WORKED BENEATH THE EARTH
Discovery in Jerusalem Solve* Much
of Mystery Connected With Kino
Solomon's Temple.
How often great discoveries spring
from trifling Incidents I The trite re
flection comes to mind naturally or
hearing how the quarries of King Sol
omon were found. Dr. Allen Moore, j
for 17 years a resident of Palestine,
tells the curious tale.
For many many years, says Doctor
Moore, travelers and archeologlsts
were puzzleu to know where the enor
mous blocks of stone still standing In
the ruins of Soiomon's temple at Jeru
salem were quarried. One day a lit
tle dog chased a lizard down a hole i
among the debris. The next Instant
the dog also disappeared.
His master, coming to the opening,
peered down In vain. He called, and
to his amazement his voice came back
as from grent depths. He summoned
assistance, and a passage was opened
Into Immense subterranean quitrriea.
There were found huge masses of
stone almost ready to be hoisted
above ground.
"And don't you remember." ssks
Doctor Moore, "that we are told in
our Bibles that the temple was built
without sound of saw or of hammer?
The fact that the quarrvman worked
underground partly explains that."
Upon some of the stones were found
Inscriptions that perplexed the explor
ers until one scholar pronounced them
Phoenician. The stones were wrought
by some of that army of workmen sent
by King illnim of Tyre to aid King
Solomon lu his task.—Voutli's Com
panion.
GROUSE LIVES LIKE ESKIMO
In Cold Weather the Bird Finds a
Safe and Warm Retreat
in Snow House.
In the temperate months the grouv
has au excellent choice of food con
sisting of a great variety of herrie*.
small frull. seeds. buds, clover, beech
nuts. grasshoppers and a multitude of |
young, tender leaves. In the winter
one wonders at their survival; for
now the fall flight of the robins com
pletely exhausts the berries, which
were wont to linger am) ripen well
Into winter, compelling the grouse to
depend largely upon yellow birch
buds, with many a forced meal on an
evergreen.
Fortunately, whenever the tempera
ture is far below zero the sky l> n«n- j
ally clear and the grouse are active
and unconcerned, but if the days and I
niirhts are dark and cold or the air I
filled w'th merciless pellets, they have
the habit of plunging Into deep snow
drifts, where a foot below the surface
the heat aud weight of the body form
a globular retreat, in which thfv re
main comfortably until the storm
clears or hunger fori-en an exit.
Sometimes In winter or the early
spring rhere may eome a ruin or a
warm day that melts the surface snow
followed by severe weather, and then
thousands of grouse are Imprisoned
and the heretofore safe retreat be
comes their tomb, should weeks pass
by before the seal Ik broken.—Na

But Separate Nationality for Ukraine
Does Not Seem to Suit the
Croat Pewere.
The Ukrainians are by far the most
numerous of the races aspiring to In
dependence through the disappearance
of the Romanoff* and Hupaburga.
There are 35,000,000 Ukrainians, most
of them In the six southern and south
western former Russian "govern
ments," or provinces, and In eastern
Uelicla.
Tlie Ukraine la larger than Ger
many and twice as large as France. It
stretches from the Carpathian mouo
lalus to the Black sea and the Cao
i-a-'us. It contains the oil fields of
Ualicla and the famous Donets coal
»nd iron region. Almost all the cereals,
cattle, sugar and salt exported from
the former Russian empire came from
the Ukraine.
If the Ukraine manages to survive
and keep wtthln its boundaries the
territories in which Its race predom
inates. it will be the moot populous
aud the richest of the new states cre
ated by the war, and next to Russia,
the largest country in Europe.
An independent Ukraine, however,
does n»t -wni to fit in with the Inter
ests of the victors in the World war.
as these interests are conoeived by
their statesmen. Hence every possi
ble effort Is being made to deny the
exlsteuiv of a Ukrainian race Dur
ing the isst few years the most absurd
and unfolded statements about the
Ukrainians have been circulated and
have gained credence.—Herbert Adams

COMFORT FOR THE AVIATOR

An electrically heated par-merit. de

has been developed by the genius of
an [tallun. Antonanpelo NegTomantl «f
Milan. It has certain very novel fea
tures.
In the high reaches of the at
mosphere. into which aviator* ascend,
there Is even In >.ummer time cold ec
severe that the thickest garments of
padded arid fur-trimmed leather do not
afford adequate protection.
The Necromantl coat la woven of
threads which, N>th warp and weft,
are electrically resistant wires coated
with a fltvpn>«>f Insulating material—
aslievtos or silk.
The wires are connected with *
source of electric current (which may
he a battery of accurr arors). and
also wltli an apparatus which contain*
an aneroid barometer. The latter In
strument Is associated with a therm®
static tube In such a way as to vary
the elecrricul rwurnnce of the wires
Composing the coat.
