HISTORY TOLD IN MOSAICS
Beautiful Examples of Early Art t
Be Found In the Ruined Temples
Ij. of Eoypt
One of the earliest attempts at nr
tlstlc expression wns through tho me
dium of the mosaic. Uulns of that li
centious city of tho East, Nineveh,
contain examples of tho nrt. Mosa
ics aro found frequently In the ru
ined temples of Egypt.
It wns In drecco that tho nrt was
first used to any great extent. All
-through tho rocky little peninsula
may be found tho henuty of tho Hel
lenic temperament expressed In mo
saic The erectheum, In Athens, con-
Htructeu about tho fifth century B.
0., contains many exquisite speci
mens worked in. both glass und mar
ble. Mosaic did not reach Its highest de
velopment, however, until tho power
of Home had bloomed to tho full. Tho
Romans not only utilized this form
of art themselves to a great extent,
but Bprend. It all through their con
aveicd territories. One of tho ways
rled out on an appreciable scale In
tho United Stntes, Is tho construction
nnd permnnent casting molds for tho
production of the lighter kinds of
metnl castings. In making these
molds, tho ground nshestos Is mixed
with a suitable binder and pressed
Into a form or flunk over a master pat-,
ern, nnd Is then stoved slowly up to a !
temperature of 800 degrees F. This
preliminary drying removes the bulk ,
of the moisture, nnd establishes the
binder. The pattern Is then removed,
nni the rorm nented up ngain to n
temperature several hundred degrees
In excess of the temperature to which
tho form will be usually exposed.
After this trentment the forms or
molds nre ready for use, and, It la
said, mny be employed Indefinitely;
nt any rate, ns many as 1,700 castings
hnvo been mndo from one of these
permnnent molds.
Spread of Species.
One of the problems that confronts
the naturalist Is that of accounting for
tho distribution bC identical forms of
life through widely separated loeull'
ties. Investigation frequently shows
that this has been accomplished in
many ways thnt appear quite simple
when once discovered, although one
would hardly hao thought of them,
Somo Interesting facts gleaned con
corning the dispersion of fresh-water
mollusks account for their appearance
In remote nnd Isolnted ponds. Water
fowl play an Important part In this
work. Ducks have been known to
carry mussels attached to their feet
u hundred miles or more. Bivalve
mollusks not Infrequently cling to the
toes of wading birds, nnd nre thus
transported for considerable dis
tances.

Some gossips of Ilndinore learned
thnt Miss Teresa Martin hail been
seen In the next town pmrlmslng a
pipe, nn ash tray and a fancy smok
ing stand. At once In their Inquisi
tive, bnbbllng circle the decision was
arrived at that tho lady In question
was about to become a devotee- of the
weed.
A little later, after a shopping visit
to tho city, one of her packages was
left In the train. The conductor re
stored It to her, but not until he had
Informed his wife that It ,had con
tained n pnlr of ' lounging slippers,
man's size, nnd the Imputation sprend
that Miss Mnrtln had n beau and wns
going to get married. Several busy-'
bodies visited Miss Martin hoping to
get n sldit of the suspicious articles
enumerated, but obtained no sight of
the same.
"Those old cnts!" volubly denounced
little Matilda Brown, the maid whom
Miss Martin employed, nnd who wns
true blue nnd full of love townrd the
kind mistress who treated her as con
siderately' as she would a relative.
She was tnlklng to n neighbor. "The
Idea! They Just enmo snooping
nround to see If they could get hold
of some mean thing to say about the
loveliest lady In the world. Why
haven't they got sense enough to guess
that Miss Mnrtln has been making
some presents to her cousins down nt
Evansvllle. who got married last
month?"
But Mntllda's mind was full of
secret unenslness while she thus de
fended her beloved mistress, and she
marveled at a grcnt mystery concealed
within the precincts of the pretty little
cottage home. For neither smoking
outfit nor slippers had been sent away.
They reposed at that very moment In
room which recently Miss Mnrtln j
hnd transformed from n library Into
a den, nnd n mnn's den, nt that. She i
kept that especial apartment securely
locked up when strangers were nround, 1

from Matilda. Bit by bit she hnd fur
nished It, nnd ns various articles of
comfort and luxury adapted to man
kind solely were set In place, Matilda
solved the enigma to her own satis

Once, Confucius wns passing by the
slope of Tal Shan. He encountered n
woman who was crying mournfully
by a grave. Tho master leaned upon
tho rail of a cart In a position of re

Then he sent Tso Lu to question
her, saying: "Ah, thy crying seems of
great borrow nnd grief."
"Yes, nlasl" answered tho woman,

Proper Use of Handkerchief. I
The Incorrect use of the handker- j
chief is, nccordlng to Dr. William S.
Tomlln, one of the most prolific
cnuses of ncute disease of the middle
ear, with consequent deafness. He
says In the Indlannpolls Medical Jour
nal that the average adult constricts
the nostrils when he blows his nose,
thus producing extraordinary com
pression of the nlr In the nnso
pharynx. When he hns a cold there Is Infec
tion nnd swelling nround the eustach
ian tubes, and the effort to expel the
compressed nlr through the constrict
ed nostrils Is likely to blow some of
the Infected mucus Into these tubes,
thus starting the trouble.
When a person has a cold he should
sleep on his side and not on his back,
for thus he will establish good drain,
age from the eustachian tubes.
