had an interview with him next morn

punishment so terrible that it would
effectually prevent others from wan

The trap was one of those usually

HOW ONE STORY TRAVELLED.
Thrilling Narrative About an Impossible
Deed Widely Believed.

Deed Widely Believed.
Queer how a story will travel
sometimes" remarked an old reporter,
boys. says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. Il remember years ago a
fellow on one of the Denver papers
wrote a thrilling narrative about a
p%rospector named Allen who found a
fabulously rich gold mine or the Mount
of the Holy Cross. The peak is one
of the highest and most rugged in Col
orado, and gets its name from two
enormous gulches that cross at right
angles or its very crest. They are
always full of snow, and from the val
ley the cross stands out in wonderful
relief from a background of volcanic
rock. Thomas Moran painted a ia
nous picture of 1t, and away back in
he seventeenth century, when the
Spanish buccaneers pushed up the
thought it was a sign from heaven,
and said high mass. The Denver story
was, of course, a fake. No human be-
ing has eve scaled that frightful ac-
clivity, but Allen, who had consented
beforehand to the use of his name, was
a w~ell-known character, and the yarn
vas swallowed for gospel truth. Then
1t began to travel. The Eastern papers
all copied 1t, and one journal printed
a full-page illustration. Pretty soon
it crossed the Atlantic, and after wan
dering through the English press. be-
gan to appear translated in the pa
pers of France and Germany. 1t is a
strange thing, but stories always trav-
ell eastward. This one went over the
continent like an epidemic, and passed
mutations in transit from one language
to another. 1t was translated from
French to Spanish, from Spanish to
Italian, from Italian to Russian, and at
last 1t got into the orient and disap-
peared. Several years an English
weekly printed at Hongkong contained
a strange story of an American explor-
er named Linwan who had found a
monstrous cruciflx of gold on top Of
the Rocky mountains. 1t was copied
from a native paper, and was all that
was left of the original fake. Heaven
only knows how much tradition it
manufactured. en- route. The story was
subsequently reprinted in San Fran
| cisco, with some account of it's genesis.
1t was almost impossible to believe it
was the same old Holy Cross yarn, but
the evidence was ~indisputable."

Pho 8,
How to Get a Good Service from Ship
to shore.

10 suOro.
Captain John R. Bartlett, U. s. N,
retired, chief Of the coast signal SER
ice during the war with Spain. has
reported to- the department on the
value of carrier pigeons for signaling
purposes. The Baltimore Sun sum-
marizes the report as follows: That
experiments be made for the purpose
OF training homing pigeons in connec-
ton with coast signaling for the rea-
son that they offer a solution OF the
problem Of communication with YES
sells In the off-shore patrol fleet. These
vessels would most probably operate
In districts having established bases,
and at such distance from the coast
and from the inshore patrol that visual
signaling would be impossible. A
homing pigeon service cannot be i'm
provised and be Of any real value.
The birds must be Systematically and
patiently trained for a year or two,
not only to equip the cotes with train
ed carriers for that locality, but to
furnish a stock OF sea-bred breeders.
experimental cotes should be located
at the base OF naval coast defense dis
tricts, a small vessel provided with a
carrier pigeon outfit, md an officer de-
tailed to develop this means of COM
munication and superintend the sys-
tematic training of the birds. Unless
this Is done with intelligence for at
least a year 1t would be useless to rely
upon 1t at all. Such a system could
be economically inaugurated and could
be maintained at a comparatively
slight cost. A simple routine of drills,
exercises and reports based upon our
recent experiences could be readily
put into operation, and small rewards
or appropriate rating would stimulate
proficiency. In times Of peace such
service would be Of constant conven-
fence to this department and to the
maritime interests OF the country, and
the constant practice would prepare
the men for the emergencies of war.
Attention is called to the fact that
every other maritime nation has such
a system, generally much more elabo-
rate than the one herein proposed, or
ganized and operated under its naval
or maritime department.

Burma was a most disturbed country
from 1852 to 1856. This is a story told
by Mr.. Henry Stone, a young British
officer, who was there during that pc
Rod, engaged in railroad 'construc-

patched, Mr.. Stone and his party of

not find their way out of the forest.

they rendered their selections. There
was perfect order throughout the day.

which time there will be three SER

was magnificent one and attracted
great many people on account of its
rarity and beauty. A number of the
plants are found over town and they
are now blooming. The sight always
brings crowd of people to gether and
