That under the foot of the rainbow
The fairies have hidden their gold
Forever eluding but tempting.

And over the hills and the valleys
We follow the glory-in vain.
Though we stand where we thought
it had rested.
Yet distant it ever appears;
For what seems the rainbow to others

TOOK THE KISS SERIOUSLY
According to French Scientist, the Ro-
mans Had Three Distinct Ways
Of Specifying II.

Or. Emile Maiespine, a scientist OF
Lyons, France, and a contributor on
physiological subjects TO leading
French periodicals, has written an ar
ticle for the Forum in which he traces
the development Of the kiss as social
custom from earliest history.
.'The first manifestations Of the kiss
encountered in literature" says Doc
tor Malespine, "are those which are
furthest removed from the kiss OF
homage, appear rather as ceremonies.
than as natural and spontaneous ex-
pressions of sentiment. The Bible
shows us pagans kissing their idols.
The Greeks and Romans had a special
veneration for statues; there was at
Agrigenta, according to Cicero, a mar
velous statue of Hercules, of which
the lips and the chin were. completely
worn away by the devotlons of the
faithful. faa ts'sH
"The Romans, as well MS the Greeks,
knew the kiss in all It's perfections.
Their physiological wealth In this re-
gard, is an added proof. Without
counting the diminutiyes. they had
three words specifying the kiss: The
osculum corresponds to what we
should call the kiss of friendship;
the basium, more tender, was the kiss
of relatives, and Of husband and wife ;
finally, the savium applied to the
kisses Of lovers" 81,

OLD MYSTERY OF THE SEA
What Became Of Fine Liner Presi-
dent Which Disappeared In
the Year Sts4f? ~ -

Among the modern sea mysteries
none is more bathing than the vanish
ing Of the liner President In 1S41.
The vessel was the latest word In lux
urIous ocean travel, having but lately
been launched. And that day in March
when she sailed from New York for
Liverpool every vessel In the North
river paid tribute TO her size and su-
periority. She was 26S feet long and
OF 1890 tons.
Early in April reports began to
filter into America from Liverpool that
the President had not arrived, and as
the days sped. on far into the summer
the agony Of suspense on both sides
the ocean grew. On her passenger
list had been the names Of many profni-
nent persons. among Whom were the
celebrated comedian, Tyrone Powers.
George G. Goodman and the duke of
Devonshire. A few more than 100
passengers were aboard the President.
Whether the President foundered
in some violent gale, was sunk or
crushed by icebergs. or was destroyed
by fire. no man to this day has been
able to tell, for not even a splinter. of
wreckage was ever reported seen.

Give Credit to Egyptian.

No one knows who wrote the first
book, but the claim is made that the
worlds first great work came from
the pen Of an Egyptian named Athletes.
1t was history of his own nation
written In pip b. G. The Latins,
who exceIled in literature long before
any Of their neighbors. had thought
OF the publishing business, were gal
liant enough to ascribe the inspiration
to Europa. daughter of Agenor, king
OF Phoenicia. who lived in 1904 b. G.
Just what they wrote under her influ-
ence in those days is not recorded. II
is certain that cadnus brought Phoe-
nician letters into Greece in 1883 B. c.,
and there is enough evidence of pub
lished books during these early days
to lead one to the conclusion that writ
ing as business or an art dates back
into the earlier era of Egyptian and
Phoenician civilization.

MYSTERY FOR MANY YEARS
Fascination in Stories Told Of the
"Lost" Son Of the Unfortunate
Marie Antolnette.

One OF the several persOnages who
cropped up 10 claim the French
throne as the lost daupLin after the
guillotining of Louis XVI and Marie
Ant0inette, was an American, one
Eleozor Williams. missionary among
the Indians.
Williams produced alleged evidence
showing that he had been brought
from France as child of 10 years
and placed In the keeping of an Indian
halfbreed at Tieonderoga, N. Y.
The American "dauphin" never at
tempted to gain official recognition
but his followers put out a flood of
literature. Several new books on
Williams and his claims have been
published quite recently
The question of the lost, dauphin
has bad France guessing for more
thnn 100 years. or from that day In
1905 when the mutllated body OF a
boy, 10, ostensibly the dauphin, was
taken from the Temple prison In
Paris. But half of France refused
to believe. So every so often, in after
years, when a claimant arose styling
himself the heir to the throne, there
were always plenty TO welcome him.
There are said to have been about 40
lost dauphins" in the 80 years fol-
lowing the death Of Louis and Marie

Of the method Of construction adopted
by Noah in building his ark. On the
contrary, the specifications are given
in detail in the Bible. limitations of
it have been attempted now and then
in recent times. Thus. In the year
1909 a Dutch merchant named Peter
Pansen built at Hoorn a ship on the
same model. though not Of correspond
ing size. 1t was 100 feet long, 20 feet
broad and u feet deep. The vessel
was found to be remarkably we'll

would hold one-third more lading than
other ships of like size without re
quiring more hands to work it. Much
more recently several so-called "feu-

model of the ark In Denmark.
