The great temple of Jupiter, or of the sun, was the largest and most
famous of the temples. It was sacred to Jupiter (Baal), with whom were as
sociated Venue and Mercury. This magnificent building formerly boasted 54
columns, of which these six remain. The pillars were formed of three
blocks and are 60 feet high. Note the man standing beside the pillar.

WIVES OF SAVAGES
Some of the savages in South Ameri
ca exclude women folk from every sort
of public amusement, such as danc
ing, feasting, celebrating and other
outside carrying-on. At such times the
women are kept busy serving the sav
ages with roasted monkeys, stewed
turtles and crude intoxicating drinks,
which the women make by primitive
processes of fermentation. If they can
afford it, the savages have several
wives each, some of the men carrying
on the custom of stealing young girls
from neighboring tribes. The savage
explains his having several wives this
way: “This one does only garden
work, anft'does it so well I keep her
.at it.” Os another, he will say that
she is fine at making intoxicating
beverages, and so on.

STRENGTH OF INDIAN BEETLE
Annie Drake, writing to the English
Countryside Monthly from Seram
pore, Bengal, says: Last week a na
tive servant brought me a longicorn
beetle which he was carrying by Its
feelers, while the beetle was carrying
a stone weighing nearly half a pound!
But how the feelers could stand the
strain (the beetle was carried in this
fashion for about 40 yards), and bow
the legs could retain their hold of a
heavy stone which they could not en
compass, I cannot conceive! The
length of the beetle was two and one
quarter inches, its feelers three
inches, and it weighed one-quarter
ounce only, while the stone weighed
six and three-quarter ounces, meas
ured three and one-quarter Inches by
two and one-half inches, and was
seven inches in circumference.
NO MORE WOODEN POLES
Wooden telegraph poles will soon be •
a thing of tbe past in New Zealand. 1
In the future they will give place to ।
the more durable poles made of ferro- 1
concrete. These poles, being uniform >
in design, will -present a more pleasing
appearance to the eye than do the :
wooden poles, which are rough looking
and decidedly disfiguring to the streets
and the avenues in which they are
placed.

These inscriptions are carved more or less deeply upon the smooth sides
of cliffs or boulders by the Indians of the southwest. In reproducing the in
scriptions a matrix paper, such as Is used by stereotypers, has been employed.
f The.paper is prepared in the same manner as for making a matrix of a type
form and Is then applied to the face of the rock over the Inscriptions and
beaten Into place until every cavity in the surface has been filled. It Is then
allowed to set, and when stripped off the paper shows a perfect reproduction
of the inscription and even the texture er grain of the rook.
MASTERPIECE IN PEARL
An exquisite bit of work has just
been completed in southern California
by a 17-year-old lad, Nicola Alfana,
who comefrom Bethlehem, Palestine,
a year ago with his mother and broth
ers. It is a reproduction in mother-of
pearl of the famous painting >‘‘The Last
Supper.'’ In a recess of this work of
art, which is carved from 60 pearls,
are the disciples sitting at a table with
Jesus in the center. Each disciple is
carved out of a pearl, as is the princi
pal character at the supper scene.
Just over the recess, on the top edge
of the frame is shown a mold, in the
center of which is the tomb from
which the Christ has risen and also the
two Marys weeping. On each side, in
separate forms, are the angels. The
whole is wonderful. Its value Is $20,-
000. The boy will place it on exhibi
tion at the Panama-Pacific exposi
tion. He commenced the work when
slightly over 13 years of age, and has
devoted eight hours a day since then
to it.
HOW TO TELL AGE OF FISH
Until within recent years there had
been ascertained no trustworthy way
of finding out the age of fish. It has
been shown that mere size does not
indicate the age. Reiblsch, Helncke
and others have discovered that many
of the bones, scales and otoliths of
fishes have annual age rings, re
sembling those in tree trunks, and by
means of these Professor Wallace and
others have now determined the rate
of growth of plaice, showing that
some specimens attain the age of
twenty-five, or even as much as twen
ty-nine years. Age can now be cor
related with size and weight, although
it appears that the sexes have differ
ent rate of growth.
FOREST ON ICE
One of the world’s most wonderful
forests stands on ice. It is in Siberia
in the region between Ural and the
Okhotok sea. When a well was dug
in the vicinity of the forest, it was
found that a depth of 300 feet the
ground was stfll frozen.
GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT -

