FIND REMAINS OF - PETER THE HERMIT 2 Skeleton in Tomb at Amiens - Believed to Be His. Renovation of a part of the tlooring of the cathedral of Amiens in the north of France revealed an extensive marble tomb, where a _skeleton reposed which is thought te be none other than that of Peter the Hermit or Pierre of Amiens, the monk who went around in a mantle of camel hairs .to ‘preach the first Crusade, Pierre Van Paassen reports in the Atlanta Constitution. The wvenerabte Peter’s feet were still shod in a pair of fine Arabian slippers, though his phenomenal’ mantle, alas,, had absolutely decayed. By his side stood a pair” of solid gold vessels, no doubt part of the spoil that the Knights of the Cross had brought away with them from the Near East, like the golden Damiates still hanging from the ceiling of’ the great St. Bavon cathedral in Haarlem, Holland. For every nation did its share to rob the unbelieving Turks and. Saracens in those stirring days. The figure of Peter the Hermit has always been a romantic and adveifiturous one to this writer. Together with the rector of Amiens cathedral he once de. voted a long period to research and examination of manuscripts in bad Latin which had bearing on the tempestuous career of the hermit. Standing in what is now the quiet little town of Amiens, one can picture the electric enthusiasm that must have reigned here more. than a thousand years ‘ago when a man dressed like John the Baptist went through the streets at the head of his medieval mixture of French and Latin: “Deus le Veult” (God wills it). Peter went
to Rome and ohtained from the pope the remarkable concession that every serf who would join a Crusade would be a freenran upon return, one of the greatest revolutionary acts of the Dark ages, » S
. His preaching, that sometimes *“bordered on hysterical screeching,” according to a contemporary scrivener, still was so powerful a stimulant of the emotions that noblemen- upon hearing him tore their cloaks in strips and fastened them in the form ot a cross on their breasts. The Holy land was to be reconquered. The Turk, against whose depredations in Christendom provision was made in the litany of the Latin church, was to be exterminated and the holy places were to bel wrested from the hands of the unspeakable Moslem. It was a simple monk who started this movement which sent tens of thousands of their death during the two following centuries and which at one time emptied the thrones of Europe, even as it was a simple monk who was the originator of another great revolution in European life in the Sixteenth century.
Wembley Comedy
One of the hundred thousand things to see at Wembley is an exhibit representing a grocer's sflop in -which cheese, oatmeal, bread, sugar, and so on, are lying about with no ‘wrapping. Dummy rats, mice, and other small beasties are shown eating up the good things, and it is explained that this. proves how important it is that food should be made up in properly packed parcels before being exposed for sale.
.But there are real rats and mice at Wembley, and one night they discovered the unwrapped food and did what the dummy rats were pretending to do—ate it all up, so that in the morning there was not a scrap left. They drove home the moral, all right, but at rather too heavy a cost for repetition every day.—Family Herald.
Women’s Rights in Siberia
-After 18 years of obedient married life with a well-to-do peasant of Chernokorov Nikovo, Mrs. Doria Kuboreva, absorbed the Soviet doctrine of woman’s rights and began taking part in village politics. Her husband’s beatings failed to discourage her and she was elected a member of the village Soviet. . When she warned her husband that he must pay his taxes, he stabbed her with a knife. ‘“The proletariat court will punish with great severity,” adds the Siberian correspondent, who reported the incident. Kuboreva cannot be given more than ten years’ imprisonment, as a single murder without robbery is not a capital crime in Russia. :
Man-Made Hurricane
To drive out the poisonous carbon monoxide produced by 46,000 autos that will pass daily through the new vehicular tunnel nearing completion beneath the Hudson river, a tearing hurricane will whirl constantly through the tube, says Popular Science Monthly. A unique system of ventiiation approved recently solves the last important engineering problem of the great tunnel. Immense electric fans will drive a 75-mile gale through a seven-foot airway under the trafiic road.
Vast Supply of Potash
A thousand years’ supply of potash for the American farmer, making us independent of supplies from Chile and other foreign countries, is possible as a result of a discovery of a new process for making potassiuin sulphate from greensand. --Large quantities of this peculiar type of sandstone are found in Delaware, New Jersey, and Maryland near the surface so that it can be worked with steam shovels,— Popular -Science Monthly.

PAY HIGH FRICES - FOR “HCRN BOOKS” Colleciors Prize Oldtime School Equipment. It is no longer. sufficient, in the worid of today, to have acquired the “three R’'s”—reading, writing and rithmetic. The simple old dame's school of a hundred yvears ago seems never to have been possible, ; Another great difference is in the school equipment. In the o¢ld davs pen, ink and paper were scarce, blackboards ‘and chalk. were unheard of, and even slates und slate pencils were luxuries.. How, "then, were the children taught their letters, or initiated into the, mysteries of even the simplest sums? | 4 R
At the earliest period they learned from a “Horn Book.” What was this now-forgetten thing? Is there today anyone familiar with the dppearance of a horn book? None. Collectors prize them, for they are extl?eluel‘\" rare, though once they were alniost as common as railway or street car tickets are now. 3 fon
A horn book consisted of a flat piece of wood of about one-eighth of #n inch thickness, and of some three and onehalf inches to six inches in length, and about two-thirds of these measurements in breadth. It was provided with a handle, by which the child held it. On this flat plece of wood, commonly oak, was placed a printed piece of paper, generally bearing the alphabet and the Lord’'s prayer, and sometimes the numerals as well.
