Page Six HAD CLEAR VISION OF RADIO Imaginative Canadian Wrlttr Looked Into ths Future With Sight That Wat Prophetic. A remarkable Imaginative predle tlou of wireless telephony was made fcT Grant Balfour (J, M. Grant) of Toronto In a triologue which appeared In an English magazine In 18Si, and was afterward reproduced In a pamphlet entitled "Bahrak-Kohl," two Hebrew words, meaning the voice of the lightning. The characters of this little treatise were represented as In the neighborhood of the Jordan. "The prophet now took from his girdle," says the narrative, "a small Instrument resembling a trumpet for the deaf. Coming dowu to Mohammed, he asked him to turu his right side toward the south and to put the broad end of the instrument to his right ear. The prophet then luqulred where his home was. " 'My home.' replied Mohammed, 'Is In the extreme south of Arabia, 1,400 miles away.' 'Listen now,' said the prophet ; dost thou hear the sound of waves?' "I do,' replW'd the sheik. 'Where may they be?' " 'These waves, answered the proph et, 'are the waves of the Indian ocean breaking upon the Arabian shore.' " Further describing the lnstrumeut, the prophet said: "The thing before thee is hut a rude pattern in part of the coming needed device of mau. No such device is required by a prophet of the Lord to entrust the lightning with a message: The prophet speaks, nay, he needs but to will, and it Is done." Toronto Globe. GREEK ART LONG IN MAKING Mistaken Idea Too Long Held That It Was a Thing of Spon taneous Growth. Every now and then some extreme modernist comes forward with the statement that the Greek Inspiration has no place in the art of our time. Tet, from a broad modern standpoint, "classic art" has so greatly enlarged its scope and widened its horizon that it seems in no danger of dying out of the present-day world. What used to be called "the classic traditions" have long since died out and given place to new conceptions of the origins of Greek art, and the tendency of mod ern criticism is also to revise old ideas of late classic styles. Any and all periods of Hellenic development are accepted in their relation to our own time, rather than as absolute, conserv ative Ideals of beauty. Archeology has, in our day, become one of the most vividly Interesting and thoroughly alive of pursuits, continu ally opening up new avenues of in quiry, and giving light and inspira tion to the whole field of art. Arehe ological discoveries of the last 50 years have shown that the golden age of Greek art was more than 2,000 years In the making. It is strange enough to think that previously it was regarded as a spontaneous growth, with origins veiled in Impenetrable mystery. Now, the adventurer into the great regions of knowledge, where the story of Greek civilization un folds itself, may become possessed of at least the main facts of prehistoric epochs long before Greek art became Greek. "The Field of Art," in Scrib-ner8. Job Led Israel Out of Egypt. A northern visitor was playing golf on one of the Florida winter resort courses this spring, where the cad dies were largely colored boys. Most of the boys he found to be deeply re ligious. It is open to question whether they read the Bible them selves or absorbed most of their ; knowledge through ' their' ears, listen Ing to their elders. The northerner and his caddy were walking down the fairways. "You know considerable about the Bible, Henry," the player said, "I suppose you know that when' Jonah led the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt It took them almost a lifetime to get to the promised land." "No, sir," the colored boy replied, "that "wasn't Jonah what led the Israels. Jonah never done that. It -was Job." . ' Physician Uses Airplane. A doctor in Syria, to keep In touch with bis patients among the wandering Bedouin tribes, uses an airplane. From his headquarters in Palmyra he files over the desert, alighting wherever he finds a tribe encamped. Ills fame as a physician has already spread far In to the desert, and whenever his 'plane lands Bedouin patients flock to con sult him. Although his practice cov ers a wide area and his nomad pa tients are constantly on the move, his task is comparatively easy. The clear air of the desert makes it pos sible for him to see encampments at a great distance. Doctor Martinet has already flown to and treated over 100 serious cases and many minor ones. Leather-Softening Machine. Working leather by the various proc esses known as graining, boarding and staking, ordinarily a laborious manual operation, Is now accom plished by mechanical means with a machine designed by a Massachusetts Inventor, reports Popular Mechanics Magazine. Two broad belts, running on rollers, are so mounted that faces traveling in opposite directions are arranged one above the