Here they made canoes and set to sea to find the exact location of the moons They thought 1t was in the ocean but their searches revealed that they were far from the coveted spot Al last they gave up the idea of md ihe the home of the moons in disgust. They hated to be outdone 50 retired to their camps and lay around grieving over their misfortune. True to nature this grieving caused some old people to hum and sing, this Is the first time that an indian was ever known to sing. while this singing was going on the young people began to keep time in a rude way and this was the origin of boys and girls were sporting in the surf and while thus engaged the chill dren discovered oysters and these were the first oysters ever eaten by any one.
 One day a strange boy came into the treat Creek camp who was later found to be one of pair of twins. He be- ing the weak-niinded one of the twins had rambled off from his tribe of which tn6 SEGSko Ahcw wy was the maker of fire among the Amer ican Indians although he was looked upon as idiotic Ills was full of mis- chief as an egg is, of meat. Once when passing by tepee and finding a boy about his age, keeping the flies on of some fresh venison that was being dried in the hot sun while thus en- gagged he was also turning some green arrows In the sun in order to season IA. v.tA r some of the arrows and straightened them. While thus engaged he took a couple of the straightest ones and walked up to an old pine log with a knot hole in 1t inserting the arrows and In mischief began rubbing them together in the hot sun until they smoked and as the smoke became stronger he continued rubbing until a little blaze issued from the log. This to camp and the little twin for fun piled pine twigs on the log whicr ig- i1ited at once and to have more fun he piled up the venison on the fire and left that part of the big encampment. Thus we have the discovery of fire by the Indian. The other boy run to camp and reported what had happened. so several went with the boy to see what had been done by the little stray boy and when the crowd came to the pine log, sure enough there was a great fire and the venison badly burned. They went to the log and found that 1t was a hot element. They dragged out the venison with sticks and one pinched of several pieces and out of curiosity ate some of 1t under protest from the older ones. but he claimed that 1t was good flavor. Thus we have the Indian eating the first cooked meat. The others were slow but final ly adopted the new idea of eating cooked meat.

Admiral Helen Gould.

Miss Helen Gould was saluted with
the two ruffles of an admiral as she
boarded the battleship Alabama at the
Brooklyn navy yard, says the New
York World. A "ruffle" is roll of
the drum with the bugles. The presi-
dent of the United States receives
three ruffles. 1t was the pretty COM
pliment of the 700 jackies to the wo-
man who has done so much for them.
Miss Gould had been invited to in
spect the ship, which Lieutenant Com
mander Schumacher told her was "the
finest" With her were Miss Edith
Hay, Kingdom Gould, her nephew, and
Chester Harrison, her cousin She
was received on the quarterback and
every one of the jackies received a
nod of greeting from her as the line
filed past in review. Rear-Admiral
Coghlan led the way in the inspection
of the battleship.
The only thing that went wrong
was the dog, the mascot. The Rev.
John F. Carson in brief talk mad
vertently spoke of the president as
Teddy" At this the dog set up a
howl. The dog was banished from it's
place of honor and it was explained
that it meant no harm, but was only
saluting it's own name.
Whenever Miss Gould visits an army
post the enlisted men salute her as
II she were an officer.

Blaine and His Hostess Gale.

About twenty-seyen years ago the
late James G. Blaine was invited to

wealth than for intelligence. 1t was
near the middle of March, and storm
was coming on, which, the husband re-

what do you mean by that? Is 1t
the same as the line gale?" she asked
The husband replied in the affirma.

told her it was usual to expect a
storm twice a year, when the sun
crossed the equinox.
"That day at dinner" said Mr.
Blaine, 81 remarked upon the severity
of the storm and my hostess, with an
engaging smile, replied: Eyes, Mr.
Blaine, isn't it singular that we al

Hull Of Famous American Vessel
Found in Harbor Of Tripoli.

