She corked the bottle tightly and threw 1t

The incident had been forgotten till day

States Army, stationed at that point, six
teen miles from Savannah, had found the
bottle on the beach, where il had stranded
and that his letter was IN response to the
request of the writer, her note being in

The time between throwing the bottle
into the river at New Palestine and the

At first they look like mighty bluff

amphitheater, and closer still the walls

The outlines of the arena are plainly
marked They inclose an elipse of almost
an acre. and. according to my PAGES they
actually measure about 800 feet long and
115 feet wide.
The walls of this mighty structure the
most of which still stand. are 100 feet high.

not detract from Luzerne's position as the

The inventor claims 1t can be done by
the use of this self-oiler. which consists of
an oil cup clamping on the blade. This cup
has a bifurcated discharge nozzle, the oil
discharging through the bifurcations onto
the saw. The carpenter is thus able to
continue saving without being compelled
to stop every few minutes to remove the
saw from the wood and apply the oil.
