Great British Soldier.

Arthur Wellesley, first Duke Wei.
lington, was born probably on the Goth
of April, 1859, in Dublin. He was an
unpromising boy, and his mother, de-
Gliding that her ugly boy, Arthur" was
"fit food for powder and nothing else"
sent him to military academy at An.
gers, France. He entered the army in
1887 and rose rapidly, seeing much
service, until his great opportunity
came when Napoleon returned from
Elba and Wellington was summoned
to command the forces Of the English
and allies in Belgium, in cooperation
with the Prussians under Butcher. The
battles Of Ligny and Quatre Bras were
followed by the battle of Waterloo,
June is, 1915, which finally shattered
the power of Napoleon. Wellington
was buried In st. Paul's cathedral, No.
vember IS, 1852.

PEOPLE IN EARTH'S INTERIOR7
Man Of Science Believed There Were,
and Sought Funds to Make
an investigation.

On November 10, 1922, one of the
most peculiar petitions ever presented
to congress was brought before that
other than request from John Cloves
Symmes, asking that aid be given him
TO make voyage 10 the interior of
the globe, which he believed to be in
habitable. He was permitted to lee
ture before Union college, at which he
expounded his theory, which, however,
was met with universal ridlcule.
Notwithstanding which he was great
ly respected as a man. He held that
all planetary bodies, including the
earth, are composed of concentric
spheres, open at their poles. In one
OF his memoirs he thus illustrates his
conception: with dividers describe q
plane Of matter of loose texture, and
In the center add very small circle;
draw line through the center. It is
evident that either half OF the inner
circle, being almost equally surround
ed by matter, must be very little grav-
itated centerwise, so being suspended,
only rotary motion is needed to
throw it compactly toward the outer
circle. This being admitted II follows
that half way from the outlet to the
inner side Of this circle Of matter thus
thrown out. a like rarity, suspension
or balance of gravity should prevail,
and hence disposition to concentric
circles; therefore 1t follows that sue
cessive similar subdivisions should ex-
list. gradually lessening in force and
quantity. BY applying this principle
to the earth ] find the necessity Of
hollow concentric spheres"

HARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY.

There was a great gathering
OF Maryland Democrats in Baltl-
more last Wednesday to confer
as TO the proper men TO nominate
for State offices. and TO get to-

Every county in the State from
Worcester to Garrett was repre-
scented and the keynote was
harmony" 1t was conceded
that with a harmonious party
the Democracy of Maryland will
be victorious and without "hMr-
mony" defeat is inevitable
Never did the people Of Mary
land need the Democratic party
in power more than now. as
there is an element awaiting the
defeat of the Democrats in the
County and State with a view of
throwing off. in case OF Republic
can victory. that restraint OF IL
cenSe and that respect for law
and order which has been de-
manded Of them by the Democ-
racy.
Thank God. the Democracy is
united in County and State and
the attempts Of some Very busy
Republicans to create discord
here is futile. and to create fac
tionS is a farce.
We are a united party repre-
Senting the best interests Of all

ecutors of the estate of John Carr,
miner, disagree over the disposition of
the profits of the mine. Morgan seek
ing the gold and Ethel, Carr's adopted
daughter, for himself and unsuspected
by Davis, whom Ethel really loves,
makes several sensational attempts
upon the life of Davis. Suspicion is di-
Verted to mysterious hermit They
all go to San Francisco to get machin-
cry for the mine. There Davis miracu-
lousy escapes more attempts upon his
life. Morgan conspires with a dock

Ethel, Morgan and Spider are kidnapped
by vengeful Hindus.

