Hugh Miller, master Of picturesque
English prose, began life as a ston,
mason in the quarries of Cromarty

hammer and chisel, and his chief liter
ary work, Scenes and Legends il

a Jealous supporter of the nonintru
sion principle that shook the Churcl
of Scotland at the time, and as sucl
wrote pamphlets that created mucl
stir, so that in 1910 he was called t.
the editorial chair of the Edinburgh
Witness. We owe to him several in
teresting books, of which perhap
1.-THE Testimony of the Rocks" print
ed in 1857. is the most remarkable.
His life had been simple, his mean
small, but the unceasing trials ant
distractions of journalism, together
with the strain of his other literary
work, unhinged his mind, and wher
but f1fty-six years old, in an impulse
Of madness, he shot himself on Christ

Unearth Old Temples
in Southern German,

Remains of a whole series of an.
cient Roman temples have been un.
earthed at Trier, Germany, on the
Moselle, by DR. Siegfried Loeschke, OF
the Provincial museum at Trier.
Archeologists regard the find as of
great Importance, inasmuch as nc
previous discoveries had been made
giving any indication of the religious
life OF the people during the period
of Roman occupation, though other
Roman ruins were known there as
well as in other cities of South Ger

There were several divinities entirely

There is also an image of a horned

Wonder RailGDdy

The Buenos Ayres and Pacific rail-
way is probably the most wonder
ful In the world.
Though the two ternini, Buenos
Ayres and Valparaiso, are tropical
towns, the line, owing to the immense
elevation il attains In crossing the
Andes, runs for hundreds Of miles
through a region Of eternal snow, and
Is frequently blocked by avalanches.
Amongst its wonders is a spiral tun-
mel that cost $5,OO0.OOO to build, a nat
ural bridge of rock, and a string Of
118 steel bridges linked together by
short stretches of solid permanent
way.

glowing worms which give the rocks
the appearance Of being studded with

THEY ALL ADVERTISE

A hen is not supposed to have
Much common sense or tact,
Yet every time she lays an egg
She cackles forth the fact.
A rooster hasn't got a lot
Of intellect to show.
But none the less more roosters
have
Enough good sense to crow.
The mule, the most despised of all,
Has a most persistent way
Of letting folks know he's around
By his insistent bray.
The busy little bees they buzz,
The bulls below and cows moo,
The watchdogs bark, the ganders
quack
And doves and pigeons coo;
The peacock spreads his tail and
squawks,
Pigs squeal and robins sing,
And even serpents know enough
To hiss before they sting.
But man, the greatest masterpiece
That nature could devise,
Will often stop and hesitate
Before he'll advertise.

archaeology School in Gaze

Prof. George Collie, head of the
anthropology department at Beloit col
lege at Beloit, Wis. is planning on
going to Europe and starting a school
of archaeology in cave in southern
France. Only about a dozen students
will be permitted to attend the school
at one time and they will have to SUP
port themselves while there. The main
purpose of the school is to test the
theory that man originated in south
western France. Although Professor
Collie himself believes man originated
in Africa, he is willing to test the
theory advanced that France was the
cradle of the human race. If the plan
is carried out, the school itself will be
in one of the prehistoric caves. Lodg-
ing accommodations for the students
will be close at hand.-Pathfinder Mag

Excellent Reason Why
Wife Bosses Husband

The ambitions of a normal girl are
two; first, to secure husband who Is
sufficiently prosperous to maintain her
in luxury; second, to boss him. me
first ambition is seldom realized; the
second almost Invariably is.
Two factors contribute to the reali-
cation Of the second ambition; the nus
bands love, which makes him amen
able and long suffering, and the wife
love, which makes her watchful, per-
sistent and unyielding.
1t is not, as many suppose, car
complex that prompts wife to be the
keeper of her husbands conscience anu
the director of all his ways. 1t is love.
nothing less.
Because she loves him she wishes to
keep him from the follies that would
serve him ill., to shield him from the
dsvil that is within him, and to make
him the perfect creature her love
would have him be.
That is mother instinct, and it is
aroused by the fact that her husband
functions much as a small boy func-
tons He tells her his troubles, he
CLOVIS under her praise; he pouts when
she hurts his tender feelings
Her efforts to boss doubtless are
commendable, but the first essential in
training a mule is to have more sense
than the mule. 1t is one thing to
yearn for authority. and quite another
TO qualify for it.
No man wishes to be bossed, even in
the name of duty and love. The pride
of his manhood is dear to him. Bra
zenly to order him about is to insult
him gratuitously, foolishly and useless
~. The way to bride skittish horse
is to keep the bride behind your back

son appears also TO match for one Of

has been found that the region of the

also have been removed. The prob
lem. therefore, is one Of cutting off
different regions Of the spectrum and
finding the wave-length limits Of the
smallest decrease in the spectrum for
which the original and the comparison
