BLOND ESKIMOS LONG KNOWN
Old Revenue Cutter Captain Says
Stories of Burning Mountain
Were Laughed At.

Tacoma, Wash.-Captain Francis
Tuttle of the revenue service, retired,
says that for thirty years or more
stories of Stefanssons blond Eskimo
tribe have been told by old-time
whalers who we're sometimes driven
into Bankland by ice foes. Whalers
were laughed at when they described
Eskimos with red hair seen in the far
north.
In the early nineties Captain Tut
tie, commanding the cutter Bear, met
the whaler Ballene, commanded by
Captain Bert Williams, now residing
at Irondale. Williams told Tuttle of
strange tribe in Bankland which
came out to the whaler. Some OF
them went aboard. Williams could
not understand their language and
learned little about them. From his
winter quarters Williams could see
a burning mountain of coal. The ma
tives led him to a place where he OBJ
tanned enough coal to supply his YES
sci that winter By signs they made
Williams understand that the great
mountain had been burning for 200
years. Captain Tuttle believes Will
liams is the man of whom one tribe
told Stefansson.
During his thirty years of service
on the Alaskan coast Captain Tuttle
heard of blond tribes from other
whalers. but the stories were general
ly given little credence,

CapitoPs Pied Piper Has TwO-Year Contract

THE proudest boast OF Prof. Louis

tract with the government. as we'll as
contract to supply his chemicals to

The professor has simple method
of his own for getting rid Of rats. He
does not let them die in their holes or
in the building. He leads them cut,
like the Pied Piper of Hamelin. and in
duces them to die outside their hiding
places He first attracts the attention
OF the rats by giving them something
they like. As soon as q few find the
choice food. they communicate the
fact to the whole rat colony,
Then he gives them some more, to
make sure they have all got bite of

is to feed them the accustomed bait

TELLS OF HORRORS
UNCOVER ANCIENT CEMETERY
ExcaVating for Wine Cellar an ltal-
ian Makes a Discovery Of His
torloai Value.

Rome.-An ancient Christian GENE
terry has accidentally been discovered
in the neighborhood of the remains OF
the Church of the Holy Apostles mt
Spoleto, in the province of Perugia.
The church, one of the first Christian
temples erected in that part OF Italy
contained the bones of many who suf-
fered martyrdom under the Flavian
emperors, but had not been used as
a place of burial for more than Is cen
turtles.
Since modern times, having been
little more than a ruin, it passed as
private property into the family of
the Sinibaldi, of whom the present
head, the Italian deputy of that name,
decided to enlarge the extensive
basement for use as a cellar for stor-
ing wine, he being a wine grower on
a large scale. Excavations had hard
ly begun a few days ago, when one Of
the workmen struck a solid block Of
stone about three feet below the sur
face, and this proved to be the cover
of al ancient sarcophagus of unusual
size.
Twenty-one sarcophagi with massive
covers in monolith were unearthed,
all belonging to the third OF fourth
century, A. D. They were opened in
the presence Of a group Of public Of
ficials and archaeologists from differ
ent parts of Italy, and each was found
to contain a skeleton in perfect state
of preservation.

Must Kill Rats to Get Rid Of Plague Danger

/ 1t would be preferable to resort to the
more rapid means of passive immuniz.
alton by the use of anti-plague serum
either alone or in connection with In.
oculation. Workers in plague labora.
tories and hospitals, rat catchers. fu.
migators, etc, should be inoculated at
least once every six months.
The use Of anti-plague serum for
the immunization Of whole commu.
nifty is altogether impracticable, be.
cause of its excessive cost, the limit
ed supply available, the short duration
of the immunity conferred, and the ex.
cessive discomfort and actual danger
accompanying the repeated admins
tration OF serum at such intervals as
would be necessary to maintain i'm.
munity.
The governments conclusions indi.
cate that If the country is to be kept
free from plague next summer, the
work of rat determination must be
carried on increasingly, regardless OF
the cold weather
incubation consists in injecting into
person o solution Of killed or attenu
ated living plague bacilli. Passive i'm.

GIRL ON TRIAL WINS SUIT0R
Pays Fine of Girl Convicted Of Theft,
Proposes Marriage and is
Accepted.

