MYSTERY CHAMBERS.

Famous Locked Rooms In Some Of the

Perhaps the most famous locked

more. In this rambling pile there is
supposed to be a secret chamber, &C.
cess to which is known only to the
Earl Of Strathmore, the heir apparent
and the factor. The mysterious cham
Der is supposed to have been, centuries
ago, the repository of a grim family
scandal, the nature Of which could
only whispered even in those wild
days.
There is in Poulton Old Hall a mys
terious locked room which has never
been opened except by a representa-
tive Of the Green family. The hall and
its lands have sometimes been let, but
the Green family have always retain
ed possession Of this mysterious room.
which is supposed to contain ,severa!
relics and other family treasures. It is
said that the last tenant, a prominent
Mersey shipowner, would: have given
them an Increased rent for it If he
could have had acces to 1t or could
have cleared away the mysterious con-
tents. but the wner refused to give
up possession, and 20 the tenant left.
There is a very similar tradition at
Neither Hall, the Cumberland seat Of
the Senhouse family. Here. as at
CLAIMS castle, the position Of the Sc
cret chamber is known only to the
h~eir-at-law and the family solicitor.
The room, it is understood. has no
window and up till now has not been
located by any one not in possession Of
the key to the mystery.
A tragic interest attaches to the
ruins Of Minister Lowell house, in OK
fordshire. While it was tenanted by
a farmer a concealed vault was dis
covered, and in it was the perfect
skeleton of. Lord Lovel. seated at a
table on which was lying an open

PRESSURE OF WATER.

ito Effect Upon q corked Bottle Low
cred Into Ocean Depths.
A bottle partly filed with fresh water
and tightly corked can be lowered into
ocean depths, and IN being raised to
the surface it will be discovered on
opening it that the fresh water has
been replaced by salt.
This really extraordinary phenome-
non is explained in the following way:
The pressure of water increases as
the distance from the surface in
creases. Thus at the distance Of a foot
beneath the surface the pressure Of the
water a square inch will be about half
a pound; at a distance Of, say, 200
feet it will be 1875 pounds to the
square inch. At ocean level the pres
SURE of the atmosphere is a little over
fourteen pounds. Thus If a bottle con
tanning air were lowered thirty feet be-
meath the surface the pressure. of wa
ter would more than counterbalance
the pressure of the air. Ordinarily at
this depth, therefore, the pressure of
water should be sufficient to drive the
cork within the bottle, but the cork
is tightly wedged in position. To
squeeze it within the bottle it. too.
must first be compressed, and also
there is friction to be overcome.
The distance varying, then, accord
ing to these conditions, at some point
beneath the surface the weight Of wa
ter will force the cork into the bottle,
COMPRISING the air before It. The
salt water Of the ocean mingles with
the fresh water within the bottle. AS
the bottle again approaches he surface
the air that remains within is sub
jected to less and less pressure till
finally, now having itself a pressure
greater than that Of the water. it
drives the cork back into position st.

TRUST DECISIONS
Praises Action In Standard oil
and Tobacco Gases.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 19.:-President
Taft, at luncheon with the board of
commerce here, made the first Of what
may be termed the political speeches
Of his six weeks tour OF the country.
He talked of the Trusts and clearly
outlined his views concerning them.
He defended with yigor the de-
cfsions of the United States supreme
court in the Standard Oil and tobacco
trust cases and there was q distinct
campaign note in Mr.. Taft's challenge
to his ancient political enemy, Will
lam Jennings Bryan, to point out what
particular contract or restraint of
trade he would condemn which would
not be condemned within the defni.
ton of the statute as laid down by
Chief Justice White.
MI. Taft added, rather significantly,
that persons who do not understand
the decisions and really do not under
stand the law have had a great deal
to say about them. It was not fair to
the court, he declared, to say that it
had read the word reasonable" in the
antitrust statute.
II am entirely opposed to an
amendment of the antitrust law
said the president. 1T is now a valu-
able government asset and instrument.
Tested and brought into beneficial use
by twenty years of litigation and con-
struction by the highest court why
should we imperil it's usefulness by
experiments?

We see no reason why democratic
democrats and real progressive re-
publicans, who have much in common.
should not get on common ground if
need be next year. Party names mean
nothing unless there are living prln-
ciples behind the name, and party ties
are tenuous. If Ole Sageng, for in
stance, were a candidate for U. S. SEN
ator, it would be difficult to find a
democratic democrat-not Q bourbon
who would fear Sageng's entrance into
the senate. He would be a thousand
times preferable to a man calling him
self ''Democrat' who takes inspiration
from Wall street or Wall streets allies

Times, a keen observer, found much

And we don't know that we ought to

they take the performances of certain

that is not real democratic democracy.

Biq Noses In japan,

The nose plays a very important
part in Japan, owing, probably, that a
difference in noses constitutes about
the only distinction between one Jap
anese and another. The nose is the
only feature which attracts attention.
AS there are very few large noses to
be found in Japan, a lady with q large
nose is regarded as one Specially gfft-
ed by nature. She Is invariably a
reigning beauty and the envy of her
less favored sisters. In all Japanese
pictures in which ladies are portrayed
the artists are particularly careful to
make the nose of liberal dimensions.

The Solar PiexuS.

The Scriptural expression "bowels Of
compassion" is justified by the discov-
cries Of modern science. Whenever
anything affects our nerves we feel it
more or less in our "innards." It is
the solar plexus which is concerned
in such emotionalism. OF course in
itself it cannot feel, but it sends
messages to the brain, which inter-
prets them as coming from there. The
solar plexus is a mass of nerve and
nerve structures in the abdomen at the
back Of the .stomach.-New York Trib-
