The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1916-05-26

"It is said" he remarked reflective
~, ''that womens hands are growing
larger"
"WellT" she returned inquiringly.
Eyes" he asserted. "And the worst
Of 1t is that there is every likelihood
that this tendency will continue"
"Yes? she said In the same inquir-
ing tone.
"Yes," he repeated. "You see, driv-
ing and golf and tennis and other
sports that women have recently taken
up are responsible for it."
'Tn that case" she said, with a
glance at her own dainty hands, you'd
better speak quick If you want small
one."
He realized that it was the opportu-
nifty of a lifetime, and he spoke
promptly.-Chicago Herald.

Japan's DRAGON Lamps.

Japan abounds with sacred places
Shintoist and Buddhist-formerly re-
puted for the appearances Of the so
called dragons lamp" This is mys-
ferrous light that comes out of pond,
lake or sea and alights on a certain
tree, mostly on a certain night 1t was
held that the light was dedicated by
a dragon dwelling in the water to a
god whose shrine stood near the trees.
For example, the famous Ryuto Of the
temple of Avalokitesvara on Nagusa
hill, province of Xii, made its annual
ascent from the sea to pine tree In
the precincts every ninth night Of the
seventh moon. At the midnight of the
10th Of every month a Ryuto came
from the northeast off1ng to the so
called dragons lamp pine" near the
shrine of Mandjusri at Kiredo, prov
ince of Tango, whereas on the same
tree another light, named Celestial
lamp" made its descent from the heav-
ems every sixteenth night of the first,
fifth and ninth months.-Exchange.

leanind Treason.

King William III. of England was
passionately fond of the chase and
made it a point never to be outdone
In any leap, however perilous. A Mr..
Cherry, who was devoted to the ex'
fled Stuarts, took advantage of this
to plan the most remarkable design
which was ever formed against q
kings life. He regularly Joined the
royal hounds, put himself foremost
and took the most desperate leaps in
the hope that William might break
his neck in following him. One day,
however, he accomplished one so i'm
minently dangerous that the king when
he came to the spot shook his head
and drew back. 1t is said that Mr..
Cherry at length broke his own neck
and thereby relieved the king from
further hazard.

Salt In Roumania,

Veritable mountains of salt are to be
seen in some sections of Roumania
for the salt deposits cover an enor'
nous area and have a thickness vary
ing from 600 even to 800 feet. AT
Sarat there is a mountain Of salt, and
steam shovels can be used to load the
waiting cars. In other cases the gal
lery system is employed, and cleo,
trically driven machines turn out
blocks a cubic yard in size, like great
pieces of granite.

Tha Arabic Iannuaue.

The Arabic used in the Koran diff
fers as much from the Arabic used In
ordinary conversation and intercourse
in the east as Latin differs from Ital-
ian. The Koran Arabic is that of the
literary classes; colloquial Arabic II
that of the common people.

TO MEET eureka
Down Staters Will Clash With Local
Collegians at Campus on Saturday
Afternoon at 2:30.
(By PAUL DAHLEN.)

| Eureka comes to Rock Island to-
morrow to battle on the diamond with
Augustana. The down staters are an
unknown quality to the locals and
just what they have developed this
year in the way of a combination of
ball players cannot be reckoned The
! locals seem to be in even better condi-
ton than they were last Saturday when
they met Bradley and after that ex-
perience it is anticipated that they
will work together better as a unit.
Just who will appear on the mound
for Augustana is a matter of conjec-
ture, although it may be that Blom-
berg, who did the heavy slab work last
Saturday against Bradley, will again
take the box.
The combination which Conrad used
Tuesday night against the high school,
although it was an original surprise
TO the fans, seemed to work out quite
well in consideration of the fact that
ut was the first time the scheme was
pulled. Eddie Johnson took the box,
Samuelson did the backstop work,
While Blomberg was stationed at his
old sack, third In that position he
showed all his old time speed, accept
ing chances and delivering his peg to
first with his reputed accuracy. John
