MONSTERS OF DISTANT PAST
Proof That Sirds Capable of Lifting
and Carrying Off Full-Grown
Men Once Existed.
Recent scientific discoveries in various
parts of the world go to prove that
In times long gone by there were birds
big enough to lift a man into the air
without difficulty, observes a London
Tit-Bits writer.
It is well known that an eagle with
a five-feet spread of wings can lift'a
lamb weighing ten pounds, and that a
bird can generally lift one-half more
than its own weight. Many of the
enormous birds of ancient times
weighed inany hundreds of pounds,
and some of them had a spread of
wings which would cover a presentday
street car.
There once lived in the Rocky mountains
of America a race of parrots
seven feet high. One nearly complete
skeleton of this remarkable species
has been preserved, and fragments of
others have recently been dug up.
Thoco nnrmts arp snrmosed to have
trodden the earth about 3,000,000
years ago.
Another amazing creature was a
running bird of prey of the heron family.
It bad a head larger than that of
a horse, with a huge sharp beak, and
was %ight feet high. Like the parrot,
it could not fly to any height, as its
wings were not large enough to support
it.
In the island of Madagascar there
used to be an enormous bird called
the aepyornis. This creature was ten
feet high and laid eggs thirteen inches
long and three feet in circumference.
It is supposed to have bccome extinct
only little ruore tlu.n a century ago.
Although the aepyornis must have
been a sufficiently awe-inspiring sight,
the "giant moa" of New Zealand,
which stood 14 feet high and weighed
at least half a km, must have been
even more so.
FINGER PRINTS NEVER CHANGE
Not Even the Gmallect Variation Take?
Placc From Infancy to Extreme
Old Age.

The use of finger prints as a means
of identification was first made practical
and pur Into operation by Sir
William Herschel of the Indian civil
service in the police department of
Bengal. The lineations of the thumb
and fingers have, liowever. attracted
the atention of scientists for at least
a century.
The ridges and patterns are of four
primary types. First, arches, in which
the ridges run fmra one side to the
^ other, but make no backward t^rn;
second, loops, in which some <>f the
ridges make a backward turn but
are devoid of twists; third, whirls,
in which some of the ridges make a
turn through at least one complete
circuit: and fourth, composite, where
two-or more of the first three patterns
are combined in the same imprint.
. It has been demonstrated that these
d?sJgns persist unchanged in the smallo?r-'dpr;ii]
throii!rln>!if flip individual's
life, and that there are no two persons
whoscimprints are identical. The
design on tile fingers of a new-horn
iiifant are easily recognizable in the
same person in old age.
Key to Egyptian Hieroglyphics.
The Rosetta stone, one of the most
celebrated archeologica! discoveries of
\ modern times, is famous for being the
key whereby the decipherment of the
, Egyptian hieroglyphics was made pos^
* sibie. It was found in 1790 near Rosetta,
Egypt, by an officer of engineers
/in the French army, which was then
in occupation of that country.
The slone is a slab of black basait,
and bears an inscription in honor of
Ptolemy Epiphanes. written in three
languages?ijreeK, aemouc ana merut
giyphic. As the three inscriptions are
of identical significance, the Greek
made easy the deciphering of the
others.
Until the discovery of the stone
archeologists had no key to Egyptian
hieroglyphics, but since that
time all of Egypt's sculptured literature
has been rend with ease and
much valuable information given to
the world.
His Mistake.
The editor of a magazine which is
published by a ?w York bus company
offers a prize each month for the
best story turned in by an employee
of the company on any topic pertaining
to company affairs. Here is the
one which won this month :
"One seat on top and one inside,"
shouted a bus conductor at a stopping
place.
"Sure, now. and you wouldn't be
after separatin' a daughter from her
mother." said the elder of two women
on the sidewalk.
"Right ye are, I would not," said
the conductor, starting the bus. "I
did that once an* I've been regret tin'
it ever since."?Cincinnati TimesStar.
Predicted the Phonograph.
A prophecy of the phonograph may
be found in Cvrano de Bergenia's
"Voyage to the Moon." Cyrano's imaginary
traveler telis of a wonderful
book presented to him by a lunar in'
habitant, which had neither leaves nor
letters, a book made wholly for
the ears and not for the eyes.
"When anybody has a mind to read it,
he winds up that machine with a great
many little springs, then he turns
the hand to the chapter which he
desires, and straight as from the mouth
of a man, or a musical Instrument,
proceed all the distinct and different
sounds TTiiich all the lunar grandees
make use of for expressing their
thoughts instead of languag#."

