SECRET UNVEILED BY STORM

Nicholas Island Exposing
Ancient Burial Place.

Los Angeles.-To the heavy storms
which swept the channel islands In
June. 1914, science owes the remark
able discoveries now made public by
Doctor Alliot. Terrific gales and
sweeping seas tore away the fiimsy
crust which for ages had been gather
ing above the ancient burial ground
at the northern extremity of San
Nicholas island and more than one
hundred graves were uncovered.
On this island, called the loneliest
spot between the poles, the expedi-
ton from the Southwest museum
spent many weeks. To the head Of
the expedition. William Henry Co
lisch. assistant curator Of the mu-
scum, and Mrs. Golisch, Is due chief
credit for many of the archaeological
discoveries on which are based the
present deductions which threaten
some long-established theories of ev-

MAKES ALLIGATOR USEFUL
Carried Line Through Sewer That
Had Become CIogged In
Florida Town.

wauchula. Fla.-Capt. B. R. King.
superintendent of the Fort Meade
waterworks, was in town recently and
showed a picture of the only working
alligator in Florida. Some time ago
one of the sewers of Fort Meade be-
came clogged up. It was 400 feet
from manhole to manhole, and the
sewer was 20 feet below the surface
and in quicksand.
It looked as though the city was in
for an expensive job. The captain con-
ceived the idea Of getting an alligator.
tying a line to him and letting him
work his way through the sewer. AT
first an 1S-inch alligator was tried.
He went nearly 200 feet and turned
back.
Then a four-foot gator was OBJ
tanned. and he worked his way from
manhole to manhole, carrying the line
with him, after which the cleaning Of
the sewer was q simple matter.

IRELAND'S new VICEROY

Lord Wimborne, who has succeeded
Lord Aberdeen as viceroy of Ireland,
Is quite we'll known In the United
States. having visited this country
several times, his latest trip being
for the purpose Of bringing over the
polo team that captured the interna-
tional cup last summer. Wimborne is
not especially popular. though he is
affable. enthusiastic and very ambi-
tious. His first visit to America was
when, as Hon. Ivor Guest, he offieIated
as best man at the wedding OF his
cousin, the duke of Marlborough, to
consuelo Vanderbilt. Through his
mother he is descended from the first
duke Of Marlborough. On his fathers
side, however, his ancestry is of a
less historic character, and he is de.
scended from John Guest, a self.made
man, who in the middle OF the eight.
eenth century founded the great Dow
lais iron works, In Glamorganshire.
which still remain In the family, and
