FOR THOSE IN HIGH PLACE:
Immense Cost of Imperial Porphyry
Put It Beyond Reach Of All But
the Very Rich.

All students of the sculpture and
architecture of the Imperial Roman
age are familiar with the magnificent
purple stone known as imperial por-
phyry, but it is probable that but
few of the students know of the i'm
mense difficulties that were encounter
ed in the procuring Of the stone sc
much esteemed in that age of luxury.
Weigall, who personally visited thu
region whence this stone emanated,
reached the conclusion that the great
distances between the quarries and
the places where the stone was used
must have given the price a boost
so that the porphyry was beyond all
except the rulers of the earth.
1t appears that the Quarries from
which this porphyry was obtained are
situated in the eastern Egyptian des-
ert that region known as Gebel Duk-
han, "The Hills of Smoke" The desert
is about 81 miles from the Red SEQ.
opposite the southern end of the PEN
insula of Sinai.
The uuarries extended here ano
there into the hillside without any re-
semblance of regularity. The blocks
of porphyry were pried from out of
the rock wherever the work could be
most easily done. They were trans
ported down the Nile. and, in fact
to Rome, in the rough. This purple
porphyry was not known to the an
cient Egyptians. Some Roman pros
pectors must have secured the desert
to find it. The barren coast of that re-
gion was harborless. Each block OF
porphyry must, therefore, have been
carried across the desert to Kench, on
the Nile, and thence shipped by river
barge to the sea. Then it became
necessary to transship it to the great
Mediterranean galleys. and thus con-
veyed across the treacherous waters
to the port of Rome.
There is no other place in the worlo
where this porphyry is to be found,
and when the quarries ceased to be
worked, some time previous to the
seventh century. the use of that stone
had to cease also, nor has 1t since
been procurable.

oIories Of Serbian History.

The deeds of the Serblans and of
Kara George, their leader, are so re-

There Is no case In which II single
small power in the Balkans has done
so much without more aid from the
great powers. What Greece owed TO
Canning, Roumanla TO Louis Napoleon
md Bulgaria to Gar Alexander, the
tiny states of Serbia and Montenegro

And Aunt Mary did her worst speed

week later and die. But she had had
time to carry her threat into effect.

of my property. But inasmuch as his
love for me could not survive little

him instead the china vase which is
now In his wife's possession"
Yet, after all. 1t seemed that Aunt
Mary had had singularly little to leave
For what she did leave to her dozen
nephews and nieces amounted to ex-
actly ninety-seven dollars and eighteen
cents apiece.
George" said Lucy in tears, when
they got home from the funeral, 'if
Aunt Mary has any knowledge of what
is happening now. don't you think it
would please her II we kept the vase
on our mantel after all?"
81 tell you what well do" said
George. Wen put it on the mantel
each anniversary of her death as a
peace offering. The rest of the year
please keep it out of my sight"
Yes. dear" said Lucy. Suppose
we keep it there just for today, to
show we have no hard feeling"
She brought it out of its place of
concealment and deposited 1t beside
the Pompeiian Jars. George looked at
it-then suddenly, overcome by pas
sion, he dashed It to the floor. The
vase broke into a thousand pieces.
"George!" exclaimed his wife
wretchedly. "How could you have the
heart to do that? Dear Aunt Mary!
why-there's paper inside!"
There was indeed, for the vase was
hollow, and on the floor lay long,
thin, folded package.
"Billsl" shouted George Strang. as
he unfolded it. And he shook out, one
after another, nine bills of the value
of thousand dollars apiece.
"Lookl There's letter!" said Lucy
Strang, picking up a piece of paper
covered with Aunt Mary's queer, crab
bed hieroglyphics.
my dear, hot-headed nephew"
George read aloud. Forgive a cranky
old woman who loves you with all her
heart. l know how you will hate this
vase. If you are hypocrite enough to
keep it, or unkind enough to give 1t
away. you will never read this note.
But II you are honest enough to fol-
low your impulse and shatter it you
will be glad and forgive your loving

NEW HEADLIGHT FOR AUTOS

With Front Wheels.

