WILL GIVE TURKEY BATTLESHIP
Movement Has Been Begun by Syr-
ians in United States.

Leading members of the Syrian
colony in New York city have started
movement to present Turkey with
a modern battleship. The money to
build the vessel is to be raised among
all the Syrians in the new world,
their number being estimated at up
ward of 100000, and the gift not
only is to commemorate the granting
of a constitution to the people of
Turkey, but also to express the con-
fidence felt by the Syrians and young
Turks in this hemisphere in the gen
uineness OF the reforms.
The plan was preached at din
ner of Syrian merchants, and Salim
Elias, with whom it originated, en-
phasized his advocacy of it by head
ing the subscription list with con-
tributiOn of $1,000.
Committees now will be appointed
and appeals sent out to the Syrians
of North, South and Central America,
the West Indies and Mexico. 1t is
planned that the warship shall be
built in the United States and named
the Syria.

STOLE LEPER WIFE AWAY
AN AGED COUPLE HAVE FLED
TO MEXICO FOR REFUGE.
General WardweIl, Retired Veteran,
Secretly Took His Afflicted Wife
From Hospital at Night.


A Los Angeles, Cal, dispatch SAYS:
knowing that his wife was suffering
from leprosy Brig. General David X.
Wardwell (retired), a veteran of two
wars, secretly and in the night took
his wife from the contagion ward
in the county hospital. The couple
went to Mexico, where they will
make their home
Effort is being made by the au-
thorities to find them, but only to
account to the government for the
case of leprosy. Both, according to
officials of the county hospital,
threatened to commit suicide if they
were not allowed to spend the re-
mainder of their years in each 9TH
ers company, even if it were in iso-
latiOn.
Mrs. WardweH, at one time a
beautiful woman, was removed from
the contagious ward in the county
hospital three nights ago. The next
morning an opened window and a
note upon the window sill told the
story of her flight. 1--WE will not
! be molested in Mexico" the note
said. 1T was there where we were
! married, and we will be allowed to
! die there together"
Investigation showed that the
couple got aboard a late night train
/ for Mexico. Down at SaWteIle, in
the neighbOrhood of the Soldiers
Home, the story of the couple is well
known. The tender devotion of the
aged veteran to his wife when she
showed signs of the dread disease
endeared the man to those in the
! neighbOrhood. Four weeks ago,
however, Mrs. Waddell resolved to
give herself into the custody of the
health officers. She came to Los
Angeles. The great mental strain
she underwent caused her to faint
when within a block of the police
station.
With tears in his eyes the aged
general pleaded with the health Off
GERS to be allowed the privilege of
taking his wife to Mexico, the coun-
try where she was born, but they
were Obdurate. Wardwell declared
that he was suffering from leprosy,
but an examination showed that he
was not
Mrs. Wardwell was a Miss Isa-
bella Cole. For two years she nursed
brother afflicted with leprOsy in
futile attempt to save his life. The
( general married her with the knOW1-
edge of that fact, and a short time
later they came to California. Here
they spent the last eight years, and
it was here the first symptoms of the
| disease were noted.

FLYING FISH.
Queer Denizens of the Sea That Do
Marvellous Stunts.

MdENClOuS STUNTS
Interesting are the habits of the
flying fish, that queer denizen of the
sea, found principally in the region
of the trade winds, says st. Nicholas
for August. Does it rise from the
sea like a bird? you ask. No; it
shoots out of the water like an ar
row, and with outspreading wings
sails on the wind in graceful curves,
rising sometimes, one might say, to
the height of fifteen feet, but not
often so high, and then lowering, it
again touches the crest of wave
and renews it's flight. This opera
ton may be repeated till it covers
a distance, say, of 500 yards, in the
case, of the stoutest on the wing,
though very often not half that dis
lance is covered. A ship sailing
through the trade winds will often
be visited on dark nights by flying
fish which hit the sails or rigging
and fall on deck, where, of course,
they soon give up life.

1t is heaping full of lava, so that a
rounded ridge rises 1000 feet above
the level of the former valley floor
The interest in the whole proceedings
of the volcano has been intensified
by peculiarities of it's own, for it
has shown some originality.
Rained Fire for Miles.
In the early stage of the eruption
liquid lava shot out of the crater to
an enormous height, and owing to it's
intense heat it did not cool in the
upper air and sOlidify into bombs. as
elected lava often does, but seemed
to form great round masses, many
HUNDREDS of pounds in weight. These
fell in splashes on the rocks for half
a mile around. Of course every tree
within range of this rain of fire was
burned to ashes.
In a few weeks the volcano was
1000 feet high and the great press
ure of the deep lava lake in the era
ter forced two openings in the wall,
through which the lava began to
pour down the mountain and start
on its journey to the sea The dis
lance to the northeast coast was
about eight miles, but the winding
flow of lava streams made their
journey about ten miles. The sur
face lava cooled and hardened very
quickly, 50 that two days after the
crust began to form venturesome
men walked on it. The molten lava
under the crust kept moving along,
and through these tunnels the lava
from all the eruptions up to the
present year has flowed into the sea.
This is unusual, for the later lavas
generally cover the preceding flows.
At present, however, the volume is
so enormous that the tunnels will
not carry it off and the mass has
spread over the earlier crust and far
beyond.

AVERAGE LENGTH OF LIFE.
Some Vital Statistics That Are of
Interest.

Interest.
From Cassell's Saturday Journal.
The man who lives until he is
more than a century old and the
child who dies in infancy are alike
included in the law of averages.
They balance each others chances,
as it were.
Of 100000 people living at the
age of ten only 1854 will live to
the age of twenty-one, only 82,284
will be living at forty, only 40 will
be living at ninety-siX, and only 9
at ninety-seven. At thirty the aver
age man may take it that he has
under thirty-fve years to live; at
forty under twenty-eight years; at
fifty under twenty-one years; at sixty
under fourteen years.
In each and all of these cases
how he lives will determine whether
he will have a longer life or a short
er life, but the average will unfalli-
bly, work out within a space of ninety
years.
