HALO DUE TO MIscoNcEPnoN
Explanation Of Luminous Circle About
the Heads Of Saints Is Some
what Humorous.

For centuries 1t has been an almost
paint halos above the heads Of the
saints in their pictures. Some char
acters have been so depicted, even
though not officially canonized or pre-
vious to that ceremony, when the ar
fist wished to indicate special spirit
ual qualities or holiness, as for in
stance, in the case of Joan Of Arc.
During the eleventh and twelfth cen
turtles there was a great activity in the
building Of churches and cathedrals,
and it was a common practice to erect
around the outside of the buildings
statues OF the saints, which were
: placed just under the caves. As the
images became discolored by the rain
which fell upon the roofs and then
poured over them the authorities, as
a means of protection. placed over the
heads of the figures wooden disks Of a
size sufficient to protect them. Gitto,
the great artist, began to paint holy
pictures when only country boy, and
In his ignorance assumed that the
disks were essential parts OF the
images Of the saints. Hence his earli-
est paintings represent each sacred
figure wearing over the head some
thing that looks like the bottom Of
a tub. Later on he localized this into
mere circle, dark at first. but growing
more luminous with each production,
until finally he developed the circle Of
light that has come down unchanged

Joke 5000 Years Old.

Planned by the ancient Egyptians
over 5000 years ago, joke just came
to fruition, writes Prof. Flinders
Petrie, the noted archeologist. "While
we were trying to find way into a
queens pyramid" he says, I'VE dis
covered on rock face door which
was so beautifully and exactly fitted
that 1t was difficult to see the joints.
We Immediately set to work on this,
thinking that we had found at last
an entrance to the inner chamber.
After considerable amount Of work
we removed the door and found
solid rockl 1t was carefully ar
ranged blind to balk anyone who
wanted TO find the entrance into the
royal tombs, and had been made about
5000 b. G. by someone with sense
of humor."

Don't Neglect Your Play.

There are men in the world who
feel that the whole works would stop
If they took time enough to play a
little. That's all bosh. The man who
can play well is usually the fellow
who can put the work across. Some
have the play spirit so well in hand
that they make sport of their work.
1t is real pleasure to them. They get
both recreation and profit from their
efforts. It's no wonder they stay
young In their work.
And don't forget that If you would
succeed you must carry your load.
It's a mistake to get out from under
responsibility. It's meeting respon-
sibility that makes progress possible.
Strikers are not in demand. They
may put things over occasionally, but
they do 1t at the expense of personal
discount. You can't afford to do It.
Carry your load like a man.-Grit.

DUE TO BODILY DISORDERS
Scientist Thus Explains the Striking
Differences Between Various
Races of Mankind.

Assuming that the various existing
races Of mankind are descended from
a common stock, how are to be ex-
rlainel such striking differences as
these that distinguish, for example, the
CEinaman from the Anglo-Saxon, and
the Anglo Saxon from the negro? Prof.
Arthur Keith recently discussed this
question in an address before the an
thropological section of the Brit
ISL association.
He believes that the key to this prob
lem is to be found through studying
the disturbances and disorders that oc-
casionally affect the development and
growth of the human body; especially
those due toNa functional arrangement
Of one or more of the glands Of inter-
mol secretion-the pituitary, thyroid.
pineal, adrenal and other glands. In
some manner not yet understood, the
functions, carried on In their glands
regulate not only the dimensions Of
the body, but also the shape and size
Of each individual part.
The racial features Of the Mongs-
liam type are initiated by growing Eu-
ropeans who are affected by deficiency
disorders Of the thyroid gland. The
features Of the negro can best be ac-
counted for BY the nature Of the
growth-reguiating mechanism conferred
in the thyroid and suprarenal glands.
European features are connected with
a dominance u the functions or the
pituitary.
Scientists hope that q thorough
study Of the still obscure subject Of
the so-called "ductless" glands will pro-
vide the means of regulating to some
extent. the future evolution Of the hu-
man race.

An Acre.

The word acre is derived from the
old Anglo-Saxon word aecer, and is
identical with the Latin word ager,
meaning cultivated field. The Eng
lish acre consists of 4,S40 square
yards, or 1880 square feet. If your
field is rectangle, that is, having
four sides and each angle right
angle or square corner" its area is
obtained by multiplying the length by
the breadth. II your measurements
are in rods, the result will be square
rods; If in yards, square yards; and
If in feet, square feet. A field 132
feet by 165 feet Of rectangular shape
contains 21.7s0 square feet. 1t is
therefore. half an acre. But rec
tangular field might be different
length and width, and yet contain an
acre. For example, II II is $50 feet
long and 66 feet wide 1t will contain
21,7S0 square feet, or half an acre.

Bats Great Value.

The value of the bat as an insect
destroyer has been recognized in the
United States by the erection Of mu-
nicipal bat roosts in San Antonio,
Texas, and structures similar in bird
houses have been set up to encourage
bats to live in the vicinity of the
city, where they serve as an import
ant check to the mosquitoes. In ia
maica there is no need for such mu-
nicipal roost, as there are numbers
of old buildings, whose dark recesses
furnish bats with suitable homes. In
some very old churches great colo
MES of these insect-eating bats have
taken up quarters, and II is not an
uncommon sight to see them issuing
forth shortly before dusk In streams
of hundreds.