has been claimed to be second only in
importance to the Panama canal. To
perform the “opening” Mr. Gaynor
had to stand in a rocky cavern 1,100
feet under the bed of the Hudson
river.
GEORGIA FARMERS
NOT BEING FOOLED
ABOUT UNDERWOOD
ATTEMPT TO CREATE PREJUDICE
BY LAMB INCIDENT
HAS FAILED.
LAMB WAS NOT NAMED
BY OSCAR UNDERWOOD
Alabamian Had Nothing to Do With
Appointment of Virginian to Head
Committee on Agriculture —A Geor
gia Farmer Exposes Methods of
Wilson Managers in Georgia.
Washington, April 4.—(Special.)—
Efforts to prejudice Georgia farmers
against Oscar W. Underwood because
John Lamb, of Virginia, was made
chairman of the house committee on
agriculture, is the meanest kind of
underhand politics.
It is an attempt at deception. It
is founded on a fundamental untruth.
Bringing such an issue into this cam
paign is no credit to the individual
responsible. It is all the result of
petty, personal pique, and the whole
truth may yet come out.
Underwood Didn’t Name Lamb.
Oscar Underwood did not name
John Lamb to his present place. The
ways and means committee was re
sponsible for that action; just as they
were responsible for making Adam
son, of Georgia, chairman of the com
mittee on interstate and foreign com
merce; Hardwick, of Georgia, chair
man of the committee on rules; Bart
lett, a member of appropriations;
Roddenbery, of public buildings and
grounds; Tribble, of naval affairs;
Bell, of postoffice and post roads, and
Lee, of agriculture.
Underwood is a wonderful leader,
and his personal influence with the
committee and with the house is
great; but he is not omnipotent.
That is not a human quality.
How Lamb Got Place.
John Lamb has been a member of
the house for sixteen years, and un
der the rule of precedent, was enti
tled to the position he received. To
set him aside would have been a vio
lation of its usual custom and of long
established precedent.
He is a Virginian, commanded Com
pany D, Third Virginia cavalry,
through three years of war, and was
several times wounded. He is a
southern Democrat.
Mr. Lamb may have made mis
takes; he may have been guilty of er
rors of judgment; as he is 72 years
of age, he is sometimes crochety in
temper. But to strike at Underwood
over the head of Lamb is about as
fair as it would be to charge his se
lection to Representative Brantley, of
Georgia, or any other member of the
ways and means committee.
Harris Trying to Use Lamb Incidents.
The adoption of the Lamb incident
by William J. Harris in a circular let
ter he is sending out was called to the
attention of the Underwood headquar
ters here by a Georgia farmer. He
wants to know if this same Under
wood is not the man,whose name is
attached to the farmers’ free list, and
which passed the house last year, and
would today be a law but for Presi
dent Taft’s veto.
This same farmer was evidently
not as dense a “rube” as the Wilson
managers took him to be.
Commenting on the charge that
Woodrow Wilson helped to defeat ex-
Senator Smith, "the millionaire poli
tical boss,*’ by putting up Martine, of
New Jersey, Mr. Georgia farmer re
calls that Senator Smith was former
ly an accepted supporter and large
co .tributor to Governor Wilson’s cam
paign.
Georgia Farmers Not Fooled.
The following sentence in Manager
Harris' letter is marked No. 3 by Mr.
Georgia farmer: “The enemies of
Governor Woodrow Wilson are charg
ing him with being against foreign
immigration and urging all foreign-,
ers to vote against him.”
Commenting on this point, he says:
“I haven’t seen them brag on this
before. This ‘argument’ is slipped to
us by mail. It is not being publicly
used. It is whispered in the farm
er’s ear.”
Mr. Harris declares that “Wilson
started life a poor Georgia boy, and
his life should be an inspiration to
every boy in Georgia.” The only
trouble about that is Wilson was real
ly born in Virginia. He only lived ►
very short time in Georgia.
ATLANTA JOURNAL’S
OPINION OF UNDERWOOD
As Expressed Just Before the Cam
paign Began.
Congressman Underwood, as House
leader of the Democrats and as Chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit
tee, has measured up to the standard
of true statesmanship. He has ren
dered incalculable service to the
cause of honest tariff revision, the
great issue of the pending campaign,
and by his splendid poise and mastery
of affairs he has exalted his party’s
name In the minds of thinking Amer
icans.—(Atlanta Journal, Jan. 7, 1912)

A WONDERFUL HEAL UtGIHFLUEHCE
111 KIDIIEY TROUBLES.
A year and a half ago I was taken
with a severe attack of kidney trouble
that pained me to such an extent that
morphine had to be given me. Was at
tended by a doctor who pronounced It
as stone in the bladder and prescribed
Llthla Water. I took Lithia Water
and tablets for some time and received
no relief from them. I stopped taking
medicines for some time and having
some of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root in
the house, I decided to try it and felt
much relieved; while taking the sec-,
ond bottle commenced to pass gravel,
in all at least a half dozen or more
and have not suffered the slightest
since and in all have taken one bottle
and a half and feel very grateful to
Swamp-Root. Yours very truly,

Fads for Weak Women
Nine-tenths of all the sickness of women is due to some derangement or dis
ease of the organs distinctly feminine. Such sickness can be cured —is cured

local treatment so universally insisted upon by doctors, and so abhorrent to
every modest woman. XBh
