Old Civil War Shell Explodes

Ancient Bomb Scars Forest and Endangers Lives of Two Men. Lincolnton, N. C. —A forest near here was scarred and two men narrowly escaped death when a huge bomb, thought to have been a relic of the Civil war, exploded after a farm er, finding it buried in the ground, opened It in the belief lhat it was an iron ease containing gold. Joe Hester, the farmer, and his son. - John, were chopping down trees on the farm of Mrs. G. J Garrison lies ter noted an old moss-covered ohiect protruding from the ground near an old rotting stump and went over to investigate his find. According to Hester, there is an old tradition In that neighborhood to the effect that there is money buried in the vicinity, and he immediately jumped to the conclusion that this object was the container of the long-lost treasure. Break It Open. Hester kicked the object around, loosened it from the ground, and pulled it from its resting place tor the last half of a centfiry or more, and then began an examination. He sue gested to his son that they break it open. An ax was employed and the work of demolition began. Hester, fearing that the hilltop upon which they had found the missile uf'forded an excellent opportunity so» their investigation to be detected retreated into a deep recess back of the hill and there succeeded tn breaking the copper band around the base ol the shell. The base of the shell was then cut open, but nothing could he seen of the contents, It was finally decided to build a fire around the shell and burn off the moss and tar covering it After starting the fire the father and son returned to the chopping area and began to cui wood After a few minutes of work they went back to the fire' and sa» on the ground Reside the burning shell and watched it. They built the fire up. replenished the fuel, and again returned to their task of cutting wood The Bomb Explodes. Just as they reached the crest ot the hill there was a terrific explosion. Trees crashed and hissing slugs and

SMUGGLING ON THE THAMES IS EXPENSIVE FOR ENGLAND

Custom* Official Declare* That Half Million Dollars In Revenue I* Lost Annually. London.—Halt a million dollars tn revenue is lost annually by the Brit ish government as a result of smug gling Into London byway of the Thames, according to the recent estimate of a customs official. Although the smugglers and their accomplices are said to In no way ap nroacb the American bootleggers it comes to desperate tactics. It Is Relieved th&t only 10 per cent of them are apprehended by the authorities. The authorities have admitted that the job of apprehending smugglers is rot an easy Job, despite sarcastic criticism of the futile efforts of American prohibition officers, and considerable study is being given to the matter of {Checking the evil.

Small trees and saplings were cut in two by the slugs. There is every reason to believe the shell is of the t'ivil war period. The copper ring cut from the base of rhe shell is identical with that of a four inch shell, fourteen inches long, used in the war between the states. It Is further believed that the shell was manufactured in High Shoals, in Gaston county, as shells were made there during the war. The case of .the shell carried the number 1,004. In all probability rhe cap had become inactive, because the shell failed to go off when Hester cut through the casing with his ax. London Concern Building High-Speed Armed Boats London.—High speed armed motor boats are being built here for an unnamed foreign power, according to the spokesman for John Thornycrqft com pany, the builders. Two other boats of this type which have been completed for the Dutch East Indies to serve under the Dutch naval flag, are an improved development of the famous coastal motor boats first used in the war. It is understood that those now building arg not being constructed fo.r rhe Dutch navy. The purchasers name has not been disclosed. The boats are 55 feet long and do

Since the ships which come up the Thames usually carry the same type of cargo for the same consignees time after time, it is a comparatively simple matter for the smuggler to get articles ashore. Goods which may be sold at a great profit tn England, such as perfume, cigars, brandy and jewelry, are merely lowered over the side of the ship to lightermen friends, who are regularly on hand to. take delivery of the overside cargo. ft is pointed out that these lattei may easily secrete smuggled goods on board their barges, which no customs official will ever search unless acting on information. The barge is loaded and towed to some private wharf where the lighterman brings the parcel ashore and disposes of it at a profit which varies according to th? nature of the goods smuggled. This profit is split bn a “fifty-fifty” basis The manner of approaching the

When under way a single step hy droplane lifts the bow clear of the water and they do not draw more than a few inches. Because of their high speed and shallow draught, they are particularly adapted for crossing mine fields. Two torpedoes, fitted with a special releasing gear for dropping them astern when the boat is traveling at full speed, are the chief features of their armaments. They also carry Lewis guns and depth charges. The latest addition is the installation of a smoke screen forming apparatus. A crew of three men is required to operate these boats. Rebuked Parishioner for “Ungodly Strut” Portland. Maine. —The New England preachers and church deacons of an earlier day were frankly outspoken Even in their prayers they did not hesitate to become personal. One of these Puritanical exhorters named Moody was ordained pastor at York. Maine, in the year 1700. A village blade had publicly called attention to some fine, new clothes the minister was wearing, so the pastor staged a ‘•come back.*’ In his prayer he said with a continually rising inflection “And. O Lord! we pray Thee, cure Ned Ingraham of that ungodly strut!” In dry spells it was not unusual to pray for rain. One Maine minister is credited in the town records with this phraseology: “O Lord. Thou know est we do not want Thee to send us a rain which shall pour down in fury and swell streams and carry away our haycocks, fences and bridges; hut Lord, we want it to come drizzle-droz zle. for about a week Amen!” Sends Ten Radiograms at Once, All Secret Manila.—W.

