Xerxes and the Hellespont.

We can imagine our sailors apply
ing alliterative epithets to the Darda
nelles when one of the weather inter
ruptions occurs, remarks the London
Chronicle. But we cannot imagine
Admiral Garden doing that sort of
thing officially, as Xerxes did when a
storm wrecked his bridge of boats
from Abydos to Sestos. Not content
with having the engineers decapitat-
ed, he ordered the infection Of 300
lashes upon the strait and the letting
down into 1t of set Of letters. He
rodotus discredits the story that
Xerxes also sent irons to brand the
strait. But the historian does give
the Hellenic and blasphemous
terms which the scourgers were or
dered to use: "Thou bitter water, this
is the penalty which our master in
flicts upon thee because thou hast
wronged him though he has never
wronged thee King Xerxes will cross
thee, whether thou wilt or not; but
thou deservest not sacrifice from any
man, because thou art a treacherous
river Of salt water"

INVENTED BY AN AUSTRIAN
Torpedo, SO FearfuIIy Destructive, lie
a Comparatively Modern Weapon
Of Warfare.

The modern torpedo Is virtually a
locomotive mine, the charge being
carried in the head of a long, cigar
shaped steel body propelled by its
own machinery and kept on Its course
by means of q gyroscope. The history
Of this weapon dates only from 1866,
in which year an Austrian officer, Cap
tain Lupus, submitted the germ OF
the idea to Mr. Whitehead, then man
ager of an engineering works in FL
ume. BY him the weapon was per-
fected, and the British torpedo is
still known by his name. The most
up-to-date torpedoes are credited with
a range Of about 10000 yards, over
which they are propelled by engines
driven by compressed air which is
heated, and therefore made capable
Of doing more work, on Its way to the
engines. The rate Of speed varies
from forty to twenty knots, according
to the distance which is to be trav-
eled, and although the weapons can
be set to travel at varying depths be
low the surface, nine feet is the usual
distance, this taking them well below
the lower edge Of a battleship's armor.

She Gently swore.

One Of the new skeleton-trimmed
hats worn by women caused merri-
ment in a New York subway train
and cost one man the price Of a new
pair of eyeglasses. The wearer Of the
hat, a short, stylishly gowned, good
looking young woman, was seated be-
tween two tall men, both Of whom
wore eyeglasses with a cord attached.
Every time the woman fldgeted
around the trimming would catch the
strings attached to the eyeglasses OF
the two men. Suddenly one Of the
men started for the door as the guard
called his station. When he arose
he jerked the girls hat almost of
her head, and as the hatpins pulled
her hair she gave little cry of pain.
The man confusedly murmured an
apology, at the same time clutching
at his glasses, which had been loos-
ened by the concussion AID which fell
to the floor and were broken. The
young man beat q retreat for the
door, while the young woman adjust
ed her headgear and gently swore be-
ueath her breath.

POETRY OF THE cELT
FRENCH EXPERT TRACES IT'S in.
FLuENcE IN LITERATURE.
Shows Possibility That the Institution
Of the Nomad Troubadour Had
Its Origin In the Country
Of Wales.

