MOST REMARKABLE
PRISON IN THE WORLD

Cettinje, the capital of the kingdom
of Montenegro, has probably the most
remarkable prison in the world. No
walls surround it and the inmates, who
furnish their own cells just as they
please, seem to stay there only because
they find their quarters comfortable
The diet is liberal, with wine on occa-
sions and cigarettes to taste. There is
no work to do; no distinctive garb is
worn. and comparatively free inter
course is allowed with the outside
world. On certain feast days the pris-
oners are allowed to entertain their
friends.

PRINTING INVENTED
FORTY CENTURIES AGO
Recent Discovery at Phacotos,
Crete, Proves This

Typographists believe that they are
the children of Gutenberg But the
advent of printing dates much farther
back. for we learn that they have dis

These signs are not engraved. but
are made with a punch. This is said
to be the first example of Typography
dating from about the twentieth cen
tury before our era.
Some time ago it was asserted that
electricity was known to the Phara obs.
and now we have it that printing was
known at least 40 centuries ago. What
invention, we may ask, can belong to
modern peoples?

STRANGE FISH RAISED
IN CHINA AND JAPAN
Abnormal Hues aud Curious
Shapes Are Produced

Although gold fish probably were
introduced into England from China so
long ago as 1911, general interest in
aquarium matters is but little more
than 80 years old. The Japanese and
Chinese, on the other hand, have in
dulged in the rearing and breeding of
fish in confinement for many centuries.
and as a result OF careful selection have
succeeded in evolving many extraordi-
narily quaint and beautiful varieties.
some examples of which are to be
seen in the Garden of Peace at the
Japan British exhibition. While the
Chinese appear to devote their atten-
tion chiefly to the production of fish of
abnormal hues, the japanese have
achieved success mainly in the rearing
of specimens of curious shape and ab-
normally fine development. the tele-
scope fish-a variety of gold fish with
projecting eyes and extensive tail
being an extreme example.

stared them IN the face.
In despair the miner seized his pick
and wandered away to the outskirts OF
the gold field, and as he wandered,
downcast and heavy hearted, he no.
ticed a CLEAN of yellow in rut made
by a peddler's cart. Lifting his pick,
with few frantic blows he brought to
light an enormous nugget, which, with
all his strength, he could barely raise
an inch from the ground. The nugget,
which was soon known the world over
as the Welcome Stranger" actually
weighed two hundredweight and was
sold for nearly $4,000.
And these were but few OF the
many similar blocks of gold discovered
In Australia under equally dramatic

day his attention was arrested by a
yellow rock projecting few inches

the discovery he ran to fetch his mas

proved to be nugget Of two hundred

gold were extracted.
A few years later another monster
nugget made its appearance at Balla-
rat A party of miners had worked a
claim to a depth of sixty yards when
| one Of them struck with his pickax a
hard, irregularIy shaped mass, which
on being unearthed proved to be a
block of almost pure gold twenty
| inches long, a foot wide and seven
| inches deep It's weight was almost
one hundredweight and a quarter and
its value $46.625.
1t was the periodical discovery al
Ballarat of these monster nuggets
which first fred the blood OF the en-
tire world in the faraway ffties. But
even Ballarat has no other romance te
rival that of the discovery Of two huge
nuggets within few days In the same
claim. The story runs that four miners
had worked their claim down to abou
sixty feet when one Of them brough
to light nugget weighing nearly
one hundredweight and worth $27 800

STRANGER ON PLATFORM
He Stuck Until He Had His Say. Was Seized By the Colonel In Self Defense and Forcibly Elected. Colonel Not Alarmed

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 5.-A man who fought his way to Theodore Roosevelt and called him a liar gave d bad scare to the crowd today at Island park in this city. Roosevelt helped eject him from the platform.
 The colonel had just finished his Labor Day address. A heavy rain storm came up shortly before the colonel began to speak and drenched the people, but most of them sat through the afternoon in their wet clothes to hear him. As he spoke the last words of his speech there was a rush for the speakers stand by thousands who sought to get near .enough to see Roosevelt at snort range and shake his hand
 Some of the bolder persons mounted the steps to the speakers side and rushed to RoOsevelt's side. A small. poorly dressed man pushed his way through the mass until he could make himself heard by the colonel. He wore a battered hat and was unshaven.
 T have d question to ask you. Colonel Roosevelt" he shouted.
 Men and women on the stand grew
 
