Soldier Needed Help
With Strong Butter

It was on the line Of the Union
Pacific railway, at one Of It's eating
houses. The waiter had cut Off 4
strip Of the omelet with a pair Of
shears; the scorched oatmeal had
been passed around the little rubber
doormats, fried In butter and called
pancakes, had been dealt around the
table. There was no sound In the
dining-rOom except the weak request
Of the coffee for stlmulants, or per-
haps the cry Of pain when the butter,
while practicing with the dumbbells,
would hit a child on the head.
General Sherman sat at one end Of

Sundials Told M0yGns
of Passage of Time

Recent discoveries In the ruined
Maya city Of Copan have proved that
the Mayas' method of counting the
passage OF time was OF highly ac
curate nature. The Inhabitants OF the
city had In reality form OF gigantic
sundial for obtaining the necessary
data by taking observations from an
eastern hilltop to pillar OF stone or
stella erected on prominent western
hill approximately four and half
miles away across the valley In which
lay the city. Clear evidence has been
found that correction was made at
some date after the western stella had
been set up, by the fact that the col.
umn was moved from Its original posi-.
ton In the center of the stone base TO
another position farther north. The
correction was made when the NOV.
able New Years day fell on the same
date as the commencement Of the
Maya agricultural year. In the irst
place the sun set directly behind the
western stella on April o and Septem
Der 2, but after the removal the dates
were altered to April 5 and Septem-

When Gen. Chinese" Gordon took

African elephants he was only repeat
Ing history. says the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger. For antiquarians believe
that the African elephants which were
used by Hannibal in his crossing Of
the Alps were inferior to the Indian
ones and that they were for the most
d part controlled and guided by Indian
mnhouts. Polybius is quoted as saying
that at the battle of Raphia, Antio-
chus had Indian and Ptolemy Az
rlcan elephants. These animals. de-
picted on Carthnginlan coins. are
clearly OF the African type. as shown
by their large ears. The indications
are that the art OF elephant training
in those early days originated In India
and was brought from there TO Africa.
