EXPLAINING GODS OF EGYPT
Prof. Flinders Petrle Has Thrown
Much Light on Sources of Myth
ology OF Ancient Land.

The question of the character and
origin of the local gods of Egypt is
still obscure; but paper by Prof.
Flinders Petrie, published in Ancient
Egypt" part 3, 1877, does much to
clear 1t up. Professor Petrie collected
the original records of these cults, and
by marking the headquarters of each
deity he arrived at important results.
Ra appears in only one southern city,
and his cult seems to have come from
the northeast. The distribution Of
Nut, the mother-goddess, is decidedly
eastern, while that of Amen is west
crn. Set was certainly brought into
Egypt by the desert road. as he had
there two centers of the first class, and
he was introduced by the Red sea way
to the eastern delta.
The distribution of the Osiride triad
indicates a settlement so early in the
land that the worship was generally
diffused. Professor Petrie sums up
his article thus: 1.-THE geography of
the worship of the gods is thus seen
to have a considerable value histOri-
cally, as bearing on their origin and
connections. When more complete re-
search into the localities of various
uncertain names may extend our iden-
tiflcations, 1t will be possible to get
more light on the sources of Egyptian
neutrality-suspicious..

Chinese Exports of Human Hair.

Since the abolition of the queue af-
ter the fall of the Manchu dynasty
long pigtails of Chinese hair are no
longer readily available. The dealers
are relying more and more on the
combingS of women, although there
are men who make it a part Of their
business to let their hair grow TO about
eight inches in length and then sell
ii to the barber, who in turn sells TO
the small trade In hair. For exporting,
hair is assorted according to length and
tied In punches. Most Of the exports
go to England, France and the United
States, where the hair is bleached with
peroxide, thinned with acid and boiled
in dye. 1t is thus rendered finer In
texture and, incidentally, absolutely
sanitary. The appearance of the hair
is also completely changed.

NO-MARINE-BOOZE
CASE FALLS DOWN.
Police Make Arrest But Prose
cutting Witness Fails To
Back Up His Story.

Somethin gof flare back" was ne
countered by the City Police last
night and this morning in their efforts
to break up in Annapolis the sale of
liquor TO men in the uniform of the
United States service The first act
in the affair was when Private ]. p.
Kane, of the Marine Corps, somewhat
under the influence of liquor, ap-
preached Patrolman John Jacobs, and
gave information against the saloon of
Walter Howard on Market Space.
Kane announced that he had just
been sold a bottle of liquor in the
Howard place. Patrolman Jacobs
went with him to the saloon where an
identification was made and Mr.. How
ard was taken into custody. Kane
was taken to the Naval Academy and
turned over to the authorities there
with the request that he be produced
as a witness this morning.
Great was the surprise of the civil
authorities when the marine showed
up this morning and refused to sub
stantiate his story of last night He
frankly admitted that he had been a
bit muddled and did not remember
any of the circumstances he had been
so positive about last night. Ae a re-
suit the authorities were forced to
drop the case.

Where Civilization Started.

The lacustral settlements were
places of refuge for a pastoral and
agricultural people and the light and
dryness that characterized the dwell
ings show a step in advance toward
more permanent abodes. In this pc
Rod science places the beginning Of
civilization.
BY these lacustrine men spinning
and weaving were invented. Agricul-
ture was born among them; animals
were domesticated-the OK. the COW,
the sheep, the goat. the dog. The
uses Of metal were discovered and the
age Of iron was ushered in.
Habitations similar to these stil ex-
fist in the East Indies and among the
American tribes of Maracaibo. They
existed also in Lake Prasias, in
Thrace, during the time Of Herodotus,
the Greek historian.

COUNTY FARM
ORGANIZATION NEEDED.
United States Department Of
Agriculture Recommends
T6;c

In the campaign to make the 1918
food production in the Southern
States sufficient to feed the South, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture recommends that cooperation
among farmers and among farmers
organizations and business men be
stimulated
In every county where there is no
organization, the department says,
the people should be urged to perfect
a representative county body for ag-
ricultural purposes. This county or
ganization should consist If possible,
of representatives from community
organizations and should meet regu-
larry with the county agent, and def
nitely work with him in the interest
of general food production and con
servation. They should under the
leadership of the county agent and
through the county and community
organizations in the effort to maintain
production, to preserve the interests
of farmers, and to safeguard seeds,
breeding stock, etc.
The department says it is a patri-
otto necessity that financing of farm
ers, especially definite financing for
food production, should be done at the
lowest possible rate Of interest.

HUmORIST HAD LAST LAuCA
How Mark Twain Turned Joke on vi
emma Authorities Will Be New
Story to Many.

The letters of Mark Twain record
but little concerning the years he
spent in the Austrian capital, the
Christian Science Monitor observes.
The humOrist did some special writing
for American papers during those
"Wanderjahre." Indeed, the Vienna
journalists took him TO their hearts as
"a colleague of a particularly genial
type and often invited him to
friendly spread" at which the guests
were members Of the Austrian fourth
estate. The story Of how he got into
trouble with the authorities, through
the indiscretions of a Vienna journal
list, has probably never been published.
AS the tale goes, a certain reporter,
either In a facetious or Il vindictive
moment, gave out that Mark Twain had
been seen suspiciOusly lettering about
the bridge which spans the Danube
canal near the Ring strasse, and not
far from the Hotel MetropOle, at which
the Clemenses lived. Mark could not
let this reflection upon his character
go unchallenged. He FASTENED to eX-
plain-to apologize, in fact, for having
given the authorities the slightest
anxiety about him.
The explanation was thoroughly
Twainlike. He had found by the
bridge the longest German word he
had ever seen and, In order to compre-
bend it in all its longitude and lat-
tude, he had pinned one end of 1t to
the bridge with the idea of unfolding
i'll Bearing his precious burden with
him, he came to the opposite end of the
bridge, only, alas. to find that he still
had yards to sparel The apology was
accented with many a broad grin.
