THE STORY IS
THRILLING

London, Apr. 1S.-A thrilling sto-
ry of what is termed "the last mo-
ments of the Titanic" was given pub
lication here last night by leading
paper, claiming reliability for the
report. 1t said in part:
"The great ship sunk by the head,
and had reached an angle of about
40 degrees before the final plunge
came. The passengers retreated into
the stern as the vessel began to tilt
forward. Many hurriedly put on
life belts. Some lost their footing
and fell overheard. Others jumped
overheard, hoping to be able to swim
away from the vessel before she took
her final plunge.
"The Titanic went down bow fore
most, her stern and propellers flying
high into the air The captain and
his officers were seen clinging to the
bridge. AS the leviathan sank be-
meath the ocean a great spout of
water showed that the boilers had
exploded.
There must have been at least 80
explosions in the furnace room as the
sea water reached the fires.
"The authorities at the admiralty
compute the Titanic's position at the
bottom as not less than miles from
the spot where she sank. They say
it must have taken at least 13 min
utes to reach the bottom, and that at
the spot where she now lies the wat
er on the chart is indicated as 2A
miles deep.
THE passengers who were sucked
down by the whirlpool that followed
were suffocated. Those who had at
tached life belts around them will
come to the surface and their bodies
may be recovered"

When Every Man Was an Enemy.

During the medieval period doors
were small and narrow, so that only
one person could pass through at a
time. owing to the universal need for
protection against attack. For this
same reason doorways were some
times set in recess, commanded by
openings through which arrows could
be shot The doors themselves we're
constructed in one piece and not di-
vided from the center. and were fast
ened by strong oak bars, which could
be drawn across from one side to the
other.

strong love for farm life. He became
the owner Of a fruit stand. but the
desire to have farm and bring up
his family OF ten children as the chill

year. In city Of tall buildings and
crowded spaces he could see little
hope OF realizing his ambition He
could not move to the country be-
cause his stand and business was
growing better all the time, and then
there were the wife and the ten little
Muccias to be fed and clothed. Nine
years ago, however, his opportunity
came. and with his family he moved
to the triangle. He cleared away the
rubbish which Uttered the place and
started to cultivate the soil
In a window OF his stand the other
day a sign was displayed informing
passersby that tomatoes fresh from
the farm were for sale, Two Of them
could be had for nickel. They were
the size OF grapefruit, and he pointed
to them with pride. Muccia has a reg

Scientists Charter Yacht to Visit

Characteristics Of Country and Habits
Of Tribes That Live There to Be
Studied for Months by Mem

Philadelphia.-Aboa the Mermaid,
120-foot steam yacht, the members
of the University of Pennsylvania
South American expedition left here
for the Amazon. The yacht will voy-
age by way Of Porto Rico, Barbados
and Trinidad to Para, at the mouth
of the Amazon, and will then steam
up the great river into one of its up
per tributaries, proceeding up the un-
charted stream until the shadows
check her She will then be moored
and serve as headquarters for the ex-
ploring parties. which will use the gas
oline launch and canoes with which
she is equipped in order to reach those
points on the river which are not
navigable by the yacht herself When
the observations shall have been COM
pleted In any given locality the collec'
tons will be assembled on the yacht.
which will then pass on TO the next
tributary to be explored Para or
Manaos will serve as a base Of sup.
plies. according to the region OF the
Amazon basin to which the expedition
directs its attention for the time being.
The main purpose of the expedition
is to study the Indian tribes Of the
Amazon valley, which have not been
studied in detail, and to collect for
the university museum specimens Of
their arts, industries, customs and
modes Of life. Their-songs will be re-
corded on the photograph, and their
dances and various activities will be
reproduced by the moving picture cam
era. Systematic studies will be made
OF the native languages, religious and
social systems and decorative art. In
brief, the expedition seeks to furnish
as complete record as modern meth
DDS can afford of the native life of the
Amazon valley and to illustrate these
studies by adequate collections assem-
bled in the university museum.
The remoteness and seclusion OF
many OF the tribes which will be
studied is indicated by the fact that
such a condition as that reported on
the Putamay river can exist in the
face Of modern civilization and with
out interference from any local gov
eminent.
While the study of native life forms
the main object of the expedition, 9TH
er aspects Of exploration will not be
neglected. A medical Investigator will
accompany the party for the purpose
OF studying beri-beri and other fatal
diseases peculiar to the Amazon re-
gion. and the fora and fauna Of the
country will receive due attention.

English Priests Passed Through
Storm Of Persecution.
Secret Places Where They Were

death. But in spite of that there were
during those times many priests in
England who considered 1t their duty
to brave death rather than cease to
do what they considered their duty.
After the reformation many priests
were concealed in the country houses
of the Catholic nobility and gentry.
Their hiding places were unknown to
all except the master and mistress OF
the house and possibly to one or two
old servants. AS rule, the priests

Chill and wretched must the priest
have found 1t, the daylight visible

the tiles and beneath the drafty caves.
At night he had the bats for company,
