one part of the Pacific then In another.
One Of the greatest regions of vol
canic disturbance has been in and near
corner of the Pacific, where that body
Of water meets the Indian ocean.
Volcanic-made in the first place, and
constantly being remade by them, Java
has more volcanoes than any area Of
its size in the world. Estimates of
the active and extinct craters range
from 100 to $50. Everywhere in Java,
in the huge crater lakes, in assures
that now are river beds even in an
cient temples, half finished when in
terrupted by some fiery convulsion, are
evidences of cataclysmic forces-such
Turbulent forces as now are in con-
tinuous hysteria in the Valley of the
Ten Thousand Smokes In Alaska, and
break their crGsted surface cage in
termittently in Java.
The "treacherous Klot," as the ma
tives call it, all but wiped out the
town of Britar, but even its devasta-
ton, as reported to the state depart
ment, was mild compared to the vio-
lent upheaval of KrakatOa in 1888.
Then mother nature turned anarchist
and planted gargantuan Internal ma
chine on the doorstep of Java.
Krakatoa is little island in the
Sunda strait, between Sumatra and
Java. Australians, as far from the
explosion as New York is from Ell
Paso, heard the terrific detonation;
more than half the island was blotted
out, parts of it were flung aloft four
times as high as the worlds highest
mountain, and to touch bottom below
the waters surface where most of the
island had been, henceforth required
plumb line twice as long as the
height of the Washington monument.
Skyscraper waves flooded adjacent is
lands and rolled halfway around the
earth. Every human eardrum heard,
though it may not have registered, the
air waves as they vibrated three or
four times around the earth.
Krakatoa levied smaller toll in
human life than Klot, because of it's
isolation, and many of the 35,O0O
deaths from Krakatoas eruption We're
at far-distant points by drowning.
An eruption anywhere on the island
means disaster, for Java, about equal
in era to New York state, supports a
population greater than the combined
populations of the Empire state and
the four other most populous states
in the Union-Pennsylvani Illinois,
Ohio and Texas.
In the native folklore are innumer-
able stories of the earth opening up
to swallow a dancing girl. Such tales
betoken another physical feature of
the island fraught with human trag-
edy. Not only has 1t steaming vents,
spouting geysers, sulphur lakes, but
great chasms open and close, and they
have been known to swallow villages.

clever trimming of an embroidered
band somehow manages to simulate a
short cape. The scarf ends, and also
those of the long and narrow girdle,
are finished with ball trimming.
The cape-coat, or mantle, at the right
is another example of skillful design
ing in which the body of the garment,
with dolman sleeves cut in it, is set
onto a deep cape. Turned-back cuffs,
ornamented with rows of machine
stitching, bespeak the most pairstak-
ing tailoring, and rows of covered but
tons defining the shoulder line bear
out this testimony. The scarf ends
support handsome and dignified silk
tassels. Both coats have inconspicu-
GUS and practical slit pockets and
both are elegant and graceful.

THE LONG, LONG TRAIL OF
THE GYPSY

Now that the weather is becoming
mild again, some fine day you will
discover a camp Of gypsies near your
doorstep, and wonder where in the
world they came from. The world has
been wondering for many century
whence the original gypsies came.
George Borrow relates that the first
gypsies made their appearance in Mol
davia in 1417, and no one seems to be
very certain in regard to their place
of origin. The original 5000 increased
to formidable proportions in a century
or two, and Maria Theresa and Joseph
II tried to civilize them, with no sue
cess.
In the early days each little band
had captain whom they honOred with
the title of count. To secure the COW
eted position this leader had to be
valiant and courageous in the pillag-
Ing expeditions for food and sagacious
and crafty enough to settle their dis
putes. For this he was allowed third
of anything that the band stole.
Despite their marauding tendencies,
and their more or less contemptuous
attitude toward people not "of the
blood" they have a code of morals
which contains many excellent require
ments. A true gypsy must not have a
quarrelsome disposition, and he never
reveals the secrets of the brotherhood.
Though they make the rest of mankind
their lawful prey, they are capable of
great sacrifices for each other. They
pledge themselves never to marry out
of their own sect, nor will they teach
their language to anyone not gypsy
by blood or adoption.
Their daredevil spirit perhaps has
had passing influence on most of the
countries in which these wanderers
have lived. At least England is ac-
credited with having contracted her
love of horse racing from them, and
they are nearly always to be found
among her jockeys and in attendance
upon her Derbys.
Pretending knowledge of the meta
physical and dabbling In fortune telling
have always been within the province
of the gypsy women. They have
claimed that they could witch away
troublesome ailments Of the heart and
have compounded queer love philters
which instead of imbuing the unfortun-
ate taker with steadiness of aim with
his love arrows, have poisoned his di-
gestive tract.
But they realize the monetary value
OF the myth concerning their ability
to divine the future. and have since the
beginning Of their history capitalized
it. In Spain where a large proportion
of the race now lives, travellers say
that they find neatly whitewashed
caves lighted by electricity, and that
even gypsy royalty will caper and ca
reer around in fantastic dances for
the coins Of casual visitor.

