AND He DIDN'T COME BACK
Man Looking for House Seemingly
Had No Desire TO Meet the Mid
dIeweieht Champion.

Excuse me, ma'am," said a gentle
man, as his ring at the door was an
swered by the lady of the house, "but
is this house for rent?"
do you see any sign up?" she an
swered very tartly.
mo, ma'am, but I didn't know but
what it was for rent I pass and re-
pass the house quite a number of
times, and 1 am rather taken with it.
Do you rent the place yourself?"
Eyes, sir"
And could you tell me what 1t
rents for?"
I'VE pay thirty-fve dollars
month";" she answered.
"Ahem, thirty-five dollars. Ell? Why,
I am willing to pay forty-ive dollars.
Would you have any objections to my
going to your landlord"
"You had better come in and see
my husband first"
"Why should I see your husband,
ma'am?"
Because he is the middleweight
champion of the world, and after he
gets through with you I don't think
you would even want to pay ten dol
lars month for the house. I'll tell
him to expect you this evening"
The man has not returned yet. He
probably never viii. He wants to rent
a house, but he don't want to meet

BURIED UNDER MINE TAlLlNGS
City Of Douthst, in Oklahoma, Over
whelmed When Spout Deluged
II With Crushed Flint.

In the zinc mining district of Ok
lahoma, practically unknown even by
the residents of the state in which it
lies, is the buried city of Douthat
Surrounding it is one Of the richest
mining camps in the world. The Mon
treal. probably one of the most famous
zinc mines, is in the city. as are also
the properties of several Of the lead
ing zinc mining companies of the Uni
ted States.
The city was not buried by sud
den flow Of molten lava, as We're the
cities of Pompeii. but by the "tailingS"
of the mines OF the camp because, it
is said. of differences between owners
of the mines, and merchants and land
owners of the town. One day the
falling spouts of one of the great
mines was turned on the town. delug-
ing it with crushed flint. The people
moved their homes and business places
in mad rush to escape the downpour
Of dust and rock particles Stores,
cottages, barns and tents had to be
moved, and now where once stood the
thriving city IS an immense pile of
chat" containing thousands of car
loads. One street and a few dozen
homes only We're spared, and here the
thriving business of the little town is
carried on, the once prosperous bust
ness district being now buried under
an immense mountain of crushed
rock.

NO SLEEP WITHOUT DREAMS
Them, Though We May Not Al
ways Remember 1t.

Dreaming is no vain and idle slug
CARDS game. Solomon to the contrary
notwithstanding. It's because you
need to dream that you go to bed
nights, You've probably been labor
: ing under the absolute impression that
1t is for the sake of rest that you
spend third of your life in sleep.
j: absurd" says Andre Tridon, New
: York psychoanalyst, according to the
Evening Sun of that city. every
branch of your complex, busy organ
ism is on the job "a hours day. Your
heart never rests; neither do your
lungs nor liver nor brain cells. But
you do need to dream, because only so
can the ordinary man relieve all his
urges.
Napoleon Bonaparte had things all
his own way for spell. and just so
long he guided the worlds destiny in
no sleepy style without being abed
more than two hours a night But
when the world baked at gratifying
longer his will to dominate, damned
up his ego urge in st. Helena, he slept
ten hours a day. That is, he dreamed
that long daily.
70 sleep is to dream, whether or not
you remember anything about it next
morning. You dream continuously, at
an amazing speed rate, all the while
you're unconscious, and every dream
acts out, dramatizes, one of your
wishes, gratifies an urge.

SAVAGES WORE BODY ARMOR
Gilbert Islanders Used That Form of
Protection, but II Was Limited
to Leaders.

Only one tribe in the South Pacific
islands ever rose TO the height of in
venting armor 10 be used in their war
fare. But even this tribe, the Gilbert
islanders, turned out only a few suits.
owing TO the work entailed in the
manufacture. Francis Dickie says, in
the Scientific American, that the suits
were limited in number, and that
every village was the proud possessor
of one. At the outbreak of conflict
between villages, not all the inhabi-
tants went to war, but the most
doughty warrior was dressed in the
village armor and sent against the
champion of the rival place.
The brown-colOred fabric covering
the body and legs, which formed the
Gilberts' armor, was made out of coir
string taken from the husk of the
coconut, so closely woven as to make
a protection stronger than board, and
having greater lightness to recommend
it. a further breastplate, invulnerable
to any native weapon, was made from
the dried skin of the stingaree, or ray
fish, which dried as hard as metal.
In the last few years peace has set
tied over the Gilberts and the armor
has ceased to be manufactured. The
few suits in existence have all been
seized by collectors of rare articles.

