Mast Suffered Under
Handicap of Shyness

Excessive shyness was an affiiction
Of Thomas Mast, the great cartoonist,
who lifted caricature from its obscur-
ity to its present position as one of the
most potent agencies for creating and
influencing public opinion. He was
appalled, at the very thought Of hav-
ing to face crowd in person. After
other agencies had coaxed in vain for
his services on the lecture platform,
Redpath's succeeded only after a rep
resentative had camped on his trail
for months. 1t was explained to the
artist that he could keep his back to
his audience, letting his crayon do
most of the talking, and need turn
only occasionally for a brief remark.
Mast signed up for the tour of illus
trated lectures and the brief SIMPLE
ity of his remarks made quite a hit
with his audiences. On one occasion
in Philadelphia he went to his black
board on the stage and rapidly drew
the outlines of a great building, then
turning his head he remarked dryly:
"You see I can draw house." AS
the theater was packed, the audience
decided he had intended the possible
double meaning and storm of ap-
plause ensued. He earned $4,000 that
season, but got "homesick" toward the
close and Cancelled engagements that
would have brought $1,000 more

a certain famous cathedral town the
parlor maid at the deanery had this

as she saw 1t, was Of dirty purplish
color, splotched with spatches of bill

one of the greatest blackguards that
ever lived, Benvenuto Cellini, claimed
the possession Of a halo, "a resplen-
dent light above his head" which ap-
peared at dawn and sunset and
showed best when the grass was wet
with dew. Benvenuto considered that
this halo was a signal mark of the
divine approval Of his virtuous life,
but in this he must have been mis-
taken. If he had halo at all it must

Unable to Find Craze
of Button GUinnetf

Your interesting article about But
ton Gwinnett indicates that you may
be interested in brief quotation from
the most recent work on Button GwiE-
nett by Charles Francis Jenkins, of
Philadelphia. On page 154 there is
the following: 1T is not known
where Gwinnett was buried, nor have
we any details of his funeral service.
AS Rev. James Foley was paid for
funeral expenses, the inference is he
was the officiating clergyman. 1t is
supposed that his grave is in the old
Colonial cemetery, now called Co.
lonial park, within the limits of the
city of Savannah. His executor pro-
vided a gravestOne, but this has dis
appeared. Indeed, there is a news
paper story current that his stone was
at one time used as the top of a bar
In grOg shop in Savannah. In 1913,
when the monument to the signers was
erected in the city of Augusta, every
effort was made to find Gwinnett's re-
mains in order that they might rest
with those of his associates, Lyman
Hall and George Walton, who were
inferred under the monument" Rich

Seek Treasure Troue
in Bermuda Islands

A touch Of romance is given to Ber-

which abound there. Several of the
islands are said to have been used by
the Spaniards In early times for hid

exist In ancient records. On one oc-
casiOn number Of Spanish gold coins
were discovered at spot afterward
called Money Place Rock. 1t Is known
that in the early days Of Atlantic nav
igatiOn galleons, often richly loaded,
used Bermuda as landmark while
on their way from South America and
the West Indies to Spain by way Of
the Azores. Owing to the existence
Of many coral reefs off the Bermuda
coast, these vessels were occasionally
wrecked, and now lie beneath the
cora! formations of past centuries. In
some instances it is possible that
treasure was salvaged and buried.
Not many years ago an American Wis

his departure for New York an empty
space and drill holes were noticed by
people living near by. Whether he
really found treasure hoard remains

Y. w. G.. A. NOTES

We are looking forward to a visit
from Mrs. Cordellia Winn, national
Y. w. C. A. secretary for Colored
Work in cities, some time in April.
A splendid musical program was
rendered at our Vesper Service Sun
day afternoon with a very large
crowd in attendance. Mrs. B. H.
Miller, as always proved herself a
reader of special ability. The vocal
duet by Mrs. Cora Grissom and Mrs.
T. H. Lyles, in Mrs. Lyles own COM
position as well as the vocal selec-
lions. by Mrs. Kathryn Vaudeville
and Mr.. Alfred Shute were highly
enjoyed by the audience.

Division of Time in
Daily Round of Life

AS rule, the hours of sleep should
about balance the hours of work, and
it Is estimated that a man who has
lived half a century has slept 5000
and worked $500 hours; but as he
began to sleep as SOON as he was born,
and did not begin to work until he
had reached his teens these figures
show at least an hour a day more
work than sleep.
The average man of fifty will prob
ably have spent 800 days in simply
walking from place to place, or, at
any rate, in using his legs, and if we
allow three miles an hour, moderate
allowance, it gives mileage of $1,000,
or a little over three miles a day.
Thus at fifty a man has walked twice
round the world with 5000 miles to
spare.
Probably, also, the average man of
fifty has spent about 1000 days in
amusement, and another 1900 in eat
ing and drinking.