raising its latch he held his lantern
high and gazed ahead. An earthen
tunnel, sloping down, lay before him.
$50. this is how the fakirs got away
by the gods dupes," he muimured.
Closing the door behind him he stepped
into the passageway. A short distance
farther on the tunnel br0adened into
a shallow cave, with broken walls and
boulders scattered about. Here John
halted. Seeing nothing suspicious and
becoming aware that subdued light
was entering the place from the OPP
posite side, he again stepped forward.
Before him was an entrance well
he peered out. At that instant from
behind him four Hindus, rising from
their places of cOncealment where they
had dropped as they saw his light COM
ing down the passageway, threw them
selves upon him. Hearing their swift
ly approaching steps he whirled to
meet this new, danger, but was an in
slant too late. A club in the hand of
a herculean oriental fell upon his head
with a crash and he fell senseless upon
the ground.
Quickly he was bound, and this done

was addressed by his companions as
"Shere-Khan," motioned with one

disappeared, returning moment later
with the body of Shellum. This they
deposited at the side of the fallen one.
From a corner of the cave rude lit
senseless body of Davis was placed.
Shellum's turban was fitted upon his
head and the pointed native shoes of
the dead Hindu drawn upon his feet.
Then draping his body with the tunic
so that only the head and feet pro-
jected at either end, they left him and
devoted their attentions to their for
mer companion who had perished be-
fore the Indians big gun. Placing
Johns coatover Shellum, they carried
the corpse to niche in the wall and
there left it.
Returning to the unconscious one,
two seized the front OF the imprOviSed
litter, two the rear and gravely left
the cave, not noticing that their bare
feet left more or less distinct imprints
upon the soft ground.
Left alone in his vigil beside the
l. now sm0ldering fire, the Spider sat
under a tree smoking lazily. Present
ly his eyes wandered upward to the
limb, and as they did so thought
seemed to strike him, for putting his
pipe aside he arose. Shining up the
tree he worked his way out on the limb
until he came to where the remnant of
the rope still dangled, there pausing
and looking down. Followed mo-
Fment's reflection, whereafter he pulled
up the fragment of rope and inspected!
it. Extending half way through it he
saw cut such as could only have been
made by sharp-edged instrument. A
frown crossed his face.
"He's lower down than even l
thought him." he muttered as he let
the rope end fall.
Next he looked down into the ruins
of the temple. The blaze was dying

and the top of the altar ashes covered
was plainly revealed. A second glance
| showed him the pivoted stone still
partly open, and he uttered an excla-
nation of establishment.
"Well, I'll be hanged if he amt got
away again.
| Marveling over his discovery he de-
scended to the ground, cut down few
saplings and began making a sort of
bridge which started upward from the
ground and ran to the altar top, over
which the still hot debris was smoking
| This done, he began mounting it eau.
tiously. Gaining the top of the altar
| he saw how part of the arm of the
god had wedged the pivot, and began
kicking into the ashes, at the same
time saying:
swell, you were some good after all
old man."
Next he tested the pivot and found
it firm, and being satisfied that ii
would not close upon him and make
him prisoner, he dropped into the
| cellar as John had done.
The place was still dimly lighted by
the glow from above, and short
search discovered to him a fragment
| of candle. This he lighted and pro-
| ceeded down the pasSageway, follow
| ing in the tracks of Davis. He arrived
at the cave and proceeded to search
the same, soon later running across the
| dead body of Shellum which was COW
cred by Johns coat The coat he at
once recognized. Locking at the torn
and footprint-marked floor, he saw the
heavy imprints of Johns shoes mingled
with the tracks of the bare feet of the
natives; further exploration revealing
where the Hindu's had cut poles and
made litter. He began soliloquizing
"Davis fell through the altar and
came here. He was attacked by the
Hindus and put UP a big fight, but
| they made him Il prisoner, put some
Of the dead mans clothes on him and
took him away. Now | wonder why?
Not being able to solve the propos.-
| ton further, he retraced his steps
climbed out of the altar and rode
away. Meeting man upon the road
the Spider stopped him.
"Seen any Hindus passing this way
partner?' he asked as he refined in his
| horse. The man nodded.
yep. / seen four heathens carrying

On rode the Spider to the Mackenzie
hotel, throwing open the door Of the
apartment and looking in. Ethel, still
| nearly FRUSTRATED by grief, was lying
on a couch, with Morgan roughly try
| ing to console her and Rainface sit
| ting silently in a corner. At the
| Spiders entrance all started to theil
| feet, the girl first of all. Bellas ap-
preached her with smile.
'Tve got good news for you, miss
| Davis didn't die in the fire." he said
| She threw up her hands, sobbing, cry
ing Historically.
"Oh. thank God! Thank God"
"What do you mean?" demanded
Morgan, a devil of rage in his heart al
this news. The Spider began explain
