PAST OF ENGLAND
AERIAL PHOTOS TRACE
OLD ROMAN SITES
of Britain. It is conceded that the
science of air photography for archae-
1 ological purposes is still in its infancy,
but the results so far obtained are re-
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-
land will be continued, and though the
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
hoped that further inquiry will enable
a method to be applied to other ancient
sites,
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
raytice by the air force officer near Win-
chester.
Aerial photography has been used by
the American expedition which is
now 'working on the site of ancient
Carthage, on the north coast of Africa,
to plan a foundation line for the sub-
;tnerged mole which guarded the har-
bor of the Punic city destroyed by the
Romans.
Discovery Made by Chance.
The discovery was made more or
less, accidentally when an airman who
took photographs in the course of
his military work `eond on them cer-
tain strange markings. On ploughed
land these 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 "Punk's Song":
"See you the marks that show and
fade
Like shadows on the downs.?
Oh, those were the lines the flint -men
made
Ta guard their wondrous towns.
"And see you after the rain the trace
Of ditch and mound and wall?
Oh, that was a legion's camping place
When Caesar sailed from Gaul."
When the photos were submitted to
Mr. Crawford he was soon able to
identify the mysterious markings on
them as ancient British "lynchets," or
Sieid 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 di: ect-
ly descended, with modifications, from
the early Saxon system.
The Celtic system, as revealed by
the airplane photos, was a network of
small patches, rarely more than two to
three acres in size. In many cases
there could be seen upon the same sec-
tion nearby mounds and hollows of
tile river valleys, which they Cleared,
When the Saxon invaders arrived they'
destroyed the upland Celtic villages,
and when they settled down founded
tree -Villages along the line of the fer-
tiTeeriver vallayes, which they cleared,
introducing from Germany a system of
strip cultivation radically different
from the older British system.
Ancient Ramparts. Shown.
The airplane photos depicted pre-
Roman hilltop camps actually in a new
light, disclosing features, which were
wholly invisible from: the ground.
Within two camps photographed they
revealed a faint inner ring within the
outer ramparts, which appears uncon-
nected with the resit; and older.
1\Ir, Crawford wonders whether these
vestiges of neolithic works were not
ancient when the outer camps were
made. Little or nothing is known at
presenti'of the pre -bronze age of the
inhabitants of Britain, almost all re-
mains beingconnected with burial
places, while of the living there is
scarcely any trace, due to the fact that
subsequent invaders obliterated the
earlier settlements.
Seeing Without Eyes.
A Frenchman has lately startled the
world with the extraordinary theory
that the sightless may yet see —
through their skins!
The scientist is Dr. Farigoule, and
he points out that there is no scien-
tific law which hi itself opposes his
theory that man may be made to see
through his skin, even though he can-
not do so with Ma eyes.
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 out at night.
Many living things without ears, or
any apparatus corresponding to ears,
seem to have a fine sense of hearing,
It is a well=known 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
the eyes, but better than nothing.
It is not suggested that a man may
close his eyes and suddenly see
through his skin, but it is asserted
that a man wire 'cannot use his eyes
may be trained to use his skin instead,
and 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.
GUARD BABY'S HEALTH
lid THE SUMMER
The summer months are the most
dangerous to children. The complaints
of that season, which are cholera in..
fantum, colic, diarrhoea and 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

SYlPTO1S OF DEBILITY
How to Tell Whether Your Blood
Needs Revitalizing.
The symptoms of 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 tile 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
symptoms 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 pills through any
dealer in medicine or by mail, post-
paid, at 50c a box from The Dr. Wil-
liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

"Glass Island".
During the imprisonment of Napo..
leen 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 a circuit of hun-
dreds of miles.
Among others, one 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 of
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 lauded again at Tristan.
Sons and daughters were born, and
with their aid he was, able to extend
his agricultural operations so as to
have potatoes and mutton to sell to the
now more frequent vessels.
The island eventuate,' became a con-
venient calling -place for American
whaling -vessels, and was also 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 — hehad eighteen chil-
dren in all, but mostly girls rs
mained . with him until they grew to
man's estate, when several of them
chose themselves wives from among
the Portuguese inhabi`ants of the Cape I
of Good Hope, and settled for life
under the rule of their father, who
now styled himself Governor.
The hundredth child was born be-
fore the first death occurred In the
colony. The island is, now: under the
"governorship" of Glass' eldest._ song
and the population is nearly one -hum
deed and fifty.

The Last Straw.
Mr. Busiman was exasperated with
the telephone. 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 it was
"number «engaged," or the person he
wanted was out, or else he had been
suddenly cut off. At last he got
through.
"Ranee!" he said. "Is Mr. X—
there?"
"Yes," 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!"
As Usual.
Bits of broken nest came down from
the bird house on the pole and with it
a volley of indignant bird chatter.
"Well, I've had my lesson," cried
the feathered matron. "I'll never sub-
let this place for 'the summer again.
Seeath.e condition they've left it. in
Why, they even sharpened
their beaks on the ' oodworkl"
