TREASURE HUM SEASON.

The season of the treasure hunt Is
once more "on," and al along the At
Iantic coast, from Labrador to the
Gulf of Mexico, with side excursions to
the islands of the Caribbean sea, OPP
timistic persons who have resurrected
some legend of pirate gold which
seems to them convincing, are touring
the face of nature in an attempt to
find chests of coin and jewels-or
casks of rum At this point the reader
will suspect an anti-climax. The state
ment is not so intended. Buccaneers
had to cache their stores Of solid and
liquid provision, and they did not al
ways find opportunity to dig them up
again. A tradition of substance at
taches to Oak island, IL Malone bay,
Nova Scotia, as the scene of "Dlant"
OF valued beverages, and an amiable
yagabond who processes to have as
sisted at it's uncovering and to have
drank some of the rum" is still a
questionable ornament Of the Bay Of
Fundy region. Undoubtedly much
treasure of a more desirable quality
has been exhumed during the last CEN
fury or two and quietly carried away,
there being more than one reason why
discoveries of such loot should hold
their tongues about it. Probably, how
ever, the legend that gave the clue
will persist for centuries to come, in
spring adventures yet unborn to
spend much valuable time in digging
on Jewel island or GARDENERS island or
Campobello or any one of hundred
other places.

The Rude Visitor.

There is a story about the secretary
of a golf club who was a man of d.
minutive stature. 1t was summer time,
and the grass had been allowed to
grow rather long. The secretary was
playing in front of visitor who was
a very long driver, and kept dropping
his ball in the neighborhood of the
secretary all the way round. At last
the little man could stand 1t no longer
and walked back and demonstrated
with the visitor on his conduct, but
the only reply he got was, "If you
would cut the grass, one might be
able to see YOU"

MAKES GREAT FLIGHT
YOUNG AVIATOR Is SUCCESSFUL
IN COVERING JOURNEY
BOTH WAYS
FROM N. Y. TO PHILADELPHIA
Goes Nearly Mile Minute, Followed
BY an Express Train.-Accident
On Return Trip Is Overcome
in Short Time.

New York. N. Y. - Charles K.
Hamilton arose in his aeroplane from
Governors Island and sped without a
break SO miles to Philadelphia in a
remarkable crosscountry fight under
the auspices of the New York Times
and the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
He made the trip in one hour and 81
minutes, leaving Governors Island at
7:35 and landing at Philadelphia at
1926.
Alighting at Aviation Field, he de-
livered letters from Governor Hughes
and Mayor Gaynor to Governor Stuart
and Mayor Reyburn, accepted mes
sages of acknowledgment from them
to bear in return and started for New
York again with only brief 1ntermis-
sion for food, fuel and oil.
He had flown approximately 70
miles of his return journey when a
sluggish motor drove him to descend
in swamp near South Amboy at 1:55
p. m. The propeller was broken there
in landing, but after repairs had been
made Hamilton resumed his fight at
500 and landed at Governors Island
at 6:39. Thus the return trip was
made in one hour and sc minutes at
an estimated average speed of 1896
miles an hour, which broke the record
made by Curtiss in his fight from Al
bany to New York.
That Hamilton did not make the
return trip as easily as the outgoing
trip, was due only to an commission of
haste In his hurry to get away, he
| neglected to clean his spark plugs;
! they fouled, the engine baked and he
| had to come down on the banks of the
Raritan river, two miles above South
| Amboy.

Three New Records.


for speed, but Hamilton took all Ameri-
can records for cross country distance
and duration, and using his own fig
ures for the return journey, his aver
age speed per mile, established new
figure.
The accident to the propeller in the
Jersey swamp was the second mishap
of the kind during the day, but tele-
phone call to Governors Island
brought a new one by auto with new
set of spark plugs and the aviator was
able to finish within IL hours, al
though "a hours were allowed in the
terms of his contract.
Carrying as he did letters between
the two cities, Hamilton created the
first aerial fast mail by the overland
route to Philadelphia and return and
demonstrated that an aeroplane can
deliver mail from one city to another
with the punctuality of government
service. During the whole of his first
lap he never varied SAore than two
minutes from his time card and came
down on the handkerchief laid to
mark his landing spot, with the pre-
cision of homing pigeon settling on
it's perch.
1t is an interesting coincidence that
Hamilton won his honors with the
same biplane that won the interna-
tional speed trophy for Glenn H. Cur
tiss at Rheims last year and that he
was driven by the same propeller with
which Curtiss made his fight from AL
bany to New York.

TURKISH PALACE IS BURNED.
Parliament Building Costing $4,000.
600 Completely Destroyed.

Constantinople, Jan. 20.-The palace
of Cheragan, where the Turkish par
lament meets, was entirely destroyed
by fire. The loss is great as the
bdilding alone cost about SIG, 900.
The fire originated between the priv
ate apartments reserved for the sui
tan and the chamber of deputies and
is believed to have been due to de-
fective heating apparatus, although
there have been reports current that
reactionary agents were responsible
for it.
The fire started shortly before noon
and strong wind famed the flames
which spread with great rapidity.
Little furniture and very few of the
important documents were saved.
Practically all the achieves of the
chamber of deputies, including impor.
cant bills and the budget estimates
were burned. AS a consequence, the
business of parliament will be seri-
ously interrupted.
