SVfliTOflS OF DEBILITY Pictures Taken at Six Thous- and Feet Give Results for Research in Archaeology. A new epoch in archaeology has been opened up with the use of air. planes for photographing ancient sites. This is the opinion of O. G. S. Craw, ford, archaeologist with the British ordnance survey, as a result of his In- spection of snapshots taken for prac- tice by the air force officer near Win- chester. Aerial photography has been used by the American eipciiition which la now working on the site of ancient Carthage, on the north coast of Africa, to plan a foundation line for the sub- merged mole which guarded the har- bor of the Punic city destroyed by the Romans. Discovery Made by Chance. Th discovery was made more or tees accidentally when an airman who took photographs in the course of his military work 'ound on them cer- tain strange markings. On ploughed land thes-o appeared as bands of lighter colored soil, forming a pattern of Irregular squares and rectangles. The clew to the nature of these mark- ings is indicated in the lines of Rud- yard Kipling's "Puck's Song": "See you the marks that show and fad Like shadows on tin downs? Oh, thoe-e wore the lines the flint-men made To guard their wondrous towns. "Anil see vow after tho rain the trace Of ditch and mound and wall? Oh, thai ws a legion's camping place When Caesar sailed from Gaul." When the photos were submitted to Mr. Crawford he was soon abl to Mortify the mysterious markings on them as ancient British "lynche-ts," or field boundaries, which were formed during the Roman occupation of Brit- ain and perhaps some centuries be- fore. The ancient British system of agriculture was entirely different from that obtaining to-day, which is direct- ly descended, with modifications, from the early Saxon system. The Celtic sys-tem, as reveaied by thp airplane photos, was a network of siuiill patches, rarely more than two to thivo acres In size. In many cases thor? could be seen upon tho same sec- tion nearby mounds auj hollows of tile river valleys, which they cleared, \Vl:eu the Saxon Invaders arrived they destroyed the upland Celtic villages, and when thuy settled down fouuded new villages along th? line of the fer- tile river vallayes. which they cleared, introducing from Ormany a system of trip cultivation radically different from the older Uritls-h system. Ancient Ramparts Shown. The airplane photos depicted pre- Roman hilltop camps actually m a new lUrht. disclosing features which were wholly invisible from tho ground. Within two camps photographed they revealed a faint iniwr ring within the outer ramparts, whk'h appears uncon- nected with the rest, and older. Mr. Crawford wonders whether these vestiges of neolithic works were not ancient when the outer camps were made. Little or nothing is known at pneent of the pre-bronze age of the inhabitants of Britain, almost all re- mains being connected with burial places, while of the living there is scarcely any trace, due to the fact that Invaders obliterated the settlements; Now there la some prospect that the , airplane may help solve the problems i connected with the earliest inhabitants j of Britain. It is conceded that the science of air photography for archae- ological purpose* is still in its infancy, but the results so far obtained are re- 1 garded as most encouraging. The ' height does not seem an Important factor, as 6.000 feet gave good aver- ' age results. The experiments In Eng- 1 ' land will be continued, and though the i , presence of chalk In the soil of the valleys where the prehistoric settle- ments were established Is a factor which Is not present elsewhere. It is j hoped that further inquiry will enable | a method to be applied to other ancient sites. Seeing Without Eyes. A Frenchman has lately startled the . world with the extraordinary theory that the sightless may yet see through their skina! The scientist IB Dr. Farlgoule. and be points out that there Is no sclen- . tide law which in its. -If opposes his j theory that man may be made to see j through his skin, even though he can- not do so with his eyee. There is scientific proof that two creatures which have no eyes at all can yet see. These are the ordinary earthworm and a certain beetle which only comes- cut at night. Many living things without ears, or any apparatus corresponding to ears, seem to have a line sense ot hearing. It is a well-kuown fact that our skin not only feels, but breathes, and to a certain extent does the same work as the kidneys in expelling waste matter. | Dr. Farigoule states that the skin is an organ of sight, not as efficient as j the eye*, but better than nothing. It Is not suggested that a man may | close bis eyes and suddenly see- 1 through his skin, but it is asserted that a man who cannot use his eyes i may be trained to use his- skin instead, aud by this means distinguish colors and shapes and even read figures and letters. Scientists are learning new things about the human skin every year, so that these wonders may yet come true. How to Tell Whether Your Blood Needs Revitalizing. The symptoms ot general debility vary according to the cause, but weak- ness is always present, a tendency to perspire and fatigue easily, ringing in the ears, sometimes black spots pass- ing before the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakefulness caused by Inability to stop thinking and unrefreshing sleep. The cause of the trouble may be some drain on the system, or it may be mental or physical overwork, some- times Insufficient nutrition due to digestive disturbance. If you have any or all of these symptom? try building up the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as the new blood courses through your veins there should be an increase in your appetite, a better digestion and soon a renewal of strength and vigor. You can get these pilla through any dealer in medicine or by mail, post- paid, at 50c a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Berlin Theatre Tickets Based On Coat of Food.

