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.
