case that has been investigated by the
commission was that of Rufus X.
Combs Of Midway. KY. who was
granted silver medal and 81 500 In

Combs saved ihe life of his bitter en-.
envy and political rival, Richard God
son, lawyer and inventor.
Godson had entered a vault to test
a gas making apparatus and was over
come by the fumes
Friends and relatives were afraid to
enter the vault When he declared
his intention of going in Combs was
pulled back and told that Godson was
dead, and that he would surely lose
his own life If he attempted to recover
the body.
There may be some life in him, "
declared Combs as he pulled away and
entered the vault lie carried his en-
envy to the door of the vault and then

Automobile In the Bible.

Someone has found hint, as some
one always does when there is new
invention or discovery, of the automo.
bile in the Bible. 1t is in the vision of
NAHUM, the Eikoshite, concerning the
burden Of Nineveh In the account
given by this seer of the military mus
ter and array of the Modes and Bah
ylonians against the doomed city OF
Nineveh, the mistress of witchcrafts,
when the people In the midst of her
were women" the Elkoshite has this
remarkable verse: The chariots shall
rage In the streets, they shall jostle
one against another in the broad ways,
they shall run like lightnings." A vari.
ant of the word 'jostle," which the
original Hebrew will, It is said, equally
well or better bear, is pass swiftly,
without particular purpose to and
fro rendering which brings the cars
of the Hebrew prophet into, perhaps,
still closer connection with the motor
cars of the present day.

A Submarine Kite.

A strange kite, devised by a Swed
ish engineer, is made to fly under wa
ter.
II is constructed of light canvas
spread upon a strong but light metal
frame, and Is made in two sections.
The lower and smaller section de-
ponds from the upper and is connect
ed with It by a kind of coupling.
The mission of the apparatus is to
warn vessels of shoals or places
where there is an insufficient depth OF
water A small wire cable runs from
the kite to the vessels deck.
AS the ship sails along the kite
trails beneath or beside the craft at
such depth as will insure safety.
If at any time the bottom of the
kite touches ground "A device relieves
the coupling connecting It with the
upper part and the alarm bell is
sounded on deck
The kite may then be drawn up, re.
adjusted and thrown overheard again,
to resume its silent but useful vigils.

BUILD NESTS OF CEMENT.
Many Birds Use This or Somewhat
Similar Substance.

1t is only within recent years that
men have learned how to make houses
and other structures Of cement. This
art is probably yet in crude stage,
and by and by mankind may learn to
use the material in vastly more skill
full and efficient ways. But many OF
the lower animals have for ages been
making their houses of mud or similar
plastic and hardening substances. The
cliff swallows skillfully built house Is,
indeed, a wonderful structure, espe'
cially when we take into considera.
ton the simple way in which the bird
does the work. Imagine boy or
girl trying to make such a structure OF
mud and handling the material only
by the aid of pointed pliers. Yet the
bird does it, and does it well with her
pointed bill. In some cement struc.
lures, especially in railroad embank.
ments, you have probably noticed that
the workmen first put in several iron
rods to increase the strength q the
wall. This is, practically, what the
phoebe, the robin and other birds do
when they mix liberal supply OF
grasses and other plant fibers, and
even strings, through their concretions
