WATERLOO HERO
 OUT OF ATTIRE
 AT LONDON BALL

If you are sure of yourself and what you can do-this is the power of self-poisei No greater illustration of this occurs in history than a ques- ton and answer that passed between Wellington and an aide-de-camp on tho eve of the Battle of Talvera Tn the Peninsular (Spanish) War, July 27, 1872. It was wo o'clock in the morning. Wellington took out his watch, and turned to his aide, "How long will it be before Joseph Bona parte can thunder up on us?" "One half hour, your grace" ''Then I will turn in and take twenty minutes sleep" answered Wellington with the fate of the War in hand. When the Great Napoleon heard of this in Vien- na, he said "''It would seem tkat that Wellington is a man. The battle of Talvera prepared the way for the smooth entrance of Wellington as conqueror into Madrid on August 1z, 1913. Wellington's respect for orders was a superb illustration of the sol- dier Upon his return to London af- ter the battle of Waterloo, when the British Isles went wild about him, and London stood for hours to see him enter or pass out of his residence, the hero of Waterloo presented him self one night at Almack's The balls at Almack's were the creations of the fashionable world for half a century. Not to get into Almack's was to be outside of society. As Wellington's s coach rolled up the order of Europe blazed upon his breast; but he was in simple evening dress. The footman at the entrance turned white about the gills. He looked silly with fright. He knew the Duke" but he had to an atf in pf Grace can't get in" Whats the matter ?'' asked Wellington. Your Grace, every gentleman has to have shorts (court knee breeches) to get into Almack's.'

CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH OPENS CROSS
 COUNTRY ROUTE

The first regular transportation route from the Atlantic to the Pa cific by way of Nicaragua was open cd sixty eight years ago yesterday, as a result of the great rush to California caused by the discovery of gold, and the new route by way of Nfcaraguan lakes and rivers soon became a rival of the Panama route. The project of building a canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific across Nicaragua was discussed as early as a century ago. The United States favored the Ntc- araguan canal for some time, but fin ally abandoned the project in favor of the Panama route. The first Mic araguaa canal company was formed in 1s4s, but failed. and the project was not revived until 1887, when a new company was formed. Actual work was commenced in 1890, but little was accomplished. The Republican party in 1898 urged ti1e completion of the canal and a commission reported that the canal could be built for from s11s, 100000 to s135.0oO.00o. A later commission, however, reported in fa- ,vor of the Panama route,

METEOR CAUSED TOWN TO EXPECT
 END OF WORLD
Citizens of Amherst Feared Bible Prophecy Had
 Come True.

On August 13. 1919, the hIIl town of Amherst, Mass, was scared as white as a diamond, for Amherst said: The end of the world has come" A large meteor of uncom- mon brilliancy had fallen from the heavens, and with a terrific crash. Amherst recalled the striking words in the Bible, The stars shall fall from heaven before the Last Trum- pet and the Judgment" A meteor or shooting star, one of the most fasci- hating sights across the Armament is composed of stone mixed with me- tallic iron. A meteor contains ele- ments that are found on the earth, iron and it's compounds. It is ren- dcred tncandescent by It's rapid flight
 through our atmosphere. The great modern discovery in regard to me- .teors leads to the conclusion that they are the disintegrated debris of comets. The showers of meteors originate in the great consultations, as of Perseus, or Andromeda. The idea that the vast spaces between the sun and the various planets are void and unten- anted, belongs only to the effete his tory of science. Today it is known that these spaces are filled with vast swarns of minute dustlike bodies, each and every one revolving about the sun in vast eclipses, each one in fact being a microscopic planet. These bodies make their presence known as meteors or shooting stars. The larg- est known meteor in the world is in
 the American Museum of Natural History in New York. It is the ia mous "Aghnito'' a mass of meteoric iron weighing 37 tons. It was found in the ice fields of the Arctic by Esuuimaux, and brought from Green land by Lieut.. Robert T.. Peary. The most sacred stone in the word to mil lions of Mohammedans, and which marks the focus of the faith of all Islam is a meteor. It is the celebrat: ed Black Stone, which forms part of the sharp angle of the Ka-bah in the Temple of Mecca. The Ka-bah is sacred carpet renewed every year, and which contains the celebrated Black Stone. This stone, says Islam, was given by the Angel Gabriel. When it came down from Paradise it was winter than milk, but has be- come black by the sins of those who have touched it. It is worn smooth by the millions of kisses it has re- ceived, for every Mohammedan must fin his life. Mecca, the sacred city. is in the new Kingdom of Arabia, un- der the rule of the Arab King of the Hedjac, whose son sat at the Peace Conference in Paris, just concluded.
