propounds the theory that Buddha was
not Hindu, as is the prevailing belief,
is an American, a native of New Eng

the employ of the archaeology depart

is his belief that Buddha was a Per-

Hindu teaching, which also explains
a reference to Buddha in the ancient
Parsee scriptures as a hereto, term
which could not have been used had

AMERICANS SEND AFFIOAvITs
Rumor That Submarine Hid Behind
Strange Vessel Which Made OFF
After Accident Offering
No Help.

Washingtons--of Official information
upon which President Wilson will de-
eide whether the sinking of the steam
ship Englishman and the damaging
by an explosion of the channel steam
er Sussex were the result of acts in
violation of international law is being
gathered from every available source
by consular representatives of the
United States in England and France.
Dispatches already received indi-
cate that several Americans were in
jured or killed in the Sussex disas-
ter. Four American citizens who were
aboard the Englishman still are I'M
accounted for.
No Warning of Disaster Given.
Only one dispatch of Importance
concerning the explosion which dam
aged the Sussex was received by the
state department during the day.
This contained an affidavit made in
London at the American embassy by
two American survivors, Edward S.
Huxley and Francis E. Drake of New
York. Both swore that the explosion
occurred without the slightest warn
ing" and they credited the comman-
der of the Sussex as saying he saw
the wake of torpedo before it struck
his vessel.
Another statement in the affidavit
officials seemed to consider signifi-
cant had to do with the strange sail
ing vessel which hovered near the
Sussex after the explosion and which,
in response to signals for assistance
from the channel steamer, sailed
away and disappeared.
Says U-Boat Hid Behind Vessel.
Press dispatches quote a Belgian
army officer as saying that the sub
marine probably had hidden behind
the strange vessel, which apparently
disregarded all the traditions and

An Offset to that story is one told by

Chimney Perlseope.

The men in the fireroom of fac
tory cannot always tell, without going
outside to look, whether the chimney
is smoking, and this is important,
both as a matter of economy in burn
ing the coal, and also to enable them
to conform with smoke regulations.
A writer in Power suggests placing a
mirror outside the building and set
ting it at such an angle that the men,
looking out of the window, can see
the reflection of the top of the stack
in the mirror. In some cases where
one mirror cannot be properly 10
Gated, two might be used for the pur-
pose. ~

NATURE HIDES HER RICHES
Seemingly Barren Big Horn Basin Of

Natures provisions for the comfort
OF mankind in seemingly inhospitable
regions are sometimes we'll hidden and
are found only after the scientist and
the venturesome prospector have come
to the aid of the settler. In the Big
Horn basin of northern Wyoming lack
of water and lack of fuel are conspicu.
GUS features, and the sagebrush desert,
where the temperature ranges from 80
degrees below zero in January to los
degrees above zero in July, where the
annual rainfall is less than six inches,
and where timber is scarce, is not at
tractive to the settler.
Some years ago three wells drilled
in dome or UPHOLD of the rocks near
Basin, in Big Horn county, struck a
strong flow of gas, and Greybull and
Basin now have the distinction of be-
ing the only towns in Wyoming that
are supplied with natural gas.
Field work done by United States
geological survey parties has resulted
in reports that show the position of
the rock folds, and drilling has result
ed in the discovery OF oil. Fifty-two
wells had been drilled near Basin up
to last October and more than three
fourths of them yielded oil or gas in
commercial quantity.
In order to drill some of these wells
water had to be hauled in wagons
from the river, miles away. Water
suitable for domestic use was found in
many of the wells.