Walsh.* BEATRICE HALLECK at twenty had achieved without conscious effort the distinction of being the most popular girl in town. Just looking at her one understood her I>opularity with men, but it was rather amazing to find she was just as much sought after by girls. At present Beatrice possessed three “best” girl friends; each firmly believed site alone held a place in Bea’s heart that no one else could even look into. Beatrice, because above all things she couldn't bear to hurt people, had let them think so. The friendships had just “happened” and she hadn’t the courage to tell any of them that the devotion was one sided. This beautiful morning she Sat in the living room of her home and poured her troubles into the ever ready ears of Jim Boyd. “What am 1 going to do?” she wailed. “Why couldn’t 1 have told Ruth that Nora expects me to go to India as a missionary with her? Ruth is positively set on having me go to New York to lead a terrifically Bo> iiemian life with her It sounds thrilling. too. I can just see that studio in Greenwich Village and Ruth and I in very sudden varieties of boyish bobs, wearing futuristic smocks and sandals and going without Stockings.” Jim whistled in mild surprise. “Go on,” he said good-naturedly. “And—and both of us slithering gracefully around.” “I never heard of anyone ‘slithering gracefully.' ” Jim interrupted disgustedly. “Slithering gracefully around.” she insisted, amid —” “Amid, what?” he gasped. “A tea table or red Chinese lacquer and black lacquer chairs, with people sitting on them—languidly graceful, nteresting looking people.” “How awful!” he breathed. “Jim Boyd, if you interrupt again I’ll send you home.” she said severely. “AU right, but get the agony over with quickly,” was the reply. “Well, as 1 said before, the people must be interesting—long-haired musicians. bcw-tied artists, charleston dancers, actors and. and —a spring . poet. Oh Jim, db you think you could get me a spring poet?” “Gosh, this is worse than the time you ordered an airedale to be delivered before night and nobody in town owning anything but fox terriers and bulldogs.”“But 1 must have a spring poet.” she insisted. “He’J help so much—lend atmosphere—Jim. can’t you get me a spring poet?” “Yes. yes,” said Jim soothingly, “though I should think a place like .the Village would supply its own. ' ’hat should the old geeze look like?” “Oh. 1 don’t know,” vaguely; “just, just a regular spring poet.” “Maybe a spring tonic would be better.” said Jim wisely. “Let’s forget poets and go play tennis.” “But, Jim. wouldn't it be wonderful to feel one had been called to do a great work for mankind in India?” “What?” cried Jim iq astonishment. “I said.” explained the girl gently, “wouldn't it be wonderful to feel one had been called to do a great work for mankind in India?” “Who's been called?” asked Jim suspiciously. •’I don’t know—l think maybe I have.” “Applesauce! How could you be .leading a Bohemian life in New York while you were teaching the heathen in India?” “That's just it —how? Nora knows that long ago 1 gave up all thought of marriage, so naturally she expects me to spend my declining years with her. Ruth expects the same, and tomorrow they’re both coming to make final arrangements for my future.” “Well, why the dickens don’t you tell one of them that she isn't your best friend?” “Oh. 1 couldn’t do that, you know. They'd feel badly—really they would.” “1 give up.” said Jim. shaking his head. “Come on. let’s play tennis.” “Jim,” she said, “I don't know why you're so comforting, but you are. al though you never give me any advice that’s worth taking.” “Well, there’s nothing like being frank, but some day I may have a really bright suggestion. Race you to the courts!” “Jim.” she gasped as they reached the courts, “can’t you picture me in a dark gray dress with high collar and cuffs and my hair grown long and pulletL straight off my. face and done in a flat knob at the back—with about 500 little brown babies, teaching them their prayers and things?” “No, 1 can’t.” said Jim decidedly. “1 can’t at all. Why. here comes Jean and Donald. We’ll play doubles.” When the game was over Jean, a

Jungle Leech a Pest in Malay Peninsula

In the Malayan jungle country the trees go up to prodigious heights, sometimes as much as a hundred feet to the lojvest branches. Although the tjndergrowth loops and tangles in every direction the tree runs up so high that there is always room to let the light through. As far as the Malay peninsula is concerned the so-called “impenetrable jungle” is a myth, but Malayan swamp country is a more difficult proposition and a really thick bomboo grove is the worst luck that can 'befall a Malayan surveying party In the mixture of swamp and Jungle outside of Singapore the worst enemies to be fought are mud and leeches, with occasional bouts of malaria to vary the monotony. The ordinary jungle leech Is no bigger than a match when it attaches itself to the skin, hut as big as a cigar when it has sucked Its fill of blood.

