CAPTAIN Pershing thoroughly re-
~ connoitred the position and came
to the conclusion that it was not so
secure as the sultan believed Dis
carding the idea of using boats to
reach the point he bridged it from
several directions and attacked in
force. The army of Maciu quickly
recognized the superiority of the Am
crican forces and surrendered
Things were fairly quiet at Fort
Wears that winter. Several minor
attacks were suppressed, with no loss.
In February, 1903, the Sultan of Ba-
yam made q call of state at the Amer
lean fort. He wished to inspect for
himself the headquarters of the force
which had conquered his people, to
see if he could discover the source of
their success. Pershing recognized
the importance Of the visit and made
it one of great ceremony-such as
was due a royal parsonage.
The sultan was greatly impressed,
and swore eternal friendship to the
American flag. However, he made a
strong protest to a suggestion by
Pershing that the latter visit the sui
tan. AS he cleverly put it, he didn't
believe it would be advisable. as his
people were very excitable. Pershing
disregarding the advice of the sultan.
made the visit the very next month.
He was courteously received by the
sultan, when that dignitary saw the
force Of seven infantry companies
and the battery of artillery with
him.
The only entrance to the fort COM
manded by the sultan was by means
of ladders, so Pershing and his Of
ficers climbed these ladders and paid
their respects at the oriental court
of the monarch. AS a, part of the
ceremony, the Stars and Stripes were
raised over the fort and the artillery
fired q salute Of twenty-one guns.
1t happened that there were no
blanks in the caissons of the artillery
and the salute had to be made with

LIFE OF GENERAL PERSHING

natives had ever seen this kind
ammunition and they were much
terested as they watched its effect
the trees of the jungle.
The sultan had a surprise for |
American army officer. however. WI
all the love of the Oriental for osta
tation, he created Captain Persha
of the United States army one Of
Dattos.
A Datto of the Moro people is !
only a prince, but he has certain
ligious and judicial duties which
very important in their eyes. PerJ
ing had the unusual honor of bel
the first person not Mohammed
to have this honor conferred up
him. He did not care particular
about the honor. but it gave him|
certain prestige with the natives
which he could make use in his K
pacity as governor of that proviH
The Moros had not recognized
authority of the United States to sd
ern them. All officers intrusted wi
executive powers worked, thereby
at q disadvantage.
Here was an officer, however, Ell
powered by the United States to go
ern the natives who at the same tin
was one of their own Dattos. Herd
itary laws compelled their obedierI
to him, and they recognized his al
thority as their judge.
Such condition was bound to pr
duce beneficial results. The terrific
controlled by Fort Wears became o
of the most law-abiding in the
lands. The majority of the natiH
soon learned that they could secu1
more real justice from their America
Datto than from one of their on
race and religion. They came
miles around to let Captain Pershi1
decide their cases.
With the exception of a few of I
outlying tribes the region had be
conquered. Acting upon orders, ca
tain Pershing set out thoroughly
pacify these.

Iron From Metcora.

In the old world the art of smelling
ores was discovered about 1900 B. c
It has sometimes been suggested that
iron tools and weapons may have been
made at an earlier period from me-
teorites. and recently considerable
amount of evidence in behalf Of this
hypothesis has been presented by MIR.
C. F. thinner. He has compiled q list
Of the known iron-cOntaining meteor
ties, nearly all accumulated within the
past century, and he shows from these
alone about two hundred and fifty tons
of iron might be obtained. OF this
amount more than 80 per cent is mall
leable, consisting Of nickel-iron al-
10y.
He also shows by means Of series
Of illustrations how easy 1t is to detach
from the meteorites fragments Of iron
suitable for use as tools or implementa
when mounted In handles. Ehus II
seems fairly probaAse' TINT Awtdo
spread use may have been made Of
meteoric iron in prehistoric times. Al
the time Of the Spanish cbhquest od
Mexico the Aztecs had iron knives and
daggers, which they declared had been
obtained from the sky. Moreover, the
use of meteoric iron by Eskim0s and
American Indians is matter OF recent
