published by the National Geographic
Society. Hitherto Africa has not fig
ured at all in medieval history. It
was called the Ozark continent" when
Stanley and Livingstone penetrated 1t
about century ago.
The letters recently discovered were
written In 1447 by Antonio Malfante,
a Genoese citizen, believed to be the
only Christian the Jews allowed to
penetrate their trade region. They
were written from Timbuktu and
Touat. Tfmbuktu was the Chicago of
the West African plains, and Touat
the center of camel caravan traffic
that exchanged the wheat and barley
Of Egypt for the powdered gold Of
Timbuktu and the precious salt from
Teghazza. Touat was an oasis con
tanning from $50 to 200 villages, and
each village had chief.
The civilization of that date was
advanced enough for the residents to
take census Of their populations.
This was done when the people OF
Timbuktu and a rival city. Gao, were
numbered to decide wager. Bust
ness was done on a large scale.

Perfect Human FIaurs.

There is much difference of opinion
on the subject of perfect human meas
urements, but according to Professor
Sergeant, one of the best known au-
thorities on the health OF the Ameri-
can woman. the following measure
ments constitute the perfect figure:
Height, $50 inches; breadth Of neck,
3.S inches; girth of neck. III inches !;
breadth of shoulders, Ia inches !;
breadth Of waist. SO inches; girth OF
waist, 246 inches; breadth of hips,
12i inches; girth of hips. 1854 inches ;
girth Of calf, 1873 inches: girth of up
per arm. 101 inches; girth of thigh,
PA Inches, and of forearm, 90 inches
Many other authorities insist that
woman should measure In height 5
feet five inches, or an inch and one
half taller than Professor Sargeant's
perfect woman.

ANCIENT CITY is cHAN-CHAN
Today Nothing but Mass Of Ruins,
but Was FIourishing Before Pr
xarro RavIshed Peru.

Chan-Chan is not, as the name
would Indicate, place In China. 1t
Is one of the oldest cities In Peru. or
in the world. The Chimus who built
Chan, are supposed to have been
an elderly race when the Incas were
yet barbarians. After time the In
cas- became civilized and powerful and
captured Chan.Chan. Then Pizarro
came 10 plumber and wreck the city
and massacre the Inhabitants. SO
much of the Chimus' history is dC~
Quoted from the remains of Chan-Chau
and old Spanish narratives.
The people who inhabited the old
metropolis were moon worshipers.
The moon. they said. was the most
worthy deity of nature. for II shone
not only at night but also In the day,
whereas the sun could shine in the
day only. The sea was supposed to
be under the special protection of the
moon. because the latter controlled
the tides. Images of fish and other
sea creatures and temples to both
moon and sen were therefore built by
the Chimps and many have been un-
covered ia the ruins of their city.
Chan-Chan has since the time of Pr
zarro been heap of wreckage. There
q palaces, workshops, factories and
great battered pyramids built up In
terraces and surmounted by buildings.
These are the mounds in which the
Chimu dead once lay. Like the Egyp-
tians, these people buried with their
dead many articles OF their personal
property From one Of these mounds
a Spanish adventurer obtained So
100000 worth OF gold and silver. For
many years Chan-Chau yielded to the
Spanish conQuerors fabulous sums Of
gold.

Ancient Grape sIrup.

That the making of grape strip Is
not new thing Is shown by the writ
sngs of ancient historians. Galen, tue
Greek physician and writer. who lived
In the second century after Christ,
says that "good many Asiatic wines
were stored In bottles which were
hung In the corner Of firepIaces, where,
by evaporation. they became dry. This
process was called fumarium." The
Greeks had two kinds of wine, "pro-
toplon." or first juice Of the grape be-
fore pressing. and "deuterIon," or
pressed juice. The Romans called
them "vinum primarium" and "vinum
secundarium. The juice before fer
msats don had started was called
"mustum." After this must, or juice,
had been through a heating process.
1t was known as ''fruitum." and when,
after long heating, 1t was reduced to
one-half or one-third it's original vol
ume 1t was called "sapa.' This was
equivalent to grape strip and was
used by the Romans on their bread.

New York university has come into
possession of an original photograph
of the first janltor of that Institution,
equipped with the gong and stick with
which he called the students to classes.
When the university was founded, Jan
uary 8, 1880. and students met In the
original building back Of the city hall,
there was, of course, no electric bell

attendance at. recitation was shunted
on the ianitor.
Promptly on the hour he would

ceased his lecture and the students
moved on to the next room on the pro

CEDARS MANY CENTURIES OLD
That Mueh Sure. but It Is Impossible
to Tell Age OF Lebanon's
Famous Trees.

The age OF the famous cedars Of

solomon there can be no doubt, as {
was from them tSat he obtained the
wood for building the temple. Whether
any Of those now standing were there
IN SoIomons time Is a matter of specu-
latiOn.
At the present day the grove CON
talns $50 trees. Of which only IL are of
large size. It is in the center of a great
basin in the mountains. 5000 feet
above the sea A Maronite chapel is
on a mound in the shade of the trees,
and here mass is said and on the feast
of the TRANSPORTATION great festival
takes place
Several efforts to calculate the age
of the cedars now standing have been
made by counting the rings in the
heart wood Of those that have fallen.
These estimates, according to Prof.
A. Henry Of the Royal College of Sci
ences for Ireland, in an article in Coun-
try Life. vary from 2.230 years to $500
years, although 1t may be that aey are
