A DANGEROUS LIQUID.
Hydrohuoric Acid Is Most Safely
Kept In Golden Bottles.


Kept In Golden Bottles.
A gold bottle stood on the chemists
table. In that bottle" he said, my
hydrofluro!c acid is kept. Hydrofuoric
acid is used in glass etching. The
etching on glass thermometers is all
done with 1t. 1t is colorless. 1t looks
like water, but a drop Of it on your
hand would bore clean through to the
other side like bullet. It's inhalation
is sure death.
"Hydrofuoric acid can be kept safe
~ in gold bottles alone. Sometimes
bottles of india rubber, of lead or of
platinum are used. None of these,
though, is as safe as gold.
Even when this acid is in a gold
bottle precautions must be taken with
it. 1t is volatile, and hence a paraffiA
covered plate must be clamped tight
over the bottles mouth; also the item
perature OF the room must not rise over
60 degrees or the gold bottle will burst.
This acid, whose sole use Is in glass
etching. is probably the most danger

Affairs Of the Sporting World

The sun of the Canadian Indian,
Longboat, has sunk to rest, but the
sun of John F. Hayes, American, has
risen and sheds it's glory over Ameri-
can athletics. Yesterday Hayes won
the great Marathon race in the Olym-
pic games. finishing fresh as daisy,
while Dorando, the Italian, who led
Hayes into the Stadium by one minute
collapsed three hundred yards from
the finish. Sympathetic officials help
ed the Italian over the tape. but he
was disqualified and the event went
to the Yankee. 1t was a clear cut
victory. Had no assistance been rem
dered him Dorando would have re-
manned PROSTATE on the track until
Hayes had passed him and finished.
OF the ten who secured places four
were Americans. Forshay third, Wei
ton fourth, and Tewanine, the Car
Isle Indian, ninth. This was not all
the American triumpns yesterday.
Only Americans will compete in the
final of the 40 meter race today be

Charles F. S. Neal, of Lebanon,

Secretary Kelley says that the dem

the headquarters and told him that
Conn is not a candidate for governor,

ACROSTlCS AND ANAGRAMS.
They Have Been known since tho
DAYS of the PsRlmist.

We find that the acrostic is the most
ancient form of puZzling mankind.
Acrostic is Greek for a number OF
verses the first letters of which form
a word, sometimes a name and some
times sentence. The final letter may
form a word. or as Addison tells us.
the letters will even run down the CEN
ter of the verses as seam. The He
brew poets often made their verses run
over the entire alphabet. Twelve OF the
psalms are written on this plan, the
most notable being the One Hundred
and Nineteenth. This has twenty two di-
visions, or stanZas, corresponding to the
twenty-five letters of the Hebrew al
phabet. Each stanZa is formed of eight
couplets, and the first line Of each coup
let in the first stanza in the original
Hebrew begins with the letter aleph,
the second commences with beth. the
third with gimel. and so on through the
alphabet. The English divisions of the
psalms are called after the Hebrew let
ter that began the couplets. 1t was
also customary to compose verses on
sacred subjects after the fashion of He
brew acrostics. This was done with a
view to aid memory. and such pieces
were called abcedarian hymns.
The riddle is also of ancient origin.
The Proverbs of the Bible, or sayings
attributed to Solomon, are often in the
form of riddles. Was it not the queen
of Sheba who proposed riddles to Solo,
mon? The Koran, the scriptural book
of the Mohammedans, also contains rid
dies, as do some books now in exist
ence, written in Arabic and Persian.
The ancient Egyptians also PROFOUND
ed riddles, and one of the seven wise
men of Greece, who lived in the sixth
century B. c., was celebrated for bis
riddles in verse. Homer, the Greek
poet, according to a statement in Plu-
tarch, died of vexation at not being
able to solve riddle. In the middle
ages riddles were encouraged for
amusement on winter nights In the
baronial hall and also in the monastery.
In later days some Of the most brilliant
men of letters contributed to the list Of
riddles
The anagram, or transposition Of the
letters In words or sentences, was
much in vogue in Greece in the olden
times. The Cabalists, or Jewish doc
tors, thought that the anagram always
pointed out a mans destiny, and IL his
name written backward or transposed
in any way spelled word with mean

Where the Lady Was Going.

told the following:

of our road are greatly troubled by
patrons who. when wishing to pur-
chase tickets, lay down a coin and
neither tell where they are going nor

SERIES OF SHIPWRECkS.
The Most Singular Chain of Marine
Accidents on Record.

The most singular series of ship
wrecks on record began with the loss
uf the English merchantmen Mermaid,
which was driven on the rocks of Tor
res strait in October. 1929. The officers
and crew chung to the shattered vessel,
which was held fast upon a sunken
ledge, until, a few minutes before the
doomed ship went to pieces, a passing
frigate picked them up.
The Swiftsure, as the latter craft
was called, resumed her northward
course, to be foundered in a terrific
gale three days later.
Her combined crews were saved by
the warship Governor Ready, en- voy-
age to India, May Is, 1880. The last
| named, overtaken by a storm, was
stranded on a barren coast, her three
crews to a man succeeding in reach
ing the shore.
After staying a week on the inhos-
pitabIe island they were taken off by
the revenue cutter Comet, which a few
| days later sprang leak and sank In
spite of all efforts to save her.
Fortunately a rescue ship was again
on hand, the four crews being saved
| by the Jupiter.
Even then however, the chain of dis
| asters was not>broken, for the Jupiter
| just as she was entering the harbor OF
Port Rattle turned turtle and went
down with scarcely a moments warn
| ing. Her crews barely escaped with
their lives, to be picked up by boat
sent to their aid.
Thus the crew of the Mermaid was
wrecked five times in one voyage, thai
of the Swiftsure four times, of the
Governor Ready three times and the
| Comet twice.
The rescues had been purely acciden
| tai in every case. none of the ships
having been sailing as a consort OIL
| even to the same port.
Though the weather had been tenn
pestuous and the escapes barely made
not life had been lost.

This was cutting the ground from
under the Sultan feet and the last
straw was broken when the Sultan
learned that the wild people of the
Albanian country would support him
no longer, but had joined the liberal
movement and were calling loudly for
constitutional reforms. Then sudden
ly the Sultan decided to bow TO the
inevitable rather than face the alter
native, revolutionary outbreak
throughout Macedonia.
Up to the present day Turkey has
been a theocratic absolute monarchy,
subject to the direct personal control
of the Sultan who has been at once
temporal autocrat and recognized
Khalif, or successor of the prophet,
and consequently spiritual head of the
Moslem world. This theocratic abso-
lutism has been tempered not only
by traditional usage. local privileges

growing force of public opinion and
the direct and indirect pressure of the
