Glass Globe Filled With
Water, Used as Magnifier
Some sort of magnifier must have
been in use from very early times, for
it does not seem possible that the an-
cient gem cutters could have accom-
plished their work without some aid.
Possibly it consisted of a glass globe
filled with water, for Seneca wrote in
A. D. 63: "Letters however small and
dim, are comparatively large and dis-
tinct when seen through a glass globe
filled with water.’’
It Is probable, too, that lenses of
glass were also used, though the first
mention of spectacles in which convex
glasses were employed is made by
Bernard de Gordon about 1307.
The first microscopes were very
simple in construction, consisting of
short tubes of any material that would
not admit the light, with a lense at
one end and a glass plate at the other.
On the glass plate was laid the object
to be examined. Descartes . invented
such a simple microscope in which the
rays of light were reflected on the ob-
ject by means of a concave mirror.
The highest development of the sim-
ple microscope was reached in the em-
ployment of lenses of very short focus.
Robert Hook, curator of the Royal so-
ciety when it was first formed in 1662,
made these lenses by fusing a thread
of glass until it formed a tiny bail,
the ball was then snapped off, stuck
Into wax and the remains of the stalk
ground away. The tiny balls were then
fixed with wax into a pin hole made
in a metal plate.
Horned Dinosaurs Roamed
America in Distant Past
There were as many as 37 different
species of the horned dinosaurs on the
American scene about a million years
ago, according to a scientist in the
New York Herald Tribune, and with
the exception of one species found In
western Asia they have thus far been
found only on this continent. The
Ceratopsia lived in great numbers
along the western border of a vast
Inland sea which extended from what
Is now the Gulf of Mexico Into north-
ern Alberta and Saskatchewan. They
were formidable looking monsters
with huge heads entirely out of pro-
portion to the rest of their compara-
tively short bodies. Skulls measuring
over eight feet In length have been un-
covered ; the average length of the
complete skeletons found vary from
17 to 21 feet.
The characteristic features of the
large head were the great horns, borne
j on the nose and above the eyes, and
the helmet-like crest which mantled
the neck. This bony crest, extending
frill-like, was in many species en-
hanced by horny protuberances.
These dinosaurs had shearing Jaws,
which looked somewhat like those of
a loggerhead turtle, for Ceratopsia
were plant eaters.
Rabbits Do Not Chew Cud
Hares and rabbits are members of
the rodent family and do not chew a
cud, although they move the jaws as
If ruminating or re-chewing. Cud chew-
ing animals belong to the ruminant
family. The cud chewing coney men-
tioned in Deuteronomy 14:7 and Levi-
ticus 11:5 evidently was an entirely
different animal from the English
coney (old name for a rabbit) although
there are species of’ hare in Palestine.

Old Race in Skyscrapers
A young German archeologist re-
ports having discovered vestiges of an
ancient civilization on the Arabian
peninsula that lived in skyscrapers
and possibly to have found the de-
scendants of the Queen of.Sheba. A
very ancient city found in Arabia re-
vealed the ruins of buildings 15 stories
high.
Coots Prefer Diving
A coot, if disturbed while resting
on the water, would much prefer to
dive than to fly. On account of the
small size of their wings these birds
have some difficulty in rising from the
surface of the water, hut diving is
easy as pie for them.

“KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES”'
Mother Octopus
Unlike most marine species, the fe-
male octopus stays with her eggs, her
arms turned over them, whilst her
syphon pipe, swaying from side to side,
plays a constant stream of fresh wa-
ter over them. At the end of the in-
cubatory period the female dies. An
octopus in captivity has been observed
watching a scallop slowly opening the
valves of its shells. When these were
completely open, the octopus, with
great rapidity, placed a stone it held
in its arm between them, thus pre-
venting the valves from closing. An-
other was observed, before retiring
into its lair, to kill a rock fish and
utilize It as bait for passing crabs—
the staple diet of the octopus.—Tit^"

Church That Own* Slave* ‘
A Christian church is one of the
largest owners of slaves in Abyssinia.
In other words—in the whole world.
This astonishing revelation is made
by the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines
Protection society, in an article on
slavery appearing in the Church Over-
seas. The church concerned is the
Christian Coptic church, the native
Christian church of Egypt, which has
450 churches and monasteries, ten
bishops in Egypt, one in Khartum, and
three in Abyssinia. There are still
5,000,000 men, women, and children
slaves in China, Abyssinia and Ara-
bia, Liberia, along tlie Persian gulf
and in Morocco.
