ANCIENT AND MODERN ROME
World-F amous Buildings Occupy
Sacred Sites in the Old Capital
of the World"

Ancient Rome was built on the hills
south of the River Tiber. Tradition
regarded the Palatine as the site of
Romulus' Urbs Quadrata. Excavations
have brought to light remains of
earlier settlement and a prehistoric
metropolis. The capitoline was the
center of republican and imperial
Rome. One of the principal ancient
monuments is Hadrian's mausoleum,
which, as the castle of st. Angelo, was
the citadel of medieval Rome. West
of this stood Caligula's circus, in which
Nero tortured the Christians; its site
is now occupied by st. Peters, the chief
shrine of Roman Catholicism, reputed
to be the largest church in the world,
occupying $4,000 square yards and
measuring 435 feet in its highest part.
North of st. Peters is the Vatican
palace, which covers 1874 acres and
comprises over 1000 halls, chapels and
rooms. The pantheon, built by Agrip-
pa in 81 B. G. and restored by Hadrian,
is said to be the best-preserved ancient
building in the city.

thousand souls, and are divided into

Synopsis.-The author tells of his
acquaintance with the hero of one
of the most remarkable adventures
ever recorded. From a manuscript
left by his friend he has vividly set
out the strange happenings which
brought together a brave Virginian
gentleman and Princess Of Mars.
In the Arizona hills John Carter.
mining prospector and ex-Confed-
crate soldier. fleeing from a war
party of Apaches. takes refuge in
cave the atmosphere Of which
has remarkable effect on him.
Yielding to it's influence he sinks
into Inconsistencies, his last
thoughts conferred on the glow from
the planet Mars. Awaking. Carter
realizes that he has, In some in
comprehensive manner, been trans
ported to Mars. He is captured by
Tars Tarkas and a party of Mar
tan warriors. He is conveyed, a
prisoner, to a Marian city. Three
days later a fleet of airships from
the neighboring state of Helium is
attacked by Carter's captors, the
green Martians. One of the air
ships is captured. Among the pris-
oners is young woman of a race
different from the green Martians
and closely resembling the women
of the earth. Carter ascertains
that the fair prisoners name is
Detah Thoris, granddaughter of the
Jeddak, or ruler. of Helium. Ac-
cording to custom she is doomed to
die by torture. He fights for her
and assures her of his sympathy.
John learns the language and be-
comes a chieftain, though still a
nominal prisoner. Dejah is put in
charge of Sofa, friendly woman.
The two prisoners plan to escape
before Dejah Thoris is taken be-
fore the supreme ruler of the green
Martians, Tai Hajus. John fights
a sword duel to the death.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1921-06-10

Tai Hajus and his chieftains during
some awful torture she was under
going.
II learned afterward that she told
them that she had killed me to save
me from like fate at their hands. and
that she had thrown my body to the
white apes. Sarkoja alone disbelieved
her, and feel to this day that she sus-
poets my true origin. but does not dare
expose me, at the present, at all
events, because she also guesses, am
sure, the identity of my father.
when he returned from his expedi-
ton and learned the story of my moth
er's fate was present as Tai Hajus
told him; but never by the culver of a
muscle did he betray the slightest emo
ton; only he did not laugh as Tai Ha-
jus gleefully described her death
struggles. From that moment on he
was the cruelest of the cruel, and
am awaiting the day when he shall
win the goal of his ambition, and feel
the carcass of Tai Hajus beneath his
foot, for am sure that he but waits
the opportunity to wreak terrible
vengeance"
"And your father, Sofa, is he with US
now?" asked.
"Yes," she replied, "but he does not
know me for what I am, nor does he
know who betrayed my mother to Tai
Hajus. 1 alone know my fathers
name, and only and Tai Hajus and
Sarkoja know that it was she who car
ried the tale that brought death and
torture upon her he loved"
We sat silent for a few moments,
she wrapped in the gloomy thoughts
of her terrible past, and / in pity for
the poor creatures whom the heartless,
senseless customs Of their race had
doomed to loveless lives of cruelty and
of hate. Presently she spoke.
"John Carter, if ever a real man
walked the cold, dead bosom of Bar
SOON you are one. / know that can
trust you, and because the knowledge
may some day help you or him or De-
jah Thoris or myself, I am going to
tell you the name of my father, nor
place any restrictions or conditions
upon your tongue. When the time
comes, speak the truth If 1t seems best
to you. / trust you because know
that you are not cursed with the ter
rible trait of absolute and answering
truthfulness, that you could lie like
one of your own Virginia gentlemen If
a lie would save others from sorrow
or suffering. My fathers name is Tars
Tarkas"

Thermometer Scales.

There are several different systems
Of dividing the thermometer scale. The
one in common use in all English
speaking countries is the Fahrenheit.
In this the boiling point is PIP de-
grees, and the freezing point 80 de-
grees above zero. La the Centigrade
thermometer, the freezing point is tax.
en- as the zero, and the boiling point
is reckoned at 100 degrees. 1t will
thus be seen that the 100 degrees on
the Centigrade scale and the $50 de-
grees (212 minus 32) on the Fahren-
heit scale represent the same differ
ence, In temperature namely that be-
tween boiling point and freezing point

Line the LinoIeum.

When purchasing linoleum for the
floor it is good idea to order lin
ing of felt. This precaution will
probably prolong the use of the lin
oleum. 1t also deadens sound and
makes the floor warmer in winter. 1t
prevents the linoleum from expanding
or contracting and it gives a softer
tread, all advantages worth consider.

believed. Henry z. Fletcher, under

The communication contains nothing
which can Justify its being character
lied as an ultimatum, but, 1t is under
stood, Obregon will be left In no doubt
as to the determination OF the Ameri-
| can administration 10 see that Ameri-
can interests are not indefinitely dis
crmlnated against.
1t is said to have been prepared ia
collaboration with Secretary Fail.
Among conditions set forth are:
Elimination OF provisions of Articles
81 of the Mexican constitution relat-
| ing TO the naturalization of the sub
soil rights insofar rs they affect ten
/ ure of land to which title was OBJ
taincd prior to the adoption OF the

They have taken his horse and plume.
They have left him to plod, and fume
For a hero's scope and room!
They have curbed his fighting pride,
They have bade him burrow and hide
With a million, side by side:
Look-into the air he springs,
Fighting with wings!
He has found way to be free
OF that dun mmensity
That would swallow up such as he.
Who would burrow when he could fly?
He will climb up into the sky
And the world shall watch him die!

Follow him there!
