WAS THIS ANDREES s FATEf
This interior heat, it must be supposed,
is the result of some sort of combustion,
a burning up of various gases and molten
solids. 1t is, of course, inconceivable that
this combustion can go on unless it is fed
by oxygen, and it seems equally clear
that this vast supply of oxygen must
come from outside space. The line of
reasoning is clear enough to this point,
when the question naturally arises, How
does this supply reach the interior of the
eartnf
The various volcanoes of the world are
as SO many pin points as compared with
the entire surface of the earth and the
enormous fire which has been burning
for thousands Of centuries. 1t is incon-
ceiyable that such a fire could be main
tained with such diminutive drafts and
hues. All this points inevitably to the
conclusion that there must be somewhere
an enormous vent or opening to the CEN
ter of the world.
If there were such an opening, it would
naturally be at the poles, where there is
so much less motion than on the revolv-
ing surfaces of the globe The earth,
moreover, in cooling from liquid to a
molten and finally solid body. would
also be more likely to have such an open
ing at these points than at any other. A
perfectly clear line of reasoning is thus
established to explain such a formation.
The theory of this earth chimney is not
entirely new to science. 1t was first ad-
vanced by a scientist named Sims some
rs years ago. This theoretical opening
has ever since gone by the name of Sims
hole A number of scientists nave since
written upon the possibility of its exist
ence, and an immense amount of evidence
has been collected. Mr.. Harrison has col
iected this and arranged 1t in 4 very at
tractive and convincing manner He
meets all objections to the theory in dis
cussing it with an array of scientific facts
and quotations from world famous scien-
ti6c men which goes far to silence criti-
cism.
He argues, for example, that it is en-
tirely conceivable that n hole many miles
In diameter could be in operation without
its making a disturbance of any kind to
the rest of the world. The moon, for ex-
ample, which is much smaller body
than the earth, has a number of large
craters which would serve for fue or
chimney for such a purpose. The arctic
hoor, as far as it is known, shows many
signs Of great volcanic disturbances in
the past ages of the world, and the great
Ice fields probably hide much more evi-
dence Of this kind from our view.

knows, is a mere shell as compared with

ATTRIBUTES OF A BLACK WITCH.
A Strange Combination of Serpentine
Body, Horse Head, Cloven Hoofs
and Forked Tail - Banished For
Many Years.

Leeds devil has reappeared in New

the pioneers of the approach of the civil
war. Back in the middle colonial days,
says the New York Herald, there lived
in Burlington, on the Delaware, the pion-
eer Quaker settlement of the county, a
woman known as Mother Leeds" ac-
cused of amateur witchcraft, and witch
craft was at its height thereabouts at
that time. In 1T35 Mother Leeds gave

A STATEMENT
From a Prominent Physician.
About the Treatment Of Kidney Disorders

DR.. Leopold says that nine-tenths
of the human ailments can be traced
directly to disordered condition of
the kideys. The kidneys are the
filters of the entire system; if they
become clogged or in any way do
not perform their natural functions,
the element reaching the kidneys
through some other channel imme-
diately returns to that channel which
is unnatural and causes trouble. A
slight backache, nervousness and
tinue; mild kidney remedy should
be at ance administered, and the best
combination of remedies is found in
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. They act
gently, though quickly, removing all
sediment from the kidneys and
urine and set the system in proper
working condition.
Mrs. Mary Farsi, 9O1 South High
ST., Akron, Ohio, says: II have
nothing but words of praise for Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids because they re-
lieved me of pain across the small of
my back, which had troubled me for
two years. I was also afflicted with
nervousness and rheumatism. 1 tried
several kinds of medicines which
were recommended to me, but none
did me as much good as Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids. They relieved me in a
few days. / shall continue to take
them until l am entirely cured"

As far back as the memory of men still
living goes the hulk of an old ship has
been seen in Corpus Christi bay on the
west side of Mustang island. When the
wind blew from the shore and forced the
waters of the bay through the Pass Ca
ballo and Pass Corpus Christi, enough
of the wreck could be seen 30 years ago
to enable sailor to make out good
deal about the old ship. Sea dogs said
that she had been a swift sailer and that
she had carried cannon, and some of them
would shake their heads and intimate that
they had serious doubts concerning her

glance. and. realizing that the pirates
with the fast sailing ship would easily
overhaul him in a short time, he tackled
and ran through Pass Corpus Christi into
Corpus Christi bay, behind Mustang is
land. Only two of the smaller vessels
of the pirates fleet were able to follow
the Senada ON account of the shoal wa
ter in the pass. The Spanish vessel
barely slipped into the bay without
grounding and sailed north. The pirates
soon came up with her. and a desperate
battle ensued. The Senada's crew fought
with the courage of despair, and after
the masts of their vessel had been shot
away they jumped overheard and swan
ashore.
Tomas thinks that they scuttled their
ship. for he says that she sank out OF
sight quickly. The pirates were so en-
ragged over the loss of the rich prize that
they ran in close to shore and sent show
ers of grapeshot after the escaping crew.
They sailed back to Galveston island,
with the intention of returning and rais-
ing the prize or rescuing the treasure
with divers, but their chief had become
so much alarmed at the warning given
him by the envoy of the United States
that he abandoned the island and sailed
away to other seas.
Senior Perez thinks that Vasquez in
some way managed to get large guam
tity of the gold that was known to be in
the ship and that he buried it in Mustang
island. Vasquez lived the life of brig
and. Perez is intelligent, and he talks
in plain, straightforward way, evident
ly making no effort to conceal any knowl-
edge that he may possess of the sunken
ship and her cargo of treasure. He ad-
mits that old Vasquez told him that there
was large amount of treasure in the
hull of the old wreck, and he says that
with two of his brothers, who owned
small fishing smack, he once made an at
tempt to explore the old galleon, but
was driven away by the ghosts that
haunted it.