Granite Worn Smooth
by Millions of Feet

Trails worn deep in the granite of
Sawtooth mountain, towering 1880
feet above sea level, tell the story to-
day Of hunting parties of primitive
man, says the Rocky Mountain News.
How many years these trails were in
the making even scientists have failed
to fix.
From earliest times these Colorado
mountains, now in the Cochetopa ma
tional forest, were the hunting place
of man. Antelopes, deer, buffaloes
and elks existed In almost countless
numbers, while the stream abounded
with fish. Ages before the first white
man, Spaniard, in 1900, entered these
wilds man had hunted, and in the days
Of this adventurous Spaniard up to
very recent years Indians swarmed
through this wonderful hunting
ground.
Trails across the mountains made
by moccasined feet still may be seen,
and those worn into the solid granite
of Sawtooth are mute evidence of the
great lapse of time since the first man
broke the way through the forest.
To the student vacationist these
trails have proved of vast interest,
as they. have to scientists. They are
visible proof that man lived in Colo
RADIO in the dim past-how far back
the anthropologist has not given even
a guess.

Vacation Values

Some men need their vacation in
the summer, others in the winter;
some need two weeks, others need
more; vacations should be planned
according to the requirements of the
individual person.
These are some conclusions that
were reached in one large manufac-
turing concern in which the health of
the higher executives has been watched
over for the last six years by a ply
sician. Causes of absence and Ill
ness were found to be related to the
duration and season of the vacation.
The efficiency of the men increased
gratifyingly, as did their health, I'M
der the new regime, whereby each
mans vacation was prescribed by the
physician.-New York World.

Scotland Yard Wants

From George Dilnot's "Story of

ing of the detective chauffeur:
ga candidate is taken to a remote
country lane with an official sitting ut
his side.
"a shot rings out and he is informed
that one arm is wounded With one
hand, therefore, he has to continue his
journey at speed.
again, bundle of hay is thrown
in front Of the car Unexpectedly. He
has to dodge this obstacle without the
faintest hesitation.
''In quick succession a bewildering
number Of orders is raped out, each
of which has to be instantly Obeyed.
MANY of these cars have wireless,
by which constant touch may be main
tanned with headquarters, either by
telephone or with the Morse CODE"
A spy may do with an argus eye,
but the sleuth in the Scotland Yard
car must have an iron nerve.

Divisions of Civilization

For convenience, the following d.
visions of the nine periods of civiliza-
ton have been made: The lower period
of savagery terminated with the use
of fire; the middle period with the use
of the bow and arrow; upper period
Of savagery with the invention and
use of pottery and utensils. Lower
period of barbarism terminated with
the domestication of animals; middle,
process of smelling iron ore; upper,
system of writing and literary COM
position. The first civilized period
terminated with the use of gunpowder !;
second, with the perfection of the
steam engine. The present period has

Eorth's Circumference

The distance around the world was
a subject of study by the ancient
Greek mathematicians. Aristotle says
that mathematicians of his time found
that the circumference of the earth
was the equivalent of 10000 miles. 1t
was Eratosthenes &C. $50 B. c. who
first had an accurate idea of the prin-
ciples of determining this figure. His
results were inaccurate, but his meth
cd was substantially that which is still
employed at the present time. The
dimensions of the earth which have
been very generally adopted are those
of Gen. A. r. Clarke published in 1866.

A member of the lily family is the
Joshua tree, a true desert growth.
Gaunt and twisted, growing usually in
twos and threes, these trees seem to
be neither tree nor shrub-too stunted
to be the first and two grotesque to
be the last. Many of them are black
ened by fire. Some are rotted down
and broken off. They serve as bon
fires for desert wanderers, although
sagebrush and crossword are more
easily gathered.

A big firm of London caterers keeps

peeling potatoes. These boys are so
expert that some can peel seventy
pounds weight of potatoes in an hour.
Once a year there is competition in
which money prizes are offered for
dexterity in potato peeling. Each boy
has twenty-eight pounds Of potatoes to
peel, and the winner usually accom-
plishes this task in something under
twenty minutes. The record belongs
to lad who peeled his quarter hun
dredweight in eighteen minutes twen-
ty-five seconds.

Fish Haze Mechanics

AS rule, sea fish, not river fish,
have nicknames. The red mullet, for
instance, is often called the sea wood
cock because Of it's taste, and the dab
is sometimes known as salter.
Fishermen call the hake the sea
pike because its shape is little like
that of the pike, and they term a
founder a flock or fluka.
One of the gurnards has the name of
cuckoogurnard, by reason of the odd
sound it makes when caught.