I Deep-Sea Diver May With Much Truth '
Be Said Constantly to "Waik j
With Death."
How does a deep-sea dive? feel
when he puts on his diving suit? Capt.
C. A. W. Monekton teils us in "Some
J Experiences of a New Guinea Kesii
dent Magistrate" that the feeling is ;
by no means pleasant. !,
The moment the face glass is
screwed tigh*. he says, and tl;e air
; pump begins to work, the diver feels j
| that he has a grievance. As he de-j1
J rends the feeling becomes more posi- j
i tive until he is in a fury of rage J
i against everyone in general and usual- j
ly against one person in particular.!,
At the bottom he spends mu ti of his 1
time wondering how soon the dress,
j can be taken off so that lie can injure ;
: the person against whom lie has the |
imaginary grievance. However, the j
moment the face glass is removed, j
and the diver breathes the ordinary
' air, the had temper leaves him, and;,
he wonders what caused his anger, i
The diver's greatest danger is that j
| of being drowned when he is on his ]'
i way to tne surrace. Aiitr mur, m
seems, the best of diving dresses be-!'
comes leaky, and the water that finds j;
its way through the seams settles j
round the feet and the legs; divers1,
become accustomed to having their J,
j dresses filled with water up to the j
I knees ana even to the thighs. How- ,:
: ever, when a diver who has water in [
| the bottom of his suit is being hauled j!
! to the surface he may involuntarily j
i or accidentally allow his body to be-1
come horizontal, and if he does so
tile water at once rushes into his
I
; helmet, stands him on his head and
j drowns him.?Youth's Companion.

i Stcry of the "Wandering Jew" Has1
Been Coftimon to All Peoples
Since the Crucifixion.
' It is an ancient legend. that of the
I Wandering Jew, and the earliest men* j'
tion T can find of it is said to be an i
account related by an Armenian bish- "
op in 122K. It has been exploited by <
i the novelist, the playwright, the poet
and the historian, for it is a subject
replete with fascinating thrills. i
j Tales have differed as to the identity j
| of the Wandering Jew. One relates
that he was Kartapliilos, a doorkeeper
j in the judgment hall of Pontius Pilate,
: who. when the Man of Sorrows was !
j passing through, struck him, saying,
J "Go on faster, Jesus." and the reply was,
; "I am going, but thou shall tarry till
I come again." A German legend takes ;
it up and relates that in the year lo47 ,
the Jew appeared in'Hamburg. giving j
bis name as' Ahasuerus, saying that .
! he had been a shoemaker in Jerusalem
i at the time of the crucifixion. When j
Jesus paused at his door to rest the j
cobbler pushed Him away, bidding j
I Him leave, to which the reply was: |
"Truly I go away and that quickly. !
I but tarry thou till I come again." 1
] And this tradition has it that the j
I condemned man, going from country
; to country, speaking all languages,!'
wandered throughout the centuries, j
! Eugene Sue depicts this artisan of j
| Jerusalem as pale, with the single line '
; of his black brows crossing from tem-1
: pie to temple, ever urged by the J

