THINKS HE CAN CURE LIARS.
Holy Cross Professor Says Prevention
Is First to Be Sought.

The Rev. Robert Switkerath, pro-
fessor of history and pedagogy at
Holy Cross college, in lecture before
the teachers congress in Boston col
lege said that ''the SO called confirmed
liar is not hopeless case, but may be
cured by patience and sympathetic in
terest"
The clergymans topic was "Preven-
ton and Cure of School Evils, Espe
cially Lying and Cheating"
american boys have more common
sense and fairer appreciation of
justness than any others in the
world" he said. 'It is important that
we should know the cause of evil in
the individual case. We should know
whether the cause is pure egotism,
excessive imagination. nervousness or
excitement or from misunderstood
motive of heroism. The treatment
will be different in different cases.
More important than the cure of ly-
ing is the prevention Of lying"

WORLDS GREATEST AIRSHlP.
JaPan's Will Be Ninety Feet Longer
Than Enqland's.

Japan is building the greatest dirigi-
BILE balloon ever known. Details re-
garding the aerial structure are said
to be Zealously guarded. but neverthe-
less it is announced that the aerial
monster will be 600 feet long. exceed
ing by ninety feet the length of the
British dirigible launched Il short time
ago at Barrow
1t will be a little more than fifty
feet in diameter and will be fitted with
six motors, each of 120 horsepower, so
that its total driving power will be
equivalent to 100 horsepower, or about
twice that of the motors on the British
airship.
These engines are expected 10 be
capable of driving an airship of its
dimensions against a wind of forty
miles velocity-that is. a storm wind
at the rate of thirty miles an hour.
But if there should be no wind it could
force its way through the air at
speed of seventy miles an hour.
The air vessel which Japan COM
pleted a few months ago was 400 feet
long and of the semirigid type. The
new one is being constructed on the
rigid principle. 1t will have a lifting
power of about forty-two tons-exact-
ly double that of the British dirigible.
1t could take on board at least twenty
tons of benzine for fuel. and any loss
of gas would be compensated for by
the consumption of the fuel BY this
means it ought to be able to remain
in the air a week and be under full
control the whole time.
About ten men will form its crew,
though the dirigible's carrying capacity
will be sufficient for thirty more men.
For ammunition and pneumatic cyln-
der bombs ample room is to be avail

NIT of Plymouth, Mass, died recently
at the home where he had lived the
life Of recluse for forty years. He

After coming home from the war he
retired to the old homestead, where
his hermit's life began. With his ad-

wealthy, although the exact amount
of his fortune cannot be determined.
Across the road from his home is a

FINDS A NEW RACE
IN AnCTlC AMERICA.
Discovery Made by Explorer Stefans-
son--European In Features.

That there IL a race of men resem-
bling Scandinavians living in Victoria
Land, in arctic America, who have
never seen other white men and took
the white mau who discovered them
for an Eskimo. Is the remarkable
statement contained in letter from
the explorer and anthropologist Vilhj-
mar Stefansson. who has been in the
arctic region for the last three years
or more on an expedition sent out by
the American Museum of Natural His
tory. The explorer states that these
far northern Americans have the
speech and habits of Eskimos. but are
European in features
In the finding Of the new communi-
ty Mr.. Stefansson believes he has in
troduced among ethnologists a new
problem of great scientific interest.
He suggests three possibilities. One
is that he has found a new branch of
the human family. Another is that
these beings may be the descendants
of the 5000 Scandinavians who sud
denly and mysteriously disappeared
from Greenland In the fifteenth cen
tury and of whom no trace has ever
been found.
He also suggests that they may be
descendants of large party of Sir
John Franklin's men who also mys-
teriously disappeared.
Mr.. StefaBsson left New York city
in April, 1908. With him when he
left was DR.. r. NJ. Anderson of Iowa,
who was the naturalist of the expedi-
ton, which left here with the inten-
ton Of learning something definite in
relation to the chronological puzzles of
the land north of Hudson bay.
The expedition has done what it set
out to do, Mr. Stefansson writes. and
has also found there is no large river
In the region. although one is desig
mated on maps as the river La Ron
ciere. He has learned that certain
cape is an island and that a certain
island on the present map is cape.

FOUNTAIN Of YOUTH
IN THE ARBUCKLES
CRIPPLED AND SORE ONE MAN
CURED AS BY A MIRACLE-HE
THROWS CRUTCH AWAY.

Ages ago, Ponce De Leon sought
the fountain of perpetual youth, and
of flowers; viz, the present state OF
Florida for his research. He did not
succeed in his endeavor and died a
broken-hearted man. Many years af-
ter, a real fountain of youth, or to
speak more literally, a spring that
would rejuyinate the aged and make
them feel young again, was found.
But this fountain or spring was dis
covered by the Aborigines of what IS
now the fair state of Oklahoma, and
at the little city that has a world
wide eputation-Sulphur
Many flocked to this city 70 regain
their health, and many came to make
investments and enter business,
among the many who arrived in the
latter years was Mr.. L. Easley. He
was getting along in years and he
was looking for that fountain of youth
even as the great Ponce De Leon, in
years past. He was suffering from
severe lameness, and the actions OF
the waters were slow. One day he con-
cluded that few days spent in the
Arbuckle mountains would be bene-
fetal, so he hied him to the present
scene of the great zinc activities.
While there he, having an eye to
business, concluded that he would
take a few leases and have them
recorded, which he did. Frequent
trips to the mountains greatly I'm
proved his general health, AMI on his
last visit, when he discovered and
was convinced by experts, that mis-
claims were among the richest in
zinc and copper of any in the world,
although he is now in his 10th year,
md was using a crutch, he immedi-
ltely cast that crutch aside and said
o his companions: Come, on boys,
cts walk back to Sulphur"
Talk about fountain of youth, there
S nothing like zinc claim IN the
Arbuckles to start the blood to cFcu-
ating.
