some of the northernmost tombs, agree
ing with evidence, as yet not fully devel
oped, which the excavators have re
marked amid tho ruins of Ihe city. This
Is accordant with the last historical re
ferenco to Meroe, foud In an Ethiopian
text published by Bent, which records
tho sack of the city, apparently Its final
overthrow, In the ovoth century A. D.
Adjoining the royal palaces In which a
considerable hoard of traditional gold
treasure and Jewels of the Ethiopian
kings has been recovered there was found
an extensive' e erica of buildings forming
the royal baths. The excavation of these
Is still proceeding, but so far as It has
gone, It ha boon rewarded with remark
able and limtructlvo finds. Statues of lo
cal execution based upon familiar classi
cal Idoas decorate tho oolonnado and the
facade of Its central feature; this was
a sort of plunge and ehpwer bath, fed by
cascades of water from a system ot stor
age tanks and water conduits.
Near at hand a eeml-clrcular room with
carved stono seats corresponds to tho

relation to the chambers will be a chief
featuro ot the Investigations.
Just to the north and still within the
royal city, though not contemporary with
its original buildings, ' a small Bo man
temple wa found, ot the simple design
which one might readily associate with a
detached garrison ot Boman soldiers or
a small colony of artisans with special

The story of Queen Candace's ancient
capital should make' Interesting reading
when the excavations now in progress
under Prof. Qarstang are completed. The
royal city of Meroe lies between Aabara
and Khartum, on the N'jle.
The story of these discoveries Is Indeed
one ot the most romantic pages vt mod
ern research; no one, ujilens it were Prof.
Sayse, had Imagined or could have In
ferred how extencive ihe ruins ot the
city were, nor how remarkable In char
actor. When the excavators first arrived,
three or four seasons ago. the only visible
trace of ancient ha" Jlwork was a simple
line of wall and - three or four carved
stone rami in the sama vicinity.
Now, however, all Id changed; the stone
rams are found to line the avenuo ot ap
proach toward the great Temple ot Am
nion, which in more ancient history was
one of the chief features of the city. The
stone wall which rose In Isolated ruin Is
found to be only a portion of a great en
closure, inside which there are coming to
light the stone built palacos, official
buildings and the royal baths which
form the royal city pt tradition.
Tha broken potsherds begin to tell their
story and to disclose to expert examlna
tion three main successive periods ot lo
ca activity; the first subject to Egyptian
Influence, the second marked by an in
flux or Greek Ideas, and the third sug
gcstlng a Boman occupation or colony.
The historical material confirms these
evidences, showing tho' city to have lieen
founded about the eighth century B. C,
possibly when Jlhe Ethiopian power In
Egypt began to decline before the ad
vance 01 Assyria, impelling me King ana
his court to seek the security ot a, refuge
further up the Nile than their previous
capital of Napata afforded.

SOME REMARKS ABOUT BOYS
Soma Thlnsra Piped by Wlsencrea
Before, Still Boys Aro
Boys.
Boys are fine things that grow into
men if not carefully watched. Some of
them grojy Into sissies, but that Is even
worse. w
By losing a great deal that he should
have and gaining a few very desirable
things a boy becomes a man.
There Is only one human feelinsr
stronger than a boy's desire to be a man,
and that la a man'a desire to be a boy
again. ;
The man knows he got cheated hor
ribly when he swapped boyhood for
manhood.
A boy knowa more when ho Is It thaA
ho even suspects when he Is 42.
If a man of 40 knew halt' aa much as
his 18-year-old son himself knowa the
world would be simply burning with
wlndom.
It you want a good, earnest, lifelong
enemy, offend a boy about 9 years old
needlessly.
It takes a whole lot of a man to apolo
gize to a boy when ho finds he has done
the lad an injustice.
Tho modern boy, in most Instances, is
the sop ot a man who ' knew nothing1
about automobiles -when he was a boy.
Yet the son knows more about motor
cara than Henry Kord would know if he
lived to bo 106.
The boy of today has a good deal ot
trouble with his father, but patience on
his part can dlsctpllno father all right.
The present day boy Is never struck
by his parents except In self-defense.
What we timartles are saying wisely
In print nowadays about boys and things
other wiseacres were saying soven or

