Rosicrucianism, System
of Mystical Philosophy

Rosicrucianism, (ro-zi-kroo-shan-
izm), is a system of mystical and
metaphysical philosophy intended to
guide the development of the inner
consciousness. Popularity believed
to have begun in Cassel, Ger
many, early in the Seventeenth GEN.
fury, notes writer in the Indianap-
oils News, it has been revealed that
the fraternity had existed long prior
to what was only a revival in Ger
many. In 1907, Figulus, a mythical
writer, referred in a pamphlet to
the existence of the fraternity in
Europe in 1410. An officer of the
fraternity states that in 1413 the
greatest revivals of activity &C.
Cured. Another officer mentions
one Friesan or Friesau as national
imperator Of the fraternity in 1853.
Cornelius Agrippa mentions the
foundation of branch in 1907, and
that Brother Philalathes was Sin
vested with the power of imper-
ator." In a letter from the French
Doctor landau to Agrippa, he states
that he knew the fraternity in 1909.
Paracelsus records his admission
into a rosicrucian lodge in Basic, in
1880. Heinrich Khunrath, German
rosicrucian officer and author, pub
lished (1598) a book dealing with
the secret principles, and an inter-
national congress of rosicrucians
was held in England in 1904.
Many ancient rosicrucian docu-
ments preserved in a rare collection
in Cologne bear evidence that the
organization was old even in the
Sixteenth century. One book in the
collection, by Brother "Omnis No
riar," refers to German rosicru-
clan lodge in Ills, while Arnold de
Villanova, rosicrucian officer,
speaks in his Rosary" Of the fra
ternity existing in 1880.
The name of the organization is
derived from its original symbol,
the cross with single red rose in
the center.

The conference circuit used in this
demonstration of the speed with which
the War Department can communicate
with all its major divisions throughout
the country is a recent Bell System
development in telephony. Special
switchboard equipment makes it pos

sons at separate points anywhere in
this country and even abroad, so that

Speedy Cheetahs Favored
by Ancients for Hunting

Cheetahs have been used for CEN
turtles by oriental princes to run
down game, as medieval kings used
falcons to hunt birds and small ami
mails.
The sport is so old that nobody
knows where or when 1t began. It
Is believed to have spread from
Egypt to Persia and later to India,
where cheetahs lived wild in the
jungles.
From Kenya colony, East Africa,
Indian princes ordered fresh sup
plies of wild cheetahs, and British
settlers made a business of catching
them for sale to maharajahs.
Although they are the fastest ami
mails in the world for short dis
tances, writes Sam Brewer in the
Chicago Tribune, cheetahs lack
stamina and cannot 60 far. Hunt
ers ride them down on horseback
and say that cheetah can rarely
keep ahead of good horse for more
than q mile. Once tired out, they
are roped and taken away for train
ing.
They look much like leopards, but
they are gentle and easily tanned ;
and, above all, they never turn on
a man, as leopards and other cats
are likely to do, after they have been
tanned.
For all their looks, cheetahs are
not classed with other members of
the cat family. They are in spe-
cial group known to scientists as
the jubatus. Their legs are longer
and their bodies lighter than in cats.
Their paws and claws are doglike,
and they cannot pull the claws en-
tirely out of sight as can cats.
They purr like cats, but when they
lick your hand it is like being licked
by barbed wire fence instead of
the sandpaper effect of cats
tongue.
They are timid and easily fright
ened at first; then they become dog
like in their affection.

Hot Water Eve Doctor

Hot water is one of the best eye
doctors. Often simple infamma-
tons may be stopped by its use.
The danger, of course, lies in dag
nosis. The Inflammation may be
complex, not simple. If hot appli-
cations do not give ease and relief
shortly, take the eyes to the doctor.
Water for this usage should be
only hot enough to help, not hot
enough to burn. The application is
to be made to the tightly closed
and kept tightly closed-eye. Under
no circumstances keep the eyes
open while bathing them. The idea
is to increase the circulation in
the lids, and by that means help
the rest Of the eye if it needs help.
This is perhaps unscientific, but ex-
tremely practical. Often it works
and that is what the person involved
wants.

