South American Gold 3 in Solomon’s Temple? Ophir, 'and of rich gold mines that supplied metal for the decorations of King Solomon’s temple, was in South America, according to Dr. Yan Hauch of Vienna who has been exploring the forests of Peru. The fabled country has been the subject of speculation for years, and has been variously located in Arabla, India or South Africa, says a writer in Popular Mechanlcs Magazine. In support of his theory the Vienna explorer declares that he found an Indlan tribe of 300 whose features bore a Jewish cast and whose language contained migny words like those of the ancient Hebrew. -The name Solomon had been given to a number of men in the tribe, and legends were told him of a race of seafaring men who landed on the banks of the river Hualla and carried away quantities’ of gold ore. They called the reglon around the river Ophira. Dr. Von Hauch belleves that the strangers may have been King Solomon's sallors, and that the three years’.absence of his fleet mentioned In Biblical accounts is explalned by the long journey to Peru, Columbus belleved that he had found the source of Solomon's riches when he set foot on the West Indles. The African theory is based on the dlscovery of anclent mines among ruins south of the Zambesi river, and a Seventeenth century writing to the effect that one was the Abyssinian mine from which the queen of Sheba obtained most of the gold she gave King Solomon.
Masterpieces Lost to World Through Flames The world ils very much poorer today because so much classical literature of the early centuries has been lost. Aeschylus is said to have written from 70 to 90 dramas, but only seven, in a complete state, have been handed down to us. Only seven, too, of the 120 tragedies written by Sophocles are known, with, perhaps, 100 fragments of the others. Of the dramatic works of Euripides, which are said to have totaled 92, only 17 tragedies and a play, dealing with satyrs, also a few fragments of the other compositions, now remain. These losses, also of Greek lyrical works, are due to the destruction by fire of the two great libraries of Alexandria in 47 B. O. when the city was besiged by Julius Caesar. In this fire 700,000 volumes were destroyed.
Coffee’s “‘Discovery”
There are many stories as to who first discovered the food ‘value of coffee.” In Europe this important discovery is usually accredited to the inmates of an old monastery in Arabia who had observed that their goats after browsing upon the coffee berries were decldedly lively. They decided to taste the berrles to see if they, tco, would be similarly affected. irirst they chewed the berries but wers dis | appointed in the taste. Ther they' hofled them but without success 'Then they tried roasting them and found this gave a delightful flavor. Later & monk brewed a stimulating dmuk by | pounding the roasted berries in nl mortar.
Sugar From Dabhlias
A pew dahlia and artichoke industry promises new life for domestic sugar manufacturers, according to Science. At present huge beet-sugar plants are lying ldle two-thirds of the year for lack of raw material. It is now expected that after producing beet sugar in the summer the plants will run four months on artichoke, followed by four months on dahlia tubers to produce large quantities of the new levulose sugar. At present levulose ils prepared only as a sirup or moist, powder-like brown sugar, but the prub. lems of crystallization are rapidly being solved commercially.
Modesty
The parents' had been trying for some time to impress a sense of modesty on four-year-old Betty. The following Incident caused them to reel that thelr efforts had not been wholly in vain.
‘Betty was seated on the floor, pluying with “dress up” paper dolls, when her grownup cousin breezed in. She started toward the child and was prepared to exclaim over the dolls, when she was halted by a frown of disapproval. “Don’'t look,” scolded the youngster. “Can’'t you see they'rq dressing?” .
- In Airtight Bags : ~ Observations were made ‘at the Na. tlonal Academy of Sclences In Wash- ~ ington recently on five subjects (threa - men and two women) placed in an airtight bag through which a stream of heated, dry air (about 85 degrees centigrade) was passed. Loss of welght was five to thirteen times greater than normal, oxygen consumption increased slightly, while skin temperature was fairly uniform and only one degree or so above normal, owing to the cooling effect of perspiration. / Bran Valuable Food . Bran, the dark, fibrous portion of wheat, is less completely digested than the rest of the kernel, As bran ls sold commercially it has some food value from the starch as well as from the minerals and vitamins associated with the fibrous parts, but it {s used chiefly for its laxative propertles. In moderate quantities, and especlally as it comes ground up in graham flour, it is usually considered to be a desirable addition to the diet.

