TWENTY YEARS AGO

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Marshall and
daughter Miss Virginia, were injured
in runaway accident on the road
from Conneway's Tower down the
mountain to Gortner. Vernon Lyon
was driving the team. Mrs. Marshall
was rendered unconscious as re-
suit of her injuries and was taken to
the home of Henry Ridder.
On a motorcycle trip from Oakland
to Romney with Joseph Rathbun and
DR.. Selby, S. H. Jackson ran into a
rut with his machine to avoid a col
lision with wagon and was thrown
to the roadway and received painful
injuries:
In throwing ball from the field to
one of the basemen in a game at
Carmel between Crellin and Tunnel
ton, John Collins, of Oakland, suffered
fracture of his right arm.
Mrs. Levi Strawser was thrown
from buggy and suffered fracture
of her jaw. Miss Bessie Lohr, Sun
nyside, was slightly bruised in a run
away accident.
Says The Republican in an adver-
tisement: "The most wonderful sight
in this most wonderful age. Man by
the power of his mind over matter,
lifts himself off the earth and scars
like bird in the free air of heaven.

Find in Desert Causes sa
"a 81, Stir Among Scientists

In a sand-filled depression near the
ancient Pyramid of Degrees, seventeen
miles north Of Cairo, Egypt, a wonder
full discovery has been made by the
Egyptian department Of antiquities.
Several stone statuettes were found
in heap at the top Of large sand
filled depression, some distance from
any building. Their attributes, cos
tunes and attitudes indicate that they
are Syrian deities. On the other hand.
their workmanship seems to show the
hand Of an Egyptian sculptor Of the
Persian or Ptolemaic period. The
largest statuette represents a fat, seat
ed woman, wearing high tiara. 9th
ers represent a man in Chaldean cos
tune, and woman, both standing IN
rigid attitudes, with their hands ex-
tended forward, while a mans head
with large beard seems to come from
a winged bull.
The rarity Of figures of western Ash
attic gods gives considerable impor-
lance to these figures. They further
possess historical Significance, as they
were probably made for one of the for
eign colonies which were so numerous
at Memphis in the later pre- Christian
period, and Of which hitherto so little
has been known.

Old and New Commingle

poetic title in spite of a recent land
slide which Occasioned considerable
loss Of life and property. Madeira is
land Of sun and flowers and blue
skies which has become highly popular
as holiday resort with those Of

Vast Water Resources
in Black Hills Region

One of the most productive water
bearing formations of the northern in
terror Of the United States is what is
known as the Dakota sandstone,
which crops out about the TANKS Of
the Black hills In southwestern South
Dakota. The formation extends east
ward and northeastward to the bor-
ders Of Iowa and Minnesota.
As the sandstone slopes away from
the Black hills, the water percolates
northeastward and eastward through
the porous rock and underneath a
dense covering of thick clay shale.
Beneath the James river valley 1t
Is under considerable pressure, and
where the surface altitude is not too
great, strong arteslan flows have been
obtained. In fact, the arteslan wells
are among the greatest natural re-
sources Of that area.
However, so many wells have been
driven, the supply shows signs of hav-
ing been taxed about to the limit, and
the force Of many Of the wells has
fallen considerably below the original
pressure.

Tom had died without knowing.
Tom had died believing her to be as
uncolrplex and happy In their mar
riacc us he had been. ~ ~.
Marion was grateful for that. 1t
made everything subsequent come
easier. 90 Tlghs pE
What actually happened, as her
frieliGs put 1t, was the return Of the
fish to its water. Two months after
Toms death, Marion matriculated in
the university from which she had
married as sophomore and took her
first degree two years later, cum
laude.
They were to her the happiest
years of her life. 1t was as If her
mind, dehydrated by the long period
of inactivity and intellectual sunless
ness, had suddenly found capacity of
expansion again. Sometimes 1t actual
y seemed to her that under the con-
geniaity of the old environment that
she could actually feel her mentality
reviving, lifting itself, warming itself
in stimulating contacts. ar
1t was considered remarkable that
at the conclusion Of her college course
she had gone beyond that point, and
was halfway qualified for a second
degree. 1a-.
The return of the native, said Luella,
smiling upon her with large In
diligence.
The Indulgence Of Luella meant
more to Marion than she would ad-
nit, even to herself. 1t was not that
she crayed a position similar to that
of Luella's, but-well-it had to be
faced at last, more than anything she
could think of, Marion wanted to
prove to herself, and to the world,
that her mind, If not better, was at
least as good as her erudite sisters.
The eye of Marion was fixed resO-
lutely upon a difficult goal, similar to
sisters.
Marion wanted to be invited to hold
the position of dean Of women in one
of the country's large universities.
The opportunity came sooner than
she dreamed.
Within a month after her second
degree had been conferred upon her,
Marion was called to accept the posi-
ton of dean of women in the place
vacated by Miss Luella Studdiford,
who had eloped suddenly with chauf-
feur in Deighboring town.

Immense Brass Brain
Figures Out the Tides

Ina room Of the United States Coast
and Geodetlc Survey building at Wash
ington is a great machine which an
swers to the name Great Brass
Brain" Its function is to predict
tides with the utmost exactness at
any place in The world, or to tell the
state of the tides at any moment in
the past. tas ~
This robot is a marvel Of wheels
and pulleys Tides rise and fall with
mathematical exactness, but there are
a large number Of forces acting upon
them. such as the moon, the motion
of the earth, and nAany other things.
The machine takes into account 81
Of these fact6rs In its mechanical cal
lculaticns.
Its chief purpose Is to help in set
ting time schedules for ship move
ments, but 1t Is also useful to the
historian.
For instance, the delay of the Brit
ish expedition which landed at Charles
town in 1775, which gave Paul Revere
the chance to save the countryside,
has been ascribed to their waiting for
low tide. Brass Brain, however,
showed that the tide was low when
the British landed, so that they must
have been waiting for something else,
probably provisions.

FRS, American Astronomer

David Rittenhouse was an expert
clockmaker in Philadelphia and be-
came Il maker Of astronomical instru-
ments and because of his work and
observations, he was famed in the New
world and the Old. In ITO he built
a brick octagonal observatory which
was the first and for a long time the
only observatory in this country.
RittenhOuse is probably most famous
for his construction of several plan
etariums or Orrerles, which we're so
made that they could determine the
time, duration and path Of eclipses,
extending over period of 5000 years
before and after 1867. Even the great

do this.

Monarch Before His Birth

Sapor, king Of Persia, probably
holds the record for the earliest age
at which king has been crowned.
He was crowned about two months be-
fore he was born. His father, the
reigning king, died at that time, and
an uncle, finding the throne vacant,
organized usurpatlon. The queen,
anxious for the succession of her son,
proclaimed a coronation ceremony and
had her unborn child crowned In her
own person. Such was the generation
Of the people for the dynasty that
the ceremony was effective in fore
stallIng the uncle's usurDation. The
child proved to be boy and ruled as
King Sapor.

Use of Whales

Practically the entire whale is used
for commercial purposes. Whale oil,
Of course, is the chief product and is
used principally at the present time
In making soap. Occasionally It is
used as a lubricant in combination
with mineral oil, and recently new
use has been found for 1t in an animal
oil for making margarine. Little whale
oil is now used for heating and light
ing purposes. Fresh whale flesh is
ground into whale-meat meal for cat
tie feed, and both the flesh and bones
are ground into fertilizer.