Anatole lie Braz of the University
of Rennes, Brittany, In a lecture on
the Celtic influence In literature, at
the University OF Cincinnati, dis
tinguished between two classes of
Celtic populations, those Celtic In orr
gin, but with an intermingling Of
French and English blood, and those
more purely Celtic The second GLASS,
he said, IS found in France, among
the Bretons, and in England, among
the Celts OF Cornwall, the Welsh, and
the Irish. To 1t we must look for any
remains Of the Celtic genius and for
the means by which Celtic. influence
was brought to bear upon European
literature. Ireland, which M. lie Braz
chose as his starting point, possessed,
at the time Of the Scandinavian inva-
sion, an old civilization that had been
little Influenced by Rome or Germany.
Christianity, however, left a profound
imprint upon the Gaelic soul. 1t is in
the religious domain that Ireland first
Influenced the European world. Her
saints evangelical barbaric Europe;
and 1t was at the time of her religious
awakening that she produced her
artists and philosophers The infiu-
ence Of her epic poetry was no less
felt than that of her eyangelization.
The Celts of Cornwall and Wales, he
continued, superior In culture at the
time Of the Saxon invasion, refused to
be absorbed by their more savage con-
Querors. The two chief Celtic pas
sions, love Of country and love Of in
dependence, found expression In the
legends of King Arthur, who, they be-
lieved, would reappear to free them
from the Saxon yoke. Through poetry
and music these legends were kept
ever fresh in the Celtic mind. Music
and song were an essential part Of
their education, and the bard was a
privileged character among them,
from the sixth century through the
twelfth.
Gradually, as the Celts and Sa1ons
united, the latter learned to appreci-
ate the Celtic poetry, and the Celtic
literary themes passed into Saxon
possession. But, as the new social
state evolved, formed of this alliance,
the art Of the bards ceased to be an
official institution, and they we're COM
PEELED to find means Of support.
They became wandering singers. 60
ing to assemblies, feasts and abbeys.
Il should. not be surprised" he
marked NJ. lie Braz, IF It should some
day be discovered that the institution
OF the nomad troubadour, Of the
jongleur, SO popular in Europe during
the middle ages, had its first origina-
tors in the country ofMales" Through
the nomad bard. then, Celtic poetry
was disseminated, sung in the three
languages-C Celtic, Saxon, Roman.

MUD SAVED AvlATeR's LIFE
eAlrman Makes 1oo-Foot Plunge Into
RoO-Damaoe. Repaired by
Good Bath.

Eddie Musick escaped death when
his biplane plunged one hundred feet
to earth at Venice because he was
buried neck-deep in a Shiny mud-bog
in the middle of the aviation field.
The wav In which his machine fell
would have dashed him to instant
death II he had not landed in the mud.
The plane is q total wreck, except for
the motor.
Young Musick, who is a mechanic,
had been up in the air about fifteen
minutes flying around the edge Of the
field and had started for the ham
gars when his engine suddenly missed
fire, spsi1kefed few times. and went
dead The sudden loss Of propelling
npwarf with the buffeting shutdown
seabFeeze, caused the plane to swivel
and dive for the earth. successful
volplane being impossible.
The resulting crash came when the
craft struck, wheel first, in the mud
The blow was on the swerve, however,
and the aviator's fall was greatly
cushioned by this. He Vas thrown
from his seat and precipitated into the
vegetable decay, loan and mud, with
the wrecked machine over him.
George Wilson, who flies mono
plane was one Of the first to thet side
of the aviator. He pulled himl out
and found that all the treatment he
needed was good bath, for the slick
and Shiny black mud covered him
from head to foot. = Los Angeles

SEWING Broken Hearts.

A Russian surgeon named zeldler
reports 81 patients who recovered
from stab wounds OF the heart in
the hospital at Obuchow. Prompt and
rapid operations is the probable rea-
son for this good showing.
The patients were all put under the
influence of ether very soon after the
injury, part of the chest wall was re-
moved, the heart lifted from its bed,
and the stitches quickly introduced be-
tween pulsations. The bony chest
wall over the heart was not put back
in place, that organ being left covered
only by skin and muscle. This was
done to give the heart room to expand
and to prevent adhesion from embar-
RAISING the hearts action. Several of
the patients are at their daily work
after seven years since the operation.

..fommIesn Were lifted.

A strange romance of the battle
field is mentioned by sergt. t. Bay
ley:
"A man Of the Gordon listed i've
years ago." he says, because the
Greenock girl he wanted preferred an
other chap who was earning few
more shillings . week more. One day
when wounded he noticed another
British soldier belonging to a Scottish
regiment whose face seemed familiar.
He crawled over and found it was
the chap for whom he had been
thrown over. He bore no ill-will, and
started talking, when he found that
this chap in turn had been thrown
over for another man, who also was
Tilted and was actually serving in the
same regiment as the first man.

Old Men Lead.

The proverb "old men for counsel,
young men for war" has generally
been understood by the wise to mean
that old men may be useful occasion
ally for proffering advice based on ex-
perience, but that strength and energy
and enthusiasm of young men are es-
sential for any real activity on . large
scale, such as war. The proyerb still
holds good. but with q qualification.
Young men are stfll the backbone Of
war-ip the trenches. The old men
are the co1nseIors. but they are more
than counselors. They are the active
executive heads >the, commandera.--
