THE LOST ATLANTIS.
Fate of the Continental Island as Told
by the Aneents.

Fate of the Continental island as Told
by the Ancients.
''The Lost Atlantis" is a favorite
subject of song and story, and even
now strange tales are told by sailors
who claim to have seen a great white
city rearing its don1es and minarets
up through the green of the sea.
Atlantis was continental island be-
tween Europe and America. Scion as
long ago as GOO B. c. learned the sto-
ny in Egypt, and it is from him and
later from Plato that the tale has been
handed down to modern peoples.
Atlantis was reigned over by three
kings of marvellous power, and the in-
habitants were warlike people far
advanced In civilization. The three
kings finally became so pulled with
power that they united forces and
planned descent on Europe, the pur-
pose of which was TO destroy and en-
slave. The Athenians met the in
vaders and after fearful battle gain
ed decisive victory.
Two days later mighty earthquakes
shook the earth, and tremendous inun-
dations came. When peace succeeded
elemental turmoil the sea stretched
where once had been Atlantis.

A Quicker Process,

A story is told of n certain famous
inventor who is fortunate enough to
be able to employ large staff of en-
gineers and mathematicians to aid him
In the solution of knotty problems.
Some time ago the inventor desired TO
find the cubic capacity of a certain yes-
sci of msymmetrical proportions and
asked his mathematician to solve the
problem. As the story goes, the mathe-
maticians spent weeks of time, filed
whole books with their calculations
and finally presented what they said
was close approximation to the true
result. Thereupon the famous inyen-
tor placed the vessel on n platform
scale, filled 1t to the brim with water,
obtained Its weight when full and
when empty, and In few minutes he
had result as good as the mathe-
maticians-for that particular vessel

Rowing Insane Man Believed to Be Re-
sponsible For Deaths In Three
Widely Separated Cities.
On the theory, supported by strong
cireumstantial evidence, that rowing
maniac is responsible for the murders
of fourteen persons in three widely
separated cities within the last month.
appeals have been made by the au-
thorities of these cities to the Chicago
police To assist in the capture of the
murderer.
The mysterious trail of death began
in Colorado Springs, Sept. II. From
there it led to Monmouth, H., on Oct.
l, and last Sunday it reached the town
of Ellsworth, Kan,
The murders were all committed on
Sunday nights and each two weeks
apart Oct, 30, II the schedule is main
tanned, will be marked by repetition
of the crime. Police In central and
western cities have been notified to
keep a strict watch for the criminal.
The murders aseribed to the maniac
are:
Colorado Springs. Sept. II, Mrs. A.
j. Durham and two children and j.
c. Wayne, his wife and child. Families
murdered In their homes, their skulls
crushed by blunt instrument.
Monmouth, Ill, Oct. 1. W. IL. Daw-
son, wife and thirteen-year-old daugh-
ter, Clara. The Dawsons were muir
dered in the house as they slept. Their
skulls were crushed, as II an axe or
lead pipe had been the instrument of
death.
Ellsworth, Kan, Oct 10. William
Snowman, wife and three children,
Lester, aged seven; Fern, aged four,
and Fenton, aged two. They were all
murdered in bed and, as in the pre-
vious murders, their skulls had been
crushed by n blunt weapon.
Not clue has been obtained by the
police of any of tho three cities. The
similarity of the crimes, the fact that
they occurred Sunday night, and the
two weeks intervening between each
murderons visit, alone give the author
tiles n tangible working basis for the
clearing of the mysteries.

THE AERoPLANE I'M WAR.

The aeroplane scouts and bomb
choppers are not going to have an
easy time in active service. The mill
tary strategists are anticipating this
service and formulating plans to con
fuse and destroy them. Germany is
more active in this direction than any
other nation, and must be credited
with ingenuity in working out schemes
of deception to mislead and trap the
aeroplanists.
At the present German maneuvers
aeroplanes are being utilized for scout
ing purposes. and the opposing troops
have adopted a plan of placing dummy
guns and dummy figures to mislead
the aerial spies, while the real troops
an entirely different position.
The man in the air has got to keep
out of the reach of projectiles; and
that makes his opportunity for close
observation all the more uncertain.
1t will take real service to determine
what birds eye views of the foe are
worth, and to settle the accuracy of
high-spying
One thing is certain, that in the next
war troops will have to look out not
only for horizontal but also perpendic-
ular cover. In well wooded countries
this would be comparatively easy, and
proba bly, the deception that would re-
suit from large bodies of troops being
n.assed in thick woods, where they
would be hidden from the aeroplane
scouts, would be even more fatal to
the strategy CT their opponents than
under the old methods of warfare.

THE AMERICANS AS CANDY
EATERS.

It is estimated that Uncle Sam
could build one hundred battleships
upon the money his people spend upon
sweets every year.
The per capita use of sugar is s117
pounds. or 405.s5 pounds to the aver
age family a year. The sugar eating
habit Goes not improve heauh or ad-
vance the comfort or tho people.
Good Housekeeping says that nearly
or quite four times as much candy
is produced in the United States as
was made ten years ago. The census
figures. when completed, will bear out
this statement. Candy factories have
doubled in number. and then doubled
again. within the last decade, and
candy shops are as thick, almost, as
liquor saloons 1t is estimated that
the factory value of the candy product
of the United States for the year 1910
was at least $250,Oo0.0o0.
In Chicago. where vast quantities of
candy are menufa ctured, $3.50. 600
is reckoned as a woefully low estimate
Chica go's candy production in 1910
increased 80 per cent. over the output
Cf 1909. If we can take the assurance
Of experts in the trade that the con-
sumner rays an average price of 90
cents pound for candy, then $780,
100000 viii purchase $500, 900, 600
pounds, or considerably more than
one million tons.
One purchaser alone Cthe United
States Steel corporation bought ten
tons of candy last Christmas for the
chilcren of it's employees.
It is not so very strange that sugar
is dear when the dema nd is increas-
ing SO, and the crop of sugar showing
decrease of millions of pounds.
