of Portugal. The present ruler, whose
full title is King of Portugal and the
Algarves within and beyond the seas
in Africa, Lord of Guinea and of the
navigation and commerce of Ethiopia,
Arabia, Persia and the Indies, owes his
succession to the wholesale poisoning
which carried off so many members of
the royal house of Braganza some years
ago. These mysterious deaths have
never been fully cleared up, and the
explanation given of them in Lisbon
forms a strange story. Pedro V. of
Portugal was married to Staphanie, sis
ter of the hereditary prince of Hohen-
zollern, who was conducted to Lisbon
by her brother Leopold. Within a few
months she was taken i'll suddenly and
died in less than a week. Soon after
ward two brothers of the king were sim
ilarly attacked, one of whom died. The
king was the next victim. After that
the cook was murdered in the kitchen;
another of the kings household was
subsequently attacked by the malady
which had carried off himself and wife,
and three princes of the royal house
suffered but recovered, and finally it
was concluded that the bad drainage
of the palace caused the trouble. Some
time afterward, however, an old scieh-
fist travelling in the east arrived in
Lisbon and, learning the circumstances,
declared the victims were poisoned by
a vegetable poison known only to him
self and one other person, lady who
had been his pupil in chemistry. The
description of the other person identi-
fed her as Countess Lionora, daughter
of a duke, with whom the king was
deeply in love before he married, who
ardently loved him in return and sought
that means of revenge against the
queen and the royal family, which had
prevented the marriage that the young
people desired to contract.

the Indians while building their RATS

This wonderful freak, lying about
5h miles from the rough little mining
town of Elko, is never visited by the in
habitants unless they are passing that
way and feel hungry. The miners and
the rest of the matter-of-fact popula-
ton have long ceased to wonder at

istence of this boiling soup caldron as

Colored Snow and Hall.

Storms in which red, yellow and
orange colored snow fell were recorded
as long ago as the sixth century. Hum
boldt mentions hailstorm which once
occurred in Palmero in which every
hailstone was as red as a globule of
frozen blood. On March IA, 1913, there
was a hailstorm in Tuscany in which
the individual stones were each of a
bright yellow color. In 1908 at Car
niola, Germany, they had a fall of Grim
son snow which was nearly five feet
in depth. Snow of a brick-red hue fell
in Italy in 1916, and in the Tyrol in
1s47. In some sections of Iceland snow
seldom falls to any considerable depth
without being composed of alternate
layers of frozen crystals of different
colors. Sir John Ross mentions Arctic
banks of red snow which are so well
known to explorers that they are called
the "crimson cliffs"

PORTUGAL'S CROWN.
Dom Carlos Wishes to Dispose Of
the Costly Bauble.
1t Il the Finest Thing of Its Kind In the
World and Is Said to Represent
Value of Eight Million
Dollars.

Dom Carlos, king of Portugal, recent
Iy succeeded as a royal attraction in
London to King Khama of South Africa,
and Nasr Ullah Khan of Afghanistan.
Dom Carlos brought his crown with
him, and this fact alonewas sufficient to
make his visit of peculiar interest. 1t
was officially announced that he wished
to consult London jewellers concern
ing repairs to be made to the crown, but
the truth is that he is DESTROYS of realiz-
ing considerable sum of ready money
on the bauble. His salary has not been
paid for two years, and there is distress
in the royal palace at Lisbon, appropri-
ately called the Necessidades.
The crown of Portugal is the most
valuable in Europe, although little has
been heard about it. 1t is valued at
$s,OOO,Ooo. After it comes the crown of
Russia, valued at $2,500,000, and next
that of Great Britain, valued at So ,000,-
600.
The Jewels in the crown consist of
diamonds, rubies, pearls, sapphires and
emeralds, set in solid gold. Its weight
is three pounds five ounces troy.
The foundation of the crown-that is,
the part which rests upon the head-7is
a solid heavy band of gold, completely
covered with precious stones. Many of
them are historical relics of PortugaPs
former greatness. They were brought
to enrich the crown of Portugal
when the mines of the Indies and Brazil
were at the disposition of that valiant
little country.
Conspicuous among the jewels deco
rating the band are four enormous dia-
monds, cut in regular diamond shape,
and four rubies.
From the band rise four heraldic oak
leaves. Each of these is also studded
with precious stones.
From the eight leaves issue four
arches which come together in point
above the crown. The arches are dec
Grated with the conventional gold
balls usually seen in crowns, but the
interstices are filled with diamonds.
Above the point of the arches is a
ieweled ball, or orb, and this is finally
surmounted by a Maltese cross.

A Wonderful Freak of Nature Found In

The free soup houses might have been

barrels of the chicken soup thatbubbles

Useful Machines.

Two of the most interesting automa-

government for counting and tying
postal cards into small bundles. These
machines are capable of counting 5oo.-
900 cards in ten hours and wrapping
and tying the same in packages of rs
each. In this operation the paper is
pulled off drum by two long fingers
which come up from below and an
other finger dips in vat of mucilage
and applies itself to the wrapping pa
per in exactly the right spot. Other
parts of the machine wrap the paper
around the pack of cards and then a
thumb" presses over the spot where
the mucilage is, and the package is
thrown onto a carry belt ready for de-
livery.

An Absent Minded Minister Gets Himself
Into a Predicament.
A well-known Washington minister
told a good story to a representative
of the Star:
'In a country circuit in Virginia"
he said, sit was the custom to wear
weekday shoes and stockings to
church, because the dust would get
them soiled. Sunday footgear was car
ried along in the hands of the wearers,
and when the church was reached a
change was effected. One of the ablest
ministers in the conference preached at
the church, and being told of the GUS
tom, and having some distance to walk
from where he was being entertained,
adopted The same method. One of the
leading characteristics of the minis
ter was his Observation-Disclosures, and
thrusting his hosiery in his pocket,
he mounted the pulpit. When in the
middle of his discourse he drew out
what he thought was his handlSer-
chief, and after wiping his brow laid
the article down on the pulpit, where,
to his dismay and the amusement OF
the congregation, he discovered that ii
was the pair of extra socks that he
had worn to church. he completed
his sermon, but it was the last time
he ever conformed to that particular
custom of the country"
