MAKES AIM ALMOST CERTAIN
Invention Said 10 Guarantee Every
Shot a Bullseye, Even In
the Dark.


Charles Pechard. a police official OF
Paris. has invented an attachment
that enables one to shoot u revolver
more accurately In the dark than In
broad daylight, the New York indie
pendent states.
This attachment consists Of a metal.
lie tube with n lens at one end and A
tiny electric lamp at the other. by
means of mirrors the light Is directed
out through the lens as Il slender cone.
and Is sufficiently strong at a distance
of some four rods for all practical pur-
poses. In the middle OF the illumina.
ted field there Is a small dark spot
which comedies with the line OF the
bullets flight. This enables the ineS.
perienced shooter TO hit n selected
part OF the burglars anatomy with
more certainty than he could display
In ordinary target practice.
The electric current Is supplied By q
small dry battery or Il storage battery,
which the officer can carry in his
pocket or which the defender Of the
home can place under his pillow. The
light tube can be attached TO an Ordi.
nary pistol, and II may BE- used as q
fash with peaceful intent or merely
as a show of force.

New York.-Prof. Howard Crosby
Butler. head OF the archaeological de-
partment of Princeton university. has
attained remarkable results In his ex.
petitions to Sardes In Asia Minor. He
and his stan OF assistants, one OF
whom Is DR.. Emo Llttmann of the
University OF Strasburg, have com
pletely unearthed and to a large ex.
tent restored the ancient Temple OF
Artemis. The inscriptions on the
walls leave no doubt that II was built
early In the fourth century u. c.. on
the site OF what was then the city OF
Lydia.
But even nor valuable than the
discovery of the temple is the unearth.
Ing of b%ilingual inscriptions in Lyd!an
and Aramaic. which makes the first
considerable advance toward decipher-
ing the unknown Lydian language.
This Is considered by ar~chaeologists
and classical llnguists all over the
world as n Of the most important ad.
ditions to the dead languages ever
made.
The monument containing the text
OF this unknown language was dis.
covered and excavated among some
tombs not far from the temple and
near the river Pactolus. the gold bear

TRANSPORTS At
GALVESTON DOCKS
Rumored They Will Return to Vera
Cruz This Week With More
United States Soldiers.

Galveston, Tex. May Elm spite
of reports which have gone out of Gal
weston to the contrary, the four army
transports which arrived yesterday
from Vera Cruz are lying peacefully
and quietly at the docks and are
making no preparations for departure.
Supplies for the crew, such as are
necessary to be carried at all times,
and such as have been on board for
the past year or more, are being taken
on, but no munitions or extra sup
plies, such as would be needed in the
event of movement of troops, are be-
ing loaded, nor have orders issued
that they shall be.
The arbitration affair, which is be-
ing conducted by the emissaries of
the South American Republics, has
placed in extreme doubt the probabili-
ty of any further movement of troops
out of Galveston. General Funston
and the War Department are insist
ing that the remaining uits of the re-
inforced Fifth Brigade be sent to Vera
Cruz, but the State Department has
refused so far to provide the trans
portation. 1t is a known fact that
only a part of the cavalry has been
sent to Mexico, and that there are
several minor organizations belonging
to the brigade which are still waiting
for orders to join the main body.
Report Of Movement Heard.
A report was received, without any
official confirmation, that the Fourth
and Sixth Brigades will be sent to

CROWDS INCREASE At
METHODIST REVIVAL
Large Crowd Heard Evangelist Price
at Alrdome Last NIoht-Big
Choir Organized.

The service of the Methodist revival
at the airdome last night was real
inspiration to the large crowd that
was present. The big choir platform
was completed during the day and 1t
was occupied by about forty singers
last night. Just to the left OF the big
chorus another section has been re-
served for a junior choir and there
were about thirty voices In this choir
last night The prospects for some
really great chorus singing are bright
Mr.. McCleskey knows how to handle
great choir and how to get the most
out OF them.
Mr.. Prices sermon last night was
on the subject, ''The Service That
Counts" and he chose for his text
the challenge of David to the people
of Israel for offerings with which to
complete the temple. THE service
that counts" he said lis an offered
service. 1t is also a willing service
and a prompt service. 1t Is moreover
service unto the Lord. not unto the
church nor to any man." 1t was
strong appeal for Christian consecra.
tion and for concentration of effort
In Gods service.
At 10 this morning Mr.. Price spoke
on "The Spirit Filled Life" and to-
night will continue the same discus
sion. He said last night that he was
especially anxious to have the Chris.
tians Of Bryan to hear these sermons
on this vital subject The sermon this
morning was great blessing to all
who heard 1t.

Vera Cruz the latter part of the week.
but this statement, coming from un-
authentic sources, is discredited be-
cause it is unlikely that troops will be
sent during the continuance of the
armistice.
While none of the army officials
here are willing to give expression to
sentiments that might be Ill received
at Washington, it is easy to gather
from casual remarks that the delay
attendant upon the arbitration pact is
considered a fatal error, and that it
will mean much greater danger for
the troops than If they had advanced
at once into the interior Of Mexico.
There is not much doubt in the minds
of army officers that the United States
will have to extend the work started
by the occupation OF Vera Cruz, and
they state that the present delay is
initiating against our forces. in that
it gives he Mexicans opportunity to
organize, to mine harbors and rail-
roads and otherwise prepare for an
American invasion.
To Return to Tampico.
The steamship Atlantis sailed yes.
terday for Tampico bearing seventy
returning oil men to their homes in
the oil fields of Mexico. There is
great doubt as to whether the party
will be allowed to land at Tampico.
but those who took passage assumed
this risk on account of the anxiety felt
for their properties. The vessel was
chartered by three corporations, the
Aguila Oil Company. the North Ameri-
can Dredging Company and the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company. Arrange .
ment was made to land the party at
Vera Cruz in case it was found Inn
possible to disembark at Tampico.
