So the bandages had TO be removed

to be fairly we'll united but by no
means safe. However the python cell
ebrated his skim shedding by devour-

But doing it was a task. The first
essential was that the giant reptile, as
strong as an OK, should retire to his
tank where he spends so much time
coiled round and round in huge folds.
Then the six heftiest keepers were
hidden to arm themselves each with a
stout board and crawl into the reptiles

The boards were slid swiftly over the

Earliest School Books.

Among the discoveries in the archaeo-
logical excavations in ancient Baby.
lonia are some stone tablets believed
to have been used as schoolbooks In
the first regular school ever held in
the world. They are in the collection
of the University Of Pennsylvania.
These prehistoric text books have
marks proving that they were used in
school conducted in temple in Nip
pur more than 1900 years B. @. This
school is known to have been in ex-
istence at least 1000 years. and no
records have yet been found to indi-
cate the existence of any preceding it
The tablets contain notes upon several
sciences, evidently made upon the
stone surface by stylus. Several Of
them contain two forms of characters,
indicating that the pupils attempted
to copy the work of the teacher.

The Arta of Asia.

It was Asia, through Arabia, which
gave Europe the literature. the arts
and the sciences which we have devel-
oped and of which we now boast. Gun
powder was probably invented in
China. 1t was certainly introduced into
Europe from Arabia. The finely tenn
pered steel of Damascus went over
from Arabia at the time of the Moorish
invasion of Spain, and its manufacture
was continued at Toledo. The copper
smiths Of Bagdad supplied the worlds
market with their wonderful produc-
lions centuries before there were any
Industries in Europe. Weaving Of silk
and cotton had its birth as an industry
in Arabia. and the weaving of wool
was learned by the crusaders In the
same wonderful country Astronomy,
mathematics. the mariners compass
all came to us from the Arabs.

CHOOSING UPWARD.
Consider Well Before You Open One o,
ThaaA Doors.

Consider Well Before You Open One OF
These Doors.
'.All the beauty and wonder Of life
lie In the choice we make and all the
tragedy too"
Every moment of our lives some
choice confronts us, and we are called
upon to use our judgment, our expert
ence, our faith. our self confidence. in
making our decision.
Going through life is like travelling
down long corridor which constantly
presents closed doors on either side
alternate doors-one of which we must
open and pass through, irrevOcably. We
cannot make use of both doors. nor can
we retrace our steps. nor even recon
slider our choice, once the latch has
been lifted. We must abide by our de-
cision. There are no exchanges. We
must do our considering before we
choose. not after. And the choice once
made, whether for good or i'll, for bet
ter or worse, we must pay the full
price.
This is well expressed by an old Per
sian proverb: " Take what you will,
said the gods to mortals. but pay for
it," This world is like great balance
sheet, and the man has not been born
who has found a way to tamper with
the totals or to get around God. Life
holds US inexorably to our accounting
and carries out the final reckoning to
the uttermost farthing. From the Nau-

Air Like Harrows.
The one unmistakable improvement
which has been adopted for a@roplanes
Is boatlike body in which the aviator
SITS. No longer does he perch ION the
lower wing of biplane and watch the
earth drift back between his legs. The
LOat body was adopted not to spare his
emotions or shield his body from the
wind, but to enable the machine to
pEow on with the least possible dis
turbance of the air. Each plane. each
strut, each projection, leaves a wake of
its own. A single wake, which marks
the easy flowing together of air behind
a single body, is better. The modern
aerOplane approaches this ideal; the
old machine raked the air like har-.
row.
That change in form we owe to the
scientist and his laboratory. He meas
ured the resisting effect of wires VI
brating in the wind, of braces. of fuel
tanks, Of radiators and of human legs
and arms He found that the sum total
was enormous. TIE aeroplane builder
was compelled to abandon his cherished
idea that to obtain speed as little sur.
face and bulk as possible should be ex-
posed He has learned from the scien-
list that large correctly designed bulk
inclosing passengers, engines, steering
wheels and tanks slips through the air
more easily than an aggregation of
small irregular shapes widely scattered.
