The burial places, or rather the stor

of Silence. Forel?j?.i?rs can never get

Possibility V?niM of
Milo Novmr 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 Tanas de
Mile statue in the Louvre, fo learn
hat even the ancients themselves were
perplexed on this point, according te a
letter to the Bpringflela (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 bronse statuette of
the same period as the Venus de Milo.
This statuette is an exact copy of the
fumous Venus, and like the original, It
has no arms. Doctor Edde therefore
concludes that the Venus de Milo
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 arras.
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, nothing was discovered.

Old Scottish Buildings
' Something of Mystery
All over Scotland are hundreds of
forts built on hilltops. The White
Coterthun, 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 25 feet thick at the top and over
100 feet thick at the base.
Beyond the outer circle Is a ditch
with an earthen 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 Bamukln, in Aberdeen
shire. hss five great stone circles, all
flawlessly built, although there are no
toolmnrks to show how they were
shaped.
These building? are interesting, but
not puzzling, but there are others, com
ivonly known as Plcts' Burghs, to
which no use can be assigned.

had a little summer place like tkat.
i And tucking ker smooth, gray lacks
| snugly under ber hat, Altkea Street
I was soon picking her way gingerly
over puddles and gutters a* bar way
to see Mary Dunn.
Her ring at tbe door of Mary Dwn'i
bouse waa answered by someone wha
fumbled uncertainly with the bolt
"Not EMsabetk," thought Mlsa A1
thea, Impatiently; "abe'd never taka
tkat long!''
A suddea yank, and there atoed be
fore be? a aurse In uniform with a
pink boudoir cap on her head.
Tea, the kllssee Dunn were In?they
couldn't very well be out?they were
111!
"to that you, Althea?" sailed a husky
voice from upstairs. "Come up!"
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
side her, keeping sympathetic company,
was her sister, Mary.
"Well," gasped tts visitor, "both 111?
And I've been thinking you were hav
ing a glorious summerI"
"We hsd storms," said Elizabeth,
weakly, "several of them?but the last
waa tbe worst."
"Just before we came away It rained
three whole days and nlghta," 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
tbe 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 Altbea
Street soothingly.
"If we ever go there again," said
Elizabeth with emphasis, "they'U 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 grievance? 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 t
It took the roof off tbe dance hall and
blew tents out to sea!"
Althea walked out of the house of
Mary Dunn Into pouring rain, forget
ting to raise her blue silk umbrella with
Its handle of amber, and she forgot to
look out for the gutters and paddles.
"Why, Miss Althea, yon're soaking
wet?is your umbrella broken?" called
a young neighbor with a music roll
under her arm, catching up with h?r.
"Here, get ruder mine."
"Why - er- no, my umbrella la all
right. But where have you been In
such a storm?"
"Oh, taking a lesaon," laughed th?
girl lightly, tapping her music rolL
"I, too, have been taking a leas on."
said Miss Altbea soberly.
"Not really. Miss Altbea7* ejaculat

Way to Judge Age
A moving picture uion delights to
tell of a proposal that happened whlla
he was directing one of bis latest pic
tures. It seems that a young writer
had laid his heart at the feet of tJto
lea ihti*, woman and had bten coidjpr
turned down.
"Pei haps it's best, after all," he re
marked. acidly. "After all, a man <jf
twcuiN dve would soon tire of a womjga
wUo hovers around thirty-two."
"Bui I'm not that old," gasped the
woman. "Whatever led you to believ?
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."?Loe Angeles

Drilling Holes in Glass
Drilling holes in glass is not so very
difficult. The old method utilized a
discarded triangular 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.

Women aa Inventori
American women have patented
nearly 1,400 devices. Women have
patented contraptions all the way
from hooks-and-eyea 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 whera
he was stumped. His wife, tiring of
having him sitting around glowering,
shoved him aside, sat down before th*
machine, gave It a few whirls andl
said, "Put the thread eyelet In tha
other end of the needle down by th*
point" That solved the problem. v
