DEATH OF LORD KITCHENER.
British General Had no Chance for
His Life.

Lord Kitchener and his staff did
not even reach the deck of the Brit
ish cruiser Hampshire after she
struck mine off the coast of Scot
land one stormy night in June, 1916,
according to a warrant officer who
has just told the story of the sinking
to a correspondent of the Manches-
ter Guardian.
Questions concerning the sinking
of the Hampshire have been asked
in parliament because of the persis-
tent rumor that the vessel had been
sunk by submarine and Lord
Kitchener had been carried off a pris-
oner to Germany. No detailed state
ment, however, has been officially
given out. The name of the officer
who now tells the story has not been
disclosed
Four days after the Jutland battle,
according to the officer, the Hamp-
shire took Lord Kitchener aboard on
June 5 and set out in the foulest
weather known in that REGION She
was escorted by two destroyers who
were unable to face the storm and
returned to port Everything on
board the Hampshire was lashed
down, and only one hatchway was
left open.
About o'clock in the evening the
ship was shaken by a terrific explos-
ion and the crew scrambled for the
deck. Officers quickly took their
posts, but their orders could not be
heard because of the raging storm
and the terrific sound of escaping
steam. Immediately after the ex-
plosion there was another and all
lights went out, which added to the
confusion.
The officer, with companion, cut
the lashings of life-raft. 1t being
impossible to launch the boats in the
terrific sea, and the raft was slipped
down the side. 1t turned upside
down, but finally righted and he with
others found themselves afloat. AL
most Immediately the ship went
down, not more than five minutes af-
ter the first explosion The officer
did not see Lord Kitchener on deck,
and it is his opinion that as only one
hatchway was open the only men
who reached the deck were those
who went that way. Although much
confusion, he recalls trying to open
number of other hatchways while
trying to reach the deck and found
them all battened down.
The raft drifted with the gale for
five hours, during which time many
of the men were washed from the
raft, while others died and rolled in
to the net work in the center. The
raft was then tossed through an
opening in a rock reef and beached
on an island.
The officer scoffed at the sugges-
ton that Lord Kitchener had been
saved and was quite sure that the
Hampshire had been mined and not
torpedoed.

The Vanishing Indian

Although, says the Smithsonian
Institution, the total number of
Indians as recorded by the CEN
sus increases from decade to decade,
this increase is due wholly to that
of mixed bloods; the full-bloods of
pure strain are in most localities
rapidly disappearing and in a con-
siderable proportion of the tribes
have become actually extinct or on
the point of extinction. The pro-
gress of miscegenation among
many tribes seems hardly to have
been realized hitherto, even by
students of ethnology. A search
was recently made for full-blood
Shawnees on the Shawnee Agency,
in eastern Oklahoma, and for full
blood Kickapoos about McLoud,
Okla, where the main body of
this tribe is settled. But three of
the former were found, and but
one doubtful example of a full
blood Kickapoo. ''Thus." says
the Institution, S'two tribes. one of
them of considerable importance,
may be regarded as lost to

The Man of Cheer

don't know how he is on creeds,
Inever heard him say;
But he's got smile that fits his face
And he wears it every day.
If things 60 wrong he don't complain,
Just tries to see the joke,
He's always finding little ways
Of helping other folk.
He sees the good in every one,
Their faults he never mentions,
He has lot of confidence
In peoples good intentions.
No matter if the sky is gray,
You get his point of view,
And if the clouds begin to scatter,
And the sun comes breaking thro'
You'll know him if you meet him.
And you'll find it worthyour while
To cultivate the friendship of
The man behind the smile.

