NUB|AN IBEX HUNT.
Animal Hard to Find in Crags
That Form Home.
Takes Vast Amount of Effort to Move
Them as They Rely for Safety
More on conceaIment Than
Flight.

London.-All those who have jour
neyed through the Red Sea can hardly
have failed to notice the desolate red
hills that seem to rise almost directly
from the water close to the southwest
of Suez, and will very likely have re-
marked on the preference of a long
drink and deck chair to a scramble
on their sun-scorched slopes. These
same hills run in an unbroken chain
parallel to the coast, through Egypt
and the Red Sea Province of the Su-
dan right down to Eritrea. The chief
inhabitants of this desolate region are
the wild native tribes and the Nubian
ibex (Capra nubiana typical. 1t was
to obtain specimens of the latter that
| journeyed out to Port Sudan in Feb
ruary, 1913, writes ]. H. Miller. Four
days northwards by camel brought us
to district known as Erba, where
ibex we're said to be very plentiful.
The only method OF hunting known to
the shaggy headed locals is driving.
and it must be admitted that this un-
skillful form, SO foreign to the heart
Of the true hunter, is in this case the
most likely to lead to success. The
reason of this is that, unlike the ibex
of the Himalayas and Central Asia,
which can be easily found at any hour
of the day, the Nubian ibex, to escape
the heat, lies up during the whole of
fhn dow ho hNIac {t,
the rock, and even when feeding, ow-
ing to Its small size (height at shoul-
der 2S to 30 inches) and protective
coloring, is exceedingly difficult to find
among the turmoil Of wind-worn crags
that form its home. Having obtained
the services of some 80 of the local
tribesmen, the morning after my ar
rival started before dawn to climb to
a commanding position known to the
two men who accompanied me. Look
ing back we could see the beaters
starting off, I'm small parties, to take
up their positions for drive. Having
taken up position that allowed of a
clear field of fire over a hillside
streaked with many goat tracks, was
at liberty to regain my breath and en-
Joy the sunrise. All round us was a
medley of rugged red granite peaks
divided by deep cut wadis There is
no running water in this region, but
here and there in dark gorges, where
the sun never reaches, are large pools
which are replenished by the yearly
rains. In these gullies and on the

The Dutch government Immediately
took steps to inquire Of the German
and Belgian governments whether any
flying men of their armies were re-
sponsible for the unpleasant surprise.
The sequel developed the next day
when the British press bureau an
nounced raid by British aviators
aimed at the Zeppelin establishments
in Dusseldorf and Cologne.
The British aerial expedition start
ed for Antwerp, and while the section
bound for Dusseldorf reached its des-
tination. the Cologne contingent con-
fessed that it lost it's way in the fog.
The British minister at The Hague
today expressed the regret of the
British government of the incident,
says dispatch from that capital He
explained that the bomb was dropped
accidentally by an aeroplane which
had lost its bearings There is no in
formation whether the Dutch govern
ment will consider the regrets and ex-
PLANTATION adequate in diplomatic
phrases to close the incident.

From my lofty position the sea was
just visible far to the east. Distant
shouting informed us that the drive
had commenced, and here and there
figures we're visible on the sky line.
1t takes lot to move these ibex. who
ment than fight. Not till large boul-
ders have been hurled down almost
on to the top of them will they leave
their strongholds and make for less
disturbed locality. As the shouting
and rattle of falling boulders ap-
preached, several herds of goats began
to appear and disappear. Some broke
back and others attempted to escape
on either flank, but the latter were
generally turned in my direction by
men skillfully posted for that purpose.
Quite one hundred and fifty ibex must
have passed me on this occasion in
herds of from five to thirty, but there
was not a single really big head
among the lot. In spite Of the urgent
entreaties of my companions, I only
shot one buck with horns of 80 inches.
Having become somewhat tired of
this lazy form of hunting, which is not
of absorbing interest, and having shot
three out of the four specimens al
lowed on the license, l paid off the
beaters and journeyed southwards In
search of really big head. As luck
would have it. the very first evening
on the new ground, while camp was

DROPPED A BOMB ON
DUTCH BY MISTAKE
ENGLISH GOVERNMENT COM
PEELED TO APOLOGIZE
FOR ITS AIRMEN

London, Sept 25 (By mail to the
Associated Press) People of the
quiet Dutch city of Maestricht, which
lies on a sort of peninsula bounded
on the west by Belgium and on the
east by Germany, have been striving
hard to maintain the neutrality of
the kingdom. They were startled on
Tuesday morning, September %, by
the descent of bomb from the mist
overhead and a great explosion, fol-
lowed by the crash of glass.
An aeroplane had swooped down
towards the roofs of the town and
dropped bomb. The proiectile fell
near the Brussels gate of the old
town, tore limbs from trees, ripped
eashes in the walls of a house and
shattered number of windows.
Several citizens attempted to fol-
low the course of the aeroplane in
motor cars but it soon was lost to
sight.

