SOME TITLED OoMesrlcs.

Persons with Royal Blood In Russia
Who Are Forced to LOwly Toll.
The romantic story OF Princess
Helene Zulukidse, who is working as
a bricklayer's assistant in Odessa, Is
by no means an uncommon one. A
correspondent who has studied the Gu
rtous phases Of life in Eastern and
Central Europe reveals some astonish-
ing facts.
The fact that princess should be
compelled to seek such a livelihood
10 by no means so startling an occur
renee az might be supposed. In many
parts Of the continent the fathers title
is inherited by all his children, and
there are several villages in Austria,
Poland and Russia In which all the
peasants are legltimately descended
from some prlncely ancestor. They
are legally described as princes" in
all official documents, and on leaving
their homes many Of these peasant
princes find themselves sadly ham
pered by the burden Of high sound
ing title.
They cannot get rid of the titles,
however, as they are purely personal
ones, and not marketable commodities.
like 90 many in Italy and Portugal,
and by the police regulations no en-
ploye can be engaged without showing
his papers" In which his rank, age
and occupation are stated. Needless
to say, few people are willing to en-
gage workman of legally far higher
rank than themselves, and an instance
of this hardship came to my personal
knowledge recently. The newly mar
ried French wife of wealthy Rus
Bian noble was about to engage a Rus
sian maid at St. Petersburg, when, on
seeing "the papers," she discovered
that the girl was a princess and a
member Of a well-known but ruined
family.
The girl had been vainly seeking
employment for months, but the LADY
declined to engage her.
On reaching her country seat how
ever, the lady discovered, to her

The princess surprised Prince Knut

that he must never under any circum-

Mystery Of Orators.


Everybody who has seen a chart of

knows Of the curious, Irregular, ragged
rings which have been called moon
SraterS' for many years
Now astronomers have raised the
question whether or not they really are
the craters Of extinct volcanoes. 90 has
been supposed for 30 long. One Of them
asks:
How would the ocean bottoms Of
the earth appear to man In the moon
II all our seas were to disappear?"
Exactly as the moon craters look to
u.s." 10 the answer.
SO now some Of the astronomers are
interested in the attempt to prove that
the moons curious surface Is not at all
volcanic, and that the "craters' are
nothing more nor less than coral reefs
and the remains Of other coral-like
structures which have been left high
and dry by the evaporation of lunar
oceans.

PAUL JONES BODY AT ANNAPOLIS
Remains Of Famous Fighter Landed
at Naval Academy

Annapolis. Md. July 24.-The John
Paul Jones expedition. commanded by
Rear Admiral Sigsbee. completed its
mission with the landing OF the body
OF the distinguished dead today.
At s O'Clock this morning Rear Ad-
miral Sigsbee saluted Rear Admiral
Sands with l3 guns and the salute was
returned from the shore batteries. A
salute 10 the squadron from the French
cruiser was then given and returned.
With these formalities over. the active
transfer OF the body was begun. The
personnel or the feet put ashore IN
small boats and formed an imposing
guard OF honor for the body. Its trans
fer 10 the shore was made on the naval
tug Standish. and the landing made on
a float draped aud moored to the wharf.
II was then placed in a hearse ana
transferred to the vault in the academy
grounds. The only ceremony was the
reading OF psalms by Chaplain H. II.
Clark OF the academy. The ceremonies
were simple. the "pomp and circum-
stance" being reserved for the time OF
the removal OF the body from the tenn
porary vault TO its permanent resting
place. the crypt Of the splendid new
naval academy chapel. This will likely
be a year hence.
