N v A el ol | 4 UGIENT CITY HAD BAR ROOMS Discoveries in' Pompeli Prove That the . Serving of Drinks Was a Rec- : ognized- Occupation. Three score vears after the birth of Christ the busy and beautiful little/ ‘eity of Pompeii, overlooking the By of Naples, with its 20,000 inhabitants, was dramatically blotted out of existence by an eruption of the long‘dormant Vesuvius, and for 17 cen‘turies lay unknown beneath a thick 'shrond of volcanic refuse, remarks the Toronto Mail and Empire. About tthe middle of the Eighteenth century ‘the grave of the dead city was accldentally discovered and subsequent excavations have slowly revealed the ‘rare treasures of a departed civillzation. New excavations were begun in 1911, but with the great war of 1914 the world had something more important to think about than Pompefi. NXevertheless, the antiquarians cdntinued quietly digging and discovering fresh wonders. A .few weeks ago the London Times cnrrespnndent'in Rnfinev wrote ‘an. interesting description ‘of .the latest findings, among them being a great freésco, with painting. of the 12 penafes (custodians) of the city— Jupiter, Juno, Mars, Minerva, Hercules, Venus, - Mercury, Proserpine, Vulean, Ceres, Apollo and Diana. | . Bat to the people of North America the most absorbing discovery will be that of a bar, or thermopolium, where drinks were served out to parched Pompeiians.. There were many terracotta amphorae found—and an amphora, gentle reader, IS a sort of glorified “schooner.” At the end of the bar was a small furnace and a caldron with a lid for mixing swhat Mr. Dooley termed “hot wans.” Within the- caldron the excavators found the remains of some of the liquid used. - WOCRLD’S DEBT TO COLUMBUS .Expansionfof Europe and Remaking of ¢ the Eaith Followed Explorer's ‘ Wpnderful Voyage. Few people~realize how thinly great regions were peopled four centurles ago, or how many Europeans are living outside of Europe today. The United States, Canada and Argernting contain twice as much land as the home continent. When white settlement began, the land now comprised in the United States may have contained 400,000 Indians—that is the highest estimate, Possibly the other two countries con.tained as many, an average of population of one person to nine square miles. Australia, with 3,000,000 square miles, held not more than 100,000 persons. S |

Today, those four countries support a white population of about 125,000, 000. The Lot regions between the Rio Grande and La Plata hold several millions more. Europe has spread over half the globe, while Asla has shrunk well within her own bhorders—and all this change dates from and depends upon that voyage of Columbus, : White men crossed the Atlantic before Columbus, but they left no trace of their voyage on this side. It 1s passing strange that not even European domestic animals were left here —the Norsemen had cattle. -whose bellowing frightened the natives. Not till Columbusvpointed the way did the expansion of Europe ‘begin, or the wor.d become truly one world instead of many. -

Effective Fog Signals. In a heavy fog there js danger of coillsion beiween ships because the uniform siznals used merely indicate their presence, and tell nothing of their course or direction. A sea captain of long experience has now devised a system which overcomes this difficulty, says Popular Mechanics Meagazine. Four signal horns of different tones are used, two sirens, a shrill whistle, and a steam gong, all of which are operated by foot levers. Each -of these corresponds to one quadrant of the compass, and is operated only when the ship’s course lies In that general direction. The four divisions of the quadrant itself are Indicated by varying the signals, -as, for example, one long blast, a long and short, a long and two. short, and two long. A recording mechanism is connected to the signal equipment and serves as evidence In case of subsequent question as to the handling of the ship. £ e z

Old Regiment to Be Disbanded. The Rightieth Carnatics is one of the pre-war units which has been ordered to dishand. - The regiment was raised at Tanjore in 1777; for the first 40 years of its career it was almost continuous In active service, and among the trophies in the officers’ ~mess is the black marble cup belonging to Tippu, the sultan, from whose palace the Carnatics took the cup at the storming of S‘erpingapatam,‘ in 1799. The cup I 8 being offered by the regiment to the British museum.

I ' No Spectal Time for Thought. . When is the best time to think,. to have truth enter our minds? Thought alonz a particular line can best come . when the mind is unwearied and un- - occupied with other thought—the time - of day has nothing to do with it. The tired 12ind or the mind already active is not in condition to think. Often you have tried to read a book and been unable.to follow the thought of the writer. Either your mind was tired or other vexing or more interest- - Ing thought held the ground. Have the mind untired and undisturbed and you can think at one time as well as another.—Exchange. Laboratory for Tribal Study. Northern Rhodesia still is the happy hunting ground for the human geographer; where he may study the effects of a plateau region upon remote ‘tribes that have been little affected by the encroachments of the white man.

MANY THINGS USED AS MONEY

Cattie, Shells and Whales’ Teeth Among a Few That Are Reckoned as Currency. :

When hunting was the chief occupation of man the skins of animals were the earliest means of currency, and this medium of exchange is still used by the North American Indians. : Leather money was the natural successor to skins, and was used freely In Rome and Carthage, as well as being circulated in Russia as late as the reign of Peter the Great. :

" As civilization advanced sheep and cattle came to be regarded as the most negotiable form of wealth, and many of our ‘words in commopn use are historic reminders of the fact. -

‘For example, ‘pecuniary’ reminds us of the Latin “pecunia,” meaning money, and “pecus,” signifying cattle; whereas the word “fee,” a sum of money pald as wages, 1s derived from the Saxon “feoh,” a word used to express both cattle and money. By an old German code of laws sheep and cattle were counted by the head, and were called “capitale,” showing the source of our commercial word, “capital,” for wealth, the law term “chattel” (in “goods and chattels”), for effects, and our common name for oxen—*“cattle.”

' At the present time oxen form the principal wealth and circulating ,nzxedium among the Zulus and Kaffirs.

Year Without a Summer. The year 1816 was the year without a summer. In that year the sun spots were at a maximum. b 0l records say that the opening months of this anomalous year—January and February—were mild, but March turned cold. April started out warm, but before it ended the fields in the northern United States were stiffened with frost and whitened with snow. The cold continued throughout May, ice forming an inch thick, and repeated plantings of seed being successively destroyed, until farmers gave up in despair. June gave no relief, fce continuing to be formed on the streams and-ponds and.snow to be sprinkled over the fields. “Almost every green thing was killed; fruit nearly all destroyed; snow fell to the depth of ten inches in Vermont, seven in Maine, three in the interior of Now York and also in Massachusetts.”
