Swedish Vikings Not
Only Great Fighters

The Swedish viking was not merely
a feared raider. He was also a busi-
nessllke trader. This fact has been
demonstrated by archaeological dis
coveries, and Swedish scientists have
concluded that while the written sagas
lay greater emphasis on the warlike
exploits, the unwritten record dug up
from beneath the ground presents
better-balanced picture. In other words,
the Viking has been victim of con
temporary yellow Journalism on the
part of the "skalds" or mlnstrels. The
more sober modern scientists have set
out to right the balance.
Even in the Bronze age, long before
the Viking era, Sweden had an active
foreign trade, the archaeological finds
disclose, so that the traditions of reg
ular Swedish imports and exports are
at least $500 years old. Ancient i'm
plements, weapons, coins and pottery
found In Sweden prove that the In
habitants entertained trade relations
with their neighbOrs on the European
continent as early as 5000 years ago.
These relations attained their hey
day about 1900 to 1900 B. G. The art,
ornaments, designs and habits Of the
Mediterranean people strongly infu-
enced the Swedes, through the latter
developed them into an Independent
and national Swedish cuture.-Ex-
change.

ISeismograph in Place
of the Priests of Peiee

Tidal waves used to be things that
bust happened. They swooped down
Unexpectedly, destroyed life and left
the shores strewn with the wrecks of
ships. Nowadays tidal waves are not
so much to be feared, for men have
learned to read the advance signs OF
nature. The warning sent out from
Kilauea volcano observatory in Ha-
wall several hours in advance of a
possible tidal wave gave people more
than ample time to make themselves
snug and moor their ships fast.
Luckily, If the earthquake 2,20O
miles away did cause a wave, 1t was
not serious in Hawaii. And Pelee,
looking down from the place where
exlled goddesses abide, If there be
such a place, must have been pleased
that what science predicted did not
amount to much. For Pelee was the
goddess who dwelt In the eternal fires,
of Kilauea until the missionaries!
chased her out. Her ancient priests,
too, uttered their prophecies of tidal
waves. The difference is that the
men who now make the predictions,
depend upon the seismograph. Pelee's
priests relied on the wrath of Pelee.
against people who did not behave to-
suit them.

Distance of Horizon

+ The actual distance of the horizon
depends upon the height above sea
level Of the eyes of the observer. The
horizon is always as far away as one
can see. The higher one goes up from
a given point the greater the distance
of the horizon. The observer looking
out over the land or sea from high
place can see more Of the earth's
round surface before the curve of the
surface takes things beyond the range
Of vision. II one stands on a cliff 100
feet high at the seashore and looks to-
ward a point where a ship is coming
toward the shore, the ship can be seen
much sooner than II standing at sea
level. In exact words, one sees &C.
tUally more Of the earth's surface the
higher up one is because, with the in
crease Of elevation, ones position in
relation to the curvature Of the earth's
surface changes.

Device That Measures
Temperature of Moon

Modern observatories are equipped
with instruments whereby the temper
ature of the moon can be measured.
The temperature of the moon depends
upon the amount of heat 1t receives,
the amount 1t reflects, and Its rate OF
radiation. 1t is easy to measure with
some approximation the amount OF
heat the earth receives from the moon,
but 1t is not easy to determine what
part is reflected and what part radi-
ated. When the moon passes into the
earth's shadow so that the direct rays
Of the sun are cut off, then all the
heat received from the moon Is that
radiated and this can be measured.
and from the amount received and
the rate at which 1t decreases as the.
eclipse continues, 1t is possible to de-
termine approximately the rate at
which the moon loses heat by radia-
ton, and from this the temperature to
which 1t has been raised. Observa-'
lions show that the amount Of heat
received from the moon diminishes
very rapidly after 1t passes into the
earth's shadow. This indicates that
Its radiation is very rapid.

he sits down to his meals he is fed
by two attendants, who arrange NOR

Surgery's Great Debt
to Humble Guinea Pig

If guinea pig could live long
enough, he might become something,
Of a scientist himself. His constant
association is with scientists and with
the most daring and advanced. He
might himself solve the mystery of
why he is called guinea pig, being
neither a pig nor originating in
Guinea.
When memorials are reared to those
who have done the most for medical
and biological science, shouldn't the
guinea pig have one-even a statue,
Robert Collier, writing in the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, asks. This small an
final has suffered, bled and died for
the human race. We owe it honors.
II is a vicarious martyr, for surgery,
now the wonder of the world, going
so far as to rejuvenate man, could Sc
cure so much thorough and convinc-
ing results, If it could practice on man
instead o: guinea pigs. In this, the
knife must wait on time and circum-
stance, and go slowly, for there are
few voluntary guinea pigs among hui
man creatures.

Almanacs Once Prohibited

Almanacs date back to early civiliza-
ton. 1t is known that the Greeks
and Romans had them. Some of the
Oldest almanacs in existence were pub
lished during the Thirteenth and Four
teenth centuries. The Almanach Lie
gecis was typical in that 1t contained
dire prophecies. This almanac, which
became famous by predicting the end
of Nine. Du Barry's career found a
great circulation in rural France, and
provided, for those who could not
read, an easily understood system Of
symbols. So great was the influence
of these almanacs over superstitious
people that at one time almanacs were
prohibited in France.
