Due Precautions,

In town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived it to be place where, il
one should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached vigorous sermon, UNI
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. AT
the close Of the open-air service one
Of his admirers approached him and
said, regretfully:
II don't suppose that you knew that
the editor Of one Of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat"
Il reckon | knew it well, for I'd
been told of it," said the preacher,
calmly. II don't believe he's as bad
as he might be, and anyway, put my
coat on the chair close by and had it
right under my eye all the time

Prisoners

Viterbo, Italy. Fierce rioting
marked the arrival here of 80 members
Of the Camorra, who are to stand trial
in the near future for the murder of
James Cuocolo, a leading member of
the band. A mob Of relatives and
friends fought fercely to rescue them
from the police, but without success.
Heavily armed detachments of police
and carbineers forced back the mob
with their guns and succeeded in ef-
fecting the transfer from the train.
The men were brought here to stand
trial for the murder Of James Cuocolo.
a leading member of the band, who
had incurred the vengeance of the
Camorrists for alleged acts of treach-
cry. Cuocolo's body was found on the
seashore near Naples in June, 1906,
and the mutilated body of his wife was
discovered shortly afterward in a house
near by.

With the exception of Captain
Brown Of the Treverton, who belonged

hours before dawn.
At dawn the form of a stranded

realized that no lifeboat pulled by

The men of the Pine Forest were
seen to gather in a group, cut loose

Until now the ancient mariners
compass, which has been used by nav
igators for centuries, has been consid-
cred a fixed quantity. It is, therefore,
Interesting to learn that an improved
compass Is being tested by the navy
department on board the scout cruiser
Birmingham The new compass is
combined with a rapidly revolving gy-
roscope, which eliminates all varia-
ton and deviation of the needle of
the compass. This, according to nav
igators, will make the art of naviga-
ton much easier and remove the I'M
certainty Of ships location due to
variation and deviation of the COM
pass. Another advantage of the i'm
proved compass is that the main in
strument can be placed In the interior
of the ship, where 1t can be protected
by armor plate. Branch compass sta.
lions can be placed in different parts
of the ship, connected by an electric
wire to the main compass. So far the
reports on the new compass have been
satisfactory.
