ICAN'T CATCH MEXICAN
REBEL LEADER,
BUT GET HIS WIFE

Mexico City, Mex Dec. 18.
Mexican troops sent after
Gen. Ricardo Morelos, who is at
the head of a rebellion in Vera
Cruz, have been unable to force
him into an engagement, but
have overtaka,n and captured
the rebels wife, according to re-
ports reaching the capital. Sc
nora Morales, it is said, was cap
tured near the town of Tcpcelo.
It is supposed that she was on
her way to the camp of General
Morelos, but search of the sur
rounding country failed to l'a-
veal the camping place. This led
to the belief that word of the
approach of federal troops and
the capture of Sonora Morelos
reached the rebel general, caus-
ing him to flee to the mountains.
TIL fact that he still manag"s
to keep up his "revolt" discred-
it's recent reports that deser-
tions had 50 depleted his force
that he was left practically
alone.
Morelos is the general who
financed his uprising by robbing
an army paymaster of money
sent to nav federal troops.

MANY USES FOR QUICKSILVER
SemI-PrecIous Metal, Much in Demand
Is Becoming Scarce-Sometlmes
Employed as Drug.

Quicksilver is one of the semi-pre-
cfous metals. and is gradually becom-
Ing scarce. The metal Is noted for its
many uses, besides the familiar one
in the thermometer. Its tendency to
unite with gold into an amalgam
causes its chief use. The mercury IS
spread over a copper plate over which
the gold ore is washed. The gold from
IT'S weight comes in contact with the
plate and is promptly amalgamated
with the quicksilver, from which il IS
separated by heat.
Quicksilver is also known for It's
Dse as medicine when rubbed TO a
fine. globular powder with rose wa
fer under the name Of blue mass
Among the chemical compounds OF
quicksilver is bichloride of mercury,
made by heating a mixture Of mer-
curic sulphate and common salt. This
is sometimes taken as a poison and
results in painful and lengthy suffer
ing and in death. Quicksilver is also
very essential to the manufacture Of
high-class mirrors.

~WHEN KNIGHTS WERE BOLD
Days of the Tournament and the Joust
Must Have Seen Some Pretty
Lively Scraps"

The national sports of Europe were
for a long time confined TO tourna-
ments and jousts. most of which were
participated in by nobility. with the
king as a spectator.
The tournaments saw companies OF
from five TO dozen knights ranged
against each other in the field. with
Judges to see that the regularly set
rules be observed The plan of each
contestant was to unhorse the other
by a blow with a blunt lance received
full from in front A knight thrown
nv n side blow was considered the VIC
tor in that ii showed poor horseman-
ship on the part of the other.
The joust was entirely different
from the tournament. being virtually
n duel. and usually a fight to death,
knights seeking to fasten themselves
TO n saddle and thus save themselves
from being thrown. were deprived OF
knichthood The knight was permitted
10 wear an outer garment over his ar
NOR, thus lending a gay appearance te
the contending forces.
