Bacon's Genius Hailed by Scientific World Five years ago I»r. Wilfred M. Voy- nlch, a collector of old hooks and man uscripts. brought to this country a set of volumes written on vellum and con stituting s sort of encyclo|»edla of sclentlflc knowledge. At the monas tery from which he bought them there wts a tradition that they were the work of Roger Bacon, a Franciscan friar who lived In the Thirteenth cen tury and has long been regarded as one of the great scientific minds of the Middle ages. The hooks were written In s strange tongue ahd a rntn|>IU*nted cipher, which no one had been able to solve until poctor-Voynich submitted the volumes to I>r. W. Komaine Newbold of the University of Pennsylvania. He found the key and translated at least a part of the manuscript. It was announced at the time that they show Bacon to have had knowl edge both of the telesoipe and of th^ tnlrroacope. Doctor New hold Is even reported to have said that when the time came he would prove to the world “that the 'Mack magic’ of the Middle ages consisted In discoveries far In advance of Twentieth-century science,” and that the hooks contain “Informa tion on the origin of life and other mysteries that will stagger the sclen tlflc world.” Inmt September Doctor Newhold died, whether with his task of transla tion completed or not we do not know ; hut- at a recent memorial meeting In his honor a most Interesting announce ment was made. Among the‘formulae In The books was a rule for making salts of copper. Doctor Newbold sub mitted It to a chemist, who said he had never heard of It; but he tried It and found that It Works, though It la too complicated to be of commercial value today. . The incident la Interesting for two reasons: It shows that Doctor New- bold’s station of the cipher Is cor rect, and It shows that the friar of more than six hundred years ago had knowledge not common to the men of^hls day, pnd that he knew how to set that knowledge down. It whets the appetite of the scientific mind for other secrets that the hooks may con tain. • | . There la a sort of archeology of learning, of knowledge, as thereJa of archeology of the iftore materfaT as pects of clvlllzatldn, sych as architec ture, household utensils and armor; and out of its dust heaps Ibng-buried jewels flash from time to time a ray that broadens the horizon and grips the fancy.—Youth’s Companion. “Time” Observance of the advent of 1927 excites this comment by the modern world: The Idea of “absolute” time has, of course, passed. We see now that what we called ‘time’ Is merely a name for our own human reaction to varying aspects of the environment in which we find ourselves. Nevertheless, the thought of time enormously Influences essentially modern thought. When our minds reach back with sufficient Imagi native concentration through the mil lions «f years of organic .evolution which have led up to ns. we realise how relatively unimportant are the human stnpidttleN against which CJBiia nil. JteY infinitely Important Dunbarton Welcomes New Saw Mill Plant Dunbarton, March 22.—Grooms *nd Co. have recently located their saw mill here and promise to install a planer end dry kiln in the near future. It is reported that they have purchas ed a large tract of yellow pine tinw her i n Aiken County et a cost cf 240,000. These gentlemen are an acquisition to Dunbarton. The Sunday school, under the super. intendency of J. Gary Anderson, ta making excellent progress, to the credit of the teachers, pupils and sup erintendent. The old soldiers of the Confederacy are anticipating with much pleasure the time for them to attend the re union iff Tampa, Fla., next month. Many of them feel that it may be their last, as the ranks of gray have thinned rapidly in the past year. Tampa is' making great preparations to entertain them handsomely and the United States government has provided 2,000 tents, cot* and blank ets. The railroads have''granted special rates, but even so many will be deprived cf the opportunity at at tending what may be their last re union because of lack of funds. A special appeal, therefore, is being made to the people of Barnwell Coun ty tb contribute a fund to be used in defraying the expenses of the trip. These contributions may be made to Mrs. G. M. Greene or Judge John K. Sneiling, both of Barnwell. In this deemnection it may be pointed out that the State of Virginia sends her delegates in a Pullman car. Surely South Carolina can at least send hers in a day coach. Mayor B. F. Anderson is seeking to establish a new highway, connect ing the CharlesOcn and Augusta stage highway, near his plaea, and the Augusta highway. The people have already granted the right of way over their land without cost. 1 The people of this section are gratified to know the Representative J. E. Hartey*.of Barnwell, is redeem ing his campaigh pledge to the vbters by opposing the tax commission, the capitation tax and other oppressive measures. They are with him and wish him much success. Smith-Hutto. Mr. Clyde Hutto, of Blackville and Mrs. Leil a Smith, of Hilda, were quietly married in the office of judge of probate on Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, Judge Sneiling perform ing the ceremony. After a wedding trip to Augusta, the young couple will make their home in Springfield, where Mr. Hutto is connected with the Bad r ham Lumber Co.

