Endurance.

Though nation may be bought and
solo, deceived or betrayed, oppressed
or beggared, and In every other sense
undone, all is not lost If a sense Of
national honor survives the general
ruin. Even an individual cannot be
crushed by events or overwhelmed by
adversely If, in the wreck and ruin of
his fortune. the character of the man
remains unblemished. That force is
elastic, and, with the help of resolu-
ton, will raise him again out Of any
depth of calamity. But If the injured
sufferer, whether 1t be a great or a
little community, a number of individ-
uals or a single person. be content to
submit in silence, and to endure with
out resentment-if no complaints shall
be uttered, no murmur shall be heard,
deploratum est-there must be some
thing celestial In the spirit that rises
from that descent.-Junius.

at night from restaurant whose own

ferty, relating the experience. in the
restaurant l found sitting on high
stool at the counter an elderly man
who was weeping into his plate con-
tanning the remnants of what evidently
had been a hard boiled egg.

soggy individual and he answered be-
tween choking sobs 4 weep to think

reredo, ship Eater.

Although 1t was declared that wood
en- ships could be built fast enough and
strong enough to outwit the subma-
rine, they cannot be built to escape
their own most deadly enemy, the ship
worm, or teredo. This animal or worm
eats away the wooden ship in much the
same manner that cancer eats away
the human body, but 1t is so small
when 1t first inserts itself into the wood
that the closest inspection fails to
show the warning pin hole. Once in
the wood, however, 1t eats its way
along, growing steadily, and when a
quantity of these tiny worms get into
a ship they turn 1t into a veritable
sponge honeycombed by tunnels.
The teredO is more common on the
western coast than on this, and cop
per or so-called copper paint Is said
to be the one way to protect wooden
ships from becoming infested.

Slaves In AbyssInla.

The inhabitants of the Gemira
country In Abysslnia are pagans. They
appear to believe In divinity inhabit-
ing the sky-not to be Identified with
the Wah of the Galla-and also in
secondary genii dwelling on the earth.
slavery is not officially recognized. but
1t exists in fact, though with some ex.
tenuation in form. The slave is not
free to change his master; he is put
In chains If suspected of an intention
Of escaping; he is beaten If he does
not work or march at the will of his
master, and he receives no pay. On
the other hand, If he can be present
ed" he cannot be openly sold, and
must be designated gabare ("subject'D
not baria ("slave"). Even these DIFF
ferences disappear in distant prov
inces like Gemira, and in times of dis
order. Those who will not submit live
as fugitives In the forests.

Lieutenant ScheutZe, who was a
member of United States naval ex-
petition sent into the arctic In search
of the exploration ship Jeanette. re-
ports the discovery of ivory mines
in group of islands lying northeast
of the Lena river, situated in north
east Siberia. Vast numbers of man.

cred buried in sea of Ice, and II
is held that, for a short period each
year, probably a few weeks, these
mammoths could be mined" with
great profit, owing to the immensely
of the tusks. four times the size of
those of the elephant of this age, and
because of the great value of ivory at
present. An ivory mining" expedi-
ton would doubtless furnish all the

could possibly desire.

could figure out the surface of the

exactly how much paint would be

Gibbs figured out that it would take
90 gallons of various colors to do the
work. He ordered up a wagon load
of paint and began.
'When Gibbs got through painting
he found that he had 81 gallons still
untouched But as he had opened all
the cans as soon as he got them, he
could not return them to the paint

Radium Production In United States.
G. H. Viol, writing in Science, states
that the total production of radium
element in the United States down to
1919 is about IS grams, which is
probably more than half the total
radium produced In the world. Dur
ing the war, with no carnotite exports,
the greatest part of the worlds ra-
dunn supply has been produced in this
country. In 1913 the United States
produced 1873 grams With regard to
discussion that has occurred con-
corning the amount of radium that
can be produced from the carnotite
fields. Mr.. Viol says that the carno-
tite holdings of the Standard Chemical
company, which comprise about $50
claims and are the largest holdings I'M
der the control Of a single concern,
are estimated to be capable Of yield
ing at least 500 grams of radium.-

SEARCH FOR AUTOMOBILE DRIVER

both said to show signs of intoxica- ton, and one of them at once boarded a trolley car for New London that happened to come along just then. The other was slightly cut around the face and had to go to the office of pr. John J. Donohue to have his hurts at tended to. When he returned to the car he found Inspector Bradford there and told him he would go to New Lon- don to send someone up to clear away the wreck. The inspector waited till o'clock in the morning and as noth- ing had been done to have the car removed thought it about time to mo- tify MT. Doyle by telephone.
 The car owner was greatly surprised to be told that his limousine was & wreck up on the Montville road and said that he supposed 1t was in the garage to which he had ordered Carl doing some work Saturday.
 MT. Bradford inquired of Mir. Doyle about the Doyle trucks and the New all right in the garage. but the next day found that a 3 Hilton Atterbury truck was missing. It is supposed that CarIing must have gone to the garage and used tke truck to make a get away as he feared the consequences from the snashup with the limousine.

Where Fred J. Carling of New Lon don is is a question that automobile authorities and officers of that city would like to have answered so that he could answer two questions One is to explain his use of the automo- bile belonging to Michael J. Doyle of Blydenburg avenue, New London, with which he ran into machine operated by Edward W. Jewett of 135 West Thames street, this city, last Saturday night in Montvi1le. The other is to explain where MT. Doyle's 1-2-ton truck is which was found missing from the Doyle garage last Monday.
 Cariing and the Doyle automobile, which is a Velie limousine, figured in a sensational automobile smash on the Montville road Saturday night. and up to Tuesday his whereabouts had not been located although the New London police and Deputy Automobile Inspec- tor George H. Bra dford of Montville had been looking for him.
 MT. Jewett was driving from New London to this city Saturday night and had reached the curve on the Montville road just north of the rail- road crossing at the Uncasville mill property when the Doyle car. registry No. 64,753, with Carling driving. came from the opposite direction at such speed that it shot straight across the curve and took the Jewett car in the side as he was turning as far he could to the right to get out Of the Tay.
 Two men were in the Doyle car.
