Old Legends Tell of = Men Who Lived Long

A belief in the longevity of the human race, at an’ early period of the world, was the natural product of the feeling of the ancients that they were superior to each other, as well as to a desire to live as long as possible. In every religion of every period there have been men who lived for almost unknown ages. '

In the Hebrew books Me\hnseluh lived for about a thousand yeuars, but his years ar€ tame and insignificant when compared to some of the ancients. *On this subject the "Hebrews’ imagination failed miserably when compared to the imaginings of the Hindus.. _ We find in the Hindu bibles bold statements that during .the early periods of the earth the average life of man was 80,000 years, and that Holy men often lived for a hundred thousand years.

Of one king whose name was Yud‘hishtmr, it is carelessly remarked that his years were only 27,000, while another king named Alarka reigned only 66,000 years, both being cut off before their prime, because at that period many men were living to be about a million years old. The most remarkable case in Indian history was a saintly old fellow who lived in such a pure and virtuous way that his days upon this earth were indeed many. :

He was two million years old when he first became king and he reigned 6,300,000 years before he abdicated, after which he lingered for one hundred and some odd years before becoming the first saint of which we know. ; He went to heaven from thq top of a mountain named Ashtapada in a fiery cloud. : French Cling to Customs It may be claimed that French institutions are progressive, but the French people remain conservative and faithful to old traditions. Customs that have existed. for centuries are stiil followed in various parts of France. Even cosmopolitan Paris maintnins some of its ancient customs., Strangers who walk or ride in early morning through the Rue' Turbigo, in the heart of Paris, are surprised to see hundreds of young women awaiting employment. In the Thirteenth century during the reign of Saint Louis, - Paris authorities granted special permission “to all needy-women who are respectable and trustworthy and want to do the laundry of the burghers to gather on the TRue Turbigo and hire themselves out for the day, week or month.” ' The square from which two. city officials used to “look out that no dishonest women intrude and cast suspicion upon the good ones” still exists, and for some unknown reason is called the “square of the bear.” KEven now, as they did 900 years ago, employers go to the Rue Turbigo to employ washerwomen. But now traffic necessities compel the women to be away from the street after nine o’clock in the morning.

Find Rich Relics in Japan

What is believed to be a remarkable archeological find has been made in Tango province, just north of Kyoto, in the shape of a great stone chest 6 feet high, 7 feet wide and 16 feet in length.. In it there reposed five ancient sword blades, five neck decorations and six magatama, or royal beads, besides. many fragnients of earthenware, the New York World says. : ;

The age of these relics is said to be about 1,000 years and there are indications that they date back to the reign of Emperor Go-Shirakawa. and possibly may be even connected with that. ruler. He built a temple in that vicinity, and the magatama are one of the three sacred emblems or treasures, the others being the swords and mirror, which are passed on at a ruler’s death. :

Schwab’s Early Work

Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the Bethlehem | Steel company, claims. affiliation with the building industry not alone because his company fabricates a lot of the steel used in the construction of the skeleton of tall buildings, but because it was he who rolled the first steel beam to be used in building construction. He was then working in the Home-. stead plant for Mr. Carnegie. A shipment of 100,000 tons of steel beams in a year. was a tremendous output for a concern in those days, he said. The Bethlehem company now turns out that amount in a month. ' - Needs of the country today total 3,000,000 tons a year. -

River’s Left Bank

The left bank of any river is that which is left to a person facing downstream. You hear so much about the Rhine'’s left bank because of its mili.tary. and political significance. For more than a hundred miles north from the Swiss border the Rhine divides Baden from France, and the left bank is French. Below this stretch, the left bank is the hostage held by the allied armies of occupation to guarantee German obedience to the peace terms. = ‘

DEFENSE WEAPON ' IS THEIR COLOR How Some Animals Are Protected From Enemies. To compare the speed, agility and craftiness of the coyote or the mountain lion with the young sheep or the fawn of-the deer, is to wonder at the manner in which these almost defenseless little animals ever live-long enough to grow up. But are they defenseless? Not so defenseless as they look, observes the Kansas City Star. They are short on teeth, claws and ferocity, but in' common with many other animals which must depend on something other than fighting ability in order to exist they are long on the art of concealmkent. It is easy to see how the quail or the grouse, by crouching in the grass which it so closely resembles, can escape detection by the eye. To some animals, such as the snowshoe rabbits, nature has given a protection of color which changes as the color of the surroundings change. The mountain sheep is especially adept at concealment. Thede animals, living on treeless mountain peaks, closely resemble in color the gray rocks which surround them. A mother sheep, by placing the lamb in a hollow among the rocks and nosing a few pieces of loose rock over it, effectively evades most -enemies. -

A guide of the Rocky mountains told of having watched a ewe conceal her lamb by simply nosing a stick of wood across the little fellow as he lay on the rocks. A few minutes later a coyote passed that way with his nose to the ground, following the trall of the ewe. He never got a trace of scent at the place the lamb was' left, and passed within a few feet of it. This same man told of having seen coyotes pass close to fawns: in the same manner. He said that the mothers seem to have perfect confidence that the fawns would not be caught by coyotes, wandering away and leaving them apparently helpless in the woods. The case of the birds which are protected by coloration and that of the lambs, however, seems only to partly solve the problem, since some of their enemies hunt by scent. In the case of the lambs one enemy, the eagle, uses his eyes, while another, the coyote, uses his nose. What Is the protection of these creatures against the scenting enemies. It is well known that the quail can to a certain degree control its scent by tightly compressing its feathers in time of danger. And as to the sheep and the fawns, this woodsman, who has spent his life observing these animals, believes that until they become of a certain age they leave no scent. His instances of the coyotes passing so close to the hidden young of the deer and the sheep, things which he has witnessed, seem to prove this. : :

A Believer

Homer Hazel, twenty-nine years of age, with a wife and three children, is paying his way through Rutgers, where he is the star athlete and the most popular man. _ “I beliéve in hard work,” he said at a New Brunswick reception. “A big business man crossed the ocean one winter when times were hard’ in order to drum up some foreign orders, and one stormy evening in the smoking-room a soclety chap | said to him:

« sperrible time, terrible. And you, sir, like the rest of us, are hoping for better things, I suppose? “ ‘No, my friend,’ said the big business man. ‘No, 'm net hoping for better things. I've got my coat off and my sleeves rolled up, and by gosh, I''h working for them.”

Unhappy Isle of Corfu

_ Corfu, one of the loveliest of the isles of Greece, 'ls again in trouble. It has changed hands more than a ‘score of times and has had as many different owners. Known originally as Coreyra, it was the site of the first naval battle fought in the annals of Greece, the engagement taking place nearly 700 years before the birth of Christ. Since then it has figured in innumerable near eastern cities—an island which has been the cause of almost endless bloodshed. Pirates of old Illyria, Romans, French, Sicilians, :English, Italians, Corsairs, Turks and, of course, Greeks, have all had a hand in its affairs at some time or other. Great Britain ruled it for not quite fifty years, when it passed under Greek control at the wish of its inhabitants. Today its future is as uncertain as ‘ever it was.—Family Herald.

Buddha’s Dignity Restored

The Daibutsu, the colossal bronze Buddha of Kamakura, is once more seated In his ancient -position on. the lotus flower dais from which he was jolted a few feet in the great earthquake in Japan. For nearly a year work of restoration has been in progress. The huge casting, weighing 145 tons, was raiged from its pedestal and kept suspended while the base wasg rectified. Thereupon the image was lowered carefully into position.
