Alaska May Be Dubbed Original Ellis Island - It is now evident that America was originally peopled by immigrants from Asia and it is probable that Alaska was the first scene of human bistgr< on this continent.” Edward M. Weye described at New Haven the 1"e1i%% yielded by prehistoric villages disco%e ered during his explorations in Alaska. “The American continents are younper with regard to human occupation than the Eastern hemisphere,” according to Weyer, “The very first immigrants to them, the forerunners of the American Indians, doubtless came from Asia. Thus Alaska, which lies much closer to Asia thap any other pari of America, probably was the gateway through which passed these early Asiatic immi grants. b : “The northwestern corner of North America, therefore, can bhe rezarded as the firgt scene of human history in America. No aborigines of Arctic America, so far as is known, ever used a written language. Consequently the mute relics of material culture are the only source of historical information here. Nevertheéless the buried prehistoric villages of Alaska yield secrets to the archeologist.”—Pathfinder Magazine. !

Famous Carnac Stones : Puzzles to Scientists

The Stones of Carnac in Brittany are one of the wonders of the age. Nobody knows when they were erect ed, or why. Nowhere throughout IZurope. can there be seen such perplexing evidence of an early race combining the most primitive simplicity with indications of a profound knowledge. Vast alignments of huge stones attract the eye, headed or terminated by circles or dolmens (tahle stones commonly: called cromlechis) extending at intervals as far as seven miles to Locmariaquer and bulging out in all directions to Erdeven, St, Barbe, Kermario, Kerlescan and the Quiberon. -Intersected among these are tumuli, menhirs, tolmen (holed stones) and engraved stones. To the casual visitor they are remnants of stone worship, burying places or records of conquered foes and victories past. Their strange markings are exactly similar to the thumb morks of the human hand, but done on a large scale and with wonderful accuracy. The height of the Egyptian columns and’obelisks is almost exactly the same. What relation has Carnac with Egypt? .

Cocoa Cause of Dispute

A Florentino who had resided in the West Indies introduced chocolate into liuly, whence its use gradually spread through Europe, though not without opposition. Its introduction into Prussia was prohibited by Frederick the Great. A fanous Paris physician, Bachot, on the other hand, proclaimed cocoa as one of the most noble of discoveries, far more worthy to be the food of the gods than nectar and ambrosla, and Linnaeus, noted Swedish botanist, whe gave cocoa its scientific christening, coined a name “Theobroma” from two Greek words meaning “food for the gods,” which remains its sclentific name today. : ey Early Umbrellas Clumsy The first fashionable sunshades imported into England were luxurious affairs, composed on the outside of bird feathers. During Queen Anne’s reign a more practical oiled silk came into use and umbrellas began to be ysed as much on rainy days as they were under the summer sun. These early English specimens were clumsy affairs made of heavy waxcloth with cane ribs. When wet, the material stuck together and opening or closing them was a job for a superman. It was not until 1852 that Samuel Fox invented the modern type.—Detroit ‘News. o

Five-Eyed Insects

All insects, with few .exceptions, have five eyes. Two of these are the compound eyes, which are situated one on each side of the head. The three remaining ejes are of the ordinary kind and are found on top of the head. These are usually clustered closely together in the form of a triangle. The compound eyes are for normal vision; the three simple eyes. being ‘more light sensitive, are able to distinguish between light and darkness. This is very important, especially for the night flying insects.

Radio Tends the Baby

An eastern mother whose husband is a radio expert,” makes her radio set tend the baby. When she puts him in his crib upstairs she places the loud speaker near him, By turning the loud speaker into a microphone, by use of an adapter, when the baby wakes up and cries mother gets the signal by radio wherever her household duties may take her. This is done by reversing the radio set. No nursemaid was ever more watchful and unfailing.—Capper’s Weekly,

For a Pie

Buddy, not quite three, is exceedingly fond of pie. One day his mother remarked that she just didn’t know what to have for dinner. ‘ “I know,” said Buddy, ‘“have pie.” “Well, I don’t believe I have anything to make pie with,” answered mother, N “Oh, yes, mother, you have a receipt,” was the response.

Petition For Injunction Denied ‘The petition of James A. Bell a stockholder in the Buescher Band Instrument Co., of ‘Elkhart for an injunetion to ‘pre?ent any action toward a consolidation with C. G. Conn, Ltd,, 'was denied by Judge L. L. Barris in ﬂxe circuit court Saturday afternoon. A, temporary restraining order had been granted last Monday which prevented the holding of a ﬁleeiing ot the stockholders of the Buescher comcompany called to act cn the proposal last Tuesday and a hearing to determine whetuer the injunction 'sho_uld be made permanent was held Saturday. ‘The restraining order was dissolved. : . The court held that the 1929 General Corporation Act so far as its provisions are involved in this litigation. is valid and not unconstitutional as claimed by the plaintiff and that the defendants had the right to take the action which they proposed to take.
