Cave Has Disappeared

BY fall of cliff near the Grotto Inn
at Marsden, some four miles from South
Shields, what was known as the Snug
glers' Cave has disappeared. A story
is told of noted srnuggler living in
the neighborhood who in former days ar
ranged for a lugger to discharge its
cargo into this cave. AS the time an
preached for signaling the vessel to land
a man who had been long suspected
of treachery was found to be missing.
The smuggler was pounced upon by the
coastguards and. asked why he fired the
gun. He declared that he did it to alarm
some thieves who We're breaking into
his dwelling, and the officers had to be
satisfied with this explanation. The story
goes on to say that the man who gave
information to the authorities was cap
tured by the smugglers and trussed in
a basket hoisted to the top of the cave.
and only lowered once a day to receive
bread and water. His groans gave the
place reputation for being haunted.

New Lock COMPLETED

Completed after four years work, the
new 100000 lock at Portsmouth, which
is to dock superdreadnoughts, has been
unceremoniously opened by the admission
of water. To eliminate the risk of the
floor being burst up by sea pressure. the
lock is built as an inverted arch, and the
concrete is 80 feet. thick in parts. The
building of the lock has been accom-
panied by more than one exciting Incl
dent. Caisson broke adrift when in tow
in the Irish sea, and the lock itself was
once flooded, when blowhole occurred
in the mud beneath the Golfer dam. To
save the inner dam from destruction
thousands of tons of water were admit
ted, and later had to be pumped out when
the blowhole had been plugged with
thick deposits of clay.
Are You a ''Nut?"
At a time when things must be very
vivid If they are to be seen, and very
startling in color and effect if they are
to attract attention, the 1918 nut has
found that to be a truly successful nut
he must come full into vision something
like a sunset. For the nut has a pas
sion for catching the eyes of his fellows
almost as great as his passion for
clothes.
The whole point of being NUT lies in
this: That you look so different from
other people that the other people ap-
preciate the difference and reward you
with a stare, which the nut according
to his knowledge of men. interprets in
terms of either approval or disapproval
Now, it is too often assumed that it is
quite as easy to be nut" once you have
got the clothes. Nothing could be fur
ther from the truth. Providence is not
prodigal of such a gift as this, and
grants to few that dispensation which
allows a man to dress in daring fashion
and still look well to the eye Thus, in
some sense. nuts are born not made.
long line of ancestors stretching far
back into the time of the first bucks
and dandies is behind the real nut of
1873 This quality of nuttiness has come
to him as a heritage which must be
guarded and kept bright. In vain the
men without the destiny of the nut
copy his magnificent attire, paying a
compliment to his originality but fail
ing to approach within many miles of
the sartorial dignity and splendor that
are his by right For strange as It may
seem-and those who watch the nuts
in their new summer clothes this year
will do we'll to note it-true nuts are
not made by clothes alone The nut
must possess the sartorial soul.
