Seeking “Whiteßird

Baltimore, Md.—Dr. James A. Nydegger, who has had considerable experience in exploring in Newfoundland, will lend a party afoot in an exploration trip to the tablelands of the ^lsland, in search of traces of the plane of Nungesser and Coli, who were lost while attempting the first westward flight of the Atlantic. Confident that Nungesser’s plane, the White Bird, spanned the Atlantic, only to meet disastrous head winds and be forced off her course, as was the Bremen, Doctor Nydegger says he will explore every mile of the Interior of the island. He said:

| FREE SALVATIONS » By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK << Dean of Men, University of /S Illinois. THEY were singing lustily at the revival meeting, and 1 was joining in with my cracked voice which was in the process, quite embarrassing to me, of changing. “Salvation's free, for you and me, I’m glad salvation's free.” Sam Gregory, who had accepted confidently the simple faith propounded by the evangelist, and had just been baptized in the stream which ran through Cloyd’s pasture, took the song literally. He had done everything which the minister had laid down for him to do; he was quite at peace and in his simple mind, for he told me so, he was safe for all time and safe for eternity. There was nothing further for him to do. He had got something very precious to him practically for nothing, and that was a new experience for Sam. But he was quite mistaken. We get nothing worth while in the world, and possibly nothing in the next absolutely free. We don’t always pay what a thing is worth, but we pay, and it wasn't long before Sam knew that if he were to be saved there was a price to be paid. He had taken on some heavy obligations when he stood up and joined the church. There was a slight financial obligation, but this did not disturb him. He had never contributed before to the support of the church, barring the stray nickel which dropped into the contribution

Talk, to some, is like a brook that dribbles on indefinitely. Better end in the middle of a word than talk even a few minutes too long. Short speeches are quickly forgiven.

It must be paid for In love and sacrifice and self-control. It is worth all that It costs, but there is a price to be paid. Sam paid it. No one ever heard him utter a profane word after the revival was over. He lived in peace and harmony with his family and with his neighbors. He came In time to see that generous giving was an obligation which he could not evade if he would pay what he should, and he saw, too, that the debt he owed for the salvation which was dear to him was one which he could never really pay, any more than he could fully meet the debt of obligation which he owed to his mother, and so he kept on trying to pay until the end. Merely to accept a religious creed he saw was not enough. It didn’t make him safe even for all time much less for eternity. It simply piled upon him a debt which try as he might he could never fully wipe out.

11 11 ■■ i i WTiere Arthur Ruled

Penzance, England. — A famous stretch of the Cornish cliff on the north shore of Cornwall, properly known as Church Cliff, will soon become a national monument if plans made by Rev. A. Blissard Barnes, vicar of Tintagel, come to maturity this year. This stretbh of cliff, about 50 acres in area, stands as a bulwark against the Atlantic rollers, and commands magnificent views of u countryside which is rich with legends of Arthur Pendragon and his Knights of the Round Table. Below the cliff, and within view from its top, is the precipitous island ' rock upon which are a portion of the ! ruins of an ancient castle, by popular belief the birthplace of the afterward celebrated King Arthur. Not far away is the stone marked Slaughter bridge, where many say the last battle of Arthur was fought, and where the last of the Pendragons received his fatal wound. Doubt Arthur Ever Existed. Milton, in his History of Britain, ramarks: “Who Arthur was, and whether any such person reigned in Britain, hath been doubted heretofore, and may again with good reason.” Scholars and historians have pointed out that there is little evidence worth consideration that Arthur was more than the creation of natural myth Yet to many Cornishmen, and to Englishmen and Americans as well, the heroic tales of the son of Uther, recorded first by Nennius in the latter

"While 1 hold out no hope that they are alive, 1 believe we will find their wrecked plane. It is a little over a year since their brave attempt to fly from France to America failed, and it Is not too late to make a final search. "Nungesser’s mother has always maintained that somebody will find the White Bird, t hope that I will be the fortunate man.”

