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. ? burgh Is a single tower, round In shape, wide at the bottom und narrow !ng towards th*e top from the outside, ^h* outer walls of these towers, shaped Into drclrs. have no openings of any aort except the entrance. Ob viously. then, the buildings wera never iU'endSd for forts.

"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.

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.
