RUINS OF MISSIONS FOUND IN GEORGIA Were Built of Mixture of Seathella and Lime. Brunswick, Gn. —Old ruins which generally have been known to residents of this section ns abandoned sugar mills and English colonial stables now have been revealed nt enrly Seventeenth century Spanish missions. Some of the ruins antedate those of the Spaniards In California, having been established during the period 1550 to 1088 by monks who followed the eirly explorers of Spain, They sot up a chain of missions along the South Atlantic const, from St. Georges Island, S. C., to St. Augustine, Fla, Then came the English and the long series of maneuverings which resulted In the Spaniards being driven hnck into the present confines of Florida. General Oglethorpe, founder of the colony of Georgia, used Scot soldiers In the campaigns and many of them settled in the country. The colonists attempted to draw a veil over the early Spanish colonization here. Spanish missions built of tabby—a mixture of senshells and shell lime— Immediately were converted into stables and later were turned Into sugar mills. Children grew up to know the structures only by their utilitarian uses. In recent years historical societies and individuals have financed an extensive search of archives In Madrid. Seville and Havana, I lie result 'being the charting of the entire chain of missions and revealing a romantic history long hidden. The largest of the tnhby ruins Is that of the mission of San Domingo del Talaje, at Elizafield, on the estate owned by William du Pont. In the ruins of the mission of Tolomnto, near Darien, Ga„ traces of a fortress, dungeon and other structures have been found. Small White Ants Cost U. S. $20,000,000 Yearly Urbana, Dl.—Small white ants with a ravenous appetite for any kind of wood are causing the country a $20.000.000 yearly loss, says 11. Carl Oesteriing of the Illinois State Natural surveys. Termites is the scientific name for the Insects, and Oesterling said their spread hns been most rapid In the last quarter of a century. The survey has devoted several years of study to methods of eradicating termites by use of various disinfectants, but Is not ready to announce Its findings. Termites get Into the supports of buildings and chew their way along, unknown and unnoticed. until the wood Is weakened. As an example of the widespread Infestation of termites, Oesterllng said his Investigation showed that 50 per cent of the buildings in Pasadena. Calif., were Infested, and that 80 per cent <>f buildings In New Orleans were damaged to some extent. Contrary to mo.A beliefs, the Insects were introduced Into central- Europe from this Country about a century ago. Oesterling said. One remedy Is to construct buildings so that no untreated wood comes In contact with the earth.

Soviet Changes Even Chess of Royalties Flelslngf'.rs.— News from Moscow that the soviets have changed the mimes of the king nnd queen pieces In chess because of the government's objection to terms of sovereigns hai aroused curiosity among chess players here as to what the royal ‘‘men’’ aro to be called in future. In abolishing the chess titles It is recalled that some years ago the name of the queen bee also was abolished, a Russian word meaning quite the contrary being substituted. -- Chess Is one of the world's oldest games, John de Vlgney assigning Its invention to a Babylonian philosopher. Xerxes. Others have attributed It to Chilo, one cf the seven sages of Greece. Gibbon believed the Indians conceived the game, and that Persia • perfected It. Earlier dates have been suggested, however, by the deplctlor of chess In the painting of the ancient Egyptians and the descriptions of It In the Chinese books of wisdom. Seek Buried Gold Buffalo, N.
