REFUSED HAND OF SULTAN
Offer of Marriage by Ruler Of sulu

Roosevelt,

The Moro Is not all bad He has
his good points. There has never been
case where a Moro has murdered an
American woman, and there are MANY
American women in Moroland. This
abstinence, however, is not due to-
Moro chivalry, but to the fact that in
the Moro thought women have no.
souls.
Not that the believed soullessness.
OF the sex keeps the Moro from be-
ing ladies' man. In fact, he is in
clined to be very gallant. The IA

Roosevelt, some years ago (and

self to Conditions.

These Is nothing else like the els
plant. He has come down to -as
through the ages, surviving the con-
dittons which killed off his earlier con
temporaries, and he now adapts HIM
self perfectly to more different con-
disions than any other animal in Az
s-ica, Carl Akeley of the American Mu-
,ee7m If Natural History writes In the
Worlds Work.
He can eat anything that is green or
even hsS been green, just so long as
there is enough of it. He can get
his water from the aloe plants on the
arid plains or dig well in the sand
of e dry ri~sr with his trunk and
fore feet. and drink there, or he is
equally at home living half in the
swamps of better A~atered regions. he
is at home on the low, hot plains OF
the. seacoast at the squator or on the
cool slopes of ken<a and Elgon. 80
far as know he suffers from no con-
tagious diseases and has no enemies
except man. There are elephants on
kenia that have never lain down for
a hundred years. Some of the plains
elephants do rest lying down, but no
one ever saw a Kenia elephant lying
down or any evidence that they do liz
down at rest. The elephant is q
good traveller. On good ground a
good horse can outrun him, but on
bad ground the horse would have no
! chance and there are few animals
! that can cover more ground in q day

| prising agility and move through the
/ forest as quietly as a rabbit.

one can hardly conceive Of present

Yet the discovery of this valuable ma

accident, Floyd W Parsons writes in

AS the story runs, q merchant ship
laden with natron. brittle white car
Donate of sodium. was driven ashore at
the mouth of the River ReluS in Phe-
nicia. The crew prepared their food
on the beach, supporting their kettles
on piles made up Of Humps Of the ma
iron. Later the sailors were amazed
to discover transparent masses of
stone among the cinders of their fires.
The heat had melted the soda and the
silceous sand together, with the result
that crude variety of glass WITS
formed If the early records are cor
rect the art of glass manufacture was

TRAVELLING BY STAGE COACH
tonic, Texas, and San Diego,
Calf, Was an Event.

A poster advertising overland stage
travel between San Antonio, Tex, and
San Diego, Calf, in 1850, has been
found, which makes Interesting read
ing these days of fast and palatial
rail accommodation. Overland to the
Pacific" is the heading attracting pub
lie attention to the line. The poster
calls attention to the fact that this
line has been in successful operation
for three years, and will convey pas
sengers sin new coaches drawn by six
mules over the entire length Of our
line, excepting the Colorado desert of
100 miles, which we cross on mule
back"
According to the advertisement
coaches left semi-monthly from each
end, trips being started on the 9th
and oath Of the month at 6 a. m. At
tention was called to the fact that an
armed escort accompanied the coach
for the protection Of the mails and
the passengers through the Indian
country" 1t was stipulated that pas
sengers were provided with food dur
Ing the trip, except where the coach
stopped at public houses enroute, when
the passenger was expected to pay
for his own meals. The fare between
San Antonio and San Diego was $500,
with less amounts charged between
those stations and other points, such
as Fort Clark, Tucson and Ell Paso,
While 1t was announced that the fare
to intermediate stations was 15 cents
a mile.

BEWILDERING TO THE MIND
Everyday Measurements of Science
That Are Almost Beyond Com
prehension of the Layman.

One great difficulty in the study Of
astronomy is to comprehend the I'M
mensity of the distances and sizes in
volved. For instance, we can form no
conception of the size or distance of
the sun.
Suppose there was spherical shell
Of the diameter of the sun. Suppose
a great genie should drop into this
shell, every second, night and day, a
ball the size of the earth. How long
would 1t take to fill the shell? Would
it take an hour, a day, or a week? In
fact, 1t would take two weeks, and
when full the shell would contain more
than 100000 earths.
Tie distance to the sun is $4,000, 600
miles. How long would 1t take can.
non hall to reach the sun, If shot from
the earth and continued on its course
at a uniform velocity? In order not
to underestimate the distance some
might say year. In fact 1t would
than 100000 earths.
Automatically speaking, the above
distance is very short The sun is our
nearest star. Strain the imagination
by trying to comprehend the velocity
of light which would pass seven times
around the earth in one second Of
time. Now stagger the brain by trying
to think of stars, so remote from us
that million years are required for
their light to cross the enormous abvss
that separates them from US. Think
of 1t! When that ray Of light, which
now enters the eye, started on its
course, perhaps there was no life on
this earth.-John Candee Dean In the
Indianapolis News.
