thing testified to the desperation with
which the Black Menace was fighting

could get any <one to tow us back

We passed the dirt cross road, then
came to the fork In the road, and
turned down toward Rockchn, fol-
lowing the branch OF the road that
skirted the river. -
ID Kennedy had taken the wheel now,
for he had determined upon a.careful

kept right on, following out every bit

led away toward the river, for he had
a fancy that 1t was in that direction

Speed and l made hasty plans
while Craig did his errand that
took him up to the laboratory. First
of all Speed wanted to have the car
thoroughly looked over at his garage
so that 1t would be in perfect condi-
down at a critical time when we
could not afford to have anything
wrong.
At the garage I noticed a new spot
light on the side of the Windshield of
Speeds big car, and at my suggestion
he had 1t taken of and transferred to
the roadster. My idea had been that
it might tbe useful II we had to do
any night work. 8 \
Finally Speed was satisfied that his
car was all right and we jumped into
it and started uptown to pick up
Craig.
He was waiting for us impatiently
at the laboratory and into the tool
box on the rear of the car he damned
several things which he thought
might be useful in whatever emer-
gencies might arise. Among them /
noticed n peculiarly shaped. case
and a smaller package, on which he
seemed to set great store. He
nlaced them on top very carefully.
Both Speed and I were too eager to
be OF to ask questions, and in a few
moments we were. away.

Across the ferry we started along

 Are they worth saving? I should say SO! They are superior in every way to the Esquimaux and the won der is that they are as good as they are, considering they never had a good word preached to them in their lives. The traders only want what they can produce and their young women, and it's got now that it's difhcuit for a young native boy to get wife as the whiteman first has his pick-why? I don't know. from what I can see the women slave worse for the Russian trader. than for Chuckchee, but I suppose it's the clothes. The trader dresses them in spotted deerskins and wol7 verire trimfhings,swhile the Chuck chee only has black deerskins and dog trimmings.
 Their conditions commenced in 1917, before that the country was fairly quiet. natives prosperous and contented, the only drawback being syphilis: but now they are poor, ana d:scontented; sons parting from their parents and moving away to some other place and taking half the house with them as their share, and all this is the result of bad words spoken during a drunken debauch' A few still remember their fathers and hunt occasionally. but the bal ance of drones live of them.

Dice Used by the Ancients.

Dice, in some form or other, have
existed in every period of history and
in every nation. They are depicted
ON the early Egyptian monuments, and
those excavated at Thebes are very
similar to the dice made today. Their
use is attested by laws regulating the
games played with them in ancient
Greece and Rome. as well as in most
European countries.
The invention of dice is attributed
to Palamedes, about 1914 B. C. But
the use of cubes with numbered sides
for gambling purposes is probably
much earlier.
The Latin word for dice, tesserae,
Is derived from the Greek tesseres,
Ionic for tessares, four, because it is
on every side square. Frequent pas
sages in the works of ancient writer's
and numerous representations in
marble and paintings show how pop
ular dice playing was among them.

HShape" of the Sky.

What is the apparent form Of the
vault Of the sky? There is probably
no one to whose eyes it seems true
hemisphere, with its zenith appearing
as distant as the horizon. At sea,
or in a fiat country, the seeming
greater distance of the horizon is best
shown. One authority. in discussing
this question, reaches the conclusion
that the form of the vault, in vertical
section, is that of the segment of a
circle, the arc of which subtends at
the center an angle of the order OF
40 degrees. If the reader will draw
such a segment, he may be surprised
by the amount of flattening, which is
thus ascribed to the sky. From this
optical illusion many curious effects
arise, such as the seeming increased
magnitude of the sun and moon when
near the horizon, and the apparently
oval form of halos and coronas seen
at low attitudes.
