MYSTERY OF "OLD ROCK"
 IS PUZZLE IN MICHIGAN

TRAVERS CITY, Mich., April 20
 On the banks of Sutton Bay in a small shack, an old Russian hermit lives who is known as "Old Rock"
 Until a few days ago the history of "Old Rock" was a mystery, but a tactful Kalamazoo boy, who spends some time here every year, forced out of the fugitive a few snatches of his career.
 About thirty years ago "Olo Rock" was schoolteacher in his native country. Having educated himself to a high degree of pro ficiency, he was very prosperous ir his profession and soon became widely known. He was urged into politics by his friends. But his grow ing ambition was greater than his pride, and he did something secret
 
 ly in the service of his country that changed the courss of his life.
 When the old hermit reached this point in the story of the tragedy of his life, he had to gasp for breath and refused to tell any more of his history in Russia. "Old Rock escaped to, the free land of Ameri- ca, where he has spent twenty-five years of his life exiled from his parents, country and friends.
 It is said that "Old Rock' lives with but one thought in his mind and that is to make amend for his past.

THE CUSTOM OF LIFTING"

It is strange that absurdities should have arisen from what is to Christians the solemn idea of the resurrection or lifting" of Christ. In one of the English countries q grave divine stepped into way side inn one day of Easter week.
 No sooner was he seated than two strapping women rushed in and. making what children call "chair" with their arms, invited him to be lifted" and carried in state thru the streets. With a small sum of money he bought them off and made amends for his evident disnnay at what they had considered an honor.
 On Easter Monday and Shrove Tuesday the people were in the hab- it of going about lifting" or "heav- ing" each other, each three times.

LEG BONE MADE
 INTO JAW BONE
AMERICAN JUST BACK FROM FRANCE TELLS OF
 SURGERY.

NEW 1ORk, April Io.--S. Hu- bert, a representative of an arti- ficial limb firm, returned today from France after supplying artificial legs to soldiers for several months past and at the rate of 50 a week.
 He said that of the surgical op- erations he saw in the French hos pitals, the most remarkable was that on a man who had his jaw shot away. A section of bone was taken from a shattered leg and a jaw made of it that was an improve ment on the original. It was fitted with false teeth.
 Robert Kirton, Pittsburgh chauf- feur who went to England a year ago and became a motorcycle des- patch bearer in the army in France. arrived here from Liverpool wearing a steel corset and with seven ribs missing.
 Kirton is an Englishman, but had lived in this country thirteen years. He was on duty near Haslncourt. and in carrying message suddenly found himself under fire. Before he could escape a machine gun sent iwenty-seven bullets thru his body.
 He fell from his machine, but. while lv,ng on the ground took out his dispat ches, read them carefully. and then burned them, he said. Lat CT, he vas rescued by a detachment of Allied troops, and was sem to q hospital where the surgeons with great patience plucked out the num- erous bullets and more numerous bits of broken bone. They invented a flexible corset of steel, which Kir- ton now wears.
 The, British government awarded him the distinguished service medal. 800 and an indefinite leave. With the money and bride whom he met and married while convalescing in England, he sailed for New York on the Tuscania. Other passengers added $45 to his fund. He said he hoped to get position as chauffeur fin Pittsburgh.

.CROCKER LAND
 OPTICAL DELUSION
QUESTION APPEARS TO BE DEFINITELY SETTLED
 AS TO POLE.

Evldence that there was little use in sending out Polar expedition to find the supposed Arctic Con- tinent which Admiral Peary report ed having seen and which he named "Crocker Land" is furnished in the current number of the American Museum Journal.
 Donald MacMillan, leader of the expedition which went north in 1913, reports that there is no Crocker Land more substantial than mirage. His party fitted out for two years. Ice spoiled the plans for a 'homeward start in 1915, and the party must now stay in the Arctic a third year and, until relieved. must live on the land, as the Es- kimos do.
 The ship Cluett, which sailed last July to bring the party home, got as far only as North Star Bay, 125 miles south of Etah, the appointed rendezvous. When the ship was stall ed by ice a motorboat, which had been built for navigation in icy waters, set out for Etah to get the men. Nothing has been heard of that trip. The Cluett carried provisions for two years, and a way probably can be found to connect with the MacMillan party. Mean while MacMillan and his companions cannot get white mems food. There is no way of judging how long this condition may last.
 MacMillan's dash for Crocker Land is described in letter from him to Col. H. D. Borup, whose son. George, would have led the expedi- tion had he not been drowned in Long Island Sound, after he had completed arrangements for sailing. After telling of three marches, which took the party 152 miles northwest of Cape Thomas Hubbard, the point at which Peary saw the supposed continent, MacMillan writes, appar- ently about the beginning of 1915:
 "On the fourth march We thought We had it. All leads had frozen, the water sky had disappeared, leaving the horizon as clear as crystal. Stretching for at least 120 degrees there were every appearance of an immense land-hills, valleys, snow capped peaks-as plain as could pos siby be-. even asked one of the Eskimo toward which point we should head. He smiled and said he thought it was spoojok' (mist). Green declared that if he ever saw land that was land. The only reason l had for doubting was it's size. As We proceeded it gradually changed in appearance and extent with the revolving of the sun, and finally dis appeared altogether.
 otandlng later on the heights ot the cape where Peary stood eight years before, we saw the same thing. and had We not been there we could have taken our oath it was land. Our best judgment then, as now, is that this is mirage of the sea. due to layers of air at unequal tenn peratures, lifting the inequalities of the ice, causing the shadows and the lighted spots to resemble land. At one time this resemblance extended practically throughout the whole horizon. In other words, 1t appeared where we knew positively there is no lard"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
 GIRL.

(By Helen Rowland in P.-I.) A man is so apt to mistake his love of experiment for love of a woman that half the time he doesn't know which is which.
 <
 You can't always judge by ap- pearances. For instance, not every woman who dresses and acts like a show girl i sa society woman. Some of them are show girls.
 <
 After the second bottle of wine almost any man can fancy himself intoxicated with a woman's beauty Of course, every man fancies he is yearning for the volcanic" sort of love of which he reads in novels, but even a volcano must be quiet and unresponsive, sometimes, in or der to be effective, dearie.
 Propinquity is a form of senti- mental homeopathy. Its primary eff feet is to cause love-its secondary effect, to cure it.
 x
 Alas! it is so difficult for a girl to know what to do! If she doesn't t respond to 3 mans sentiment she bores him to death, and if she does she frightens him to death.
