Farsi Put Their Dead
on Towers of Silence
It was a terrifying night and I wa*
the first European to see It. I had to
camouflage myself and to dress and
uet like a native of India in order to
visit the sacred burial places of the
I'arsi. says a writer in "Deutsche Med
Ixlnsche Wochenschrlft."
The burial places, o* rather the stor
ing places, of the deid are the Towers
of Silence. KoreljTvers can never get
there, dead or al'.7e. aH photographs
are prohibited. Only by special Influ
ence was it possible for me to get near
these strange towers. A Farsl to
whom I had been recommended by a
friend agreed to guide me.
On Malabar hill there Is a grove,
surrounded by a high wall. A road
takes one up to the house of the
guards. We happened to sec the burial
of a rich Parsl. The body was dressed
in white linen and lay on a network
<?f strong linen straps held up by 12
'?arrlers. The entire mourning crowd,
dressed In white instead of black, fol
lowed the corpse two and two. Kach
?ouple was tied together by a white
linen ribbon. Eagles and hawks cir
cled about In the air.
I was unable to get to the Towers of
Silence proper, but my companion de- I
scribed the burial procedure. The i
corpse Is laid on the platform of one |
of the towers by men who are em
ployed for their whole lifetime In this
work. As the body begins to decay
the eagles conae down. The skeleton
remains for about three months and
then Is buried in a valley.
Possibility Venus of
Milo Never Had Arms
It may be some consolation to art
lovers throughout the world, who have
wondered In what position were the
missing arms of the famous Venus de
Mllo statue In the Louvre, to learn
that even the ancients themselves were
l>erplexed on this point, according to a
letter to the Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican.
Doctor Edde, a French physician,
has Just made known that during a re
cent visit to Egypt he came Into pos
session of a small bronze statuette of
the same period as the Venus de Mllo.
nils statuette Is an exact copy of the
famous Venus, and like the original. It
has no arms. Doctor Edde therefore
concludes that the Venus de Mllo
never at any time had arms, and he
believes that the sculptor, when he
had carved out of stone such a divine
form, gave up all idea of adding arms.
When the Venus de Mllo was discov
ered on the Island of Mllo a large re
ward was offered to anyone who could
find the arms, but. In spite of exten
sive search, nothinur was discovered.

Old Scottish Building t
Something of Mystery
All over Scotland are hundreds of
forts built on hilltops. .The White
Caterthun, in Forfarshire, Is a good
example of these. It consists of four
circles of stone, the diameter of the
Inner circle being 80 paces. The stones
are 125 feet thick at the top and over
100 feet thick at the biise.
Heyond the outer circle la a ditch
with an eHrthen breastwork round It,
while beyond this, again, runs a double
entrenchment. The entrances to these
various circles are zigzagged, so that
etch remains covered by fortifications.
The fort at Bamukin, in Aberdeen
shire, has five great stone circles, all
flawlessly built, although there are no
toolmarks to show how they were
shaped.
These buildings? are interesting, but
not puzsllng, but there are others, com
monly known as Plots' Burghs, to
which no use can be assigned.
? burgh Is a single tower, round In
sbape, wide at the bottom and narrow
leg towards the top from the outside.
outer walls of these tower?,
shaped Into circles, have no openings
of any sort except the entrance. Ob
vi'r.isly. then, the buildings wer? never
lR'.end4d for forts.
Inside the walls slop? the reverse
vay. and between the two are count
less rooms, often too ?mall for people
erer to have lived In them. The largest
of these mystery towers is that of
Xovm/, in tfr* Orkneys.
"Tomorrow, Fair
and Warmer"
By SARAH E. McCAHEY
(Copyright.)
((ST^HEHE are your peaches and
^ grapes, Miss Altheu, but it's no
kind of day for preserving peaches or
making Jelly, because It won't Jell.
There's a reason, iuy wife says?**
"Just leave tbein there, Mr. Burbage,
near the door where It's cool?thank
you. Good day!" and Altheu Street
smiled the patient smile of the annual
preserver wlio had arisen that morn
ing to the sound of pouring rain on
the very day she was to make Jelly.
Suddenly a gust of wind hurled a
handful of leaves against the window
pane, where they stuck. A blind
slipped a hinge and smashed a front
window, and she got drenched trying
to patch It up.
"I'm going out?I am going to see
Mary and Elizabeth Dunn. They have
had three months of Sorlck Downs and
must be home by tills time. Wish I
had a little summer place like that.
And tucking her smooth, gray locks
snugly under her hat, Althea Street
was soon picking her way gingerly
over puddles and gutters on her way
to see Mary Dunn.
Her ring at the door of Mary Dunn's
house was answered by someone who
fumbled uncertainly with the bolt.
"Not Elizabeth," thought Miss Al>
thea, Impatiently; "she'd never take
that Ions!"
A sudden yank, and there stood be
fore her a nurse in uniform with a
pink boudoir cap on her head.
Yes, the Misses Dunn were In?they
couldn't very well be out?they were
ill i
"Is that you, Altliea?" called a husky
voice from upstairs. "Come upi"
Miss Althea went up.
There was a little white bed In the
parlor and In it reclined Elizabeth
Dunn looking pale and weary, and be
?Ide her, keeping sympathetic company,
was her sister, Mary.
"Well," gasped the visitor, "both ill?
And I've been thinking you were hav
ing a glorious summer I"
"We had storms," said Elizabeth,
weakly, "several of them?but the last
was the worst."
"Just before we came away It rained
three whole days and nights," said
Mary, in a husky voice.
"On hot days I've been envying you
the shade of your beautiful trees and
the cool sound of the little brook," In
terposed Miss Althea.
