Demand for Ambergris
Greater Than Supply

Treasure trOve was recently thrown
up on a Pacific coast beach in the
form of piece of ambergris; at least
that was what its finders called 1t.
Ambergris, always scarce and now
even scarcer, has been coveted pos
session for centuries in view Of the
high price it commands. 1t has figured
In history and in fiction, and from
time to time it has brought measure
Of wealth to those who have been
fortunate enough to find a piece of 1t.
This strange substance comes either
from the stomach or the intestines
of the sperm whale and frequently
contains the beaks of cuttlefish, on
which the whale feeds. 1t is gray
ish substance, often notified with
darker streaks. Whalers after a kill
sometimes found large pieces of it
floating in the water. Long ago chem
lists discovered that ambergris could
be melted in boiling alcohol and used
in the manufacture of perfumes.
Hence it became a valuable COM
modify. 1t is much rarer than 1t
used to be, because of the scarcity
of sperm whales. In the early days
Of American whaling the sperm whale
was plentiful, ranging into the North
Atlantic for Its food.

Inheritance Laws Born
in Private Ownershin

Among our primitive ancestors
there were no such things as will or
even Inheritance by a limited num-
Der of heirs, because there was moth
ing to inherit or to will. All property
was community property. When 4
man died he simply ceased to use the
common property pool" and without
any formalities the surviving men,
bers of the group continued to make
use of 1t.
When private ownership of things
and land came to be recognized, the
governing unit-village, tribe or state
found that it had to take some ac-
ton when a man died, leaving prop
erty. If nothing were done, anyone
who happened to be near or strong
might seize the ownerless property,
even though he were a total stranger
to or even an enemy of its former
owner. Tribal concepts of fair play
came into operation, and it was rec
ognized that the dead mans family
should have first claim to his former
belongings. From this developed the
customs and laws Of inheritance which
have taken varied, and in some cases,
very complex forms, in different parts
of the world.-National Geographic
Society Bulletin.

Ruins of Old Roman City

Timgad is ruined city, % miles
southeast of Batna, in the department
Of Constantine, Algeria. Timgad, the
Thamugas of the Romans, was built
on the lower slopes Of the northern
side of the Aures mountains, and was
situated at the intersection Of six
roads. The auditorium Of the theater,
which held nearly 1000 persons, is
complete. A little west Of the theater
are baths, containing paved and mosaic
floors in perfect preservation. Ruins
of other and larger thermae are found
in all four quarters of the city, those
on the north being very extensive.
There are the remains Of seven
churches. Numerous inscriptions have
been found on the ruins and from
them many events in the history Of
Thamugas have been learned. Thamu-
gas passed from history after the de-
feat of Gregorius, governor Of Africa,
by the Arabs In CAT.

Children Enrolled in
flld English Colleges

A curious possibility of the turning
Of the wheel is suggested by the plea
which is being made for an earlier
entry into the universities, partly In
order that distressed modern parents
may be relieved little earlier of the
cost of maintenance Of sons and, pre-
sumably, daughters. 1t is true that at
present boys enter the university at
an age when, over long period, they
would have been ready to leave. John
Milton had only just passed his fif-
teenth birthday when he went up from
ST. Paul's school to Cambridge, and he
was nineteen when he took his bach
elor degree. Sir John Denham was
gent to Oxford at sixteen, though he
seems TO have behaved himself there
very much after the fashion Of some
young fellows who have matrlculated
at later age, for the future poet Is
described as dreaming young man,
given more to dice and cards than
study" But even fifteen or sixteen,
which seems very early to us, would
have seemed very late to the author
tiles of an earlier age, when "thou-
sands Of boys, huddled In bare lOdg-
ing houses, clustering round teachers
as poor as themselves, in church porch
and house porch" took the place Of
"the brightly colored train of doctors
and heads" 1t was in those days that
scholars like Edmund Rich, arch
bishop of Canterbury and saint in
later days, came to Oxford, a boy Of
twelve years" The most ardent ad-
vocates of change would scarcely ad-
wise return to those days.-Man-
chester (England) Guardian.

