Bemorralc Waldo, “Bellefonte, Pa., September 2, 1927. - Marvelous Stone Car in Old Indian Temple When the Mohammedans invaded the kingdom of Vijayanagar in the Sixteenth century, they wrought tre- mendous havoc on all the great guild- ings of that great city, says a writer in a Calcutta paper. Today, as one rambles over it, there is hardly to be seen a structure that does not show evidence of the iconoclastic proclivi- ties of the invaders. It is interesting to note that one of the unique structures among the ruins, a temple car made of stone, has ap- parently been untouched. This is the more striking as the temple, in the courtyard of which the car stands, has been terribly treated, some of the finest carving in the whole city being broken and shattered out of all shape. This car is to be fonnd in the vicinity of the Vitthalaswami temple, not far from the river, After first appearance one is in- clined to think the car has been carved out of a solid block of stone, but a closer examination shows this is not so. The joints between the various parts are wonderfully well done, and unless one looks at the structure care- fully it is not surprising the impres- sion of solidity should be given. The pilgrims who visit the place believe that they obtain merit by turning round the wheels, which are also made of stone. As a result of this devotion the axle has become very much worn. Two elephants of stone stand in front of the car. Ups and Downs Dr. Marvin Shie, who, at the Amer- fcan Medical association’s convention in Washington, exposed the danger to the health of tattooed permanent flushes and tattooed red lips, said at a dinner in Cleveland: “Our beauty doctors sometimes dam- age a woman's constitution as much as her bank account. “I heard a story the other day. A man said: “‘I understand that Mrs. Maturin Mayhew, the society leader, has had her face lifted.’ “‘Is that so?” said a second man. 9 don’t see any difference.’ “ ‘Well,’ said the first man, ‘it fell again, I hear, when the beauty doctor sent in his bill.” Qualified Praise “Uncle Joe” Cannon's biography, written at his own request by his sec- retary, L. W. Busbey, is the subject of many amusing anecdotes of American politics. Clinton Brainerd vouches for this one. Cannon was once accosted by a mew member of the house who had just made his maiden speech. On being asked if he approved of it, “Uncle” Joe shifted his cigar to the other side of his mouth and answered judicially : ‘You said many many new things.” good things, and “Thank you, Mr. Speaker,” said the | new representative. “But,” continued the venerabic speaker, “the good things were not new and the new things weren't good.” Early Form of Banjo the existence of instruments of the (ute or guitar kind implies a certain grade of knowledge and culture among people who know how to stretch strings over scundboards and to determine the required intervals by varying the vibrating length of the strings. Such instruments found in use by savage or very uncivilized peo- ples suggest their introduction through political or religious cen- quest by a superior race. The Arans may thus, or by trade, have bestowed a guitar instrument on the negroes of western Africa and the Senegambian “bania” may be, as Mr. Carl Eagel suggests, the parent of the American negro’s banjo. Uncle Sam’s Islands * “ihe Philippine islands were ceded .0 the United States by the treaty of Paris, December 10, 1898, following the Spanish-American war. By the terms of this treaty the United States paid to Spain $20,000,000 in connec- tion with the relinquishment of all claims to the Philippines, Porto Rico and Guam, and under a later treaty of November 7, 1900, a further pay- ment of $100,000 was made to Spain for the cession to the United Staies of further islands of the Philippioe archipelago.

Harrogate, Tenn.—Pictvresque Cum- berland gap, Tennessee-Virginia-Ken- tucky, is to loom in the limelight at an early date if plans mature which are now under way. It has not been many months since the country was attract- ed by plans to carve the figures of Gen. Robert E. Lee and his staff on the mountain of stone near Atlanta. This time it is planned to carve the full figure of Abraham Lincoln on the mighty limestone peaks towering above Cumberland gap and surround- ing valleys. The figure of Lincoln will be more than a hundred feet high and will be carved out of the huge walls which overhang the Dixie highway, jutting out over forest, town and valleys. A nationally known sculptor visited Cumberland gap recently and was charmed with the prospect of earving a masterpiece which would attract Lincoln lovers far and wide. He is making plans and specitications for this work of art and believes that it can be done within two years’ time. To Clear Away Timber. When the figure is carved ana stands out in bold relief the timber will be cleared from the Dixie high- way leading up to the feet of the moun- mental and gigantic figure and the slopes sown in grass. Then limestone steps will be built leading up the slope, making a sort of shrine where men and women and children may come and view the work of art and the scenic grandeur of the cascades and forests below. The inspiration came from the Lin <oln Memorial university. Indeed, the | very precipice on which the figure will be carved is on the grounds of the Lincoln Memorial university and may be seen from the campus. To carve this figure on the over aanging cliffs it will be necessary to tie strong ropes to overhanging trees and let the workmen down on scaffold- ing a hundred feet or