President Coolidge will spend his vacation in the West, in response to many invitations. He should drive in a big automobile from Kansas City to Seat%-. .dpwn to San Diegd, fishing here and there. He would see millions of Ameri cans that like him. The biggest wars are soon for gotten. Over a direct cable from the United States to Germany, opened last week, President Cool idge wired President Hindenburg his hope that “this additional means of communication will pro mote mutual understanding and good will between the two coun tries.” And President Hindenburg replied most politely. Germany, rid of an expensive fleet, expensive standing army and extremely ex pensive Kaiser, attends to busi ness and goes ahead more rapidly than any other country in Europe. Mrs. Henry Fairfield Osborn en tertained friends at the Museum of Natural History, in honor of the tyrannosaurus, in Dinosaur Hall. That* monster is 47 feet long from his beak to the end of his tail, 18 feet high at the hips, 21 feet around the waist, with bones that weigh more than two tons. He was a powerful animal, but couldn’t last because he didn’t have a brain big in proportion to the size of his body. Civilization has developed a more powerful creature, which is the two-legged billionaire, able to eon- . trol and command the work of 200,000,000 men for one day. That billionaire will soon be numerous and the interesting Ques tion concerning him will be, “What about his brain?” Will it be big enough to keep him safe? The learned Dr. Sack, of Heidel berg University, studying thous ands of Egyptian mummies, finds that high living killed off rich Egyptian* as it kills off rich Americans now. Foolish rating, lack of exercise, especially lack of deep breathing, have through the centuries been skimming the scum off the boiling pot of civilisation. Mummies of the fifty dynasty show signs of tuberculosis, affect ing the spine, and gout, swelling the joints. The Supreme Court decides unanimously that Texas’ laws for bidding negroes to vote at Demo cratic primaries ia unconstitution al. It la a most important decision, and not to the South, only, since it may mean Federal control over local primaries. Where money is, men will dig. It was proved in Italy, beforr architects had learned how to make great domes like that on St Peter’s hold themrelves up as they rose in the air. One dome was built an 1 filled with earth to support it, a; it rose, until the sides met at tlic top. Ptitting in the earth would be much less expensive than taking it out. So they mixed the earth be neath the dome with small coins of a total value much less than tho cost of removing the earth. When the dome was k finished the popula tion was told it could bear away the coin-bearing dirt. The great dome stood empty. This country last year imported more than 2^0i000,000 worth of precious stones, $5,000,000 more than the year before. And those purchases were made without the assistance of the extinct race of bartenders, to each of whom a large diamond was as necessary as a white apron. \ tt"*” -a M. Millet, French scientist, would tear down the honey bee’s reputation built up by Maeterlinck, Lubbock and many others, back to Aristotle. • The bee is a dull, mechanical creature, says Millet; it does not know that it polenizes flowers and blossoms, does not even know which flowers have honey, thinks only of getting sugar. You can say the same ql -our human honey bees of industry. They build up civilization, make, wealth, -leisure and culture possible, but they don’t know it, or don’t care. They also are “only looking for sugar.” ' But like the bee, they are doing the work for which the Lord cre ated them, and that’s sufficient. Wm.
