Located the Bodies,


AS a means of locating the bodies
Of four United States soldiers who
were accidentally drowned in the Rio
Grande recently an unusual expert
ment was tried and proved successful.
A hat was thrown into the water at
the point where the men had last been
seen and was followed downstream
until, after travelling about five miles
from the scene Of the accident, it came
to an eddy where it moved about slow
ly for some time. This gave the search
ers what they thought might be a clew,
and, following a practice frequently
used in searching for bodies, a charge
of dynamite was exploded at the point
where the progress of the hat had
ceased. Immediately the bodies came
to the surface.
The explanation of the experiment
is that the Rio Grande in this region
is tOrtuOus and has many eddies. The
searchers rightly assumed that the
bodies would be carried downstream
until they came to an eddy, which in
this instance was indicated by the re-
tarded progress of the hat.-St Louis

States government under the supervi-
sion Of the war department. In order
to secure funds for the constant repairs
necessary congress passed bill in 1922
ordering the establishment of turn
pixies, with gates and tolls, but Prasi-
dent Monroe vetoed the bill on the
ground that congress had no power to
pass such a sweeping measure Of in
ternal Improvement. Two years later
he signed a somewhat similar bill, and
the road received the needed appropria.
ton. The last appropriation was made
by congress in 1874. Parts Of the old
road are still in use.

Following IS the story Of the first edi.
ton of Fitzgerald's celebrated transla-
ton of Omar Khayyam:
The book was issued anonymously
and found no buyers. Accordingly the
author went to Bernard Quaritch'a
shop, dropped a heavy parcel of 200
copies of the "Rubaiyat" and said,
"Quaritch, make you a present OF
these books"
The famous bookseller offered them
first at half a crown. then at shilling,
and, again descending. at sixpence, but
no buyers came. In despair he reduced
the book to penny and put copies
into box outside his door with a tick
ct, "All these are l penny each" At,
that price the pamphlet moved In
few weeks the lot was sold. and in this
way one of the finest gems Of English
literature was dispersed among not
overdiscerDing public.
The legend has it that Dante Gabriel
RosSetti. Swinburne and Burton were
among those who discovered the "hid-
den treasure in the penny box" Years
passed. and the once despised volume
rose In the market. and in 1898 Qua
ritch bought in for E21 copy which
forty years before he had sold for a
penny.-London Spectator.
