r'? MISSING LINKS. Pages of Geological History Thai Niture Has Destroyed. 1^ New details are continually txMng ?dded by geologists to the known his^ry of tne earth, including the develvneut of plants and animals. Hownr. that history, which is recorded in I. L\J\- JO OU.l LI <1 z* JLUrillUl J y uat ?-* H^y mutilated book. One of the great Blfecrs in^ the record in the Atlantic Ind gulf coastal plain regions of this country is the absence of the later part of the cretaceous and the early part of the eocene chapters?perhaps eight to ten millions years ago. A report by the geological survey discusses this missing part of the record and shows that the break must cover a very long period of time. It is known that at that time the continents were at least as large as and probably larger than they are now, and the oceans were accordingly smaller. Any rocks that were then formed in the sea seem to have been weather ed and washed away. Hundreds of ( kinds of plants and animals that lived before and hundreds that lived after this great period are known, but not one which lived during the period. Strange to say, few if any of tbe species which existed before the ui^nown period lived through it j It is like a play in which the places of one act remain the same as in the preceding but the characters are all j new, and yet many of the new players resemble the old ones so much that " ^nmnAlln.1 fA o/lmif fhot thflV flro VUC U v.uuiJTiiru iv auiuii. tuui. v?v close relatives. In each of the states bordering the Atlantic ocean are layers of rock which were formed before and after the period whose record j is missing. In these layers are entombed sea shells of many kinds, but apparently not one species liyed through from cretaceous to eocene time. BECKONING THE DEAD. The Call of the Indiana to Which the Sea Responded. On the rugged coast of Washington 1 by the Copalis sands there is a tower from which the Indians watch for sea otter. They are very eager after thai game, for the hide of one of those crea-1 tores is worth all the way from $500 | to $2,000. Two young Indians were i /Inrr + V?

Two shots flom their rifles killed the otter, and then they rushed down to their surfboat The sea was heavy, and when they were out some distance from the shore their boat broke in two over a comber, and the men were thrown into the sea.

The First Great Bank. The first great bank in the world ? was the bank of Venice, established in v 1157 when the queen city of the Addis. atic was the head of the commerce of f the western world At that time the great current of the trade between EuJ rope and Asia passed through the Persian gulf and the Red sea to Alexandria, Egypt, and was carried in ships across the' Mediterranean sea and through the Adriatic to Venice, where It was (JlstriDutea to various yarus v? "" Europe. Venice was a sort of autocratic republic, founded and supported by its merchants, who were famed throughout the world for their wealth and reliability. They founded their bank, which was guaranteed by the government and was held in high cred it in all the great cities on the routes VI u ouu? Happiness.

The battle which is known in hisl tory as the "Victory of Victories" tool; place at Nehavend. in Ecbatana, and 1 was fought between thertfiew Moslem . power in G37 and the empire of Persia, then one of the most powerful of the ! eastern monarchies. It was one of the I most absolutely decisive battles in the j history of war, and it was an tne more | amazing by reason of the fact that it was won by a people who twenty years before had been unknown barbarians, lost in the deserts of Arabia. Arabian historians place the Persian loss in a single day at 100,000 men killed This may be and probably is an exaggeration, but the fact remains that the Persian dynasty came to an end when the battle was over and that Zoroastriaiiism, which had been the religion of Persia for over a thousand years, was at once supplanted by Is| lam. Its modern representatives, as is i 11 1 ~ YYtlI hUUVTLl, aic jliww iuc i ai occo vj. India. The victory was so absolutely decisive that it extended the Arabian dominions over the whole of the region lying between the Caspian sea and the Indian ocean.

It'e Discipline That Marks the Difrererence Between Them. An army Is not an army, but a mob, j unless every item in it can be trusted ! to do the same thing at the same mo! ment at the word of command. So obedience Is not a virtue in a soldier, | but a necessity, for, unless he learns j it, he cannot attain to the military virj tues. It has been proved, for instance, *? ' * ? + ! **** 1CJ f VlQ I MUU uiat uucuicuv-t ao uuV I way to courage. | When it is a habit with men they face danger as they form fours because they are told to, and the habit of obedience is stronger in them than their natural fears. It is, in fact part of a soldier's technique, and unless he uas learned it he is an amateur liable to stage fright. There may, of course, be an irrational discipline which destroys a soldier's intelligence, as irrational technique destroys intelligence in any craft But * ~ - * ? ? ^Aro hoTrn me rac,. mai. owmiciu uH>v I learn obedience by means of a training ! specially designed to teach them obedi| ence. just as a musician has to practice scales.

It was at this period that a delegation from one of the southern states visited Washington with a desire to secure the impeachment and removal of the federal judge of their state. They interviewed Mr. Butler as to the probability of carrying such a measure through that session. "I don't know/' was Mr. Butler's reply. "I am chairman of the judiciary committee of the house.

A Giant Among Dwarfs. The intellect and genius of Franklin were perhaps never more manifest than when, as the colonial agent of Pennsylvania, he appeared before the British house of commons in order to undergo an inquisition" into the taxation questions which were brewing the trouble which subsequently resulted in American freedom. *Not fewer than 300 questions were propounded to him by some of the acutest legal and political minds of the old country. To each and every one of them he replied Ill a mtisieuui uiauuci> juiuxuuuu Burke in commenting on the matter said that Franklin reminded him of "a man being examined by a parcel of schoolboys." while Charles James Fox remarked that his inquisitors were "dwarfs in the hand of a giant" ) Regulating Bread Prices. A simple plan for the regulation of bread prices was in vogue in England from tl e time of; Henry III. to the be" ' -? a* mu. ginmn; or tne mneteentn century. iue "assize of bread'' was set every week by the authorities of every borough and manor, when the price of the loaf was regulated by the ruling price of wheat, the margin of reasonable profit being left to the baker and miller. Departure from the official price was heavily punished.?London Mirror. The Ruling Passion. "Fore:" yenea tne goner. But the lady never moved. For she was thinking of a coming shopping tour.
