UTAH Secrets of Ancients Survive Attacks of Modern Science f With television soon to become a seno.is rival to the movies, and giant airplanes and warships things which raise little comment from the av-- j crage man, it is surprising that there are many secrets known to the ancients which have survived the attacks of modern science, says a writer in London Answers. The Greeks could not weave lin-- i en or wool on anything like the wale we weave them today. But they wove them into the pilema, a form of cuirass which could not be penetrated by the sharpest dart or arrow. The secret has been lost perhaps forever. The Romans sank wells for wa-- j ter to great depths. Exactly how they did the boring we do not know. They also made glass which would bend yet not break. This would be quite useful today. The beautiful purple dye, known of old, has eluded the ; of today. And modern builders can make nothing of the strong and durable cement used by the Greeks and the Romans in their press-the-butt- - cot close to nature when he visited the little mountain as? tfsasarses President Roosevelt " me - At'ssrs - dye-make- rs Campus Ghost Writer Exposed Divinity Student Graduates With Bride on Ilis Arm walls. This cement was stronger and harder than the stone itself. The knowledge possessed by the ancient Egyptians was very extensive. They had a method of dressing stone to withstand the ravages of time and weather. They also perfected the art of embalming. Probes, forceps, and other surgical instruments have been found in Egypt. For what purpose they were used we will never know. That secret, along with many others, passed away with the destruction of the famous library at Alexandria in the Fifth century. The lose of the knowledge contained in that library was a blow to civilization. Reading and Thinking Reading furnisiies the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking makes what we read ours. So far as we apprehend and see the connection of ideas, so far it is ours; without that it is so much loose matter floating in our brain. Locke. Must Books Be Read? The collector of books need not fear the challenge that is sure to be made, sooner or later, by his, "Have skeptical acquaintances: you read them all?" The first idea he ought to get out of hie head ia that he must only buy books for immediate reading. The charm of n library, said that devout book lover, the lain Arnold Bennett, is seriously impaired when one has read the whole or nearly the whole of its contents." Bennett confessed that he had hundreds of books he had never opened, and which, perhaps, he never would open. But he would not part with them. He knew they were good, and as he gazed on them, he said to them, Some day, if chance favors, your turn Liverwill come. Be paticntl pool Post. Best Thoughts Try to care about aomething in this vast world besides the gratification of small selfish desires. Try to care for what ia best in thought and action something that is good apart from the accidents of your own lot. Look on other livee besides your own. See what their troubles are, and how they are borne. George Eliot. Four years ago, when he enrolled at Columbia Theological seminary, Rev.
