THIS TOMB BUILT 70 LAST
That He Claims Can Defy Time
and the Elements.

The love and generation which the
ancients held for their dead was shown
in the lavish methods used in their
aboye-ground burials. The Egyptians
planned and built the Pyramids for
the protection of their dead, and today
these well preserved bodies are still
found-thousands of years after their
interment. In the beginning of tire
Christian era graves were hewn out
of the solid rock, and only in the pres
ent decade have these special prepa-
rations been allowed to drop out Of
thought, and 'in-the-earth' burial has
taken the place of the perfect protec-
tion of the "aboye-ground interment'
The average person does not realize
how little is the protection afforded
body placed in the earth-no mat
ter how well il is incased in marble
brick, metal etc Experience has
proven that water will always seek
an opening in the ground, with the
result that 1t collects and gains ac-
cess to the grave battle-ground"
This ''yault-movement," as this new
est style of tomb is called is the in
vention Of e. NJ Vlquesney of Ameri-
Gus, Ga
The designer says that this monu-
ment, while costing no more than any
good cemetery monument carries pro-
lection and modern methods Of in
terment for from one to four bodies.
Interment can be made at any time
easily and quietly, and, above all,
without any depressing effects Of
damp graves and mounds Of fresh
earth. A hidden door in the end of
the monument opens easily, at1ordine
access to the dry, white marble inte-
rior--the caSket Is placed therein and
Theoretically seH'ed--the door is again
closed and automatically locked, and
the interment is completed.
The principal claim Mr.. Viquesney
makes for his vault-HOnument is its
permanency. He says that the heavy
outside walls, the reinforced concrete
middle shell tying the outer 10 the
inner shea Of this structure, and the
waterproof inner marble burial crypts,
all above ground and securely tied 10
the immense solid foundation are so
combined and huit that the tomb is
time-proof An upheaval IF the earth
that moved the foundation to an angle
of folfy-fye degrees would not the
inventor claims, affect the solidity of
the structure.

FOR SCIENTISTS TO PUZZLE
Age-Old Question AS to the Develop
ment of Men and Animals From
the Beginning

The Waplti, or American elk, was
widely distributed over North Amer
lea 500 years ago But the northern
limit of its natural habitat appears
TO have been, and still is, In southern
British Columbia.
Leaving this bOrderland of wapti-
land and travelling northward to Beh-
ring sea no other trace Is found In
northern Siberia, Manchuria and Mon
golia there is no trace Of the species,
or any variations of it, but in far
western Mongolia and along the bor-
ders of Turkestan and Sungaria, it oc-
ours again In the Altai mountains.
The elk as If he might have been
transported from Montana, the only
perceptible difference being a more
reddish coloripg Of the coat of the
Altai elk
The gap of 1000 miles contains no
trace of the living animal and so far
as is known, no bones.
This has again raised the question
among men of science whether man
and the animals spread from some
common center, or whether there
were separate Developments Of crea-
ton in each continental division of the
earth.

THE continued decrease at all of the
state penal institutions and asylums is
a matter for speculation. The popua-
ton OF the state prison has gone down
from 900 to 666, and at the Green Bay
Reformatory the decrease has been ll5
the last year. While the two state in.
sane hospitals show slight increase,
the county asylums show a marked
decrease. Prohibition may not depop-
ulate our asylums and prisons entirely
but there is no longer a doubt that its
effect is being noted in the large de-
crease in the number of occupants of
these institutions.
