nt Bath, England, where he received Ids education, insists that Jonah was not swallowed by the whale and that the story forms no part of the real

Bible.

The Bible, mighty In Itself, said Doctor Moulton, had passed through the hands of commentators who hud no knowledge, no understanding of literature. and who reduced It to a form which had little or no likeness to the real Bible. One of these numerous commentators had written into that most spiritual and beautiful hook of Jonah the narrative of the whale, the only effect being one of distortion and disfigurement. In actual fact the story, asserted Doctor Moulton, hud been originally In the form of a mere footnote comment in manuscript, but by some blunder, due to careless, slipshod printing from which the Bible suffered more than any other book in the world, the fable of the whale had been Included in the general text. And In this way had It come down through the ages to the modern world as pure comedy, or. what was worse, ribald satire.

A table of standard weights, with mortality statistics, presented to n convention of actuaries In Edinburgh, showed that lightweight persons have a considerably longer life ns a rule. The statistics were constructed from the records of 18,0(»0 healthy men In

using our •'>0c| the British Isles, insured between 1881

and 1915. Other statistics were offgged showing that the average German and Austrian was nearly fourteen pounds heavier than the average Briton, Canadian or American, judging by Insur-

ance records.

“To many in the world,” said Mr. Orr, “one of the few benefits of the war was the result of food rationing, which reduced their girtli and extended their prospects of longevity."

When the talk turn.; from politics to railroads, and the traveler with the cocksure air breaks in with, “TheD-'j an awful lot of ‘water’ in the railroads,” here are some hard-pan facts to give him: American railroads have cost ,60,900 a mile roadbed, structures, stations, yards, terminals, freight and passenger trains everything from the great city t- nninals to the last spike.

Found Ancient Fort. The fort built in Texas by the lost colony of the explorer. La Salle, was not located on the Le Vacn river, as has been R'onimonly believed, but was further west on the Garcia river. Dr. Herbert K. Bolton, history professor at the University of California announced recently. Doctor Bolton, while doing research work, found n map which confirmed a theory he had developed that the colony was not located on the La Yaca. He went to the spot Indicated and found the remains of the old fort. It was ninety feet square with wall* two and a half feet thick with red adobe bricks. The ruins were almost completely hurled.

Our railroads couldn 't be duplicated today for $150,000 a mile. They arc capitalized for only $7i.000 a mile — much less than their actual value. Seventy-one thousand dollars lociav will buy one locomotive, English railways are capitalized at $/! 74.000 a mile; the French at $155,000: German $132,000; even in Canada still in pioneer development) they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average for all foreign countries is $100,000. Low capitalization and high operating etticiency have enabled American railroads to pay the highest wages while charging the lowest rates. tffiis advertisement is published by the dissociation of d/lailway executives 'J tuirr desiring ii(/urmation coturruing the rmlrouJ situation May obtain literature by writing to The Assuoiution qf Hailwuy executives, til Uroadvay, Xev York

Depopulated Nebraska Town. Forty years ago, Just ns the city of Lowell, Nob., which was then nt (lie end of the railroad and had fi.iklO Inhabitants. was about to lose Its Importance because of the extension of the railroad, a shopkeeper had the poor Judgment to lay In u complete stock of go<sl«. The stock Is still there, for the disgusted owner shut up the store and has never since opened It fur business. Lowell now Is populated by fewer than thirty persons.

One Exception. (Misltlon iu life

ruost curious practice that has come from thg far-off time of the druids and had flourished from then without a break until the year 1915. in Burghead, u little flshifig village on the Moray firth, this custom has been practiced from the very dawn of human society. It Is the strange ritual

of the burning of the clavle.

The clavle is made of a half barrel roughly put together and attached to a long pole by which It Is carried. A stone Is used to hammer In the wooden pegs that serve for nails, for it is considered as unlawful to allow Iron to touch the wood. Old tales tell how a Wicker basket with a fish Inside used to he burned. Perhaps, when the first druid lighted the first clavle. the sacrifice was something greater than a fish. Within more recent times neither basket nor fish appears, hut the clavle is filled with chips of wood anti shavings plentifully sprinkled with tar. The whole mass Is set on fire by mepns

of burning peat.

With an oilskin coat over his shoulders, the clavle hearer lifts Ids burning burden on his buck and sets off to the site of n Roman camp, a rocky promontory that thrusts itself out Into the sen. Here a stone pedestal has been erected to hold the fire. In this strange ritual druidlcnl and Christian customs are strangely interwoven. The lighting with peat is pagan and harks hack to the sacrificial fill's of Baal. The circling of the village sunward Is from the same source; to the druids, the sun was an Immediate object of worship. The use of wooden pegs rather than of Iron nails and the use of a stone instead of a hammer are Christian, for the early Christian would not use the iron with i which our Lord was nailed to the j

cross.

Why the custom lingered in quaint little Burghead we cannot tell. In 1915 the admiralty forbade the showing of all lights seaward, and the clavle was left unkindled. This year, however, this sole British survival of the worship of fire, the first of all religions nnd rituals, was rekindled.— Youth's Companion.

Wants One-Arm Music. Here's a letter from a musically Inclined one-armed vet to the Red Cross, says Stars and Stripes; “Now, although J ran practically make my left arm do the work of two. the old piano still has to he beaten. It Is still possible to play parts of melodics nnd even get in a bit of bass with a little cuteness, but there Is always something missing. “Personally, I am not clever enough to provide that ‘something.’ Others might. The left and right hands are wanted for the correct Interpretation of a piece, hut surely some enterprising music writer could provide all the melody and harmony required for the one-handed pianist? There are thousands of wounded men who would appreciate music w ritten for one liuud."

Wealthy Pauper. In a cheap lodging house In William street. New York, an aged man died, leaving a will showing that he was wealthy enough to' live in a hrowtisione mansion in Fifth avenue. He was Eduard Cainplun, aged sixty-flve. Why he chose tin* habitat of the “down-anil-outer” may remain u mystery. The house is one of those where the unfortunate can get "hath and bed” for 15 or 25 cents. In his will. Campion disposes of several vsduahlc parcels of Manhattan property, as well as real estate iu othr" sections. In addition to considerable cash, to two daughters and three sons. Possibly Not What He Meant. The farmer and his fair young cousin from the city were going round tin* farm together, and the farmer was rapidly failing beneath the spell of the town maiden’s eyes. Y'ott s«*e, she knew the way to do it. “Now, that's a pretty scene," he said, pausing beside the fence of a paddock in which u cow and a calf were nibbing noses together In bovine love. "The sight of it makes me want to do tlie same." "Well, go on,” said Ihe-sweet young thing placidly; “It’s your cow, you know.”
