Almost 1000 miles OF the above
mileage was made in the Eastern

tires, yet we found nothing in
the way OF hills or heavy roads
In all this trip, which included
crossing the >Catskill Mountains

STEERING By A SIXTH SENSE

Literary Digest-Scientists in Den
mark are puzzled by a Norwegian
Emil Knudsen by name, who, although
blindfolded and carefully watched,
steered a steamer through the intri-
cate channels of the harbor of Copen-
hagen, keeping a true course and
adroitly lodging other vessels. He
explains this by claiming the posses
sion of a sixth sense
According to a Copenhagen DIS
patch, Knudsen is sc years old. he

went there a month ago from Chris
tiana and at once became an object OF
interest to scientists. He was put
through many experiments by PROBES
sor F'riedenreich, one of the leading
nerve specialists in Europe, and as a
result the professor suggested the
trip into the harbor.
Knudsen said he could guide him
self anywhere without using his
eyes, and a steamer was chartered TO
put him to a supreme test. Knudsen
had no knowledge of the harbor. He
requested that a person knowing the
channels should hold two finger tips
against the side of the head. Profess
sor Friedenreich consented to this,
and himself pressed two finger tips
against Knudsen's temples.
The man handled the wheel without

While he did so, Louis rose with the
coat, took the sketch from his pocket,
and, carrying it to an easel, took up
some crayons and colored it with a
quick, practiced hand, the hair, the
eyes and the cheek
The color gave expression and
character to the face, and the young
man, with a laugh of admiration, car
ried it to the table.
There, Stephen, is not that fine
boy?' he said, holding it up for him to
see.
Stephen Hargrave was on his way
to the fire with the small kettle in his
hand.
Before he set it on the hob he turned
his head in obedience to his masters
'There!" and looked at the picture.
Suddenly the kettle fell with a dull
crash to the ground, an exclamation
of anguish and establishment rang
through the room, and Louis, turning
his head, saw his man, Stephen Har-
grave, standing, with outstretched
hands and pale face, staring at the
picture as if it were ghost Or the
| face of one long since dead.
"Stephen!' he exclaimed, dropping
the sketch. What ails you, man? Are
| you ill?-are you"

The SIX etch.

Only a picture! only a touch!
Of dead fingers on live heart chords!
Only a remembrance of the past
which makes
The present uncomfortable.
Sir Richard was not an idle man,
even in his holiday moments. He had
set apart a room in the Box for his
study, library, counting house, or what
ever he liked to call it, and was at
work there, writing and calculating
With his usual smooth placidity, when
stephen Hargrave's signal gave him
notice of the mans proximity.
Sir Richard pushed his writing on
door, which served as a means Of
communication with the small garden
at the back
Are you there?" he asked.
Yes" said a mans voice.
And the next moment Stephen Har-
grave entered.
Sir Richard quietly closed the door,
and, pointing to a chair near the
fire, resumed his own seat and his
work as If such a being as Stephen
Hargrave never existed.
The man sat in grim silence, star
ing at the fire for a time with a
gloomy, absorbed air.
At last he raised his head, and
eyed the calm face of his master.
The glance was a curious one; it's
elements were made up of a rough
sort of gratitude, a grim, ignorant
kind of fear, and a slight suspicion of
dislike.
Sir Richard, raising his own eyes,
met the glance, and, seemingly re-
called to a sense of the mans pres
ence, said:
We'll, he has not returned?"
mo" replied stephen Hargrave,
mot yet. He comes by the last train"
Sir Richard consulted his watch
Then there is no great time to
waste. You are sure he has no sus-
picion. {"
I'm as sure as a man can be, mas
ter" was the grim reply.
None saw you enter the garden?"
Stephen Hargrave shook his head
NO one"
That's WELL" said Sir Richard,
with quiet approval. You cannot be
too cautious; remember. Should we
rouse his suspicious, we fail in the OBJ
ieCt I have in view Remember that
and when I send for you, take all pre-
cautions to reach me unobserved."
The man nodded.
"Has-has Miss Newton spoke with
him since the time you told me off,
No" said his spy. He went off by
the train this morning, as you know
They have not met since yesterday,
when"
Yes, yes; know. you told me-" in.
terrupted Sir Richard, with a frown.
Mind they do not meet without your
knowing it; you must watch them as
keenIy as a weasel does a pair of
rabbits. When or where they meet
you must be near enough to hear
what they say. I must-understand me
Il must know all their plans"
The man nodded.
Have you brought the paper?"
asked Sir Richard, after a pause, dur
ing which Stephen Hargrave stared
at the fire with the same settled look
of stoid gloom.
Sir Richard had to repeat the Ques-
ton again before it awakened any
response, and then it was with a GER
tain dreamy absence of mind that
the spy unbuttoned his. coat, took
sheet of paper from his pocket, and
handed it to his principal.
Sir Richard took it, and spreading
it out upon the table before him, ex-
amined it with leisurely scrutiny

