THE MONTGOMERY OCTOBER 6. 1921-

INVENTOR OF VANE UNKNOWN
But Devices for Showing the Direction
of the Wind Have B-.en in
Use for Centuries.
The origin of the weather vane 1°
unknown. One of the most ancient of
which there Is any record is that
mentioned by Vitruvius, and the ruins
of the Tower of the Winds, of which
he speaks, still stands in Athens. This
building was erected about a century
before the Christian era. He writes:
“Those who have paid most atten
tion to the winds make them eight in
number, and particularly Andronicus
Cyrrheates, who built at Athens an
octagonal tower of marble and cut on
each fare the figure of the several
winds, each looking to the quarter
from which that wind blows.
“On the tower he placed ft marble
column, on which was a Triton of
bronze holding a rod In his right hand.
And he contrived it that the figure
moved round with the wind so that
It constantly stood opposite it, and the
rod, which was above the figure,
showed In what direction the wind
blew.”
Effigies of many creatures have done
duty ns vanes. Man himself has not
escaped. The female form divine even
has not been spared this indignity.
Such a sentiment as Is expressed in
the sentence, fickle as the
wind,” may have been. In the mind
of Theodosius the Great when he
erected at Constantinople, in the
Fourth century, the vane called the
“I.ady of the Winds.”
HUMAN EYE SELDOM PERFECT
i
But Probably Few Persons Realize
That They Are Either Left or
Right-Eyed.
Few persons, perhaps, realize that
they are so much right or left-eyed as
they are right or left-handed, remarks
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Sit down In a chair and fix your at
tention on some object on the other
side of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up rigid In front of the object
and Instantly shut your eyes. Then,
without moving your head or your
finger, open your eyes one at a time.
If when you open your right eye you
find your finger directly In front of
the object, you are right-eyed. In that
case you will find your finger very
much to the right of the object when
you open your left eye.
If you are right-handed you will
most probably find that you are right
eyed.
This is due to the fact that of the
two halves of your brain one is slightly
more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs on that side of
your body which is controlled by the
more-developed half are able to car
ry out your wishes rndre easily and
quickly than those of the other side.
The Progress of Eve.
"But these are I’arisienne!” cried
the French archeologist when he came
upon the grpven images of the ladies
who adorned the (’retain court at least
4,000 years ago. The marvelous tombs
Just brought to light in France, though
but half the age, tench the same les
son. “The false plait of hair and the
many small articles found in the
tombs," says the reporter, “prove that
women of the First century, even
though they were only peasants, were
every whit as careful of tin Ir personal
appearance as are those of today." We
talk of the advance of woman, and It
would be Impolite to suggest that she
does not advance; hut other things ad
vance with her, and Adam and the
apple and the serpent will probably
still tie there at the end of the story
as they were at the beginning.—Lon

INDIGESTION
Ther’ford’s Black-Draught Highly
Recommended by a Tennessee
Grocer for Troubles Re
sulting from Torpid
Liver.
East Nashville, Tenn.— The effltv
iency of Thedford’s Black-Draught, the
genuine, herb, liver medicine, is
vouched for by Mr k W. N. Parsons, a
grocer of this city. “It is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and I
: don’t believe I could get along without
! it. I take it for sour stomach, head
ache, bad liver. Indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result of
a torpid liver.
“I have kuown and used it for years,
and can and do highly recommend it
to every one. I won’t go to bed with
out it in the house. It will do all it
claims to do. I can’t say enough for
it”
Many other men and women through
out the country have found Black-
Draught just as Mr Parsons describee
—valuable in regulating the liver to
Its normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels of impurities.
Thedford’s Black-Draught liver medi
cine is the original and only genuine.
Accept no imitations or substitutes.
Always ask for Thedford’s. £.£B