The latest development in automo-
bile lighting Is headlight which al.
ways points in the right direction.
Every motorist has known the annoy
ance which arises in turning corners,
when the front wheels are pointed In
one direction and the headlights in
another. and the country to left or
right is lighted, while the road he
wants to travel is dark. The new
headlight Is connected with the front
axle in such way that it turns with
the front wheels instead of with the
body Of the car. and always points in
the direction the wheels are pointed.

car will travel.

For Lucy had run into her bedroom
when the old lady was announced to
get the china vase; but she had not
had time to place 1t upon the mantel
and stood guiltily hiding 1t beneath
her apron.

that he cared for me-since my en-
deavors to make his home happy and
beautiful are SO unappreciated, / shall

incidentally, shall bestow my money

greater service"
And with these words she stalked
out of the apartment, leaving Lucy in
tears.
She told George of the happening
when he returned from his studio.
"Give me that Internal vase" he
shouted. I'm going to break 1t to
pieces and send her the fragments by

AUNT MARY WAS ODD
Strange Way in Which She Aid
ed Rer Favorite, Hot-Head-
ed Nephew
BY FRANK EILsoN.

"A present from Aunt Mary!" said
young Mrs. Strang as the oddly-wrap-
ped parcel was handed to her by the
postman. 81 just know that it's some
thing odd, George"
1t must be odd. because Aunt Mary
was odd She was queer little old
spinster, with the kindest heart and
the crankiest manners that ever went
into a combination. But though she
had quarreled with almost all her
relatives and then made up with
them, and alternately cut them out of
her will and then put their names
back into multitudinous codicils. she
had always kept the warmest spot in
her heart for George Strang, her hand
some artist nephew.
She had, indeed, supported him dur
ing that period which comes to every
artist, when he was struggling for
fame and existence in large city
gust of his own family. And now
that he had married pretty Lucy Bent
wick and was In comfortable, II not af-
fluent Gil cumstances. she had sent
him a wedding gift.
"A china vase!" exclaimed George
Strang in disgust as he eyed the
Queer-looking object in his hand.
1t was. indeed, the most repulsive
looking vase that he had ever seen.
1t was rotund and highly decorated
with painted pink roses. and upon 1t
was printed in small, black letters:
you may break. you may shatter
the vrse IL you will,
But the scent of the roses will cling
to 1t STILL"

like that. because Lucy promptly
closed his mouth with her hand.

preliminary, you must start, but that
can be at your leisure. Make dozen
or even a hundred attempts to bring
the car to a standstill until you have
gained confidence. Then adventure
along some quiet, unobstructed road.
After you have received some in

of the car, practice stopping suddenly
before reaching imaginary dangers
along the road. Don't walt for this
lesson until a child, chicken, an alb

Measuring Distance.
Measuring distance accurately is the
most important feature of driving.
Draw two lines across the road fifty
feet apart. Then, going at the rate of
twenty miles an hour. apply the brake
and see how long 1t takes you to stop
the car. When you discover how much
over the fifty-foot line your automobile
goes. you realize the necessity for the
drivers first rule-caution.
This trial also teaches you what
speed is safe in approaching railroad
crossings and intersecting streets, and
how near you can go to traffic before
applying your brake.-Popular Science

TO FIX BATTERY CONNECTION
Stripped End Of Wire Should Be
Wound Around Binding Post In
cIockwIse Direction.

In making an ordinary connection to
n battery terminal, the stripped end
of the wire should be wound around
the binding post in a clockwise direc-
ton. When the screw is frightened, 1t
will be turned to the right and with
the wire wound in the same direction,
there is tendency for 1t to wrap all
the tighter around the post. When the
wire is wrapped the other way around,
II tends to unwrap when the screw is
