Early Use of Metals.

AS compared with Mexico, the tools
employed by the ancient Easter island
ers, though like in shape, are yet more
wonderful when the purpose for which
they We're used is considered. 1t is
believed that the use of iron was I'M
known to the more ancient people of
the earth; certainly few traces are
found. But among the MeXicans there
is evidence of red copper having been
fashioned into tools; and although that
is wonderful enough when the usage is
seen to which the comparatively soft
metal was put, yet still more marvel
Gus are the tools of volcanic glass
which wrought, carved, cut and CHS
eled the huge images and blocks Of
stone to bedound ON Easter island. Re
mains OF these tools are yet to be found
lying about the island quarries.

SOME OF THE INNS OF COURT
Gray's Produced Fewer Great Lawyers
but Can Guido Rivals in Associa-
ton With Influential Men.

Gray's inn. where the prime minister
and the heads of the air service take
n snack together in the evening, comes
down to us through the Grays of VII
ton, whose home or inn 1t anclently
was, from the bishop and canons of st.
Paul's cathedral. The inn itself bear
ing the family name. formed part Of
the Hundred OF OssulstOne, and the
whole was included in a yet larger
property, states writer in the London
Chronicle. How st. Paurs itself be-
came possessed of the estate is not
clear, but II is believed that II was at
one time the personal property Of one
of the canons, who. 1t was enacted,
might give and sell their lands with
out leave.
Gray's inn has produced fewer great
lawyers than some of the other inns
of court, but 1t can Guido its rivals in
association with men who have vitality
influenced the life of the nation
Thomas Cromwell, for instance, who
suppressed the monasteries; Lord
Burghley, chief counselor Of Queen
Elizabeth, and George Monck, duke of
Albemarle, who practically restored the
monarchy. But the inns chief glory,
Of course. is with the Bacons, Nicholas
and his far greater son, Francis, whose
mark remains till this day on the inn
gardens.

BY THE DOOR CALLED JOHN

A few weeks ago the Youths Com

who belonged to "the worlds people,"
somehow extracted a proposal from
Joseph--or dispensed with one-and
married him. After several years Of

local tradition, spoke thus:

Use of Cement.

Cement was first put on the market
In England. 1t was still being import
ed into this country in 1875. 1t was at
this time that the use of Portland 60
ment In the United States came into
commercial prominence. When the
product was first placed on the mar
ket in competition with that which was
being imported from England and Ger
many, a good price was demanded.
However. production In excess of de
mand soon resulted and 1t proved big
factor In the price cutting that fol-
lowed.

REALLY MORE THAN NEEDED
Younester Asked God to Send Nioe
Cool Rain and DeIuoe Flooded
Fields of the Southwest.

We were living in the Southwest
For weeks and months We had no
rain, relates writer in the Country
Gentleman. Every day big. promising
looking clouds rolled up. broke apart
and drifted away. Streams were dried
up, vegetation was burning up and life
was well-nigh unbearable to man and
beast. From Il to 10 inches OF sand
and dust covered the highways; gnats
made life hideous; heat parched our
skin and threats. Rain was the only
relief, and rain we did not get. Every
night at bedtime fOur-year-Old Robert
on Bonded knees by his little white bed
asked God: please don't forget to
send nice, cool rain.
One day the big, black clouds rolled
mp as usual. but we noticed that they
were all fringed with green. Pretty
small houses and barns, broke down
trees, scattered chickens. ducks. straw
and haystacks all over the country. A
big hail followed the wind. and then
came rama perfect deluge! Streams
rose clear out of their banks and the
water came creeping over the fields
and toward the houses and cattle
pens; pretty soon It had flooded the
yard and was nearly to the door.
Small Robert took survey OF tho
situation. and then in a small fright
ened voice said: Daddy. don't blame
It all on me. God had ought TO knowed
a small kid Ike me didn't need such
awful big rain"

The early Peruvians used clubs and
war-hatchets in battle; also sings, for
throwing stones. Skull-fractures must
often have resulted. But apparently
they trephined also for brain troubles,
and possibly for other diseases, notes
medical authority. The surgeon of
ancient Peru held the head of his pa
tient between his knees. and with
sharp flint sawed out the button Of
bone-an agonizing process. surely.
Sometimes he filled the hole with
button of silver, or Of mollusk-shell,
but more often he was content to cover
It simply with the flap Of scalp.

ONLY SECURITY FOR A WIFE
Birth Of Children Guaranteed Inde-
pendence to the Woman Under the
Code Of Hammurabi.

In Babylon, under the code of Ham,
murabi, 2210 p. c., the birth Of chill
dren furnished the only financial Sc
curity for wife. A man might sepa-
rate from q wife at will and marry
another but II she had borne him chill
dren he must give back to that wom-
an her dowry, the usufruct of the field,
garden and property, during the minor
ity Of her children and thereafter she
was entitled to a share equal to that
Of a son of all that has been given to
her children. She may marry the man
of her choice"
Under the primitive laws of the Ka-
frs Of South Africa similar provision
Is made, according to writer. A con-
siderable payment is made by the hus-
band to the male relatives of the wom-
an at the time Of marriage. In legal
theory this amount Is the property Of
the woman and her children, the rela-
tives receiving 1t as trustees for her
benefit. Here, too, a man may divorce
his wife ut will and may demand back
his dowry If there have been no chill
dren born of the marriage, but his
claim upon 1t passes ur0n the birth Of
children. Obviously, where the status
of the wife is entirely subject to the
will of the husband and where the
woman has an enforcible claim against
this property while it remains in the
hands Of her relatives, the birth of
children furnishes the only assurance
of security and independence for the
wife,

Europe's Worst Famine.

The famine of 1911 extended over
one-third Of the area of the empire in
Europe and affected more or less di-
rectly 30NO,000 people, while 100000
were reduced to starvation. Weeds,
made from acOrns. constituted the chief
diet for the destitute. This was the
most widespread and most severe
famine which has befallen European
nation In modern times.

London. Sept. 12.-The Daily Eek
press claims to have unquestionable
information that the former Empress
OF Russia and her four daughters

The paper prints the following:
1.-The Express understands from a
source which is beyond doubt that the
Empress of Russia and her four
daughters have been murdered by
Bolsheviki. The whole family of the
late Car has thus been exterminated.
1T is further understood that the
Dowager Empress, who with her

For full fortnight the fight con

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 13.-That the
Shiny trail of the Leo M. Frank case
will not again be dragged into Geor-
gia political campaign is generally &C
kcepted as settled proposition in
political circles here. The case was
bad enough while it lasted. The peo'
pie are evidently in frame OF mind
to put II out of their recollection.
Certainly 1t is clear that they want
none of 1t mixed with their politics.

prison commission and chairman Of
that body when the same is acting In
its other capacity as highway com
mission voted to commute the SEN
tence of Frank from death to life i'm
prisonment. He was opposed in the

who ran two years ago against M. l..
