COMMON cARRIERS-AND
A FEW NOT so COMMON

Tractors are crawling over the snow
covered fields of northern Greenland
carrying the supplies of the Lane Koch
expedition. This novel use of a new
born vehicle recalls that some of the
Oldest transportation methods still are
employed in regions whose civilization
is older and higher than that of the
Greenland Eskimo.
The OK cart still serves the Southern
"darky" in North Carolina, Georgia,
and Alabama, as well as in other por-
tions of the South, as his coach and
four for the Sunday "go-to-meeting."
During the week the stOlid beast plOws
! tobacco and cotton fields. In India
bullOcks hitched to a wagon with an
ornate beehive shaped or elongated
covering. not unlike the picturesque
tobacco schooner, convey the Burmese
man and his family along the road to
Mandalay. Nor does this animal cease
being a means Of transportation upon
his death. The natives blow up his
skin and use it as q float or raft on
which they cross the rivers.

TEMPLE STONES THAT
MAY BECOME HEARTH
STONES

Cable reports recently stated that
Marlborough Rocks, one of the best
known of the so-called Druid Circles"
of England, would be broken up and
used by a company for building homes.
The reports bring to mind what
might be termed the fight for sur
vival" of the monuments and works of
art of past ages against the activities
of later generations.
During the dark ages priceless mar
BILE statues by Praxiteles and other
burned to make lime. In northern
Africa and Asia Minor, in numerous
places where classical ruins are found,
beautifully chiseled stOnes-physical
symbols of "the glory that was Greece
and the grandeur that was Rome
have been built into the uncouth huts
of the natives. The smaller stones
from Druid Circles" and avenues"
lying on the surface of the ground,
ready quarried, have long fallen prey
to nearby peasants in all the coun-
tries in which they occur. Even the
CIOhOACESOs Oll SdIlSOu1J AdAAs AAh5
land, famous as the greatest of the
supposed Druid temples and one of
the most striking of the uninScribed
monuments of the world, has not en-
tirely escaped the hand of the vandal.
The larger monoliths are too massive
for easy removal, but some of the
smaller stones have disappeared and
are reported to have been built into
bridges and mill dams of the adjacent
countryside.
Relatively small stone circles and
parallel rows of monoliths known as
avenues" are numerous in England,
Wales, Scotland and Ireland. They
also are found in numbers in western
Europe, especially in France, and to
q lesser degree in northern Africa, and
| in southern Asia as far east as India.
Among them, however, the compare
lively few great groups stand out
prominently. Stonehenge differs from
most of the other circles in the great
size of the upright stones, and in the
fact that massive lintelS are placed
from upright to upright, forming tril-
| ithons. The placing of the concentric
circles and outlying marker stones OF
Stonehenge in such a way that its
axis points practically to the rising
sun on the longest day of the year
the summer solstice-has led to gen
eral acceptance of the theory that
this was temple for sun worship.
Because of an astronomical change
which slovAy shifts the apparent point
of sunrise at successive summer sol
stices, it has been possible to compute
the date of the building of Stonehenge
as approximately 1850 B. G. 1t is be.
lieved that the 4 mailer circles and the
avenues and OF T. monuments of great
stones belong 10 approximately the
same period, which is the late Neolith
ic age. While the larger circles like
the Stonehenge and Marlborough Rocks
doubtless are temples for sun worship
and human sacrifice, 1t is believed that

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
a medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

