In the days before tho Inca Empire was estab- I lished the gods were almost unlimited in number?even the family hud its god. Among popular objects worshiped were trees, itones, rivers, mountains, flowers and animals. The animals were selected for certain outstanding characteristics??the condor, largest of all flying birds and one indigenous to the Andes, wus revered because of its Size; the fox.'for its cunning; the jaguar, for its strength; Rocks, caves und lakes also were worshiped because it was the belief of the Indians that from such places their ancestors had sprung. 'In fact, one legend has it that the first Inca, Manco Ceapac, made figurines of clay representing the different natives he desired to gather into his empire; that he painted them with the clothes they were to.wear, and told them the localities in which the various natives they represented were to spring up. Then he sent them down below and they later sprang into the world?some from waterfalls, others from caves and trees, thus endowing such objects with the qualities of a god. City of Antwerp Recalls Story of Painter Rubens In the last years of the Sixteenth century the Jesuits of Antwerp had a little lad whose parents had called him Peter Paul after the saints, on whose day he was born in 1577, notes a writer in the Los Angeles Times. His father John, a lawyer and magistrate of the city, having been under suspicion as a Calvinist. had fled to Germany with the mother of the boy "Where, becoming involved in an intrigue with Anna, the second wife of William the Silent, he suffered imprisonment and banishment and later death at Cologne. The mother and boy returned to the old home in the Place de Meir, while the boy attended school on what is now Rue Otto Venius, after the painter Venius. He also learned painting from Van Noort. who taught in the Rue du Jardin. Then he "traveled over Europe and painted for royalty and nobility everywhere till on his mother's death he built him a palace in what became Rue Rubens, for this is the story of Rubens, to see whom and learn of werp. nearly 300 years after his death. Pronouncing "Phi Beta Kappa" The ponular pronunciation of the name of the American society, whose members are taken from upper class college students of high standing, is fai beta kapa, ai as in aisle, e as in they, first and third a's as in final, second a as in cap. This pronunciation seems to be a transitional hybrid, a compromise between the so-called English pronunciation formerly taught in American schools and the pronunciation now taught. In the English system, $eta is pronounced bita, i as in police. In the pronunciation now taught, the full name is pronounced fl beta kapa, i as in police, e as in they, first and third a's as in final, second a as in father. The members of the society themselves are not in agreement upon the pronunciation to be favored. Some prefer to carry the classroom pronunciation into general usage; some cling to the older style, and some are content with the popular hy- < brid.?Literary Digest. Sacred Fish An English traveler in the East in the seventeenth century says that sacred fish were to be seen throughout the East, "fish confined in the courtyard of a mosque, with rings of gold, silver and copper through their muzzles, not for ornament" he says, "but, as I was informed, as a token of their being consecrated. No one darod touch them, such a sacrilege being supposed to draw after it the vengeance of the saint to whom they were consecrated." Bananas Give More Food The banana gives more food per acre than any other plaftt, more calories per pound than any other fresh fruit and, in some large species, produces more food per single fruit than any other member-of the vegetable kingdom, says Collier's Weekly. Huge bananas grown in East Africa and Cochin-China are two feet long, as thick as a man's arm and contain sufficient food to make an adequate meal for three men.
