JJerea college, at the foot of the.
[5^Cumberlan mountains, in. Kentucky,
Leilas the unique distinction of owning
!two mountains. 4,000 acres of forest.
Its own sawmill, but never tutting a
eounil tree, writes Marie "Dickore in
-j.v the/American1
I".* wood is use&for the college, for pow-
Y' jer, for heat and'in the many cozy fire
^places in the dormitories and in the
^'vgreat open fireplace which delights
"every traveler who stops at Boone tav-
?ern..
i The sawmill, ss well as the 4,000
acres of forest reserve, provides not
only ample practical experience for
the students, but also actual labor for
those students who work for their edu
cation. The sawmill is operated by
6team, and, like every othe* industry
at Berea college, is run by students,
who work at least two consecutive
hours per day under the supervision of
a superintendent of labor, who in
turn is responsible to the dean of
labor.
Students at Berea are given the op
portunity to earn their expenses, and
they may select the work, which is
paid for at the regular rates according
to the sltadent's ability and efliciency.
As every student in the college must
work the minimum of two hours per
day, suitable occupation must he pro
vided by the deali of labor and in the
forestry department the students are
very happy patrollng the forest, mark
ing the dead timber, hauling the fallen
timber to the sawmill, catting it there
into the required lengths, and then
hauling the logs to wherever needed
on the campus. No sound timber is
cut, as there is enough of the other
tp supply all needs.

UNEARTH SKELETON OF GIANT
Bones of Supposed Mound Builder
Those of Man Eight or Nine
Feet High.
Dr. W. J. Holland, curator of the
Carnegie museum, Pittsburgh, and his
assistant, Dr. Peterson, a few1
i
Forestry Magazine. This
days
ago opened up a mound of the ancient
race that Inhabited this section and se
cured the skeleton of a man who
when in the flesh was between eight
and nine feet in height, says a Greens
burg (Pn.) dispatch to the Philadel
phia Inquirer.
This mound, which was originally
about 100 feet long and more than 12
feet high,.'has been somewhat worn
down by time. It is on the J. B.
^Becrist farm in South Huntington
.township. This farm lias been in the
Secrist naW for more tlfan a cen
tury.
The most interesting feature in the
recent excavation was the mummified
torso of the human body, which the
experts figured was laid to rest at
least 400\ years ago. Portions of the
bones dug up and the bones in the
legs. Prof. Peterson declares, are
those of a person between eight and
nine feet in height. The scientist
figures that this skeleton was the
framework of-a person of the prehis
toric race that inhabited this section
before the American Indians.'
The torso and the portions of the
big skeleton were shipped to the Car
negie museum. Drs. .Holland and
Peterson supervised the explorations
on the Secrist mound with liie great
est of eare. The curators believe the
than whose skeleton they secured be
longed to the mound builder class.
Golf Ball Displayed Sense.
People who don't believe that golf
halls have some sense their own
would stand small show Just now hi an
argument with a player on the Rom
ford links, who made a badly-sliced
tee shot, which carried the ball across
'the roadway Into the open upstairs
window of a house.
When the golfer went to retrieve
the hall he found it on the'inn of the
front door of the house, waiting for
him like a good child. After entering
the bedroom it had hounded out
through the door and rolled down
stairs to the mat.
The golfer says If it hadn't had
sense it might have gone through a
closed window, breaking the glass, and
.thcl stuck in the room, making all
sorts of possible trouble for him. As
It was, the people of the house were
none the wiser for the trespass of the
golf ball.London Mall.

The government of France has de

ing geologists and surveyors, as well
as diviners, has been appointed to ap
ply the magic rod to the Sahara. Since
Moses first struck water from the rock
the question' of divining has been a
moot one, and the world is no less
credulous of its results in this age than
in ancient days. The "dojwsor" had a
great vogue in England in the seven

cially in Cornwall,*where numerous
learned works attest his prowess in
finding metals tmder the earth. But
even latterly "dowsing" for water ha
been attended with such success thai
science has had to explain the droop
ing of the forked hazel twig in the
"dowser's" hands by such theories as
that "certain people possess a super
normal perceptive faculty," and that
the twisting of the branch indicated a
"mental disturbance in the dowser
