 give the
boat the desired buoyancy.
The cargo is loaded on to the kelek
Just as though it were flas-bottomed
barge, after which The craft begins its
journey down the Tigris or the
Euphrates propelled or guided by oars.
When it reaches its journeys end it Is
broken up and sold as skins and tim
Der.
THE two great rivers of Mesopo-
tamia are very crooked and very fr-
regular in their depths. The air line
distance between Diarbekir and Bag
dad is 400 miles. while the water
route via the Tigris is about 1000
miles. At many places the river Is
deep enough } accommodate boats of
considerable draft. but at others 1t is
SO shallow that q man has difficulty
In swimming. But even over shadows,
where a man cannot go as swimmer,
a well-laden kelek will float without
accident.
For thousands of years this buoy
ant boat has helped the people Of
Mesopotamia to move their commerce
over the shoals and shadows Of two
of the earth's modest rivers. and
has now come to rlay its small part
in the greatest war Of human history"

very extraordinary discovery was
made. In this wall, all around
the structure, are cells about six
feet high and wide, all exactly
alike. without any ornament or
decoration They had doors, probably
made Of wood, with a single leaf; one
can see the holes where they turned.
What was still more surprising il
that they do not open on to floor.
but on to narrow ledge which ran
on both sides of the nave. There was
no floor in those aisles; under the
ledge, which Is slightly projecting, the
beautiful masonry goes on, and at o
depth of twelve feet water was
reached. It Is at the level of the in
filtration water in the cultivated land,
though the structure IL in the desert.
Thus the two aisles and the two ends
of the middle nave form a continuous
rectangular pool. the sides Of which
are very fine masonry Of large blocks.
Tomb Of Osiris.
The tomb of Osiris IL of later date
than the pool with its cells. It dates
from the time of Seti l, the grand
father of Menephtah. who probably
made 1t when he built his temple. As
for the pool. 1t is probably one Of the
most ancient constructions which have
been preserved in Egypt. It is ex-
actly in the style Of the so-called tenn.
pie Of the Sphinx, which Is q work Of
the Fourteenth dynasty, and one of
the Characteristic features of which
is the total absence of any inscription
or ornament. But the pool is even
more colossal. In the temple of the
Sphinx the pillars are four feet
square; here they are eight and one
half. It is impossible, in spite Of the
havoc made. especially in the southern
aisle, not to be struck by the majes-
tic simplicity Of the structure, chiefly
in the corner where the ceiling has re-
manned. Besides. this construction Of
q character quite unknown at present
raises many questions which further
excavations will, perhaps. solve. Was
the pool In connection with the wor-
ship Of Osiris? Did the sacred boat
of the god float on the water? Since
the boats of the gods are always
towed with ropes, the ledge on both
sides would be very appropriate path
for the priests who did 1t.
Az for the water itself, II must have
been stored for some purpose. The
enormous ceilings must have been
made in order to prevent evaporation.
Is It to be imagined that the old Egyp-
tians made such an enormous construc.
ton merely for innltration waterf
There is no doubt that 1t Is what IN
called Strabo's well. which he de-
scribes as being below the temple,
and like the Labyrinth at Havana,
but on smaller proportions, and with
passages covered by big monoliths.
Was there q canal coming from the
Nile, a. the Greek geographer saysf
or was the pool filled by the subter-
ranean sheet Of water which flows un-
der the desert, the so-called under.
ground Nile which il now being
studied closely by the hydraulic engi-
neers of Egypt? These are few ques-
lions which arise from this discovery.

PLAYS TWO GAMES
ON JANUARY JAUNT

According to Faculty Manager
Charles Towle, the Richmond high
school basketball team in its annual
cross state trip the latter part O: Jah'
uary, will play only two games,
Waynetown at WaynetOwn. January
26, and New Richmond at New Rich
mond the following day. The Leb-
anon and Brazil contests which had
been pending have been definitely
given up.
Manager Towle explained that a
four game trip would necessitate the
absence Of the basketball squad from
school for at least four or five days.
The high school authorities would
not consent to this he says.
News of the cancellation of the
Lebanon and Brazil contests means Il
keen disappointment to the basketball
squad. Last year the r. H. S. squad
made its trip during the Christmas
holidays. 1t was, however, impossible
to arrange the trip during Christmas
vacation this year.

PARKER MAY QUIT
SCHOOL TO ENTER
PURDUE IN SPRING

Russell "Bus" Parker, captain and
center of the Richmond high school
basketball team, may quit high school
at the close Of the present term the
latter part of this month. Parker will
have enough credits at the close OF
this term to insure his graduation in
June and therefore will not necessar-
lily hnish his regulation course OF four
years work.
Reduces Schools Chances
What this means to r. H. S. every
basketball fan interested in the school
team we'll knows. 1t means that Rich
mond will lose one of it's best players
and that the chances Of r. H. S. nm
ishing high in the state lists will be
greatly diminished.
Parker is planning to attend Purdue
University and may start there at the
opening of the spring term. Purdue
representatives visited Parker here
today and it is understood offered the
r. H. S. athlete inducements to join
the athletic colony of the state school.
Should Parker decide to quit r. Fl.
S. he will play his last game In the
Richmond uniform against New Castle
at New Castle, Jan. 20.