The paper was kept in position and guarded from injury by being placed under a thin, transparent sheet of horn, secured by a hrass edging. Henee “horn book.” In the elder kind the type used was of the Gethic, “hlackletter” Old Englishesort. The carliest known horn book dates back to ahout 1450, : . : :
With' the growing use of paper amii print, c¢hap books and small x-.rimers,! the vogue of the horn book declined; and it went entirely out of use-at Hnel opening of the Nineteenth: century. The last order for a stock of tl.ese articles was given by a firm of Knglish statloners in 1799; and as tle then old-fashioned things proved unsalable, the unwanted stock was destroyed some years later. e Horn books are now so rare that high prices are given by collectors for genuine specimens. When, in 1877, the Caxton exhibition of ;»riming] antiquities was held, only four specimens of horn books were shown ; :zndl at another exhibition held ia 1882, only eight, . - " Nao. 21leose Sir Henry Wood, the London mnsician; said to a New York repoiter: “Most of our modern English music is excellent, but some of it makes me feel as merciless as De Reszke. “Two amateur tenors once visited Edouard De Reszke at his beautiftul Nice villa. 'They said they had a bet on as to which of them was the better singer, and they wanted De Reszke to decide, .7 - “Well, he.listened to them both, and then he said to the one who Lad sung first: Chue i ? v “‘You are the worst' singer in the world.” . : - “‘Hurrah! I win, then, said the second. : o : “*No,” said De Reszke, ‘for you can’t sing at all.’™
Esperanto Spreading
A summer university in psvyvchology, languages and international law, with Esperanto as.the language of instruction, was conducted this summer in Geneva in connection with the seventeenth universal KEsperanto congress meeting there—the first time in history that an artificial language has been used in that way. Esperantists from many parts of the world attended the congress, the culmingtion of various natlonal congresses previously held in the' most important Kuropean countries, in America and Japan. Almost every civilized country now issues a publication in. Esperanto and the national "language, and about eighteen magazines are published in Esperanto only.“' o '

British Honored Sons . . of Benedict Arnold
Very little has been written of Arnold outside of his traitorous conduct in connection with the attempted surrender of West Point to the British, says the Dearborn Independent. Through a correspondence with Major Andre, Arnold, then commanding West Point, offered to surrender to the British; and to consummate the plan Arnold and Andre met at midnight on the shore of the Hudson September 21, 1780. - The capture of Andre frustrated the scheme, and Arhold fled to: the British sloop of war Vulture. ‘The British made him brigadier generul and he fought the American army at Richmond, Portsmouth and New London, Conn. In December, 1781, he sailed for England with his family, who were pensioned by the British government. He received about $31,755 for his alleged losses in deserting the Americans. Failing to get a position in the army he was forced to take up the trade of merchant. He carried on trade with the West Indies, but returned to London in 1791. :
-War between France and England exposed his shipping to great risks and Arnold on one occasion was captured by a French - ship, but managed to escape. The British government still refused to give him active service in the army and he turned his attenticn to fitting’ out privateers against France to recover his lost fortune, but being ul{su(-cessful, weighed down by private debts, and despised by America and the Dritish empire, he sank into a state of acute melancholy, and died June 14, 1801, regretting, it is said, his treason. . :
© His first wife gave birth to three sons. His eldest sons received comwissions ‘in “the British army; and his second son by his second marriage, inheriting his father's daring and militavy ability, rose to be a lieutenant. general, was made aid de camp to King William IV and was created a knight. Arnold’s other: children held honorable - positions, and one of his grandsens, Capt. William - Traill Arrold, a brave fighting man, was Kkilled in the Crimean war. . i
Seek Lost Italian City A lost city, sunk in the bay of Naples, 2,500 feet below the surface of the water, is the treasure that will be sought by Hans Hartman, an Ameérican «deep-sea diver, according to the Ilonie newspaper, Risorgimento. Diving apparatus, constructed according to Hartman’s designs by the Krupp works at Essen, is said to be capable of resisting the enormous pressure of the water at a depth of 12,000 feet. A special oxygen-generating device will permit two occupants of the machine to live for 36 hours, and a special mo-tor-driven propeller will send it to the surface in case the cable breaks. No human diver has previously explored more than 300 feet beneath the surface, gccording to Hartman, who believes that in future centuries men will derive much of their fuel -and ¢ven their - food: from - submarine sgurces. o Z
“Log Cuffing” | ‘The . “log-cufling” contest is an annual event which takes place among the lumberjacks of the Northwest and the last one took place at Washburn, Wis., when the champion of 1924 went down. 1 : : Seven men contested and five of them were Indians. The men endeavored to see which could balance himself for the longest time on a log floating freely in a body of water. It narrowed down to a contest between Joe: Mad-Way-Osh, the former champion, and Anton De Fore, and the former fell from his perch after 22 minutes. ‘l'his contest has nothing in common with another which is practiced in the same country where two men perched upon the opposite ends of the same log endeavor to upset the other. : _ New Weed Killer Those who dislike having garden paths overgrown with unsightly weeds will welcome details of a recent German patent. Certain benzine derivatives, known as the sulphonamides ara either powdered onto the weeds, or else dissolved in water and sprayed on them. The most potent of these compounds recommended by the patent are the sodium and calcium paratoluene sulphonamides. By the sound of it; it should Kkill any weed. The compounds, it is said, may be added to the gravel before laying the pathg in order to prevent any weeds from growing. S : Record Relationships
The record gap between grandfather and grandson is believed to have been a young earl whom Queen Victoria learned was 129 years younger than his grandfather. The grandfather had remained a baehelor until sixty years old, and the boy, the son of a second marriage, was born when his father was sixty-nine years old. The young marguis of Donegal is about eightyvears younger than his father, being the son of a third or fourth wife. He may establish a new record in this regard. : : Fifty-Fifty ' Will—What're you doin’ now, Bill? ~ Bill—Runnin’ a.tractor for old Jasper Higgins.
