Vanished Mountains,

1t has been observed that In the

than elsewhere. and the explanation Is
that the earth's crust Is less dense be-

heaved up. Assuming this to be q

that It Is possible to discover VIII re

It was In the days Of Philip the
Good. duke Of Burgundy, that q cob
bier mounted a royal throne. As the
duke was travelling one night to
Bruges he came upon q man stretched
upon the ground sound asleep and
babe his attendants carry him to the
palace, strip OF his rags and place
him, ROBBED In fine linen. In his own
bed.
When the man awoke next morning
he was addressed as your highness"
and astounded to find himself among
such rich surroundings. In vain he
protested that he was no prince. but
poor cobbler. They asked him what
clothing be would wear and at last
conducted him. splendidly dressed, to
mass In the ducal chapel. Every cere.
mony was observed throughout the
day. The cobbler appeared in public
In his new role. was received on all
sides by command Of the duke with
deep respect and ended his brief reign
in the palace with q grand supper and
ball.
When presently he fell asleep he
was reclothed In his rags and taken to
the spot where he had been found
when this practical joke was con-
ceived. Waking In due time. he re-
turned home and related to his wife
what he took to be his wonderful

One Of the most remarkable pieces

device which anticipated several Of

little device Is considered today!
II We had no Adams apple there
would have been more deaths from
apoplexy and brain disorder than ever
chronicled In history. Instead Of be-
ing q useless organ this article serves
as an important storage system to
protect the brain.
For instance. when We are excited
or too animated the heart pumps the
blood up to the brain q little too fast.
and II it>could not be stopped by some
automatic device death or brain dis
ease would follow. The Adams ap-
pie Il the blood storage cistern which
intercepts the rapid dow and holds
the surplus blood.

runs short and the brain Is likely to
suffer from nm insufficient supply the

Of blood. Thus this organ acts au-
tomatically to check and increase the

THE ENGLISH NAVY.
Fighting Ships Used to Be Hired Out
In Times of Peace.

In Times OF Peace.
In the earliest times Of the British

peace men-of-war traded as merchant
men. while merchantmen always went
armed. Thus I'm time Of war the
trader became the warship. and vice

and probably earlier down to the days
Of Elizabeth this was the ordinary
practice Elizabeth hired out ships of
