THORN OF GLASTONBURY.

Mira cuIous stories Told of the Tree
which Iiiootns oo christmas.
At Glastonbury Abbey, in Somerset
shire. England. once stood a thorn tree
which, it Is said. bloomed every Christ
mas morning. The first authentic ac-
count of it ever written was in 1752 by
"a visitor who tells Of il in the account
of his visit TO the abbey.
The keeper assured him that st.
Joseph of Arimathea landed not far
from the town. at place where there
was formerly an oak that had been
planted to his memory; that he and his
companions marched to 4 hill and
rested themselves, and that Joseph
stuck his staff on the ground. Now this
staff was a common dry hawthorn stick.
but it grew and first came into fun
flower on Christmas day. Afterward
the tree, which had thus grown and
budded like Aarons rod. always
bloomed on the day of our Lords ma
tivity and upon no other day, the
flower. like those of the night-b loom
ing cereus, lasting but a few hours.
Many queer stories have been told of
the miraculous Thorn of Claston-
bury" 1t was said that if the chips
from it were planted they would sprout
and grow like potatoes; that the leaves
cured all inflammations, swellings, etc,
and that rods" cut from it would
never leave marks on the children cor
rected by their use

The GREAT BARRIER REEF.
One of the Marine Wonders of the Au,
Ir.llisln 4 oiISt.

One of the Marine Wonders of the Aus
tralian oaSt.
One of the wonders of the world Is
the great barrier reef of Australia.
This stupendous rampant of coral
stretching in an almost unbroken line
for twelve hundred and fifty miles
along the northeastern coast of Aus
tralia, presents features of interest
which are not to be equaled in any
other quarter of the globe.
Nowhere Is the action of the little
marine insect which builds up with un-
tiring industry those mighty monu-
ments with which the tropical seas are
studded more impressive; nowhere are
the wonderful constructive forces of
nature more apparent. BY a simple
process of accretiou there has been
reared in thcscourse of countless cen
turies an adamantiIte wall, against
which the gigantic billows of the Pa
citic, sweeping along IN an unlnter-
rupted course of several thousand
miles, dash the mselves in Intellectual
fury.
Inclosed within the range of its pro
tecting arms is a calm. inland sea,
eighty thousand square miles in ex-
tent. dotted with a multitude of coral
islets and presenting at every turn OBJ
jects of interest alike to the unlearned
traveller and the man of science. Here
may be witnessed at one hundred diff
fereut points the singular process by
which the wavy gclatinous living mass
hardens into stone, then serves as a
collecting ground for the fiotSam and
ietSam of the ocean, and ultimately
develops an island covered with lux
urious mass of tropical growth.
Here again, may be seen in the
serene depths of placid pools extraor-
binary forms of marine life, aglow
with the most brilliant colors and pro
ducing in their infinite variety be

life of the ocean

MODERN TITLES.

AN English bishop is properly ad
dressed as my lord"
SEIGNEUR was the title originally
given TO the-ruler of a district.
ENGLAND has twenty-seven dukes,
Scotland seven. Ireland two.
BISHOPS have made experimental use
of nearly all the titles in existence.
THERE are in England, according to
Lodge, only seven peers of the blood
royal.
BARoNs are styled Right Honorable
Lord --, and addressed as my lord. "
ALL members of the families of peers
have their titles of honor, varying
with rank.
y DUKE is styled his grace, the duke
of -, and addressed as my lord, duke
or your grace"
THERE are five orders of nobility in
England-the duke, marquis, earl, Wis
count and baron.
"YoUR HONOR" is now devoted to
judges. English judges are addressed
as your lordship."
THE race of baronets was created bv
James l. in 1911, and is found only in
Great Britain.

SIGNED I'M BLOOD.
Contract of Murderous Members of "a
Moonshiners' Association.

MoonshIners' Association.

Kentucky and Tennessee, with whom
he associated while visiting that sec

4 became more or less intimate with
many of them" said he to New York
Times reporter, land learned of the
existence of very strange sort of as
sociation having its headquarters in
one of the counties in southern Ken
tuclxy, bordering on Tennessee. The
object of the association was to pro-
tect the members from the government
and to encourage the manufacture and
sale of Illicit whisky. Whenever a MEM
ber of the band was arrested by the
'revenooers,' as the revenue officers
are called, three or four others would
testify to an alibi. Each member was
bound by an oath signed in blood TO
kill anyone who informed on another.
In this way they hoped to protect each
other from the raids of the deputy
marshals. The secret leaked out in
some way, and for 4 time-until the
band was effectually broken up-the
men, when captured, were taken to
Louisville for trial; but there's just as
much moonshining done away back in
the fastnesses of the mountains as

SLOT MACHINES.
One of the Most Novel of Them Is Ten
Thousand Years Old

One of the Most Novel of Them Is Ten
Thousand Years Old
Probably one of the latest appliances
of the principle governing the opera
tion of the slot machine is found in
the hot water fountains which have
been brought out in France, says Cas-
sier's Magazine.
These fountains are put up in the
public street and afford the conven-
ience of supplying at any hour of the
day or night a certain quantity OF hot
water in return for coin of certain
value. which is dropped into the slot
in the now so familiar way. The
dropping of the coin automatically
governs the flow of water from the
street mains through a small boiler,
heated by a series of gas jets, and sim
ilarly regulates the quantity of gas
which is admitted, and which is lighted
by means of a small, constantly main
tained ignited jet
The French hot water machine
brings back TO mind very strikingly
the apparatus designed more than two
thousand years ago by Hero, of Alex
andria. which furnishes one of many
similar illustrations of the extent 10
which the ancients made use of what
are often supposed to be entirely mod
ern ideas.
Curiouslv enough, Hero's machine. IL
may here be repeated, was operated by
a coin representing five drachmas.
The coin, in falling, struck lever,
opened "A valve and let out a small
quantity of holy water When the
coin fell off the lever the valve was
closed.
Hero went still further, however, by
inventing an automatic bartender on
the coin-in-the-slot principle. This
was a vase containing three kinds Of
liquor in different compartments, with
a faucet arranged so "a to be opened

ther vet by larger or heavier coin.
and then still further by still larger
or heavier coin
The extent TO which the faucet was
opened determined which chamber
should communicate with IL, and hence
which of the three liquors should be
allowed to escape. This machine. APP
