SAID TO BE A DESERTER
Millionaire" Marine Form erly 10 Artill-
ery-An Extraordinary Case

Epes Winthrop Sergeant. million
aire" recruit of the Marine Corps al
League Island, who is declared in
dispatches from Portland, Ore., to
be a deserter from Company B,
Sixth Artillery, has disappeared.
No longer does the glad raiment of
the millionaire gladden. the sight of
the marines at the yard, and they
are wondering whether they will
ever get that barrel of beer promised
by the plutocrat who for a short
space tarried in their midst.
Two short days ago Sergeant came
from Chicago, where he had enlisted.
Yet in those two days he made Ma
rine Corps history. He raised the
local detachment of marines high IN
the estimation of their fellows the
seacoast over, for the Philadelphia
aggregation owned millionaire.
Now he is gone, and none of his
mates will receive that dollar apiece
he promised them. Three hundred
of the "boys' were going to touch
Sergeant for one dollar each today,
but that dream has been dissipated
with the disappearance of the pride
of the Corps.
When word came from Portland
to the effect that the man was de-
serter nothing could be done by the
local authorities, the telegram not
having been official. The matter
was mentioned to Sergeant and he
airily brushed suspicion aside
Most extraordinary thing, you
know. this wire," he said. Moth
ing in it at all, old chap. believe
me. Then he applied for leave of
absence-and got it. He has not
come back
Sargeant's leave of absence was
up at o'clock this morning, and to
date nothing has been heard or seen
of him. Sergeant Major Hubbard
shook his head sadly when questioned
on the subject.
well, ! guess he's deserted, all
right, all right" he said.
Until the man has been gone ten
days, however, he is merely "ab-
sent without leave" and no effort
will be made to catch him.
On Sargeant's little cot in the bar
racks is suit of pink silk pajamas.
His neat travelling bag, with its
silver manicure set inside, remains
beside his bed. These things are
visible signs of the glory that once
belonged to the Corps, but the men
shake their heads and pass by, for they
did not get that barrel of beer. To
lose man who could promise a bar
rel of beer every time the marines
won football game was a severe
blow.
To lose man who had the nerve
to promise to lend money to every
body in sight as often as they want
ed it was still more sad, but the
crowning misfortune of all was the
cancellation of theater party sched-
uled for tonight. Taxicabs were to
have drawn up to the navy yard gate,
and the marines, resplendent in full
dress uniforms, were to have entered
the machines, driven to the theater,
and forever and for aye to have set.

WELLMAN is ALL RIGHT
But His DirigibIe Balloon Is Lost-Pick-
ed Up Almost Midway Between Hat.
teras And Bermuda

The Walter Welman airship ex-
pedition was rescued from its crippled
craft yesterday morning by the
Royal Mail Steam Packet steamer
Trent about $50 miles westward
from Bermuda and $50 miles east
of Cape Hatteras.
The crew, including the cat, was
brought safely aboard the Trent
after much difficulty, but the giant
airship was abandoned. 1t rose
high in the air and was blown away
by the wind.
The America left Atlantic City
Sunday morning about o'clock in a
fog. The same evening it came near
colliding with a schooner off Barne-
gat.
The last wireless sssge from the
America was received at the Siascon-
set Station at l2:45 p. m. Sunday, at
which time it was off Nantucket Is
land, intending to sail northwest
along the steamer lanes to Europe.
That night, when off Nova Scotia,
storm blew the big dirigible far to
the southwark.
The "equilbrator" worked badly,
the airship was menaced by light
ming and gasoline had to be thrown
into the sea. Other mishaps occur
red until Wellman decided to look
for assistance.
The finding of the Trent was pro-
vidential as few vessels pass in that
part of the ocean.
The America was II hours III the
air, a worlds record, and travelled
about $50 miles.
Mr.. Wellman is not discouraged and
plans another trip. Baltimore Sun.

Laymen's Meeting AT ST. Johns
Saturday And Sunday
Next
A MISSIONARY MOVEMENT
Secretary David h. Brown Pleased With
Prompt And Hearty Response To
Call To Men

In no place in which l have
worked previously, has there been so
prompt and hearty response to the
call to men to take part in the Lay
mems Missionary Campaign as have
met in Annapolis.
This was the statement made this
morning by Mr.. David II. Brown who
is handling the work here. The
statement was made in special refer
ence to the Annapolis convention,
which meets in the st. Johns Col
lege gymnasium on Saturday and
Sunday. October 20 and 80. Under
the business-like direction of Mr..
Brown. a number of the committees
have already met and the work is be-
ing taken up with great enthusiasm.
Mr.. Brown is now receiving ap-
plications for registration for the An
napolis convention at his office in the
Advertiser Republican Building. One
of the features of the convention
will be the dinner on Saturday night.
1t will be an undenominationa affair,
and should bring together the great
est number of the Christian men of
Annapolis, who have ever assembled
for joint work. The registration fee
is so cents and the subscription to
the dinner is also so cents. Regis
tration has already begun.
Sunday the 30th of October, will
be the great day for Annapolis in con-
nection with the sLaymen's Mission
ary Movement. There will be spec
ial speakers in the churches in the
morning at the regular services, and
great massmeetings in the st.
Johns gymnasium at $3.50 and s p.
m. The union of Christian people of
this vicinity for one object, the
obedience of Gods command "to go
into all the world and preach the Cos
pei to every creature" should be
enough to thrill every person who at
tends and to give a wonderful i'm
petus to the work.
The Pastors Advisory Committee
has met and decided that special SER
mons in connection with the move
ment will be preached in every pulpit
in Annapolis and vicinity on Sunday,
or that specially selected laymen will
make addresses. At o'clock in the

