A DUMMY Of STRAW
BY j. D. SPURGEON.

When Giorgios came to the surface
and was hauled into the boat every.
body could see that something was
wrong with him. No sooner was his
helmet removed than the Greeks face
was convulsed with anger.
my sponge bank!" he shouted
Somebody has been fishing there, by
gar! Three, four, five hoondred dol.
lar worth Of sponges gone. It's An
tonio!"
There had been bad blood for a long
time between Antonio and Giorgios.
At first they had been partners in
their sponge-fishing boat off the east
coast of Florida but they had quar-
relied over pretty Maria Ephousis, and
severed partnership Maria had en-
couraged neither big Giorgios nor
little Antonio, and that made matters
worse, if anything. The men had sep
arate boats now, and often met on the
water. But of late Giorgios had dis.
covered bank of splendid sponges;
and now. contrary to all etiquette, An
tonic had gone there by stealth and
robbed him of his possessions.
The comrades of Giorgios endeav.
ored to point out to him that Antonio
had never been known to violate the
fishermen's unwritten law that, once a
bank is discovered, it belongs to the
discoverer, but without success. Gior.
gios believed that Maria preferred An.
tonic, and he was resolved to have his
revenge.
If I catch him-look out!" he NUT.
tered, and that evening in the little
town, passing Antonio, he lurched
heavily against him and awaited his
enemys onslaught with a scowl. But
Antonio had no mind to take up Gior.
gios' quarrel He eluded him with a
laugh, and went his way.
From that day Giorgios saw in ev.
cry accident conspiracy on the part
of Antonio. If the sponge fishing was
bad Antonio had anticipated him. If
the gear went wrong Antonio had tam
pered with it.
IF he see Antonio he will kill him
now" whispered the youth Kratillis to

INTO THE "vALE OF KASHMIR"
Aerial Subway Many Miles Long Is to
Connect Points in British

Consul Henry D. Baker writes from
Simla, India, that work will be begun
next spring on one of the strangest
undertakings in the world, a great

riers, which have separated the beau.
tiful and famous ''Vale of Kashmir"
from the plains of the Punjab in
northern India. 1t is impossible to
build railway into Kashmir or even
light electric road, because of the
pricipices and landslips that follow
rains. Even the Brennan monorail
system cannot be used there. The
galloway will be constructed in big
spans Of about 800 yards each with
fixed cables upheld by iron pillars or
towers Of lattice work, some of which
will have to be 100 feet high" says Mr..
Baker. "There will be separate Sec
tions every five miles and separate
cables, of course, for outgoing and in.
coming freight, which will be about
11s inches each. From these cables
steel cars will be suspended and con.
veyed, about 80 to every mile, and
holding 375 to 45O pounds each OF
freight. These cars will be carried
over great gorges and precipitous hills,
and in some instances there will be
sheer drop underneath them of 1,2O0
feet.
"The transfer Of cars from section to
section will be automatically accom-.
plished by revolving drums, which will
effect release Of the cars and their
renewed gripping to the hauling ropes
of the next section. On account of
the difficulty Of expansion and con.
traction from heat and cold, the cables
will be equipped with complicated
system Of springs anchored with tre-
mendous weights to ma them Of the
same length all the year round. The
galloway will follow the gorge of the
Jhelum river most of the way. which
it will frequently cross and recross.
accordingly as the spans can be most
conveniently constructed and the
towers be located where there can be
safety against slipping and dangers
from falling boulders.
AT present the chief means of com.
munication in and out of Kashmir is
by read about 200 miles long between
the city of Rawalpindi in northern
Punjab and Srinagar, the capital of
kashmir. This road over the noun.
tains is one of the most remarkable
in the world on account of the engi.
neering difficulties which it presented,
being cut much of the way round huge
precipices, sometimes through solid
rock, and frequently being oyerhung
by huge masses of conglomerate soil
containing great boulders always
liable to fall whenever rain starts to
wash them out"

gios hired to row him to the sponge
grounds.
Il remember there was man in
Athens began the other, and told
him story of similar case and
how it was cured. There is only one
way"
Next day, instead of opposing Gior.
gios, the boys were full of sympathy
for him.
Antonio follows your boat in the
dark because he knows you know
where the sponges are" said Kratillis.
"Ha! But l catch him." snorted
Giorgios. "4And when l do" He
thrust his knife upward.
He put on his helmet and weighted
shoes and descended over the side.
Down he went, down through several
fathoms of blue water, till he stood
upon his feet among the sponges and
strange coral groWths at the bottom of
the sea. To his delight he saw that
the sponges here were unusually fine.
Slowly-for his weighted shoes make
progress slow-he moved from bank
to bank, cutting at the sponges and
thrusting them into the net which he
wore strapped to his diving suit.
All at once he stopped short. There,
some ten PAGES distant, to his amaze
ment, he saw the figure of a man
bending over the sponge bank.
Giorgios stared, and then his hands
twitched convulsiyely. 1t was his en-
emy Here, in the depths of the ocean,
where no man could intervene, An
tonic had deliberately challenged him
to battle. No doubt his boat rested
| above; it must have come up while he
was below, and kratillis and his COM
panion had not had courage to drive
Antonio's vessel away, or to signal to
Giorgios by hauling upon the line.
Giorgios crept toward Antonio. The
latter apparently remained Indifferent
to the death that was imminent-or
perhaps he was crouching to attack
The heavy glass of the helmet and the
| depth of the water did not make 1t
easy to discern what Antonio was
planning. But Giorgios did not care.
His enemy had challenged him, and a
ferocious joy filled his heart.
Giorgios made his way cautiously
toward him, half hidden behind the
clustering sponges-then he sprang at
him and drove his knife into Antonio's s
body to the hilt. The other collapsed
and lay motionless upon the oozy
! bottom of the sea. Giorgios bent over

vania coal fields. Dean E. j. Babcock,
Of the School OF Mines, has worked out
a method whereby the gas Is driven off
this coal and the residue briquetted,
converting what was a low grade fuel
into one nearly equal to anthracite
can be converted into electric power
for operating and lighting Il manufac-
turing plant. In this most satisfactory
manner then, is the question of suit
able power answered.. The Ignite gas
also meets all requirements in regard
to fuel for burning the clay product,
AS tho high grade clays are generally
closely associated with the coal depos-
its, we of North Dakota have IN ex-
ceptionally fine combination Of raw
material, power for operating and fuel
for burning our ceramic products and
thus three of the determining factors

In regard to available market, lei
me quote from a recent bulletin ISSUED
by the Bureau of Mines. According
to statistics complied by the United
States Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic
| Commerce, there were imported into
the United States during the twelve
months ending June 80, 1912, china and

were brought in to be manufactured
into various forms OF, white ware

There Is no reason why the United

been brought out, ideal conditions pre-
vail, for the growth of the clay indus
try OF this state and our highest grade
cllys are suitable to the manufacture
Of products which can stand any

But for this matter, there Is a mar.
