History ReDeated.

In the latest Australian mining Jews.
saws the London Daily Chronicle, there
IS an account of the discovery of a val
liable golden reef in a curious fashion.
\ dog out walking with his master, a
farmer, chased and caught kangaroo.
In the struggle the ground got torn up,
and when the farmer arrived on the
scene his eye detected some exposed
specimens of golden quartz. Further
search revealed a rich reef. and the
farmers bank balance has been con-
siderably increased by his dogs fight
with the kangaroo. Thirty years ago
a long productive Australian gold field
was discovered through a short-tem-
pered settler seizing the nearest stone
and throwing it at the dog. Returning
good for evil, the dog brought the stone
back 70 its master in its mouth. The
man looked at it. 1t was a lump of
quartz thickly studded with gold.

QUEEREST SUIT ON RECO-
Partn e,rs in Highway Robbery Went
Into Court to Settle Their Busi-
ness Accounts.

Perhaps the most remarkable suit
ever brought is on the records of tho
court of the eXchequer in England.
1t was filed on October 3, 1925, and
it sets forth very clearly that john
Everit and Joseph Williams were
highway robbers, says the New York
World.
In the succinct legal phrases the
complaint says that the men formed
a partnership for the purposes of
carrying on business as highwaymen.
1t was mighty profitable, as was
shown by the fact that Everit sued
Williams for the equivalent of $1,000,
''being for moneys wrOngfully apprO
priated to defendants private purse
This was the amount in dispute
after the partnership had lasted only
a year. Then Everit claimed that
he discovered that his partner had
not made fair division of the spOils.
The action was adjudged to be
gross contempt of court, and the
plaintiff was ordered to pay all
costs, while the solicitors who served
the writ were fined so each. One
of the solicitors, a man named
WreathcOck, refused to pay the fine
and was sent to prison for SIX
months. Both plaintiff and defend
ant to this action were subsequently
hanged-one at Tyburn and the other
at Maidstone.

WATER SUPPLY IN JERUSALEM
Known in SOIOmOn's Time
.The Sealed Fountain"

According to consular reports from
Jerusalem the most noteworthy un-
5ertaking during the past year has
oIv for the city. The water IS
brought in iron pipes from a spring
situated about seven miles distant
and known in King Solomon's time
rs THE Sealed Fountain" Hereto
fore the water supply has been very
uncertain and lately a water famine
was only prevented by the assistance
of the railroad company.
Municipal authorities, realizing the
necessity of guarding against an
emergency of this character in fu-
ture, obtained permission to use
some of the revenues of the "Evkaf,"
or religious endOwments, for the pur-
pose of securing a water supply for
The city. This sum amounted to sew
eral thousand dollars. A commission
was formed of the local officials to
undertake the work and an engineer
was sent from ConstantinOple to su-
Eervise it. While the greater part
of the seven miles was laid with four
inch iron pipes it was possible to use
a portion of the old stone aqueduct,
known as "Solomon's Aqueduct," for
carrying the water. Two public
fountains have been erected, one in
side and the other outside the city
walls.
Notwithstanding the expectation
that the water supply would be all
that was necessary the size of the
city, says the Municipal Journal and
Engineer. will require that consider
able additions be made to the supply
in the near future.

SECRECY AS TO THE STYLES.

Said buyer for one of the leading

there was nothing in it about the

hand were resumed.

NIGHT TURNED INTO DAY.
The Expensive Notion of a Retired
Stock Broker Who Had Money
to Burn.

A transformation of the interior of
a family mansion resulted in an ex-
traordinary inversion of the plans Of
nature. The owner, Mr.. Browniohn.
retired stock broker, was deter
mined to turn night into day. and it
cost him thousands of pounds to do
1t, according to Pearson's Weekly.
All the outside windows of the house
were built up, so as to exclude every
ray OF natural light. Entrance to the
mansion was by an underground pas
sage; and every room had a door and
window opening onto magnificent
central space, which was open to the
roof. From the roof, when it was
night outside, an imitation sun shOne
forth an electric glare, which filled
the whole place with a light as of
day.
The wealthy eccentric rose at nine
o'clock each evening, and, having
breakfasted, started on a DAYS rou-
tine of work and pleasure He
1unched at one in the morning, drank
a cup of tea about four a. m, and
dined at seven o'clock, retiring to
rest about ten and eleven a. m,
when, by an ingenious sliding ar
rangement in the roof, the bright
sky and imitation sun were at once
transformed into a cOncave expanse
of inky blackness; from out of which
a host of false stars twinkled, and an