ARKANSAS HILL PREACHERS
Uxponnders of Scripture Strnnitely

The preacher of the hills works. Ills

appointed library on theology, but behind
the plow handles with the lines around
his neck, urging old Beck down the corn
or cotton rows, or to the music of re
sounding blows of his axe, as ho splits
hla 400 rails a day to fence the new clear

sermons like he reads a fairy tale. He
asks for little for his work and gets less.
He preaches for the good that he can do
and for the glory ot God. He la a
Christian martyr.
The preacher of the hills, from whom
many blessings flow, but to whom few
return. Is In a clans by himself and a true
character of the mountain country. We
find him always a man ot mature or de

on his countenance. With hair white or
atroaked with gray y with kindly eye and
ever-ready hand outstreched to help the

He Is a passing shadow in ' mountain

of the meager competence, or none, that
it promlacs. Invariably wo -find him liv
ing high up on some ridge or plateau, cut

little hill farm, from which his real living
comes.- He never lives in the bottoms:
thoughts como to him better nearer the
azure heavens. H6 stands out strong- for
the old-time religion.
The cults and the isms and tho new.
fangled Interpretation ot the Blblo do
not appeal to him. He preaches tho doo
trine of the Bible unadulterated. Hell is
a placo of everlasting perdition and heaven
a celestial palace. He doesn't only preach
It, but believes it clear down to the toes

with such force, with such a dead cer
tainty and with such a clear understand'
Ins that he mokes hla congregratlons bo

Some of tho old white-haired parsons ot
the hills, with their simple language,
their unassuming manner of delivery,
their quaint expressions and their deep
and undying faith In their religion, could
convert a whole city congregratlon com

Ho has the same strong faith in hla land
that he has In his religion. His place is
well kept always, a residence clean and
neat, with a cosy little front yard. His
barn Is full of hay, his cribs full ot corn
and there la always meat in the smoke

a large family to support. Prayers are
held every night in winter around the old
fireplace full of snapping, burning- logs In

up to him not only as a spiritual adviser,
but as a physical one as well. He Is call

to lawsuits; family squabbles that would
end In divorces; to advise as to seed and

the last sad rites ot death and to console
the bereaved. He Is the busiest man in

InterestlnK unit Corlonn Datn on
the Distinctness .of Per
ception. Men of science have collected Interest
ing and curious data with reference to
the distinctness of perception In eyesight
and ns to Its limitations comparing other
senses with the sense of vision and hu
man eyesight with the eyesight of in
sects. In many cases the drift of the inquiry
has been simply to ascertain how near
togtthcr one can place two objects and
still perceive them distinctly as two.
In very close proximity these objects
aptar to become one. A specialist has
damned that he can with the unaided
cyv distinguish the lines ruled In glass
thk. are only one-fifty-thousandth of an
lntu apart, but Le Conte has limited the
power of the eye to distinguish lines to
onc-one-thousandth ot an Inch.
To show how Immensely superior Is the
penss of sight In defining single things,
one can try the sense of touch In com
parison with it The two points of a pair
of compasses placed three Inches apart
on the least sensitive parts of the body
will be felt as a single prick.
With the aid of the microscope the
human eye can discern single objects
whese diameter is only about one-one-liundred-and-elght-thousandth
ot an Inch.
It has been said that the eye of a fly
can distinguish an object one-nve-mu-llonth
of an inch in diameter.
What we call the "eye of a fly" Is
really a compound eye made up of nu
merous lenses. Of these the common
house fly has something like 4,009 Jn two
eyes. The, structures of these lenses are
well known, tho optical part of each con
sisting ot two lenses, which, combined,
form a doublo convex lens.
That each lens acts as a separate eye
can be easily proved by detaching the
whole ot the front of th'e compound eye,
and by manipulation with a microscope
it 1b not difficult to examine a photo
graph or other object through It. .When
this is done a distinct Image is seen in
each lens.
It has been shown that each lens re
flects but a small portion of the Image
looked at, and that It requires the com
bined action of the 4,000 lenses of the
fly to produce the same effect as that
seen by the one human eye. The human
eye is, therefore, a more perfect optical
instrument than the eye of the fly.
Scientists who have devoted consider
able attention to the investigation of
compound eyes have formed no opinion
that would lead to the conclusion that
their power ot vision with respect to
small objects exceeds that of. the simple
eyes of the higher animals.
Tlie Images of objects formed In the
separate lenses composing the compound
eye are proportionally small, and the
question whether .insects can seo smaller
objects than animals furnished with single
eyes is not a question of optics, but of
the sensitiveness of the optic nerve and,
consequently, a matter of mere con
jecture. Washington Star.