It’s something we can devote our liaes to.” “I’m sure it’s a splendid scheme it you though, of it.” said Beatrice, weakly. Silently she cursed herself for the pretty speeches which came so readily to her lips at such times. As soon as the boys were out of hearing Jean turned to her friend excitedly: “Bea. did you ever raise chickens?’ “N-no—never.” was the answer. - “Would you love to?” “I—l don’t' know.” she faltered. “They're kind of cute when they are little and furry.” “Oh, they’re Wonderful! There is nothing to compare with them —in all stages.” Jean clasped her hands and her eyes became wider and brighter as though she were picturing to her self millions of chickens of every con ceivable color and breed.” Beatrice looked at her friend in mild-eyed astonishment. Much as she liked chickens on rare occasions when she saw them, she would not have believed that any feathered crea tures were capable of arousing so much enthusiasm in the breast of Jean, the calm and serene. Appar ently it was worth while to cultivate ba rnya rd acquaintsnees. “Where did you get to know chick ens so well?” she ventured. “Where?” Jean turned. "So well? 1 don’t know anything about them ex Cept what 1 read in the Formers Monthly yesterday, but it made me realize that my vocation’ in life is to raise chickens and you. Bea, dear, are to help me. Well buy a little place Outside the city and raise really good looking chkkens—quite the best assortment.” “It does sound rather nice,” said a meek voice, “but how do you suppose we’ll be ahle to look after them? 1 never lived within two miles of a chicken in my life.” “Oh. that’s .easy.” returned Jean promptly. “You don’t need to know anything about them. That Will come in time. We'll just buy books, a good big stock and. and—” vaguely—“some eggs and we'll—just start in and raise chickens.” < “All right—if it’s as simple a that.” said Beatrice. “Aqg you'll promise to make your country proud of you as one of the two greatest chicken fanciers (1 think that's what we’ll be called) in the world?” “1 promise. Come over tomorrow and we’ll make final arrangements.” As usual, upon sober reflection next day. Beatrice was filled with remorse and uneasiness India, Bohemia an 1 chicken farming didn’t mix. About noon she phonea Jim and explained the situation. , “Isn't it awful?” she asked. “You must think; ’ can’t.” “ Awful’ is too mild a word.” said t..e young man. “I'm doing some thinking all right and I’ll be over at four o’clock to offer suggestions.” Promptly at four Jim arrived Nora. Jean and Ruth were on the porch with Bea. The air seemed charged with electricity. “May 1 speak with you alone a few minutes. Beatrice?” he asked. “Why surely, if the girls will ex cuse me.” she replied. They walked out to the sunroom at 0 the back of the house. They returned in ten minutes and Jim announced : “Beatrice has something to tell you.” Then Beatrice, looking very thrilled and excited, said: “Jim and I are engaged. We won’t be married for a year, hut I just wanted you all so know that I'll be so busy getting ready I won't be able to do any of the love ly things we had planned.” A New Woman The woman had spent an hour in the Americanization class watching the old people in the new country struggling with the reading and writ ing and conversation of the land of their adoption. When she was ready to leave she expressed her thanks to the teacher. “Before you go.” said the teacher. “1 want you to shake hands with Mrs Katz. She is our oldest pupil. She is seventy-two. and she has never been late or missed a class.” . “Not for nothing would I miss a class.” confided the seventy-two-year old lady as she shook hands with the woman. “Whatever happens 1 come Even next week’s a wedding in the family, and I’m having a dress by the dressmaker.

