GRAVEST0NE OF OLD ATHENS
Metropolitan Museum at Boston Has
Recently Acquired Rare Art
Treasure.

One of the most important of the
tural acquisitions is an Athenian
gravestone In the form of a large
vase. The museums collection of
Greek sculptures includes a number
of gravestones of various types, such
as the simple slab decorated with a
relief or painting and surmounted by
a decorated final, or the more monu-
mental type In which the sculptured
slab is recessed between two plas-
tiers in the form shrine, or the slab
without relief decoration terminating
above In an akroterion. This vase is
the first example of another form
which became very common during
the fourth century B. c., its origin
being derived from the custom of
placing terra Gotta vases on the
tombs as offering to the dead. This
specimen is In the form of a leky.

ing scene in relief representing a
man and woman clasping hands and
a seated woman holding out a bird
to a little girl. 1t may be assumed
that the monument was raised to the
memory Of woman, who is here
shown in two aspects-in her relation
to her husband, to whom she is bid
ding farewell, and in her relation to
her child, with whom she is playing
These two simple scenes are typical
of the subjects chosen by the Greek
artists for tomb representation; they
show the dead woman as she was in
her everyday life, with only a note OF
parting introduced by a handclasp
and with no suggestion of grief ex
cept in the quiet pathos which per
vades the scene-Boston Transcript

GOOD ON LAND OR WATER
New Cycle Something That Has Been
Sought by Inventors for a Num-
Der Of Years.

France held not long ago a water
gala, in which was competition for
land and water cycles, but these ma
chimes could not be used on water un-
til they were partly dismantled. 1t
has been left to an Englishman, H. G.
Belbin, a Battersea workingman, to
invent machine that can be riddan
on land as we'll as water without any
adjustment 1t is supported in the
water by two hollow wooden floats.
treated inside with tar to render them
waterproof, which are adjusted by
means of ribs fastened to horizontal
bar on the frame, just far enough
apart to allow Of free pedaling move
ment. and high enough to keep clear
of the ground when being ridden on
land.
The driving power is supplied as
on an ordinary cycle for land riding,
and on water by an endless chain run
ming over the driving wheel and on
to a projecting framework to a gear
ing which drives a small two-bladed
propeller.
The steering is controlled by a
shaped piece of metal fastened to the
front forks, one rib on each side Of
the front wheel. Recent demonstra-
lions have proved that the machine
is perfectly safe and tractable on both
land and water. H. G. Belbin cannot
swim a stroke, but he was SO conf
dent of the success of his machine
that he crossed and recrossed the
Thames.

Continuous Panorama Machine.

A machine has been invented which
throws a continuous panorama COM
pletely around the inner surface of a
cylindrical screen SO that an OBJ
server standing at the center of the
space inclosed by the screen will have
the same view that he would have If
standing in the midst of the actual
scenes depicted. A number of partly
successful attempts to accomplish this
have been made by using several syn
chronized machines, but 1t has at last
been done by the use Of only one ma
chine, and that of the simplest nature.
The apparatus with which the pictures
are made works much after the fash
ion Of an ordinary panorama machine
except that the casing carrying the
lens and film makes vertical axis
at such high rate Of speed that the
image on any part of the screen
changes 30 rapidly, as with an ordin-
airy motion picture machine, that the
eye Is unable to detect the break be-
tween successive pictures.

African coeoa slaves.

Speaking before large meeting in
London recently. Rev. ]. H Harris
said that the cocoa supplied by Por-
tuguese West Africa is being produced
at a cost of human suffering probably
without parallel today in the African
continent. For years his society had
made unofficial allegations to this ef-
feet, but now they have statistics show
ing that during the last 80 years there
had been shipped from the ports to the
islands 10000 men, women and chill
dren, who persisted in the long march
through tropical regions.
The society had said that these ma
tive laborers we're secured under the
most horrible conditions of the slave
trade, and further, that when on the
islands they were kept in bondage
from which there was no escape, de-
spite passionate appeals to be allowed
to return to their homes In central
Africa. The society had abundant evil
dence of slavery conditions.

One hundred years ago the British
abandoned the expedition against Bal
timore and withdrew their forces. In
the battle at North Point they had lost
their commander, General Ross. In
the attack by sea they had bombarded
Fort McHenry "a hours, throwing
nearly two thousand shells. Yet, al
most incredible as 1t may appear, only
four of the Americans were killed. and
a few others wounded. The morning
after the bombardment the feet. after
taking on board the remnant Of the
land forces, sailed suddenly away, and
left Baltimore safe. Soon afterward
the greater part of the feet and the
soldiery left Chesapeake bay and
moved southwark, to take part in the
operations along the gulf coast. that

the invaders at New Orleans early
In January.

