WHERE TURTLES COME FROM
nual Pilgrimage to Ascension Island to Lay Their Eggs.

The city fathers are not the only people who have the privilege of eating turtle soup, observes London Answers The lords of the admiralty could, if they liked, make a monopoly of the real article. for they hold sway over II. NJ $. Ascension-which Is not ship at all, but an lsland-where the turtles come from.
 Ascension island is very lonely spot Its nearest neighbor is St. Helena, 800 miles away. Ascension is half the size of the Isle of Wight. and has population of 120-or. rather, "crew," for the people are almost entirely naval who live at the garrison station of Georgetown The law of the island is the word of the commanding officer.
 Ascension is mainly noted for the an- nual visit of huge sea turtles. They come in thousands to lay their eggs in the warm sand. It is probable they have come for tens of thousands of years. Some of them weigh as much as TOO pounds Every time they come the inhabitants of Ascension take toll of them, storing them in fensed pens. and eventually killing them for food. whilst a few of them are invariably sent to the lords of the admiralty as a present from Ascension, u present which is greatly appreciated.

BASED ON ANCIENT CUSTOM
Superstition Regarding Seeing the New Moon Through Glass Is Older
 Than Christianity.

Don't see the new moon through glass;" thousands of people are just now saying The superstition is based on a custom older than Christianity. and enduring in places. travellers may tell us. to this day. says the London Chronicle The Jews had no real cal endar. but depended for the inaugura- ton of the feasts of trumpets, which began with the advent of the new moon, upon actual observance of the crescent. Jews watched, with reward in view. for the coming of the new moon. as our sailors watch for the ap- pearance of a periscope. Inlmediately they saw it they hied them to the high priest at Jerusalem. They were per mitted to travel even on the Sabbath for the purpose. Now the testimony must be not only that of men of repu- tation: 1t must be that of men who had seen the phenomenon with the naked eye. The appearance of the moon must not be noted as reflected in 8 stream. nor through clouds. nor through glass That yltiated the value of testimony and precluded possibility of reward. Travellers from the East. possibly Cru saders, brought the story to the West, where 1t remains "unlucky" to see the new moon through glass

Tents Before Huts.
saSsSszsSSsSsssssSs s sssaSssaSsSsss 2 2 2 ,; 2 2

The scriptures make us more famil- lar with tents than with huts. They were invented before the deluge and appear from the first to have been as- sociated with the pastoral life to which a movable habitation was necessary. The patriarehal fathers of the Israel ites were dwellers In tents, and their descendants proceeded at once from tents to houses. We find the same true with the Assyrians. The nrst tents were undoubtedly covered with skins. of which there are traces in the Pentateuch. but nearly all the tents mentioned In the Bible were doubtless of goats hair, spun and woven by the women, such as arc BOW In western Asia, used by ail who dwell in tents. Tents of linen were. and still are, only used occasionally for holiday or tras cling purposes by those who d@ not labituaiIy live Ii theua.

do you think, Mr.: Shaw, that the

by the allies as to their terms of peace
should be considered seriously by Eng
land, France, Russia and Italy or
merely brushed aside as an insincere
diplomatic move on the part Of the

"What are we coming to that it
should be possible to ask such a ques-
tion?" exclaimed Shaw emphatically.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1917-01-18

10 take the proposals with anything
short of the deepest seriousness would
be an exhibition Of frivolity, in the face
of horrible calamity, which could
only be characterized as revolving
blackguardism. 1t would put us in
position of ineXcusable moral inferior

''Then do you think the allies ought
to discuss peace? If so what terms

"Of course they ought to discuss
peace" was Shaw's response. Gin
every war peace should be continually
discussed from the very beginning un-
til it is actually achieved. AS to terms,
they should offer and demand the best
terms they think they can get. But

for their reigning dynasties, according
to the ideas and ambitions Of kings
