DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY. JUNE 17. 1920.

ANCIEHT MARVEL OF EGYPT Labyrinth Constructed Some 3,500 Years Aqo Was a Structurs of Colossal Size. King Minos, with bls labyrinth on tho Island of Crete, is generally sup posod to have be. n the originator of I the maze Idea; but l-Yypt lias n lab.'.rlnth, too, and Egypt manages to hold the record for nntlipilty in almost everything, labyrinths included. ■ Thia Egyptian labyristh Is 3.600 years old. It ia merely a chaotic mass of rocks piled up in the desert a few miles out of Medlnet. The outlines of tho walls merge dimly here and there from the ruins, and from these outand the wvings on the stones. Egyptologists deduce fk.it the labyrinth was built by a certain King Labarys, who was more popularly known as Ameneinlmt HI. I The structure -was 500 by COO feet. It contained 3,000 rooms, half above ground, half below. Remember that I | the largest hole! In our present day world boasts about tluit number of I rooms on a dozen floors nnd covers a I city square, ayd sojne idea of the size of the two-story labyrinth cun be gained. Nobody has figured out yet why King Amenemhut built this enormous palace or toiub. In the lower story, history says, the sacred crocodiles and kings were buried, while tho upper door was, a few centuries after King Amenemhat’s time, used as a seat of l«v eminent. Tlie labyrinth - was a wonderful place, one of the most wonderful in Egypt, if our ideas of it are Correct, and its greatness was its downfall. Tlie citizens of a near-by town, who worshiped the ichneumon, resented he sacred crocodiles of the labyrinth. And so they made an attack upon one of King Amenemhat's successors and reduced largest structure in Egypt i to a ruin. LAND OF RACIAL TEMPESTS Dalmatia Has Been an Unquiet Spot in All the Years of Her Tragic History. Dalmatia, elongated so that it Is nowhere more than 35 miles wide, tapwring down to but a mile at Cattaro. I lias been swept .by continuous racial j tempests for the last eight centuries. Croats and Serbians constitute tlie Slavic element in Dalmatia, speakinglie same language, but employing two : iphahet.%. The Serbs use the Russian, and the Croats the Latin letters and alphabet.. The Latin influence is more previ nlent in the cities the story of Dal- ' atia being the- n-ason therefor. In i lie middle ages th ■ Dalmatians were .1 people Without the consciousness of jn country. During the Slav influx into Illyria the invaders encountered little ! except in the seaport towns. The Latin element in the cities resist- ’ -1 the migration and thus engendered She strife for supremacy which perL sists to this day, Much of the eatfy Dalmatian rivalry was economic, the tradesmen and , farmers naturtßly wishing to exchange ’heir goods with the Hungarians. The ' maritime cities preferred to do business with Venice, which controlled the ■ Adriatic. How Chinese Use Peach Stones. Women and children are to be seen in the markets of China picking up poach stones, which are put to several uses. Broken into pieces and dried in the sun. they furnish excellent material for fuel. Another profitable use of the peach stone is made by artists and engravers, who cane them into different forms of animals. Some of the larger stones, if round enough, are carved into finger rings. During the season mie may see in the interior of South China yards <>f poor people full of peach stones drying in the sun. After being cleaned, the small stones are used for fuel,. groups of small boys picking out the larger ones. The kernels are sometimes sold to tjhomists and druggists. They are preserved in bottles and used as cough medicine after the kernels are : turned ..Into white powder. This white powder is a very popular, convenient and cheap medicine for poor people in many villages as a remedy for coughs. Scientist Wai Fooled. A few years ago Doctor Emmons, a distingnisiusl American scientist, was convinced that ho had discovered it ••missing element” between gold and silver, which lie called “argentaurimi.” lie melted Mexican dollars in a crucible, dissolved the silver with nitric acid, and exhibited a residue of undeniable gold. Explanation lay in the fact that there was originally some gold in the silver out of which the dollars were minted. This is commonly tlie case (owing to imperfect metallurgical processes) with tlie older Mexican <-t»lns. Chinese Study Real Work. Even a Chinese pocket dictionary contains mote than 10.000 characters •epresenting words, and if a man intends really to master Chinese he must learn to recognize them all “a stupendous task,” HotVever, 3,(100. 1.000 or 5,000 syllables are all that a 'hinese of average education requires, :nd, if anyone will persevere until he t.ts thoroughly conquered a thousand, (ia will In- in a position to have some ippreciation of a novel and to master the difficulties of n simple business locument. But for the sincere student a thousand characters is the minimum.
