WON BY sHAMMING INSANITY
How Two British Officers Fooled Their
Turkish captors by Period Of
Feigned Madness.

Are they really lunatics or brilliant
actors?
Sceptical Turks and British asked
the question as they looked at the
weird, CHASTITY figures Of Lieutenant
Jones and Lieutenant Hill in the
prisoners ward OF Turkish hospital
in the early days of the war;.
Here is picture of Lieutenant Hill,
as described by another British off,
Ger:
"A tOusled scarecrow of a man. His
long. untrimmed hair hung over his
unwashed neck, his cheeks were sunk
en-. his hands were clasped over the
bed-clothes that covered his shins. He
never looked at us. but with an express
sion of the most answering austerity
continued to read book that lay
open on his knees. AS passed l saw,
from the ruling and paragraphing OF
the pages, that it must be copy of
the Bible"
zones was In q bed opposite. His
face was unusually white. The young
forehead was divided and subdivided
by deep wrinkles; golden beard
tufted from the chin; the head was
covered by a too large fez, made OF
white linen.
"He grinned and waved an arm
toward the Turkish orderly. 4 am not
English he protested, in Turkish. 4
am good Turk. The English are my
enemies. wrote to his excellency En-
yer Pasha, telling him l wished to be-
come Turkish officer"
The reputation of these two officers
as lunatics had spread through every
prison-camp in Turkey, says the writer
who tells the story in "Blackwood's
Magazine" But they were not mad.
They were feigning madness the whole
time in order to recover their free
dom And they won through.
AS soon as the British vessel on
which they were shipped had left
Turkish waters they miraculously re-
covered!
1t was one of the most amazing
cases of malingering on record. The
marvel is that Hills mind did not give
way under the ordeal. For twelve
hours day he sat up in bed reading
and re-reading the Bible. He showed
no signs of interest in anything; pray
ed aloud for nearly half an hour morn
ing and evening in the presence of
dozen people, and never smiled
n task which required almost inhuman
concentration. Jones, on the other
hand. acted farce instead Of tragedy,
and both men completely duped the
Turks.

Prehistoric Culture in ohio.

Digging into the tomb of a mound
builder chief near Newark, o., scien-
lists recently discovered ancient
trinkets which they declare establish
the fact that the stone-age inhabitants
of the locality belonged to the same
tribe whose earth monuments are
found in other parts of the state,
notably Ross county, where similar re-
search work has disclosed surprising
evidence of prehistoric culture. The
sepulcher is located near the flint quar-
ries from which abOrigines obtained
material for arrOwheads and other i'm
plements. 1t is made of small stones
and is buried in circular mound in
earth about thirteen feet high. The
chiefs skeleton indicated that he
was man nearly six feet tall and
over average weight. Underneath the
bones was found what is considered
the most important article taken from
the excavation, a copper gorget, be-
lieved to have been a token of authori-
ty or rank. Other objects of interest
were copper earrings, an armlet of the
same material and beads made from
sea shells. which evidently had been
worn as neckpiece, and are describ-
ed in Popular Mechanics.

Alrman's Record Glide.

What is believed to be worlds
record for gliding with a dead motor
was accomplished at Ithaca, N. Y, in
ThOmas-MOrse two-seater biplane,
says the Scientific American. This
machine flew to the head of Cayuga
lake, distance of thirty-fve miles,
and having attained height Of II 800
feet, the pilot switched Off his motor
and glided to Ithaca. at which point
he still had 5000 feet altitude. If his
glide had been continued 1t is esti-
mated that an additional fifteen miles
could have been covered, making a to-
tai Of fifty miles without the use of his
motor. The longest glide previously
recorded was that of Capt. Raynham,
according to Aeronautics when he
glided from Brooklands to Hendon, in
England. distance of twenty-five
miles.
