Strange signs frequently hang from
ships which puzzle even jewellers in
seaport towns to guess the meaning
Of A basket slung from the main
mast head is sailors sign to notify
that the cargo has been loaded or dis
charged, as the case may be, and that
the ship is ready to start on her next
trip. This she cannot do until the
usual board of trade formalities have
been observed, and the ships papers,
which, while ship is in port, are de-
posted with the board of trade, have
been returned to the captain.
A generally mysterious emblem is a
bosom dashed to a mainmast or bridge
railing. This is to signify that the yes

Of recent bereavement. Blue is the
sailors mourning, and the stripe of
this color takes the place of the black

Sudden Death
Caused by Disease of the Kidney.

The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies. and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease of brain
or lungs.
1t is good insurance against such
a risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package of "Anuric"-the latest
discovery of DR.. Pierce. When you

fieials denied having any such informa-
tion. There have been no wireless
messages from the vessel since it sailed
May 9.
The story that the submarines were
sighted and the belief that they were
headed for America was based on an
account of a midocean attempt of two
apparent raiders to capture the French
liner Venezia 100 miles from Bordeaux
en- route to the United States.
The pursuing boats steamed toward
one another, meeting FAR astern of the
Venezia, and conversed for a few mo.
ments. AT the same sime two pale
streamers of smoke were seen rising
from the side of the second pursuer
This was believed to be from subma-
rines. At this point the larger ono
faster of the raiders gave up the pur-
suit The smaller followed until dusk,
occasionally firing a shot, but none of
the projectiles fell closer than 500
yards away. The chase was abandoned
at dusk.
According to British naval reserve
officer, four raiders escaped from Kiel
on February 2S. The Grief was sunk.
The others have not been heard Of
since.
