It has been exploited by the novelist, the playwright, the poet , and the historian, for it is a subject replete with fascinating thrills. Tales have-differed as to the identity of the Wandering Jew.

Violin Strings. \ Each string in a violin is of a diff- J erent thickness, according to the tone j and tension required. The fourth i strlug is covered with fine wire, either a white raetai or real silver, hence it is often called the "silver string." Violas, violoncellos and double-basses have each two covered strings, the object being to Insure a sufficient gravity of tone without having toe j pinmsv n material. The covered! strings on rhe guitar are upon a basis j of silk instead of catgut. The best [ gut comes from Italy, which has beei ' ' famous for centuries for this product. Strings are carefully selected anc graded as to size so that they shall be uniform. The larger strings for th bigger instruments are stretched or frames for three or four days.

GAVE WORLD POWER TO ROME Conquering Legions Carried the Eagles to Victory in Practic;:liy Every Known Lanct. in me eany uays 01 i*s History uie republic of Borne consisted of :t city, but wars of conquest extended its dominion over the whole Italian peninsula. For centuries only the citizens of Koine had a vote in the election of the ruler. The republic was a conquering state, and extended Human power as far north and west as Spain, the British isles. Belgium, and Germany, and as far east as the Black sea. At iirst the army consisted of a levy of citizens.

The unit of the Koman army of that time was the legio, translated into j English, the legion. It corresponded to a regiment in our army but was much larger. fv>r a Roman legion contained , from 4,000 to 0,000 men. They Were heavy infantry with some cavalry. The . % j 1ntr?ATio thti rnOTlfc. ! while the auxilia, or auxiliaries, were the troops of the second class. At the time of the death of the first emperor, Augustus, in the year 14 A. D.. the Roman army consisted of 2o such legions. This heavy infantry lost j much of its importance when the barbarian invasions altered the character of ancient warfare and made cnvalry a more important arm than infantry in i the late Third and the Fourth cen- : turies. The word legion came to express any large number with the accessory ideas of order and subordination. j HIGH VALUE CF SAND BATHS; From Findings of Danish Medical | Men, It Would Seem Their Impor- j tance Is Underestimated. From the earliest history of man j baths of hot sand ha\e been used I to relieve bone and joint disease, es- : pecially gout and rheumatism. Faber j and Plum, in a Danish medical jour- j ual, tabulate the Endings during and after the sand bath in a numoer or crses as regards the pulse, respiration, i temperature at different points of the i body and the blood pressure, urine ! and changes in weight as well as the j effect on the pathologic condition, j Their conclusions are to the effect : that the hot sand bath seems to com- 1 bine with the benefit from the heat? : reducing pain and stimulating local i circulation?a direct action on the muscles from the weight of the sand. This relaxes the muscle and tends to break up the various circles of pain and muscle contraction. This relaxing er-1 feet on the muscles from the sheer ! weight of the sand lias been over- ; looked before, they think, but they j regard it as an important factor in J the effect, promoting resorption as j well as combating the possibly unsus-; pected hypertonia in the muscles. An- j other advantage of sand baths is that ! they can be graduated with precision ; to St conditions in the weakest The I only contraindications are febrile dis-! eases, valvular defects, great instability j of the circulation, and possibly anemia and asthenia. Wise Animals. A polar bear in a zoological park used to sit on a rocky peninsula that \ ran out into a water-filled quarry, i Visitors were in the habit of throw-! inp buns into the water and some of j tliem floated on the surface. It was j often easy for the bear to collect half j a dozen by plunging into the pool, but j he soon discovered a more interesting j way to get them. At the edge of the i peninsula it scooped the water gently with its huge paw and made a current that brought the buns ashore. An elephant in another garden used , to collect pennies from visitors. When ! it got a penny in its trunk it put it in ! the slot of an automatic macnine which delivered up a biscuit. The animal rejected every other coin. I Embarrassing Moment. One evening my friend and I went to church. As it was raining we both wore our rubbers. We had to go upstairs in the balcony because the lower part of the church was tilled. My friend took his rubbers off and one of them accidentally fell through the opening in the railing. The dirty wet rubber hit a bald-headed man squarely on the top of his head. lie turned around and gazed at us long and hard. So did everyone else.

The heat of the earth increases uiie degree for every 100 feet of depth. Coai mines are not usually very deep and therefore not effected to any great extent by tne heat of the earth. The temperature of the mine depends upon the location and the depth. Felt It Was Being Overdone. Some playmates came early one morning to- spend the day with Betty.

AUSTRIANS USERS OF ARSENIC Mountain Folk Make Use ot ueaai; Poison for Definite Purpose? Also Fed to Horses. Inhabitants of Austria, in thi mountains adjoining Hungary, are ii the habit of eating arsenic. The effec of the poison, when taken in moderat< quantities, is to give a freshness to th< complexion, and afterward to irapar a certain degree of embonpoint. An other advantage which the eaters de rive from the use of the poison is t< have their respiration raeintateu i> ascending the mountain. They placi a little piece of arsenic in their mouth and rney ascend the greatest height: with ease. Grooms and coachmen at Viennj give arsenic to their horses. The: sometimes throw a pinch of it amonj the oats, and sometimes tie up a smal bit of it in a linen rag, which* the] attach to the bit when the horse i: harnessed. The effect on the horse is to put them in tiigh condition, win the skin smooth and shining, and t< increase their spirits. The carters in the mountainous coun tries of Austria are also in the habi of giving arsenic to their horses whei about to ascend a steep road, with th< result that the ascent is made mud easier for the animals.