for World Film corporation by the
Peerless Feature company of New

lalt (these scenes were taken there)
and closes in the east-Newport and
New York City. 1t is markedly a pic
ture of vigorous action which rings
true through nearly all of the picture
surely, and surely every part of it
holds the interest strongly The best
part of the story is the adventures of
the two lovers in a flood A terrible
storm has driven the girl into the hut
of miner Jim, owner of the Nellie
Davis mine, property worth millions
and which the trust, of which Alice's
father is one of the leading spirits,
wants to get cheaply. The dam above
the hut breaks, the water washes
down the valley, and the hut goes with
the rest of the primitive buildings.
The hut's heavy door serves Jim and
Alice as a raft. The stream washes
them furiously along toward a terrible
fall. Every inch of film during this
episode holds as tight as a black
smiths wise.
The trust fails to force jim to sell
his mine. 1t becomes a big success
ard Jim with his partner are in Ntw
York where, backed by the resources
of the mine, they are doing a banking
business. But the vindfctive and wiley

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucus lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; niae
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing hut an in
flammed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Mothers Friend
Before Baby Arrives

During several weeks of expectancy
there is splendid external embrocation
in our Mothers Friend in which
thousands of women have the most
unbounded confidence. They have used
1t and know. They tell of it's wonderful
influence to ease the abdominal muscles
and how they avoided those dreaded
stretching pains that are SO much talked
about. This safe external application is
gently used over the skin to render 1t
amenable to the natural stretching which
1t undergoes. The myriad OF nerve
threads just beneath the skin is thus
relieved Of unnecessary pain-producing
causes and great physical relief is the
result as expressed by a host Of happy
mothers who write from personal
experience.
1t is a subject that all women should
be familiar with as Mothers FRIEND
has been in use many years, has been
given the most severe tests under most
all trying conditions and is recommended
by women who to-day are grandmothers
and who in their earlier years learned
to rely upon this splendid aid to women.
Mothers Friend" is declared by a
multitude Of women to be just what ex-
peetant motherhood requires.
You can obtain Mothers Friend" at
almost any 6rug store. Get a bottle

work of art that it's great fame was
attributed It's history was, however,
most picturesque and its antiquity
was never disputed even when its mer-
its as work of art began to be ques.
toned.
When in 1101 the crusaders under
Baldwin / penetrated the mosque of
Cesarea, the ancient temple Of Herod,
they found wonderful green tinted
octagonal dish. which they believed
from its appearance to have been fash.
ioned out Of single emerald. A cen.
tury later James de Voragine, arch
bishop of Genoa, the author of the
Golden Legend, declared the vessel to
be surely the holy grail According
to the archbishop's chronicles the vic
tors of Cesarea had divided the war
booty into three parts. The first com.
prised all the land of the city, the sec.
ond all movable treasure and mer.
chandise and the third was the emer.
aid dish. The Genoese crusaders un.
der Guglielmo Embrace chose the lat.
ter as more valuable than all the other
spoils. After the thirteenth century
the grail became the most venerated
relic of Genoa. 1t was preserved with
the most raperent care in the chapel
of st. John the Baptist of the San
Lorenzo cathedral. A guard of honor
selected from the most noble Genoese
families was formed for its protection
The severest penalties were imposed
for touching the grail with a. touch.
stone or any other object.
1t was the popular belief that the
vessel was not made by the hand of
man, but that Christ himself had fash.
ioned 1t miraculously out of common
clay on the day of the supper. 9th.
ers maintained the view that its origin
dated back to the time of the queen
of Sheba. 1t was asserted that she
presented it as the most precious gift
among all her treasures to King Solo
mon In Jerusalem, by whom it was
used In the ceremony of the paschal
lamb. However much opinion differed
as regards the origin and composition
of the relic, there was no divergence
on the point that the grail was the
most priced possession of the mighty
republic-nay, the greatest treasure in
all Christendom.
Skeptics did not dare to raise their
voices until the eighteenth century,
when some French visitors, on close
inspection, claimed to have discovered
air bubbles in the glary substance of
the basin.
Napoleon did not overlook the grail
of Genoa. He ordered it to be con-
veyed to the cabinet of antiquities of
the national library of Paris. A spe-
cial committee was then appointed of
members of the French institute of
sciences, and they, after prolonged ex-
animation, declared the vessel to con-
sist Of mere colored glass of very little
intrinsic value. When Napoleons
spoils, after his final defeat, were re-
turned again to their rightful owners,
the grail was, in 1915, restored to
its shrine In the cathedral of Genoa,
but much ofits mystic atmosphere had
vanished, never to return. Lately the
view was almost universally accepted
that although the extreme antiquity of
the dish was not disputed-it is now
said to be of old oriental. probably
Phoenician, origin-it has never been
employed as table utensil. but prob
ably served as a priests hand rinsing
basin or as sacrificial vessel for
casting fragrant substances upon the
altar.

He puts his underlings at work to
start a run on the bank and a strike
at the mine and then uses Alice to
lure, innocently, of course, Jim out to
Newport. Jim gets word of how
things are going and is for hurrying
back to the city, but accepts an invi-
tation to go on the yacht of friend
who, it happens, is under the thumb
of the magnate. The plot is to keep
him away from the city until it is too

loc king up the magnate, compels the
captain to turn the yacht back to

this, enough money is given to Jim to
weather the run on his bank, which is
