n one-thousandth of an inch. In
order to form a base to which meas
urements can be referred from year
to year, brass plugs are set in the
pavement where readings are desired.
Readings are taken by resting the
bearing plates on the roads surface
and allowing the plunger to rest on
the base plate Of the plug. The in
strument is plumbed with the aid Of
a level and the spanner bar is held
parallel to the center line of the road.
Other readings may be taken with the
bar at right angles to the center line
of the road.
An important advantage Of this in
strument Is that accurate data can be
acquired rapidly and without inter
rupting traffic. The base plate in the
pavement Is protected between read
ings by covering 1t with cotton waste
and topping with putty. The brass
plugs are readily set in any pavement
while 1t is being laid, and ut any fu-
ture time by drilling holes with star
drills and setting the plug In cement
grOut.

D'ANNUNzIo ICE CREAM "H0G"
Eats ss Much ss Ten Persons; Poet Is Also Very Fond of
 Crabfish.

Plume. = Innumerable peculiarities constitute the temperament of Ga briele d'AnnunZio. He is superstitious to the core, and will never sit down to an ordinary meal unless there are II at table. He is fastldlous in his choice of foods and will drink only a special kind of Rhine wine.
 His favorite dish is scampi, small crabfish, found only in the Quarnero. The fish resembles in color the Amerl- can shrimp, but is much larger, and has taste milder than lobster, ap- proximating the crab, but considerably more to0thsome.
 Besides his partiality for scampi, Lieut. Col. d'AnnunZio is lover of ice cream. He sometimes divides a large cake of it intended for the whole table into halves. He takes one entire half himself, then gives the other half to the remaining 10 at the table.

It was built more than half century ago, and the al. legged walking of chairs and tables, and door raps, rattling of dishes and pans and removal of covers from persons occupying beds have driven those who have occupied the place to give 1t up
 The ghosts have been reported for quarter of century, and during that time a score of different families have occupied the house, but only for short periods. For years no one would oc. cupy it, although 1t was offered rent free

NeW Arabian Nights Tale Told in New York by an Alleged
 Sheik.

New YOrk.-The tale of the "Tbou- sand and Second Night" was told in New York by Ben Mahomet, who pro- claimed himself sheik of Arabia and a brother of the amir of Hediaz.
 Ben Mahomet arrived here with six retainers. His mission he said. was a worldwide search for Sapi. Turk ish heiress, who, the sheik declared. was plighted to marry the amir.
 Sari, according to Ben Mahomet, was last seen in ConstantinOple talk ing to sailor from an American war ship which had put into the port. How the Turkish maid was able to escape the vigilance of her nurse long enough to hold this conversation was not ex- plained by the Arabian chieftain, but after this meeting it seems Sari disap- peared

 When 1t was considered certain that Sari had left her native land, either voluntarily .or with an abductor, the amir is said to have asked his broth CT, who studied at Cambridge universi- ty in England, to search the world for her and to spare no expense. From Turkey the sheik went to France, thence to Italy and Tangiers, and finally set sail for the new world, ar irving in New York via Halifax. Ben Wahomet announced that if detectives here had failed him he would appeal to the government at Washington and seek to learn what ship it was that touched at Constantinople soon after the armistice, when Sari disappeared.

AS HE SAW CHRIST

nv Proconsul in Palestine m Lstter Describing Man os Strange Virtue"

From the dust of more than
 a""oors studious modern Roman IovV M rescued a pen portrait of Jesus Us.ss+ O@, Ii was drawn in one or the '.4tars D4tar that Publius Lentulus, who was le pon,an pro-cOnsul in Palestine and +ho Savior in Nazareth, wrote to q friend in Italy.
 !" ,.rhore has appeared here man :, strange virtue" Publius Lentulus ol His disciples call him The m m of God He cures the sick and NVn s.s the dead to life. He is a very handsome man and worthy of all attention. His hair is blond .nd covers his shoulders in separate " ",.,s and is parted in the middle, '1ar the fashion of the people of Nozareth. His forehead is smooth s.d serene. without marks or mr,ntIes: his countenance is pink 1; W.. nose is we'll formed; his beard, of .. .ome color as his hair, is parted in the middle. :.
 "In his gaze is an expression or .,.do,o and of openness; his eyes are ,rms hut shine terribly when he re- waves people; but in conversation .hav are amiable. His observations ars expressed with liveliness, aiS tnoupb he always remains calm. No- noay has ever seen him to laugh; but bs often weeps. Of a good height and ,trsigbt figure he has very beautiful bonds and arms. His manner of .neakipg is serious. He speaks but utt,e and is modest. In short, he is as handsome as a man may be. They cal, him Jesus, the Son of Mary"
 Expert antiquarians and students or h,story pronounce the letters of Pubii- nc Jentulus to he entirely genuine. Tor centuries they were forgotten save hy students of Latin and ancient Rome. The advent of Christmas brought the letter auoted to the mind of an old nrofessor here. He translated It into modern Italian and sent it to some or his learned friends as historical curi- os,ty. Ii seems to verify the belief tbat the Savior had fair complexion and light hair, as many old artists de- picted him.
