DRYS TO SPEND BIG SUM
u. S. and Anti-SaIoon League Have
$8,500,0oo to Keep America
Dry.

Washington, Aug. 31.-It will cost
Uncle Sam $7,500,0OO to keep the cup
from the lip next year or rather to
try to do it.
That's the appropriation granted the
internal revenue department for en-
forcing the Eighteenth amendment and
the Volstead act.
Besides that the Anti-Saloon league
will spend around $1,OOO,0OO creating
sentiment in favor of dry law en-
forcement, says Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel for the league
The government appropriation is ex-
pected to cover salaries of federal dry
enforcement officials, pay of chemists
to analyze the evidence" laboratory
supplies, travelling expenses Of officials
and rent of headquarters in cities
throughout he country.

Constituents of Mamma.

The belief that it has discovered
one Of the constituents Of the mama
of the Bible is agitating the United
States federal bureau of chemistry.
1t has found and secured several
pounds of melezitose, a form of sugar
extremely valuable in scientific expert
mentation, and hardly more plentiful
than radium. Melezitose is the origin
al honey dew. 1t gets it's name from
the French word melee, which means
larch tree. It seems that bees and
peculiar summer weather in central
Pennsylvania recently conspired to lay
up a lot of this unusual saccharine
substance in numerous hives, where ii
crystallized and dealt death and de-
struction to many bees when they tried
to live on 1t. Tt was found to have been
too rich for their digestion and that
they literally starved to death.

CITYS GLcRY LONG DEPARTED
Petra, Once Great Trade Center, Is
Now Place Utterly Without
Human Inhabitants.

In A. D. 106 one Of Trajan's gen.
erals conquered Petra, the ancient city
of the Nabataeans In Arabia. and
created the Roman province Of Arabia
Petraea, but the city continued to
flourish as a trade center under the
strong peace of Rome, writes Lowell
Thomas in Asia magazine. In those
days Petra was the focusing point on
the caravan routes from the interior
OF Arabia, Persia and India to Egypt,
Palestine and Syria. 1t was a great
safe deposit of fabulous wealth, for
tressed by frowning cliffs. When Ro-
man power waned. the Romanized Ma
bataeans were unable to- withstand the
desert hordes. The caravan trade was
diverted through other channels and
Petra declined in Importance.
A little more than a century ago
John Lewis Burckhardt, a Swiss
traveller, who had heard rumors of a
great city Of rock lying far out on the
fringe of the Arabian desert, pene-
trated the gorge and found once more
this wonderful old city of Petra, which
had not been mentioned In any liter
airy record since A. D. $50.
In the century or more since Burck-
hardt wrote of his discovery of the
rock city in letter from Cairo, only
few explorers and psychologists from
the west have visited Petra. The jour-
ney is so long and arduous and the
danger of violence from Bedouin no
MAIDS so great that not many lave had
the time or zeal to attempt 1t. The
lion and the lizard kept the court
where Jamshyd gloried and drank
deep until Thomas Lawrence brought
his fighting Bedouins into this city Of
tombs and empty palaces.

CHILD WHO CAUSED A WAR
British Girl Only Six Years of Age
Was the innocent Center Of
Trouble in Assam.

The discovery that Mary Winches-
ter, who when only six years of age
was the cause of the Lushais war, is
still alive, has aroused the greatest
interest.
She was abducted by the natives Of
northern Assam, and when the fight
ing was over it was found that the
chiefs Of the Lushais had almost del
fed her, and they pleaded with the
British officers to be allowed to keep
her to become the head of the tribe.
Mary's father was a native of Elgin,
and belonged to one of the leading
county families in Morayshire. When
the story of the Lushai outrage reach
ed Elgin it caused great CONSERVATION,
and the M. P. for Moray and Marin
raised the matter in the house of COM
mons and took it further-even to
Queen Victoria herself So 1t came
about that the punitive force was sent
against the Lushais. On receipt of
the news that Mary Winchester had
been rescued and was alive and we'll
Elgtn gave itself up to a riot of re.
joicing, and later still, on her arrival
at her grandparents home, the whole
town made holiday to welcome her.
Prior to travelling north Mary had
the honor of being received by Queen
Victoria. The little maid, despite the
fact that she had changed her native
dress for European attire, was then
and for some considerable time after
ward Of a dark almond color wher-
ever her skin had been exposed to the
tropical sun of Assam.

Man Leads In Endurance.

Man is a truly wonderful animal.
Although the majority Of the human
race ruin their strength and constitu-
lions by unwise eating and drinking,
Dy lack Of fresh air, and by unnec-
essary exposure to all sorts of infec-
ton, yet, even so, man can more than
hold his own with the brute creation.
Not, Of course, in muscular strength.
A tiger with one pat Of his paw can
reduce human skull to pulp; a hare
can run two yards to a mans one. II
Is in endurance that man beats the
lower races. For a short distance a
racehorse can gallop nearly 50 miles
an hour, but In a 500-mile race a
trained man will easily beat any horse
that ever lived.
