Copy Mother EYES Costume.

Deep in the heart of India there
lives a tribe of natives known as
Juangs, or leaf wearers There are
but 1000 of the tribe. and as far as
can be discovered theirs is unmixed
blood from the time their first anceS-
tor emerged from the animal life of
the jungle. They come as near to
being apes as any human being can.
The name leaf wearer was given
because of their custom of dressing
their women in leaves-undressing,
rather, for the custom consists of two
lunches of leaves, one in front and
one in back-that are thrust into a
belt of string decorated with clay
stems. This dress is changed each
day, and as result the outskirts of
their villages are ankle deep in the dis
carded finery. The legend of the tribe
declares that the goddess of the Bal
turni river, emerging from her home
in the rocks. saw several of the Juang
women dancing without even a leaf.
She was outraged and ordered the
leaf dress with the threat that. should
the tribe abandon it, the curse of
death would fall on the women and
the tribe be eXterminated

DONE With Lever
Connecticut Architects Theory Of
the Pyramids:
Refuses to See Anything Remarkable
in the Raising of the Enormous
Egyptian Sarcophagi

Could an old Yankee farmer. with
plenty of ancient Egyptians to help
him, run up a pyramid with no other
mechanical device than simple lever!
Edwy E. Benedict, an architect OF
Waterbury, Conn.,, AYERS, in letter.
that he would be willing to take con-
tract for the work on these conditions
AS ancient Egyptians in unlimited
quantities are no longer to be had for
the asking, he is probably safe in so
doing
ut is my belief" Mr.. Benedict
writes, gained as boy working on
farm, and as a carpenter, with the
knowledge accrued from my reading
and practice as an architect, that the
blocks of stone were raised and placed
in position by the very simple process
of using the lever and fulcrum, using
part of the weight of the block or
stone to help lift itself.
eff you will look over the illustra-
lions showing some of the methods
used by the people of those times you
will see that they understood perfectly
the use of the lever and fulcrum.
did you ever watch farmer and
the boy pry ton or two of stone
out of hole? Possibly they had a
crowbar but as a general thing the
lever was a maple sapling cut from
the nearby woods The rock was
rough, with rounded sides, difficult
to get bite on, but that rock was
lifted out of that hole. Neither the
farmer nor the boy had studied the
science of engineering, but they I'M
derstood the use of the lever and full
crum and how the weight of the stone
would help lift itself.
SIN the case of the Pyramids, each
step or inset would be used as part of
the blocking, thus minimizing the
quantity of blocking by using what
had been released over again.
when each successive level was
reached, the outer edge of the block
would be raised and the block slid into
place on creased skids or rollers; this
method would leave the corners the
last to be filled, thus giving each block
i two sides or ways to work from and
making the most accurate fitting pos
sible.
Gangs of men could work on all
four sides, three Or four gangs on
side at first, thus making compare
lively rapid progress.
81 presume the builders thought the
process of lifting the stones so simple
that it wouldn't pay to commemorate
it by 'sculping' it on the side of the
pyramid.
81 do not deny that building the
Pyramids was big undertaking, but
neither do l feel that l am conceited
in saying that if / could get some of
the old Yankee farmers ! have known
as bosses and the unlimited help of
those times, l would be willing to take
a contract to build another pyra-
mid, using the process described."-

Chinese Need Farming Tools.

There is growing interest in i'm
proved farm implements in China,
which is creating possibilities for the
sale of certain hand tools and small
machines especially adapted to the
needs Of the Chinese. Except in the
Undeveloped portions of the north
vest, China cannot use farm ma
chinery to the same extent that we
use it in the United States. because
The amount of land owned by one man
is too small and in too small fields,
says United States consular bureau
report. The Chinese who have studied
agriculture either at home or abroad,
as well as landowners and farmers
with education enough to know that
improved implements exist, are po-
tential purchasers Of instruments,
chiefly of the following kinds: Light
plows. harrows, cultivators, small cot
ton gins, wheel hoes and irrigation
pumps operated by animal power.

Firemen's Bazaar
Closes with Success

The treasury of the st. Johns
bury Firemen's Association was
swelled considerably by the net
receipts of the big indoor fair and
bazaar conducted at the Armory
during the past week under its
auspices. The affair came to a
close at midnight Saturday after
a very successful week during
which time more than $500 per-
sons paid admissions into the
building.
The various concessions did a
good business in spite of existing
business conditions. Although
money was spent more or less
freely it was noticeable that some
folks were loath to open their
pocket books often. Among the
entertainers Professor Kingman,
the glass blower attracted the
most attention. His stunts were
very clever and some of he ar
ticles manufactured from glass by
him We're valuable souvenirs. The
vaudeville, especially Frank Van
cite, the accordian player, was of
a high order.
Thursday and Saturday even
ings were the big nights of the
week. The hall was packed on
both of these occasions.
Miss Vera Metcalf sold the
largest number of tickets for the
fair and as a result captured the
prize, a 500 diamond ring, offer
ed to the girl turning in the
largest number of votes. Miss
Metcalf, who is employed at Sher-
burne's Restaurant, is very much
elated over her success. The
watch, given to the person with
the lucky ticket, went to Aleck
Healey of the Corner Garage.
