Two old men, one q bachelor and

Not long ago one of them inherited a
small amount Of money and he imme-

When the house was completed he
asked his old friend and neighbor to
come, over to spend the night. After
supper they sat by the fire and smoked
and talked, and finally. when CONVEX

to his host and said:

Clock Tower Of Jerusalem.

Since the occupation of the holy
city of Jerusalem by the British 1t
is gradually becoming more western
lied. For the first time in its history
its streets are properly cleaned and
it has been given a fire brigade SER
vice and now an efficient water-sup-
ply: Hitherto its inhabitants de-
pended upon a few wells and water
collected in overhead cisterns. The
telephone, too, has been introduced.
Its most striking improvement
though 1t is one that was carried out
just prior to the war-was the erec-
ton of fine clock tower at the Jaffa
gate. 1t is built Of white stone obtained
from Solomon's quarries, of which the
temple was constructed. The clock,
which was supplied by a London
matchmaker, shows both European and
Arabic time. Opposite the tower a
drinking fountain has been erected,
and the roadway which leads through
the old walls into the city at this
point has been entirely rebuilt.

HoNDURAN CITY OF MYSTERY
No Scholar Has Been Able to De-
cipher the Picture-Writinos
Left In cepan.

Copan is a city Of mystery. The
people who once ,thronged it's streets
and bowled at its affairs are long since
gone. leaving no record of their ex-
istence save the hoary stones of their
city. These stones, built into pyfa-
mids, walls and monuments, bear their
story carved in, the Maya characters.
But no descendants have survived to
interpret the stories, and no scholar
has arisen wise enough to read the
picture-writings. of Copan.
Ruins Of this oldest city Of The
Maya Indians may still be seen by
those sufficiently persistent and en-
thusiastic to seek them out. A lit
tie Indian village in western Honduras,
and the river on which it lies keep
the name Of Copan alive today. To
visit the ruins Of the great Copan you
must seek out this village by train
and then go long journey on horse
back. Just beyond the village lies
the old Maya metropolis.
The only inhabitants of Copan to-
day are queer figures of the Maya
gods, that peer out Of unexpected
hiding places like the creatures Of a
bad dream. Wonderfully carved many
Of them are, grotesque in attitude and
expression, according to the artists
conception of the beings Of the other
world.
When Copan flourished, how it fell,
and what became Of Its last people,
no one knows. The city is as desc
late as only a deserted city can be,
oppressive and sad even in the bright
sunlight Of tropical midday

TOO FEW USE THEIR BRAINS

the Greatest Waste In the
va World.

The recent invention which renders
wireless transmission Independent Of
atmospheric conditions and the dis
coyery by which seven messages can
be sent, simultaneously over tele-
phone wire are striking instances Of
latent possibilities long unsupported.
For thousands of years we did not
even suspect the existence of cleo
tricity. and, being ignorant, derived
no advantage from 1t.
If we had never heard music, we
would say it was merely the dream Of
simpleton to expect the most beauti-
full harmony Of sounds from combi-

cat and hairs from the tail of horse.
But the violin, plus the man who
knows how, accomplishes the wonder
full result. 4-.#

the costs. And there the matter ends
the costs amounting to about $500.
