"GHEE" MUCH USED in EAST
Concentrated Form of Butter Fat En-
ployed in Preparation of Al
most All Dishes.

Ghee is briefly described as clari-
fed butter. Cows or buffalo's milk IS
submitted to a process of churning
and boiling which yields a concentrate
ed form of butter fat considered to be
entirely free from curd, whey or wa
fer. This product keeps better than
ordinary butter, but has a taste not
usually appreciated by Europeans. AL
though commonly associated with the
diet of the British Indian, ghee is used
as well throughout the Red sea dis
trict by the Arabs, Somalis, British
Indians. and other native elements of
the population. In a minor way ghee
is used incidentally and ceremonially;
but its principal use is in the prepara
ton Of food. and no native meal in
this part of the world is truly relished
unless ghee is generously used in some
form or other. It is worked into the
dough for native bread. and the bread
is fried i'm ghee; or il ordinary bread
is used the pieces broken of to be
eaten are first dipped into a cup or
vessel of hot ghee. 1t is used in the
preparation of all meat dishes. and of
many vegetable dishes. Some natives.
particularly the Arabs. boil 1t with
milk and drink the mixture.

How Horn Combs Are Made.

The tortOiseshell comb is practically
extinct and combs today are made of
cows horns. Aberdeen, Scotland, is
the home of the comb-making indus
try. and every year absorbs some mil
lions Of horns gathered from all over
the world for this particular purpose.
The annual output of combs from this
one city Is about 25,0O0,OO0.
The horns having been sorted as to
quality and graded, are flattened and
shaped into obong plates. The plates
are cut into pieces for combs, and
every bit Of the cutting is done by
machinery. The twinning machines,
as they are called, cut two combs at
once. The teeth are then pointed. and
the combs go to the securing and pol
ishing room, where the polishing Is
done by revolving wheels.
The natural color of horn Is white,
but by means of tremendous pressure
on the plates the natural white can
be changed to a greenish shade, and
it is from this that the very beautiful
imitation tortoiseshel is made.
In such a factory there is, naturally,
an immense amount of waste" This
is made into mouthpieces for pipes,
umbrella handles and buttons, while
all that is left over is worked up into
fertilizer.

GIVE CREDIT TO PH0ENICIANS
Scientists Believe That Race Erected
the Immense Mcnoliths Found in
Various Places.

Giant mOnOliths standing strangely
alone in many places on the globe
when discovered by intrepid explor-
ers and adventures during the recent
centuries, are being referred to as the
greatest mysteries of human history
by psychologists, who are now trying
TO determine what race built Them
They are scattered In far-off places.
They are mOnstrous pieces OF rude
sculpture. They are built of terrifying
stone blocks, some weighing as much
as go tons.
In many districts where the great
memorials stand there are no stones
of such size to be found, and conse-
quently they must have been trans
ported from places far away. The
most famous of them are the crom-
lechs in England Others are found
in western France. northern Germany,
in Denmark, Africa, Madagascar,
Asia, from Mt. Sinai and the Caucasus
to India; and among the most won
dorful and mysterious of all are those
found on lonely Easter island in the
Pacific ocean. NJ. Levistre, a French
archeologist, believes they were erect
ed by the PhOenicians, as most OF them
have been found near rivers. Some
students ~are inclined to believe the
Phoenicians reached America by the
lost Atlantis, legendary continent
that now is Sunken somewhere in the
Atlantic. A footprint. the Phoenician
mark of death, has been found carved
in many, while coiled snake, another
mark of these navigators also Is
found.

Color Blindness.

It may come as surprise TO many
TO learn that fewer than fifty-five peo-
pie in. every thousand are more or
less color-blind. The commonest form
of color-blindness is not-as is usually
suppOsed-the inability to distinguish
red and green. That affects one per-
son in fifty-fve. The most usual
symptom is to get mixed between blue
and green. One person in sixty can
not distinguish between brown and
green. Color-blindness is more COM
mon among educated than among I'M
educated people, and is far more usual
among men than women. Only about
one woman in thousand is badly
color-blind. A very odd fact is that
musicians are more liable to this affec-
ton than any other class or profess
sion. Illness may cause coior-blind-
ness. There is a case of a woman
who became entirely color-blind after
a form of ear disease while a signal
man who had suffered from lock-iaw
or tetanus became equally unable to
distinguish color.

LIKE RAINBOW IN THE SEA
GIorousIy Tinted Water That Washes
Bermuda's Shores Is an Ever
Fascinating Marvel.

Hundreds Of miles from any coast,
surrounded on every side by the rest
less ssrges Of the great Atlantic-a
mere speck In waste Of scales
Bermuda. While not strictly one of
the West Indies, yet its fauna and
fora, its products and it's formation
are so similar to many of the Antilles
that we may well consider it as a
West Indian island gone astray, and
set dOwn-or rather pushed up-a
thousand miles and more from it's fell
lows.
If the ship arrives at Bermuda by
daylight there is ample opportunity
for the visitor to view the island as
the vessel steams slowly along the
northern shores and threads her way
through the tortuous channel between
sharp-fanged reefs toward Hamilton.
Perhaps nowhere else in all the
world is there such gloriously tinted
water. Indigo where deep, azure and
quoise in the shadows, and marbled
with royal purple and amethyst where
reefs and corals dot the white sand of
its bed, the sea that laps Bermuda's
shores is an ever-changing, ever-fasci-
mating marvel; a thing of wondrous
beauty impossible to describe in words
or to reproduce in pigments.-A. Hyatt
