Nile Valley Ideal Land

Egypt's geography explains why the
country became center of one Of the
two earliest civilizations. Here the
adjoining deserts protected primitive
man from the inroads Of wild beasts
or human enemies. The Nile floods
gave him fertility without the suffer-
ing that rain would have caused his
unprotected body. He had no winter
worthy of the name and thus in an
ideal environment he became rela-
lively prosperous and built a civiliza-
ton.
The monuments Of the early Egyp-
tians have been preserved by the ex-
traordinary climate. Where there are
rain and snow, infiltration of moisture
and freezing, stone is poor bulwark
against time. But Egypt is a country
where there is no rain or snow, no
freezing. Here a stone carved and
placed outdoors is placed there virtu-
ally forever, for there is no decom-
posing force.-Kansas City Times.

WILLIAM H. HUGHES

William H. Hughes, a respected
resident of Elkton died Oct. Z, at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. H. Win
field Lewis, at the advanced age OF
go years.
Mr.. Hughes was native OF Penn
sylyania. He was a carpenter by
trade and for years was employed by
the Pennsylvania railroad company,

twenty years ago. He had lived in
Elkton for sixty years, taking an &C
tive interest in the affairs of the
town, and serving as member OF
the Town Council for several terms.
His wife, who before her marriage
was Miss Mary McCleary, died sew
eral years ago.
Two daughters survive-El1za-
beth, widow of H. Frank Witworth,
and Emma, wife of H. Winfield
Lewis. He is also survived by a
brother, Alfred Hughes, of Washing
ton State, and sister, Mrs. William
Crowl, of Mont Clair, N. ].

Cheetah in India Has
Its Place in Family

In the East the native professional
animal takers sometimes catch Loop
ards in nooses. The leopard, like the
tiger and the panther, has the feline's
habit of sharpening its claws on tree
trunks. The natives aver that the
big cats will preferably use for this
purpose a tree that bears claw marks
previously made. Accordingly, the
animal hunters select such tree and
round and about the trunk set their
strong gut snares.
A cheetah secured for hunting must
be caught when full grown and ac-
complished in his knack Of pulling
down game. Otherwise, no matter to
what extent 1t were trained, it would
never acquire the quickness and per-
ception as in the wild state, when 1t
has to obtain for itself each and every
meal.
In India these cheetahs may be seen
tied to bedsteads and holding place
of their own among their keepers
families. The latter seem not in the
least to fear the beasts. The cheetahs
are carted to the scene of action with
hoods on, and these are removed when
the animal is shown the quarry.

People NotO Getting ass
Amusement to Order

In the past when people needed
recreation they were compelled to q
great extent to provide it for them
selves. If you needed music you had
to sing or play an instrument. If you
wanted a pictorial record Of some per-
son or scene you had to draw and
paint. If you lived in village or out
of-the-way town and wanted drama
you had to act yourself
Today you need do none Of these
things. You turn on the gramophone
or the radio when you need music; you
click your camera when you want a
picture; you go to the village movies
when you want drama. Recreation Is
provided ready made by enormous
joint stock companies.
The play instinct, which found &C.
tive expression in the past, is now
passive. In the days before machin-
cry men and women who wanted to
amuse themselves were compelled, In
their humble way, to be artists. Now
they sit still and permit professionals
to entertain them by the aid Of ma
chinery. 1t is difficult to believe that
general artistic culture can flourish
in this atmosphere Of passivity.-Al-
dous Huxley in Harper's Magazine.

Bottonaless Well

One of the most curious and most
interesting natural wonders to be
found in Arizona is Montezuma well.
This strange lake is located about
the center of the state in an isolated
community. The well itself is some
200 yards across, and, as far as it has
been possible to determine, is bottom
less.
The water in the well is absolutely
clear and pure. It maintains a GER
tain level all the time, which is I'M
affected by the dryness or wetness of
the season. The walls that rise pre-
cautiously above these clear waters
and reflect themselves In them were
at one time the homes of populous
community. For this is the very cen.
ter of what was once the cliff dwell.

people in the midst of civilization.

Speed Limit of Vision

and f. X. Moss, have measured the
eyes speed limit. Your eye moves on
a skip-stop system as it sees or reads.
they say in Popular Science Monthly
After thousands of tests on eleven
subjects they found that to distin
guish an object the average eye must
stand still for about one-seventh of q
second No amount of added illumina
tion will speed it up. Most homes
and factories are not brightly enough
lighted to have reached the limit that
these tests showed. -.

cludes cold chicken and egg sauce,
new potatoes, salad, corn-flour mold,
fruit salad with cream, whole wheat

plain, can be regulated to suit the
