The United States assay office at
New York has recently received much
gold and silver in queer articles for
conversion to bullion or coin.
The charges for converting gold and
silver are less than those made by any
private company, which circumstance
brings to the assay Office dealers in
precious metals, pawnbrOkers, jewel
ers, gold and silver producers and the
banks. 1t is no unusual sight TO see
a dealer bring in lot Of jewelry made
up of a gold mesh bag, brooches, scarf
pins and rings. This is weighed In
bulk and a receipt given which In
cludes no statement of value. All the
articles are melted as a whole, and
the owner given the privilege of re-
ceiving in payment gold or silver bull
lion or cash.
Some time ago the executrix of an
estate sent a silver chandelier of enor-
nous proportions, but hopelessly out
of style. 1t was reported to have cost
$4,000 fifty years ago. Melted 1t
brought about $500.

Whales Not Deep Divers.

Although it is common belief
among sailors that whales, when they
sound" descend to enormous depths
In the ocean, and. although 1t has been
estimated that the larger whales com
monty dive to a depth of almost two
thirds of a mile, yet a member of au
antarctic expedition challenges these
statements and AYERS that about 300
feet ls the maximum depth to which II
whale can dive, says the Sun and New
York Herald. He bases his statement
partly on the fact that the fish on
which they feed and to obtain which
they are accustomed to sound, dwell
near the surface, and partly on the
fact that at the depth of 1000 yards
or more the pressure Is so great that
they could not withstand 1t, and that
their muscular strength Is not suffi-
Client to propel them into the regions
where 1t prevails.

crested waves and sent them in long,
white streaks of vapor across the
scene, through which the dismantled
ships were dimly deserted drifting
from their moorings.
THE heavy, stoue-faced wall of the
Praya had given way, and the great
granite blocks had been washed in
upon the road. Half-blnded by the
waves as they leaped over the road

I'VE had to cling to the lamp posts
and stanchions and seek shelter
against the doOrways and walls. Adj
vantage was taken of a slight lull in
the storm to fire off rockets, but these
were driven back like feathers against
the houses. Then, long lifeboats were
dragged to the pier, but the first was
broken and disabled the moment 1t
touched the water, while the second
met a like fate and its gallant crew
were pitched out into the sea.
I'm short, every effort proved abor-
tive, and as darkness set in the I'M

taken quite unawares and hence the
fearful sacrifice of life and the loss

GOT NO CREDIT FOR SONG
How Thomas A'8eckett Wrote a Yer
sion Of "Hail Columbia" and An
other Man Claimed II.

There are three patriotic songs
known as columbia" and there is not
always as much care In distinguishing
them as there should be. the Phladel-
phia Record remarks.
In Songs That Every Child Should
Know" Dolores Bacon has included
columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,"
which she credits to DR.. Timothy
Dwight That eminent man, so closely
identified with the history of Yale,
wrote another Columbia"
Columbia. Columbia, to glory arise.
The queen of the world and the child of
the skies"
Both Hail Columbia" and "Colum-
bia, the Gem of the Ocean" are Phlla-
delphia products, though the tune of
the former, known before Joseph Hop
kinson set the words to 1t as THE
Presidents March," has a somewhat
obscure and disputed origin. Both of
these songs were born on the stage;
they were written for the benefit of
actors. An actor named Fox appealed
to Hopkinson to write some verses that
he could sing to THE Presidents
March," and the result was Hail Co
lumbia." produced in 179S.
Thomas A'Beckett, whose son of the
same name died last year, wrote to Adj
miral Preble an account of his compo-
sition.

duCed some patriotic lines and asked
my opinion of them. I found them
ungrammatical, and so deficient in

the house of a friend OR. HartfOrd)
and I then wrote the two first verses
In pencil, and at Miss HartfOrd's piano
| composed the melody. On reaching
my home l added the third verse,
ments and made fair copy in ink and

not to give or sell copy"

iication by Willig of Philadelphia as a
song written, composed and sung by
David r. Shaw, and arranged by t.

his rights and obtained their admis-
sion, but columbia the Gem of the

Another Crime Charged to Rat

The rat, already perhaps the most
unpopular of all living creatures,
earns fresh odium from the discov-
cry that 1t may be responsible for the
spread of cancer OF the rats brought
from a certain sugar refinery to the
laboratory of Professor F'ibiger, of Co
penhagen, many were found to have
cancer of the stomach, and investiga-
tiOn has tended to show that this re-
suited from eating the cOckroaches
with which the refinery is infested. A
nematode worm was discovered as a
parasite of the cockroaches. the fe-
male being one and one-half to two
inches long and one-two-hundred and
tiftieth inch in diameter. while the
male is only half as large. A number
Of rats fed on these cockroaches and
on the eggs Of the parasite developed

Haren Victim
Tells Story

Stolen from her home on the night
before her wedding and imprisoned for
FIVE years In a Turkish harem. Aghavni
MILAN, a beautiful nineteen-year-old
Armenian girl from Bitlis, has at last
been discovered by her lover and
through the assistance of the Near
East Relief forcibly taken from her
master and brought to one Of the
American Rescue Homes in CONSTANT
nople. Here she will stay until ar
rangements can be made for her mar
riage and her return to her old home.
MY story-it Is like hundreds of
others" Aghavni said simply. II was
stolen from my home on the night that
the massacres first began in Bills. 1t

wedding veil away when the Turkish
soldiers broke into the house. They
carried me off. l. They took me

up to Constantlnople to the house of
the man. She stopped and put one
hand over her eyes, a hand that bore
the tell-tale tattoo of her Turkish mas
ter.
"But what does my story matter r.
she exclaimed. II am only one Of so
many. II is my people and their fu-
ture that matters. Somehow we must
rebuild our nation and show to the
Turks who tried to beat out our life
and 10 the whole world that, despite
what we have suffered. Armenia IL
still unconQuerable."
Aghavni MILAN is. as she says. only
one of many. II is estimated that one
hundred thousand girls are still held
captive In Turkish harems. The Near
East Relief. Americas official agent
in Armenia. is making this work Of
rescue one OF the most important fea.
lures Of Its program. and II is to them
and the support they receive from
the American people that Aghavni's
unfortunate sisters, still captive, must
look for their release.

School for BeIqlan Farmers.

The Belgian government has hit
upon a novel scheme of teaching the
farmers of the country better methods
of farming, says Motor. The idea of
a school for farmers is not new, but
the idea of taking the school to the
farmer by means Of motor caravan
is certainly novel. The school build

With this powered unit go two trail
ers and the three rolled into position
