REPEATED HIS GREAT WORK
When Thomas Carlyle Proved Invul-
nerable to the "Sings and Arrows
of Outrageous Fortune"

In 1885 there occurred an incident
which would have deranged an ordi-
nary man. Thomas Carlyle was living
at D Cheyne row, Chelsea, near Lon
don. He had not earned a penny says
he to himself, "by the craft of litera-
ture for % months" But with the
push of ii tiger he was blowing his
way through his History of the
French Revolution" The first volume
was finished. 1t had taken him five
months to write it. He loaned the Mss.
to John Stuart Mill. ON a certain
morning Mill called upon Carlyle, his
face as white as ashes. After two
hours of awkward fumbling Mill man
aged to tell it--he had left the price
less Mss. on q desk and the housemaid
had taken it to light the morning fire
in the CRATE! Carlyle was like
stricken man But one day, as he sat
dumhly at mis- window, he saw CHEEKY
bricklayers building a house, brick by
brick. He burst into tears and. sob
bling like child, he cried: Il, too, can
bring back thought by thought" He

Among the manners and customs of

practice Of kissing among men.
As for the custom of kissing men on

Canine Curiosity.

The curiosity OF the dog is pro-
nounced if observed for a few min
utes. 1t is quick to notice a strange
dog or person and the value of the
watchdog comes from the fact that
it wants to investigate every noise
1t is very interesting to watch a dog
when it meets beetle. At first he
seems to be little afraid Of the tiny
creature, but finally he can't resist any
longer. so he plucks up enough cour-
age to touch it with his paw. Then,
realizing that it has not hurt him, he
smells it and rolls it over and over
with his nose. Then. after he has sat
isfied his curiosity, he walks away and
leaves the beetle to go its way if he
has not put it out of commission with
the strenuouSness of the investigation.

ONEY RELICS OF LOST RACE
Network OF, Canals All That Remains
of Early Dweilers in the
Arizona Deserts.

BY far the most interesting remains
of the lost people of Arizona are their
network of canals which prevail
through the valleys. The longest is
the one tapping the ella river and
which supplied with water the ancient
city, now marked with the one stand
ing building This is the Casa Grande,
about which so much has been written
and which has so excited much inter
est among psychologists in the last ten
years.
The volume of water taken out by
this. canal must have been immense,
for it supported millions of acres. In
most places the canal has been filled
with drifting sand but its course is
easily traced. Engineers who located
the Maricopa canal made use of the
old Aztec ditch and today water runs
over its pebbly bottom just as it did
1000 or 5000 years ago.
For miles and miles around mounds
tell the tale of houses destroyed by
the ravages of time Phoenix was
built on the ruins of this ancient city
and there relics frequently are found
of this ancient civilization.
