SECOND PHANTOM SHIP
"FLYING pUTCHMAN" SAID TO
HAVE A RIVAL
Both French and Yankee Ffshermen
ehun Cove Where They Believe
the GhostIy Vessel Seeks
Refuge.

II is said that the French fisher
men from the Magdalen islands and
the matter-of-fac Yankee shippers of
Bangor alike shun the shores Of Bay
Chaleur after dark and refuse to put
in at Dead Mans cove, under any cir
cumstances, preferring to run the risk
of laundering In a hurricane in the
open sea to sharing the shelter OF the
cove with the phantom ship"
This famous specter of the sea is
said TO appear only In the calm pre-
ceding q great storm with every stitch
of canvas drawing and her decks
swarming with men, all running to and
fro as IL in a panic. Ahead Of her the
water is like glass, behind her the
gale comes tearing along, beating up
the sea into froth and driving her
straight on through everything In her
way. She is an ancient model, full
rugged and gray all over-hull, upper
works, sails and spars-as II formed
Of fog. Gray, too, is her CHASTITY crew.
The inhabitants of st. Pierre tell Of
a smack on a herring trip that found
herself right in the track of the "phan'
tom ship" Captain and crew had heard
of the ghostly vessel, but scoffed at It,
and when they say her loom up in the
twilight straight ahead they thought q
collision imminent and the startled
steersman put the helm over. The sea
wrath swept down upon them, and In
the space Of a breath had passed right
through them and was racing madly
astern in the direction Of Dead Mans
cove. A fishing schooner from Magda-
len island, warned by the thickening
sky of an approaching storm, put In
at the cove to ride out the gale. Be-
fore II had reached an anchorage a
ship was seen coming rapidly behind.
also heading for the cove. AS it drew
near the captain got out his glass to
see II he knew the stranger. Suddenly

was the cabin boy. "Oh. get up; get

Gives Weed-PuUIng Party.

A fad that is likely to meet with ap-
prevail, especially by the City Beauti-
full club, was launched at Pasadena,
CAL, when Mrs. P. N. Hanson of Park
wood boulevard entertained with q
"weed-pulling' party.
With a lawn knee-deep in clover,
d~andelions and dozens of other kinds
of weeds, Mrs. Hanson decided to get
rid of them with one fell swoop, but
the only way to do SO was to have q
party and show her guests how much
fun 1t was to pun weeds.
So more than a dozen neighbors
were turned loose In a weedy lawn,
and after they had pulled up the last
parasite they were rewarded for their
labor with q delicious hot lunch. The
other guests plan to return the avor
by giving weed-pulling parties also.

Novel Gas Holders.

The floating bell form of gas holder,
with it's t~elescoping sections, water
tank seal for the lower edge and elab-
crate framing for guiding the cylinder,
is a very expensive structure, and 1t
has not been evident how 1t could be
improved. A new principle has, how
ever, been devised that greatly sim.
plifes the construction and reduces
the cost. Instead of being movable,
the tank is fixed, and its roof is NOV
able, sliding up and down within. This
roof is fitted as closely as possible.
and to prevent the gas escaping wa
ter is pumped on to it. thus forming
a water seal. or course. some water
passes through the joint, but this is
withdrawn and returned to the roof by
a pump regulated to compensate for
the leakage.

ITO begin with, u factory town
isn't a town at all. It's a huge barn
of buildings stuck down in the country

BOHEMIA WOULD DIVIDE
UP ALL GREAT ESTATES

Prague. May 27.-There is a heat
ed controversy throughout Bohemia
over the question of dividing up the
great estates held by the land own
ing magnates OF this section OF
Czecho-Slovakia. The greater part
of the land in Bohemia is in the
hands OF these large land owners and
there is a widespread demand that
the estates shall be taken over by
the state and in some way put in
the hands Of the poorer classes.
The people are all the more insis-
tent that this action should be taken
because the land owners. for the
most part, have been open enemies
OF the Czech nationalities and have
been faithful satellites Of the Haps.
burg dynasty which oppressed Bo-
heMla LOT TOUR centuries.
One OF the first acts Of. the new
government was to appoint com
mission to make recommendation
for reform in land owning. The
commission now has reported recon-
mending that the great estates
should be bought by the state and
that no land owners should be al
lowed to hold more than about 625
acres. The question as to what
amount the state should pay these
land owners for the land 1t expropri.
ates in this compulsory fashion has
caused serious differences Of opin.
ion. All but few extremists cor
cede that the land should be paid
for.

NATIONS SCHEME FOR
RICH TOBACCO FIELDS

Kavalla, Macedonia. May 27.-
There are so many Americans in Ka-
valla, the first city in the Balkans
to become basis for American Red
Cross operations. that 1t has some
OF the aspects of real American
city. Here the finest tobacco in the
worid-the bulk OF which is con-
sumed in Americas grown. Here
the great American tobacco COM
panies have export headquarters.
For years Bulgaria has looked up
on Kavalla with covetons eye. Al
though defeated and subdued. she
looked hopefully to the peace con-
gress at Paris to give her Kavalla
as a port. Kavalla Is not harbor
but Bulgaria which now has only the
shallow port OF Dedeagatch. at the
mouth OF the Gulf OF Enos, is an
Nious to get any outlet through Ma
cedona and the sea for her large out
put of tobacco, wheat, livestock, silk
and altar OF roses. and would be
quite ready to spend any sum in de-
veloping and deepening the harbor.
During the war the Bulgars adopt
ed in Kavalla the same ruthless prac-
tices they followed in all occupied
territory. They pillaged and des-
troyed. They made every effort to
make the land uninhabitable. They
out down the trees and carried off
furniture and everything made OF
wood. They sacked the homes and
drove the Greek inhabitants out,

no section OF the Balkans ever pre-
sented more depressing picture OF
misery and squalor. The Americans
found the inhabitants dying by the
dozen from famine. exposure and
typhus. They established sour
Kitchens and dispensaries and gave
out tens OF thousands of American,
