FROM BEGINNING OF TIME
Origin of Atmosphere Goes Back to
Events Oecurrlno Tena or Mil
llont of Yeara Ago.
If wn recall tho tcachlnjr of geoloRy
nnd astronomy, telling us how the
enrth win once too hot to sustain life,
wo shall see that the mixture of gases
that covers the solid surface of tho
earth, nnd that we familiarly call nlr,
must have had n very Interesting ins
torv. According to one widely ncccpt
mi thenrv nf the earth's origin, nil
that we know now ns the solid enrth
nnd nil tho lfnitld matter that now
nils tho ocean beds was once gas

lids being the fate Mint Is supposed
to Imve befallen the former ntmosphcre
of (ho moon, nnd somu of the llghte
routtltiienls of nnr own ntmosphcre.
In the imst tthen the earth's temper
Htni-i! was much higher, and when
many other conditions were different
It Is mure than probable, for Instance,
Hint, long before man npprnrcd, tho
proportion of carbon dioxide In tho nl

would ncrniint for tho extreme lux

every lump of coal henrs witness, tho

FOOTBALL IS ANCIENT SPORT
Was Popular Among the Old Romans
and Also Found Some Favor
With the Florentines.
Can you Imagine Julius Caesar play
ing quarterback on the Itotnu univer
sity eleven, or Hrutus skirting the ends
In those days when tho forum was ns
busy ns n three-ring circus? No? Nev
ertheless It was a probability, for It
appears now that football originated
with the Itomaus.
A few uneducated persons used to
think that football was of Orcek In
vention j but Trench nnd Camps
trnlned news hounds, aided by Italian
propagandists, Imvo fastened It on
Home. The Homnns, not rcnlly know
log Hint It was football, csllcd It "cnl
clum." It appears to huvo been n
goodly, rocgh-golng game, full of
spirit, feet and broken elbows, played
more on the soccer order than the
Itugby stylo In common fnvor.
With the fall of the Homan empire
"cnlclum" nlso fell out of the spot
light, not to appear lu favor until the
tltnu of tho I'lorcntlnes nnd their
Mcdlcls. There. Is no record of Mil
chlnvelll hnvlng participated In the
games, but wu Imaglno Hint If he did
ho played n foxy, clever game. (Ho
vnnnl do llardl, n well-known I'loren
Hno newspaper man, wrote ns follows
In lr.SO:
"The cnlcln (Inter name) Is a public
game played between two groups of
young men on foot, not tinned, who
playfully compete In making n hall, hy
means of their feet, pass outside of u
certain lino hack of tho opposite
group. The hall Is mediocre lu size.
Illlcd with wind, nnd the game Is
played purely for the honor of winning."
CATALONIA GREAT SEA POWER

Undisputed Naval Oway People
Still Proud of Achievements.
The Moors were expelled from Mar
celona In the ninth century, f ntnlnnln
had more than four centuries' start
over .Seville and six over M' taga. It
Is little wonder, therefore, that Span
I mIi enterprise, If such a tcim Is up
ptlcnhle, Is seen nt Its best In Cain
Innlii, because It has had n real oppor
tunity to express Itself. Catalonia has
always looked beyond Its geographical
limits. It tins, In fact, looked sen
ward, It was on the waves that the
men of Hnrcelonn found rlrhia nnd
glory. They were the rivals of the
I'lsatis, (leiioesn nnd Venetians, nnd
Hnrcelonn can beast of a iinvnl his
tory as grent perhaps us theirs Cata
lonia for n time held snny of H e sen,
and It was only upon the coniolldntloii
of .Spain nt (ho beginning of the six
teenth century nnd the ric of the
great modern states that the city was
eclipsed ns n sen Miwer. The Cain
lonlans, proud of their achievements,
looked with little fnvor upon Colum

The n.iior In History.
In tracing tho history of shaving It
should be sutllclent to go hack to the
Creeks nnd Itomuiis, upon whoao clvlll
ration our own Is hnsml. Heard were
highly esteemed mining the former up
to tho 1 1 mo of Alexander the Ureal,
who was smooth shaven. Due reason
for the abolition of the beard among
soldiers was the fact that It afforded
tho enemy something to lay hold of.
At tin earlier period the wearing of
certain typo of helmet and gurnet hud
protected the beard. Tho Itomaus wore
beards down to the time of the (lalllc
wars, while (he Cauls, albeit barba
rians, were smooth shaven Hive for the
tuiistuche, The uuth)iilty of barber
shops nnd razors In Home Is variously
given by historians. Koine have
claimed that the tlrst burlier shop, at
least In that wrt of the world, was
opened In .Sicily In KOO 11. C, while
other iiuthorltles make this date far
earlier or later. The Sicilian ccms to

Wonderful View From Stirling.
It Is from tho top of a theer crag,
more than -100 feet above the sea, that
the famous "links" uf the forth may
be seen to best advantage. It Is al

aud wonderful, too, for the wealth of
