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

Spencer Transfer was opened November
1st, 1907. Since that time the
system has been expanded by the opening