Origin Of Word Honeymoon

Among the northern nations of
Europe, in ancient times, it was the
custom for newly married couples
to drink metheglin of mead "a kind
of wine made from honey for 20
days after marriage. Antiquarians
say that from this custom the term
money month";" or honeymoon"
originated. Whether or not that is
its origin, it is known that in the
days of marriage by capture the
bridegroom remained in hiding with
his bride until her kinsmen tired Of
the search for her. Later, when love
entered marriage and elopments
were frequent, the bride and BRIDE
groom remained in hiding for a
while. Both of these "hiding pc
RODS" seem to point to possible ORR
gins of the honeymoon trip.

Mixing ColOrs

BY mixing the primary colors
(red, yellow and blue) in various
proportions most colors can be OBJ
tanned. Mixing all three primary
colors in equal parts gives neu-
trail color. BY mixing any two of
the three primary colors in proper
proportion the complementary or
secondary color results. For in
stance, mixing blue and yellow will
produce green, which is the COM
Elementary color to red. Yellow
and red produce orange, which is
the complement of blue, while red
and blue produce violet, the compile
ment of yellow. If paint or enamel
is not the exact shade desired, the
color can be changed by adding
white or black. To lessen the bril-
lance of color add its complement
blue to orange, green to red or
yellow to violet.

Walter S. Clifford, president of
The American Telephone and Tele.
graph Company, aUh0 aUds awarded
the gold medal of the National In
stitMte of Social Sciences, for dis
tinguished service to humanity.
The award was in recognition Of
Mr.. Chords services Gas director of
the Council of National Defense;
president of the Charity Organization
Society of New York; trustee Of
Johns Hopkins University, General
Education Board, Carnegie Institute
of Washington; director of the Presi-
dents Organization on Unemployment
Relief; president of The American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
the greatest non-governmental organ
lied service in the United States; and
as trustee of numerous educational
and scientific foundations"
In responding to the presentation Of
the medal, Mr.. Clifford said in part:
II like to feel that your award Of
this medal to me is recognition that
business is an activity which plays an
important part in the betterment of
mankind, and that a business man, In
attending to business, can render dis
tinguished humanitarian service there
by. Those, I understand, are the
activities and qualities for which your
awards are made.
II should like to suggest that BUSH
ness men, like others, do not live by
bread or material comforts alone and
that they, like others, will respond and
do their best for the betterment Of
mankind when their efforts to that
end are encouraged.
Americas leadership of the world
in well-being did not just happen.
Neither is it just because of an abund-
ance of natural resources. It Is large
ly because we have made better use Of
our natural resources. It is because
we have kept opportunity open to all.
More than anything else it is because
OF our encouragement to enterprise
and to management, produced more
often than not from the ranks"

Early Motor Cycle

The earliest known attempt at a
two-wheeled vehicle which would
proceed under its own power is said
to have been made by w. w. Austin
of Winthrop, Mass, in 1868. It was
propelled by a coal-burning steam
engine. Other more or less similar
affairs followed in 1884 and 1886.
In 1895 a cycle propelled by a COM
bustion engine using gasoline was
exhibited at Madison Square Garden
in New York city. This has been
called the first appearance of the
motor cycle.

Life of Toads. Frogs

Toads and frogs may live for a
number of years if they manage
to escape their natural enemies and
remain in a suitable environment.
There is well authenticated case
of a toad which lived for SO years

common frog sometimes requires
from four to five years to mature in
the North and barring accidents
which are usual In a natural state

Some painters place the paints
they are going to use in neat row
across the uppermost part of the
palette; others squeeze out bold
splotches of color without any at
tempt at order. The palettes are

in addition to the pigment arrange

GUS vapor and falling rapidly by
virtue of their weight are known as
rain. Smaller, finer particles, fall
ing more slowly, are known as mist
