JUST BURROWS OF ANIMALS
Mystery of What Was Known as the "DevlI's corkscrewF' Has Been
 Considered Solved.

Of the many fossils which have come out of the mountains and plains of the West, few have excited wider interest than the devils corkscrew," found in rocks of the Miocene period, in northwestern Nebraska. They are usually white, and stand out clearly against the bluff background of the rock which incloses them, often at taining a length of 15 feet, with many twists and turns, ending at times in a large bulb, with occasional side passages. When first discovered 1t was thought that these gigantic "cork- screws" were huge petrlfied vines or roots of some strange plant. Study of the "cOrkscrews," however, failed to reveal any traces of plant structure. Later the skeleton of an animal like the badger was found in a large bulb near the end of the "corkscrew," and bones of a small camel and small deer were found in others. After that 1t was discovered that many of them contained bones of small burrowing animal about the size of the western prairie dog. Excavation of actual re- cent prairie dog burrows, after filling them with thin plaster of paris, showed an interesting fact; the bur rows of the prairie dog and the pre- historic "corkscrews" were closely similar. The mystery Is considered COlUod

 And the man who said 1t was Thackeray.
 He had merely revealed, half aud ibly, the impassioned search for inc vitable words that ever goes on in the mind of the artist.
 Perhaps it's gift, or an obsessiOn, this thinking eternally in words. Per haps normal mental processes would be blocked and embarrassed by such a habit.
 But it would at least seem lament able that in conversation, a training ground in which all spend so many hours, there should be so little con scious effort to speak with grace and precision, so habitual a mouthing of stock phrases, banal flippances and current slang.

Excepting one, every oil field in the world is equipped with wooden der ricks. This exception is at the com parativeIy new fields of Trinidad, where the white ants and insects of similar appetite will quickly devOur anything in the way of piece of tim Der. Derricks of lumber, especially pine, are literally eaten up in very short time.

Give Credit to EaxptIan.

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 Athotes. It was a history of his own nation written in PIP B. 0. The Latins, who excelled in literature long before any of their neighbOrs, had thought of the publishing business, were gal lant enough to ascribe the inspiration to Europa, daughter of AgenOr, king of PhOenicia, who lived in 1494 B. c. Just what they wrote under her influ- ence in those days is not recorded. It is certain that Cadmus brought Phoe- nician letters into Greece in 14S3 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 a business or an art dates back into the earlier era of Egyptian and PhOenician civilization.

Kept YOuno by Love of Music.

Kept Young by Love of Music.
 Francois Gossec, peer of any of the Eighteenth century French composers, worked vigorously and enthusiastical- ly at his music to the time of his death. Even at seventy-eight, he had the freshness of youth not only in his habits, but also In the music which he wrote.
 As an instance of how tenaciOusly he treasured life and the juvenile spirit, when asked to attend the fu- neral of his friend Mehul, his jocose reply was: "NO, excuse me; I should be giving Death hint to take me" When he was well past four-scOre years, he daily hobbled to the Opera COmique. One day he tainted in the street.
 "Where do you wish to be taken% someone asked, as his consciousness returned.
 Quickly recovering his usual spirits, he naively replied, ITO the Opera ComiQue."

Walter Scott's First Love,

The young woman in Walter ScOtt's first love affair was Miss Willamena Belches, the daughter of a .barOnet, and when she and Scott were nineteen years old they met for the first time by accident; Scott at that time was merely the apprentice to his father, who was solicitor, and no very lOrdly one at that. After the young persons had been seen much in each others company, Scott, senior, waited upon Sir John Belches and told him that the affair ought not to be allowed to proceed without his sanction. The young woman, it Is presumed, satisfied her father that she had no thought whatever of accepting Walter, al though they continued to correspond and to meet frequently. At one time there was an understanding between them that Scott seemed to accept as nn engagement, but the young woman did not, and eventually she chose a husband whose prospects were more imDOSing

The Old. Old Story.

Six of them were engaged in a friendly game of nickel ante. They had been playing for only about two hours and the evening was yet young, when Jones suddenly pushed back his chair and declared:
 Gee whiz, fellows! I just hap pened to remember l promised my wife I'd be home by II o'clock. I'll have to leave right now"
 The members of the game were old timers, though, and the sudden awall- cnng of Jones' conscience didn't fool anybody. Roberts voiced the. senti' mcnt of the crowd:
 Gee. Jonesy, old boy, I didn't know you was that much winner!"

THINK IN WORDS
Mental Composition HabituaI
 With Most Great Writers.
As a Result Their Thoughts Are Eas- lily Marshaled When They Sit
 at Their Desks.

At least one great writer, Words worth, composed in his head, without pencil or paper.
 We are given a whimsical picture of his sister, Dorothy, trailing the gaunt old man over the Cumbrian hills, note book in hand, jOtting down as best she could his inspired dfctation.
 Of course, few would care to emu late his method. Formal composition, for most Scribes, is better done on paper where the elusive phrase is per manently recorded, the fugitive word captured, the form and cadence of the thing made obvious to the eye.
 Yet, in another sense mental con- position has been habitual with all great writers who have been generous enough to disclose their habits of thought.
 They instinctively think in words. Under the elm tree, along the trout stream, even in the thOrOughfareS and work shops of life, they are cOining phrases, silently casting what they think and. set into appropriate lan- guage, fitting and discarding adjective and verb in the eternal search for per feet expression.
 Freckled newsbOys, sunsets, traffic jams, symphonies, even the abstract meditatiOns of reverie, pass into their minds as phrases, to sink, apparently forgotten, into the stOrehOuse of the unconscious mind.
 When such men sit down to write they have no need to brush the cob webs from neglected vocabulary. The joints of expression are not stiff and sQueally from long disuse.
 They have spun the glorious skein ill WayWard hours, and when loom time comes there remains only the weaving of the pattern.
 One November evening, many years ago, three men were crossing a heath on the outskirts of London. On a hill ahead of them stood a church with a tall spire. Suddenly the sun broke through a bank of clouds and illum- mated its gold cross.
 The autumnal silence around them, the reminiscent savOr of the heath, the peculiar mOOdiness of the season and the hour, the Ominous gloom of the sky, the red shaft of sunset lighting the distant crOss-all cOnspired to arouse a peculiar sense of awe in the spectators.
