Castel SAINT Angelo in
Rome Turned Into Museum

The Castel SAINT Angelo in Rome Is
probably the only building In existence
which has been In continuous use for
nearly two thousand years. The won
der is increased by the incessant
sieges 1t has had to Withstand, though
indeed, they were less destructive than
the hands of the wanton despoilers
and "restorers" Of the great building.
Begun as an imperial mausoleum by
the Emperor Hadrian in 100 A. D. Six
years before his death it was finished
by Antoninus Plus 139 A. D. 1t was
built of uncemented Carian marble,
and consisted Of three stories-a quad
rangular basement. between which
were spaces for epitaphs of the dead
within and surmounted at the corners
by marble equestrian statues; above
this was circular story with f1uted
Ionic colonades, and above this again
was q smaller circular story surround
ed by Corinthian columns between
which were statues. The roof was
pyramidal with gilded bronze fir
cone, the whole building towering
above the city walls. 1t was turned
into fortress by Honorius in 1872 A.
D. and captured by the Cloths under
Alaric. In $50 A. D. it was besieged
by Vitiges and the garrison were re-
duced to hurting down the magnificent
statues on the heads Of their foes.
The history of the castle is the history
of Rome herself; it has sheltered
popes and anti-popes, it has served as
palace and prison, and is today
museum.

States. Many libraries and museums
are proud of the fact that some OF
their most priceless manuscripts are
executed on Havant parchment.
A chalky little stream which runs
from Portsdown hill is the reason for
the fame of Havant's parchment. It
10 claimed that the water contains
properties that cannot be obtained In
the scientists laboratory. After being
soaked in the water from this stream.
the parchment is different from any
other in the world. Sheep skins are
used for the vellum. They are i'm
mersed in pits filed by the stream.
Then they are stretched on frames
and "fleshed," or scraped.
The next process is to split the
skins. This is done by machine adj
justed so delicately that 1t could split
tissue paper. The inner skin Is used
for the actual parchment. This Is
scraped again, smoothed with pumice
stone. painted with whiting and soda;
ash, and then rinsed In warm water.
The result is white smooth parchment.

"Fi.hing" for Frog.

sFishing" for frogs has many un-
usual angles as sport. They will fire.
quently lunge with lightning-l like rapid
ity at trout fly dangled before them.
Old-timers at frog fishing" use long
cane pole and short, stout line, u.s.
ually not more than two feet In length.
Their lure is treble hook, draped
with red flannel. Whether the red ex-
cites a certain "bull instinct" in the
frog is matter for conjecture, but
the fact remains that this lure is a
most effective one. Locating q big
frog, the fisherman approaches cauti-
ously. AS the red flannel bangles before
its nose. the frog may make one or
two false tries for it, and then strikes
in earnest Often it may hook itself
on the first lunge.

Bones Broke in Early Times
Broken bones and liberated teeth
were common millions Of years ago,
Just as they are today. This is dem
onstrated by fossils in the Field mu-
scum in Chicago, according to a
curator in paleontology. A skeleton
Of large dinosaur has knot on one
Of it's ribs indicating break that
healed while it was alive. It is quite
common to find two or three bones Of
a dinosaurs tail grown together on
one piece. Broken and liberated teeth
are also found frequently.

Teams With WaIIy

This kid can move me to the
handkerchief any time. Little
Jackie can play upon my emotions
so, can make any scene in which
the sorrows Of youth are por-
trayed, so tender and touching
and heart felt, he embarraSses
me by almost making me sob
with him.
In "O'Shaughnessey's Boy" he
has the numbering Mr.. Beery (for
whom I suspect the lad nourishes
o great affection) to team with
for the most moving Of scenes and
in the most fragrant assault upon
your tear ducts ever imagined.
There is no need to tell more.
Except that wallace Beery is an
animal trainer who loses his nerve
and an arm putting a "big cat"
of the circus through spectacular
stunts, regains courage and the
love of his son (Jackie Cooper

that positively can be recon-
mended.
