I Uk IVK'ke<i *,w,> In tlw fifth <on WHY It Is Believed the Mayas Knew of Opium While digging In the ground around the Temple of Wurriors, one of the most famous ancient Muyu buildings In Chlclien Itzu, members of the exploring party of the Carnegie institution of Washington, headed by Dr. Sylvanus G. Morley, during the lust excavation season In Yucatan canie across a ' curious object that some people will again claim links the Mayas with the Egyptians and the Chinese. This object Is a clay pipe In the form of a snake about twenty-one Inches long. On Its neck near the head Is a round thing like the bowl of a pipe with a hole In the bottom that leads to the tall of the snake. It is very similar to the opium pipes that orientals smoke today. The discovery gave rise to much comment among the American arclieologlsts, who are convinced that It really Is a pipe. The supposition would confirm the Idea that the Mayas, like the Egyptians and Chinese, had the drug habit and used Intoxicating herbs. Inspector Eduardo Martinez Can ton, member of the exploring party who represents the Mexican department of archeology, believes the Instrument Is more likely to be one of the many types of incense burners the M*yas used to* drive away the evil spirits from their ritual festhals and when they were invoking the -oracles for the new year, rather than evidence of an ancient vice. He points to the records of Diego de Landa, third bishop of Yucatan, who explored the peninsula In 1572. Bishop Landa left descriptions of What he saw and heard while he was trying ,to persuade the natives to leave their Idolatrous rites and adopt Christianity. He describes many curious purification rites In which objects like this newly discovered clay pipe might have been used. Why Brain Works Best in Afternoon or Night When we go to bed earfy, hoping to wake up fresher than nsual, we generally seem to wake up drowsier than after a late night In fact, the longer and "deeper" we sleep, the more time It takes to recover from the resultant "flightiness," Mental tests show that students averaged a 10 per cent higher score at night than ~ immediately after eight hours' restful slefep. In the morning when your mind Is fresh It Is best prepared for a brief spurt, but it is too restless to concentrate. As the day wears on the mind Is helped to concentrate by fatigue poisons that accumulate In the system. They act as mental excitants, ,and the best time for sustained mental work is from late afternoon until midnight or later. Wby Horn* Affect Hearing It has been ascertained that the spiral horn of a wild sheep, when so . placed that the ear Is In the axis of the coll, makes the direction from which the ticking of a watch comes more - easily discernible. SJnce the ear of the sheep is surrounded by the horn, It Is inferred that the latter acts as an ear trumpet, not Improving the hearing for distant sounds, but disclosing the direction of a sound. This would be useful In enabling the sheep to ascertain the exact points whence sounds come when there Is a mlet or fog covering Its feeding grounds. The observation* mentioned, it has been pointed out apply both to the case of European and American wild creature* of the sheep genua, particularly Id the cage of our wild sheep if the Rocky mountain region.

SPENCER TRANSFER IMPORTANT UNIT PLAYS BIO PART IN FREIGHT MOVEMENT. AIDS PIEDMONT SECTION Fast Handling to Distant Points Has Helped Development of Industry. Spencer, N.?One of tfoe greatest enters of activity in the entire Pled[ mont region the transfer station for ilio concuntrutlon and assortment of ltiss than a car load freight, operated i by the Southern Hallway System In ' onuectlon with lis Spencer terminals. The name "Spencer Transfer," Is ' more widely known among truffle men, shipping clerks and railway yard clerks and Is written more often dally all over the United States than that of any other freight station In the South. From Spencer Transfer an average of 275 cars of freight, made up in largo part of the manufactured prodl^cts of the Piedmont section, are shipped dally to a wide variety of points, ranging from Boston, Mass., and Mechantcvllle, N. Y., on the East to Chicago, Minneapolis and Kansas City on the West, to New Orleans and Houston, Texas, on the Southwest and to Havana, Cuba, on the South. Conversely, cars are loaded Into Spencer from all Important manufacturing and concentrating points in the East and North, containing shipments for distribution throughout the South. Great Clearing House. Spencer Transfer is the Southern's gTeat clearing house for freight moving to the East. The movement has now reached a volume which makes it possible to load daily cars to all Important Eastern and New England cities, Including ten distributing points In the Greater New I York district. As a result, shipments | from the Piedmout region which are loaded to Spencer are there placed in solid cars which move direct to final destinations, eliminating the numerI ous transfers en route which were formerly necessary. This has proved a very important benefit to manufacturing plants in the South, enabling I them to compete on a freight service basis with plants located at any point In the United States. In addition to the Greater New York depots to which cars are loaded from Spencer, other destinations In the East are as follows: Boston, Springfield, Mass.; New Haven, Conn.; Cedar Hill Transfer, Providence, R. 1.; Boston & Maine Transfer at Mechanicville, N. Y.; Philadelphia for B. & O. Pier 24, and Wayne Junction Transfer, Philadelphia, for Dock street station and PRR Transfer; PRR Transfer for Delaware and Hudson at Wllkesbarre, Pa.; PRR Transfer at Northumberland, Pa.; PRR Trunsfer for New York Central at Newberry, Pa.; PRR Transfer at Harrisburg, Pa.; Fittsburgh, Buffalo, Elmlra, N. Y., Chester, Pa.; B. & O. Camden Station and PRR Calvert Station at Baltimore; B. & O- Transfer at Brunswick, Md.; Washington, D. C.; Pinners Point, Va., for Norfolk and steamer lines to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Providence and Boston; West Point, Vs., for Chesapeake Line to Baltimore, and Havana, Cuba, via Key Wesf Ferry. |Cars are also loaded at Spencer for all Important points In the South and for peddler service on local freight trains of the Southern. Movement to the West, I To take care of the growing movement of manufactured products from the South, moving to the West, and to avoid backhauling, the Southern opened a now transfer station at John Sevier Terminal, hear Knoxville, Tenn., in October, 1025. This has relieved Spencer of handling the greater part I of the buslnoss for the West as solid cars are loaded to John Sevier Transfer from all Important stations on the Southern and by a large number of manufacturing plants. However, sufficient -blumeof business is still concentrated at Spencer to justify tho loading of daily cara to Kansas City, Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Paul, Detroit, Mich.; Springfield. Ohio; New Orleans and Houston, Texas. Growth of Industry in the South since 1900 is well illustrated by the I development of the long distance packago car service of the Southern which has grown along with and contributed greatly to the upbuilding of the 3outh as a manufacturing section. The Southern's first package car directory, dated June 1st, 1900, gave the transfor then operated at Salisbury authority to load cars to twenty-four destinations. Moat of these were in the SOttfc, the distribution of manu-, factured products*belnj,almost entirely in the southbound direction at that , time while freight from the South consisted lrrgely of rav materials moving to manufacturlrg plants outside. tb*i 8outh. Spencer Transfer was opened November 1st, 1907. Since that time the system has been expanded by the opening of Hunan Tranaf < r. at Atlanta, of Hayne Transfer near Spartanburg, 8. C? and of transfer stations at Columbia, 8. a. Birmingham, AHu, and (^UaeOeffiw Thaa.
