Henry Hudson, an Englishman, in
the service of the Dutch East India
Company, is credited with discovering
the Delaware River, which he called
the South River. In the year 1910 a
ship, which carried the Lord Thomas
de la War on his voyage to Virginia,
entered the river and the English
claimed the territory and river, and
gave It the name of Delaware. Cap
tain Mey found two prominent capes
at the mouth of the South Bay, which
he named after himself. One bears
his name to this day, and the other
now known as Cape lHenlopen, was
named Cape Cornelius. Captain Hen
erickson is said to be the first man
who navigated the river as far as
Philadelphia. The Schuylkill was
named by the Dutch. Schuylkill is .
Dutch name, meaning. Hidden River

JAPANESE TREASURE STORY.
Forefather's Buried Coins that Proved
a Dlsappointment.


A highly respected man of old fam
lily had a chamber Of secrecy" In his
house which the sanitary authorities
one day insisted on entering. Beneath
the floor the servants found a large
antiquated earthern pot, which was at
once taken to the master, Kitayama,
who opened it in expectation OF find
ing something. and true to his antici-
pations the pot was filled with ancient
gold coins.
His Joy was unbounded. The val
liable and, evidently an intended gift
of his forefatherss, was carefully de-
posted in the family shrine. to which
sake and other offerings were made
in profound obeisance to the memory
of the good ancestors who left such a
splendid gift to posterity. A banquet
was given on the following evening
in honor of the suspicious event, to
which several friends and neighbors
were invited.
Here a curio dealer proceeded to in
spect the coins to the breathless in
terest of the whole group, and the
critic at once pronounced them all lead
washed with gold.-Japan Times.

BIRDS GIVE NO QUARTER IN WAR.
Nine Thrushes and Eight Robins
Fight Until Exteruninated.

Nsne thrusnee ana Et9ht hoo'"s
Fight Until Exterminated.
Pecking out each others eyes and
driving their beaks into each others
breasts, nine thrushes and eight robins
In East Alton fought to the death In
tree, writes the st. bosis correspond
emit Of the New York Press. Never In
the annals Of man, beast or bird per-
haps, had there been q conflict more
sanguinary than the one for the pos
session Of that tree, In which both the
thrushes and the robins had nests.
One by one the birds fell to the
ground below. until not bird was left
alive. Among those who witnessed the
battle In which no quarter was asked
and none was given were Charles Fer
guson, postmaster of East Alton, and
Edward Balster, the owner OF the land
on which the tree stood. They said
that II eagles had been warning they
could not have fought more fiercely and
fearlessly or met death more heroically
than did the thrushes and robins.
1t was the elimination OF quarref
which began when the old robin and
thrushes nested In the same tree last
spring, and which was aggravated
when the robins stole worms and 9TH
or tdbits from the young thrusnes and
when the thrushes stole food from the
young robins.
This larceny from the birdlings new
er was forgiven or forgotten and 1t re-
suited In frequent nights among the old
birds. They reserved the battle royal,
however, until the young birds should
grow up to assist in exacting the ex-
trsme penalty for these repeated lar
cenies That time arrived today and
both sides lined up for the battle.
Two OF the nests were built in the
fork Of a tree, and they were so near
that they almost touched. 1t is said
that even the young robins and
thrushes had emulated the example OF
their parents and had stolen food from
each other. Be that as it may, there
was q grudge of long standing to be
settled, and there was not bird, old
or young, in the tree that was not will
ing to sacrifice its life in the feud.
The battle lasted longer than an
hour. There were charges and counter
charges, and every one found its vic.
tim. A rush of brown would be fol-
lowed by the fall of robin, and, after
a flash of red swept through the fol.
iage, a thrush would fall. One by one
the combatants dropped and died until
only one remained. II was a robin,
and the watchers hoped it would sur
vive.
Even when they were commenting
upon the fact it had fought and lived
the survivor gave triumphant whistle
and pitched headlong to the ground
dead from a wound in the breast in
flicted by the sharp bill Of the last
thrush.