Mad March of Savage Hosts Against
British and American Forces-How
the Taupou Leads q Samoan Army
In Battle.
Sueina is the Samoan Joan of Arc.
She led her savage countrymen against
the British end Americans in the recent
revolt No one can lead the troops Of the
Vaimaunga into armed conflict except the
taupou, or maid OF Naiala. Without 4
taupou no Samoan army can hope TO be
victorious.
Il will lead you, my brothers." said
Sueina. when they asked her. IF you
think me fit
A cry of joy was the Samoans' reply,
and Sueina was installed as their taupou.
There was a long preparation for the
fight that they knew must come. Sueina
must pray first and then anoint herself.
All this was done, and then came the
morning when the white men advanced
to seize for themselves what the simple
Samoans believed was their birthright,
and for which they resolved to fight as
their fathers had fought before them.
There is tradition in Samoa that vic
tory will surely rest with the Samoans in
every fight if the taupou kills the first
living thing that crosses her path after
she starts out at the head of her host.
Ahead ran two men to clear the track,
shouting in lusty Samoan their warnings.
Across the march of the army ran a
small boy, terrified, fleeing like hen into
the face of the foe.
Kill him, o taupou; kill him, and vic
tory is surely ours!'' shouted the van
guard.
Poor Sueina She had been brought
up by the missionaries. 1t was all very
well to go into honorable battle and to
die herself, if needs be, but to take the
life of harmless child was another mat
ter. She hesitated. Suddenly thought
struck her.
Back, backr' she cried. 1T was not
the boy who first crossed my path, but
his dog. Find him quickly or we will
not win the fight today"
A dog isn't such rarity in Samoa, and
in a minute shout of joy told that a
warrior had found one.
The army, now a frer-ied mob, eager
for blood, gathered around her. With
weird incantations the poor, doomed
beast was tied down. Then Sueina's be-
heading knife whirled in air and with
one mighty stroke came down. The poor
beast was cut in twain. Then Sueina
took up her line of march.
Then came the volley. Lieutenant
Freeman fell dead and Lieutenant Lans-

NEW RACE OF GIANTS.
Monsters of Humanity In the South
Polar Regions.

Some papers are exploiting photographs
of race of giants said to have been dis
covered by DR.. Frederick A. Cook, who
has just returned from an exploring ex-
pedition to the south polar regions. The
existence of such race has always been
denied by scientists, but DR.. Cook, it is
said, has not only seen and talked with
them, but brings back photographs to
prove beyond argument that the biggest
race of human beings in the world is to
be found in the frozen south. The mon
strous forms of both the men and women
are clad in furs. The men arm them
selves with bows and arrows and wooden
clubs. Their strength and endurance are
remarkable. The men can outrun any

CAMPING OUT

'Tis now the happy season
When weary mor'als throw
A lot of things together,
And tar away they 90.
They want 10 share the pleasures
They've often heard about
The season of enjoyment
That's found in camping out.
In woodland or by sireamlet
They pitch their little tents,
And often they're declaring,
''Weli. this is Just immensep
They roam about and angle
And find, 10 their delight,
That they are cultivating
A wondrous appetite
They're often heard rejoicing
That they so wisely planned
To spend their summer outing
Where everything is grand,
And often they're regretting
That others can't enjoy
The pleasures found in camping,
With nothing to annoy.
But when the hungry skceters
Discover their. retreat
It's anything but pleasant
The way those insects eat.
Then Willie swipes green apples,
And there is sore dismay
Because the nearest doctor
Is seven miles away.
The days of golden sunshine,
OF course, can't always last,
And by and by the heavens
With clouds are overcast
The rain comes down in torrents,
And campers wildly shout
As to the hill they hustle
Because they're flooded out.
The worn and weary campers
Then sadly travel home,
Each to the other vowing
He nevermore will roam,
But when by neighbors questioned
They're showing nerve sublime,
For each of them is saying,
I'VE had a splendid time!"

 George Hochdertfer, who came in this week, reports an exciting bear story from his district. Early in the week Thomas Brookbanks killed an antelope and at the same time dis covered fresh bear signs. Returning to the house he sent other members or his family to secure the antelope. while he took up the trail of the bear. He found Bruin. Mr. Brookbanks came upon him suddenly, and in the excite ment of the moment his usual good aim failed him, resulting only in crippling and enraging the animal. To his dis may Brook kbanks' gun refused to work, and the only thing left to do was to "climb a tree," which was accom- plished none too soon. The bear went ou guard duty. This happened about sundown, and not until daybreak did Bruin relax his vigilance and give MT. Brook banks an opportunity to escape.
