THOUGHT EARTH HOLLOW
Peculiar Theory, In Which Many Had
Faith, That Was Put Forward
by John c. Symmes.

John G. Symmes (1779-1S29) be-
lieved that the globe was hollow and
Inhabited. He claimed the earth was
open at the poles to admit air. and
contained within 1t other concentric
hollow globes all inhabited in like
manner. In 1923 congress was petit
toned to send an expedition to test
out his theory, with himself in charge.
but the matter was dropped. Hum
boldt states that Symmes often invited
himself and Humphrey Davy to de-
scend to the earth's interior and in
vestigate animal and plant life.
Symmes said the inside Of the earth
was lighted by two subterranean suns
which he named "Pluto" and "Proser-
pine" Arctic exploration and the dis
covery of the north and south poles
proved part of his theory myth.
An official of Koreshan Unity says
that the earth's concavity is proved
by an actual United States geodetic
survey-"A straight line extended at
right angles from perpendicular post
over land or water surface will meet
the water or surface Of the earth, at
distance proportionate to the height
Of the perpendicular"

Mora, Beauty.

I hold 1t certain that he who has
learned to distinguish the delicate
from the common, the ugly from the
beautiful, has gone half the way to
knowing the evil from the good. 1t is
true that mere good taste is not. as
the dilettante might wish. the only cri-
terion Of human actions; yet one
should not, with the narrow ascetic.
consider 1t lure to error, deceitful
guide. We would not indicate it as a
certain path to the right; but as a
parallel and nearby road which keeps
near to itself the step and vision of
the wayfarer. In the measure that hui
mainly progresses 1t sees that the
moral law is but beauty Of conduct; it
shows evil and error like discord /;
and will seek for the good as re-
stored harmony.-Jose Enrique Rodo,

FORGOT DATE CT WEDDING
English Newspaper Reports Odd Hap
pening That Is Somewhat Hard
to Believe.

Here Is case recorded by the Lon
don Daily Mail where it was the bride
groom who waited In vain at the
church. He had obtained the license,
fixed the time-noOn on Monday-and
had written to his fiancee at Nor
witch well In advance.
On Monday he sat down at the Of
flee with two friends to await the
BRIDES arrival. Three hours passed,
and the registrar said that as it was
8 o'clock the ceremony could not take
place that day.
Next day at noon the bride and her
mother appeared at the registrars Of
fee, but there was no bridegroom.
II am sure 1t is today" she said
when the registrar could find no ap-
pointment. and then by a comparison
of names he found that she was the
bride who should have come the day
before.
She went away and soon after 2
o'clock both bride and groom reap
peared together and were married.
While the bride had been on her
way from Norwic on Monday after
noon the groom had been In train
going to Norwich to learn the cause
Of the delay.

SPHINX CARVED BY NATURE
Impressive Figure in the Oklahoma
Panhandle Evidently the Work
Of Wind and Sand.

America has a sphinx of its OWE.
No master sculptor planned tie mas
sive head; no human hand formed the
textures. Yet there II stands. In the
valley of the Cimarron river, in the
Oklahoma Panhandle, sphinx never
theless rugged. aggressive and typ
ically American, carved and fashioned
by the sharp tools of nature-wind
and sand And all who go to learn
the answer to its riddle will ask in
vain; for the mouth Is shut tight and
the profile is unfriendly, as If the
lonely figure had a heart Of stone.
The sphinx" stands in the midst
Of hitherto little-known wonderland
that the construction Of state high
way has opened up. Until compare
lively recently the beautiful Cimarron
valley was hard place to reach;
today automobiles whlz up and down
the well-built highway that traverses
the south shore Of the river, On either
side the walls of the valley tower for
more than a thousand feet. and the
grotesque wind and sand sculptured
rocks on every hand hold you spell
bound.
The Sphinx" which is the chief
wonder of the place, is the represen-
tation of a woman's head. The eyes.
the nose and the mouth are perfectly
proportional, and the brown-tinted
sandstone of which the figure is COM
hriv nt1f fnQfnrn in
sharp contrast, especially against
background Of cloudless blue sky on
summer day. Standing alone on top
Of small hill, she commands a view
Of the new highway for miles to the
east and to the west. Perhaps her
riddle has to do with the problem of
our increasing motor traffic. If so,
no wonder she is silent Youths
Companion.

MADE FOR WAR AND PEACE
TomahaWk Pipe Presented to Wiscon.
Gin Museum ls One of Rarest Of
Indian Souvenirs.

A strange combination Of war
weapon and peace pipe, known as a
tomahawk pipe, was presented short
time ago to the Wisconsin historical
museum, Madison, by Mrs. Helen Nc
Neil, Stoughton. The head Of the pipe
Is Of cas-. brass with steel cutting
edge, and the handle is Of hardwood,
with hollow groove through 1t for the
pipe stem. About three thimblefuls
Of tobacco can be held In the top Of
the blade, which is hollow and bowl
shaped.
The origin Of the tomahawk pipe
dates from the time of the French
Indian war. Indians on the march in
sisted on carrying their stone pipes,
and the pipes, in addition to the stone
tomahawks, added to the weight of
the marching equipment, so some
genius devised this odd combination
Of pipe and tomahawk.
The pipe just presented to the mu-
scum is claimed to be the only one
Of Its kind in existence In this part
Of the country, and was once in the
possession Of one Of Blackhawk's
sQuaws. During the removal of the
Indians from Illinois to Nebraska, in
1922, ten years before Blackhawk's ia
nous retreat, Capt. Charles Mcneil, of
the United States army, allowed the
squaw to ride because she was Ill. As
mark Of gratitude, she presented the
tomahawk pipe to him.-Wisconsin

WRIGLEY'S GIFTS TO REPUBII-
CANS PROVE TO BE FINE
F INVESTMENTS.

Press wires spread the glad tidings
that the William Wrigley, Jr., Com
pany of Chicago reports net profits
of $6,146,635, after taxes, for the
year ended December 81, 1922.
This is an increase of $2,435,958
over the company's net profits in the
previous year.
Among the taxes repealed by the
Republican Congress in 1921 was
that imposed on the manufacturers
of chewing gum. This was one of
the few taxes absorbed by the manu-
facturers. official reports of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
show that manufacturers of chew
ing gum in Illinois paid an aggregate
of $561,772.96 on their output in
1920. The Wrigley Company is by
long odds the largest manufacturer
of chewing gum in Illinois. 1t is
estimated that it's taxes in 1920
were about 100000.
In the presidential campaign of
1920 William Wrigley, head of the
Wrigley Company, placed it's adver-
Using agencies, bill boards, display
signs, etc., at the disposal of the Re-
publican National Committee and in
addition made a large contribution
to the Republican campaign fund.
One year later the tax on chewing
gum-a luxury-was repealed and a
tariff was levied on food, clothing
and necessaries.

The Data Palm.

Date palms, originally brought from
Egypt, have been growing in Arizona
for 20 years. The early paintings of
the University of Arizona, which have
now come into full bearing, seem to
prove that certain parts Of the South
west are particularly suited to date
culture. An old Arabian proverb says,
.The date must have its head In the
FIRE and Its feet In the water" The
usual yield of a tree is eight punches,
weighing each about II pounds,
though they sometimes weigh as much
as A pounds. Some Of the Arizona
trees have produced as many as 16
heavy clusters-Youth's Companion.
