SEARCH FOR A STOLEN l GREEK MARBLE HEAD| Supposed to Be Hidden In Railroad Laborers’ Camp. Lincoln, Neb.—In a box car camp of €reek railroad laborers somewhere along the line of the Union Pacific rail- road there isa priceless marble head of the Greek goddess of health, carved by a Greek sculptor of the fourth century B. C., and stolen from the museum at Tegea, Greece, where the balance of the statue of the goddess still stands. The governors of Nebraska and Wy- oming have been asked to investigate and see if they cannot locate the miss- ing head. The request comes from Sec- retary of State Lansing and is made at the request of the Greek govern- ment at Athens. There are thousands of Greek labor- ers on western railroads, and some one of these is thought to have stolen the head of the goddess before he left Greece. The request from the state department does not give the details of the theft. The head is thirty centi- meters in height, according to the de- scription inclosed in the request that a search of the railroad camps be made, Papyrus Books. Early writers made use of linen or eotton fabrics, of skins and even of scales of fishes for writing. For a long period papyrus was used, the books be- ing made in rolls, being about one and ore-half feet wide and sometimes fifty feet long. Papyrus was a bulrush, growing ten feet high, found in the marshes of Egypt; from its inner pith the form of paper called papyrus was made. DPapyrus sheets were neatly Jjoined, attached to a stick and rolled upon it (whence we have our word “volume,” from the Latin volvere, to roll). The titles were written on tags attached to the sticks or inscribed on the outside of the rolls. The rolls were ¥ept in round wooden boxes. Named In the Bible. There are mentioned in the Bible the names of nineteen different precious stones, six metals, 104 trees and plants, thirty-five animals, thirty-nine birds, six fishes, eleven reptiles, twenty in- sects and other small creatures. “Central” Appreciates Your Kindness There are three operators concerned in every telephone call—you, the party you are talking to and “central.” All three parties must co- operate if the best service is to be had. The telephone operators are human, just as you are. Being human, they appre- clate kindness and courtesy, but resent unkindness and glscourtesy Just as any of us 0. Kindness begets kindness, courtesy creates courtesy and patience encourages-patience. If you wish to get the best out of your telephone, make it a point to be kind and courteous to the operators.
