The moments licked away and the
great hands on the customs clock

turned to the sacred vase. the stream
of crystal liquid grew less and less,

Be Americans E irst. Last and Always Advice of Senator Lodge eo American
 People


 Do not forget that having visions is one thing, while being visionary. es- pecially visionary whose ideals and visions are stage properties, is quite another. What troubles me most, writes Senator Lodge in Leslie's, about the books and articles and speeches by our most advanced thinkers setting forth new panaceas and systems for all the evils is that they are generally so very old, fact apparently disregarded by their authors, who very properly despise a past which only rises up to be troublesome. Russian bolshevism presents warning to America in it's awful results of a scheme which it's authors pretended and their dupes be lieved would make all men happy in a moment. In letters of fire this Russian scene says to us: .'This way lies ruin. !" Be Americans first, Americans last and Americans always.

Twenty-Five Years After Death, Boone's Body Was
 Re-Interred in Kentucky

q
 with Kenteky won Boone found that, by, one of the twists of law, the plot of ground he thought was his was not his at all," says William Heyliger in concluding an article on Daniel Boone" in Boys Life, the official maga- zine of the boy scout organization. Almost like a penniless outcast he moved to Virginia, but when fresh tales came to him of land to the west of the Mississippi, then called Louisi- ana, his sixty-one years did not deter him from risking fresh start. In 1795 he established himself near the present city of St. Louis and took what he thought was deed to land; but in 1903, when this territory passed from Spain to the United States, he found this claim worthless.
 'sBut now the American people were awakening to a realization of what Boone's leadership in Kentucky had meant to the nation. Congress granted him $50 acres of land. There in the West, free from want, he passed his last days. Twenty-Five years after his death his remains were brought back to Kentucky. And, in the land he gave to civilization, he sleeps, this man who carried the torch of civilization among savage people and barred his chest to the shock of battle that it's flame might not be extinguished."

Birds Have Riqht of Way.

Fowl have the right of way in air, warns the director of military aero nautics. This is justice indeed, since birds flew first
 But this is not all. Recently many towns along the Atlantic coast have been visited with dead bird showers. Aviators flying by town would see a flock of wild fowl coming their way. They would set their machine guns and let the bullets fly.
 Presently prominent citizen walk ing below would be hit with a large bloody bird. He complained to the department of agriculture. Then the federal migratory bird law between the United States and Great Britain was referred to, and it was found that shooting birds from airplanes is un- lawful.

Origin and Design of Great
 Seal of the United States

The great seal of the United States was adopted by congress 136 years ago. The design was suggested by Sir John Prestwich, an eminent English anti quary, to John Adams, then United States minister to Great Britain, and was formally accepted by congress on June 20, 1782. It is composed of spread eagle, bearing on it's breast an escutcheon with 13 stripes. and in it's talons holding an olive branch and 13 arrows, symbolic of both peace and war. The eagle. the suggestion of an Englishman, has ever since been the national bird of the United States.

Columns, Water and Other Methods by Which Ancients
 Kept Track of the Time

Sacred history furnishes the earliest reference to anything like fixed and permanent time measurer. Isaiah speaks of the dial of Ahaz which went ten degrees backward and this dial, it has been conjectured, was a tall and slender column, which cast shadow on series of steps with which it was encircled. The Egyptians, too, are credited with having used their mono liths, such as Cleopatra's needle, as time measurerS.
 The Chaldeans had other methods of measuring time. They, as well as the contemporary Hindoos, and very likely the Egyptians, were acquainted with the water clock, or clepsydra, which measured time after the fash ion of the hour glass, water taking the place of sand. It is believed that the Egyptians actually had hour glasses, for upon one of the bas-re- liefs which have come to light after their long interment of 5000 years or more is an object which those learned in such matters assure us can be noth- ing else than sand glass.
 In principle the clepsydra was noth- ing but rod floating upon water, which was slowly dropping from an orif1ce in the vessel in which it was marked upon the rod, and a fixed pointer served the purpose of clock hand.

Mammoth Cave Has Rival.

Workers in a mine at Matehuala, near San Luis Potosi, Mexico, have discovered cave which is said to be one of the largest in the republic.
 It is more than 300 feet below the level of the mine and is 15 feet in width.
 but exploring parties expect to survey it carefully in the near future. One of the most fantastic of it's many gro tesque adornments is a sulphurous fountain which pours out continuously a stream, of blue water.
 It promises to rival in magnificence Kentucky's famous Mammoth cave, when fully explored.