COMMON CARRIERS-AND
A FEW NOT so COMMON

Tractors are crawling over the snow
covered fields of northern Greenland
carrying the supplies of the Lane Koch
expedition. This novel use of new
born vehicle recalls that some of the
oldest transportation methods still are
employed in regions whose civilization
is older and higher than that of the
Greenland Eskimo.
The OK cart still serves the Southern
"darky" in North Carolina, Georgia,
and Alabama, as well as in other por-
tions Of the South. as his coach and
four for the Sunday "go-to-meeting." !"
During the week the stolid beast plows
tobacco and cotton fields. In India
bullocks hitched to wagon with an
ornate beehive shaped or elongated
covering, not unlike the picturesque
tobacco schooner, convey the Burmese
man and his family along the road to
Mandalay. Nor does this animal cease
being means Of transportation upon
his death. The natives blow up his

TEMPLE STONES THAT
MAY BECOME HEARTH
STONES

Gable reports recently stated that
Marlborough Rocks. one of the best
known of the so-called Druid Circles
of England, would be broken up and
used by company for building homes.
The reports bring to mind what
might be termed the flight for sur
vival' of the monuments and works of
art of past ages against the activities
of later generations.
During the dark ages priceless mar
BILE statues by Praxiteles and other
Greek masters of sculpture were
burned to make lime. In northern
Africa and Asia Minor, in numerous
places where classical ruins are found,
beautifully chiseled stOnes-physical
symbols of 'the glory that was Greece
and the grandeur that was Rome
have been built into the uncouth huts
of the natives. The smaller stones
from Druid Circles" and avenues"
lying on the surface of the ground,
ready quarried, have long fallen prey
to nearby peasants in all the coun-
tries in which they occur. Even the
Stonehenge, on Salisbury Plain, Eng
land, famous as the greatest of the
supposed Druid temples and one of
the most striking of the uninscribed
monuments of the world, has not en-
tirely escaped the hand of the vandal.
The larger monoliths are too massive
for easy removal, but some of the
smaller stones have disappeared and
are reported to have been built into
bridges and mill dams of the adjacent
countryside.
Relatively small stone circles and
parallel rows of mOnOliths known as
avenues" are numerous in England
Wales, Scotland and Ireland. They
also are found in numbers in western
Europe, especially in France, and to
lesser degree in northern Africa, and
In southern Asia as far east as India
Among them, however, the compare
lively few great groups stand out
prominently. Stonehenge differs from
most of the other circles in the great
size of the upright stones, and in the
fact that massive lintels are placed
from upright to upright, forming tril
ithons. The placing of the concentrit
circles and outlying marker stones OF
Stonehenge in such way that Its
axis points practically 20 the rising
sun on the longest day of the year
the summer solstice-has led to gen
eral acceptance of the theory that
this was a temple for sun worship.
Because of an astronomical change
which slowly shifts the apparent point
of sunrise at successive summer sol
stices, it has been possible to compute
the date OF the building of Stonehenge
us approximately 1880 B. G. 1t is be
lieved that the smaller circles and the
avenues and other monuments Of great
stones belong to approximately the
same period which is the late Neolith
ic age. While the larger circles like
the Stonehenge and Marlborough Rockl
doubtless are temples for sun worship
and human sacrifice. 1t Is believed that
the smaller groups Of stones mark bu
rial placea. 3

HIGHEST PRICES FOR SWINE
Especially Advantageous to Southern Farmer to Study Use of We'll
 Balanced Hog Ration.

(Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agrculture.)
 Information secured by the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture, indicates that southern hogs will command prices as high as those paid for hogs from the corn belt If they are properly fed and handled. Nearly coco hogs from a single owner In Mississippi have been received at the National stock yards, Illinois, within the past few months and all were firm, finished porkers, which sold well in line with the best that came from other sections of the country. A representative of the bu- reau of markets made some inquiries into the manner in which these hogs were fed He discovered that the same owner has feeding pens in Iowa as well as in Mississippi and that he bought his young pigs and fed them a mixed grain ration in connec- l ton with corn and tankage. All the animals showed intensive feeding and weighed 250 pounds or over when they arrived at the market.
 It would be especially advantage ous to the southern farmer to study the use of the well-baianced grain ra- tions and the complementary adapta- | tion of peanuts and velvet beans which can be grown so abundantly in that section.

DOUBLE TREATMENT IS BEST
Fattening Period-lmmunity Is Not Permanent

The serum treatment alone will not bring permanent immunity from hog cholera. It may be satisfactory for a short fattening period. But for the farm herd 1t is necessary to give the double treatment which consists of the virus and the serum. It 1t general ly understood that hog that has once recovered from case of cholera is permanently immune. This immunity is the result of the formation in the body of the animal of anti-bodles which are antagonistic to the disease germs. For hogs that have been ex- posed to the disease or that may take 1t. 1t is necessary to use the virus which gives the animal the disease in a slight form. The serum which Is then injected combats the disease germs and assists the body in resist ance.

WHEN JEFFERSON TOOK OATH
Early Presidential Inauguration at Which There Was an Abundance
 of III Feeling.

The first Jefferson inauguration had more drama about It than its three predecessors. The President-elect was received upon the portico of the new ly completed north wing of the capi- tol by Aaron Burr. whom Jefferson cordially distrusted. And the oath Of office was administered by one of his bitterest enemies, Chief Justice Mar shall, who had been appointed to off, ice by Adams in the closing days of the administration. an act which Jeff ferson regarded us not only an im- propriety but personal atfront. Jef- ferson's feelings towards Burr and Marshall were well known.
 Then the new president was escort ed to the senate chamber, where he delivered his inaugural address. one of the most notable of all such speeches. He was afterward escorted to his boarding house, where he re- ceived the congratulations of the for eign diplomats and of the leaders of the popular party who rejoiced over the defeat of the Federalists.
