One of the incidents of the early days in Great Bend that caused a, great deal of merriment among the I white residents was the time the Indians bought all the parasols and umbrellas that were for sale in the town. This happened along in the '70s and I was on a rainy day. The Injuns were | on their way south and came through i the town of Great Bend. They saw | a number of men and women on the streets with umbrellas and, being plentifully supplied with money and a desire to own one of the handy contrivances, they got busy. The. funny part of it was that they made no distinction between toy parasols, silk ones and the serviceable linen ones. 1 It was not long flntll the entire visible supply of all the stores had been purchased. Then the fun began. Some of the toy parasols were made of cloth that was highly colored and as 60on as the water hit them the coloring matter began to mix with the water and drip down upon the Indians' clothes. They minded this not In the least and were seen going southward whooping and 6eemlngly In the very best of spirits.?Great Bend Tribune.

SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD. W ireless Telegraphy, Telephone, Aerop lane, Radium, Antiseptics and An* titoxins, Spectrum Analysis and X* Ray. Sometime ago the editor of Popular Mechanics Magazine asked nearly one thousand scientists, representing every European and American school of advanced thought, to participate in the selection of seven wonders of the modern world. The international character of the poll and the wide diversity of opinion of the men chosen to participate in it resulted in some remarkable answers, and in a scattering of votes over a wide range of human achievement, so that the subject which received the largest number of votes was selected by a little more than 35 per cent of the scientist* voting and the seventh on the Anal list by but a trifle more than 17 per cent. The final analysis of the poll shows the ten subjects highest on the list were: Wireless telegraphy 244, Telephone 185, Aeropane 167, Radium 165, Antiseptice and Antitoxins 140, Spectrum Analysis 126, X-Ray 111, Panama Canal 100, Anesthesia 94, Synthetic Chemistry 81. Mr. H. H. Windsor, editor of Popular Mechanics, says: The seven wonders of the Modern World! It' were a far easier task for even the learned men who shared in the selection to name seven score than seven. On the other hand, by night, by day, we walk and see and breathe amid a multitude of wonders, which are no wonders, to us, but only commonplace, because a part of our everyday existence. Today an infant's feeble voice finds its unerring way along a tiny wire across rivers and over plains and mountains to the one home in millions it seeks. To us no wonder, and our young men and women cannot recall the time before the telephone was. They use without a thought, an instrument before which the Seven WiBe Men would have prostrated themselyes as a thing supernatural. * The Seven Ancient Wonders were, selected by the Greeks, and their right to the title were established before, Christ was born. During all the in- j tervening years no attempt has been made to definitely revise the "Seven Wonders." Generation after genera-] tion has come and gone accepting the decision one from the other. In fact there was no opportunity for a revision. As the years increased civilization ebbed and about all the manmade marvels we have to show for those 2,000 years of human life are a few cathedrals and pictures. I Of the ancient wonders only one was a practical utility?Pharos, the 400-foot lighthouse of Alexandria; one was a hanging garden, not for the people, but built by a queen for her sensual pleasure; two were tombs; one was a temple of beauty devoted to a heathen god; another, the Colossus of Rhodes, was a freakish mass of cast metal, less than half the height of our own Statue of Liberty, and not comparable In dignity; and one was a beautiful statue to eypify certain aesthetic ideals. Not a single one created for the uplifting or well-being of the masses. As brute force, represented in vast armies, was a measure of power, so the Ancients honored the strong arm and the mighty, inert mass. It would seem that the pent up forces of civilization, held in, thrust back, ruthlessly cut down for 20 centuries, had flnnally burst forth to fill the 19th cen tury witn wonders. And the greatest of these are neither connected ocenas, mountains thrust through with tunnels, towering structures each housing the popuation of a city, floating palaces, land vehicles that outdistance the eagle, nor any of the things which typify the might of muscle. On the contrary each modern wonder is a monument to the might of mind. ' As we move out into the 20th century we are pushed on by a tremenjous momentum of scientific and mechanical and physiological knowledge >f which the Ancients were utterly incapable to even dream. Shall we contrast the Ancient Wonlers and our Modern? The Panama Canal: An engineering 'eat so stupendous aa to find its equal inly in Nature herself?is not thought tvorthy to be one of the Seven Modern Wonders. And yet Colonel Goethals with his men nnd machines could erect a mass in a few weeks which Bj would put to insignificance the Great Pyramid, to build which required 1 '50,000 men for 20 years. And v/htn In completed it was only a resting pwce for a few human bones which have long since be;n desec.'a:?! and scattoed. The Panama Canal w.'ll for all time be of real service to all the per.- T< pies of the earth and to republics yet undorn, bringing food in time of famine from lands of plenty to those in want, and by reason of accessibility make alien nations neighbors. Yet th this accomplishment with its mighty ol possibilities is less a wonder than the fe story brought by a single ray of light S. from the smallest star as related by rt 4U a A n n 1 trald In tut: opctn uut Aiiaijoio. ia The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? ui the artificial mountain in a monoto- tc nous plain?built by slaves; devoted r< to the riotous revelry of a wicked oj court; its beauty known throughout w the world: Yet this lofty, hand-made 11 height sinks into smallness beside a k single hial of antitoxlne as it triumphs over the disease of some poor d< unfortunate outcast whose pain-rack- dl ed bdoy the ambulance rescues from aj the slums. n What a cold marble statue, however : beautiful and stately, to those quivering waves which Marconi snatched II from out of sace and wove into invisible chords that tether the ships of the seas to ten million firesides! What even the beauties of the Temple of Diana to the beauties and yet unknown blessings of ffradium? The Wonders of our Modern Won- oi ders is the thing itself?not the in- Ii strument To the Ancients, a wonder had to be fashioned with the strong fc arm; its virtues were chiefly those of di size and strength. The Modern Won- C ders find their inspi'ation in an im- ti provement of human life?every hu- tl man life?and their concpetion 1n T minds, not in muscle. p The Seven Wonders! What will k they be in the 40th century, when the k scientists of those days look back and tl review the seven wonders which we tl select today? Unquestionably we can p as little forcast or comprehend the Seven Wonders of the Then as the C Ancients, brought to life today, could a comprehend the things we know. & With all our vaunted conquests we b reach out Into twenty centuries yet to a come with the same feeble comprehension that takes us back to those 8 greatest of all Seven Wonders?the wonders recorded in the first chapter ( of Genesis.

It may not greatly console modern people, hut a paper read at the Paris Academy of Science last week established the fact that rheumatism "was as common among our ancestors of r; the polished stone age as it is at the 0 present time." Researches made by Dr. Marcel Badouin of a neolithic burial place at Vendrest left no doubt that thirty backbones among one hundred skeletons showed the effects of * this disease. The skeletons of the Vi women showed that the left side was u the more often affected, while the Ci men seem to show the effects on the K right side.