 faced him.
 Waving one arm, the man shouted: ''I want to know who is paying the expenses of this trip of yours about the country?''
 The question angered Roosevelt and he showed it. He advanced a step toward the interrogator and shot back the answer:
 T consider that to be an imperti nent question" he said. However. I have no objection to telling you He added that the expenses of all the party are being paid by the magazine of which he is one of the editors.
 lou lie" the man shouted. so loudly that hundreds of persons in the crowd could hear him. As he spoke the words Roosevelt stepped forward quickly and seized his arm just above the elbow He explained later that he did not know who the man was or what his intentions were. but that he had taken hold of his arm as a meas ure of self-protection.
 This vigorous action did not deter the man from finishing what he had to say. and he shouted: "YOur ex- penses are being paid by the people of the United States"
 Although Roosevelt was the first to act. others ran quickly to assist him and even before the man had finished his remarks two others had seized him. The colonel did not release his grip until the stranger was being moved rapidly from the stand. He was elected from the platform and was swallowed up in the excited crowd.
 An effort was made to find the man. but all traces of him were lost No one of thosew ho had seen hmi knew who he was.
 Roosevelt said he was not at all alarmed by what had happened.

The largest crowd in this campaign, or in any political campaign in this county. met at the city hall plaza last night to hear former Governor Geer of oregon speak on the so-oalled ore gon Plan" and the mistakes made by that state wren it adopted the intiti- ative and the referendum with its en- suing train of evils. It was most attentive crowd There were several who had not come to the meeting in sympathy with the views of the speak CT and who had determined before coming not to get in sympathy. Such persons were mostly socialists and oth- CTS who placed their natural wisdom and theories above the experience or the distinguished speaker. He was in terrupted from time to time by hair brained individuals who usually re ceived answers according to their fol- Iy. The crowd was held well for an hour and probably would have been held well for an hour and half long CT if the speaker had continued.
 Governor Geer was introduced by Mayor Christy, who referred to his distinguished services in his native state. the part he had taken in oregon reforms ending in the breaking up of the Mitchell machine and of his friend ship for and loyalty to the policies of Theodore Roosevelt.
 Governor Geer prefaced his remarks with the assurance that he had not come to Arizona with the purpose of Incoming one of the first senators from the new state.

FIGHTING FOR FOOD
 AS WELL AS LIFE
STORY OF SURVIVORS OF THE
 STEAMER WEST POINT.
Unsuccessful Effort to Provision the
 Small Boats.

Fishguard, Wales, Sept 5.-The Mauretania arrived today, having on board Captain Pinkham and fifteen of the crew picked up after they had been at sea in a small boat six days following the burning of their vessel, the British tramp West Point.
 Captain Pinkham said the fire start ed in the engine room August 27. The flames drove the engineers from their posts and spread so rapidly that soon the donkey engines operating the pumps were disabled by the heat. An attempt was made to eXtinguish the
 fire by bucket brigade, but the hope lessness of the effort was quickly apparent and the captain ordered the small boats lowered. From the bunkers the flames made their way to the storeroom galley. which prevented provisioning the small boats, the in tense heat repeatedly driving back the sailors who attempted to secure suf- ficient food to keep them until they were picked up.
 Though pressed hard by the fire, the crew stood by the ship until Sun day afternoon, when the captain or dered all hands to the boats. Through out the night the boats each carrying sixteen, cruised in the vicinity. In the morning another attempt was made to secure the needed stores from the burning craft. then sinking, and she was boarded, but scarcely any thing of consequence was secured.
 On Monday the ship foundered.
 The captain and the men suffered severely and only by dint of hard work saved their boat. We suffered horrors" said Captain Pinkham. we were without food or water. The men had to bail the boat necessarily to keep it afloat" The mate and fifteen others of the crew were picked up by the DevOnian.

in this case. but he would confirm the statement of Mayor Christy that he was a Roosevelt republican. believer in that greatest of Americans and the friend of the common people.
 The speaker said that it had just been brought to his notice that the afternoon democratic papers had printed telegram from oregon signed by United States Senator Chamber lain in which it was stated that former Governor Geer was a machine politi- elan, the server of corporations and that his objection to the oregon plan was based on the fact that under 1t he had been defeated for office.
 Governor Geer said that never in his life had he had any interest in any corporation either as a member or representative. He had never per formed any service for any corpora ton. That he had never been ma chine politician was attested by hls efforts in breaking up the last machine that had existed in his state. He add ed that he was not a politician of any kind: that if he had been a politician he would probably have been better off. but that he would certainly have been better off if he had never had anything to do with politics.
 He had always been a plain farmer, ard was so at the time of his nomina- ton for governor, which was made by exclamation. He was not at the con- vention but was at work on his farm 2OO miles away His first news of the result of the convention was brought him by children on their way home from school.
 The governor said that he would later in his speech refer to Senator Chamberlain and his colleague, Sena- tor Bourne both products of the Ore gon system.
 The speaker sought to impress upon