other, a short distance apart. The hide to be sof tened is laid on a metal plate and In serted between the belt faces, the up per half then being pressed down by a lever. HERE'S REAL BERNARD SHAW Apparently the World Has Had a Wrong Idea Concerning That Distinguished Qentlsman. The popular supposition that Shaw Is a greet egotist is, like nearly all popular suppositions, hopelessly wrong, Cosmo Hamilton writes tn the Spur. He poses as an egotist, be cause It afftrrds him Immense amuse ment to see how much ire It pro duces, lie knows, of course, that lie is a master craftsman who stands alone as a dramatist. He has proved It so often. As a matter of fact, he Is a very simple and bumble man. a great Christian, deeply moved by the woes and the sufferings of so many fellow creatures and greatly Impa tient of all the hyiHcrtsy and red tape that stand hi the way of the betterment of the world. No man living has keener sympathies or a more practical method of charity. He gives most 'of his money away. And there is certainly no man who Is so enthusiastic about other people's work, or so very ready to give a help ing hand to the young men who are knocking at the dinr. It is a re freshing and delightful sight to see him at one of his rehearsals, stand ing in the middle of the stage in his bilious clothes and hygienic boots sur rounded by the carefully chosen act ors and actresses upon whom he tries his latest jokes, a kindly and whiten ing Mephlstopheles. It Is equally delightful to see him walk forth In the afternoon Into the London that he knows and loves so well, kid-gloved, ilapperly hatted, wearing a loosely built suit of tweeds, to make his jaunty way out of the purlieus of the Adelp'hl into Piccadilly, talking to himself, laughing aloud and utterly un conscious of the attention of the passers-by. He Is really a sort of elderly schoolboy who makes a hobby of para dox, whose legs are In the present, but whose head Is 20 years in advance of his time. COMET-FINDING NOW EASY Work of Picking Up "Heavenly Visi tors" Has Been Reduced to a Scientific Basis. Seven comets which have been seen on previous occasions are expected to return to the vicinity of the earth this year. If they all keep their ap pointments, and the average num ber of new comets turn up, astronomers will have at least a full dozen under observation between now and Decem ber 31. But there is reason to fear that some of the seven old comets have met with mishaps while bowling along through space, and that they have either been shattered Into un recognizable debris, or diverted into quite different orbits. There is, how ever, little romance now In comet find Ing, as was the case when heroic comet-hunters swept the skies all night In the hope of dropping on one. Now they set traps for them combina tion of telescopes and cameras turn ing In unison with the rotation of the earth on its axis and go to bed until morning, when they develop the plates and examine them for the tell-tale marks which betray any comets that may have entered the region of the sky thus photographed. Snake Causing Reign of Terror. A South Rhodesian farmer wrote to the director of the Port Elizabeth museum for advice on the disposal of a great mamba which Inhabited a wooded kopje on his farm. "The snake," said the farmer, "has already accounted for two natives and over 100 other victims In the shape of fowls, goats, calves and dogs, when ever anything ventures within the pre cincts of the snake's haunts it darts from cover, strikes, and retires into the undergrowth again like a flash. A glimpse is all that is ever seen of this death-dealing reptile." The farmer states that the natives in the vicinity regard the snake with superstitious awe, declaring It to be the reincarna tion of Lobengirta, who seeks revenge for past wrongs. Lobengula was the king of Matabele Land and was long feared as a powerful warrior and per sistent opponent of Christianity and civilization In his klntrdoin.- . In he was defeated In a battle In 'which TiOO of his men. were killed. He then became a fugitive from his kingdom. Back to Pharaoh.' In exchanging: the Turkish title of sultan for that of king of Kgypt, Aha-"- med Fuad I, asserts the nationhood of Kgypt with a virtual hark-back to the Pharaohs. Sultans, - khedives, vails the Turkish name for vice roys and heys there have been for a century or two, but no king has reigned In Egypt since times so dis tant as to stretch away Into the shadowy Biblical era. "King" of ' Egypt has a homely, British ring that , will remind Ahamed Fuad and his 1 people of Britain's material Interest In Egypt's destinies. But Pharaoh was the ancient title of the Egyptian sovereigns originally a proper name like Caesar, adapted to a hereditary monarchy. Indigestion. First Cannibal Our chief has hay fever.