Th complaints of that season, which are cholera In- fantum, colic, diarrhoea an.l dysentery come on so quickly that often a little one Is beyond aid before the mother realizes he is ill. The mother must be on her guard to prevent these troub- les, or If they do come on suddenly to banish them. No other medicine is of such aid to mothers during hot wea- ther as Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the stomach and bowels and are absolutely safe. Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville.

During the imprisonment of Napo- leon on the island of St. Helena, the British stationed garrisons on all of the out-of-the-way rocks In the South Atlantic Ocean within ^ circuit of hun- dreds of miles. Among others, cne named Tristan da Cunha was chosen as the residence of a company of British soldiers. Upon the death of Napoleon these precautionary measures were no lon- ger necessary, and as the barren rock of Tristan does not lie in the path of vessels bound round the Cape, the gar- rison was taken off. Among the soldiers, however, was one Glass, who had conceived the idea of settling on this desolate island after the manner of Robinson Crusoe. Escaping to the mountains, he was left behind when his comrades sailed to the Cape. He remained for three years in soli- tude, cultivating a little garden, and amusing himself by exploring the mountain fastnesses and hunting goats At the end of this period an outward bound India-man, which had got out oX her latitude, hove in sight, saw his signal, and bore him to the Cape. There he remained long enough to earn an outfit for the novel life to which he intended to return. He mar- ried, engaged passages for himself and wife in a schooner bound for St. Hel- ena, and was landed again at Tristan. Sons and daughters were born, and with their aid he was abJe to extend I his agricultural operations so as to have potatoes and mutton to sell to the now more frequent vessels. The island eventual"/ became a con- venient calling-place for American whaling-vessels, and was aJso visited ! occasionally by homeward-bound India ' men. The colony received accessions from the sailors of these vessels, and the newcomers in time became husbands to the old patriarch's daughters. His sons --- he had eighteen chil- dren In all. but mostly girls re- \ mained with him until tlrey grew to man's estate, when several of them chose thenis-elves wives from among the Portuguese liihabi*:>.iits of the Cap* of Good Hope, and settled for life uiuler tie rule of their father, who now styled himself Governor. The hundredth child was born be- fore the first death occurred in the j colony. The Island Is now under the "governorship" ot Glass' eldest son, j and the population is nearly one hun- dred and fifty. MONEY ORDERS.

Ten times that morn- Ing he had tried to get on to a number, and each time something had prevent- ed him from speaking. Either tt was "number engaged." or the person he : wanted was out, or else he hud been suddenly cut off. At last he. got through. "Halloa:" h said. "Is Mr. X there?" "Yesv" replied a voice. "Do you want to speak to him?" This was the last straw. Back came the reply, In icy tones-: "Oh .no! Nothing of the sort. I merely rang up to hand him a cigar!"

Prof. W. de Sitter of the University of L/eyden, Paris, has found die earth, does not rotate as a rigid body but quivers like a bal! of stiff Jelly. The quivers, he believes, make distances between points on the earth's surface vary erratically. That, ho says, ex- plains why time signals exchanged be- tween observatories show discrepan- cies as great as several tenths of a second.
