Ancient Asbesto9.

There was winding sheet Of amian-
thus In the Vatican library, soft and
pliable in the hand, showing indica-
tions of ignition upon one corner. The
cloth, however, did not suffer. This
burning is taken as showing that some
combustible fiber had been intermin-
gled. Marco Polo. in the thir-
teenth century, reported cloth which
the natives Of territory now included
in Russian Siberia claimed as having
been made of salamander skin.
Marco Polo satisfied himself, so It
seems, that he had to do with min
eral substance. In fact, he found out
something as to its manufacture.
In this same general region of country
asbestos is today known to exist.
We are H+t-to regard asbestos as n
single. definite mineral. Nor are we
to understand that there is fixed
chemical constitution. Certain forms
of hornblende and serpentine, IL
fbrous, are regarded as asbestos.

city people see the sun rise? Yet they
could easily be on hand to hail its
earliest light where the view is not OBJ
structed by skyscrapers. On hand to

ened day. You don't need any other
stimulant for the days work; it's the
best in the world! 1t stays with us,
giving heart and hope for the tasks be-
fore us; tasks that lead to home and
happiness, under the twilight stars.
Make the early start. and take the
road with Morning! It's the time O.

The worst menace of this country at
present is, in our judgment, the unbal
anced "parlor bolshevik," whose de-
light in preaching class hatred is COM
parable with the delight of children
playing with matches. With what
probably seem to the cult the most
laudable intentions in the world, there
is danger that fire be started which
cannot be controlled. The inequalities
of social strata are admitted. of
course. for any fool can see that they
are there, says Lowell CourlerCitizen
The thing needed is sanity in dealing
with them-and sanity is about the
last characteristic that can be predi-
Gated to the average ''parlor bolshe-
vik." If only few of our male and
female agitators could be isolated in
psychopathic wards. where they clear
ly belong, the world would be infinitely
better off.

Their valleys all are wales Of peace,
Their flower fields. that WOO to rest,
The fragrance of the spring release.
Time blOts them from the magic page
That memory holds for me to read;
Time steals away this heritage
That toll and sorrow supersede;
But still sometimes catch CLEAN
OF sun-kissed crest, of cloudless skies
And in my wearied fancy seem
To see the isles Of youth arise.
Oh, happy dream! Oh. radiant land
OF love and faith and innocence!
The sad years pass and in their hand
Bring naught your loss can recon-
pense;
Yet times when memory's kindly art
Strips customs bandage from my
l see, with wildly beating heart,
The golden isles Of youth arise
