Antiquity Of Porto Rico.

Ethnologlsts have reason for think
ing that Porto Rico and the adjoining
islands may have been peopled from
the valley of the Orinoco instead Of
from Yucatan. When first occupied
by man Porto Rico may have been a
part Of peninsula connected with
South America. It's fauna and flora
are of the South American type, and
1t contains relics Of forgotten race
which show evidence Of a high grade
of culture. Few traces OF these abor-
igines are now to be found except In
the interior Of the island. Among the
curious remains are stone-enclosed
plazas, on which ceremonial dances
were performed. The remains OF
carved idols and pottery show no small
degree of skill and taste. No traces
Of stone buildings resembling those Of
the Mayas are found, but the houses
are Of the South American type.

Paradise Of the Hunter.

Kamchatka forms peninsula at the
extreme southeastern termination Of
the great Siberian continent. Game is
pursued by the inhabitants all the
year round except In May. June and
July. Sable trapping Is a favorite pur-
suit of the native hunter, the skin of
this little animal being accepted as
the gold currency Of the peninsula.
The business Of buying and selling
Is carried on with the natives through
middlemen-SIberians. Chinese and
well-to-do Kdmchadals who, while
faithfully serving their masters, make
a fat living out Of 1t for themselves.
A veritable paradise for the big
game hunter, Kamchatka contains
reindeer, caribou, big-horn mountain
sheep (Ovis nivicola), the great gray
wolf and many varieties Of bear, all In
quantities unknown, says an exchange,
In any other quarter of the globe.

Hair a Nuisance. ANYWAY.

Badness Is unnecessary. We have IL
on the authority of sharp who can
raise hair as easily as a farmer raises
wheat Men become bald because
they keep their hair cut short and the
follicle system becomes lazy, and with
not enough to do 1t loses interest In
its work and the hair falls out. Women
do not become baldheaded because
they allow their hair to grow long.
This gives the hair-producing system
plenty Of exercise and keeps 1t strong
and healthy. In order TO escape bald
ness man has only to allow his hair to
grow long, either braiding it to hang
down his back or coiling 1t around his
dome with hairpins and imposing the
joint use of mothers dresser every
morning.
However considering the alternative
calmly, most men will prefer to be
bald, writes Glenn M. Farley I'm the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. How could
q man quarrel with his wife with his
hair braided down his back2

Constant Search for TannIn.

The oak is one Of the best known
natural sources of tannin, although 1t
Is found in many other trees. The
spread of industry has increased the
call for tannin to such a degree that
search has been made all over the
world for some new tree capable of
experimenting the oak, hemlock and
lother trees in furnishing this indis-
pensable substance.
A certain degree of success has at
tended the search in Argentina, where
there Is found a tree called the que
brachO from which excellent tannin
can be obtained. The wood of this
tree is very hard and durable, and 1t
grows In large forests. 1t has been
known as a tannin producer for about
30 years, but only In late years has
the extraction OF the tannin been con-
Quoted In Argentina. Formerly the
wood was exported.

OLD MYSTERY OF THE SEA
What Became Of Fine Liner Presi.
dent Which Disappeared In
tho Year 18412

Among the modern sea mysteries
none is more battling than the vanish
ing of the liner President In 1841.
The vessel was the latest word In lux
urious ocean travel, having but lately
been launched. And that day In March
when she sailed from New York for
Liverpool every vessel In the North
river paid tribute to her size and SUI
periority. She was 268 feet long and
of 1890 tons.
Early in April reports began To
filter into America from Liverpool that
the President had not arrived, and as
the days sped on far into the summer
the agony Of suspense on both sides
the ocean grew. On her passenger
list had been the names of many promi-
nent persons, among whom were the
celebrated comedian, Tyrone Powers.
George G.. Goodman and the duke Of
Devonshire. A few more than 100
passengers were aboard the President.
Whether the President foundered
In some violent gale, was sunk or
crushed by icebergs. or was destroyed
by fire, no man to this day has been
able to tell. for not even a splinter of
wreckage was ever reported seen.

CAVE HAS STRANGE PROPERTY
hiti Have Never Been Satisfac-
torily Explained.