The Appian Way.

The Appian way is the Oldest and
most famous Of the Roman military
roads. 1t was commenced by Appius
Claudius Caecus, while censor, in 312
B. c., and originally extended from the
Porta Capena at Rome to Capua, a
distance Of 120 miles. In 30 B. c., the
Appian way was continued to Brum-
disium, 800 miles from Rome. BY
means of its branches it connected
Rome with all southern Italy. Dur
ing the rule Of Pope Plus * (1S46-
1879 a part of this road. extending
about eleven miles out of Rome, was
laid bare. 1t is remarkable for its
pavement, which consists of large hex
agonal blocks of basalt; but more
especially for the ruins of the once
magnificent tombs that line its side
The central part of the roadway, 16
feet wide, was designed for the pas
sage of infantry, While the two side
passages, each also 16 feet wide, were
used for horsemen and vehicles. The
Romans called the Appian way Regina
Viarum Queen of Roads,.

Mems love of color can be traced
to the dawn of history. Perhaps the
rainbow offered itself as a color card
to the Babylonians, Egyptians and
the Chinese, for history reveals the
fact that centuries before the Chris
tian era color played an important
part in their art and architecture. In
Egypt, water colors made of powdered
pigments, mixed with gums and water,
were used in the temples and on the
monuments of the ancient dynasties.
Specimens of Egyptian art color work
are exhibited in the University OF
Pennsylvania Museum of Art; the ear
Hest date back about 1000 years.

Among the natural guardians of the
trees are the woodpeckers, which
gather their food as they creep round
the trunks and branches. As the food
of the woodpecker is nearly as abund-
ant in winter as in summer, they are
seldom migratory. They never forage
in fiocks, like some of the granivorous
birds whose food is more plentiful
but scatter out over wide areas, and
thus better their fare. They bear the
same relation to other birds that take
their food from trees as snipes and
woOdcocks bear to thrushes and
quails-that is they bore into the
wood as the snipe bores into the
earth, while thrushes and quails seek
their sustenance on the surface of
the ground.

Shakespeare as Poacher

In the description of the amenities
of the Shakespeare hotel, Stratford-
on-AvOn, which was recently put up at
auction, the story is revived that
Shakespeare came before Sir Thomas
Lucy on a charge of stealing deer
from Charlotte park. The charge is
open to the comment that in the time
of Elizabeth there was no deer park
at Charlotte. To this it is retorted that
deer were to be found in many parks
not described as deer parks. AS to all
which it may be suggested that
Shakespeare may have been brought
before Lucy for stealing any deer
within his jurisdiction.

Science In Warfare.

A novel use In war of sensitive
heat-regstering apparatus served in
detecting hostile raiding parties NOV
ing at night in No Mans Land. IN a
paper to the American Physical So
ciety, S. o. Holman described the re-
ceiver as a thermopile placed at the
focus of 14-inch parabolic mirror. and
connected to a D'Arsonval galvanom-
eter. This device proved capable of
detecting man 600 feet away by the
heat of his body. Besides thus Going

Built to Withstand Arctic Riuor

In a New England shipyard work
has been begun on the Bowdoin, an
auxiliary schooner which in 1921 is to
carry a small expedition to the frozen
North, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. The party, numbering only six.
will be led by Donald B. Mcmillan, re-
membered as Peary's lieutenant on
the expedition that reached the North
pole, and will have as its object the
charting of the 1000 miles of unex-
plored coast line along the western
shore of Baffin land. The little
Bowdoin is to be modification of the
Gloucester fishing type, and will be
only 81 feet long. Obviously it will
be small for such perilous work. It is
being built and equipped, however,
with unusual care. The oak planking
will be sheathed with ironwood to re-
sist the abrasion of the ice, and will
be lined with thick insulating materi-
al.

Wealth is Not Always Happiness.

Often happiness is forced upon US
as through i'll fortune. Many a man
of wealth finds life duh and insipid in
the midst Of luxury and crowds. 9th
ers have really begun to live with the
loss of their wealth. History is not
without examples of men and women
who have renowned their wealth to
find joys in doing things as men. The
story is told of a woman who had all
the money she could use and still was
not really happy. III fortune reduced
her wealth and she was compelled to
work for the support of her children.
Her friends thought work degrading
to her, but she declared that she has
never enjoyed life so much as since
the loss of her money. She is putting
herself into the money she earns.
