That Three Mile Limit,

The origin OF the three mile limit"
the imaginary line three miles from the
shore, which fixes the territorial wa
terS Of sovereign state, Is somewhat
Of n mystery. One explanation and the
one usually accepted Is that when 1t
was agreed on 10y the nations three
miles was the limit Of range OF the big
guns Of that time. If that were so and
proposal was put forward TO revise
the territorial limits In agreement with
the effective range OF modern artillery

The Turk and the Crescent.

The crescent was not originally an
emblem of the Turk. 1t was first used
by the primitive Christians Of Con-
stantinople and the eastern provinces
Of the old Roman empire as an en-
blem Of the growing influence OF Chris
tianity 1t was not until about the
year 1853, after the Turks had over
run Asia Minor and parts of southern
Europe and had captured CONSTANT
nople, that the Turks adopted the cres-
cent as their national emblem. The
Koran prohibits the use Of images
and symbols in the religious cere-
monies of the strict Turk or the inter
nal decorations Of their temples and
mosques, the rule being so strict as
not to allow the martial or civic deco
ration of their greatest generals or
pashas, successful commanders or 9th
pr distinguished persons. The adop-
tion Of the crescent by the Turk as a
national cmble N is an oddity which
has so far remained unexplained

Burned out electric lamps can be re-

closing 1t completely.
The phosphorus unltes with the oXy-