New York-Eva Rioux, the demure
French-Canadian girl who spent four
strenuous days in the superior court
at Bridgeport defending herself
against charge of theft preferred
by Mrs. C. E. Page of New York and
Sound Beach, is to become a bride
within a week or so.
Her trial resulted in a fine being
imposed A man who is said to be
the owner Of two Connecticut the
aters and who listened to all Of the
evidence, paid her fine and then pro-
posed marriage His name is not di-
vulged. He Is forty-five and bach
elor.
Miss Eva was all smiles when SEEK
in the office Of Mrs. 7. Carnello, who
had befriended her at the time OF the
trial.
"Ooui," she replied to the question
whether she was to be married. Then
in broken English she expressed pleas
ure, saying she had written home to
get her parents consent, and If they
agreed the marriage would take place
at once. The man who is to marry
her has already taken steps to reopen
the case in the superior court and
have Miss Evas reputation cleared.

THE government experts, after study
i ing 100000 serum inoculations
and 100000 plague deaths in India, an
nounce their conclusions as follows in
regard to combating that disease in
America:
The eradication of rats is the all-im-
portant thing.
incubation of human beings con-
fers a certain degree Of immunity
against plague for few months only
by reducing the chance of contracting
the infection and still further reduc-
ing the chances of deaths therefrom
incubation is not eradication.
Situations demanding the inocula-
tIon of the people in mass may again
be encountered in some countries, but
could hardly arise in American com
munities. Even in groups of people
who have been intimately exposed to
plague infection incubation Is of
doubtful applicability. In such case

the poison is to make the rat so warm
inside that it rushes into the air and

until it drops dead.
The rat-kiler's advice to amateurs
at his art is: Never tackle a/rat in
a closed room. Open door or a win
dow. The rat fears man more than It
does a cat. A rat will not bite except
in self-defense. Corner a rat, and II
there is a door or a window it will
Jump for it; close all exits, and 1t will
jump for you. but only as a last resort
There is no bite worse than that of a
rat. 1t carries infection of the dead
liest kind. If you were in bed and a
rat should jump on it, all that is nee.
essary for you to do is, to raise your
hand. The rat will run away, and will
not return. But do not attempt to
strike it,"

Terrible Experience of Wrecked
Party Is Revealed.
Woman and Child in open Boat With
Crew In Ice OF Cape Horn-sev-
enteen Men Lose Their Lives
in the Disaster

London.-The terrible experience OF
party Of shipwrecked sailors who
spent a week in an open boat in the
icy neighborhood of Cape Horn are
described in a letter which has just
been received from Port Stanley,
Falkland islands. The men we're ac-
companied by the captains wife and
child, and no fewer than six of the
original occupants of the boat sue.
cumbed to cold and exposure before
the exhausted survivors reached the
Falkland islands.
Al the same time comes the news
that Captain Thomas, his wife and
child and three sailors reached Liver
pool on the Pacific liner Orepesa.
During a storm which broke sud
denly the large sailing ship Criccieth
Castle, belonging to Carnarvon. met
with disaster off Cape Horn. The rud-
der post gave way and the rudder
damaged the sternpost so much that
the vessel was filling with water. The
captain, Robert Thomas, his wife and
son (aged four years., the second Of
fcer and 13 of the crew left the ship
IN the large lifeboat while the first
and third officers and five Of the crew
left in smaller boat.
The experience Of the former party
curing the first night in the open
boat was terrible, the captain describ-
ing 1t as the worst he had known dur
ing the % years OF his seafaring life.
That night, the captain thinks the
second boat must have been swamped,
as nothing was seen of it afterward.
Captain Thomas was washed out OF
the lifeboat, but was saved by his
wife, who caught him by his clothing
enabling two of the men to pull him
aboard Three of the men died dur
ing the night and they we're followed
by three others before the survivors
reached land. seven days later.
Those who know any thing of the
icy region around Cape Horn in win
ter can imagine the sufferings OF the
unfortunate people who were for sew
en- days in an open boat, which, more
over, was leaking badly as the result
of striking the ships side while 1t
was being lowered.
On the second day Finn. French
cook and a Japanese died; on the
third day a German and an English
man died, and on the morning of the
fourth day those who remained were
Mortified to find that during the night
another man, Welshman, had died.
BY the fourth day nearly all who re-
NAMED were frostbitten. All suffered
agonies. Then the water supply gave
out. So exhausted were they that no
one seemed to care what happened to
him
All hope of rescue seemed to van
ish, but on the seventh day an out
living island in the Falklands was
sighted. Fire was lighted as soon as
they landed and the survivors were
able to enjoy drink Of melted snow.
But the relief afforded by the islet
was only short lived, and the party
put out to sea again IN the hope Of
finding an inhabited island.
This quest was attended by misfor-
tunes, and the boat was blown out
to sea and beyond sight of land. Ulti-
mately Port Stanley was reached. AL
together II men perished.