Charles Wellington Furlong made a
systematic search at Tripoli of Bar
barry for the lost remains of the fam
Gus America frigate Philadelphia, de-
stroyed in the harbor of Tripoli 100
years ago. He tells in Harper's
Magazine the romantic story of how
he found the vessel at last:
'In less than an hour my search
was rewarded by seeing the ends of
the great ribs of vessel protruding
through dull-colored ell-grass. / no
ticed that this grass seemed to follow
the lines of the ribs, and carefully
noted it's character, further to aid
me in my search. Examining these
closely, no doubt was left in my
mind but that they belonged to a
large vessel, and ordered the boatmen
to let fall the anchor.
"The lead gave us two and a half
and three fathoms. Hastily undress-
ing, we dived several times. Mr..
Riley first succeeded in buoying the
spot by going down with the line and
slipping it over one of the ribs.
While on the bottom I carefully ex-
amined the timbers. These were
honeycombed in certain parts in a
peculiar way. The continual sea-
wash of century seemed to have
made it's inroads at the softest places,
and they gave every appearance in
fora of partially burned stumps
The wood seemed almost as hard as
iron. Much of it was enclosed in a
fossil crust, and only by repeated eff
forts / succeeded in breaking off a
small piece. The many winds from
the desert and the shifting shoals of
sand had filled in and around the fri
gate, and her keel must have lain
buried nearly two fathoms deeper
than the present sea bottom. The
freshening breeze made further in
vestigation impossible; so, after taxi
ing bearings and leaving the spot
buoyed, we returned to the shore,
landing amid an awaiting, curious
crowd of Turks, Arabs and blacks.
"Six days later, through the cour-
tesy and interest of the officers of the
Greek warships Crete and Paralos,
ships cutter and machine boat with
divers were placed at my disposal"

HIGH SPEED ON RAILWAYS.
Hundred Miles an Hour Must Be Made
on Separate Tracks.

Hundred Miles an Hour Must Be Made
on Separate Tracks.
A study of the net results of the
German experiments on the Berlin
Zossen railway with trains electrically
propelled at high velocity appears to
have led thoughtful railway men to
the conclusion that any attempts to
force train acceleration on steam rail
roads would be destructive of rolling
stock and permanent way and Incl
dentally of passengers and train crews.
AS pointed out in the paper of DR..
Frederick Schultz before the Interna-
tional Railway Congress, the best type
of modern railway equipment can be
operated safely at speeds of more than
LOO miles an hour, provided a clear
way can be assured.
This is exactly the difficulty which
it would not seem possible to over
come in a railroad operated for
mixed traffic. At speed of 100 miles
an hour, unless the weather is quite
clear track signals cannot be distin-
guished clearly enough to be read
Will Gel Id1uly. Ills mGduS IudC a
railroad devoted to very high speeds
would need to be divided into long
blocks, and before a train entered
upon block it's conductor must know
that the road is clear.
Such blocks would need to be ap-
proximately hundred miles long,
which means the surrender Of every
other kind Of traffic which now keeps
out of the way of fast trains by TAX
ing sidings or otherwise temporarily
withdrawing itself from the track
which belongs to the flyer" AS
matter Of fact this would mean separ-
ate tracks for high-speed trains, over
or under the other tracks, with abso-
lutely no grade crossings and no
points or switches by which slower
moving trains could have access to
such tracks. Anything like coinci-
dent movement of freight and passen--
ger traffic would be impossible.-New
York Times.

State Sues Executed Mans Estate

The state of Virginia has instituted
suit against the estate of the late
Samuel McCue, mayor of Charlottes-
vile, who was hanged for murder. de-
handing that the state be rein. bursed
for the expense to which it was put
IN convicting him. The suit is for So
O97.42.< 1t seems a peculiar thing that
a mans estate should bear the cost
OF his conviction and death. But the
same principle practically lis applied
IN the case of commercial receiver
ships, in which the corporation put
into the hands of a receiver is made
to pay the costs of the action which
takes it out of the hands of it's man
agement, the argument being that the
interests of the creditors are thus pro-
tected, and this should be the main
consideration of the matter. In the
case Of the condemned murderer. the
general body Of society is guarded
and the offender, it may be. held,
should be put to all the penalties of
his offense. But if the individual
criminal is to bear the cost of his con-
viction by the state, the person who
is put on trial and acquitted should
be reimbursed for the expense to
which he is subjected for tie defense.

Fad for Optimism.

One of the most wholesome fads
that has been prevalent among So
ciety at large is the newest of all
optimism.
For it is no longer the fashion to go
about looking as though you bore the
burdens of the world upon your devot-
ed shoulders. But, instead, you're ex-
pected to look blithely upon the old
world and it's troubles-and your own
troubles, too, says the Philadelphia
North American.
Perhaps it is our free outdoor life
that has developed the quality. Per-
haps it is only a new pose-for pub
lie opinion must have it's poses, like
every individual.
Surely it should make happier,
healthier communities out of cities
and states. Good cheer is more or
less of habit-pretend to have it.,
and you suddenly wake up to find
you've really got it, and, too, have
created more joyous atmosphere for
yourself, that gradually grows neces-
sary to you.
The happy habit is good one
much better than the tragic-faced,
world-weary type that preceded it.
May the new fad stay in fashion!
