Horn and Trumpet Long
Used to Direct Armies

According to the best authorities, It
appears that the forerunners of the
modern trumpet and bugle were first
used for military purposes by the ar
mics of Gideon and Saul of Biblical
fame. The Romans appear in the
scene next, since prior to the fall Of
the Roman empire, about 493 A. q.
the musical instruments used in the
Roman army were the bugle (bucclna),
the trumpet (tuba), the cavalry trum-
pet (lituus) and the horn (cornu).
The latter was made Of the horn Of
the buffalo. and provided with silver
mouthpiece. The others were prob
ably Of brass.
The Romans knew very well a fact
familiar to modern tactics, that to
carry command amid the tumult Of
battle or down a long line of march,
the penetrating tones Of a brazen
horn are much more effective than the
sound of the human voice. According
ly the signals for the various evolu-
tons Of march and battle were given
by horn and trumpet; first by the
horn, at the command Of the general,
then taken up by the trumpets. Tho
bugle was used to sound the divisions

Great Cathedral Hailed
One of Worlds Wonders

The mosque of st. Sophia, at Con-
stantinople. readers will recollect, was
originally Christian cathedral. It
was founded by Constantine, and aft
er suffering from several devastating
CONGREGATIONS was rebuilt permanent
ly In 1927 by Justinlan the Great, ia
nous as the author of the Byzantine
legal code.
Procopius AYERS in his Secret His
tory that Justinian was Of internal
parentage on the male side; but the
emperor's devotion to at least the out
ward forms Of religion suggests some
prejudice on the part Of the historian.
The ediflce Justinian constructed on
the ruins Of its immediate predecessor,
destroyed during political row in the
capital, was accounted one Of the ma
Jor wonders Of the medieval world.
Gibbon relates that "Anthemius
formed the design and his genius d.
rected the hands Of 10000 workmen,
whose payment in pieces Of fine sill
yer was never delayed beyond the eve
ning;;" and he recounts how "the en-
peror himself, clad In linen tunic, sur
veyed each day their rapid progress
and encouraged their diligence by his
familiarity. his zeal and his rewards"
So the great cathedral was complet-
ed in five years, eleven months and
ten days at cost Of what would
amount to about $5,OOO,OO0 in modern
money, an immense sum in the Sixth
century. "And," says Gibbon, sin the
midst Of the solemn festival Justinian
exclaimed with devout vanity Glory
be to God, who hath thought me
worthy to accomplish so great work |;

Gold in Quantity Dug
From Hills of Wicklow

Bracelets and necklets Of pure gold,
and $500 years old, which came from
Ireland. have been discovered on q
farm at Towednack, st. Ives, Cornwall.
Such finds are treasure-trove and be-
come the property Of the crown, but
the finders will receive practically the
full value Of the gold after It has been
examined by experts. The gold was
obtained from the Wicklow hills. Gold
has been obtained from the same
source in large quantities until COM
paratively modern times. In Septem-
Der, 1895, the wicklow nugget was
found It weighed % ounces, and was
made into a snuff box for George III.
One Of the richest finds Of Irish gold
was the great Glare find Of 1854 -Four
laborers were working on a new cut
ting for the Limerick & Ennis railway
when one Of them turned over a pile
Of gold. One man was so excited that
he dropped his spade, filled his hat
with gold and dashed of to Newman
kettle nearest town-and sold his
find for $780, This hatful was worth
$1,000.

Main Dome Distinctive
Feature of St. Sophia's

st. Sophia, Constantinople's mar
velous mosque, when 1t was erected
by Emperor Justinian as Christian
cathedral. was made in the form Of
an immense Greek cross. The archi-
eect supported the structure with a
hundred columns, and the brick which
formed the main building material
was covered with rare marbles, jas
pers and porphyries Of dozen va
rletIes and colors, drawn from quar-
ries in various parts of the empire
or from the ruins of demolished
heather temples.
But the distinctive architectural fea-
ture of the building was the main
dome, probably the first great aerial
cupola ever erected. Within 20 years
an earthquake destroyed part of this
inverted cup, but Justinlan immedl-
ately restored 1t, and 1t remains In
tact until now, rising It's feet above
the earth. Gibbon commenting on its
lightness and durability says that the
frame probably 10 made Of pumice
stone or of light brick from the isle
Of Rhodes. 8 e.
The cathedral adornments and par
ticularly the mosaics of the floors and
walls were considered marvels of art
and beauty. The dome presented
starry armament and the walls were
enriched with figures of Christ, the
Virgin, the saints and the angels; and
Of Constantine and Justinian.

