WON BY SHAMMING INSANITY

How Two British Officers Fooled Their Turkish Captors by Period of Feigned Madness. Are really lunatics or, brilliant actors? Sceptical Turks and British asked the question as they looked at the weird, ghastly figures of Lieutenant Jones and Lieutenant Hill In the prisoners’ ward of a Turkish hospital in the early days of the war. Here is a picture of Lieutenant Hill, as described by another British officer : “A tousled scarecrow of a man. His long, untrimmed hair hung over his unwashed neck, his cheeks were sunken, his hands were clasped over ths bed-clothes that covered his shins. He never looked at us, but with an expression of the most unswerving austerity continued to read a book that lay open on his knees. As I passed I saw, from the ruling and paragraphing of the pages, that it must be a copy of the Bible.” "Jones was in a bed opposite. His face was unusually white. The young forehead was divided and subdivided by deep wrinkles; a golden beard tufted from the chin; the head was covered by a too large fez, made ot white linen.

“He grinned and waved an arm toward the Turkish orderly. 'I am not English,’ he protested, in Turkish. 'I am a good Turk. The English are my enemies. I wrote to his excellency Enver Pasha, telling him I wished to became a Turkish officer.’ ” The reputation of these two officers as lunatics had spread through every prison-camp in Turkey, says the writer who tells the story tn “Blackwood’s Magazine." But they were not mad. They were feigning madness the whole time in order to recover their freedom ! And they won through. As soon as the British vessel on which they were shipped had left Turkish waters they miraculously recovered ! It was one of the most amazing cases of malingering on record. The marvel is that Hill’s mind did not give way under the ordeal. For twelve hours a day he sat up in bed reading and re-reading the Bible. He showed no signs of interest in anything; prayed aloud for nearly half an hour morning and evening in the presence of a dozen people, and never smiled — a task which required almost inhuman concentration. Jones, on the other hand, acted farce instead of tragedy, and both men completely duped the Turks.

Prehistoric Culture in Ohio.

Digging into the tomb of a mound builder chief near Newark, O., scientists recently discovered ancient trinkets which they declare establish the fact that the stone-age inhabitants of the locality belonged to the same tribe whose earth monuments are found in other parts of the state, notably Ross county, where similar research work has disclosed surprising evidence of prehistoric culture. The sepulcher is located near the flint quarries from which aborigines obtained material for arrowheads and other implements. It is made of small stones and is buried in a circular mound in earth about thirteen feet high. The chief’s skeleton indicated that he was a man nearly six feet tall and over average weight. Underneath the bones was found what is considered the most important article taken from the excavation, a copper gorget, believed to have been a token of authority or rank. Other objects of interest were copper earrings, an armlet of the same material and beads made from sea shells, which evidently had been worn as a neckpiece, and are described in Popular Mechanics.

Alrman's Record Glide.

What is believed to be a world's record for gliding with a dead motor was accomplished at Ithaca, N.Y., in a Thomas-Morse two-seater biplane, says the Scientific American. This machine flew to the head of Cayuga lake, a distance of thirty-five miles, and having attained a height of 17,500 feet, the pilot switched off his motor and glided to Ithaca, at which point he still had 5,000 feet altitude. If his glide had been continued it is estimated that an additional fifteen miles could have been covered, making a total of fifty miles without the use of his motor. The longest glide previously recorded was that of Capt. Raynham, according to Aeronautics, when he glided from Brooklands to Hendon, in England, a distance of twenty-two miles.

Anti-Noise Telephones.

Edwin S. Pridham and Peter L. Jensen, engineers of San Francisco, solved the problem of telephoning in the midst of noise by simply “opening the diaphragm and button of the transmitter and letting all the noise in—impartially to both sides of the diaphragm. The result was entire exclusion from the circuit of every sound save the voices of the users. As one test of the new method an “anti-noise” telephone was placed inside the steel shell of a boiler. With several men outside the boiler pounding on the shell wit. hammers, a person inside was able to elephone to those on the outside without interference from the din of the hammering.

French While You Wait.

Fairchilds. While attending the movie the other Saturday evening I happened to hear a young lady remark to her escort, who sat near me. It was: “I thot you were going to kiss me when you puckered up your lips just now.” The escort replied, “Noer it was only a piece of grit in my mouth.” “Then for goodness sake, it, you need some,” said she. The Wm. Davis sale Wednesday drew out quite a crowd and he was well pleased with the prices. Mrs. Brown spent the day in Tefft Tuesday sewing for Mrs. Anderson.