About 81 kllometers from Papeete,
Tahiti, is a large opening in the side
OF a mountain called the Cave Of Ma
raa. 1t is the reputed burial place Of
a powerful wizard Of old, the spell Of
whose entertainments still broods over
the tavern. The particular manifesto
ton which interests passersby Is the
impossibility of striking the opposite
wall Of the cave with stone, although
TO the eve the feat seems the easiest
of undertakings. Most newcomers
laugh at the legend and start out with
an easy throw, only to see the missile
drop In the water apparently but a
few feet away.
Then they warm to the work and
exert all the force that Is in them,
and, at last making sings, strive with
all their might TO overcome the power
of the old warlock; but to no avail.
The stones drop ANONYMOUSLY In the
water as IL some unseen hand had
caught them in midair and cast them
down In the center Of the cavern. The
reason has never been explained sat
isfactorily.-Chicago Journal.

JUST BURROWS OF ANIMALS
Mystery Of What Was Known as the
Devils corkscrew' Has Been
Considered Solved.

or 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
tanning a length OF Is feet, with many
twists and turns, ending at times In
a large bulb. with occasional side
passages. When first discovered II
was thought that these gigantic cork
screws" we're huge petrified 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 small camel and small deer
were found In others. After that II
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
solved

RULED BY WIVES
Wall Sent Up Long Ago by Dig
nified Roman Senator.
Statesmen Of the Great Empire Might
Be Supreme over All Mankind, but
They Were Powerless to
Control Women.

The modern woman" with her new
found interest In politics and law
making Is not as purely a twentieth
century product as most of US imagine.
Colby historical records prove that
over 1000 years ago the gentlewomen
or ancient Rome welded considerable
political influence. To repeat verbatim
the words Of Cato. the reform candi-
date of the times: "We rule all man
kind and we are ruled by our wives"
And while the fair citizens would
not register protesting vote against
undesirable legislation, they could and
did use other methods
Take, for example, in 215 b. c.,
when bill regulating women's dress
was brought up before the Roman SEN
ate. Government control was no new
idea in the third century b. c., and
the Roman senator's were brave and
sapient graybeards. Had they not
steered the nation safely through the
perils Of the war with Carthage and
settled the terms of the peace treaty
with minimum amount OF dissen-
sion? Surely. with wave of their
collective legislative hand they could
settle once for all the trivial question
of how much money a woman should
spend for clothes. So the law was
passed-the Lex Oppla.
Unfortunately, however, the maids
and matr0ns of the republic couldn't
see IL. They definitely objected to It.
As there was no equal suffrage at
Rome, they. Of course, could not at
tack the measure by the power of the
ballot, but law, to be at all effective,
has to be enforced.
Let US not pry too closely into the
family secrets OF the senatorial house
holds! Why attempt to visualize the
dignified politician who swayed the
votes Of hundreds trying to ex-
plain to his irate spouse that really,
my dear, 1t was not personal matter,
or trying to harden his heart to the
plea OF some dark-haired beauty as
she nestled her head against his shout
der and begged him to stop that silly
old law. Whatever the methods Of
the fair lobbyists, they were eminent
ly successful. In 1875 b. G. the law
came up for discussion as to its re-
peal.
When the question reached the sen.
ate the femlnists adopted even more
militant tactics. They tried picket
ing" To quote from Livy, the great
Roman historian: "While the argu-
ments waxed hot in the senate, the
matrons could not be kept at home
either by advice or shame or the com
mands OF their husbands" (Where,
oh where, was that good old word
"obey"O "They thronged every street
and avenue I'm the city, pleading with
the men on their way to the senate.
Each day the crowds Of women In
creased as newcomers arrived from the
country towns and villages"
And, naturally, the law was re-
pealed.-Geocge w. Leffingwell, Phi. D.,
in New York Post.

The AppIe OF Eden,

From time immemorlal the apple
has been blamed for being the cause
of mans downfall In the garden OF
Eden. We have even gone so far as
to call our Adams apple by that name
In memory Of the incident.
AS a matter Of fact, the word apple
does not appear in that part of Gene.
sis treating with the Garden Of Eden,
the "fruit of the tree" being the words
always used. The fallacy arose from
the fact that the word apple has IN
many languages the general meaning
OF fruit, and that before an English
translation of the Bible was permitted
the story was incorrectly spread by
ignorant churchmen. and thus tool
root too deeply to be eradicated.
