ROMANTIC QUEST BY WILL.
Student Must Find Unknown Isles
and Pearl Treasure.

A search for treasure in Southern
waters will shortly be undertaken by
Roland P. Kelly, a Harvard junior,
in compliance with the terms of the
will of his grandfather, T. L. Kelly.
The will provides that young Kelly
should have the savings of his grand
fathers SO years of trading as ship
master in the Far East on condition
that before his 21st birthday he
should attempt to locate pearl fisher
les in an estuary of the Amazon river
and two unchartered islands in the
Pacific. These islands, according to
the will, were found by the old ma
riner to contain large amount OF
gold and were discovered when he
was in search of fresh water on one
Of his voyages. The pearls were seen
en- another voyage.-Boston dispatch

TWO MORE GOOD JOBS, MAYBE.
This State May Get Special Income
Tax Collectors.

Washington, October 22.-Internal
Revenue Commissioner Osborne to-
day said that two of the special IN
come tax collectors, who have been
authorized by Congress under the
Underwood-Simmons law, would
probably be assigned to South Caro-
lima. The places pay close to $4,000
year and are not subject to the
civil service.
AS these special collectors are un-
der the collector for the State, it is
presumed that his recommendations
will have considerable weight in their
selection, though political endorse
ments will by no means be ignored.
1t is thought that the appointments
will be made within the next month
or six weeks.

ELIJAH'S STORY PROVED.
California RedwoOdS Index to Past
Climatic Conditions.

The discovery that the big trees Of
California are an index to climatic
conditions almost from the beginning
of time has just been announced by
Ellsworth Huntington, a government
scientist, in publication entitled The
Secret of the Big Trees.
In the growth rings of the big
trees, the Sequoia Washingtonians,
Mr.. Huntington finds evidence that
California suffered from the same
drouth that ended in Asia Minor
when the prophet Elijah prayed for
rain $40 years before Christ.
Famine afflicted Palestine in the
days of Elijah, according to the Bib
lical story. No rain fell, the brooks
ran dry, and distress was prevalent
all over the land. King Ahab sent
for Obadiah and commanded him
to go through the land, unto all the
fountains of water and unto all the
brooks; peradventure we may find
grass and save the horses and mules
alive, that we lose not all the beasts. -
Obadiah met Elijah on his journey
and escorted the latter to King Ahab.
Elijah prayed for rain and the famine
was stopped. From this famine, $40
years before Christ, to the Sierra Ne
vada mountains seems a long cry,
but Mr.. Huntington claims he has
bridged the distance by growth
curves on the trees.
The curves begin with the epoch
of the Trojan war, about 1900 B. &.
There both curves dip very low, indi-
eating an epoch of sudden and severe
dessication. That particular period,
historians tell us, was one of the
most chaotic in all history.
The famine in the days of Elijah
appears in both curves. Apparently
at that time the climate did not be-
come extremely dry, nothing like so
bad as it had been a few hundred
years earlier during the 18th century,
but there was rather a distinct fall
ing off in the amount of rainfall, as
compared with the uncommonly good
conditions of the preceding century.
About 700 years before Christ both
curves stand high in the day when the
Greeks we're laying the foundation o.
their future greatness and the en-
pires of Mesopotamia were at their
height. Then comes pronounced
falling off, with a recovery 300 or
400 years before Christ. anothe: de-
cline eliminating reaching high
point so B. C.
The time of Christ, the great era
Of universal peace under the sway OF
Rome, was apparently an epoch Of
favorable climate, time of abund-
ant rain and consequent good crops
in all the countries around the Medit-
erranean sea and eastward in Asia,
as we'll as in California. Next comes
p long period of decline eliminating
six or seven centuries after the time
of Christ. No period in all history,
save that which centres about 1900
Is. c., was more chaotic, and that
early period also appears to have
been a time of greatly diminished
rainfall-KanSa City Star.

grown here.
Wednesday morning his hrst trial
was made on the oyster grounds OF

Considerable talk is being heard of
the proba bility of the Petersburg
Grays dishanding. The terms of en-

the company are expiring, ana few
are re-enlisting. An officer OF the
company stated yesterday that one
reason the men would not re-enlist
was that they were without an arm
Dry. and their present quarters were
so uncomfortable. the men hated to

seems. DO not approve of State mill
tin, or consider Petersburg too poor
financially to afford an armory. The
question has been agitated number
of times during the past few years,
but II either dies in the street or
the council chamber. The armories
in several towns in the State, with
less than one-fourth of Petersburg's
population. would look like a palace
by the side of the Grays quarters.
Friends OF the organization are con-
sidering plans to induce the council
to appropriate $4,000 or 100000 for
the purpose Of erecting an armory.