"The trees were blown down near
enough to give us the scare of our
lives and the brook became a young
torrent that nobody could cross," con
tinued Elizabeth. "You know we have
no cellar in our bungalow, and
the wind knocked down the lattice and
blew something under our floor that
scratched and whined "the night
through?a dog?or cat?maybe. We
couldn't get ..out to see."
"The grocer couldn't get to us and
we had to live on cornflakes and milk
until he could," sighed Mary. "It cer
tainly was a terrible storm and
wrought great havoc. Afterwards peo
ple came down to see the sights."
"They should have seen us," said
the gentle Elizabeth as sarcastically
as she could. "When I had to have a
nurse, and the good neighbor across
the road offered us the use of an ex
tra room, the poor thing had to wade
the brook every day to get me."
"You'll be having that lovely view
next summer," murmured Althea
Street soothingly.
"If we ever go there again," said
Elizabeth with emphasis, "they'll first
have to catch every bootlegger In the
state. You were lucky, Althea, that
you stayed home."
Miss Althea ventured a timid remon
strance. Her own grievances were so
swallowed up In the face of all this
evidence that she felt cheated.
"It rained here?It knocked down my
honeysuckle trellis and broke my tele
phone wire?. The wind blew?"
"Blew," said Elizabeth scornfully?
"It howled down there?and yowled I
It took the roof off the dance hall and
blew tents out to sea!"
Althea walked out of the house of
Mary Dunn luto pouring rain, forget
ting to raise her blue bilk umbrella wltb
Its handle of amber, and she forgot to
look out for the gutters and puddles.
"Why, Miss Altbea, you're soaking
wet?is your umbrella broken?" called
a young neighbor with a music roll
under her arm. catching up with her.
"Here, get under mine."
"Why?er?no, my umbrella Is all
right. But where have you been In
such a storm?"
"Oh, taking a lesson," laughed the
girl lightly, tapping her music roll.
"I, too, have been taking a lesson,'
said Miss Althea soberly.
"Not really, Miss Althea T ejaculat
ed little Miss Neighbor surprlsedly as
they hurried along.
"It wasn't exactly a music I
explained Althea Street, as she stepped
plumb Into an ankle-deep puddle sai
did not seem to mlsd It st alL Tvs j
bmxmA Uwt iw.cwt is ut, M
around Uiti corut-r, uiuyoe, without unci
log someone who has so much more to
worry about than you thai It should
make you ashamed to complain."
And as they had reached her little
flat, she let herself In and hurried to
the kitchen door for the evening paper.
"Tomorrow, fair nnd wanner," she
repeated, as she scanned the radio pro
gram for the evening.
"This evening the Orosswlfe's league
will broadcast a special program of
Instruction on the canning and pickling
of fruits, especially peaches."
"Elizabeth was right," mused Althea
Street as she adjusted her ear phones
and tuned In?"I'm lucky."
Father of Mail Service
Mall coaches were Introduced Into
England in the year 1784 by one John
Palmer of Bath. This worthy gentle
mau suffered much Inconvenience from
the mail leaving London on Monday
und not reaching Bath until Wednes
day. He traveled the country advo
cating reform, and was set down as a
bore. But the system of flying malls
he was able to Inaugurate lasted until
the days of railways. Still, It was not
much better than the system of the
Roman malls, as established In the
Third ceiUury, by which it seems pos
sible that letters might have reached
liome. from England in three or four
days If relays of galloping chariots
could cover a thousand miles at 14
miles an hour.
Way to Judge Age
A moving picture man delights to
tell of a proposal that happened while
he was directing one of his latest pic
tures. It seems that a young writer
had laid his heart at the feel of the
leading woman and had been coldly
turned down.
"Perhaps it's best, after all," he re
marked, acidly. "After all, a man of
twenty-five would aoon tire of a woman
who hovers around tliirty-two."
"But I'm not that old," gasped the
woman. "Whatever led you to believe
that I'm thirty-two?"
"Well, perhaps you're not," admitted
the young man, "but it certainly
struck me that you must be somewhere
near the freezing point."?Los Angeles
Times.
Drilling Holea in Glaas
Drilling holes in glass Is not so very
difficult. The old method utilized a
discarded triangulur file, ground to a
sharp point and used in a brace with
a slight pressure. The point of con
tact was moistened with turpentine.
The more recent way and one that is
quicker is to use a brass or copper
tube with thin walls instead of a file,
says Popular Science Monthly. The
tube is placed in a brace and drilling
is accomplished with powdered carbo
rundum as a cutting agent. A guide
of wood keeps the tube properly cen
tered.
Odd Headpiece
The superb bird of puradise 1b one
of the most remarkable of all that
ffimous group, says Nature Magazine
of Washington. It Is only nine inches
long, velvety black with purple and
green metallic ornaments, Including a
large bright metallic green pectoral
shield and another large forked vel
vety black erectile shield on the back
of the neck. It lives in New Guinea.
Couldn't Be Fooled
Alex had donned his first pair of
trousers, and his grandmother was pre
tending phe did not know him.
"It's Alex, grandmother," he Insisted
earnestly.
"Oh, no! It can't be Alex because
Alex wears rompers."
"But it Is Alex, grandmother, be
cause I was 'there and saw mother pJt
them on me."
Women as Inventor?
American women have patented
nearly 1,400 devices. Women have
patented contraptions all the way
from hooks-and-eyes to artificial eye
lashes, including road-building equip
ment and Intricate machinery. When
Howe was trying to invent the sewing
machine he reached the point of where
he was stumped. His wife, tiring of
having him sitting around glowerlnf,
shoved him aside, sat down before the
machine, gave It a few whirls and
said, "Put the thread eyelet In the
other end of the needle down by the
point." That solved the problem.
