HIGH VALUE OF SAND BATHS
From FIndina8 Of Danish Medical Men, It Would Seem Their lmpor-
 tance ls UndereEtimsted.

From the earliest history of man baths of bot sand have been used to relieve bone and joint disease, es- peClally gOut and rheumS tisn. Faber and Plum, In Danish medical jour nal, tabulute the findings during and after the sand bath In a number of cases as regards the pulse, respiration, temperature at different points of the body and the blood pressure, urine and changes ln weight as well as the effect on the pathulOglC condition. Their conclusions are tO the effect that the hot sand bath seems Co com blne with the benefit from the heat reducing pain and stimulating local circulatIon-R direct action on the muscles from the weight of the sand. This relaxes the muscle and tends 60 break up the various circles of pain and muscle contraction. This relaxing ef- feet on the muscles from the sheer weight Of the sand has been over looked before, they think, but they regard lt as an important factor in the effect, promoting resorption as well as combating the possibly unsus- pected hypertonia ID the muscles. An other advantage of sand baths Is that they can be graduated with precision to flt conditions In the weakest. The only contralndlCatiOns are febrlle dis eases, valyuIar defects great Instability of the circulation and possibly anemla and Rstheula.

WIso Animals.

A polar bear in a geological park used to sit on a rocky peninsula that ran out into a wuter-flled quarry. Visitors were In the habit of throw lns buns Into the water and some of theH loated ou the surface. It was often easy for the bear to collect half a dozen by plungIng Into the pool, but he soon discovered a more interesting way to get them. At the edge of the peninsula It scOOped the water gently with Its huge paw and made a current that brought the buns ashore.
 An elephant in another garden used to collect pennies from visitors. When lt got penny in It's trunk lt put It in the slot of an automatic machine which delivered up a biscuit. The an lmal rejected every other coin.

GAVE WORLD POWER TO ROME
Conquorlng LSgI0nO Carried the Easles to Victory in Practically Every
 Known Land.

Tn the early days of It's history the republic of Rome consisted of city, but wars of conquest extended les dominion over the whole Italian pen, InsulR. For centuries only the citi- zens of Rome had a vote In the elec- ton of the ruler. The republic was a conquerIng state, and extended RO- man power as far north and west as Spain, the British isles, Belgium, and Germany, and as far east as the Black sea. At first the army consisted of a levy of citizens. AS Rome came to need more than one army at once and warfare grew more complex a stand ing force was built up, and 1t was largely because of It's superior equip ment and discipline that the armies of the barbarlansr often superior in numbers, were defeated and crushed. The unit of the Roman army of that time was the leEiO, translated Into English, the legion. It CorrespOnded to a regiment In our army but was much larger, for a Roman legion contained from 4,OOO to 6,OOO men. They were heavy infantry with some cavalry. The IeEions comprised the irst-class troops, while the auxllia, or auxlliarIes, were the troops of the second class.
 At the time of the death of the first emperor, Augustus, In the year IA A. D., the Roman army consisted of 25 such legions. This heavy Infantry lost much of It's importance when the bar barlan lnvaslons altered the character of ancient warfare and made cavalry a more important arm than infantry In the late Third and the Fourth cen turtles.
 The word legion came to express any large number with the accessory ideas of order and subOrdInatIOn-

Some years ago, after I had learned this lesson from the German stage, I arranged the same effect for Caesars ghost when it appears to the tortured and shat tered brain of poor Brutus, but Tyrone Power complained to me that he could not work up his imagi- nation without seein gthe Ghost n the flesh.

Happiness Is not a matter of dashing about madly and having ex- citement.
