ANCIENT PEOPLE A MYSTERY
Excavations on Site Of Askacn and
GAIA May Throw. Light 5a "a,
K. Philistines. -

A further attempt is to be made this
summer to solve the mystery Of the
Ph;.istines."
Professor Garstand, the archeolo-
eist. has returned to Palestine after
his visit to England and has started
to mark out sites for further eXcaya-
tons.
During the past two years the pro-
fessor and his assistants have been
engaged in making exploration on the
sites of the ancient cities of ASkalon
and GAIA.
This season trial explorations are to
be made upon series Of tells Car
tificial hill mounds, the debris OF sue
ceSSive cities near the two sites Of
Askalon and GAIA Little is known Of
the national history of the PhiliStincs,
and il is the object Of the new eNcav2-
tons to get at the problem Of this
mysterious race.
Professor Garstand considers shat 1t
would be too prolonged and expensive
a business to dig through the great
depth of Graeco-2oman buildings to
tie deeper layers in which lie the
Philistine remains Of the city OF Aska-
lon, so that the excavations will be
outside the walls CT tie city. 4 good
deal of pottery has been discovered
and a few weapons which may have
been used against King David.
Many theories have been advanced
as to who the PhilistineS were, ana
from whence they came, but it is gen
orally believed their origin was IN the
neighborhood Of the island OF Cyprus
Reference is made to them in the pre-
Mosaic period, but for at least ",ooo
years they have remained mystery

New snd Excellent Custom Spreading
Among Business Men In Coun-
trys Financial Center.

The church that is located in the
business district of q city is developing
a new form Of use. Within the past
year Trinity church. standing at the
Broadway end of Wall street, New
York, and having a great curb market
Immediately behind it, finds steadily
increasing number of business and pro-
fesSional men in its pews from $50 to
9 o'clock of each week day morning,
except Saturday. There is no service
at this hour, and no ministers are
about. 1t is Immediately before a
busy day. a year ago there were not
enough men in the pews at this morn
ing hour for the sections to take 2ote.
It is to be remembered that at all
hours. Trinity has people il its pews,
regardless Of services.
Recently this morning custom has
grown, until at present the numbers
in pews at $50 O'clock will reach
forty to fifty. They never bring in
newspapers or books. They do not
come to read or to rest. They come
In, >kneel, and pray. Then they go
cut and to business. No invitation
ever was given. save the general one
of opening the doors to all people and

New Cattle Feed for Army.

Compressed forage, composed OF
pure cats and other grains, pressed in
10 bricks made with a binder of
molasses, has been successfully deyel-
oped at Camp Lewis. The bricks are
l.. inches long, inches wide and 11a
inches thick. Peltorations make it
possible to break up the bricks by
hand if only portions are to be fed
TO the army horses Or mules. With
the new compressed feed, it is pointed
out, a horse can go into battle carry
ing it's rations as the soldier carries
his own. Tests were made on 80 an
imals at Camp Lewis, and all but four
took readily to the new compressed
feed, according to the report of the
chief camp veterinarian. With the ex-
ception of two of the animals, all
gained weight and maintained their
working efficiency. No sickness was
observed. One stallion gained 46
pounds in 80 days.-Popular Mechan-

INDUSTRY CALLS ON SCIENCE
Chemist Today Plays a Highly lnn>
portant Part in Enterprise OF
Every Description.

It is said that whenever car wheel
breaks on certain great trunk line
the fragments are taken to the com
pany's laboratory and carefully stud
led; so that when the next order for
car wheels is made up, if structural
weakness caused the accident, it may
be guarded against. All the purchases
by this railroad of iron, steel, or,
lumber Or what not are tested by the
chemists it employs and they draw up
the requirements to which persons
who sell the road supplies must con-
form. This is not an isolated in-
stance. 1t illustrates the practically
Of applied science, and the reliance
of acute business men upon the ex-
pert opinion that insures them against
wasting materials, time and money
A class graduated from one Of our
largest chronological schools num-
bered almost two hundred young men
and women. Eleven of them took up
special studies in this institution or
others. All but forty Of the rest found

important industrial enterprises.