more. All mate- rials, tools and supplies will have to be carried up back of the mountain and let down over Pinnacle peak, hun- dreds of feet above even the cliffs themselves. Pinnacle ‘peak towers more than a thousand feet above the base of the craggy slopes where the form of Lincoln will appear in stone. Due to the ruggedness of the slopes and the steepness of the mountainside, it will be necessary for tools and sup- plies to be carried to the top by man power, as cars cannot negotiate the grade. This will be the culmination of a se les of historic events which cluster around the village of Cumberland gap, for, indeed, though the town dates back into the dim and distant past, even beyond the beginnings of Knoxville, Nashville, Chattanooga and Lexington, it has scarcely outgrown the village class. Cumberland Gap in History. Notwithstanding the fact that Cum Jeriand Gap ean number not more than a thousand souls, the place has a halo of glory about it and has con- tributed its part in the making of na- tional history. liven before the in- trepid pioneer, Daniel Boone, piloted the ancestry of the great Lincoln through the gap into the bluegrass region of Kentucky, Doctor Walker stood on Pinnacle peak and named the region the Cumberlands, after the duke of Cumberland, and the gap he named the Cumberland gap. Then it happened that the three states of Virginia, Kentucky and Ten- nessee joined hands on the peak over- looking the very precipice where the figure of Lincoln will be carved. and as tourists pass over the Dixie high- way under. Pinnacle peak—and they come from everywhere—they can gaze on the figure of Lincoln and gather some of the inspiration which has led many a youth from his humble cabin through the Lincoln Memorial univer- sity up the heights to achievement, The face of the mountain precipice «8 peculiarly suited to such a work of art. It is as if a mighty hand had cut the mountain in two, like a loat ot bread, leaving limestone ledges jut- ting out 2,000 feet, on top of which is Pinnacle peak, from which one may see mountain ranges as far away as Chattanooga and North Carolina, and it is on this mountainside that the figure of the emancipator will be carved, overshadowing the campus of the Lincoln Memorial university as a perpetual reminder of him who had “malice toward none and charity for all.” ‘When the clouds of civil war hung ike a dismal thunder-cloud over the nation Cumberland gap was one of the scenic points. Mighty armies con- tended for that ground because it was the gateway through the mountains between the North and the South, Many of the old trenches remain to this day, and the figtre of Lincoln will overlook some of the “bloody ground” made famous by Civil war struggles, and, indeed, will look down upon “Hell's Half Acre,” famous In history and story as a place of conflict in the war and also because it has heard the crack of the feudists’ rifles in days gone by.

UNKNOWN UNCLE WILLS MILLIONS Fortune From Africa Goes to Australia, Sydney.—David White, middle-aged Sydney business man, awoke one morning to find himself heir to over $1,250,000 in cash and $10,000,000 worth of real estate, a fortune amassed by his uncle in diamond deal- ing in South Africa. Behind the inheritance is a story revealing bleak depths of human bit- terness and suffering. It goes back to the middle of the last century, when Solomon Wheinsky was a fur dealer at Nishni-Novgorod in Russia. Solomon revolted against the exorbi- tant demands of the czarist taxgath- erer, business, disappeared mystariously into the mines of Siberia. Solomon Wheinsky and two sisters fled. They suffered bitterly from cold and hunger before they reached Riga, whence they got aboard a smuggler’s schooner and were taken to Amster- dam, whence Solomon went to London and his two sisters to the United States. 2 Solomon Wheinsky settled in White- chapel in 1852 and became a “kosher” butcher. He married a Russian girl and changed his name to White. He had two sons, Abel and Aaron. Aaron married outside his faith, and so long was the continuance of bitter- ness that Abel's son, David, decided to start life afresh in Australia. +S His brother, a partner in the | Meantime Aaron White had gone ! to South Africa, where he joined the group of men about Cecil Rhodes, the uncrowned king of South Africa for the last fifteen years of the last cen- tury. It was there that the fortune which has fallen to David White was amassed. Aaron White traded in diamonds, and he emerged from the welter of those frightful days a wealthy man. He employed his money in speculation and grew richer. Submarine Detector to Be Used on Yeggs New York.—A new barrier has been placed between the bank robber and his swag as a result of research by the engineers of the Bell laboratories here, Already learned in the ways ot <ops, night watchmen and the miles of wire incidental to the usual elec- tric alarm system, the robber may now find himself up against a new signal device invisible from the out- side yet capable of calling a squad of armed guards upon him as he works. In fact, the safe-blower now works under war-time conditions for the new alarm is founded on the Type H inertia microphone developed in the laboratories during the war for sub- marine detection, This alarm consists of a micre phone capable of detecting the most minute vibrations of the walls of a safe. It has already been installed in | several banks here and in Philadel- | phia. The microphone will not pick | up sound waves. The stimulus is re- ceived mechanically rather than acoustically.
