Fourteen COnvicts Escape.
(By United Press.)

Knoxville, Tenn. Aug. 13.-
Seven convicts made their escape
from the stockade at Briceville yes
terday. 1t is charged that when a
convict manages to get away from
the stockade and dodge the guards
so as to get into the woods, he has
no trouble III finding some one who
will provide him with citizens
clothes. Fourteen have escaped
this week.
One reason for the ease with
which they have escaped is the
great number crowded together in
stockades which are not finished.

liable, pure and harmless, is Sim.'

what Came of the Use of Moth Pre-
ventive by Washington woman.
There is one lady i'm Washington
who when she puts away her winter
furs at the end of the season will
probably not use moth balls to pro-
tect them. The pungent odor of this
detergent has a peculiar effect on
some organisms, as she has learned by
a most disagreeable experience during
her Christmas shopping.
The lady in question is the wife of a
governmdAt official of high standing.
Just before Christmas she took from a
clothes press a fur trimmed cloak
which had been laid away since last
winter, and forgot to remove from its
secret rScesses tho moth balls with
which it was powerfully charged At
tired in the garment she entered a

on Pennsylvania avenue and asked to
be shown some diamond rings
The proprietor was alone i'm his store.
AS the lady leaned over the tray to ex-
anime the rings n Whit of the odor of
moth balls struck him. With a hur-
ried motion he thrust the tray of rings
back in the case and rushed to the
door, where he stood for some time in
flating his lungs with the crisp, wintry
air. Then, returning, he ran to his
telephone. All this time the lady Gus
toner was standing in wide eyed won
dernent. AS soon as an opportunity
offered she asked him if he was sick,
and he gasped out that he had been
overcome by n sudden sense of suffoca-
ton, but was better now
The lady resumed her purchasing,
and selected a costly ring with a re-
quest that it be sent to her husbands
address. AS she left the store she no
ticed that some one was apparently
following her. In an hours time she
reached her residence, and was aston
ished to find her husband closeted with
a detective, who had informed him
that it had been reported at police
headquarters that a genteelly dressed
diamond thief had attempted to spray
chloroform in the face of a jeweler, and
when detected had given her address
as his house. The detective had just
completed description of the lady and
her address as furnished to the police
when the lady herself entered and was
at once greeted by the official as his
wife.
The explanations that followed made
the situation scarcely less embarrassing.
The ring was returned to the jeweler
with an admonition to be more careful

Where Oil Was First Used.

1t is to the Persian language that we
must go for the derivation of the term
naphtha, the root nafata meaning to
exude, and the oil was so called on ac-
count of its exuding from the soil The
native naphtha of Persia and Japan
would seem to have furnished the ma
tives with lamp illuminant from the
very earliest ages It's first authentic
use in Europe would, however, seem to
date back no farther than the later
part of last century, when a limited
supply of lamp oil'' obtained from a
district in Calabria was utilized by the
italian peasantry to light their dwell
ings.-Chambers' Journal