OLDEST CITY IN THE WORLD
Strange and Varied is the History of Damascus the City
Handed Down to Us From Antiquity
Selected

quests of Saladin; of the ravages
of the MongoIs, and of the final
inclusion of Damascus within the
Ottoman empire, early in the six
teenth century. followed by long
400 years of stagnation.
The modern Damascus, like the
Damascus of all the ages, is, in it's
distant view, as are many Eastern
cities, place of great beauty. 1t
lies at the northern edge of the
plain of Ghutah, at the foot of the
Anti-Lebanon, $3.50 feet above the
sea, and all around, for circuit of
go miles, extend the famous or
chards, gardens, vineyards, and
fields of Damascus, which have al
ways made it's fertility proverbial
throughout the East. The Arabs
regard it as one of their four earth
ly paradises. Close at hand the
city is not so beautiful. The
rough mud walls of the houses
contrast strangely with the splen-
dors within, for the houses of Da-
mascus, with their mosaics and
carved wood, and their ceilings
rich in arabesque ornaments,
elaborately gilded, are amongst
the most beautiful in the East.
The bazaars, however, are the
great feature of Damascus. The
masses of color and the wonderful
effects Of light and shadow which
they present have made them the
delight of painters. As one writ
er has described such scene, here
are displayed all the riches of the
Orient; rare carpets and rugs from
Persia, and shaWls, scarfs and kerr
chiefs Of every dye from the far
interior of Asia, with gold and sill
yer embroideries in exquisite taste
or of barbaric splendor. There is
no pavement, but the ground is
hard from the tread of many feet,
for motley throng is ever passing
to and fro. of turbaned men and of
women closely veiled; musician
playing his tambourine, and cava-
liers or a train of camels slowly
filing through. The long streets
are dim and cool, being arched in
high above, and through apertures
the sunlight falls in misty streams
on the gorgeous ware and moving
multitudes beneath. Then. the old
city walls are still there; and the
Roman gateways; and the Derb
el-Mistakim, or the street which
is called Straight still runs
through the city, from the eastern
to the western gate, as it did nine
teen hundred years ago, in the
days of St. Paul.

drilled and SHAPED, are lowered
and securely bolted until riveted.

These plates lap over one another
Iabout one foot and the rivet holes
are about two inches apart. When
riveted this makes the seam water
proof; and this is where the riveter
earns his wages, as it's a straight
60 and the rivets can be driven
rapidly and nearly as fast as the
heater boy can have them ready.
The large castings or forgings
forming the stem and stern post
are then erected and the remainder
of the ships plates put on. The
interior Of the ship being partly
completed. the next step is the
launching. This may take place
any time after the outside platings
are put on, for the interior of the
ship is completed as far as neces-
sary to assure sufficient strength
and stiffness.
All this weight so far is on the
keel blocks. It must now be trans
ferred to the launching-ways.
These consist of heavy timbers
laid on each side of the keel blocks
and inclined at about the same
angle as the keel blocks. Resting
ON the launching-ways are the
sliding bilge- ways, also of heavy
timbers. On top of the bilge- ways
| is built framework that fits close
ly to the bottom of the ship. This
| is called the cradle. To remove
the enormous weight of the ship
to the launching-ways wedges are
driven under the cradle, lifting
the ship off the keel blocks. The
under surface of the bilge-ways
and the upper surface of the
launching-ways having been well
fabricated, the ship is ready to
slide into the water. This is done
by cutting the tie-piece that holds
Eher. She starts down the ways
slowly but she gathers consider
able speed on reaching the waters.
This is checked by hawsers. AS
soon as she is water-borne she
floats clear of the cradle. Tugs
are at hand to dock her, where her
boilers and engines are installed
and the interior and upper works
finished.
In this way our fabricated ships
are built and put into commission.
Shipbuilding is like many other
trades-there is no end to- it. There
are new parts being added every
year and new tools for the use of
shjpbuilders. Just recently a
pneumatic strapping saw has been
invented that enables two men to
do as much as twenty men can do
with hand tools.
In regard to our merchant ma
rine, the shipbuilders and ship.
workers have been doing splendid
| work. This is shown by the enor-
nous amount of ships put afoat
last year. You no doubt remem-