Rich Fortunes From PrIyateerIna

A century ago such situation as
the present would have set merchants
all agog to secure letters of marque
for their vessels. 1t was license
from the crown authorizing a private
ship to wage war against and to cap

those days of wooden walls we'll

almost a match for a frigate, but the
aim of the privateer was to ravage
the enemy's commerce. A lucrative
pursuit it was, too In one year Capt.
Fortunatus Wright captured 16 ships
worth 100000 pounds, while from one
cruise in the Spanish main the priva-
teer Prince Frederick returned to
Bristol with three-quarters of a million
pounds in bar silver alone and other
valuable cargo.

HABIT raacED TO AzTEcS
chewers, as the World Seems to
Have Believed.

The Aztecs of Mexico are said to
have been the first gum chewers
known In this, or, for that matter. any
other, continent The followers OF
Cortez reported that the Indians
chewed gum to Quench thirst and
relieve exhaustion. They obtained
1t from the sapote tree by tapping.
and today the manner of gathering
the sap Ia In close analogy to the
process Of gathering maple sugar In
New England. The tree is Indigenous
to the northern countries Of South
America. Central America and espe-
cially In Mexico, the last named fur
nishing about six-sevenths Of the en-
tire supply consumed annually In the
Unite States.
The sapote tree Is usually found In
groups, frequently grows to height
Of 40 to 50 feet, is generally very
straight. and has a long. clear length
which makes 1t most desirable for tim
Der. The wood is of a reddish ma
hogany color, is quite hard, heavy,
compact In texture and fine grained.
Door stills and frames of this remark,
able wood have been unearthed in
the prehistoric ruins of Uxmal and
found to be in an excellent state of
preservation. The wood Ia in de-
mand today by cabinet makers, who
employ 1t In the manufacture of high
grade furniture and household fittings.
The fruit. the sapodilla pear. was once
very popular in Latin-American mar
kets, but the constant demand for the
gum and the consequent tapping 80
reduced the size and quality Of the
fruit that it has become almost a
negligible product. Throughout the
rainy season, while the sap is up.
the tapping is done by the "chicleros. .
whose only implements are q machets
and q piece OF rope.
The rope Is fastened about the
waist and slipped around q tree, lsev-
ing the chiclero,s hands frea to make
tia v-shaped incisions spirally all
around the tree. The sap runs sJong
the incisions and is collected In cups
at the base. It looks like milk at

The crew of the oil steamer Cali
fornia were happy on reaching port
because they had captured a whale
and found ambergris worth $1,000.
A school Of playful whales followed
the vessel up the coast. and, having
nothing else to do the crew tried to
capture one bull in the wake Of the
ship. There was no harpoon aboard.
so they fashioned one out of the sto-
ker's poker that resembled crowbar.
After many attempts they landed a
whale by harpooning from the stern.
When the carcass was hauled aboard
the sight of ambergris almost caused

Many military experts have a pro-
found admiration for the Russian sol
der, whose very lack Of Imagination
and education makes him tenacious
and fearless, devoid of class ambitions
and sensitiveness. The Slav mind,
quick though it be to make plans and
estimates, is slow in interpreting them
into action and movement, SO that the
average Russian moujik may be sent
to certain death or led to victory
with equal lack Of interest In the
event in which he is but an inanimate
pawn. Nevertheless. he is a fine fight
ing machine, and is well equipped.

EFFECTS OF WAR.
Restaurant Man in New York Says
Patrons Carry Sugar Home.

The high cost of living has laid its
hand on the much prosecuted shoul-
der of the restaurant man, and that
individual has been forced to shout
"assistance!" says the New York Tel
egraph.
what am I going to do?" inquired
one, and then the reason Tor his
moan came in a plaintive key.
81 love my patrons but friendship
and platonic affection ceases when
thew begin to take all the sugar l
have. The other day ! took an IN
ventorv of the stock of this estab-
lishment and found that my patrons
were using fifteen and eighteen
Jumps of sugar to every cup OF cot-
fee or tea that was consumed. l
knew that could not be true, and l
put a watch on my help thinking
that some one was stealing the sugar
I saw none of my help go near the
barrel, while the sugar continued 10
90 at the same rate.
$50 I watched my customers Many
of them never used sugar in their
coffee or tea before this war, and now
they dig into the bowl and take out
a large hand full of the Jumps. 10
you think they put any into thelf
coffee or tea? No they put the Jumps
into their pockets and take them
home.
+" The war and the high cost OF llT-
ing are responsible. People taking
