There are "hanging stones" or* t Btonehenges in Southern America and Southern Africa, all believed lO be the work of the Phoenicians, fthose city, Atlantis, lies, so we sup* . pose, beneath the waters of the. Atlantic. So it is possible that Stonehenge and other similar temples , were erected by people of the Phoe- Oician Empire, who were sun-worahipers and members of a great civilization, states a correspondent ja Pearson's London Weekly. After the destruction of Atlantis, it is thought that^ite Yjnet^is defended IWfffTEe Pnoenicians, for . the names are remarkably similar. - Stranger still is the fact that the % people of Biddulph Moor, in Staf- ' ©Pdshire, are "different." Their •rtd-jpld hair and straight features . G&m to prove that they do not ff5TH the native stock,. '. " •.. It is said that, centuries ago, a Lord of Biddulph engaged Venetian Stone-masons to build a church, and they settled down in the district •j>nri foynjed a cQlony, so it is possible that those living on Biddulph <Upor £re descendants of those Venetian masoni. It haj ^een said that, the Phoenicians were X ra£e of people with red-gold hair add fair, straight features, so that if all this 'is true, there is the startling possibility that descendants of the inhabitants of the Lost City of At- • laEHs are living in England. Jew's Harp Lonf in Use Throughout All Europe - The Jew's harp is a small musical instrument/known for centuries all over Europe and sometimes called "Jew's trump." Attempts have been Made to derive "Jew's" from "jaws" or "jeu" (game, amusement, or play), but, though there is no apparent reason for associating the instrument with the Jews, it is cei* , tain that "Jew's" is the original form, says a writer in the Indianapolis News. The instrument consists of a slender tongue of steel riveted at one end of the base of a pear-shaped steel frame; the otfter end of the tongue being left free so that it can be set in vibration by the player, while firmly pressing the • branches of the frame against his . At the beginning of the Nineteenth Ctntury Heinrich Scheibler, in Germany, achieved astonishing effects fay employing a number of Jew's harps combined in one instrument which he called an aura. Another German virtuoso, Eulenstein, a native of Wurttemberg, created a sensation in London in 1827 by playing on no fewer than sixteen of the ins t r u m e n t s . In 1 8 2 8 S i r C h a r l e s Wheats tone published an essay on the acoustics of the Jew's harp in the Quarterly Journal of Science. ••arch for the Trae Cross The cross did not become the IBrmbol of Christianity until the Fourth century. The true cross is laid to have been found during the feign of Tiberius when St. James was the bishop of Jerusalem. We have all heard of the finding of the three crosses by the Empress Helena in 328, says a writer in Pearson's London Weekly. It is mentioned that she did not know which . Was the true cross. To determine which was the true one she had the * hody of a dead man placed on one Of the crosses. Contact with it had fio effect upon him, so he was placed <an the second cross with the same result. When he was laid on the third cross he immediately came to Hfe. We are told she sent part of tfie true cross to Constantine and part to Rome, where it is still preserved. The rest was buried.in .the Church which she had built over the site of Golgotha. MSHt By L. L.

Her ambition' Was to go on the stage and like so many others, she had star dust in her eyes. Again, like so many others who come here similarly blinded, her purse was thin. Back home, she'd worked in a millinery shop. Weary of tramping from agent to agent, she got a job making hats. One of the shop's customers is an actress, * somewhat well-known. When the youngster learned her identity, she had a heart to heart talk with her. At the conclusion the actress asked her how much she got and was told $35 a week. At that the actress wanted to know if there Wasn't another opening in that shop. In the last five years her earnings have averaged less than $15. Thfe little girl from the West is plyitig her needle contentedlysince b«ck home her weekly pay was $15. - • • -- • • - • _ Names attd Events: Early this year the namer of rooms--his identity seems to be a closely guarded secret--at the Hotel Montclair bestowed on the Dew banquet hall, the title of 't^ani# Hfcortf." When the decorators were about halfway 'through with their work, the Spanish civil war broke out and good taste made such a designation taboo. Accordingly, the" room namer decided to redecorate and call the hall the "King Edward"VIII Room." And when the room was about finished, King Edward abdicated. So someone else took a hand and supplied a name, which pays unintentional tribute to a modern prophet of coming event*. It's now the "Crystal Room." ^ FOR SALE--Seed Buckwheat, $3.00 per. hundred.

C., and who was famous in .vk'^fntiquitjr for his great wealth, was king of Lydia, in Asia Minor. According to tradition, his wealth was / principally obtained from the golden • ^ sands of the River Pactolus, which Sowed through his dominions. The i true source of his riches was prob- " • • ably the industry of his people, who ---••'•-Were not only great producers but great traders. There is no record cf the extent of his wealth, but there is some account of his landed properties, from which an ingenious ' % ' .ercheologist has estimated them to -r-f-^fiave been worth between $8,000,000 'and $9,000,000.