Washington Both Wise el
Q and Thrifty in Youth

George Washington early learned
the value of thrift, writes Bellamy
Partridge in Boys Life, the monthly
journal Of the Boy Scouts Of America.
"There were not so many chances for
q boy to earn money In those days.
But Washington was accurate and
exact; he was good at mathematics;
he was fond Of being outdoors" says
Mr.. Partridge. Surveying called for
all these qualities, and being gen.
tleman's work, appealed to him. At
fifteen he made an accurate survey of
q turnip field. The next year he went
into the Shenandoah valley on his first
big Job. 1t was great adventure for
him and paid him well, $7.20 day,
which was good pay for boy in those
days-or these.
washington put this money into
land, the first he ever owned, wild
tract Of $50 acres which he called
Bullskin Plantation Two years la
ter" continues Mr.. Partridge, che
had saved enough to buy another piece
Of 456 acres. At twenty he purchased
652 acres more making total Of
1853 acres which he bought and paid
for with the money earned with his
transit before he was old enough to
vote. He made Bullskin' into valu-
able property, which he kept all his
life, and to which he often referred
IN his diaries"

RetrenCh ment Plea.

Five hundred petitions imploring the
Board of Commissioners to economic by
reducing salaries, slashing the budget and
ceasine to create new Offices are being
circulated throughout Montgomery County,
it was learned recently. for presentation to
the board as soon as the signatures of
5000 taxpayers are obtained.
Feeling the great strain and pressure
of this great depression and fearing that
1t is going to be of long duration, we,
the undersigned, feel that for the safety
ana protection Of our homes we will have
to put economy into practice and that the
commissioners should make all reductions
in the county's expenses that it is within
their power to make" the petition reads.
The board is asked to create fewer Offices
and to limit each family to the holding of
only one county Office.
The petition suggests the cut in expenses
be made by making reductions both in
salaries and Offices wherever possible and
practical. and by reducing the budget more
in accordance with the taxpayers means
and ability.

Only Three Essentials
in Food for Steinmetz

Steinmetz' attitude toward food was
an example of his simplifying human
problems as If they were the private
wants Of electrical apparatus, wrote
Jonathan Norton Leonard in "Loki,
the Life of Steinmetz." An induction
motor seemed to him much superior to
the human body, so much stronger and
so much more useful. Its require
ments in the way Of current, lubrica-
ton and cooling could be accurately
calculated. Why not the same with
the needs Of the human body1
80" he would say, unwrapping a
brown-paper package, ITO sustain life
the human body requires only three
raw materials. Potatoes provide the
carbohydrates. Steaks provide the
protein. And the fat comes from the
butter the steak is fried in. What
more can be done? 1t is complete"
He never tired Of this standardized
ration and never could understand
why others did.

Indian Weapon Of War

The tomahawk is an ancient weapon
universally used by Indians In war
before they were taught the use Of
iron and steel, since which hatchets
have been substituted for them. This
instrument still retains Its use and i'm
portance in public transactions and
like the pipe, is often very significant.
This weapon Is formed much like
Ratchet, having long stem or ham
die; the head is round ball or knob
Of solid wood, well enough calculated
to knock mems brains out. On the
other side Of the stem the head termi-
mates in point where the edge would
be, which point is set little hooking
or coming toward the stem, and near
the center, where the stem or handle
pierces the head, another point pro
jects forward Of considerable length,
which serves for thrusting as with
spear or pike pole.

No, All Chinese Goodies"

The original coolies were unskilled
laborers from China, India and the
Orient In general who first were i'm
ported into western countries under
contracts according to which they
bound themselves at a low wage to
a certain term Of service, at the end
Of which they were entitled to free
passage back to their native land, says
Pathfinder Magazine. The name is be-
lieved to be derived from Chinese
"koo," meaning strength, and "lee," to
hire. Hence coolie was a hired Ia
borer. During the decade between
1850 and 1860 more than 10000 Chi
nese coolies were imported into Cali
fornia. 1t is incorrect to refer to
Chinese immigrants in general as
coolies.

Use of Words

The proper force of words lies not
in the words themselves, but in their
application. A word may be a fine
sounding word, Of an unusual length
and very imposing from its learning
and novelty, and yet in the connection
in which 1t is introduced may be quite
pointless and irrelevant. 1t is not
pomp or pretenslon, but the adapta-
ton Of the expression to the idea,
that clenches a writer's meaning-as
1t is not the size or glosslness Of the
materials, but their being fitted each
to Its place, that gives strength to the
arch; or as the pegs and nails are as
necessary to the support of the build
ing as the larger timhers, and more
so than the mere snowy, unsubstan-
tial ornaments.-Willlam Hazlltt, ION

Ocean Weather Reports

The idea of receiving weather re-
ports from vessels at sea was lnaug-
urated In 1905, when the captains Of
30 vessels flying the Pacific with the
necessary radio equipment agreed to
make the observations and endeavor
to transmit their reports to Washing
ton each day. This is now done by
$50 sea captains, and about 80 mes
sages are received every day. These
observations have proven very valua-
BILE, and a small fee Is paid for each
observation made and successfully
transmitted to Washington.

Metallic selenium is a nonconduc-
tor of electricity when in the dark,
but on exposure to light 1t becomes
a conductor. This remarkable prop
erty has led to the selenium cell, the
basic principle of which depends upon
coating with thin film Of selenlum o
conducting metal, such as copper.
When a selenium cell is connected In
the circuit of a motor or Ia the firing
circuit Of cannon it acts as an open
switch as long as 1t remains In the
