PIGS BLADDERs AS DECOYs
Suggestion They Would Be Mistaken
for Chinese Heads in Water Won
Prize as Best Idea.

During the war between China and
Japan in 1894 Viceroy Liu Kun-yt is
sued proclamation offering a reward
to any one who could suggest plan
for destroying the enemy fleet. The
prize was won by an old literary gen.
tleman who suggested that large
number of pigs bladders should be
procured and blown up tight. Then,
when the wind was blowing off shore
towards the fleet, these should be put
In the water and the enemy would
mistake them for the heads of Chinese
soldiers swimming out to attack, and
would open fire with all their guns.
When all their ammunition was fred
away the Chinese could then go out in
boats and secure possession Of the
vessels without loss. To the foreign
mind it sounded very funny, but it was
quite a classical scheme
? During the Three Kingdom times the
city of Hwangchow was being be-
sieged by hero who had clean run
out of arrows. He thereupon manned
a feet of boats with straw men, and
sent them under the walls at night,
when the defenders shot them full of
arrows. In this way he replenished
his own magazine and depleted that
of his opponents, thus capturing the
city easily.

Big Red Cross Diamond.


One of the finest and largest dia-
monds III the world has been presented
to the Red Cross sale by the Diamond
syndicate of London. The stone,
which is of the tint known as pale
canary" weighs 205 karats and is prac-
tically twice as large as the Kohinoor
(106 karats), it is highly phosphores-
cent, and after brilliant illumination
emits the rays it has absorbed, thus
becoming self-luminous in the dark.
The stone, which originally weighed
$40 karats and was discovered in 1901
in the Des Beers mines in Griqueland
West, has been cut in very original
and beautiful form at Amsterdam, a
feature of the cutting being that a
Maltese cross is visible in the facets.
This popularity is only shared by the
Pitt diamond.
Some idea of its value may be gain
ed from the fact that a yellow dia-
mond of sc karats, belonging to the
crown jewels of Austria, is valued at
f110,000, and from the model of this
one which was shown recently is far
inferior to the 'Red Gross" diamond

When They Met AQain.

Two friends met recently in Flan-
ders. Dan Daily was one of the
friends. He used to be an advertising
man in Brooklyn and elsewhere. Just
before the war began he was in Ger
many, look-seeing. One night there
was a grand party in Frankfurt-am-
Main. Nora Bayes was there and one
or two other Americans and Arthur
Blaut, who owns the largest tannery
in Germany. He tans most of the
leather for one of the great English
firms. Next day Blaut and Dalg went
out in BIaut's car and saw the town.
Then they said good-by.
1--WE were out gathering up the
wounded" said DAILY, when 1 heard
my name called. There was a German
soldier with a smashed arm.
won't you speak to me, Dan?" he
asked.
"It was Arthur Blaut."

STOLEN TREASURES OF ART
Taken From France and Belgium
Unless Peace Terms Interfere.

viii one of the peace conditions in
volve a return to Belgian and French
art treasures removed by the Ger
mans since 1914 from the occupied
territories? asks the New York Eve
ming Post.
Until the present wars outbreak,
everyone has supposed the custom of
nations changed since Napoleon'S
time, so that it would no longer be
possible for conqueror to fill his mu-
seums with plunder. That supposi-
ton, like so many others, seems to
have been given the lie by the kaiser,
whose agents are said to have emp
tied the Antwerp and Brussels mu-
seums for the benefit of Berlin. Even
the emperor's grandfather, in the war
of 1870, took practically no toll of
Paris art treasures.
Malice has ascribed this moderation
to the lack, in that Spartan genera
tion of appreciation for art, which led
those earlier invaders to confine their
activities, for the most part, to Or
molu clocks and silver services. The
modern Prussian, however, from the
crown prince down, has become a
dilettante, an art cOnnoisseur. Hence
the very thought of cleanup made of
art objects. Berlin, willy nilly, is to
be made q world art center. If tour
| lists prefer Paris because of its great
er natural charm, they will, in any
event, be forced to visit the Prussian
| capital in order to see Rubens 'De-
scent From the Cross"
A monopoly of the worlds potash
supply, and collection of stolen art

mercy-unless the terms of peace pro
/ vide otherwise.

SuIu Women Warriors.

In the Philippines American soldiers
on several occasions came in contact
with Sulu women warriors. In one of
the last battles on the islands the
Sulus fortified themselves in the bowl
of an extinct volcano. 1t was rushed
and captured by American soldiers,
who discovered to their dismay, after
the battle, that a number of their an.
tagonists had been women. Their fig.
ures were as slim as those of the men !;
both sexes wore their hair long, with
handkerchiefs over their heads, and
the women wore trousers similar to
those worn in Turkey. Thus they were
practically indistinguishable from the
men. The bravery of these women
warriors appears all the more remark.
able when it is recalled that according
to the Mohammedan faith Il man who
is slain while fighting Christians is
translated at once to heaven, but as
the women are not supposed to have
souls their sacrifice of life is without
hope of reward in a hereafter.

Billy Louise speculated briefly upon
the note of calm authority in his voice.

A pretty way to serve cucumber is
to peel it, then pare in rounds as one
does an apple, keeping the pieces as
long as possible. Wind in rose shape,

STRANGE Fate of a Clock.

successful expedients to catch pro-
gressive Father Time and force him
back into his medieval trappings,
which they believe to be still in fash

When the picturesque old church at
Etrelliers fell before the enemy's ar
tillery, though the shell of the SYM
bolically sacred structure was abso-
lutely ruined, the clock escaped de-
struction.
