And the rough neck who doesn't know or care from whence his strength comes, so long as 1t comes, and who may not be able to read music or sing lot knows in his heart that he feels better and safer and holer at the feet of the everlasting hills. The silence of the hills grows upon him. but the advantage and profit of silence is real ized by him from experience He reads poetry or prose- such as he is able to find in the
 'mags'' or the year-old newspaper he runs across, and when some real thinker slips some thing in which is part of the wisdom of the ages, the roughneck enjoys it, but doesn't en- thuse over it, for he knew by experience all the time. "When God sorts out the weather ing new in that philosophy to the Pioneer 'FThere aint no use to worry and complain; it's just as cheap and easy to rejoice" Sure, says the Pioneer, for he has learned that truth at the feet of the everlasting hills, and any thing but the hills "don't tell him nothin'."

Professor Bigourdah recently made an interesting report to the French Academy of Sciences concerning cer- tain prehistoric drawings made by cave-dwellers which evidently DOT trayed the Pleiades. The singular thing about these drawings is that they all exhibit groups of ten stars, whereas modern observers of the skies are able to perceive with the naked eye only seven stars of this group. The ten stars which form the group are visible today only by means of a telescope or from the top of a high mountain. This raises the very pretty question as to whether the cave men were already so skilled in astronomy as to know that more stars were visible from the summit of a mountain than from the plains. If they did not possess this knowledge we can only suppose either that prim- tive man was gifted with much sharp CT eyes than his present descendants, or else that the brightness of the pleiades has become much diminished
