him through the balance Of those fright
full marches.
The country began to change last,
and we wound UP out OF the level plain
through mighty mountains Of virgin gran
ite. The tropical verdure OF the lowlands
was replaced by harder vegetation, but
even here the effects of constant heat and
light were apparent in the lmmensity OF
the trees and the profuslon Of foliage.
Crystal streams roared through their
rocky channels, fed by the perpetual
snow, which we could see far above us.
Above the snow-capped heights hung
masses OF heavy clouds. 1t wac these,
Perry explained, which evidently served
the double purpose of replenlshing the
melting SHOWS and protecting them from
the direct rays of the ever-present sun.
BY this time we had picked UP smat-
tering of the bastard language In which
our guards addressed us, as well as maxi
ing good headway in the rather charming
tongue of our co-captives.
Directly ahead of me in the chain gang
was young woman. Three feet OF chain
linked us together in a forced companion
ship, which I, at least soon rejoiced In.

from her ! learned the language of her

of the inner world-at least of that part
of 1t with which she was familiar.
She told me that she wa called Dian

the tribe of Amoz. which dwell in the
cliffs above the Darel Az, or Shallow Sea-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
PIeurisy With Efusion

Second. What causes fluid to form on

Answer-Pleurisy is Inflammation of the

Invitations of various kinds are often
puzzling. Perhaps a little word on these
matters may be advantageous.
Most persons have cards printed for
dinners with spaces left for the name
and date of the function. which may be
filled in in writing. It is permissible to
send written invitations for small din
ners, but 1t Is far smarter to have the
engraved card. Invitations for Dances
formal teas and luncheons should also
be engraved, leaving a space for the
names, date and day.
The style of invitation differs with the
fashion just as clothes do, but the palmer
the script and the less conspicuous the
shape and style of the paper the better the
taste. A crest or monogram may be used.
Wedding invitations usually have two en-
velopes, the name and address written on
the outer one and the name alone on the
inner.

the tree-tops to their village. His cap
tors had been as inquisitive as to his
( strange clothing as had mine, with the
same result. AS we looked at each other
we could not help but laugh
with a tail, David" remarked Perry.
"you would make very handsome ape" "
"Maybe we can borrow couple" I
rejoined. "They seem to be quite the
thing this season. 1 wonder what the
creatures intend doing with u.s. Perry.
They don't seem really savage.
,"What do you suppose they can be?
You were about to tel me where we are
when that great hairy frigate bore down
upon us. Have you really any idea at
all?"
"Yes David" he replied "I know pre-
t csely where we are. We have made a
magnificent discovery, my boy. We have
proved that the earth Is hollow. We have
passed entirely through its crust to the
inner world"
Perry you are mad"
Not at all, David. For two hundred
and fifty miles our prospector bore us
through the crust beneath our outer
world. At that point 1t reached the CEN
tire Of gravity of the ve-hundred-mlle-
thick crust Up to that point we had
been observation-disclosures is, of course
merely relative.
"Then at the moment that our seats
revolved-which made you believe we
had turned about and were speeding up
ward-we passed the centre Of gravity
and though we did not alter the direc-
tion of our progress, yet we were in
reality moving upward-toward the sur
face of the inner world.
Does not this strange fauna and flora
which we have seen convince you that
you are not in the world of your birth?
And the horizon-could 1t present the
strange aspect which we both noted un-
less we were indeed standing upon the

But the sun, Perry!' I urged. How
in the world can the sun shine through
Ave hundred miles of solid crust?"
at Is not the sun of the outer world
that we see here. 1t Is another sun-an
entirely different sun-that casts its
eternal MONDAY effulgence upon the face
of the inner world.
Look at 1t now, David-if you can
see 1t from the doorway of this hut
and you will see that 1t is still in the
exact centre of the heavens. We have
been here for many hours-yet 1t Is still

WHY CHILDREN GO TO SLEEP

VIII CHILDREN GO III SLEEP
Once upon time there was a little
girl and her father used to tell her a
story every night. The little girls
name was Ethel. Now that we are
all properly introduced, let us start
our stories.
Daddy, tell me why little children
go to sleep and what wakes them up
in the morning?" said little Ethel, as
her father put out the light one night,
at is this way" said her Daddy;
"All day long Father Sun goes
through the sky getting more tired as
he gets toward the end of his journey.
AS he goes along he scatters fine
dust like you see behind automobiles
along the road. The Sandman gathers
this all up and mixes it with star
dust, so that it will not hurt little
children's eyes. Toward sundown he
begins to scatter this star dust from
out of the sky and it falls into the
eyes of children.
at comes from the dust that Father
Sun raised and is, therefore, full of
that sleepy feeling.
"When the Sandman leaves the sky
the Sun goes to bed and gets up early
in the morning to make the Sandman's
bed before he gets home. for he is
always tired.
'The Sandman goes to the little
girls and boys and sees if there is
enough tired powder in their eyes. If
not, he puts some star dust in their
eyes and then they want to go to bed
sure enough"
Hasn't the Sandman any wife?"
asked Ethel.
"Yes, indeed" said her father. "His
wife is the Rosy Fingered Dawn.
She comes every morning to all the
little boys and girls and opens their
eyelids to see if the tired powder and
the star dust are al gone. II there is
no more 10 the eyes she examines. she

Engagement Announcement

Dear Deborah Rush-when you gave
the formula for announcing an engage
ment last week, did you mean that cards
should be printed and sent out just like
wedding invitations? NJ. X. G.
The formula printed on February 21
was intended to answer a question as to
how to announce an engagement through
the papers. 1t is not good form to send
out printed cards making the announce
ment. 1t is usual to write personal let
ters to few frifends and to send to the
various papers the form as given, so that
the social world in general may know of
the engagement.

Our Colors

Our club is getting SO large that we
will have to divide the members up
and want to ask your advice. Please
remember this, your editor NEVER
wants to dictate to you, merely AD-
WISE you. Here is an idea: Let all
of our members z and under have
RED for their color. Orange is for
syears, yellow for 9 and green for 10,
while blue should be worn by those
who are II and indigo by those who
are IL and not over Ia. Violet stands
for those who are IA and over. When
we have our meetings our members
are liable to be confused, there are
30 many of them. We think this plan
q good one and want to ask YOU
about it., If we are to have thou
sand or two children together, it
would be a good idea to have all the
reds together and then the oranges
and so on, so that if (or WHEN)
we march we will form the colors Of
the rainbow, according to ages.
This is merely a suggestion. What
do YOU think about it?
