Sir William Gordon Cummins is a
level headed man after all, even THOUGH
not above cheating at cards when play
ing with a professional gambler like the
Prince Of Wales, Instead of taking to
heart the verdict which exiled him from
the prince set, and, as some title wor-
shippers might have done, putting a
bullet through his Uranium, he defiantly
proceeded to marry ar American girl
who brings him million dollars in
hard cash. With this help he may be
able to live in fair style even though
tabooed by royalty. 1t sounds rather
funny though, after reading in a New
York paper yesterday morning long
story Of the approaching marriage,
given to a reporter on the authority of
Sir William himself, with description
and biography of the bride and details
Of the courtship, to be seriously told by
the cable yesterday afternoon that the
matter mad been kept so profoundly
secret in London that not more than a
dozen persons knew of the ceremony
until it was all over

Modern geographers should supple.
ment their maps of the United States
with information as to the whereabouts
of certain scattered islands under the
dominion of the American flag. Not
one citizen in thousand knew that
there was such an American possession
as Navassa island until news came Of
somebody being killed there and Of the
ringlcaders in the rioting being brought
TO Baltimore for trial, and very few
Americans to-day have more than the
vaguest idea Of its whereabouts. The
stars and stripes also float over an
island or two somewhere in Oceanica;
the United States has coaling station
at Samoa, and now comes the story
that Roncador island, off the coast of
Nicaragua, was duly taken possession
Of by citizen of the United States
over 20 years ago and is admirably
located for an American coaling station.
Then there is Herald island, in the
Arctic ocean, and there are other pos
sessions which are seldom mentioned.

Does Corresponding on the Typewriter
Change tho Style.
The Listener, of tho Boston Tran
script, after good deal of observation,
is quite sure that the typewriter is q
bad thing for the literary style; but of
scourse he could not pretend that the
literary style of every author who uses
1T is injuriously affected by writing
with machine. The diction of certain
writer's might even be improved by it.
The Listener is convinced that, as a
general thing, the typewriter produces
a sort OF staccato, disconnected, jerlSy
style; to change the metaphor. flesh
less and bony style, and awkward
twithal. What is written with the ma
chine seldom hes the case and express
I1vencss that the same authors hand
writing might have possessed.
The special word by word planning
that goes with it. be it ever SO slight
land even unconscious, does get In the
way of free expression, and there is a.
tendency in the writer to think out his
sentences less thoroughly, and even to
use stereotyped expressions, which fall
In more conveniently with ones prac-
,tice. In spite of all that may be said
by operators about tho process becom-
ling instructive" after a time, it could
not possibly become as completely
l1nstinctivc as handwriting is unless
everybody wrote from childhood with
the typewriter and nothing but the
typewriter. And even if everybody

the operation could become rs instinct

AN ANCIENT TlMEPIEcE.
"a Silver Watch That Had Laid Their
Over One Hundred Years.

"a oliver watch That Had Laid There
Over One Hundred Years.
!, a silver watch that appears to have
been resting on the bottom Of the Mer-
rimac river, near Lawrence, Mass. for
% century or two was found by Charles
blackwell recently, says the Jewellers
Weekly. Attached to the watch was a
long, heavy chain, both ends of which
were fast in the ring. but twelve inches
above the fastening of one end the
chain had been cut nearly in two.
AS the chain is made of silver wire
over an eighth of an inch thick it must
have taken heavy blow of n sharp in
strument to divide it. The outside of
the watch was once finely engraved,
but on the side which lay uppermost
the design can not be dcciphercd, as the
action OF the water has nearly smoothcd
the plate. The under side shows the
engraving perfectly.
On the face of the watch under the
hands, in small letters, Is printed:
"John Bowles, Horologer to his Males
ty, 1913 Threadneedle street, London"
On the inside of the outer case Is on.
graved: Presented to Joshua Arm
strong on his twenty-first birthday by
his loving mother, Prudence Armstrong.
April 10, 1920" The watch was found
beside an old mnsket, which bore evil
dence of having been broken in hand
to-hand struggle. Whether these relics
mark the scene of an accident or n
tragedy can never be known. They
were found near n once famous hunting
ground ofthe Indians

Ofacial Investigations which Modify the
EaYiy Reports or Unspeakabie Horrors.
The horrors of life in the two con-
vents Of Naples have recently formed
the subject Of animadvcrsiops by the
anti-clerical journals in Naples. These
reports coming to the knowledge Of the
procuratore del TO have led to the de-
termination to investigate the estab-
lishments in order to ascertain tho
foundation of the accusations.
"One OF the converts" says the Lon
don Times correspondent, 'is known as
the Thirty-three, though tho number Of
the inmates has been reduced to TWEEN
5, LYNNE, of whom only sixteen are nuns,
the rest being rather servants; the
other is called the Sepolte Vive-buried
alive.
" ''In the former no irregularity was
found beyond the concealment of their
Occupation of building which belongs
ito tho hospital for incurables, and
which will be reclaimed for hospital
uses 80 far as it is not necessary for the
remaining members of the community.
The quarters are spacious and even
magnificent, and at the inspection moth
ing seemed to require interference be-
You'd the appropriation of part Of the
buildings to the needs OF hospital service.
with regard to the community known
as the Sepolte Vive quito different
state OF things existed. According to
the official reports the nuns were con-
sidered as cut off from the world and
from all intercourse with their friends,
and were only known by their baptis-
NAL names. and until the judicial in
vestigation takes place 1t will be impos-
siblc to ascertain who they are. -
''There does not appear, however,
any reason to suppose TINT any were
immured against their will or that they
desired to DO liberated, but it is clear
that some of the inmates have been ad-
lmitted in violation of the law, which
after q certain period forbade the re-
iception of any moro new members of
any religious community. In one case
a very beautiful woman was only
twenty-nine years of age and as the
latest date ut which, according to law,
any reception of n nun in any convent
in Italy could take place was 1866, ex-
'cepting in that portion remaining under
the Pope, where the date was 1870, she has
apparently been received in violation Of
the law, which renders all ecclesiastical
authorities subject to criminal prose-
cution.
''In the Scpolte Vive the cells vere
found so nauseous from constant occu-
patton and utter want of ventilation
that the atmosphere is described by one
of the visitors as sickening. The IN
mates do not appear to have been pro-
!vided with any occupation beyond re-
'ligious contemplation, and some of
them ore represented as reduced to a
state of hebetude, so that it was doubt
full il they could give an Ineligible ac-
count Of themselves or their former re-
1ations with the world. Their manner
of life seems to have been ascetic in the
extreme and as nearly as possible justi-
flying their title, The Buried Alive
Besides the nuns garb they wear walls,
which are of close. heavy stuff, almost
enough to impede the breath"
