LAND OF LOST CIVILIZATION
Abundant Proof That Africa Was at
One Time PeopIed by Races of
High Intelligence.

Evidences are multiplying that AT
RIGA contains the secrets of a great
civilization. At present it is partially
q savage land, given over to savage
animals and equally savage men, and
it is difficult to conceive that in the
mists Of antiquity this continent was
peopled by intelligent communities.
In the last century great deal was
learned about this dark continent, and
the South African company did much
to add to our store of knowledge.
The expedition of this company into
Mashonaland, in search of gold, pass
ed the wonderful ruins of Zimbaye,
nearly 200 miles due west of Sofala,
on the Indian ocean.
They have been attributed to the
Moors, the Phoenicians and the Per-
slams, and it is said by the old chron-
iclers that there were inscriptions,
which modern psychologists have set
out to decipher.
These structures were reared Of
granite, hewn into small blocks a lit
TIC lul SOI LlIdu UIlCh, anu puC "
gether without mortar. In all the
walls are seen two or three courses
of masonry, where the granite blocks
are inserted in zigzag fashion.
There seems to be no doubt that
they were erected as places OF de-
Tense, and also for the smelling, stor-
ing and protection of gold, copper and
other metals.
On removing quantity of the sur
face rubbish inside, there was found
what was evidently three large circu-
lar roasting floors, formed of burnt
f1reclay and slightly concave. There
were also remains of Stag, and other
evidences that the place had been used
for smelling metals.
It is certain that the last thing CIV
ilized men would expect to find in this
region, where the natives belong TO
the lower stages of human develop
ment, are these great rock structures
betokening the existence of a former
civilization amid these wilds.
The natives have not even any ira
dition as to the origin of the ruins.
There are many facts proving their
great antiquity, and among them the
circumstances that at one OF the great
ruins at Zimbaye an ironwood tree,
which was undoubtedly hundreds OF
years DID, had risen through the wall
and split it.

CANADA'S new
DEVEL0PME
After the War a Period of Pros
perity.

1t is evident that the Government of
the Dominion in it's programme of re-
construction and development is I'M
dertaking a work of tremendous i'm
portance. There will be available the
labor for work that has been silent
since 1914, and the rehabilitation of
this labor will entail the thought and
energy of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peace
will be rapid and thorough, and, in
stead Of Canada sinking into state
of lethargy, there will be continued
period of wakefulness that will give
employment to the unemployed, and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for his money, effort
and enterprise.
The agricultural potentialities of
the great Canadian West possess illim-
table acres of the best of soil, capable
Of producing millions of bushels of
the best of grain. The cost of grow
ing this is lower than any place on
the continent. There will be greater
consequent production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattle
industry will be one of"the chief de-
velopments, and the encouragement Of
it will lie in the continued high prices
that beef products will bring. Euro
pean countries have been depleted Of
cattle, and the demand for beef, cattle
and dairy products will tax the efforts
Of the producer for years to come.
Western Canada offers unequaled
opportunities for development In this
line.
In the Canadian West plans are be-
ing laid for the development of cleo
trical power which can be produced
cheaply. There is an abundance of
coal and water power that could be
used in developing this useful energy.
What cheap power produced In this
way will mean to the farmer and de-
velopment of industrial enterprises
cannot be estimated In figures.
More extensive development of the
water power at Niagara, on the ST.
Lawrence and at waterfalls all over
the country, Is ready to be launched.
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up, and it is equally certain
that shipbuilding, railway equipment,
steel production, and many Of the in
dustries will go forward with
bound.
Canadian industries will be required
in the reconstruction of Europe, and
already the Canadian Government has
sent across the seas a commission for
the purpose Of securing orders. Can
ada took an early and prominent part
in the war, and in the days of peace
will be found equally active. She feels
that by the valor and loyalty of her
people she has earned large share
Of the business and prosperity that
will follow the war period, and she
proposes to get it.-Advertisement.

Beams Made Of Redwood.

