GUIDE BRINGS NEWS.

Huntsville Ont, Oct. 24.-Rich-
ard Cole, "a guide, who has just
returned from New Ontario, brings
story of one of the missing bal
looms which he and his party
sighted about s o'clock last Thurs
day morning. The party was
crossing a small lake when the
balloon passed. After travelling
probably mile it alighted rapidly
with tremendous crash. A search
was made, but the party were
forced to return without effecting
a rescue.
Cole thinks If the aeronauts
travelled eastward they must be
lost in the impenetrable forests
without hope OF rescue.

ELECTRICITY IN BIBLE M
speculations Which Explain Miracles
by S%upposing Its Use to Have
Been Known.

An electrical engineer of Munich
named Stadenmann makes an in
genious argument to prove that the
Jews in the time of Moses had an
advanced knowledge of electricity,
using passages from the Bible to en-.
force his claim.
His theory of the famed serpent of
bronze is that It was a lightning con-
ductor and he also says that the tenn
pie at Jerusalem was protected by
metal points connected with the
ground.
The most ingenious speculation is in
regard to the ark Of the covenant;
which was made Of walls of wood Gov;
cred on both sides with metal. If this
were connected with the metal teeth
on the temple roof it would form a
sort of Leyden jar charged with the.
electricity of the atmosphere and
would give a shock to any one touch.

Mr.. S~tadc1Ua-n presumes that
Noses gained his knowledge Of elec-
tricity from the Egyptians. This an
cient race certainly had a knowledge
Of many branches of science that it
took the rest of tie world thousands
OF years to learn. But the only proof
that they were electrical engineers is
one recently advanced by an archaeo-
lcg:st-that they must have had cleo
trio lights because their underground
temples show no traces of smoke.

PhuInnlnes, Best Fruit.

Philippine mangoes, to the mind of
many Americans and foreigners the
sweetest fruit grown anywhere, would
alone make many m%illionaires in this
country If the fruit could be success
fully shipped, or, better still, grown
here, as the Hawaiian papaya is now
being made to grow in the Philippines.
Spaniards spent thousands of dollars
trying to get samples of the Philippine
mango to their late queen. but with
out avail. There is absolutely moth
ing to equal this fruit in the western
hemisphere. Mangoes in New York
would easily retail at from 81 to $1.25
a dozen, with the demand never fully
supplied. One tree of enormous size
is said to have produced 5000 man
goes in one season. The fruit in shape
and general appearance resembles a
huge pear fattened to a thickness Of
about IN inches. The skin is green
and the meat pumpkin colored. The.
flavor can be compared to no fruit in
this country; to appreciate its deli
ciousness one must eat a mango OF
the ice.-The Bookkeeper.

MASON AND DIxoN's LINE
Geographical Division That Has Fig
ured Prominently In the His
tory Of the Country.

The historic Mason and Dixon's
Line is a name that was given to the
southern boundary of Pennsylvania
about $50 years ago. It comedies
with 80 degrees 43 minutes and 1858
seconds north latitude.
Except for a distance of % miles
the line was marked out by Charles
Mason and jeremiah Dixon, English
engineers. They surveyed 1t for a dis
lance of 258 miles west from the Della
ware river, between November Is,
1853. and December &c, 1857. Each.
fve-mile stone bears the coat of arms
of Maryland cut on one side and that
of Pennsylvania on the opposite. The
intervening m%ilestones have the let
tiers "P" cut on one side and IN" on
the opposite
During the progress of the violent
debate in congress in 1920, which re-
suited In the historic measure known
as the Missouri Compromise, on the
question of excluding slavery from
Missouri, John Randolph made use of
the phrase mason and Dixon's Line"
as the dividing line between slave and
free states, Maryland being a slave
holding state and Pennsylvania a free
state. At that time the crossing of
this line meant freedom to the fugi-
tive slave.
The application as made by Ran.
eo;ph drew attention to Mason and
DiXon's Line all over the country as
indicative of a bar to freedom.
