Historic Port Of Gloucester Likely to
Come Back With the American
Merchant Marine.

The historic port Of Gloucester,
Mass, is likely to be restored to its
one-time maritime glory as the Amert-
can merchant marine expands. A bull
letin Of the National Geographic So
ciety calls Gloucester the mother Of
American fisheries. The story of Glou-
cester's fisher folk is touched on by
Kipling in his Captains Courageous"
James B. Connolly, and Mrs. Ward, in
"Old Maids Paradise" Norman's Woe,
on Gloucester, is the scene of numer-
Gus deep sea tragedies touched on by
Longfellow in his "Wreck of the Hes
perus."
Schooners are said to have orig
mated In Gloucester and to have been
so named by a Gloucester shipwright
who, when he launched a vessel, heard
a spectator explain: ooh, how she
scoons." The expression was used to
describe the bounding Of a pebble
thrown sidewise into the water.
Gloucester has a floral curiosity Of
great beauty and fragrance, the mag
noiia glaucus, which grows In the
swamps near the city. Among the
natural wonders that Gloucester dis
closes are Rates. chasm, where the
pounding waves churn and rumble

HELPED PERRY WIN VICTORY
Peter Tarr Made the Cannon Balls
That Served So Well in the
Fight on Lake Erie.

When Commodore Perry defeated
the British on Lake Erie, his gunners
turned the trick largely with home
made cannon balls, although at the
time of the engagement the place
where the deadly missiles were made
was a closely guarded secret.
Accidental discovery a few days ago
Of a small antiquated iron furnace
near Steubenville, however, reveals
the secret and adds a new chapter to
the historical sketches Of Perry's VIC
tory. The furnace was found by men
engaged in erecting furnaces for
large West Virginia steel company on
the Tarr farm in Hancock county,
West Virginia, directly across the
river from Steubenville. 1t is said to
have been the first iron furnace In
use this side of the Allegheny noun
tains, and to have been built by Peter
Tarr, one of the earliest settlers
along the eastern banks Of the Ohio
river.
Old records In Hancock county
show that Peter Tarr worked day and
night at his secret task of making
cannon balls from ore deposits found
in the hillsides about the furnace, and
that he sent them overland on mules
to Commodore Perry's forces hiding
near Putin Bay and Kelley's island,
awaiting an opportune time to strike
the decisive blow at the British naval
forces.

CoId!-Sure.

On one of our most recent cold Sat.
urdays the tenderfoot rank boy scouts
Of Terre Haute made an all-day hike
along the Wabash. They were de-
scribing the hike for the benefit of
some Of their most interested friends.
They had described the city blasts
from the river, the frozen ground and
the various sensations produced on
their spinal columns without winning
what they regarded sufficient sympa-
thy from their listeners. Just as they
were most disappointed their execu-
tive took part. "Why 1t was so cold
that we had to break the ice off the
pancake batter between frying cakes"
he calculated.
And then the audience was moved
to speech.-Indianapolis News.

Painless Dentistry.

AN American at home, with or with
out toothache, is not much affected by
the sign, Painless Dentistry but at
sight of it in foreign land
he thrills pleasurably," a traveller
said. Its lure is not profession
al. Every tooth in his head may
be perfectly sound, yet if stranded and
homesick he welcomes that sign be-
cause all over Europe 1t is a sure
indication that somewhere In the
neighborhood lives a citizen of the
United States. From the northern
most town Of Norway and Sweden to
the boundaries of Sahara the words
painless dentistry are likely to hit
you In the eye at the most unexpected
turning. Usually they are followed or
preceded by American but that quail
flying term Is entirely unnecessary.
Dentists of other countries make no
pretense of performing painless dem
tistry, or If they do they do not adver-
tise their skill. They leave that for
their American rivals"
