Our Debt to the Indian

People fail to realize how great an
influence the red men have had on
our present thought, religion, and
language. Every town, county, and
state is filled with Indian names. Our
school books are full of Indian pro-
verbs and our very characters are
modified and often nodded by our con-
tact with the red men of the wilder
ness. There is scarcely a doubt that
the dignity, reserve, and stately mien
for which George Washington was
famous were derived from his expert
ence and training in the councils of
the Indians. Every cigarette smoker
of today is but making a white mans
vice of a religious ceremony of the
red men. Snowshoes, birch-bark ca
noes from which our canvas ones are
modelled, the game of lacrosse, and the
sign language, are examples of the
inventions of our Indians.-Dan Beard
in Boys Life.

Rose in All Ages Has
Lent Itself to Legend

Every language seems TO have its
legends of the rose. A Hindu myth
says that Vishu discovered his wife
in the heart Of rose. A Greek myth
tells how Cupid exacted from the god
Of silence a promise that the loves of
his mother. Venus, be not betrayed;
the oath was taken under the rose"
and to this day we use the idiomatic
phrase Sub rosa" to denote secrecy.
A Persian legend relates that when
Nimrod commanded the infant prophet,
Abraham, be thrown upon the pyre and
destroyed, the flames turned to roses
"whereon the child slumbered sweet
ly." AS charming is parallel story
related by Sir John Vaudeville: a
maiden of Bethlehem was accused by
a jealous lover and thrown to the
flames, and when she implored proof
Of her innocence the fire turned to
red roses about her feet.

Memories of Shelley
in Small Italian Town

On July s, 1922, the poet Shelley
and his friend, Lieutenant Williams,
were drowned when their little schoon-
er foundered OFF viareggio, Italy, on a
voyage from Leghorn to Spezia. Their
bodies, washed ashore on the beach
were there cremated in the presence
of Trelawney, Leigh Hunt, and Byron.
There is monument to Shelley by an
Italian, Urbano Lucchesi, in the Piazza
Shelley on the western side of the
town.
The boat in which Shelley went to
his doom was built after designs made
by his friend, Lieutenant Williams, a
British naval officer. 1t was called the
Don Juan. Shelley and his wife lived
in a bare dwelling on the Gulf of
Spezia, known as the Casa Magni. 1t
was there he was en- route from Leg
horn with Lieutenant Williams and a
sailor boy, when the storm in which
all three persisted overlook them. Capt.
Edward Trelawney, a seaman friend of
Shelley's, tracked down the bodies of
Shelley and Williams, and undertook
the burning Of them on the shore near
Viareggio on August 10. The poets
ashes were then collected and buried
in the new Protestant cemetery at
Rome.

Idea of Metric System
Originated in France

The theory of the metric system is
that meter is one ten-millionth part
Of the distance from the pole to the
equator, which is quadrant, or one
quarter of the earth's circumference.
The idea of scientific standard of
measures had been suggested as early
as the Seventeenth century, particu-
larry by the French astronomer, Jean
Picard, who lived from 1920 to 1852.
The suggestion took practical shape in
1890, when the national assembly of
France appointed committee to con-
slider the question. The committee re-
ported in favor of the standard being
the one ten-millionth part Of quad
rant of the earth's circumference. A
commission was then appointed to
measure the quadrant. In 1890 re-
port on the length of the meter was
made. In the same year the assembly
passed law bringing in the new sys-
TEN of measures, the use Of which be-
came compulsory throughout France
in 1901. Subsequent measurements of
the quadrant proved that the meter
had been made too small, so that 1t
is now defined as the length of a GER
tain bar of iridio-platinum which Is
preserved in the bureau des archives
in Paris.

Establishing Sorority

Banta's Greek Exchange says that
there is no question more frequently
asked than the one concerning the
formation Of a national sorority. There
is no cut and dried method of estab-
fishing any sort of a sorority or fra
ternity. A group find themselves in
close unity and in thorough harmony
and drift together without particular
intention to unite. Later the thought
Of a fraternity comes into their minds
as furnishing them a little stronger
bond of union. The detail OF such
work cannot be catalOgued or listed.

on location and personnel. In short.