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
OF Anne Arundel County.
(Communicated).

Now that the Congressional primary
is over and the Hon. j. Enos Ray has
been fairly nominated as the democratic
standard bearer in this district, and as
the majority shall rule is one of the
cardinal principles of the democratic
party. he is entitled to the earnest sup
port of every sincere democrat and par
ticularly those who participated in the
primary contest. 1t is dishonorable for
a man to take part in primary meet
ing and then vote against the nominee,
simply because his favorite in the CON
test was defeated and | cannot believe
there are many such in dear old Anne
Arundel. Mr.. Ray is mentally qualified
to represent us in congress and is an
honest, straightforward democrat, and
as such, believes in the traditions, his
tory and principles of the democratic
party and what more should any demo
cratic voter demand of his party's
candidate? 1t would be most mortify-
ing should the election be so close in
the district that the vote of Anne
Arundel County should decide it and
elect the republican candidate 1t is
the duty, therefore, of every democrat
to turn out on the day of election,
Tuesday, November the 8th, 1910, and
cast his vote for Mr.. Ray;

LAW OF GRAVITY VIOLATED.
Conditions Under Which Water Ao-
tually Flows Upward.

water seeks its level" Is an ex-
preston heard so frequently as to be
almost trite, and yet the law has its
exceptions. There are conditions un-
der which water actually flows up
ward and rises above its source. If a
glass tube be dipped into water the
column inside will be above the level
of the surrounding surface. Moreover
If tube Of half the diameter be sub
Stituted the column doubles its height
The water crPeps along the inside OF
the tube, owing to the adhesion, and
forms a cup shaped depression at the
top.
An explanation is not difficult. 1t
can be proved mathematically that II
the diameter of a circle be diminished
one-half the circumference Is also re
duced to that extent while the area Is
one-fOurth Of its former value. The
circumference of the column of water
being reduced one-half. its contact
with the glass. and hence the adhesive
force, is also diminished to that extent
while the cross section, and hence the
weight. is decreased to a fourth Of
what it was before. Therefore the sec
ond column can be twice the height of
the first without exceeding the lifting
power
Remarkable as the underlying pfin-
ciples of this phenomenon undoubtedly
are, nature made use Of them long be-
fore man made their discovery. Every
tree and flower adds its testimony,
The core Of tree or plant, instead Of
being a single open channel, consists
of q spongelike substance containing
many miniature tunnels. through
which the sap and moisture collected
by the roots flow upward In small riv-
ulets, rising higher and higher In
sheer defiance of the great law Of
gravity.-St, Louis Republic.

CARAVAN BREADMAKlNG.

comans Like Sand.

The bread of the Afghan caravan
was cooked 10y heating small round
eobblestones In the fire and then pok-
Ing them out and wrapping dough an
Inch thick about them. The balls thus
formed were again thrown into the
fire. to be poked out again when cook
ed. The bread tasted well there ln the
desert, although In civilized communi-
ties the grit and ashes would have
seemed uncomfortable.
After good fellowship had been es
tabllshed the Afghans actually sold us

happened to be beside the sandy bed

is at its height and the salt is concen-
trated.

as we dismounted: here is some sand.
Tonight we can have some good
bread"
When some dry twigs had been gath.
cred he proceeded to smooth of bit
of the cleanest sand and built upon Il
hot fire. When the sand was thor
oughly hot he raked off most OF the
Goals and smoothed the sand very neat
ly. Meanwhile one of the other men
had made two large sheets OF dough
about three-quarters of an inch thick
and eighteen inches In diameter. Be.
tween these he placed u layer of Jumps
Of Sleeps tail fat. making a huge
round sandwich. This was now spread
on the hot sand. Goals mixed with sand
were placed completely over II, and 1t
was left TO bake. Now and then an
edge was uncovered. and a Turcoman
smelled 1t appreciatively and raped
on 1t TO see If II was yet cooked.
When the top was thoroughly baked
the bread was turned over and covered
up again. 1t tasted even better than
the Afghan bread after 1t was cooled
a little and the sand and ashes had
been whisked off with girdle. The
Turcomans are SO accustomed to life
