Burglars Drop Guns.

Investigation showed both burglars
had dropped their revolvers on the
floor at the sound Of Mrs. Martins
voice. In the dining room was their
loot sack crammed with jewelry and
silverware valued at several thousand
dollars.
One of the burglars, Charles Bray
ton, has a long police record and has
been sought repeatedly for numerous
burglaries and holdups throughout the
city. He gave his address at 213 East
Forty-eighth street, but that was
found to be fictitious.
The other, Edward Sander, who al
so gave a fictitious address, declared
he was an amateur burglar"

DOGS FIND STILL AND DRINK
Police Wonder When CANNES staager
Along Streets In an Oregon

Baker, Ore.-With dogs blear-eyed
and wobbly In their underpinnings,
staggering along suburban streets
and in other ways acting queer, police
officers are beginning to take notice of
a serious condition of the canine popu-
lation Of Baker.
In recent days many Of the unfor-
tunate brutes have been sent to the
pound and tho last one captured had
to be killed. Every symptom points to
their being drunk, and the belief is
that the keen scent of these four
legged tiplers has "nosed" out q moon

And now the officers are taking pre-
cautions to prevent two-legged animals
Of another species acting In a similar

Damascus Is Oldest City.

Twenty-seven centuries have passed
into history since the founding Of
Rome. Damascus was an ancient city
when the Roman empire was founded.
The mysterious pyramids and the still
more mysterious and awe-inspiring
sphinx have reared their towering and
massive outlines above the shifting
sands of Egypt for more than 5000
years. Damascus is older than they
are. Compared to Damascus the great
well of China is a work of modern
construction, and this also applies to
the cities of northern and western Eu-
rope, while the Oldest cities of the
western hemisphere r as saplings
compared to an old oak.

The Dead sea isn't really dead
after all. Ancient writer's established
a myth that it was an abode Of death
that nothing could live on it's shores
and even the birds flying over it would
drop dead.
But all this has been disproved by
q well-knowh scientist, DIR. E. W. G
Masterman. He says that it Is true
that nothing can flourish where the
waters are deepest because of the
salt, but near the shores, where the
water is %brackish, small fish, crabs
ETC., are found.
A few years ago a crowd of tour
lists saw fish swimming about in the
sea and they signed a declaration tc
this effect. And at many spots along
the shore acres of reeds and trees
flourish, and in these places animal
and bird life is abundant.

Fay protested and Mrs. Bob re-
treated. Fay begged to be told what
his business was, she pouted and said
she was Jealous. Tom didn't tell her,
because he felt that she would not
realize that business such as that
could claim him. Finally it was agreed,
however.
His business, he told her, meant a
solitary hour or so spent in the wood
land swamp, and strangely enough so
did hers. So, after dinner they ven
tured forth, both donning rubber boots
before they went, and Stanley taking a
lantern, in case the moon should be
hidden by one of the clouds that were
rising in the misty sky.
The fact was that for several weeks
now there had been thieving going on.
There were some water lily roots
which Stanley had been cultivating-
in fact, he had been the first to es-
tablish them in this climate-that had
been stolen from a stretch of marsh
land that was a part of his land. Al
ways the theft took place on Saturday
night. His man had tried to discover
the thief, and then for a week Tom
had patrolled the marshes, but he felt
that as the theft had taken place on
the three preceding Saturdays he
would have better success if he sought
the thief on that night.
1--WE must walk up through this
thicket first" said Fay when they
started out. "Tll tell you now 1t is a
beautiful surprise. You told me you
would like it if I studied up on water
lilies. Well, / have been doing it, and
I've been scouting around and I've
found some most beautiful pink ones
that come out only at night. l pulled
some up last week and the other week
ends, and I wanted first to find out
what they were before I showed them
to you. But I couldn't. Besides, they
always close when I get home. So I
wanted to take you to them"
did you manage to pull them up by
the roots?" asked Stanley, with a catch
in his voice that Fay did not detect.
They were, he saw, the roots that it
had cost him so much in money and
patience to establish.
Eyes, | got root and all, because !
thought that would help me to identify
them. 1t was hard, but I did It."
"Don't let's pull that one up" sug-
gested Stanley as Fay pointed out the
last of his most choice roots that he
had imported from the ends of the
world. Lets leave it there so we can
always come back and see it."
"And now let's attend to your bust
ness" said Fay, rather disappointed
that Stanley had shown no more en-
thusiasm, but blissfully ignorant of the
real situation.
"Oh, my business" echoed Stanley
"Why, for that matter, it is quite set
tied. Perhaps the reason I wanted to
bring you out in these woods was be-
cause it would seem a little easier to
ask the girl I love to marry me right
herein this misty moonlight"
And Fay agreed with him.

Chicago.-She's not knee-high to the

her over backward had she pulled its
trigger.
Yet Mrs. Oliver T. Martin, wife of.
a wealthy tobacconist living at 1874
East F~ifty-eighth street, had the nerve.
And that enabled her to capture two
burglars, one of whom the entire POI
lice force. has been trying and failing
to capture for several months.
1t happened thus:
Mrs. Martin was in her husbands
store at 316 East Fifty-eighth street.
A neighbor telephoned that two bur-
glars were %ransacking her apartment.
Gets Out Big Pistol.
She notified the Wabash avenue po-
lice and directed them to meet her in
the vestibule Of the building. Selling
a big automatic pistol, she rushed to
the rendezvous.
Policemen Edward Mcclure, Pat
rick McInerney and Thomas Cassidy
were there ringing the doorbell when
she arrived.
Don't do that. You'll alarm them,"
cried Mrs. Martin. Lets catch 'em,
dead or alive" She held the big gun
steadily and led the way to the sec
ond floor.
The Martin apartment was dark and
silent when the plucky woman unlock
ed the door softly. She crept in ahead
Of the policemen and stopped to listen.
A slight noise came from the library.
Are any burglars in there" Mrs.
Martin demanded to know. She
switched on the reception hall light.

Brass Best Alloy.

Brass is perhaps the best-known
and most useful alloy. 1t is formed by
fusing together copper and zinc. Diff
ferent proportions of these metals
produce brasses possessing very
marked distinctive properties. The
portions of the different ingredients
are seldom precisely alike; these de-
pend upon the requirements Of various
uses for which the alloys are intended.
Peculiar qualities of the constituent
metals also exercise influence on the

Can Wear Masks and Smoke.

For persons who wea influenza
masks and desire to smoke, Edward
T. Duncan suggests a way, which
is described in Popular Science
Monthly. Get two corn plasters and
stick them on the mask, one inside, one
outside, and bore a hole through the
mask to fit the holes in the plasters.
Through this hole a cigarette can be
smoked. 1t can be corked when not
in use.