INDEPENDENCE ENTERPRISE PAWNEE ROCK A STATE PARK Kaneai Acquires Sits of a Qreat In 4lat Battle Whloh Took Place on Old Trail. One at the real historical places lu Kansas Pawnee Kock a monument or hill of rock which stood alongside of the Sunlu Fe trail, and which Unlay Is still a break In tin level of the Ar kansas valley through which the old trail wended lis way, has been made a state park, according to the Great Bend correspondence of the Topeka Capital. Oitls'.ens of l'awnee Hock who live at the base of tills park are preparing to make it one of the localities that will be remembered by the tourists aa they travel over the route which for many years was the principal route to the Paclllc. The rock Is to be cleaned tip fur the summer, the road to the top, where a monument aud pavilion are located, Is to be made over and the place made one where tourists will llud It pleusaut to stop and camp. Pawnee Hock was named for the l'awnee Indians who met annually on the rock, and tradition Is that It was the scene- of one of the greatest fights in the annals of the Indians of the pluin, when u attacking body of In dians besieged the Paw nees while they were in annual conclave, and the light lasted for days, the Pawnee being safely fortified on the rock but belnjr cut oft from water, though scouts man aged to reach the river during the night and relieve their people on the rock. In the years when the chief route to California was the Santa Fe trail and the government maintained forts every 10 to Ml miles the rock was a favorite camping place 1'or trains go ing through. The names of hundreds of travelers were cut In the soft sand stone of which the rock Is composed. Among them were many men famous In military history of the United States, Including General Sherman and General Sheridan. NEW ALLOY COMES INTO USE Duralumin Said to Be Valuable for the Corntructlon of Worm Wheels or Gears. Worm wheels or gears of a new ma terial are a recent development, says the Scientific American. Such wheels have mainly been made of steel or Iron or bronze, but now, for certain purposes and under certain conditions, they are being made of duralumin. This alloy has never before been used as gears. Duralumin Is an alloy of aluminum, magnesium, manganese and a little copper, and its strength and toughness can be made equal to mild steel, ami for a given section the weight Is one third that of the continental bronze. Superior strength in the teeth Is as sured by the alloy's tensile strength and elastic limit. The same properties that make du ralumin a suitable and desirable ma terial for worm wheels also make It valuable for spur gears and other gearing. Where duralumin can be run with steel rather than against itself the best results are obtained. For exam ple, in the timing gear trains of auto mobile motors, where both long life and quietness are essential, helical cut spur gears of duralumin alternat ed with steel gears have been In suc cessful service. . London's Infamous Slums. The slums of London, especially in Shoredltch and Bethnnl Green, have scores of householders who have not had to pay any rent for two or three years and have not the remotest Ideu of who their landlords are. The land lords dare not come forward and ad mit that they own these houses, which are In a shocking state of repair. The property Is now a liability rather than an asset. These tumbledown bouses have mostly fallen into the hands of foreigners and change hands so fre quently that track is lost of the for mer owners. The queen was shown some of tlie worst of these places by the mayor when she visited Shoredltch recently. She bud expressed a wish that nothing should be "tidied up" be forehand.

Med Icail Kecord. Smashes fegg Laying Record. An Anaconda hen recently owned by Nels Plerson, who lives In the Mas cotte section, has smashed the world's record for egg production In one year by laying 8i!9 eggs. Mr. Plerson had another hen of the same breed which laid 335 eggs during the year 1921. The chickens were purchased from a poultry breeder at Berea, O., and when the breeder learned of the re markable record of the two birds he came all the way from his Ohio home, purchased them and took them back north for exhibition purposes. Eusfls Lake (Flu.) Region. 'LADY LUCK" STILL AT WORK Motor Drivers Continue to Com mandeer Her to Guard Their Tires and Cut Gasoline Pries. Have you ever seen Lady Luckt Have you called on her and had her ctuuw llulf a dv..en sculptors say (hoy huvo seen her and have modeled froia memory the pose, the look ami the lines of the lady. Hut Ihelr ver sions vary. True accounts of the same thing always do. Hut th sketches they did hi clay which have now be come casta iif metals have certain sine I la rl lies. The truth of thoso sculptors' phan tasies has obtained strong popular supiMUt. Without any complete plebl clte the Idea has been accepted en thuslastlcally by that enlightened por tion of the population which buyH tires and gasoline. So Lady Luck bus become the fa vored mascot of the 11C-' cur, declares the New York Sun. Wherever It fol lows the road she rides uhead, as her ancestress rode ahead on the prow of u Genoese ship, lloth of them face the wind. One favorite of these figures Is poised for a leap like a girl on the end of a springboard. Hut she stands on a couple of wings aud she holds the pose. Another is the Indian maid, lluir bobbed, arms crossed, face Immobile, she stands straight and still against the wind. Her rival is a tiny creature of the type of a French marquise a lovely little doll with a Wuttoau face, with a crinkled bit of pompadour pulled close to tiny ears, who weurs for further charm a drapery that cov ers her very lands. Way along at the last of t lie pro cession comes the screaming eagle. Five years ago the eagle led, said the dealer. After the war It gave way to others, aud most of the owners of cars have gone buck to the undent faith. They carry a modern version of the same old Lady Luck. UNITED STATES NOT GREAT? In a Spiritual Sense, According to Magazine Writer, Country Does Not Rank High. Are the people of the United States truly great? (ireat we are In material things; great In world power. Hut what when, like the other great po litical entities of the past, our na tion, too, "noes west"? What will have been our national contribution to the sum total of human happiness, whirl), lu the last analysis, means "spiritual" happiness? ask Llndscy Hlayney In the North American Heview. With the eyes of the world centered upon' us. the mighty colossus of mod ern political history, can we point to any uonmaterlal achievement which will be termed by a grateful poster ity the spiritual bequest of the I'nlted Slates of America to the sum total of highest human piod? In art, llternture, law and science our achievements, while commendable, have not been outstanding. In none of these fields of human endeavor have we assisted mini to take a great on ward and upward step on the slow ami toilsome Journey toward his ultimate destiny; in none of these departments have we given to man a spiritual as set which will go far toward lifting him above the commonplace realities and sordid selfishness of everyday life. In a word, the highest Idealism of the United States has not yet expressed Itself In immortal terms In any or these fields. To Search Croeius' Tomb. Was King Croesus rich a history declares?
