Washington Hears lit and Warns Its
Rio Representative.

Meantime the official to whom the
young man had confided the secret
made inquiries as to the shipment o.
explosives to Brazil. This inquiry APP
peared to give some color to the stO y,
for it showed that a small steamer
discussed by the suspects had actually
sailed from a north German port with
certain boxes which were at least open
to suspicion. 1t is alleged that the
testimony of the men who loaded tn
boxes was secured, and that it shows
they contained explosives The dest ma
ton of the steamer was Rio, where her
arrival early in December also was es-
tablshod
This appeared to fit in with the dis
closures at the cafe and with the ca
balistic writing, which is said to have
shown that the plotters designed to
plant submarine mines off ESclave isl
and, at the narroWest point in the
Straits of Magellan, using the island
as their base of operations. The eN-
istence of the island at this point IN
the straits. where the current runs al
most ten miles an hour, was duly veri-
fed. How the explosives were to reach
this island from Rio is not disclosed
There were many other details I'M
earthed in the course of the inquiry SET
on foot
The parties responsible for the story
did not neglect to make most of the
Japanese scare which has affected
Paris of late. 1t was said that the
mysterious strangers were Germans.
but vague references were made to
Japanese names which were said to be
figuring in the affair These fantastic
details were received with incredulity
in most quarters, but, as stated the
precautionary step was taken to ac>
quaint the authorities at Washington
and Rio of the general character of the
story.

Men, Women and Ad;ectivea.

Certain adjectives are reserved for
men and others for women. a man is
never called beautiful" Along with
pretty and ''lovely" that adjective
has become the property of women and
children alone. Handsome" and the
weak good looking" are the only two
adjectives of the kind common to Ell
ther sex Even belle" has no real
masculine correlative in English, since
'beau" came to signify something 9th
er than personal looks. 1t is singular
that Handsome" should have become
the word for a strikingly good looking
person, since it's literal meaning is
handy, dexterous. But pretty like
wise comes from the AngloSaxon word
meaning ''sly."

az IS East 102d street. I'm the uptown Jew

things as the Yorke-Tyndall aims to do,

plans drawn by the minister himself. the
materials that entered into IL were sucn
as every one else had found unavailable.
and practically all the skilled labor that
went into it--steanhtting, Joining, IHest
OF the carpentry and all eise-was done
by Mr.. Tyndall and his brother. The
building was made OF concrete. for which
the sand was obtained for nothing from

was obtained from the Mosaic Tile com