Violin Strings.
Each string in a violin is of a diff- j
erent thickness, according to the tone 1
and tension required. The fourth;'
string is covered with fine wire, either i
a white metal or real silver, hence,
it Is often called the "silver string.",,
| Violas, violoncellos and double-basses'
: have each two covered strings, the j
J object being to insure a sufficient j
! gravity of tone without having toe l
; clumsy a material. The covered j
' string* on the guitar are upon a basis;
! of silk instead of catgut. The best 1
| gut comes from Italy, which has beer
famous for centuries for this prodj
uct. Strings are carefully selected anc ,
i graded as to size so that they shall be j
| uniform. The larger strings for the j
bigger instruments are stretched od '
t frames for three or four days. The j
| covered strings are finished on a spe :
| cial lathe which covers them with
| floss silk or fine silver-plated coppeii
wire, or even silver.?Scientific Amerl-j

A shrewd lunatic, an inuiate of aD
asylum, had a shilling which he hid one :
day in a hole. The attendant was j
! watching him, so he went after him to
the place, took the shilling and put a|
' sixpence in its stead. Next day the j
patient came to see his shilling, and J
j when he examined it he said: "You J
| must be in consumption. You're get-1
ting so small and pale."
He put it back into the hole.
The attendant, who had been watching,
went again, took the sixpence and
put a sovereign in its place. On the
j following day, when the lunatic came
to see his coin, he looked at it and
said:
; "I fear you have yellow jaundice

sovereign in his pocket and kept it.

Dear Club Member:
The recent publicity given through
the press to the food poisoning: esses
causal by the consumption of home
canned products makes it imperative
that the greatest care and every precaution
must be used for canning
foods in th-'i homo and fjr market.
We do not intend for any cases of
botuiinus or ptomaine poisoning to
occur from canning done among our
members. Such disasters have not
yet arisen and we must maintain our.
record, therefore, we issue the following:
Poisonous compounds are often :
formed during the prcve.-t* o'. ckc. m-;
position of foods rich in protein by
the action of certain-bacteria. It is;
of the utmost importance, therefore,!
to use for canning only such meats,
and vegetables as are known to bef
absolutely fresh and clean.
Occasionally people are found who
think the high temperature used in:
the canning of food will make them !
safe and even wholesome, although!
putrefaction has begun. This is ab-|
soiutely false. While certain disease |
producing bacteria will be killed by'
the canning process, still meat, unless
it is fresh and from animals absolutely
healthy and in prime condition,
and vegetables, unless they are
fresh from the garden, should never
be canned. The condition of canned
feed when can opened should be
carefully noted. There should be no|
bad odors.
2. Practice great care in handling
and preparing products for canning
and work very quickly.
3. Adhere to rules recommending
temperature and time necessary for
safe processing a6 indicated in your
time table (Farmers' bulletin 1211
Home Canning of Fruits & Vegetables.
pages 49-50; Farmers' bulletin
A-92, Home Canning of Meats and
Sea Foods with Steam Pressure Canner).
4. Cool all canned products as
quickly as possible after processing.
5. Keep canned foods in coo!
place. Secure bulletins from your
home demonstration agent, if you
have one, if not, apply to home demonstration
department, , Winthrop
college, Rock Hill, S. C.
Very truly yovurs,
Christine N. South, State
Home Demonstration Agent.

MOTHERS' DAY AT
THE ECONOMY HOME
We had a great day May 14th.
Our Sunday scnool'lesson wac a call
to Israel to serve the God of their
fathers. We had special music for
Mother's day, and a selection read on
"Mother's Influence," which appealed
very forcefully to our children.
We then- had the lesson by the superintendent,
who ' emphasized the importance
of faithful service, and then
tried to impress upon the minds of
the children what their mothers
would have them be and do, could
they speak to t-h'em. He tried to
show them the loss:of a mother, and
concluded with the verse:
< 1
"The night has a-thousand eyes, the
day but one, '
When the sun goes'' down the day is
done.
You may have a'"thousand friends,
mothers you foave but one,
When mother's Head is laid, your
best friend is'gone."
I
Our quartette Sang, "My Mama
Lives Up in the Sky."
Late in the aft'ernoon we took a
bus full of children to Gaffney to a
'big tent meeting, which the mayor
says is the greatest that has ever
been in the town of Gaffn6y.
Bro. Hagood preached a great sermon.