The proof of this lies in the num her of English tourists who visit the . ruins at Tintagel, the town at Camelford, the battlefield at Slaughter bridge, and other spots closely associated with the legend. In the hist half-decade Americans, too, have found Cornwall. In increasing numb(*rs the summer tourists have invaded the quiet country at the south of England to bathe on her white beaches at Penzance, Newquay, and Perranporth, to visit the famous tin mines near Redruth and Camborne, and to stand on the ground made famous by the tale of Arthur Pendragon, in the north. Ruined Castle Draws Many. The chief interest at Tintagel, ot course, is the ruined castle, which is popularly referred to as King Arthur’s castle and so represented to tourists. Regardless of the truth of this claim, the spot has genuine historic associations of later date, though it is now generally acknowledged that the crumbling ruins are of a period posterior to the Norman conqueror. A few English writers, however, moved to defend the legends of the Pendragon, have declared it possible that the castle, or some mansion or dwelling, must have existed there before the Conquest : that it was later restored by the Normans in their own style. At any rate, there must have been some sort of castle on the Island of Tintagel, or Tintagoi, when Geoffrey of Monmouth, the most believable of the early writers, recorded his version

Made Fuel Pipe From Kelp Root

East Harpswell, Maine.—Patching a motor engine with seaweed and making it run is the latest achievement of Yankee ingenuity. When Carroll Merriam started for a trip in his motor boat to haul ids lobster pots he found that nocturnal marauders had stripped his craft. They stole oars, brass running lights, six cells of battery and oilskins, and, worst of all. they cut his six-foot copper gasoline feed line connecting the tank with the carburetor. With no place within miles where he could obtain copper pipe, with no Begin Classifying of 7,200 Kinds of Plants Washington. — The classification and identification of a large collection of tropical Howers, ferns ami plants gathered last winter in the lofty mountains and dense jungles of eastern Colombia, some of which have never before been seen by an American, Is the summer's task confronting Dr. Ellsworth P. KilUp and Albert C. Smith of the Smithsonian Institution. Doctor Klllip, assistant curator, and Mr. Smith, collaborator In the division of plants of the national museum, spent four months In the eastern cordillera of Colombia north of the Bogota region and brought back nearly 30,000 specimens. These included 800 “collecting numj hers" of ferns. 300 of orchids, more ! than 200 of the mimosa and cassia i families, about 75 morning glories and 100 passion flowers. Sets of the specimens have been distributed among the various institutions co-operating in the expedition, which was part of , the botanical exploration of northern . !

At the dose of that century, it seems evident, tLe Norman family of De Hornacot, seated ai Hornacot, tn North Hamerton, bad a grant of the manor of Bossinney, including. no doubt, the Island of Tin tagel. They thereafter took the name of Tintagel as a part of the family name, which Is thought to Indicate i that there was some castle or mansion on the island for them to reside in. The isle of Tintagel and the ruins upon it now belong to the prince of Wales, as duke of Cornwall. Much ot the other land of especial note in the region is similarly protected for pos terity. But the area along Church cliff, which is atached to the glebe land of the vicarage of Tintagel, is the property of the church, and as such may be sold at any time, pro i vided proper authority is obtained । from the ecclesiastical commissioners. Since the increase In the tourist trade of the region began, the value of the land for building sites has steadily gone up. Rev. A. Blissard Barnes and others interested In the sentimental value of the cliff front have been alarmed lately lest an es- | pecially fine offer induces the church | to sell, allowing the cliffs to fall into j private hands.

He had a battery for a radio set In his home, and this he soon connected with his motor. Then he rowed his dory out a few hundred yards to the Seal ledges, where he found a piece of kelp or devil's apron with an eight-foot stem that was hollow. Taking this ashore, he pushed one end over the end of the severed pipe projecting from his fuel tank and the other end left at the carburetor.

“Tears” in Old Glasses Not Shed by Weepers One of the things greatly demanded by antique hunters in Europe are “tear glassess.” These are. says Pathfinder Magazine, little glasses in the slender stem of which Is imprisoned a so-called tear. It looks very touching, but It is deceiving. The “tear” never came from a sorrowing eye. It is merely a flaw in the glass —accidental at first and skillfully Intended later. But the name itself, with the age of the article, is enough to make it sought after. ? Like the fear glasses of modern EuI rope were famous "tear vases,” or lac- ■ rymatories, of the ancient Greeks and l Romans. They are small vessels of I glass, or terracotta, frequently found in tombs and in which the mourners ; were supposed to have dropped their i tears. It has been decided, however, that they were used to contain unguents—something regularly and gen- ; erously used at ancient funerals.
