Read Secrets of Parchment.

Much of the lore of ancient palimp-
sests-parchment manuscripts from
which the original writing has been
erased and written over at a later
date-iS about to be laid bare by the
mysterious power Of the ultraviolet
light produced by the merCury-vapOr
lamps. Previous to 1914 the discov-
erer of new method Of using the
rays, Benedictine monk Of the Bava-
rian order, had made such progress
that many of the ancient parchments
In the Benedictine abbey of WesSO-
brunn had been made to disclose their
secrets.
In principle the new method is quite
simple, being based upon the peculiar
ity, possessed by many organic sub
stances, of tluOreScing-glOw with
a pale CaHary-c0l0red light-when
brought under the influence of the in
visible ultraviolet rays. The old
parchments possess this property to a
remarkable degree, while the ink of
the older writings upon them. contain

ton of the rays, remains dark and

THEY CALLED HIM "WARRY."
Appalling IrreVerence That Shocked
DianIfied Butler on Duty at tho
White House.

One of the most imposing buffers
now in captivity south Of Boston or
New York buttles at the White House.
He has been on the job for long time,
ana nobody Of his race in the world
could wear his uniform of blue and
gold with more distinction or hauteur.
He would take fat part, to speak in
stage parlance, against any kind Of
emperor, and a whole flock of princes
would be pie for him in any competi-
ton for the limelight. He is over six
feet tall, and dignity is his middle
name. Life, at least while he is on
duty, is a terrible serious affair for
him, and the smile he gives those he
knows is not one that means anything
more than welcome.
The wives of two senators called at
the White House not long since. As
they left, after leaving their cards, as
is the custom at times, one of them
turned and thought she saw the Presi-
dent himself behind the curtain of a
nearby window. She had known
President Harding when he was in the
senate and didn't believe very much in
dignity and the putting on of dog and
such things.
why" she said, there's Wary
now" The butler overheard. He
gasped. The senator's wife turned to
him.
isn't that Wary there?" she asked.
The butler almost dropped to the
flagstOneS of the pOrticO.
"Yes, mem; no men," he said
rapidly. 81 think it was not the Presi-
dent"
"Well, l think it was" insisted the
senator's wife, land when you see
Wary you just tell him we caught
him that time"
DO you suppose that butler delivered
the message?

The statement was made in reply to
an interview given out by j. Sherman
Porter, Lexington, retiring State Chief
Federal Prohibition Inspector.
Mr.. Lucas said he agreed with Ell
wood Hamilton, his predecessor, that
guards who were bribed were the ex-
ception rather than the rule,
He characterized methods designed
to evade the prohibition laws as the
greatest conspiracies ever known to
the world" because they involved
more persons and netted more money
than evasions of any other law
He expressed the opinion that the

to Miss Flowerton said that it was
simply that they had decided it was
impractocable to try to live on a navy

other Miss Flowerton and says that as
for her a navy lieutenant's salary is
