WONDERS OF AMERICA By T.T.MAXEY Seemingly No Portion of the World's History Has Not at Some Time Recorded Famine. "Give us bread," "give us rice," Is the appeal heard from many lands. The try of hunger Is a world-old story, declares a communication to the National Geographic society con cerning fearful famines of the past, from which the following is quoted: "Among the earliest authentic rec ords of history is the famous 'stele of famine,' recently discovered carved on a tomb of granite on the island of Suhal, In the first cataract of the Nile. Egyptologists differ us to the exact antiquity, but there is evidence to prove that it was chiseled lo the time of Tcheser (or Tosortbus), who held sway over Egypt nearly two thou sand yeurs before the time of Abra ham. "A period greater thnn that which stretches between the Crucifixion and the present day elapsed after the fam ine of Tcheser's reign before Joseph arrived to hold sway over this same land of Egypt. As the chief admin istrator for one of the Iiyksos Pha raohs, he prepared for seven lean years which were to drive bis brothers and his aged father, Jac ob, out of Canaan, down into the valley of the Nile in .search of corn. "One of the earliest chiefs of sys tematic famine relief work was Augus tus Caesar, who was at war with the I'urthians when summoned back to Hume by the disaster of 23 B. C, when the Tiber overflowed, causing widespread suffering. "The starving plebeians proclaimed him diclator and urged him to assume control of the corn supply, which he did will) exceptional skill and indus try. He sent ships to many quarters of the Mediterranean to collect corn, and placed his stepson, Tiberius, In ( barge of the work of unloading the grtlo at Oatla and transporting it lo the capital, all of which was done with great dispatch. "Krom the time of Augustine, tb roughest Ibe days of the empire, Home seldom suffered from famine a striking contrast to the frequency f th'i affliction in the days of the infant republic. 'T.obubly In no Other country of the world has a people been brought to such a low ebb of morality or become so completely lost to all semblance of rational humanity as in the series of famines which swept over Egypt dur ing the tenth, eleventh and twelfth centuries, under Mohammedan rule. A low Nile In 1KJ7 A. I), resulted In a famine the following year, which swept away 000.000 people In the vi cinity of the city of Fustat, G'awhar, a Mohammedan Joseph, founded a new city (the Cairo of today) a short distance from the stricken town and Immediately organized relief measures. "The story of famines In England has been a gloomy one from earliest limes. "While backward seasons were con tributing actors, the responsibility for the two great famines of Henry Ill.'s reign Is to be laid at the door of the government Itself. In Ibe llrst of these (1286) 20,000 persons are said lo have died in London alone. The suffering In 12571259 was even worse. "Ireland has been a land of many OSS, and not the least of these have been the famines which from lime to time have taken such heavy toll of the island's manhood. As early as 1MKJ !MVt an Intolerable famine visited 1 he country, ami parents are salt! to have, sold their children in order to get money with which to buy food. On at least three occasions the peasantry has been driven to cannibalism." , Western Newspaper Union. OUR GREATEST ZOO FANCY a beautiful 2t54-acre park with lakes and a waterfall.

Give me a ! word with the stork and I'll tell you ; the age of the youngest member and A giant anteater is probably the most peculiar animal and the 22-foot-long regal python, weighing 170 pounds, the most unwelcome froth the public's standpoint. The bears make a strong play for popular approval, but the apes are past grand masters In attracting attention to their "monk ey shines." The woodchuck seems always to be "in the dumps," while the jolly little prairie dogs appear to be happy always. The sloth is the slowest-moving animal, while "Haldy". the big chimpanzee, leads when It conies to quickness of Intellect and ability to receive training. The most discordant chorus greets one In the large bird house, where the commingled shrieks and squawks vary from that of the macaw which can be heard a mile to the lower utterances of the less noisy fowls but, for a mixture of queer sounds, just step Into the Insect bouse.
