Many deaths have occurred in noun

Are You
SuperStitiOus?
By MOGENE BURCH


/ he did not know. but. he would add.
the first kind Of a ring TO be worn
was the signet ring.
One of the earliest uses to which
rings were put was to make an i'm
preston OF an engraved design or de-
vice upon letters or documents. When
ever an ancient monarch wished to
give validity to a certain royal decree.
ne would take off his huge seal ring
and make an impression with It upon
the document After that no one dared
to dispute the mandate.
A curious superstitious use to which
signet rings were put is told in Plu-
tarch's Lives. A number Of signet
rings were thrown into a heap. and
one was pulled out at random, the de-
sign which the signet bore being in
trepreted as a favorable or unfavor-
able omen.
In one Of the campaigns against the
creeks, the enemy troops had taken
up a strong position behind a river
Wnlch the Roman troops were forced
10 lord To see whether or not the at
tack would be successful. all the sig
net rings belonging to the offiCe rs
were cast into a pile Fortunately the
one that was drawn out bore the fig
ure or a trophy. This was hailed as q
good omen; the stream was forded i'm
petiously; and the attack was so
vigorous that the enemy were over
whelmed in no time at all.
A novel idea for a seal or signet
ring finds expression IS the ring worn
by President Wilson on which he has
mad his name engraved in stenograph-
&c symbols This is in through agree
ment with his aim to utilize business
methods in the administration OF ma
tional affairs; to do away with rou-
tine and TO take the most direct route

I AXE BAIKAL is the great lake Of
Il Russia in more than one sense. It
IS the deepest lake in the world. and
one Of the largest, and besides it is,
to the Russians. holy. The people
who inhabit the region of Lake Bal

and its surroundings are endowed
with supernatural powers and inhab-

Of weird tales mingle with their ex-

they say. the whole Of Lake Baikai
would pour out Of its basin and flood
the river and probably the continent.
Yet even without native interpret
tation many things are strange about
the great Russian lake. One of
Baikafs phenomena is a species Of
fish that inhabits the deepest part.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1919-07-28

These fish have been seen by few
persons. for as soon as they are lifted
out Of their accustomed atmosphere
Of high water pressure they explode.
Lake Baikal has played an import
ant part in Russian affairs. 1t lies
directly in the way across the con-
tinent and before the railway was
built around the southern end OF the
lake it had to be crossed by Siberian
travellers going either east or west.
In summer. steamers carried freight
and passengers. but in winter the
lake was icebound. traffic depended
on the slow work OF an icebreaker-

feet thick. and when the ice became
too thick for the breaker. sledges
