Caesar founded in Rome what presently grew into:a daily city paper? It was up-to-date, too, even in its name, Acta Biurna—the Daily Events or Dal- ly Doings. . | At first. the Daily Events, or Acts, was published merely by setting up in the Forum a white board.on-which the news was inscribed.

A few years later, when Rome had be- come an empire. it regularly gave de- talled news of the imperial family... In- deed, the new emperor, Augustus. tak- ing Caesar's hint. used the Acts freely ! to promote his personal views. The natural result of all this was the demand for more accessible news.

Thus the Acts began to circulate commonly among the well-to-do, and Roman ladies are-men- | tloned as “reading the morning paper.” This “home edition” was ‘an enlarged issue of the Forum edition, and the vartous “publishers” supplemented the iews that they procured from the bul- letin board with additional news gath- ered from other-Sources, _Dictating to a number of copyists at once, they ber for one publisher was probably not above 12.

Here is a true and amusing story of the late Andrew Carnegie, as told by a young Irish sculptor who was en- gaged in decorative stone carving at Skibo castle, the multimitionaire’s magnificent Scottish residence. Carnegie was awakened every morn- ing by the shrill, skivling of bagpipes played under his window by his pri- vate piper. After breakfast the great man would appear in a long, fawn, sleeveless overcoat to view the prog- ress of the sculptor’s work. His fa- vorite ornament .in stone was a wild: cat, the Sutherland emblem, and a lot of these’ tierce-loooking animals had been carved on various parts of ‘the castle. One morning Mrs. Carnegie accompanied her husband on his usutl round of inspection, “Well,” said the late millionaire, painting swith pride to a piece of Work in’ which the wild. cats were. prominent, “what do yor think of it?” 4 « “Oh,” she replied, “1 don't like it at all; Ithink those wildcats are hor- rid.” Just for/a moment Carnegie’s face, expressed’ disappoinment. Then, struck by what he no doubt Tegarded as a happy. thought,he turned to. his wife and, with a whimsical” smile, said: “All right, my d , hever mind; we'll have tame.cats. instead.” * And -although stone cats continued to be carved whenever there was an aPPropriate. position for them in the decorative scheme, from that time on- ward they were, as Carnegie had de- clared, in order not to offend the sen- sibility of his wife, tame cats. / + Of the 40,000 acres/of orange trees in California, 30,000 are covered with navel orange téees.

ADS HY RACES ARE DIFFERENT Men’ of Science Say Physical Peculiar. t ities May Be Accounted for by Functional Derangements.. °. Discussing the ‘differences that dis- Chinese, or the negro, Prof. Arthur Keith recently explained that the key to the problem is to be found through studying the disturbances and disor- ders that occasionally ‘affect the { development and growth of the human body, especially those due to a fune- ! tional derangenient of one or more of the glands of tnternal secretion—the | pituitary, thyroid, adrenal and other | glands. In some manner not yet un derstood, the functions carried on in these glands regulate not only the dl- mensions of the body, but also the shape and size of each individual part. The racial features of the Mon- golian type are imitated by growing, Europeans who are affected by defi; clency disorders of the thyroid gland. ‘The features of the negro can best he accounted for by the nature of the} growth-regulating mechanism centered} in the thyroid and suprarenal glands European features are connected with a dominance In the functions of th pituitar Scientists hope that a thorough study of the’ still very obscure subject) of the so-called “ductless” glands will provide the means of regulating, te| some extent, the future evolution off the human .race. SHOES IN SONG AND STORY blumble Foot Coverings Have Figured / Largely in the Traditions of Various Nations. Shoes have their tradition of song and story, writes Wainwright Evans in National’s Business.. We all know Cinderella, but few” have heard of Rhodope, the Egyptian maiden: who ! had ‘the most beautiful foot to be found along the Nile. One day when she was at her bath a discriminating eagle flew down and carried off her sandal, which he dropped by way of suggestion at the. feet of the king. Of course the king put his heralds right on the job, took a hand in the search himself, found his Cinderella, and made her queen of Egypt. Our boys in France must have seen the many shrines and memorials around Soissons dedicated to St. Cris- pin, patron saint of shoemakers. The story goés that St. Crispin and his brother, Crisplanus, were Rgmans, who, aout the year 303. were con- verted to Christianity. Together they went north, into France, spreading the gospel, They. supported themselves by inaking shoes, which they sold to the natives at a very low price, Pre- sumably they undersold all competi- tors. At any ‘rate, possibly with the encouragement and connivance of the local chamber of commerce, they were finally put out of the way by the un- grateful proletariat. \ \ Bean Growing in Early Times. Theophrastus, writing 300 years be fore the Christian era, says that In Macedonia and Thessaty, beans were grown to be plowed Into the soil at flowering time. Varro about 50 years B. C. says: “Some things should be sown with a view not so inuch:to pre- sent profit as: to next year’s crops, be- cause when cut down and lett they im- prove the soil, Thus lupins. before they produce: many ‘pods, and, some- times. beanstalks, if the podding stage be not so far advanced that ft ts profitable to pull the beans, are usual- ly plowed into poop land.” "In Flan- ders, which has always. been_a model .to the rest of Europe in husbandry, this method has always :been, a great feature, This we learn from. the lec; ture read by Dr. E.
