These children were afterward brought before the king and uttered the word “bekos” (baked bread). The-ssame experim@®nt was tried by Frederick II of Sweden and James IV of Scotland and by one of the Mogul emperors of India. Nothing conclusive was proved in either ease. The Persians claim that Arabfe, Persian and Turkish are the three primitive languages, Their. tradition says that the serpent. that tempted Eve spoke Arabic, the ynjost persuasive language in the: world. ‘Adam and Eve what children acting business.

Scholars. formerly agreed that Sanserit was the oldest. tongue but later discoveries suggest that it too is derived from some still more. ancient speech. Authentic Records of Men of Unusual Size The tallest. man about whom the actual facts are known, other than those recorded in Biblical histery, was one John Middleton, He lived in the Sixteenth century and was commonly ealled the child of Hale. It is said that his hand from the wrist to the end of the middle finger was seventeen ! inches long. His whole height was nine the Roman writer, however, mentions one Gabora as “the tallest man that hath been seen in our age.” He measured nine feet nine inches in height. -Patrick Cotter, who died in 1806, was probably the tallest Irishman; he measured 8 feet 7 inches, beating his countryman, Chartes O’Brien, ‘whose skeleton in the museum of the royal college of surgeons,. London, measures 8 feet 4 inches only. Still Use Roman Roads ‘ The changes. which have come ove! the planning and construction of great highways. built or projected across the continent prove that the first builders of ronds were the best, according to Thomas S. Bosworth, In the New York Times.\ The main highways across Europe,\many of them still_In—use_today after.2,000 years, remain as monuments to the supreme mechanical genius of the Americans of their day, the old Romans. . Not only did they plan their roads on the principle that the straight line is the shortest between two points,\but they built them so well that, with minor changes, the modern cities of Europe still depend upon them for their-communication by automobile. Uses for Gyroscope When first invented, the gyroscope, then called retascope, was used as a scientific toy to illustrate the dynamics of rotating bodies, the composition of rotations, ete. A delicately mounted form of the above apparatus, invented by M. Foncault, is used to render ‘visible the rotation of :the earth on account of the tendency, ef the rotating wheel to preserve & constant plane of rotation, independent of the earth’s motion. This same principle is made use of in an ingtrument invented by Dr. iH. AuschutzKampfe, designed to replace the mariner’s. compass or to serve as a check upon its accuracy. . the shores of: the Mediterranean, per“straight line between. their--most~ im.the soil to indicate the width of tke \ ter of a year.” ‘the misfortunes that have befallen its . $0: much . HE NEVADA. CH NUGGET, CALIFORNIA _ Rocca Highways Built for March of Legions. When the Romans set out to conquer the whole known world of their day, their practical minds came to their . assistance, and they built, as the long arm of their conquests spread around manent highways throughout their empire, primarily ‘for the swift and, safe movement of their troops throughout all the countries they ‘conquered, says a writer in the New York Times. Their first principle was to draw a portant camps, The Appian . way, which was begun in 312 B. C.,-one of their greatest achievements, . extended throughout the length of the Italian peninsula frém the’ Forum in the Eternal city itSelf to Brindisi, from which the legions .embarked on their journeys to the east. The pillar set up : by Pompey-to mark the southern extremity of the great road may still be seen in the modern city. The Romans built their roads by first cutting parallel trenches through roadway, removing loose earth until a solid foundation was reached Upon this four layers of materials were beaten down, the lowest usually of flat stone sometimes laid in mortar, above which a layer of coarse concrete of smashed stones was superposed, Above this was a layer of finer stones or concrete, jon which was taid-a surface of fine stones carefully matched, The width of some of their roads was 14 feet, on each side of which were unpaved roadways half as wide again. Hairdressing Carried to Extremes Long Ago The busy modern woman has many things to be thankful for, among them the fact that she didn’t live at the beginning of the last century when the lady of fashion was expected to wear a tower of greased and powdered hair a foot and a half high— and, moreover, was expected to sleep in it! The advertisement of a firm of Lon. don hairdressers of the period reads: . “Messrs. Clark & Clark claim to have discovered the seéret of doing gentlewomen’s hair, to last them in perfect condition throughout a. quar Among the individual touches the sare firm offers to willing clients is “a miniature coach and six to be built into the snowy towers of hair.”— Harper’s. Bazaar, Almost Universal Saying The; phrase, “The last straw breaks the camel’s back,” has’its prototype in the old Spanish proverb, ‘The ass ~ endures the load but not the over. load,” and there is another which says, “’Tis the last feather that . breaks the horse’s back.” The prov; erb, “The pitcher goes so often’to the water that it is broken at last.” also may be traced. back to many people. The French assert:* “The jug goes so often to the water that it stays there,” and the Spaniards say, “The pitcher goes so often to the fountain that it gets -broken.” . Den' nark’s housewives like to say, “The. goose goes so often to the ‘kitchen that at last she is fastened to the spit.’—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Raven Heralder of Death Tradition makes the raven a bird of ill omen to the house of Austria, and avers that the appearance of one of the species has heralded many of members. A flight of ravens, it is said, hovered over Olmutz when Francis Joseph received from his uncle’s hands the crown that was to bring him unhappiness; a raven followed Maximilian on his last walk with his wife before setting out for Mexico and an ignominious death; and one of the birds snatched a peach from the hand of the Empress Elizabeth two days before her assassination at Geneva, Smoking Fireplaces A simple remedy has been found for the ‘smoking fireplace. A piece of plate glass about four inches wide attached to the face of the fireplace at the top of the opening will provide a barrier past which the smoke cannot pass. Changing the air currents, which are baffled in their attempt to reach the room, sends all the smoke up the chimney, where it belongs. The glass, being’ transparent, is not s0 much in evidence as a metal baffle or hood and does not disfigure the fireplace. : Forestry 2000 Years Old The idea of managing a forest as a farmer manages a farm is of relatively modern origin and in a sense forestry is a young science. .The care of trees, however; dates back into history’s misty beginnings, ‘says the American Tree association. China had a department of mountain forests nearly 2,000 years ago. The an. cient Greeks wrote long treatises on the-care of woodlands. : Lobster’s Legal Status To have legal status in Maine the lobster taken from its coast waters must measure approximately ten and a,balf inches from the tip ofits nose to the end of its middle tail’ flipper. Such’a measure up to13 inches. are and common these weigh about two and.iPree-qnarters pounds. {n -winter the lohstermen sre paid anywhere from 40-to 50_cents a. peund for their ot ches, : : ir FASHIONS . for the SMART WOMAN 5-14 THE*SROMANTIC REVIVAL : We may indulge alf our romantic tendencies this summer in our dress, and the floral printed voile frock on the left does it by outlining a long panel with ruffling, capping tight sleeves with perky puffs, joining a gathered skirt to a short, snug bodice, and oe a drooping ribbon bow on the left sheulder for goodumeastire, The flattering fashion of arranging:a circular capelet ona Hoge yoke is followed in the dotted swiss model on the right. Here, too, the bodice isshort and tight, and the gathered skirt very full. Ribbon acanes the high waistline and ties in a streaming bow. Puff sleeves may be used instead of the capelet. : First Model: Pictorial Printed Pattern No. 5251. Sizes 12 to 20, 45 cents, i Second Model: Pictorial Printed Pattern No. 5253. .
