MR.. RUST GETS A LETTER.

Somewhat Delayed Because Addressed
Undor Chemical Name
As curious a letter as has been re-
ceived in Kansas City for many months
reached the postoffce the other morn
ing, and after great display OF learn
Ing on the part OF some OF the clerks
it was finally delivered to the man for
whom it was intended, says the Kan
sas City Times. The distributing clerk
who first got hold Of the letter looked
at it In despair. II was plainly evident
that the writer of the letter had been
burning the midnigh: oil in an attempt
to battle the postofiice force. The first
line contained tho letters u. S.
FE2O3." The letters were plain
enough but what did they mean? The
next line began with large A, then
there was carefully executed drawing
OF what had the appearance of bar
ber's comb, then a small a, and finally
representation of house. drawn by
one whose early education had been
sfdly neglected. What should have
been the third line of the address was
in the shape of 4 more or less accurate
map of Kansas City, showing the june
tion and the streets in that vicinity.
The last line was another map, show
Ing the boundaries of the state of Mis-
souri,. II was plain enough that the
letter was for some one who lived in
the state OF Missouri and in Kansas
City. II did not take a great stretch
Of imagination to discover that the
comb and the sketch OF house had
some vague reference to the Acoma
building. So far 1t was easy sailing
But who was the mysterious y S.
FE2O3?" After puzzling his brain for
n long time without any good result,
the clerk took the letter to Mike Clerk
Garfield, who is supposed to be able to
guess all sorts OF conundrums.
II can tell you part OF ii" said he.
Il can tell you that 'FE2O3' are the
chemical symbols for ferric oxide.
Now. If you can find out who he is you
are all right"
Still the distributing clerk was un-
able to solve the question. lie went
about asking everyone what he knew
about ferric oxide. lie finally encoun-
tered one man who was more Of a
chemist than the others. and he i'm
parted to him the information that fer
ric oxide In common parlance Is called
rust" That is how ]. g. Rust resolved
the letter over which his friend In
Conception, Mo. had spent 80 much
time.

FINAL "a" BAD FOR SHIPS.
Some Recent Wrecks Were Guilty of
That Lack of Foresight

Insurance underwriters look askance
at vessels which have n final "a" in
their names. The first letter of the
alphabet is considered a hoodoo when
1t ends the name of deep sea ship.
Many of the most serious wrecks of
the last year have been of vessels carry
ing the hoodoo letter.
One day lately, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner, the telegraph an
nounced that the British ship Androsa,
from that port for Liverpool with one
of the most valuable cargoes that was
ever carried out of that harbor, was
lost within n few leagues of her desti-
nation. The next day word was re-
ceiyed that the Orealla, bound from Vic
toria for Liverpool, had been swept by
heavy seas and badly damaged Her
mate and one sailor were drowned. The
wires told on the same day of the total
loss of the British ship Nillanta and the
drowning of her master near Free
mantle, and q few days later the papers
gave the news of the loss of the steamer
Wallapa and of the Bleaching of the
Dora in Alaska waters.
During the last two or three years
the most serious wrecks on the coast
were of vessels whose names ended with
the hoodoo letter. The wreck of the
Colima was the most horrifying of all.
/ hen came the loss of the steamer CO.
lumbia, and a few weeks later the pas
scnger steamer Umatilla ran ashore and
narrowly escaped destruction.
