CIVIL WAR MYSTERY SOLVED

A mystery fifty-seven years old
has been solved by the finding of
the mummified body in hollow
whiteoak tree of Jean La Rue, farm
hand at lie Seuer Mimi, who disap-
peared in August, 1862.
On the day of his disappearance
troops enroute up the river fright
ered the natives by discharSiuS
their rifles. 1t was at the time of
the Sioux Indian uprising and the
natives. La Rue among them, pre-
cipitately fled, supposing that the
firing was by hostile Indians on the
warpath.
A week ago. when farm hands
cut down a big oak tree, they found
the body of La Rue in mummificd
condition in the hollow space within
the trunk. On the body was a diary
in which was the following nota-
ton:
Cannot get out. Surely must die.
If ever found, send me and all my
money to my mother. Nine. Suzanne

ince OF Bouches du Rhone, France.

KNOWN MENTION
OF CIGARS MADE IN 1910
[Detroit NeWS.

The earliest known mention of
cigars is in Il book published in 1740,
under the title of "Distresses ana
Adventures of John Cocllburn." 1t
appears that Cockburn was cast on
n desert island in the bay of Hon
duras. from which he swan to the
mainland, and then travelled afoot
TO Porto Bello, a distance of 2600
miles. Here he met some fliars
who gave him some "seegars" to
moke. These" he says, ARE
some leaves of tobacco rolled up in
some manner that serves both as
pipe and the tobacco itself" Tho
this is the earliest date at which
cigars appear to be mentioned by
that name. so far back as 1898 two
soldiers sent by Columbus to explore
Cuba told their companions on their
return how the natives carried in
their mouths n lighted flre-brand

FISH AT GREAT DEPTHS
NOT POSSESSED OF EYES

The inhabitants of the ocean differ in
many respects, according to the depth
at which they live. but most of all in
their powers of vision.
Fish that live at very great depths
have either no eyes at all or enormously
big ones. There are two methods of
getting about in the gloomiest abysses
by delicate organs of touch, or by
sight, that collects the few rays of
light due to phosphorescence or other
accidental sources.
At this depth, in fact sight Is virtu
ally useless. In the greatest abysses
the fish are usually blind. feeling their
way about solely by means of their
sensitive bodies. Some. indeed, show
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-08-29

signs externally of having once pos.
sessed eyes, but that is all.
In others-the oldest and most con-
firmed abysmal species-the eye has
disappeared altogether externally.
though traces of it are still to be rec.
ogniZed. embedded deeply in the tissues
Of the head.
Many deep.sea fish have curious
system of hollows in the skull or about
the body which hold n kind of phos.
phorescent slime. Others have round
or oval shining opalescent spots, placed
on the head or along the. body or tail.
All of them are abundantly supplied
with nerves, and they are apparently
organs for the production of phos-
phorescent light If so, such y fish
must swim about surrounded by faint
glow, somewhat like that thrown off
by luminous paint.
One scientist even suggests that these
fish may have the power of directing
their rays in any direction. like a
searchlight.-Tid Bits.

Shortage OF STEEL

shortage Of labor in the steel ,indug-

"In one day" Foster declared,
nearly 1000 fOFeign-bOrn workmen
left McKeesport, either TO enter in
dustrfes' or to return to their native
lands. Comparatively large numbers
are departing from other steel cen
ters."
This statement, one OF the very few
in which strikers and employers
agree, was borne out By authoritative
information from some mills that for
eign labor had almost entirely dis

As the FIRST month OF the nations
great Industrial struggle draws to a
close, Foster admitted some new men
were returning to mills.
Many large mills in this district
claim to be operating at 100 per cent
others claim to be approaching the
capacity mark slowly, while not a
single mill would admit being en-
tirly shut down.
