LAW NOT STEVENSON'S FORTE

Robert Louis Stevenson, the famous
Scottish novelist and essayist, was an
advocate by rofesSion-member OF the
Scottish bar-but he never practiced.
He hated the law-or at least the
practice of it-and abandoned it for
literature as quickly as he could. AT
the bar in Edinburgh, Lord Shaw of
Dunfermline (then Mr.. Thomas Shaw,
advocate) had an interesting view of
Stevenson as an advocate. He writes

When great scientist named Sir

filled by small shot and smaller than
those occupied by cricket balls" And

A pair Of rats will have 100 young

MIRAGE in History.

A mirage is an optical illusion, by
which images of distant objects are
seen often as if inverted, below the
ground or raised in the atmosphere. 1t
is frequently observed on the western
plains of Canada and the United
States The phenomenon is best OBJ
served in the Egyptian or other des-
erts, and the inverted images so much
resemble these made in water as to
create the illusion that lake is really
near. The mirage was known in an
Gent Jewish times. 1t is mentioned
In Isaiah 1871: And the parched
ground shall become a pool and the
thirsty land springs of water" The
Fata Morgana, what sailors call the
'1oomings," the Flying Dutchman, the
Enchanted Island, Cape Flyaway, etc.,
are all produced by the mirage.

Origin Of Welsh language.

While some Welshmen claim that
the Welsh language was that spoken
by Adam and Eve, others more modest
only insist that it was one of the
original languages spoken at the Tower
of Babel. Some cynics admit this, and
tell the story of its origin thus:
One Of the masons at the top of the
tower had plenty Of mortar but no
bricks The tower had reached such
a height that he could not make the
man below hear him when he called
for more bricks. At last the latter,
with wide-open mouth, called up:
What? Then the mason, exasper-
ated, threw down a trowel of mortar
which, lodging in the throat of the
man below, resulted in his speaking
Welsh for the first time, and accounts
for the cultural character of the Ian
guage.

@Spear Thrower," Relic or Early
America, Indicates Common cuI.
ture in the Country.

A spear thrower" or .'throwing
stick" found among the implements
of the prehistoric people of America
in caves IN the Ozark mountains In
Missouri and Arkansas, may be an
important aid in lifting the mystery
which enshrouds the ancient cultures
of the American continents. The
throwing stick is the only article so
far unearthed which furnishes any
connection between these people and
others which have existed on this con-
tinent. The weapon is extremely
stick one to two inches in diameter
and about IS inches long, notched at
one end and perforated at the other,
with sometimes one, sometimes two
holes. Into these holes the prehistoric
man thrust his fingers, affixed his
short-shafted stone-headed dart to the
notched end, raised the stick over his
shoulder, and by means of a quick,
Jerking movement of the arm hurled
the dart at enemy or game.
Close adaptations of the weapon are
found among the ruins of prehistoric
American civilization extending from
Peru far north beyond the Arctic circle.
The weapon seems to have been uni
versal to all chimes of the western
hemisphere and to all periods. even
down to the present day, when it Is
still in use among the Eskimos of the
Arctic, and the Tarascan Indians In
the Patzcuaro lake region of Mexico.
1t furnishes possible missing link
between the prehistoric civilization Of
the western half of the continent and
those Of the extreme East.
