THTOKPAT, OCTOBER 27, 1921 WORKED BtNtA in inttAnih Discovery in Jerusalem Solvet Much of Mystery Connected With Kino Solomon's Temple. flow often great discoveries spring from irifling Incidents! The trite re flation conies to mind naturally <>n hearing how the quarries of King Sol onion were found. Ir. Allen Moore for 17 years a resident of Palestine, tells the curious tale. For many many years, says Doctor Moore, travelers and archeologists were puzzled to know where the enor mous blocks of stone still standing in the ruins of Solomon s temple at Jeru salem were quarried. One day a lit tle dog chased a lizard down a hole among the debris. The next Instant the dog also disappeared. His master, coming to the opening, peered down in vain. He called, and to his amazement his voice came hack as from great depths, lie summoned assistance, and a passage was opened Into Immense subterranean quarries There were found huge masses of stone almost ready to he hoisted above ground. "And don’t you remember," asks Doctor Moore, “that we are told In our Blldes that the temple was built without sound of saw or of hammer? The fact that the quarry man worked underground partly explains that." Vpon some of the stones were found Inscriptions that perplexed the explor ers until one scholar pronounced them Phoenician. The stones were wrought by some of that army of workmen sent by King Hiram of Tyre to aid King Solomon in bis task. —Youth’s Com panion. GROUSE LIVES LIKE ESKIMO In Cold Weather the Bird Find* a Safe and Warm Ratrcat in Snow House. In the tcinperHic month 8 the grouso has nn excellent choice of food con eluting of a great variety of berries, small fruit, seeds, buds, clover, beech nuts, grasshoppers and a multitude of young, tender leaves. In the winter one wonders at their survival; for now the fall flight of the robins com pletely exhausts the berries, which were wont to linger and ripen well tnto winter, compelling the grouse to depend largely upon yellow birch buds, with many a forced meal on an evergreen. Fortunately, whenever the tempera ture is far below zero the sky is usu ally clear and the grouse are active and unconcerned, but if the days and nights are dark and cold or the air tilled with merciless pellets, they have the habit of plunging into deep snow drifts, where a foot below the surface the heat and weight of the body form a globular retreat, In which they re main comfortably until t tie storm clears or hunger forces au exit. Sometimes In winter or the early spring there may come a ruin or a WHrm day ttutt melts the surface snow followed by severe weather, and then thousands of grouse sre Imprisoned and the heretofore safe retreat be comes their tomb, should weeks pass by before the seal Is broken. —Na- tional Geographic Magazine. Who Made the Alphabet? If It takes a genius to make great words, it was also a genius who made the alphabet which makes the words. The pedigree of our alphubet can be traced continuously for nearly 3,000 years, and then comes a hiatus, says a recent writer. The genesis of writing must naturally be sought In pictures Caveman, when he painted his women or beasts on rock walls, or carved elks and elephants on antlers and tusks, was laying the foundations of one of the great human inventions. Behind all this apt artistic effort we must see some esoteric motive, for It was not due merely to the striving of the crea tive soul after expression. Doubtless, adds our authority, when caveman held an exhibition of Ids works, his friends praised the ingenuity and beauty of his pictures, hot there Is something more than the desire of simple repro duction hidden In his handiwork. Down on the Farm. A young man spending a vacation was walking about the country lanes In an endeavor to hide from himself entirely all town life or anything which reminded him of town life. Chancing across a country postman, he stopped him and asked what time It was. Pulling out his watch, the postman deliberately replied: “It's four o'clock in the afternoon by the railway time." “By railway time!" ejaculated the young man. "I should say that you country folk, living In the open air. In the heart of the country, as you do. would take your time from the sun.’ - “What for?” asked the rural post man. “Bean’t we much closer to the railway—even If It he 12 miles —than we he to the sun?"- Hehoboth Sunday Herald. Wyl Island Homs.

ENGINE OF PUBLIC SERVICE Newspaper Today Not, as of Old, the Mouthpiece of Any Individual or Party. Not so many years ago a newspa per waa a printing press surrounded by a group of individuals chiefly con cerned in getting their own private theories or doctrines before their readers. Today the newspaper is an engine of public service. Its success finan cially and morally la measured by the degree In which it supports not a party but the people. Those today who have a Twentieth century ideal of achievement separate the newspaper from the Individual and make it first and foremost an organ of public service built by the pwople for the people. The Journal which most nearly fulfills ita highest pur pose is that which is Indistinguish able in policy from the natural trend of progress and march of liberty and free thought. Political prizes were the aims ef the old-time editor. His policies were based on his own party Interests and he discussed every public question with a ferocity and partisanship pro portionate to the reward he expected to get out of it. The establishment of an institution, a living thing, which represents the public interest aud nothing else—that should be the ideal of the editor. it is this ideal which has made newspapermen a priesthood and has separated them—some of them —from politics. For this age Is not a ma terialistic age—in spite of opinion to lhe contrary.—Vancouver Sun. MEANT “DIVISION WITH KING” "Royaltiea*' In Old Day* Signified Something Altogether Different From Mearring Today. Recipients of royalties from books, patents, mines or any other thing may claim kin with kings, etymologically speaking, at least, for a royalty rep resented originally Ihe king's portion of the profits of a venture. The word entered England from France, and was sometimes called a “seignorage.” The king of England at the time was the actual possessor of all land In the domain, as be is only nominally todny. All mines that were worked, all lands that were tilled, directly or Indirectly paid trib ute to him. He possessed a similar power, though less clearly understood, over printing and Inventions. The payment of a royalty to an author, Inventor or other persons to day Is recognition of the ownership of the recipient to the basic right in the thing worked or produced. The pub lisher, manufacturer or operator tnay have, and usually does have, the heavi est Investment, but the iimn who gets the royalty is the man who holds pos session in fee simple, subject to what contracts he may make with those associated with him in the develop ment or distribution of his property. A Lovera’ Quarrel. They stood beneath the stars, the silence of the night being only broken fey the intensified sound of two hearts beating as one. For h moment he withdrew his gaze from the dazzling depths of her eyes to the diamond-studded shirt front of the aky. “Is that Mars?” he whispered, aa he slipped his artu around her small, slim waist, and gazed upon a glitter ing orb In the heavenly dome. “No, It isn't,” she exclaimed an grily, jerking herself free of his em brace. "it's mine, and If you can’t tell the difference between tuy waist and mother’s after you’ve been court ing me for eight years, well, you —” Her voice broke, and her heud fell forward upon her arm— “We had better pijrt!” It is pleasing to report that the mat ter was amicably adjusted before any thing more serious resulted.—Edin burgh Scotsman. When Kissing Was Illegal. Laws against kissing still exist in America, which produces most of the films front width the Japanese cen sors last year cut out 120,000 feet of kissing scenes, observes London Tit- Bits. Not many years ago a student of Yule university and bis sweetheart were arrested for the crime of kissing In a Boston restaurant. They were sentenced to 15 days' Imprisonment, the magistrate relying on one of the “blue laws” passed in the Seventeenth century, when Massachusetts was a British colony. Under these laws many men were fined or put in the stocks for kissing their wives in public, such conduct be ing penalized as “lewd and unseemly behavior.” The only measure of this kind ever enforced in England was of a tem porary nature. In 1439 an act of par llament wns passed prohlhftlug kiss ing, owing to the pestilence raging over England and France. Armenian Music. The melodies and composition ol Armenian music are unique, although In recent years Russian. Italian and English styles have been incorporated in her music, and many Armenian operas are sung in other countries. The national marching song of Tur key. oppressor of Armenia, was writ ten by an Armenian In the national style of the Turks.
