Early Peoples fCnew of ; :-r
Possibilities of Iron
The peoplws of the Ntar East were
among the curliest maiuifucturers of
iron, accwding to Dr.' J. sNewtoa
Friend in an uddress before the mem
bers of the Itoyul institution, Londou.
In 1300 II. C, the Hlttites were us
ing Iron r weapons in their njimerous
wars, and among the treasures of
early history preserved to posterity is
a; letter, thought to huve been ad
dressed to ltameses II of Kgypt from
the lllttlte king, saying thuL he Is
Rending with the communication an
Iron dagger. :r, . ,. . -
Tlie Itomans were skilled metallur
gists witli considerable knowledge of
how to handle Iron ores. - Virgil's
Aeneld, written around 40 B, C, con
tains nn account of a; smithy. Jn full
blast, and Pliny in 'his. "Natural His
tory," which was brought out In 77
A. D., shows an equal, faiiriliarity with
the working of the metal. An Iron
ring recently unearthed from - a Rom
an site wns' evidently .mude by solder
ing together the ends of a bent strip
of iron with some sort of copper alloy.
Cast iron, said Doctor Friend, was
first known In Sussex In 1350 und soon
became fairly common.
Vanishing Heath Hen
Was Farmer's Friend
The New England heath hen Is now
In the last stages of extinction, the
Louisville Courier-Journal reports.
The farmer has found that he not only
has: lost a source of food for his table,
but a protector of his crops. ; -:
Like the western prairie chicken, to
which it Is closely allied, and the "Bob
White" of the Central West, the heath
hen is a great enemy of Insect pests.
But of the thousands that once Inhab
ited field and woods patch, less than
100 are alive today, and these are
found only on the island of Martha's
Vineyard.
; . The Middle West lost a proline
food, supply when the passenger
pigeons died off. But the wild pigeon
was otherwise of little economic value.
It was largely a grain eater, though
beech mast and weed seeds also
formed its food.
The heath hen, however, Is as valu
able as the quail to farmers. OrnU
thologlsts and conservationists have
pointed this out. Hence efforts are
being made to save the bird from ex
tinction and, if possible to bring it
back to its former numbers.
Penny Not Worth While
At Times square a matinee crowd
waited for the long-distance busses.
Other crowds pushed by in a steady
stream,- yet above the traffic noises
came the clink of a dropped coin.
Those passing looked down, alert, cu
rious, until a single penny whirled
into sight, spun around and then
flopped to the sidewulk. No one
picked if up. It was tramped on,
pushed and started rolling again.
Many looked, but- none stopped until
a chubby little fellow, holding tight to
his mother's hand, spied It.
"Mother, mother!" he cried in ex
citement. "I see my penny! Stop
Jet. me Jet me pick It up I"
"Come, come," ,chlded the mother,
impatiently, as she jerked him. along,
"It's " only a penny. Let it alone.
You'll get .your gloves dirty, dear."

Colonial Workmanship
The greatest quality In all Colonial
work Is dignity. In the houses of the
rich and the houses of the poor there
Is apparent the same dignified scorn
of ostentation and the same pride in
honest building and honest living. Al
though it has been said that Colonial
architecture Is old-fashioned and be?
longs to a day that Is' past, this Is no
more true of Colonial design than of
any other of the traditional styles.
Furthermore, Colonial architecture
seems out of dute only because its
prpgreag was stopped by the Greek
revival and the eighteen eighties.. - If
It had continued to grow and develop,
how much more lovely would our coun
tryslde be than it Is now with its pot
pourri of all styles Including the
Scandinavian 1 : 1 .
Mother's Orders
Ruth and Marjdrle were spending
the afternoon with their little friend,
Jane. At five o'clock they informed
their hostess that they must be going.
"My dears," said Jane's mother,
?'pan't you stay and have supper with
usr ''
"No, thank you," both replied.
"Mother told us to come home at five."
Hats and wraps were brought. As
they were being put on, Jane'a mother
asked again : "Are yon sure you must
go before supper?"
"Yes, thank "you ; jye must go," re
plied Ruth. . - -
Marjorte seemed to have a different
opinion, and said to her sister: ,''We
don't have to o. Mother said we
could stay to supper if she asked M

English Woman's Ten Names
fhe petitioner in a case before the
London dlvprce court was imposingly
described as Mrs, A. B. fi. I. H. Ji.

When asked by counsel to announce

"Well, that will do," said the preslr

Days of "Iron Horse'
Before the Civil war, flatboating was
common along the Ohio river. When
autumn came, it was an every-day oc
currence to see boats loaded with prod
uce passing by. Thercwould l)e ap
ples from Letart and Rome on the
upper Ohio ;, 'cabbage, potatoes, . salt
and coal, all going to the cotton and
sugar plantations below Memphis and
Red river, prior to the Civil war, coal
was boated the same us "other products
to the lower river. After that period,
coal began to be carried lu barges
drawn by towboats. Twenty, thirty,
forty and fifty years ago, Immense
tows of coal were brought out from
Pittsburgh whenever the Ohio was suf
ficiently high. Those were the days
of "Secoud Pol,V and "Fourth Pool"
Yohoguny coal, and millions of bush
els were brought down the river by
these powerful towboats.
After the war, the flatboatlng In
terests gradually gave way to the rail
way. More afld more the railways
opened up the country until flatboat
lng became a losing business and was
finally abandoned. The country west
of the Mississippi became settled. The
produce raised there vns delivered to
the railway by the Southern markets
more quickly and more cheaply than It
could be delivered by the boatmen.
The lower Mississippi, which was once
known as n paradise both for the
steamboat mini and the ilntboat man,
has almost lost ils reputation of old
days. The days of the big cotton and
passenger . steamboats, and of the
broadhorn ami its Jolly crew have
gone forever, as have the red man and
the buffalo. Indianapolis Star.
Historic Timekeeper
Four-hundred years ago n church
clock was made at Wantage (the birth
place of King Alfred the Great),- In
Kngland, and placed In the church
tower of East Hendred. It played
every three hours the "Angel's Hymn,"
and went on- ticking out the time' for
400 years, thus placing all grand
father's clocks in the shade. East
Hundred's timepiece had recently to
!e stopped--, for repairs. When these
have been, satisfactorily completed it
Is not anticipated that the church
.jlock will need further expert atten
tion until- the year 2320.

Spot Made Famous by
Genius of Alexander
The site of the "most -brilliant 'coup
of Alexander: the Great's campaign in
India has .been located by the emi
nent archeologist. Sir Aurel Stein, ac
cording to dispatches received, hi this
country.
In 'a section" pf the hills of. 'Upper
Swat knowu as Torwul, near the
northern frontier, Sir' Aurel believes
that he has identified tne site of the
fortress of Aornos, captured from thu
warlike hill tribes by! Alexander In .'S27
15. C. According to th classical his
torians tjie stronghold was perched on
a ruck over the river Indus and had
even resisted the attacks of the legen
dary Hercules. ;"
The particular features of the rough
and rocky regions which suggested
this site are said to agree more' close
ly with the upepunt of' U(e (Jreok 'his
torian Arrian than a previous tenta
tive location at Mahaban. The stra
tegic value of this hill country has
been appreciated and utilized by petty
chieftains down to the present day,
and-it ls only recently that conditions
have been sufficiently settled to allow
urchcological exploration. J ;.
