THE SEVEN WONDERS

Nearly everyone has heard of the
seven wonders of the world, but probably
few could tell what became Of them. Those
interested in such things might clip this out
for their scrap book.
The seven wonders Of the world were
so named by Antipater, a writer of Pales-
tine, about 100 +. c., as follows:
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, de-
stroyed in 484 b. c., more than 100 years
before they were listed among the Won
ders
The Temple of Diana at Ephesus,
burned in 262 Al. D.
The Statue Of Zeus at olympus de-
stroyed in 408.
The Colossus of Rhodes, sold for Junk
in 653.
The Lighthouse Of Pharos at AleXan-
dria, fell in an earthquake in 1873.
The Mausoeum of Artemisia de-
stroyed in l402.
The Pyramid OF Cheops, the only one
of the "seven wonders still in existence.
Such were the seven wonders of the
ancient world Many lists of modern Won
ders have been made, but recent writer
selects not the perishable works Of man, but
The discoveries ard inventions which have
revolutionized civilization.
He names the radio, the telephone. the
airplane, antiseptics. spectrum analysis.
x-ravS and radium. Whether his list IS the
best that might be made or not. the wonders
mentioned will survive as long as humanity
exists

AUTHORS AND KEY WEST

A magazine reader who has kept up
with all the stories about Key West in the
past year need never worry about his
curiosity getting him in trouble if he hasn't
developed 9 desire to pay the city visit.
Acknowledgement writers in both fic
ton and nor-fiction have painted Key West
in so many different colOrS by thus time that
the natives are wondering if they or the
writers are dreaming The reading public
in every section OF the world has seen It's
heroes and heroines strollinG or being car
ried down Key West streets, but the de-
scription of the streets has agreed only in
that they were located on an island and
there was moon.
For spot of history, Thelma Strabel's
reap the Wild Wind told beautiful
story of the city in the days Of the Wreckers
and won wide acclaim both as magazine
serial and in book form
Theodore Pratts 'MeTcy Island
hasn't had time to reach 4 wide audience,
but an excerpt from it in magazine form
annoyed many local people.
A recent magazine story, featuring the
color pictures Of Ivan Dmitri touched Key
West history lightly, and ended with the
story of Dr. Won Cosel
Ernest Hemingway, Of course, is the
most widely read author of all those who
have visited here, and Hemingway is prac-
tically native himself. More famous than
ever after his For Whom the Bell Tolls"
Hemingway wrote frequently Of Key West
in magazine stories and his "TO Have and
Have Not was laid here.
OF that one, reviewer voiced the
sentiment of most readers with: u still
like Hemingway, but I think it's a little
thick to ask me to sit in a pool of blood for
300 pages"
Baynard Kendrck, writing from
Tavernier has described Key West in
numerous magazines and ColUmnist West
brook Pegler has worked the city over on
various occasions.
From as many different angles as
there have been stories, Key West has
been described through these writer's to an
incredibly large audience. Even the varia-
tiors have been of added value to the city
because they naturally arouse curiosity in
the reader as to what the city really is like.
There is no better publicity.

She frOWned in concentration.
No, there haa been nothing in their
contract relating to anyone buying

that have with their agreement?
It would mean that unless Don