"Wonders" Foreseen by
Great Minds Long Ago

Roger Bacon, born in 1914, foresaw
the coming of the balloon. He thought
that it would be made of very thin
metal and filled with liquid fire. 1t
was actually more than 800 years be-
fore the first balloon ascent was made,
hut the first man to rise into the air
did so In a fire balloon.
The airship provided with a means
Of moving against or across the wind
was anticipated In the Eighteenth cen
fury by Lunardi, who invented bal
loon propelled by oars. Even In his
day there were those who foresaw that
In the future the "Oars" would be
worked by some kind of engine. The
airplane was fOreseen with remark
able accuracy by Leonardo da Vinci,
who, besides being painter, was
renowned mathematician and engineer.
Wireless was foreseen at least 300
years ago. The italian writer, Strada,
born In 1872, describes an imaginary
machine which enabled two friends,
no matter how far apart, to communi-
cate with one another. Strada's mag
mary process is almost exactly what
happens In the most modern telewriter
or automatic telegraph transmitter.

Road Xersua Rail

1t Is now many years since the ex-
presses of the railwSy companies rum
ming England to Scotland services
used to race against each other, and
there is today very little sporting In
terest" in connection with trains. On
the continent, a new form of railway
racing was growing up some time ago,
touring cars being run against ex-
presses. This road versus rail racing
is now discouraged in Europe. How
ever 1t is catching on so much in
New Zealand that recent race be-
tween car and the Wellington-to-
Auckland train was broadcast through
out the country. The race took place at
night and, despite the handicap Of
bad and very billy roads, the car won

Purple and High Estate
Have Long Association

The word purple came into the Ian
guage from the Latin purpura, purple.
1t was used in King Alfred's time, and
designated the dress Of an emperor or
u king. The color was obtained from
a mollusk from which the purple dye
was derived. Purple Is deep Grim
son or scarlet color which some people,
instead of allowing it to describe the
color of blood that is the crimson We
nous blood, as distinguished from the
arterial blood, which Is scarlet, asso-
ciate as a color purple with violet.
Purple originally was crimson. By
the Middle ages, the term was used to
indicate many shades of red, and in our
own time, 1t designates mixtures of
red and blue in various proportions
approaching to crimson on one side,
and violet on the other. He who Is
''born in the purple" is one Of an i'm
perlal or royal family, or by extension,
of noble or wealthy family. The
phrase in purple, used from 1885, des-
ignates the scarlet color of the official
dress Of a prince Of the church-a
cardinal.
Violet, as a purpllsh blue color re-
sembling that Of the violet, dates from
the time of Sir John de Vaudeville,
who is stated to have been born in the
year 1900, and died In the year 1872.

Raisin Pie Only Thing
New Yorker Can't Find

Some people, it seems, are never
satisfied.
The New Yorker, having been In
town four months, has already been
sratified by the sight of venerable
gentleman with his whiskers caught
in a subway door, but he says he
can't rest until he sees a passenger
carry a bale of hay into a subway
car.
He's seen almost every other con-
ceivable package and bundle, including
a dog measuring only half head short
er than Great Dane, carried in a
blanket. Just the other day he was one
of the victims buffeted about by large
and energetic woman hurrying into
shuttle train at Times square with
pair Of 1O-foot wooden curtain poles.
Another thing this Unsuitable New
Yorker Graves to find is raisin pie.
He's tried no less than 33 eating
places, from coffee pots up in the gas
tronOmic scale of excellence, and all
he gets when he asks for his favorite
dessert is negative headshake and a
sad smile of pity.-New York Sun.

Sneexing-God Bless You

The custom of uttering benediction
after a sneeze is universal. Its origin
is obscure and each country seems to
have its own particular legend con-
corning it. Among the Romans the
belief existed that sneeze expelled
evil spirits. The sneeze, therefore,
was regarded somewhat in the light
Of lucky effort on the part of the
person to rid his system Of evil spirits
and those present at the time would
say, Good luck to you" There is
also an old legend that before the
time Of Jacob men sneezed only once
and then expired. But the patriarch
interceded in the behalf of man and
obtained a relaxation Of this law on
condition that prayer or benediction
follow every sneeze. Some writer's Of
fer this old legend as an explanation
OF the modern sneeze benediction God
bless you"
