A French newspaper discovered, or
pretends to have discovered, fortified
fiat in Paris. A sixth floor apartment
was rented three years ago, with a
permission in the lease to the tenant to
make any alterations desired. Since
then the house has changed slightly
from day to day. Smiths came and
put up steel shutters before the win
dows. They were shutters very much
like those one sees in front of shops on
the boulevards, but thicker and of
steel. Then steel platform was
erected on the roof and fitted with a
searchlight. The staircase between the
fourth and fifth floors was narrowed,
and steel door was substituted for
the wooden one at the head of it. An
other steel door protected the staircase
leading to the roof, and all the other
doors in the fiat were exchanged for
solid oak. Cupboards were made in
the walls and were fitted with false
bottoms. In one was an iron bedstead,
which could be made to disappear into
the wall with one movement. The
whole Hat was fitted with electric
wires. The Paris paper says the occu
pant is a royalist who was once tried
for plotting against the republic.

Wellington and Rton.

Another famous saying is now dis
puted. DR.. Miller Mcguire contends
that the Duke of Wellington never
said, Waterloo was won on the play
ing fields of Elton" Wellington himself
knew very little of the playing fields
at Elton. 1t is quite true that he was
for a brief period at the famous school.
but when his mother discovered that
he was making no progress whatever
there, either at games or at lessons, he
was removed at about the age of if
teen and sent to another school in
Brussels, where he learned most Of
what he knew. At least score of the
leading officers OF the British army
who were the dukes contemporaries
knew even less about Elton than he did.

Meteorologists are interested in Sc
curing observations at high attitudes
by means of kites, and lately at the
aeronautical observatory at Linden
burg, Prussia, record for height was
made, kite being sent up to an alti-
tude of 21,00O feet. This was accom-
plshed by sending up six kites at
tached to each other by the use of
length of wire line approximating AS
600 feet in length. The instruments
carried by the kite recorded a mini
mum temperature of ID degrees f. as
compared with Al degrees F. at the
earth's surface. At the maximum alti-
tude the wind blew at a rate of fifty
six miles an hour as compared with
eighteen miles an hour at the surface.
The maximum altitude exceeds by
nearly LOO feet the previous record
made In the Baltic sea by flying a kite
from a Danish gunboat.

A Surprising Discovery.

How good a thing it is, in schoolboy
phrase, ito have the cheek taken out Of
one" This has just been my lot, in an
unusual way. There is very strange
and melancholy event in the history Of
Scotland. BY an accident l was led
last week to look into it closely by the
process of grubbing in manuscript
royal account books and other records.
Having found out what actually did
happen, wrote a paper about it all,
giving first the statements of several
old and modern historians, whowere all
in the wrong. When had finished my
essay it occurred to me to look at what
| myself had written on the matter in
my History" Mine was the most err
roneous version of the lot! - Andrew

welbeck Abbey. Unique Entrance.

Welbeck. the Duke of Portland's
residence, has the most unique entrance
of any house in the world, for it is moth
ing more or less than a subterranean
passage. On passing through the gates
the visitor is conducted into yawning
tunnel, through which the daylight
filters by means of great bulbs of glass
let into the roof This tunnel is wide
enough for two carriages to pass
abreast. As is well known, the late
duke scrupulously stunned his fellow
creatures, and he built this grim under
ground gallery in order that he might
go backward and forward without be-
ing seen. The whole of the estate is
undermined with these tunnels, which
branch off in every direction from the
abbey, and each has its own secret
means of entrance and exit, while ff-
teen of them have their termini in
lodges whose rooms are also built I'M
derground and which can only be open
ed with the dukes master key.

CONVENTION MEETS IN new ORLEANS

New Orleans, Jan. 12-With a large
and representative attendance from
the cotton growing states the Southern
Cotton Growers association opened a
three days session here during the
day. The question of holding this
years crop until cotton goes to Is
cents is to be taken up. Congress will
be urged to provide for commission
to visit the cotton markets of the
world, including China and the Orient
to find new fields for the surplus
product.
President Jordan of the association
SAID that at the prevailing prices of
the manufactured products this season
spinners with profit could easily have
paid Il cents for the entire cotton
crop. He said: q
If we demand and receive Is cents
for the balance of the unsold portion
OF the crop we will still be unable to
average the whole crop at u cents a
pound, due to the unwarranted low
prices at which more than one-half of
the crop has been sold. The proposi-
t1on to hold the balance of the crop ut
maximum figure of 15 cents. there
fore, is based upon conservative rea-
sonlng and is justified by all oondi-
tlons surrounding the legitimate laws
OF demand and supply"

BELIEVED TO BE MADAME DeVERE

Columbus, O., Jan. 12:- Mrs. Cas-

at the state prison here today and be-
gan to serve her sentence of ten years.
The prison officials are firm in their
belief that the woman is Madame De
We're who served sentence there some
years ago for crooked dealing while
passing as a clairvoyant. They are
also very skeptical about Mrs. Chad
wick's illness which they believe to be
feigned. She will be put through a
rigid examination and if their belief
is found to be correct. she will be pat
to washing or other hard labor.
Mrs. Chadwick will be remembered
as the woman who succeeded in bor-
rowing nearly a million dollars from
various people on her nerve, giving
bogus notes and stocks as security.
She was the direct cause of several
bank failures, a suicide, and numer-
Gus premature deaths brought about
by worrying because of business deal
ings with her.
