BACONIAN SECRETS, AMERICAN'S QUEST IN THE CHILTERNS.
Mysterious digging operations in the Chiltern Hills -neur Hitchin have for. some time puzzled the country folk as well as archaologista
Me Safford, an Ohio mau, formerly résident in New York, is responsible, writes the Daily Chronicle correspondent. Ha has brought a party of labourers from Lüton to undertake the work.
1
Four miles from Hitchin is a high grassy moorland, Lilley Hoo, overlooking the Bedfordshire plains. It is traversed by the ancient Britist road, the Icknield; Way, and thers are siso tracts across the! Hoo of Roman construction. This is the scene of the excavations, which have been in progress for weeks.
Under Mr. Safford's directions the labourers have dug mang holes from eft. to 128k, deep, around a small conical mound, which is probably prehistoric in origin, on the highest part of the Hoo.
When questioned the labourers have given the impression that they have been sworn to secrecy, and the consequence has been a plentiful crop of rumours about the real purpose of the diggings,
Hr. Safford's explanation to the Bally! Chronicle correspondent of the operations is even more strangy than some of these rumors.
It is that ha is searching for a iccret Baconian philosophy, buried in various places in the form of emblems wrought- in stone by a seventeenth century etcher in the confidence of the great Chancellor. Mr. Safford says that he has already got together a considerable collection of these emblem-marked stones, and hopes to be able to publish an exposition. of his theories with the stony picture-emblema as illustrationa
Mr. Safford believes that Bacon com- mitted the secrets of a secres philosophy to these emblem-devices. for reasons pas sibly best known to Bacon himself.
An archaeological expert, Mr. Safford is also well versed in mineralogy.ami geo- logy. He is to extend his digging opera- tions to neighbouring hills,
ICES FOR HEALTH.
[BY A PHYSICIAN.]
Judging by the way conversation turne there appears to be an impression abroad in the minds of sume that we are inter- ually much holter in the summer then in the winter. A little experiment with a dinici thermometer will son prove the contrary. Blood heat is more or less normal in health all the year round It is the surface of the skin which feels the I beat so intensely. That is why we are cooler in some colours and some materials than in others. It is all a question of radiation. In the winter we help to warm the cooler ntmosphere, but in this kind of weather the atmosphere does not need our assistance, and we do not find it so easy tọ rid ourselves of body heat. The heart in consequence has a little more work to do,
CERTAINLY!
Having decided that the digestive tract is not so intensely hot we can banish "the idea that ice in summer is any more dan gerous than it is in winter. The thief attraction about an ice in summer is that it is a means of couvering liquid, and owing to the skin just now carrying off so much of the water of the body, the general organism needs liquid in consider- able quantities.
Also in the samer the month has a tendency to get dry and the salivary glands sometimes do not respond to the sight of food and drink as rapidly as they should. The appearance of an ice is usually so attractive that the moath water--that is to y the salivary glands get busy. Since the whole of digestion depends on the activity of these glands it may be con cluded that the sight of an ice alone has considerable uses. If it is sipped the enjoy ment is continued, and there seems very little reason to fear any dangerous result. The body lends itself to adaptation by slow absorption.
TILDEN'S TENNIS TALES.
W. T. Tilden, the lawn tenuis champion, has turned story-teller. But his stories, in a book called It's All in the Game," have a moral. They are leurs stories- with much good advice to young players, covered with the jain of fiction.
The hero of one of the stories is an American boy, Buddie, who has a pas sion to become a tennis chainpion. But, ne a real champion shows him after a match in which: Baddie flings down his racquet in disgust, he has a lot to learn.
You know, first of all," the champion tells him, "you must keep your ere on the ball until you ree it. hit your racquet. Then you should always be side. ways to the net when you hit the ball.. Your shoulders are along the lino you want to hit. Once you are in a position to strike, swing free and easy from your shoulder and shift your weight forward with your shot, and there is your stroke." Tillen says that most of the stories are based on true incidenta of the tennis courts. He has made the most of them; and tennis enthusiasts will hold their breath aver sons of the exciting finishes.
