EIGHTEEN ARE INJURED,

Touion, Aug. 13.-Six persons were

while number of recruits were re-
ceiving instructions in handling a
164-millimeter gun. The breech blew
out. Three of those wounded are in
a desperate condition.
According to experts in gunnery, the
accident was due to the decomposi-

was attributed, and in which more
than 100 lives were lost.
This is the third fatal accident to
occur on board the schoolship Cour-

all of whoch were due to the blowing
off of breech locks. In the first, April

AMOUNTING STONES.
Custom That Was Very Common
Among the Ancients.

A Custom That Was Very Common
Among the Ancients.
The custom of amounting stones with
oil Genesis xviii, Is, 19D and leaving
them as memorial pillars or objects of
worship was one that was very COM
mon among the ancients. The stones
first worshiped were probably of mete-
oric origin. which. having been seen to
fall from heaven, were easily associat-
ed with some deity. In Roman mythol-
ogy Abadires was the name given to a
stone which was worshiped because it
was the general belief that 1t had once
been swallowed by Saturn.
The standing images" referred to as
being prohibited in Leviticus (xxvi, y
are thought to have been these same

modern investigation has thrown upon
the curious customs Of the early east
the act of Jacob, which is recorded at
the first Scriptural reference mention
ed in this mote" is Of special interest
as showing the mood of his mind and
heart after a nights entertainment of
such gracious and blessed vision. To
this day the Amounted stones" of the
orient are called bactylia, which b.
chart suggests may be derived from
Bethel where Jacob first anointed a
pillar as a sacred memorial.

When Magistrate Higginbotham left
