Land Erosion Serious
Matter to the Nation
Erosion continues to wash away the
soil resources of the nation. A recent
survey >f a typical small valley In
northeastern Kansas shows that 86
per cent of the land, comprising the
greater part of the valley, has lost
from 8 to -10 Inches of sol! since It
was cleared 40 years ago, tha United
States Department of Agriculture
reports.
Thirty-four acres had lost an aver-
age of 11 Inches of soil. 43 acres had
lost 18 Inches, 10 acres had lost 21
inches, 2H acres had lost 23 Inches
and 1H acres had lost 3U. feet of soil.
The “yardstick" for •measuring the
losses was found In a few remaining
patches of timber, where tlie soil was
as nature originally built It—a mellow,
rich silt loam almost black with
spongy humus, and capable of produc-
ing 75 bushels of corn an acre. Now
the land is very much less productive.
Much of It is overrun with weeds. In
the meantime the washing proceeds.

Korean Pockets Due to
Spread of Chris ti&nity
Christianity is re-pouslble for one
change In Korean dress—the nse of
pockets, according to Mrs. Bay K.
Smith of Chalryung. Korea, who says:
"There were no pockets In the old
Korean coat, but the Christian needed
a place for his Bible, for coming to j
church without a Bible Is practically
-unknown In Korea. Following Amert- j
can example he made a large pocket )
In his jucket, and later several on a
sleeveless coot or vest for his Bible j
and other prize treasures. But it Is )
not enough to carry the Bible j one’s '
hand or pocket. We have many who !
carry great sections, even whole books, I
in their heads and can recite without [
a mistake long passages. One man 1
walked a hundred miles to recite the
Sermon on the Mount to his pastor.”

Cyprus Load *f Deities
Cyprus is about .X'*S4 square miles
and la tlie largest Island of the Medt-
terr..oean except Sicily and Sardinia.
In the olden days it was an abode of
the Greek deities. Here the goda and
goddesses of old lived, loved and
fought. Astarte, Aphrodite. Venus, or
whatever yen are accustomed to call
the goddess ef love, fruitfulness, beau-
ty, and their attendant misfortunes,

Greece have been In Cyprus. Waves
of history have swept over It. each

Ancient Time Tellers
Devices for telling time are as old
as history Itself. The Greeks, points
out Modern Mechanics Magazine, had
the water clock, the Aztecs the cal-
endar stone, the Saxons of England
the candle clock, and other peoples
the hour glass and sun dlul. The first
alarm clock was developed soon after
gunpowder was invented. A sun dial
was placed over a miniature gun.
When the sun came to a certain hour
position the rays, focused on the fuse
port by the burning glass, Ignited the
powder. The chief differences In the
ancient and modern timepieces lie In
the mechanism, the magazine says.
Where the ancients put nature to use

Ancient Nevada City
The remains of a new “lost city"
have been discovered In the Moapa
valley, Nevadg, by representatives of
the Southwest museum.
The new lost city, the discoverer
said, wps about two and one-ha If
miles long, and belongs to the poet-
basket-making period dating toflclc t
least 1,300 years. It 1; believed to have
had a population of about 10,000 per-
sons Excavations thus far, he said,
have brought to light pit ’ n s, tur-

Origin ef Word “Hymn”
The word “hymn” was employed by
the ancient Greeks to signify a song
er poem composed In honor of gods,
heroes er famous men, or to be recited
an some Joyful occasion. But hymns
aim actually much older than any
Greece can show. The ancient Chi-
ne*# "hymned” the rnlgr of heaven;
Assyria, Egypt and India have all left
ua records of early hymns. The Ath-
enian dramatists (Euripides most fre-
quently) use the word and tts cognate
verb* ef odes In praise of conquerors
at the public games.—Kansas City

It Is very difficult to transport live
octopi even from place to place on the

cult problem since octopi relish email

j It la believed that sea snakes do not
grow much longer than 12 or 13 feet.

' near the coast of northwertern Aus-

of the water. These reptiles are poi-

Their food constats chiefly of fish.
"Oriental” Rags
Indistinguishable from rugs made In
Persia, oriental floor coverings have
been made In Germany for more than
73 years. Early in the 1830’s a party

returned to Cottbus, near Berlin, and
the product of the hands and looms
found their way principally to Amer-
ica. Only In 1913 was machinery In-
troduced, when it was found that the

but better than by hand. Most of
those sedt to America are sold as
