CONGRESS ORDERS
BATTLESHIP SALE
The Mississippi and Idaho
May be Sold TO Greece,

BY vote Of 9411 to 1916, the people
of Reading, Pa, in Pennsylvania first
referendum, defeated the introduction
of a paid fire department, and they
will retain the present volunteer sys-
ten.
Despite the protest of the Turkish
government against the sale of the
ships to the Greek navy, the deal was
authorized. President Wilson and Sec
rotary Daniels are known to favor the
sale.
Secretary Daniels was anxious to
forward the sale, because Greece viii
pay s12,000,00O, which is full cost
price for vessels that are ten years
old. In the ordinary course the two
ships would be consigned to the SCRAP
heap or be used as targets. The score
tary would use the money thus Obtain
ed to pay for building another dread
nought similar to the Wyoming.
1t was understood that Greece has
the money ready to pay for the battle
ships and that the sale can be consum
mated Immediately. The Mississippi is
at the Pensacola navy yard. The
Idaho arrived Saturday at Gibraltar
with the Illinois and Missouri, and il
sold while in the Mediterranean her
crew probably could be transferred tC
the other ships.

WEIRD HOUSE WARMING.
BAD Fer the Old and Helpless Natives
In Dutch New Guinea.

concerning a peculiar custom discov-
cred among the natives Of Dutch New
Guinea. this interesting description is
given by A. F. r. Wollaston in the
Geographical Journal: ION top of the
hrst steep ridge we cane to the first
native dwelling that we had seen in
the country II was a rectangular
wooden structure, raised on piles about
five feet from the ground. A sloping
ladder or two or three poles tied to
gether leads TO a narrow platform.
behind which is the living room about
ten or twelve feet square In the mid.
die Of the floor is square fireplace.
usually lined with sand or small
stones. The walls are made of split
poles placed closely together. and the
roof is made Of the leaves OF pandanus
or Of a palm if any happen to grow in
the neighbOrhood There was a mys-
terry about that first house which we
were never able to solve. II was evil
IDENTITY quite newly built. a small clear
ing had been made about it and a few
banana and dracoenas recently planted
Outside the house were n number
OF men. women and children. the men
occupied in cooking large quantities Of
vans and sweet potatoes and great
Jumps Of pigs flesh. We naturally
supposed that II was a sort Of house
warming. as in one sense It turned
out to be. The men shook their heads
and pointed in a mysterious way to-
ward the house and made the curious
sign which they are accustomed to
make when they talk Of something dis
agreeable. Then they invited rs TO
enter the houSe. where we found an
old man sitting by the fire. He was
diseased and decrepit. hut appeared by
no means likely to die He took n
keen interest in our appearance and
enjoyed the tobacco which we gave
him
when we returned FIVE days later
we found the place utterly deserted
and the house a blackened heap Of
ashes. on the top floor Of which were
lying the charred remains of human
bones. II was impossible for any one
to say FIVE days earlier that the old
man was going TO blended. he must
have lived for months or even years
What we may imagine to have hap
pened was this: That as he was I'M
able to get about any longer and find
his own food. his relations did not in
tend to support him and that the
we saw We're really for
his funeral feast. but we were puzzled
by their having cremated him in a

MADE HIMSELF SAFE.
Young Bessemer Had Cautious as
Well as an Inventive Head.

YOUNG Bessemer Had a Cautious as
Well as an Inventive Head.
The most trivial incidents have often
originated the fortunes Of our richest
men. Take. for example. the fortunes
made out of BeSsemer steel. This
genius. young Bessemer. had some idea
of making steel out Of iron, but a
poor. newly married young man has
no means of experimenting on a large
scale. The story 1 must tell as l heard
it from an intimate friend Of Bessemer
and is a true tale.
After Bessemer had in his small lab
Oratorv experimental with the metals
and at last obtained the desired result
by blowing air through melted iron he
found in the bottom Of the crucible a
little lump Of the famous steel Now
the question was how to make the dis
covery public. He put the lump OF
steel into his pocket and made his way
TO Nasmyth of steam hammer fame.
Placing the metal on Nasmyth's desk.
he told him that he had made this eX-
traordinary discovery. which would
revolutionize the whole metal world.
Then came a little incident which
shows what wonderful heads these
Scotch fnanciers possess. What do
YOU think Nasmyth said to his excited
inventor?
"Eh. mon. it's vary risky to show
your wonderful invention. The world
is vary dishonest
To which the aspiring inventor re-
piled:
Right. Mr.. Nasmyth. I just calcu-
lated who l was coming to see. so with
my last half crown l registered the
invention on my way."-London Strand

Washington Is Hopeful.


No formal answer to the invitation
extended by the American peace COM
missioners at Niagara Falls to the
ConSitutionalist agents for an infor-
nal conference over Mexican peace
plans is expected to be made until CON
fdendal agents of General Carranza
reach Washington.
Seniors Calderon, Breceda and Espi-
Iosa are on the way with special in
auctions from the Constitutionalist
chief. In official quarters it was de-
CARED by one high in authority that
he saw absolutely no clouds now on
The mediation horizon" In administra-
ton circles the hope for ultimate sue
cess Of the peace conference was con-
sldered more promising. This, how
ever was before news dispatches from
New Orleans brought the information
that Carranza would not accept the in
T.tation to an informal conference.
One menace to the success of the
plan, it was pointed out, was the re-
cent breach between Villa and Car
nnza, the Constitutionalist chiefs.
Villa was reported to be determined
to fight his way through to Mexico
City However, plans for the meet
Ing Of the Carranza and Huerta rep
i@entatives do not contemplate an
amistice al this time. Not until they
had reached some definite agreement
over the establishment of a provis-
lo1al government would there be an
attempt TO call a halt to hostilities.
