The Egyptians were, early in their
history (about 1000 h. c., attracted
by this flight of the sun. They evolved
their religion on the thesis that life
was given by the sun 1t was the heat
that he gave that caused all things to
grow, and he gave to man warmth and
comfort. SO they created the god of
the sun, and called him Ra-Harachte.
In one OF the earliest cities. built on
the east side Of the Nile, and n little
to the north Of modern Cairo, they
erected his first temple. The city was
called On, later named by the Greeks
HeiiOpoliS the City of the sun. Here
the Egyptians established the priest
hood of Ra, a sect that became famous
for its knowledge of the occult
sciences. the practice of magic. and
the laws Of medicine and astrology. It
was with them the youthful Moses
was brought up, and it was by the
art ne had mastered in the priesthood
of On that enabled him later TO put
into practice his magic before Pharaoh.
which finally led to the liberation of
the Israelites.

LEGEND OF SEVEN SLEEPERS'

The quotation from Dickens Christ.
mas Carol, about the "other six" sleep

legend Of THE Seven Sleepers OF
Ephesus." The legend goes back to
the time OF the persecution Of the
Christians during the reign of the
Roman emperor Decius. According to
the story seven Christians fed from

CAD that they awOke. believing that
they had slept but a single night.
One of the seven went into the city
to buy provisions, and he was amazed
to see crosses on the churches and
other buildings, for while they had
been asleep Christianity had made
great progress.

ROAD >
BUILDING
CAUSE OF DAMAGE TO ROADS
Pernieious Practice Of Overlooking
Small Trucks With Narrow Tires
Is Responsible.

With the rapid increase in the num-
Der of motOrtrucks operated over our
highways, ii has been found that
many of what are called improved"
roads have failed to withstand the ad-
ditiOnal traffic imposed by the new
form of local freight transport. This
has given rise 10 new problems OF
road construction and maintenance,
and In some states has led to the en-
actment of laws prohibiting the use
of the large capacity truck, on the
assumption that il is the heavy truck
that does most of the damage to the
road. The first result of this legisla-
ton has been to encourage the PERM
ciOuS practice OF overlooking, under
which trucks designed TO carry safe
ly limited weight are forced to car
~ a large additional load. The tires
of the various sizes of truck are made
OF a sufficient width to prevent their
breaking or cutting the road surface
when loaded to their proper full ca
pacity, but when an overload IS add
ed the tire width is necessarily too
narrow, and the danger of injury to
the road becomes manifest. The tire
width required for certain loads has
been carefully worked out after many
years experience, and most states
have laws fixing the weight that is
borne by an inch of tire width In all
standard types of truck the width OF
tire corresponds to the load that can
be safely carried, and truck manu-
facturerS warn their customers against
carrying a greater weight than that for
which each size of truck is designed.
The enactment of law prohibiting
the use of large capacity trucks leaves
the same tonnage of freight to be
moved, and with the heavy truck
barred resort must be had to the
smaller sizes. This means in many
cases less economical and efficient
service, and prompts the manufacture
er or merchant to try to make up for
loss in load capacity by increasing the
size of the load. With this additional
load the gross weight on the tire ex-
ceedS the factor of safety, and there
by increases the danger of breaking
the road surface. j is self-evident
that truck desic<Gd to carry two
tons with corresponding width of tires,

FURTHER USE FOR RADIUM
It's Employment in Pottery Is said to
Be Productive of Results of
Great Benefit

Water containing radioactive com
pounds is used as a curative agent for
certain Illnesses. Mere contact with
such compounds for a sufficient length
of time will make water slightly radio
active.
Pottery is now manufactured which
has in it a small percentage Of radio

Roads.
must do more damage to the road
when it carries ton or so more of load
than its tires were intended for.
a striking example of the relation
OF overlooking to impact is given in
the preliminary report of the United
states bureau of public roads, in
which it is stated that a three-ton
truck, with a load of five tons, run
ming at a speed of 10 miles per hour
over twO-inch rut, had an impact Of
slightly over II tons, while a 51a-tOn
truck with load of 51z tons, under
the same conditions had an impact OF
only II tons. The fact that the over
loaded truck had a heavier "unsprung"
weight, that Is weight not sustained
by springs, accounted to some extent
for its greater impact, but there can
be no question that the overlooking
was a material factor I'm causing the
greatly increased wheel pressure on
the road.
Against this danger truck owners
are constantly being warned By truck
manufacturers, who strongly advise
that no truck should De made 10 carry
a greater load than the weight de-
fined by its classification. Some states
have enacted laws imposing fines for
truck overlooking but it will proba-