Tribe Claims Descent ~ Directly From Adam In the Mosul area, between Turkey and Irak, the League of Nations’ investigating commission .studled a strange devil-worshiping people called the Yedizi. The religion of these people is extraordinary. From God, they belleve, amanated seven spirits—the first satan; the second, Jesus Christ. In their belief God created the world throwgh satan and leased it to him for 10,000 years, 6,000 of which have elapsed. Their name for satan s Melek Taus, whom they worship in the form of a bronze peacock. They have a temple on whose walls are painted sun, moon, stars and a great black serpent. There every year they sacrifice a white bull. For the rest, their religlon .is conglomerate. They adore equally the Old and New Testament and the Koran, Jesus and Mohammed. The sign of the cross is holy to them, but so are Mecca, and verses from the Koran.. They Believe in the transmigration of souls and in the divinity of fire. They live in complete isblation. Their origin ils obscure. They speak Kurdish, but look like the types of old Assyrian monuments. They claim to be different from all other peoples, and more ancient. Others, they say, are descended from Adam and Eve, whereas they are descended from Adam alone.
Big Game Vanishing _ From Belgian Congo It is reported that 30,000 male elephants are being killed every year in the Belgian Congo, and the native custom of elephant trapping has resulted in the death of a large number of female and young elephants without tusks and therefore useless for the fvory -market. Natives were leaving agricultural work in order to look after elephant traps, which captured, of course, all classes of elephdnts and not merely ivory bearers. As a result the whole breed is being reduced, the average weight of tusks being eight pounds ‘less today than before the World war. Hippopotami and rhinoceroses, gorillas and antelopes were also fast disappearing from certain districts, while certain ‘varieties of small and g§y~plumaged birds formerly plentiful in the Congo are now seldom seen except on women’s hats. More severe enforcement of existing hunting regulations and the taking of new and stronger measures for the preservation of big game by marking out forest reserves where hunting would be forbidden, is being advocated.
High-Grade Kangaroos
The most intelligent variety of kangaroos live in trees and are found only in north -Australia, according to & writer in the Sydney Bulletin. “Scientists say the ’'roos came from Asia, then conneeted with Australia,” says he. “The tree-climbing ’roo boards in north Australia only and is exceedingly intellectual, having developed the art of thoroughly and prettily clothing himself. He understands the benefit of living in little communities and intelligently chattering about the weather, and is so physlcally developed that he can live in trees better than on the ground.” .
Hung On to Good Thing
A young Scotsman took his lass to a high-class motion picture theater in London. It was in the afternoon, and presently an attendant came to them with tea and cake on a tray. ‘How much?’ the young man inquired cautiously. “There is no charge,” answered the attendant. In silent won-
der the youth and his lass sipped their tea and munched their cake. Two hours later, after they had witnessed a performance, the girl whispered, “We must be geoing. It's past six o'clock.” “Not me, lass,” he replied. “You can go if you like, but I'm staying to supper.”
Cause for Rejoicing
That optimists see only the cheerful slde of events because it is their nature to do so, and not because they are the beneficlaries of constant good fortune, was illustrated by a mishap that befell a man noted for his buoyant spirits. A friend, calling at his office, found him laughing heartily. At his feet lay the fragments of a mirror, which he explained, he had just broken accidentally. “But why are you so merry about it?” the friend Inquired. “Why don't you see” laughed the optimist; “it limits my bad luck to seven years,”- .
Studies by physicians and scientists in England reported at the congress of the Royal Institute of Public Health, held at Brighton, England, Indicate that sunligh., “either natural or artificlal, when properly administered, may have a definitely beneficial effect on mental activity.” It was found that children handicapned in school work by illness, when cured with the ald of sunlight caught up with and even outdistanced their classmates.
Cast Iron and Steel
To know the proper definition of - everyday substances is sometimes very useful in argument. The latest for steel and cast iron are given us by a Japavese chemist in the Imperial Uni versity of Tohoku. Steel he defines a 8 “an iron-carbon alloy with a con tent of caroon lying between 0.035 and 1.7 per cent.” Cast fron is similarly “an iron-carbon alloy” but with a carbon content of “between 1.7 and 6.7 per cent.” g S i : S l‘wm. ¥ ~ Mrs. Milo Renner is recovering from a pevere attack of quinsey and flu 0 —_—— Does the world ever forgive a man with prison record See Thomas Meighan in “The Man Who Found Himself at Crystal Friday and Saturday. 3