Wood is now rapidly supplanting
steel beams in industrial plant con-
struction, as may be seen In a large
paper pulp mill which is now being
erected. What are known as laminat'
ed wooden trusses are being put in by
a Chicago construction company hav-
ing the contract for the mill. The
largest trusses used are SO feet long,
there being six of these, and the ma
,terial is a redwood. There are 21 so
foot trusses and seven 64-foot trusses.
Twenty thousand feet of the material
is redwood and the remainder south
ern pine. The redwood is used in the
part of the cut work that is directly
above the big watts in the MILL this
wood being considered more adapta-
BILE to stand the action of the steam
from the watts.

Holds Receiver in Position.

Free use of both hands while tele-
phoning is made possible by wire
device, lately invented, that holds the
receiver in convenient operating posi-
ton. The bracket is so constructed
that it normally depresses the receiver
hook. TO release the latter thumb
piece is pressed. The hook is drawn
down and the bracket member moved
in the opposite direction when one
ceases telephoning. The device is con-
venient for both home and office use,
and specially in public telephone
booths.

BELIEVES BOXING is
BECOMING LOST ART
lack McAuIiffe Doesn't Like
Fighters of Present Day.
Ciohtweiqhts of Today Do Not Com
pare With Those of Decade or Two
Aoo--HandIers Unwilling
to Take Chances.

Jack McAuliffe, the only unbeaten
lightweight champion of the world,
who joined the army just previous to
the signing of the armistice, does not
believe that any OF the lightweight
boxers of the present day can COM
pare with the famous lightweights OF
a decade or two ago.
mThere must be something, too, In
the idea that boxing is becoming
lost art when famous boxers like Nc
Auliffe. Kid Mccoy, Tommy Ryan and
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien say So"
says a writer in an exchange.
"They can't all be off in their reckon
ing.
"Who or what's to blame? / don't
know. Everybody perhaps. A boxer
gets in the ring and his seconds begin
to yell at him to keep away and not
take chances.
"The boxer hears his seconds, obeys
orders, and what's the result? No
fight.
"If a mans handlers don't want him
to take chances they shouldn't ask
him to get in the ring.
"There are times, Of course, when a
boxer shouldn't take chances, when
he should stay away as far as he can
from the other fellow, but that's only
when he's been hit clip on the chin
or stomach-when he's in distress.
"When he's not In distress It's his
business to take chances. How's he
going to hit the other fellow if he
isn't close enough to reach him? NO

NO AWARD TO LAKES

Capt. Emmett Keefe of the
Great Lakes football team, de-
MES the gobs had been award
ed the touchdown by Eielson
that gave them the re victory
J over Annapolis.
"When Saunders, a sub, rush
, ed from the bench and tackled
Eielson, who was racing for a
touchdown in clear field"
Keefe explained, "the officials
didn't blow their whistles, so the
ball wasn't dead Eielson got
up after the incident and kept
right on to the goal, SO he scored
a perfectly legal touchdown.
There wasn't any kind Of an
award on the play"

Get New Kidneys !

The kidneys are the most overworket
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed IN the

One Of the first warnings is pain or st1iN
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; IndigeF
tion irritation, or even stone in the bad

that may lead to that dreaded and fatal

is said to be no cure.

Photographs on Silver.

The process of printing photographs
on silver plates has at last been per-
fected, after years of experimenting.
The chemicals used in the process are
not kept from the public. The silver
plate on which print has been made
has a special advantage over old
methods, in that the impression re-
mains after the surface has been
ground down. Plate glass also is said
TO adapt itself to this method.

CONTROL OF BOXING PLANNED
National Movement Under Way to Re
store Sport In Public Favor
One Man to Govern.

Inspired by the suggestion from
baseball that one-man commission be
installed to govern the sport, a ma
tional movement has been started to
apply this creation to amateur and
professional boxing. 1t is proposed
to have single commissioner, of rec
ognized standing, in all states where
the sport is legalized. An appeal along
these lines will be made to all con-
gressmen representing states where
boxing bouts are permitted.