He would carve the child lying in a
cradle. He drew a sketch and threw
it aside
He tried several others, and grew
dissatisfied with them all in turn.
At last a happy idea struck him
He would cut out two figures-the
child and the mother! He drew the
paper toward him and sketched out

On his way he passed his grim SER

That's all right said Louis, land
I'm glad of it. You must be more
careful. I can't spare my cook, val

time"
And with a kindly word he hurried
on.
With warm enthusiasm he
wheeled a block of marble ON to the
dias and there and then set to work.
He was full of his idea, and holly
eager to see it embodied. The minutes,
the hours flew by, and in all probab-
ility he would have worked on until
too tired to hold the chisel had not

most delightful form.

sprang into the hall.

down the steps in time to see Stella
pull up at the little wicket
Bareheaded, and with the light of
love flashing in his eyes he stood be-
side her, her hand lightly clasped in
his, his face upturned to hers with a
passionate welcome written in it.
DO you wish to kill me with sud-

dare to picture you near me-

delicious blush, smiled down upon
him with a sadness which he was

SCHOOL CHILDREN TAKE PART IN ENTERTAINMENT
 AT RAKOCzY HALL TODAY

Tn entertainment in which about 5O0 school children of the LongfeI- low school on Bostwick avenue are taking part is in progress at Rakoczy hall this afternoon, the proceeds to be used in payment for a new piano recently installed at the school.
 The affair includes a number of special dances by the children, and the rehearsals which have been very successful, aroused great enthusiasm among both the children and their parents, so that big crowd was present when the affair opened this afternoon.
 The Rakoczy Sick Benefit society which owns the hall, showed it's gen erostty by donating the use of the building free. Other patriotic resi-. dents of the district paid for the printing of the program in both Hun garian and English. The exercises are as follows:
 Salute to the flag; song, My Own U. S." by school; Little Shoemakers: Three Little Maidens; Folk dancs; Kindergarten circle; Puritan Maids: Indian Boys; Our Dollies; Leap Froc John; flag drill; parade of the states with folk songs; Parasol dance; Folk dance; Mother Goose; scarf drill: "Mr. Wrinkle on Skates" a sketch from Dickens; Hungarian Czardas.

RUSSIA FEARS IMPENDING WAR
 WITH TURKEY
Especial from United Press.

Especial from United Press.)
 St. Petersburg, Dec. 3-Fearing ac- tive aggression, on the part of Tur- key, the Czar has ordered heavy mob ilizat.on of troops in the province of Karz. in the trans-Caucasion district, adjoining Turkey.
 Although the cause of trouble be- tween Turkey and Russia is likely to be Russia's aggrandizement in Per. sia. it is known that Turkey is ex- tremely anxious to win back the Karz province, which has been seized from the Sultan three times by the Czar.
 The young Turks officers. it is said here, believe that a big war, with victory for the Turkish army, would add great prestige to their party, as we'll as give them chances for military renown. For tn S reason they seem determined to press war upon some one. and the Czar's advis- CTS believe Russia has been selected as the most suitable opponent.
 Karz Province was taken from Fur key by the Russians, first in 1925 and then won back by the Turks. It was taken again in 1855 and again Turkey won it back. Again Russia seized it.. in 1877, and it was finally ceded to the Czar in 1878. The capital of the province is Karz. a strongly fortified town and a place of great strategic importance to Russia.

 In the, States one hears a great deal about earthquakes in Central and South America and the fear has been expressed by some that such con- vulsion would destroy the locks and dams of the canal. Down at Panama, self is given visual and documentary , refutation. He is first taken to the Cathedral ruins in Panama City and there may see the magnificent brick arches which have been standing since early in the 17th century. They used days but the arches are still strong Nowadays the only earthquakes they have are sl ght movements, hardly mo- ticeable, and very rare.
 The documentary evidence is in the fact that scientists have classified Panama as without the 'earthquake belt.'' A few hundred miles northwest in Central America lies Costa Rica, a shaken and often convulsed nation. Tc the southeast lies South America well within another quaky Zone. Panama story shows no earthquakes of any SlZe TOT a, dozen or QecaQeS. The seismographs installed by the government to record earth shocks have made some peculiar records. For instance, the @record'' of the big earth quake at Costa Rica a. few years ago was smaller of less duration and in dicated feebler impulses. than the seismograph records at Washington o1 the same shock. .
 It is a well-known fact that con crete resists earthquake shocks, more successfully than any other construc- tive material.
 It is be ng used to the exclusion O1 everything else on the Canal. A shock of the same magnitude, as that which started the San Francisco fire would have little effect upon the massive locks and spillways. ~
 No mere recital of specifications of the Canal conveys the magnitude or difficulty of the work. They are making islands of two cont 'nents down there and new geography-they are building mountains and creating rivers.
