Escape Robber Gang

Luigi and Sabatino Tabilio, brothers. re-
turned today to their home in Gibbstown

visit to this city. They discovered that one
OF the chief differences between Philadel-

The brothers while viewing the city
ventured into the neighborhood OF 10th and
Carpenter streets. Their money excepting
some Italian banknotes. was about ex-
hausted and they decided to cash the
foreign paper, II being a holiday. no bank
was open, and the two visitors recklessly
exhibited their wealth TO passers-by, The
result was that a mob attacked the pair
and attempted to rob them. District De-
teetives Mitchell and Whalen rescued the
Tabilio brothers and sent them to Mount
Sinai Hospital, where some scalp wounds
were dressed. Lorenzo LablnO. 9th and
Bainbridge streets and John LobTiola. 10th

Wasted Motions,

Our life is peppered with motions
that fly wide and wild. 1t begins on
awaking. We stretch our arms
waste motion! We ought to utilize
that gesture for polishing our shoes.
We rub u eyes-more foolishness.
We should rub our eyes on Sunday
for the rest Of the week.
But it is in processes like shaving
that scientific management is really
needed. Men fatter themselves that
they shave with the minimum of ges-
ture. They believe that they com
plete the operation under five minutes.
But, %excusing their ~inaccuracy, do they
know that under the inspection Of the
scientific manager their performance
would look as jagged as their razor
blade under the microscope? The day
will probably arrive when a superman
will shave with one superb motion as
delightful to the soul as the uncoiling

An Early Airship.

We are told by Peter Farley, who
wrote as an eyewitness, that In Au-
gust, 1885, the airship Eagle was Off
cially advertised to sail from London
with government dispatches and pas
sengers for Paris and to establish d.
rect communication between the CAPT.
tails Of Europe. This early type of air.
ship was 100 feet long. fifty feet high
and forty feet wide, and she lay in the
dockyard of the .tcrnnHutical society
In Victoria road, near KeIsington gar
dens, then quite Il rural spot. Built to
hold an abundant supply Of gas, she
was covered with oiled lawn and car
ried a frame scventy-fivc feet long and
seven feet high. with a cabin secured
by ropes to the balloon. An immense
rudder and wings or fins on each side
for purposes Of propulsion completed
her fittings. The deck was guarded by
netting. After all this preparation and
advertisement the Eagle never got be-
yond Victoria road, for Count Lennox
and his assistants failed to provide the
necessary motive power. - London

Fish That Sing.

There is a fish called the butterman,
which is found off the Scottish coast.
This fish, which is fat and comfortable
looking, about a foot long as a rule,
makes a distinct hooting noise from
the back Of his throat when landed in
a net or caught on a long line. A net
full of these fish, though they are rather
rare, is sometimes caught, and when
they are hauled in the chorus of sharp,
siren-like boots is very startling to a
stranger.
But in Ceylon there Is a shellfish, a
kind Of mussel, which positively sings.
In still weather when the water has
ebbed away from the mussel beds for
a few hours these shellf1sh can be heard
producing a long, low, fluty sound.
How they do it no one knows, but they
make a quite distinct attempt at sing
ing, and as they have no threats they
must produce the sound by some ma
n1pulation of their double shells.-Lon-
don Globe.

Elusive Zeppelins.

In his book "Zeppelins and Super
~Zeppelins" R. P. Hearne points out the
little known fact that it was a French
man named Spiess, an Alsatian, who
about 1870 drew up a clever design for
a rigid airship and made an attempt to
patent it. In 1870 Count Zeppelin was
a dashing soldier in Alsace, and Mr..
Hearne thinks it more than likely that
he saw Spiess' plans and annexed the
idea.
The Zeppelin is a most elusive object
despite its size. It can leap upward in
the air at astonishing speed. It can
drop rapidly. It can climb at a steep
angle. It car dive wonderfully, and
it can nose from side to side with no
mean agility. To reckon its altitude at
night is most difficult, and to find its
range is a matter Of much nicely.

A Peruvian River of Horror.

There is a river Of mystery and hor-
ror in Peru, and the legends Of rich
rubber regions and untold wealth in
gold are accompanied by tales Of those
who went up it to return. CAST

Travelled extensively in South America.
tells Of the stream:
"This river" he said, is the Colorado
river, the richest river in Peru. Great
groves of rubber trees lie along its
course, and gold has been found in it.
But the Mascos, a tribe Of cannibals,
infest it. They still practice cannibal-
ism and will kill a man on sight. tx
petitions have been fitted out and been
heavily armed to go exploring for rub
Der n gold, but zone Of them eve
has returned. The savages have killed
the men and eaten them and turned

filed with supplies which the savages

What 10 Good Rope.

Rope is sold by the pound, SO there
Is always the temptation for a dishon.
est manufacturer to load" his product
with an excess of oil or other material
or to make the coil a trifle short. The
consumer then pays the full rope price
for oil, etc. Then, too, much so called
manila contains a percentage of in.
ferior fiber such as sisal and has
neither the strength nor wearing quail
tiles that it should. Tensile tests do
not tell the story, for some Of the adul.
terants are almost as strong as manila,
but the strength Of poor rope falls of
rapidly with use.
Open the strands and look at the in
side of an old rope for signs of wear,
as it years faster there than on the
outside: When a rope passes over the
sheave of a block or around a cleat the
strands slide a little Oh each other, and
the inner fbers gradually pulverize.
Good manila fiber is light colored,
fine, silky and strong. Rope made from
it is. smooth, with few ends Of fiber
sticking out.-Outing.

How q Snake Swallows a Froa.

The method of swallowing is a very
simple one, although if the frog be
large more than half an hour may be
consumed in the process. The two
bones of the lower jaw are separate
and capable of independent movement,
80 the reptile loosens its hold upon one
side Of its jaw, and, pushing that side
forward as far as possible, it drives the
teeth in again and draws the jaw back
to its original position. The result is
that the prey is drawn down by the
movement. The process is then repeat
ed by the other half of the jaw, thus
inevitably forcing the victim inward.
The snakes skin stretches enormously,
and the jaw is, Of course, dislocated,
but the extensible ligaments hold the
bones together.

Sleeps Two Perquisites.

The sheep is a chunk Of misguided

wiped, but it has the distinction of be.
ing the only animal, man not excepted,
which can afford to wear strictly all
wool clothing the year round.
Probably the greatest accomplishment
of the sheep is getting itself lost In a
snowstorm, at which it is such a sue
cess that a number Of famous painters
have put in a lot of time painting pic
lures Of sheep working at this.-Farm

Gladiators,

The gladiators were originally male.
factors who fought for their lives or
captives who fought for freedom. They
were first exhibited at the funeral cere.
monies Of the Romans, 263 B.. c., and
afterward at festivals about 215 b. C.
When Dacia was reduced by Trojan
1000 gladiators fought at Rome for 123
days in celebration Of his triumph. 1t
is said that in the triumphs Of Pompey
the Great 10000 fought through q
series of many days. These combats
were suppressed in the east by the
Emperor Constantine about A. D. 1926
and in the west by Theodore in A. D.
500.

DANCER SiQnaI,

IL the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with cough. A cough is a dan.
ger signal as much as fire bell. You
should not more try to suppress it
than to stop a fire bell when it is
ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results. 1t is especially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often fol
lows bad cold or an attack of the
grip. Mrs. Thomas Beecbing, An

ter my husband takes cold easily and

Cough Remedy is the best medicine
for breaking up these attacks and you
cannot get him to take any other"
