FAMOUS CONVICT sAlR

"Tae Chamber OF Horrora' Which Waa
 Bune Hundred Years Ago.
 One Of the curiosities in England at present is the old convict ship Success. which has recently been converted into a museum, or into what a foreign jour nalist style "a chamber of horrors" She was built no years ago, and her first years were spent ir cruising be. tween the East Indies and England. Iii 1929 the British admiralty bought and stationed her in the waters of westerr Australia. Capt. Stirling was then in command, and from his Scottish birth place She town Of Perth in Australia takes it's Same. From 1847 to 1851 tha Success pied between London anu East Adelaide. On her last trip abs had on board several hundred immf- grants who intended to seek tteir for tunes iR the newly discovered gold fields During the voyage the captain, the other officers, and the entire crew boeame seized with the same gold fever and the result WAS that when land was reached they, too, left the ship and went off 10 seek their fortunes. The Success was next used to transport criminals of the deepest dye to Var Diemen's Land, as Tasmania was theu called, and she also served as floating prison for especially dangerous crim- inals. The vessel then became popu- 3arly know mas "The Hell of the Ocean,, title which was evidently we'll deserved. Old records show that some awful scenes took place on her. The prisoners cells were in two tiers under the deck, and were so small that inmates could hardly move in them. Moreover, they were so fashioned that they could be made light or dark. and she most insubordinate prisoners were always placed in the latter. These curious cells, many of the old instru- ments of torture and a number of waE figures representing famous criminals are now being exhibited on the Sue cess, and are attracting a crowd Of sightseers. The old ship is at present in Leith Harsor. in Scotland, ~New York Herald.

TURKISH BoYs IN SCHOOL

Some Astonishing Yarns Taught tho
 Young Students.
 The beginning Of Mahommedaa boys school life is always made an occasion for a festival. IL occurs on his seventh birthday The entire school goes to the new scholars home, leading a richly caparisoned and flower bedecked donkey The new pupil is placed on this little beast, asI with his hodja, or teacher, leading the children form double file and escort him to the schooIhouse, singing joyous hy. ns. To a stranger the common Turkish school presents a singular scene. The pupils are seated cross-1egged on the bare marble pavement in the porch of the mosque, forming a semieirele about hodja, who is, as 8 rule. an old fat man. He holds in his hand a stick long enough to reach every student. By means of this rod he is enabled not only to preserve order among the mis- ehieYous, but to urge on the boy whose recitation is not satisfactory. But as 8 rule, hodjas are lazy and often fall asleep. 4 half-grown boy, in the pres ence of missionary. who tells the story, asked the hodja What makes it rain?" "jtp in the clouds" an- swered this wise teacher. "our propheH Mahomet and the one who belongs to the Christians went into business te- gether, the profits to be divided. One night Mahomet stole ali the profits and ran away. In the morning when the Christian god discovered his loss ha pursued Mahomet in his golden char lot. the rumbling of whose wheels makes the thunder. The lightning are the bullets of fire which the god shot after his fleeing partner. Mahomet, finding he could not escape in midair, plunged into the sea, the Christian god followed him. the shock sp1ashed the water out, and it fell to the earth in rain" The young Turks, believing the teachings of their hodia, grow np with out further Investigating the causes of rain, the true source of which is taught an American child in the Kindergarten. ,~.Boston Globe

EARLY LAMPS AND wIoKs. z
The Eateer Were Commonly the Pith
 of she Rush.

It would be hazardous to Ct 1ject0re what the first wick consisted of, but Shen we come to consider the iron lamp or @efusie," we know that the wick commonly used was the pith or the rush, which was gathered and par tially stripped of it's outer green cover ing, cut into proper lengths, dried aud tied up into bundles ready for use. The iron lamp was hammered out of one piece of iron in a stone mold. This was usually done by the blacksmith. and the moids are still to be seen in museums, in the hands Of private eel- lectors, and. no doubt at some of the country blacksmith shops. They are of uniform shape. with some slight va. rIeties. The lamp consists of two cups. Jne suspended above and inside the other. The sHspender is so fixed ana notched ss to enable the upper cup, hieh holds the oil and wick, to bs shifted, and to keep the oil constantly in contact with the wick. The lower cup catches the drip of the oil, which can be easily replaced in the upper cup by lifting 1t off until the oil is poured into it. The upper cup has sometimes a moveabfe lid. There is a remarkable resemblance not only between the iron crusies in this country, put to those on the continent and in Egypt. They preserve the same general shape, but differ il the material from which they are made The Pompeian lamps, or at least some of them, might be described IS three crusies in one. The cup of the lamp is the same, but 1t has provision for three lights. The oil used in the Scotch lamps was of the coarsest kind. On the west coast the oil used was, and is still, fish oil. The material for Wicks was variable.

WHAT AsroNIsHEDrHE SCOUT
ostriches in south Africa Are ofton
 Exceedingly Familiar.

The war in South Africa is produc, tive of the greatest curiosities that have ever come under the notice of the British soldiers One of the latest re- ports from the scene states that the simpie-minded British soldiers have mistaken troops of ostriches for band4 of Boers and bands of Boers for troops of ostriches. In some cases the os- eriches have made friends with the soldiers. One of the best known cor. respondents at the front, who was with General Methuen at the Modder river, reports this remarkable incl dent: While 1 ranged the valley or plain with my glasses something silp- ped and tumbled heavily over the loesu stones behind me. I turned, thinking to dodge or help l stumbling man and found myself staring into the great brown eyes of an ostrich six feet tall and with legs almost as thick as and longer than my own. He came uB here some days ago, said soldier and he always stays here now. We feed him and fool with him, and he seems very happy. The ostrich stalked past me and took a position between the major and the captain, where after appearing to observe that they were very busy scanning the landscape, he, too, stared at the plain and remained erect and Watehful. the highest type Of a sentry in appearance. He marred this fine effect for just a moment by seizing and swallowing a box of safety matches. After that he continued his sentry duty with satisfaction in his eyes" The ostrich is a great figure in public life in South Africa He is 8 source of wealth and often a friend and companion.@H is a valuable sub. stltute for watch dog. He can kick 8 horse to death and is, therefore, very formidable to bu lars He eats with relish things that would poison tha strongest goat that e3ae4 liyed.-New York Journal

Other Tints Are Sometimes Found
 Among Ceylon Gems.
 Tt is commonly believed that the sapphire is known only as a gem of a tich velyety blue in color," observed an experienced dealer in precious stones to the writer the other day. "As a matter of fact, the sapphire occurs in various hues. In Ceylon, for in1 stance, where the finest specimens of this gem are found, it ranges from the soft Yelvety blue to the peacock blue graduated in the latter to an almost iaultless white. It also occurs in whites, greens and yellows, the latter shade being known as the oriental to- paz and the green the oriental emerald. The white sapphires are often found clouded or streaked with blue, so that many specimens are cut which are white when looked at transverseIy. but having bit of fine blue tint on the under point Then there is the red sapphire, or Ceylon ruby. It is valued as highly as the finest Burmese rubies. These most highly prized are of rich pigeon blood or rose-red color. Some very fine sapphires have been found in Montana during the pcst ten years. The American gems are light blue, blue-green, green and pink, but the deep blue and red stones, which are chiefly in demand as jewels, have so far never been discovered in any part of this country s"-Washington Star.