These • houses usually k ! stand at the head of a canyon, or on the crest of a hill. They are dignified I ; one-story buildings, with large rooms, ? high ceilings, and many windows. ? ; Their vivid color is what the Bra* ' zilians call “Portuguese blue.” crowned by the reddish brown of weather-beat-en tiles. r j In the gardens of these homes tower * royal palms, great jaqueira trees ; heavy with fruit, wide-spreading man- * gos, and South Brazilian Parana pines ! with straight branches. r These noble trees, foreign to Rio’s hills, tell us that the gardens were ! planted back in the first Dom Pedro’s ’ day. or perhaps in the time of his • father. Dom Joao the Sixth. I In 1808 Portuguese royalty fled from I Napoleonic despotism in Europe to set up its court in Br :zil. and the follow1 ing year the prince regent, afterward Dom Joao VI, imported the royal palm 1 of the Antilles and planted it in the ' botanical gardens M Rio. Here the f original palm still stands. “Our Mother Palm was sick some - years ago,” the visitor is told “and 1 we were greatly alarmed lest she 1 should dte- From this single specimen hav' come all the wonderful ? palms which beautify our parks and avenues. We treated our royal patient wiC care, giving her a medicinal bath, and she recovered.” 1 . Near the palm is a bust of Dom ' Joao, whose forethought and love of gardens greatly enriched the flora of Asiatic trees, such asdhe mango, iaque1 ira, breadfruit, and tamarind, and many of the Old World flowering trees 1 which glorify Rio's hills, then came ' to Brazil through Portugal’s far-flung 1 colonies in Asia and Africa; or were ' brought from Cayenne, in French Guiana, then known as the Isle of France, where the French maintained a botan | leal garden from a very early period. Riot of Brilliant Colors. In the old gardens are other marks i of bygone days besides the venerable trees, flere and there is a wall faced | with blue and white Dutch tiles, which found their way to Brazil when Hol- ! land invaded its northern coast, in the l Seventeenth century. On some of the tall gateposts stand big blue or yellow : porcelain ornaments in the form of pineapples, imported from Portugal one hundred or more years ago. “They ' bring good luck to the household.” say the older natives. Color runs riot. The purple bougainvillea here grows to be a tree; the flaming poinsettia becomes a giant bush. There is the glowing coral vine; the hibiscus in red and in rose; the violet and lavender manaca. Brilliant variegated crotons’ border the paths; Most conspicuous are the gorgeous flowering trees, such as the native cas sia. or “golden shower.” whose yellow c usters .resemble the wistaria, the West Indian salmon and red frangipani of fragrant memory; and the t'.amboyant. dr royal pointiana of Madagascar, the joy of the garden. To the American observer the mod em architecture of the city seems too t mate. Rio de Janeiro is like a lovely woman, who needs little embellishment. Here buildings on simple lines are best. All the houses, however, have the redeeming quality of varied and vivid coloring, which, combined ! with terra-cotta earth and emerald foliage, forms the most attrac- ! tive features of the city. While terra 1 cotta, in soil, roofs, and garden walls. : Is the predominating tone, almost 1 every shade is represented in this tri- ' descent town. Many of the new homes cling to the billside below the street and are entered from the roof. Others of these eliff-dwellings perch high above the thoroughfare and are reached by a long flight of steps or by elevator on an inclined plane. Some bear the name

Birds of Santa Theresa Hill. Butterflies and birds gladden eyery garden; but it is on Santa Theresa hill that the forest birds congregaffe in greatest numbers. The bird that plays star role all day” long is the sabia. beloved of Brazilian poets. They always have it perched high in the palm tree, but in reality it hides in the bush. There‘are several varieties of the sabia—of the forest and of .the shore —birds about the size of h robin. The woody-colored one with the orange breast, Sabia larangeira, is the sweetest singer. In variety of form and coloring the birds of Brazil, like the butterflies, outclass those of other parts of the world. Recently, in London, a Brazilian butterfly sold tor $l5O. Many and varied are the street vendors who sing their wares and clap their hands at the garden gate to attract attention. The custom athong the working classes of bearing burdens on t behead is a survival of slavery days. Everything is carried in this fashion, from a tin pan to a piano. It takes four men to carry a piano; but <me man alone balances the gigantic breadbasket, weighing close to ninety pounds, toiling with it up the steep paths, one hand steadying the basket, the other grasping a camp stool One imagines at first that the camp stool is for the man to rest on; but’ no! It is for the honorable bread-basket I There are more than one thousand five hundred of these bread men, each, exhibiting the number of his license on the basket or atached to the formidable leather purse, resembling a woman’s ordinary handbag, which the Rio street vendor invariably wears on his hip, suspended from his shoulder by a long strap. Other characteristic features are the tamancos, or heelless wooden slippers, whose rythmic “clap-clap” is heard in every part ot the city, and the circular wad of cloth, once worn on the head as a cusliion for the burden. Every vendor has his particular call. The tin-pan merchant thumps his wares with a big spoon; the Syrian who sells Ceara lace beats his basket* with his yardstick; the strange minor wail of’ the peanut-seller takes you back to the Orient. There is, in fact, quite an oriental touch to the city. Corcovado and Sugar Lotif.

The altitude is oifly * a little more than two thousand feet; yet the view is really* more remarkable than many that can be obtained only after toiling to the summits of some of the world's most famous mountains.
