Armenia First Christian Nation.

The Armenians are an Aryan race
and probably emigrated from Europe
into Asia Minor centuries before the
Christian era. Their language be-
longs to the Indo-Eur0pean group of
languages. Their king was converted
to Christianity as early as 301 A. d.,
and Armenia then became The first
Christian nation of the world. The
Armenian civilization has been estab-
llshed for centuries. The position of
the country on the highway between
Asia and Europe has subjected it to
invasion and subjugation at various
periods by the Assyrians, Modes,
Greeks, Romans, Persians and Turks.
From the Fourteenth century TO the
late war, the greatest part of Armenia
was under Turkish rule. Their en-
nifty TO the Turks rises from their
struggles as a nation TO he free, which
have frequently been accompanied by
massacres of Armenians. Americas
interest arises from sympathy with an
oppressed race that has for so long
upheld Christian civilization in the
Near East. M

eayoneted Insects.

There Is ~ Cuba curious grass,
Cenehrus echlnatus, which bristles
with tiny sharp-pointed spikelets upon
which multitudes Of insects are i'm
paled, by night as well as by day.
The wings Of the victims are pierced
and entangled by the barbed spikes,
so that most Of them are unable to
get away, and thus perish miserably.
Even a large, luminous swapping
beetle, which is so strong and active
that it can with difficulty be held in
the hand, falls a victim to these vege-
table bayOnets. 1t has been observed,
however that two species of Insects,
a large hug, Oebalus, and an earwig,
readily free themselves from the
spikes. Minute insects are not caught.
The grass does not appear to derive
any nourishment from its prey. 1t IL
found elsewhere In the West Indies
and IN southern Florida.

REALM OF DEATH ON EARTH
Country in the Vicinity Of Mount We
V suMus Graphically Portrayed by
Gifted FrenehWoman.

The country at the foot of Vesuvius
is the most fertile and best cultivated
of the kingdom most favored by
heaven in all Europe. The celebrated
Lacryma Christi vine ilourlshes beside
land totally devastated by lava, as If
nature here made a last effort and re-
solved to perish in her richest array.
AS you ascend you turn to gaze on
Naples and on the fair land about 1t
the sea sparkles in the sun as II
strewn with jewels; but all the splen-
doris of creation are extinguished by
degrees, as you enter the region or
ashes and smoke, that announce your
approach TO the volcano.
The iron waves of other years have
TRACED, large black burrows in the soil.
AT certain height birds are no long
er seen; further on plants become very
scarce ;sthen even insects find no nour-
kshmeIit< At last all life disappears;
you enter the, realm ofsdeath, and the
slain earth's dust slipsibeneath your
unassuied feet. Madame De Stael.

OPENING GALE
OF BIG NORTHER
HITS HERE SAT.

Coolest weather Of the winter sea-
son is forecast for the States east Of
the Rocky Mountains this week, and
the advance gale Of the big Norther
hogan its sweep to the South Friday
night.
It's forerunner hit this section yes
terday and last night the mercury
was crawling steadily downward.
AT 1920 yesterday morning dark
ness with almost the density Of night
settled over Columbus and vicinity,
and many feared that stern was
approaching.
In the business district electric
lights were turned on in the stores
and in the office buildings and a reg
ular night scene was on.
A general distribution Of borometric
pressure over the Pacific is driving
a cold wave to the southwest, and Bit
ing cold weather is predicted for this
section this week. The forecast goes
so far as to predict freezing tempera-
lures as far South as the coast.
Yesterday the heaviest snowfall
in three years was reported from
Memphis, and snow was said to be
falling yesterday afternoon as far
down as Clarksdale in Mississippi.

/ RITES OF MOUND BUILDERS
How Bundle Burialsn and "Burials IN
the Flesh" Were Conducted by
Ancient Race.

After an Indian mound has been
cleared and surveyed IL is stripped of
the surface sod and excavated by a
series Of trenches One mound, says
the Southern Workman, contained no
less than 10 bundle burials,7 with two
"burials in the flesh" above Of later
date. These bundle" buriais were
disarticulated skeletons that had been
taken down from trees and made into
bundles. In each bundle as rule.
were the bones of from two TO four
individuals. They were placed end 10
end, lengthways, north to south, and
formed a layer some ten feet long and
five feet wide. They We're placed ON
carefully prepared bed Of alternate
layers of golden and bright-red sands,
evidently of ceremonial import, and
surrounded by several stone affairs.
On these, appropriate sacrifices We're
made to the dead; there were signs
Of fire all about. Some half-burned
bbllGS III NNA lANNNANOd van
charcoal were found near the top, in
dicating that some poor captive had
been burned at the stake to minister
TO the souls of the dead on their jour
ney to the happy hunting grounds. In
the top strata were found two skel-
etons, both of them strongly fixed,
with the knees drawn up to the chin.
They We're evidently of considerable
age, but of later origin than the
bundle" burials. In fact, all the
bones in this group of mounds showed
extreme signs of decomposition. 1t
was necessary to paint them all with
transfusing fluid the minute they
were exposed to the air. These two
skeletons were perhaps the remains
of people who had died during the
construction of the mounds and were
given burial in the top of them.

LITTLE BOY IMPROVING

News from the bedside Of Master
Walter Kennedy, who was accidental
ly shot several days ago is most
gratifying to the many friends Of the
little fellow. He is entirely out Of
danger and on the road to recovery.
A sweet little note went to him
at the sanatarium the past week from
his little classmates of the First
Grade at Barrow School. The chill
dren extended their sympathy and
sent a boquet of flowers. The note
in its childish simplicity read:
Dear Walter:
We are sorry you are hurt. We
miss you very much and hope you will
soon be well.
