PeruUi0ns Leaders in
Highway Construction

The earliest American highways
were constructed by the Peruvians.
The Incas constructed highway be-
tween Quito and Cuzco % feet wide
In places this road was paved with
large stones, often 10 feet square.
Trees were planted on each side Of
the roadway, and, wherever necessary,
retaining walls of stone were made.
Several of the other early American
peoples in South and CentraleAmerica
built similar roads. A proclamation
Issued by the government Of New
York in 1854 showed how our early
roads were made. 1t stated: THE
highways are to be cleared as follows,
viz: The way to be made clear of
standing and lying trees, at least 10
feet broad; all stumps and shrubs to
be cut close to the ground. The trees
to be marked yearly on both sides;
sufficient bridges to be made and kept
over all marshy, swampy and difficult
dirty places, and whatever else shall
be thought more necessary about the
highways aforesaid"

"Polarized" Light and Plants

All plants grow by the action of
light, which substance in their
leaves converts into energy. Different
species of plants, however, thrive best
on different varieties Of what we call
eight" This really consists of an
infinite number of vibrations in the
ether, the medium which fills all space,
and through which our wireless waves
travel. But while in the case of the
sun these vibrations run in all direc-
tions, the vibrations of moonlight are
"polarized" and run in one direction
only. This polarized light Is best
suited for the growth OF certain plants,
such as, for instance, cucumbers, and
indeed, in some experimental farms,
light has been artifcially polarized for
their special benefit. How far the
system may be developed we do not
yet know, but it is literally true that
some plants do grow better in moon
light.-Family Herald.

Ancient Peoples Not
Really So Backward

Inhabitants of the earth 5000 years
ago We're not so backward as one
might think, discoveries by members
of joint expedition of the University
of Pennsylvania and the British mu-
scum to Ur of the Chaldees have
shown
Flint blades, about the size of
safety-razor blades, that were indie
structible and never needed honing or
sharpening, were found The blades
were still as sharp as when used, with
out holders, by the prehistoric dan
dies.
A sewerage system in the temple of
the Moon God, used to dispose of
blood from animals used for sacrifices,
equaled many of those today, accord
ing to the scientists.
Relics will be divided equally be-
tween the two museums. They show
that many things thought to be mod
ern inventions were used in Or of the
Chaldees more than fifty centuries ago,
and, 1t is said, prove that life then did
not differ greatly from ours.

Reason for Belief
in Lost Continent

Does the Atlantic ocean roll over
lost continent? lie Plongeon, who
deciphered the hieroglyphics among
the ruins of Yucatan, in Central Amer
lea, came upon inscriptions describing
q catastrophe which submerged the old
Atlantean continent, legends of which
have survived in literature from the
earliest times.
1t may be that this catastrophe gave
rise to the equally widespread belief
in the food which destroyed the early
inhabitants of our planet. Certain it
is that the American continent, al
though called the New world, is
geologically the oldest land on the
globe, and the monuments found in
the iungles of Yucatan were ancient
when the pyramids of Egypt were
built.
The catastrophe is supposed to have
taken place about 5000 B. c., and at
that time there was a highly organ
lied civilization in Yucatan, which
would seem to be a remnant Of the
lost continent. 1t is not very large
country, yet, in spite Of the great
difficulties of exploration, the ruins of
172 cities have been discovered. Some
of these are so extensive that they
must have contained half a million in
habitants, and 1t is possible that the
pyramids found in the jungle gave the
pattern at a much later date to the
pharaohs of Egypt,

Germans Work Many Dogs

In Germany there are many dogs OF
all descriptions. Big dogs, little dogs,
long-legged police dogs, legless dachs-
hunds and others go to make up the
four million dogs in that country-one
to every fifteen persons. Over three
fourths of these dogs live in the coun-
try or rural districts, where they per-
form duties enough to earn their daily
bread. There are more than five thou
sand dogs in the military and police
services and they all must work hard
for their nying.-Exchanga

REDS" GETS into
TROUBLE WITH BUS
McCloskey Held Up BY Public Ser
vice Railway Attache.

Harry McCloskey, of this city, on
Monday morning surprised the trav-
cling public with his appearance on
the street with a brand new Stude-
baker special six bus. McCloskey is
the only one who holds franchise
to operate bus line along the Public
Service railway tracks, and which is
said to cover Burlington county.
Monday, the first day of the bu
proved to be just what the public
wanted, and in many instances the
trolley was left to go by and the
travellers waited for the big green
and yellow bus. One bus however
will not meet the demands Ct the peo-
pie which McCloskey soon found out
and he has now decided to give the
people of this vicinity real honest
to-goodness transit service, and will
shortly put on three additional buss-
es.
The only thing to MARI the sue
cessful start of the line was the Pub
lie Service operatives at the River
side district, who went to the River
side Township authorities and COM
planned that "Reds" did not have a
permit to run through the town Of
Riverside.
This bit of information at once
started the wheels of justice moving
and Policeman Edward Pfaff station
ed himself on the corner to await
the appearance of the bus. He had
no sooner placed himself when it
came along the skillful guidance of
s'Hen" Bowers, of Delanco, one of the
most experienced automobile drivers
throughout the state.
The bus was hauled over to the
City Hall and Bowers arrested, and
when the nature of the charge was
explained to the young driver smile
lit up his countenance and he prompt
ly informed the stalwart policeman
who made the arrest, that "Reds'
had made application to the Town
ship Clerk for permit.
This statement was verified by off
GERS of the Township and the bus
went on its way with Hen" giving
the Public Service officials who were
watching to see the downfall of theii
competitor, the merry razz."

her MARKET VALUE"
A FINE PHOTOPLAY
Agnes Ayres Does Splendid Work In
Screen Version of London Play.

There is a wealth of entertainment
in "Her Market Value" Paul Powell
Production, starring Agnes Ayres,
which will be shown for the first time
to benefit The Beverly Fire Company
No on Wednesday evening next at
the Bever-Lee Theatre. The picture
is an adoption of Olga PrintxIau of
Frances Nordstrom's sensational Lon
don stage success, which for more
han year has been on view at the
same theatre in the English capitol.
The story centers around Nancy
Dumont, beautiful young widow of
he smart set, whose suicide husband
has left her penniless. Three men
friends form pool of $4,000 which
they give to her as a legacy from
her late husband But with two of
he men it is not a matter of altruism
and it is not long before each of
hem is endeavoring to buy the other
two out in order to gain control, as
they term it, of ''the Dumont stock"
Miss Ayres is delightful in her role
of the young widow and her sup
port is thorough throughout. OF the
supporting players Anders Randolf
perhaps stands out the most promi-
nently as Cyrus Hamilton, power
in the financial world. Taylor
Holmes, popular stage star, gives an
excellent performance as social
rounder. Hedda Hopper's exotic
beauty forms delightful contrast TO
Miss Ayre's blonde loyeliness. Others
in the cast are. Edward Earle, Ger
trude Short, Sidney Bracy and George
Irving.
You can't go wrong on this one
It's a picture with an appeal for
everyone and story that will appeal
to the intellect as well.
