MYSTERY CHAMBERS

Perhaps the most famous locked
room in the world is at Glamis
castle. the old home of the earls
Of Strathmore. In this rambling
pile there is supposed to be a
secret chamber, access to which is
known only to the Earl of Strath-
more. the heir apparent and the
factor. The mysterious chamber
is supposed to have been, CEN
turtles ago, the repository of a grim
family scandal. the nature of
which could only be whispered
even in those wild days.
There is in Poulton Old Hall a
mysterious locked room which has
never been opened except by rep
resentative of the Green family
The hall and its lands have some
times been let. but the Green fam
lily have Always retained possession
of this mysterious room, which is
supposed to contain several relies
and other family treasures. 1t is
said that the last tenant, d promi-
nent Mersey shipowner.w would have
given them an increased rent for it
if he could have access to it or
could have cleared away the mys-
FERROUS contents, but the owners re.
fused to give up possession, and SO
the tenant left.
There is very similar tradition
at Neither Hall, the Cumberland
seat of the Senhouse family. Here
as at Glamis castle, the position Of
the secret chamber is known only
to the heir-at-law and tine family
solicitor. The room, il is under
stood has no window and up till
now has not been located by any,
one not in possession Ct the key to
the mystery.
A tragic interest attaches to the
ruins If Minister Lovel house, in
Oxfordsbire. While it was tenanted
by a farmer a concealed vault was
discovered. and in it was the per-
feet skeleton. of Lord Lovel, seated
at table on which was lying an
open prayer book. There were some
jars and barrels which had con-
tanned food, sufficient no dJubt to
last some weeks; but the mansion
having fallen into the hands Uf
King Henry VII the prisoner was
unable to regain his liberty. The
discovery cleared up a mystery
which had surrounded his fate for
nearly two centuries. --Pcarson's

GREWSOME FIND

Whilee working in the tunnel Of
the Baby Mine claim about a
quarter of mile east of the
Continuation shaft yesterday Sam
Clements found the skull and pelvis
bones of a man who had probably
been murdered years ago. He
was cleaning out the tunnel and
came upon the bones lying in the
middle of the tunnel under about
four feet of earth. For about
four feet along the bottom of the
tunnel, where the bones were lying
there were about four inches of
ashes. showing that quite fire
had occurred at the time of the
mans death. From the appear
ance of the tunnel, where he made
the discovery Mr.. Clements
believes that two men were work
ing there and probably quarrel
arose and one killed the other, and
then DESTROYED the body by burn
ing it. The caving from the top
of the tunnel had hidden the bones
and the ashes. and the murderer
is likely still alive.
Mr.. Clements took the bones to
DR.. Hodgins, who gave it as his
opinion that the man had died
about twenty-five or thirty year,
ago. Part Of the skull and the
teeth were covered with copper
crystals. showing that the body
had been buried for a long time
Mr. Clements found other bones,
but believed they were those of
some animal and had thrown them
over the dump until he came upor
the skull. He will make another
search for more bones today

The RICHEST LAND
IN THE WORLD

Nitrogen is the expensive
element in all we'll balanced
fertilizers, and is likewise, the
element in which most farm lands
are deficient. For a million years,
perhaps, nitrogen fixing process
has gone on in the Florida Ever
glades. anil today the soil is
probably richer in this valuable
constituent than is that of any
other considerable area on the
face of the globe. From eleven
official samples of Evergalde muck,
taken from widely separated
PLACES a mean analysis shows 2.2l
per cent nitrogen. ..
Nitrogen is computed to be
worth fifteen cents per pound,
which would place the commercial
value of the average Everglade
soil at $6.63. per ton. Think of
it for moment. A million acres
of soil, varying in depth from four
to twenty feet, situated in a sub.
tropical climate and having an
actual commercial value of more
than six dollars per ton. Can you