THE LONG, LONG TRAIL OF
THE GYPSY

Now that the weather is becoming
mild again, some fine day you will
discover a camp of gypsies near your
doorstep, and wonder where in the
world they came from. The world has
been wondering for many century
whence the original gypsies came.
George Borrow relates that the first
gypsies made their appearance in Mol
davia in 1417, and no one seems to be
very certain in regard to their place
of origin. The original 5000 increased
to formidable proportions in a century
or two, and Maria Theresa and Joseph
II tried to ciyilize them, with no sue
cess.
In the early days each little band
had a captain whom they honored with
the title of count. To secure the COW
eted position this leader had to be
valiant and courageous in the pillag-
ing expeditions for food and sagacious
and crafty enough to settle their eis-
putes. For this he was allowed a third
of anything that the band stole.
Despite their marauding tendencies,
and their more or less contemptuous
attitude toward people not "of the
blood" they have a code of morals
which contains many excellent require
ments. true gypsy must not have a
quarrelsOme disposition, and he never
reveals the secrets of the brotherhood.
Though they make the rest of mankind
their lawful prey, they are capable of
great sacrifices for each other. They
pledge themselves never to marry out
of their own sect, nor will they teach
| their language to anyone not a gypsy
by blood or adoption.
Their daredevil spirit perhaps has
had passing influence on most Of the
| countries in which these wanderers
have lived. At least England is ac-
credited with having contracted her
| love of horse racing from them, and
| they are nearly always to be found
among her jockeys and in attendance
upon her Derbys.
Pretending knowledge of the meta
physical and dabbling in fortune telling
have always been within the province
of the gypsy women. They have
claimed that they could witch away
troublesome ailments of the heart and
have compounded queer love philters
which instead of imbuing the unfortun-
ate taker with a steadiness of aim with
his love arrows, have poisoned his di
| gestive tract.
But they realize the monetary value
Of the myth concerning their ability
to divine the future, and have since the
beginning of their history capitalized
it. In Spain where large proportion
of the race now lives, travellers say
that they find neatly whitewashed
caves lighted by electricity, and thai
even gypsy royalty will caper and ca
reer around in fantastic dances fol
the coins OF casual visitor.

one part of the Pacific then in anothe.
One of the greatest regions of vo}
canic disturbance has been in and neaI
the island of Java, in the southwestern
corner of the Pacific, where that body
of water meets the Indian ocean.
Volcanic-made in the first place, and
constantly being remade by them. Java
has more volcanoes than any area Of
its size in the world. Estimates of
the active and extinct craters range
from 100 to $50. Everywhere in Java,
in the huge crater lakes, in fissures
that now are river beds, even in an
cient temples, half finished when in
terrupted by some fiery convulsion, are
evidences of cataclysmic forces-such
turbulent forces as now are in con-
tinuous hysteria in the Valley of the
Ten Thousand Smokes in Alaska, and
break their crusted surface cage in
termittently in Java.
The ''treacherous Klot," as the ma
| tives call it, all but wiped out the
town of Britar, but even it's devasta-
tfon, as reported to the state depart
lent upheaval of Krakatoa in 1888.
Then mother nature turned anarchist
and planted gargantuan internal ma
chine on the doorstep of Java.
Krakatoa is a little island in the
| Sunda strait, between Sumatra and
Java. Australians, as far from the
explosion as New York is from Ell
PasO, heard the terrific detonatiOn;
more than half the island was blotted
out, parts Of it were flung aloft four
times as high as the worlds highest
mountain, and to touch bottom below
the waters surface where most of the
island had been, hencefOrth required
a plumb line twice as long as the
height of the Washington monument.
Skyscraper waves flooded adjacent is
lands and rolled halfway around the
earth. Every human eardrum heard,
though it may not have registered, the
air waves as they vibrated three or
four times around the earth.
Krakatoa levied a smaller toll in
human life than Klot, because of it's
isolation, and many of the $4,000
| deaths from Krakatoa's eruption were
at far-distant points by drowning.
An eruption anywhere on the island
| means disaster, for Java, about equal
: in era to New York state, supports a
population greater than the combined
populations of the Empire state and
the four other most populOus states
in the Union-Pennsylvan Illinois,
| Ohio and Texas.
In the native folklore are innumer-
able stories of the earth opening up
to swallow dancing girl. Such tales
betoken another physical feature of
the island fraught with human trag-
edy. Not only has it steaming vents,
spouting geysers, sulphur lakes but
! great chasms open and close, and they
have been known to swallow villages,

In the transportation system of Alaska.
The dog is the Belgian peasants
close friend, drawing the truck and
milk wagons in many towns.
One of the quaintest wagons of the
schooner type now in use is drawn by
camels through the streets of certain
towns in India That country affords

bearers goes around the world, with
