Plank Blown Through Tree.

Atlanta Georgian.
Each day brings to light some
new freak of the tornado which
caused death and destruction in
this part of the State a few days
ago.
AS an evidence of the freak
ish force of the wind a big tree
and a large plank on the prop
erty of the Hon. S. M. Roberts,
about twelve miles from here,
are now joined as if done by ar
expert carpenter.
Although the tree was a large
one the plank was picked up anc
driven through the centre as
neatly as if shot from a gun
Not only was the plank shot
through the tree, but it wen
through without tearing the
tree.
The plank was picked up il
the yard of Mr.. Roberts saw
mill and other planks in the pill
were not molested by the wind
So singular does Mr.. Robert
consider this action of tn
tornado that he has posted ;
notice telling how the plank wa
driven through the big pine an
ordering that it shall not be Gu
down.

A good story Of hidden treasure
comes from India on the authority Of
the late tutor to the heir apparent of
Bhopal.
In the hills Of Amarkantak, IN the
central provinces, close to the sources
Of the Narbada and the Son. there
stands an old deserted fort called Ran
Bakalli, wherein. 20 tradition says. are
collected vast stores Of treasure and
jewels formerly the property of the
Hindu rajahs Of the country, but for
ages no one has been able to gain &C
cess to the fort because It p sur
rounded by miles of impossible mud.
The late Sir Richard Temple when
lieutenant governor Of Bengal tried to
reach 1t, but his elephant stuck deep
in the mire and he was forced to aban
don the quest. II 10 now suggested
that q syndicate should be formed to
exploit this treasure house by means
Of balloons, and Calcutta capitalist
has promised large subscription TO-
ward the enterprise.
people ia how this ocean Of mud ever
came to invest the fort An effort
will be made to enlist thc cooperation
Of the maharajah Of Rewa, the ruler
OF the district, who 10 said to be an en-
lightened prince. though how 1t comes
that he has not already taken steps
to solve the mystery is not stated.

living arresting speeding automobiles

little ingenuity" says one of the Of.
tenders. Chains across the road and
moving vans blocking the highway are
all right to accomplish the purpose,
but they're cumbersome. My idea for
causing a prompt slow-up is to scatter
q lot Of grain IN q road and turn lot
Of hens loose. They would block the
road all right and II there's one thing
that will make chauffeur slow up it's
q hen. Dogs are bad enough, but a
hen always runs the wrong way, and
IL the machine Is going at any speed
usually ends up under the wheels. Hit
ting hen will sometimes throw the
front wheels out of line and cause the
car to swerve, % drivers almost inva-
riably slow up and give poultry q
chance to get out Of the way. A hen

Of thinking, and, OF course, II one Of

The spectators at wrestling matches
In Japan pelt the winner with their

Of the skill of the winner. The hats
are gathered up by the attendants and
handed to the champion.
Eventually the owners come for.

question is, it is explained. due to a
recognition of the fact that enthusi

his admiration the Jap gives his hat as
