PEOPLE IN EARTH's INTERloR7
Man of Science Believed There Were,

an Investigation.

On November 10, 1922, one Of the
most peculiar petitions ever presented
10 congress was brought before that
body of lawmakers, which was none
other than request from John Cleves
Symmes, asking that aid be given him
to make voyage to the interior OF
the globe, which he believed to be In.
habitable. He was permitted to lee
ture before Union college, at which he
expourded his theory, which, however
was met with universal ridicule.
Notwithstanding which he was great.

all planetary bodies, including the
earth, are composed of concentrie
spheres, open at their poles. In one

SINCERITY SHOWN IN LIFE
Without Works 10 Of No Avail
Remains True.


An author tells us that sincerity is
the supreme virtue: but that sincerity
Is not expressed In words-only In
real life. The venerable declaration
that faith without works is dead is
true. And one will see an illustra-
ton Of the fact on every side every
day. The fact Is the world does not
live what It believes. We noted In a
book the other day that there would
be little. II any, controversy If men
said what they thought and felt. This
is surely true. Men differ as soon
as they appeal from the spirit to the
intellect This is because the spirit
deals with the fundamentals and the
intellect with the details. Sincerity
belong to the former. 1t is more than
an opinion. 1t is bigger than a stand
point. 1t Is where sincerity gets its
influence, which is the still, small
voice that comes out Of the whirlwind
that roars around every mans life.
But we should remember that sin
certify Is not q connection, but q vir-
tue. as real as mothers love. They
tue. as real as a mothers love. And
don't mistake sincerity for consis-
tency. They may be acquainted. but
they are not related.-Ohio State

CLAIM BLOOD OF ROMANS
Tuaregs of the Sahara Desert Are
Supposed to Be Descended From
Once World Rulers.

The original gas-masked people of
the world are the Tuaregs of the Sa-
hara desert-a strange race, supposed
to be descended from. the Roman col
onists of North Africa and the Arabs
who carried the standard of Moham-
med into the wilderness 1,2OO years
ago. An immense and almost unknown
country is held by the Tuaregs, a
fierce fighting people. who range on
swift camels from Algeria to Timbuc-
too. Tales are told of white-walied
cities In the Tuareg lands, with Ro-
man theaters, circuses and baths still
standing as the Romans left them, and
now the haunt of the Tuareg tribes
men.
The mystery that surrounds the
Tuaregs is doubled by their custom of
always going masked. A mask of
white or black cloth covers the mouth
and nostrils, and, so the Tuaregs say,
protects them from the dust and
wtndblown sand of the desert, from
the poisonous yapors of the Niger val
leys, and, no doubt, from the disease
germs which float so freely in the
filthy towns of Africa. Certain 1t is
that infectious diseases ravage other
North African people, while the Tua-
regs maintain magnificent health from
year to year. Few travellers have ever
seen the Tuaregs unmasked. Those
who have declare that they are as
white as any Europeans. and decidedly
handsome. their pale skins doubtless
being largely due to the mask which
keeps of the burning sun.

Lsoend Of the GARNET

The Indians who live In Arizona
have great deal of sentiment about
the garnet mines. 1t is said, and there
are numerous legends concerning 1t,
one Of which is that centuries ago on
cold winter night the little daughter
of a great Indian chief died, and as
she passed away Indians standing out
side the place where she lay noticed
an immense multitude OF sparks that
few up from the chiefs chimney and
settled upon the mountain side. where
they shone as brightly as stars. never
growing cold and dead.
Later they sank into the earth and
formed the garnets that gem the entire
mountain.

GAVE LIFE FOR HER PEOPLE
Pretty Legend Concerning Maiden
Worthy to Be Known as Indian
Joan Of A'c.

In the great northwestern country,
between the mighty Rockies and the
beautiful Cascades, are the mountains
called the Huckleberry range. They
spread their arms comfortably about
the many small mining towns of Wash
ington. A soldierly array of pines
and tamaracks keep watch over all the
inhabitants of Huckleberry range-the
rough farmers, rugged miners and the
few native redskins still left.
A large tribe of Indians once lived
in these mountains, from the heights
of which one can look far over the
blue haze of Idaho, view the cleaning
wide ribbon of the Columbia river, or
behold the white tips of the Canadian
Rockies.
A tale is stold by the folk of Huckle-
berry range about Camas, the fairest
maid Of this ancient Indian tribe. Dur
ing one of the many forest fires of
the region. when the entire range
seemed threatened with destruction,
this Indian Joan of Arc gathered in
her arms some little pink and white
flowers and disappeared down the
winding trail.
She went to the very edge of the
fire, where the dried grasses Kissed
and sizzlcd with the flames and the
blazing pines stretched out scorching
fingers toward her and the dainty
peace offering. Then-the legend says
the Great Spirit was appeased and
sheets of rain hid the brave Indian
maid from the view of her people.
Never more was Camas seen by her
tribe, but every spring since then the
strange little pink and white flowers
have covered the wide mountains of
Huckleberry range. In honor of the
Indian girl the blossom is called the
Camas flower.
