Bodies Turned to Stone.

Human bodies buried in lime stone countries are often turned to solid stone by the fimeWater which penctrates the graves. In other soils there are clements which sometimes SO embalm the buried dead as to preserve form and fea- lures unchanged. Many such cases are on record. Robert Burns body was disinterred in 1915 to be re- moved to new tomb. To the sup prise of all his friends. the features were found to be as perfect as at burial. When the body of John Hampden, the famous English pa- triot and leader, was disinterred by Lord Nugcnt 200 years after burial the form and features were as un- changed as if the corpse had been recently laid in the grave

A DEBT TO HEROES
Fhe Fifth Liberty Loan will be

The Fifth Liberty Loan will be known as the Victory Loan.
 Victory is not merely a matter of jubilation, accepting surrender of beaten foe and dropping the gun to take up the blow share in the furrow where it stood when the call to arms came.
 The Victory Loan is one of the many great obligations that come to the victors. President Wood TOW Wilson and the members of the American peace delegation are now in France looking: after the world obligations. Our part now is to prepare to pay in small measure the debt we owe our khaki and blue clad champions.
 A large part of the money to be raised in the Victory Loan cam paign next April will be used for the rehabilitation of our wounded men. The Government will do its utmost to restore every wound ed American soldier and sailor to health and self.supporting activ- ity.
 When the wounded man has been given complete medical and surgical treatment he will be con- sidered by the Federal Board for vocational education. If his dis ability prevents return to work he left at the call of the Govern nsent, a wide choice of occupa- tion is open to him.
 If the injured man needs an artificial limb or appliance of any sort the Government will provide it. Until his special treatment or training ends he will receive regular compensation and the family will receive the allotments. The war risk insurance will be paid until the end of the voca- tional training if the course is elected without necessity, but in this case the allotments will not be paid the family.
 Instead of finding dependent cripples and beggars made so by an unappreciative country, they will be highly trained heroes whose sacrifices will not be tar nished by lack of gratitude.
 If you are worth victory pre- pare now to buy Victory Bonds.

In the fishing districts and on the farms of Holland the old time Dutch customs are still to be found. The quaint costume of the women, with the ancient headdress and tire full skirts, remains the pride of the Holland huisvrouv (housewifel, and -he men, with their wide, baggy trousers, are no less picturesque.

One of th6T-sst Fateful Battles In the
 Worlds History.

WofIo E1isloTJ.
 Keratsini is d Greek village that oyerlooks waters upon which was fought one of the most momcntous battles in the worlds history, one which helped to preserve Greek civilization from Persian sroliation. The National Geographic society is- sues the following bulletin on ke- ratsini and its historic environs:
 Tt is less than an hours walk in a northwesterly direction from the railroad station of Piraeus, the sec ond city of modern Greece, to Kc- ratsini. This suburb of the chief seaport i'll the kingdom is situated at the head of q small inlet in the mainland shore, directly opposite the bay of Ambclaki, which indents the nearby island of Salamis.
 "Overhanging Kcratsini to the northwest is a hill upon which a powder magazine has been con- structed, but which bears the ex- alted and significant name, Throne of Xerxes.' Legend says it was from this eminence that the Persian dcs- pot, seated in his silver footed chair, watched the destruction of more than 200 (the Greeks claimed 1.000) oe his ships of war by the wooden walP triremes commanded by The mistocles. Some historians identify the rocky promontory of Kerato- pyrgos, mile 10 the west, as the moge probable vantage point of ob- scrvation from which Nerxes saw his hopes of punishing the 'impn- dent Athenians' vanish.
 ''Thc great marine draEsa which was enacted in these waters front ing Kcratsini, probably on Sept. 9, 4S0 B. C., has bceTs described by one of the foremost gen:gses of ancient Greece, the poet playwright AeschvIus, who was him self par ticipant 7n the aitIc. 1t was cirht years later that tEie drar.lt'st's "Pcrsac" (the Pers'ansl, in which thc victory is so ,,gnilieentIy re- countcdr was enacted in the theater of Dioaysius at Athens. This IS one of the seven plays out of the ninety written by Aeschylus which have been preserved.
 Standing on the beach at Ke- ratsini and looking toward the south, the visitor secs the rocky is- let of Pvsttaleia Iipsokoutali), }, barely two miles away. At this strategic point Xerxes stationed GOO picked men, many of whom were of noble and princely blood. They were supposed to lie in wait for the Greeks as they should flee before the Persian fleet. As events developed, however. the Persians were so decisively beaten that in their flight they had no time to think of withdrawing this select body of men. They were left to their fate, a tragic one, for Aris- tides, he whom the Athenians de- lighted to call the Just, organized g band of citizens, landed on the is- land and put to the sword
