Even so. it's the .,looks, you want IN MIL {

LIKE EACH OTHERS COMPANY
Stones Found in Nevada Seem to Have
a Distinct Aversion to Being
Separated.

In Nevada are found curious min
efal specimens known as "seciable
stones" No better name could be
given them, since when a few are dis
tributed over a level floor two or three
feet apart they will begin TO move
toward one another to common cen
ter with an alacrity that is ludicrous.
Campers first noticed these stones.
They had used wrapping paper for a
tablecloth and weighted the corners
with some of the stones spread over
the level top of a boulder. A few mo-
ments later one of the men noticed
that the paper was Tapping in the
breeze and that the four or five stones
were huddIed in a group in the middle
of the paper like Il nest full of eggs.
lie thought the wind was responsible,
Strengthened them and added more
stones.
The next time he looked around the
stones, were back in the heap again.
Once more he replaced the stones and
sat down to watch them. They began
to roll and hitch along toward one an
other again until they were in a pile.

When Demetra Vaka, author Of
"Haremlik'' and in the Shadow of
Islam," first came TO America she was
governess for a year TO the two little
grandsons of ]. Fenimore Cooper.
The children had been brought up
with the utmost reverence for their
famous grandfather. and had uncon-
seiously imbibed the belief that all the
worlds best literature was the off
spring of his pen.
Something was said in the elder
boys hearing one day about one of the
books of the Bible, with some refer
ence TO its authorship, and the boy
looked up at his governess with a
startled face.
"Who wrote the Bible?" he demand
ed. as one whose first faith has been
shaken.
Demetra Vaka explained as best as
She could about the various books, and
the boy sighed, still bit incredulous.

other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and

lust LEAVE 1T TO TERRY
Harvard Authorities and Students
Rely on Memory of colorcd
Human Encyclopedia.

Noaone knows how he does 1t. He
doesn't know himself. Yet Terry never
forgets a. face or a name. He never
took a memory course. He never did
any special mental gymnastics TO de-
velop his memory. He has no theories
on the association of ideas. He has
no little tricks, such as remembering
mans name is Carpenter because he
is built like a lath. He simply re-
members, that's all.
Terry is a roIy-poly little colored
man who for 10 years has been the
human encyclopedia of the recorders
office at Harvard college. Every Har-
ward man since 1900 knows Terry. The
remarkable thing is that Terry knows
every one of them. More than 10000
men have come and gone in TerryS
time. Terry remembers them all.
His extraordinary faculty for re-
Numbering names and places caused
his being installed in the position of
living encyclopedia, not only on all
IIarvard men, but on Harvard history
generally. When members of the fac
ulty want to know the date of the fire
in Weld hall, or when the course Gov
ernment 7B was started, or the names
of the most recently elected overseers,
o. the score of the Observation-Disclosures
baseball game ten years ago, or any
miscellaneous bit of Harvardiana they
don't take the time to look it up. They
ask Terry. And Terry always knows.

TUESDAY, JUNE %. 1920.
now PRICES ROsE-AND FELL

Interesting conclusions may
be drawn from recently COM
pleted analysis of wholesale and
i retail prices and wages for the
years 1860 to 1872 in which
tendencies strikingly like those OF
the present day are revealed,
showing finally a slump in prices
which, economists and students
of market conditions say, soon
may be expected if history is to
repeat itself.
The figure of 100 is taken as
the basic level of all three in
1860. There was a gradual rise
during 1861 and 1862 and 1868,
and at the end of the last year
wholesale prices were at $50; re-
tail prices at 40; and wages at
1870 During the year 1861 came
the sharpest rise and wholesale
prices jumped to the 2l0 mark,
reaching the peak i'll January,
1865. Meanwhile both retail
prices and wages had taken a
more gradual rise, the former
standing at l65 in January and
wages being at $50.
In April, 1865, the war ended
and there came a sudden drop in
wholesale prices, which fell to
100 in July of that year and then
rallied to $50 by the end of the
year. Retail prices and wages
continued a steady rise through
out the year; not being affected
by the end of the war and reach
ed the respective levels of 10
and los at the end of 1865.
In the year following the close
of the war. or 1866. there was a
marked variation in the trend of
the three. Wholesale prices huc-
tuated rather violently but with
a constant downward trend. and
they continued this downward
course with occasional sharp RI
lies for seven years following the
war, scoring a net loss of from
five to ten points a year, until in
1872. just prior to the great panic.
they were at 1870 or just so points
above the pre-war figure.
If history is repeating itself the
man who now denies himself
useless luxuries and puts his
money in government securities
or in other standard investments
will be on a sound financial basis
when the present troublesome
days are over.

How far history is to be trusted is
a question. Victor Hugo says all his

bellished. Shelly calls Herodatus' en-
