thought to be the guilty party but
it was later shown that no one else
had any connection with the crime
and that Rosa Richardson had plotted
and executed the deed alone.
Sheriff Sallcy OF OrangehuIg, who
was notified Of the crime too late,
reached here this afternoon and view

Richardson was cut down and bnried,
while the victim of the tradcgy was
laid to rest at Gerizim Baptist Church
in the presence OF n large crowd Of
grief stricken friends and relatives.
The community where this crime
was committed is composed of steady,
law abiding citizens, who have always
held themselves against mob violence.
The crime is the second one com
mitted in that community within the
past seven or eight months. Mrs. Sue
c. Cannon, who lived In the Millican
section, several miles away, came near
losing her life some months ago at the
hands Of a negro woman, who has not
yet been apprehended.

First Submarine Boat.

Our modern submarine is the direct
descendant of the diving bell, which
had proved that air could be supplied
for breathing purposes under water.
England can claim priority In this
kind of adventure, although the first
submarine boat on record was the in
vention of Dutchman. Oddly enough,
she was propelled by oars. By com
mand of James l., the trial trip of this
grandparent of submarines was made
on the Thames. The chief secret of
the inventor, Drebell, was described
thus: THE composition of liquid
that would speedily restore to the
troubled air such proportion of vital
parts as would make it again for a
good while fit for respiration" The
secret was never disclosed Plymouth
Sound. near which AT has just gone
down, was the scene of the earliest
submarine disaster, for here it was
that in 1774 a too sanguine expert
menter named Day made a descent in
a vessel of 90 tons-and never came
up again.-London Chronicle.

favorable to flight, and food is likely
to be found where water is abundant,
but these considerations, 1t is now
thought. are only minor factors in the
case.
The determining cause is that bod
les Of water serve to mark the paths
of the fight. Any one who has as
cended to a considerable height in a
balloon is familiar with the fact that
the water courses, as seen from above,
stand out to the view more distinctly
than anything else to be observed
upon the earths surface. II is logical
to suppose, therefore, that the mi
grating bird follows the silver lines
so wildly impressed upon his vision
as long as they lead in the direction
whittier his instinct impels him.
1t is pointed out that as night
flights, or flights above the clouds,
are probably regulated largely by the
sense of hearing, they would naturally
be along the line of the water courses.
Sound travels upward more freely
than in other directions. No sound
is more distinctly heard or heard at
greater distances. and none is so con-
tinuous as the plash of the surf. Grit
feth Brewer. for instance, while in a
balloon, heard the sea breaking on
the French coast at distance of 25
miles from him.
A sound so constant and so distinct
from all others would serve excel
iently to pilot the voyage of creatures
in the darkness overhead, and inves
tigators of bird life conclude that II
is so used by the migratory focks.

Ended French Dream Of Emnlre.

One hundred years ago, while the
allies of the north we're driving back
Napoleon in their advance on Paris,
the British army in the south OF
France defeated the French at the bat
tie of Orthez. The French army en-
gagged In the battle was the only army
of France that remained complete. II
was commanded by the famous Mar
shall Soult. The British were com
manded by Wellington, who. after five
years OF fighting. had driven the
French out of Spain and had now car
rted the war across the border into
France itself. Following the battle OF
Orthez the victorious British entered
the city OF Bordeaux. while the French
retreated to Toulouse. to which place
they were soon followed by Yelling
ton. and again defeated.

WITH THE BREAK OF DAWN
Birth Of New Day 40 Seen and %.
scribed by One Who Had the
Vision Of the Poet.

As we proceeded. the timid approach
Of twilight became more perceptible.
the intense blue Of the sky began to
soften. the smaller stars, like little
children, went first to rest; the sister
beams Of the Pleiades soon melted
together, but the bright consultations
of the west and north remained un.
changed. Steadily the wondrous trans.
dguration went on. Hands of angels
hidden from mortal eyes shifted the
scenery Of the heavens; the glories
of night dissolved into the glories Of
the dawn. The blue sky now turned
more softly gray; the great watch
stars shut up their holy eyes; the east
began to kindle. Faint streaks Of
purple soon blushed along the sky;
the celestial conclave was filed with
the inflowing tides of the morning
light. which came pouring down from
above in one great ocean of radiance.
till at length, as we reached the Blue
hills, a flash of purple fire blazed out
from above the horizon and turned the
dewy teardrops OF flower and leaf into
rubies and diamonds. In few sec.
onds the everlasting gates of the
morning were thrown wide open and
the lord of day, arrayed in glories too
severe for the gaze of man, began his
state.-Everett.
