QUEER PLACE FOR LIGHTSHIP
Government Has Ordered It Moored In a Peach Orchard 40 Miles
 Inland.

A lightship i'll the heart of Delaware and in peach orchard at that? Sounds strange, but according to No! tice to MariG.Ts No. 27" that is pre- cfsely what the lighthouse board con- templates.
 Fenwick Island Shoal lightship, off the Delaware coast, Is to be moved, and according to this official bulletin 1t Is to be placed in latitude north 3S degrees 27 minutes 25 seconds, longi- tude west 75 degrees 46 minutes 40 seconds.
 Mariners upon receiving copies of the notice sent out by the lighthouse board concerning the change prompt ly began to plot 1t out on their charts. When they found that the ship would be located 40 miles inland from the coast they rubbed their eyes and be- gan to calculate over again, but each time the lightship brought up in a Delaware peach orchard

HAD SYSTEM OF ELEVATORS
Scientist Has Found Proof That Romans Knew of Labor Saw
 ing Device.

Prof. Boni Is reported to have made an important discovery in the course of his excavations in the Forum, at Rome. While exploring some under ground passages near the north ros- tra Of Caesar he found in 12 small rooms or galleries traces of a former system of elevators.
 In each room there are unmistak- able traces of grooves through which ropes passed and stone supports for wooden poles that were fixed verti- cally Inside the passages. The profes- sor Is convinced that platforms in- stalled in these rooms served to raise to the surface the gladiators and wild beasts that participated in the circus games and that hence they were nothing else but elevators or lifts.
 Thus what until recently was consid- cred a modern invention was used by the Romans under the republic. There are no traces of similar elevators in buildings belonging to the imperial De- riod and in all likelihood no attempt was made to improve the movable platforms In later times.

BLACK ART
 ONPOTATOES

Del Adelphia, now business man md member of the town council of rukwila, lays claim to having been he first person to carry the black trt'' across the Arctic circle.
 Adelphia since early manhood, and until only recently, has followed the vocation of magician. and his wander ings as such with various theatrical and vaudeville companies have taken aim over the United States several times and into many foreign coun- tries. In 1901 he and his own com pany toured Alaska and northern British Columbia, giving performances 1t every station
 Il shall never forget" said Adelphia in describing his northern trip to a group of friends recently, the time performed before Chief Isaacs and bunch of his subjects at Moosehide, typical northern Indian village a few days before Christmas, 1901. I had given performance the day be- fore at Dawson, and an acquaintance had made there suggested that we could have some rare sport by invad- the Moosehide with magic.
 Accordingly, accompanied by my next day in a sled. The wonderment of the Siwashes was first excited when two mysteriouslooking trunks were unloaded from the sled in front of the chiefs hut. few words to the chief by my friend put us in good with him and he invited us inside with our trunks summoned the say ages from the outside and introduced me in his crude way as the white medicine man.
 'I had things all my own way, and during the performance 1 was able to resurrect old tricks that had had to drop from my repertoire years ago be- cause they had become so common that white audience would laugh me down should l have the nerve to exhibit them in this day and age.
 T started of with the old thread. bare stunts. such as palming cards, turning water into wine, etc, and 1t was not many minutes until l was looked upon by my ignorant audience as a veritable devil
 What did those poor children of nature know about the double com partment pistol, the mysterious egg basket, the loaded hat or the traps in the tables! A chair to them was a chair, nothing more. The old chief was nonplussed when, after had the egg bag for minute, he asked to be allowed to feel inside 1t. and he found it was empty. Again he felt and 1t was full of eggs, eggs were everywhere-on the floor, under tho table, in the folds of his garments. and he was given great laugh when even plucked couple from his

 The abject simplicity of the na- tives was forcibly shown when grabbed one of the youngsters by the nose and told him to blow through that organ. He did, and I told him sharply to blow hard This he did as l commanded. and 1 thought he and all the rest would drop dead when whole pack of playing cards shot out apparently from his nostrils and flut- tered to the ground. This trick was repeated by request upon another young native and another deck of cards was blown from a Siwash nasal appendage and scrambled for by the youngsters. looked out of the door of the hut few minutes later to see three or four of the little fellows out side holding each others noses and blowing for dear life in an effort to produce more pasteboards.
 My potato trick, though, brought the show to a speedy climax. If I hadn't stopped when I did I'd have been bankrupt. l asked old Isaacs if he had potato. The chief ordered his squaw to bring one, which she did. l then called for a knife, and with the knife ] started to cut the potato in halves. The savages crowd ed round me to watch developments and were amazed when the knife struck something hard in the center of the tuber. I could cut no further, but finally worked around the obstruc- tion. and, when the potato was di- vided. there was bright new half dollar. l tossed the coin outside and you should have seen the scramble for it.
 T didn't have to ask for a second potato; the trick was repeated and an other half dollar given the Indians as a souvenir. A third time I was pre- vailed upon by wondering hosts to open potato. but by this time every buck, klootchman and papoose in the crowd was armed with a potato and clamoring to have 1t opened. I saw my finish looming up and not very far ahead. l saw the seasons profits dwindling and it did not require al great stretch of imagination to pic. ture certain long-haired wizard stranded in the far and frozen north land, mushing his way out to civiliza. tion with gaunt famine dogging his tracks.

from William F. Herrin. Henry E. Hunt

LAST VISIT TO CITY
March % of this year Hartman made
his last flying visit to this city. run
ming up from Burlingame after a some
what lengthy stay in the south. Harri-
man did not seem at all well on that
occasion and walked slowly. as though
with an effort. AS he was only in this
city for a short time. making his head
quarters first at Pasadena and later n
Burlfngame, what he had to say to the
public was said at those places.
1t was to Call representative who
interviewed him at Pasadena that Har-
rlman stated for the first time that he
intended to retire from active railroad
work by order of his physicians. At
Burlingame took place the now famous
conference between. Hartman and the
Hill forces, the result of which was a
working agreement and the burial of
the hatchet after many years.

was critical and disagreeabIe.

declaring that there should be a limit
