Lock Canada

The Egyptians had canals before The
days Of St Paul but the lock canal
which made it possible to cross noun
tains tn boat came only q few years
before Columbus discovered America
To be told that Raphael in hts spare
moments when not painting Raphael
was constructing 4 locomotive would
scarcely surprise you more than to be
told that Leonardo da vlnci was a
pioneer canal lock builder.
But the hand that put upon the walls
Of that historic church tn Milan "The
Last Supper" also designed the locks
for Milan's canal
That was just five years before an
other Italian from the nearby town of
Genoa sailing a Spanish ship came to
anchor at San Salvador. Before the
Ack system was born canals had to be
on level ground, although in China
they had them on slight inclines-

Devil Worship In Tibit.

The religion inculcated by Buddha
had certain cardinal points-the en-
enlargement of the ascetic life, the
maintenance of virtue the exhortation
to persons of all castles and both sexes
to aim at deliverance from the evils OF
existence and. lastly. the attainment OF
Nirvana.
But in Tibet Buddhism has been
grated on TO the earlier devil worship
Of the people. and religion has been
evolved better expressed as Lamaism
or modified devil worship, so that In
addition to the Buddhas and Bodisats
there have also come to be tutelary
and guardian deities Of terrifying
and malignant aspect. whose duty it is
to defend the faith and the faithful
people from external attack. These
deities are depicted in grotesque and
terrible forms in all the monasteries
generally In violently colored fresct
paintings at the entrance - National

Care With Mushrooms

Mushrooms. on account Of the amount
of nitrogen they contain, approach
nearer to animal food than many other
vegetable products. An analysis shows
that mushrooms contain 3.5 per cent
proteids. boiled potatoes 2.5 and onions
1.6. Experts say that mushrooms
should be eaten perfectly fresh and
never eaten after being warmed over.
