the custom when a child is born to

MAY. BE BONES OF HEROES
Uncertainty as to Human Relies Re-
Gently Found Near the Famous
Alamo at San Antonio.

Recently workmen have unearthed
In portion of the Alamo grounds at
San Antonio bones which may be those
OF the heroes of Texas whose bodies
were cremated by the victorious hordes
under Santa Anna.
No effort was made to gather the
bones nor to remove them to the in.
closure Of the Alamo. They were per-
mitted to remain where they were
found; and garage is to be built over
the spot, the ground where the dis
covery was made being outside the
walls and part of the property which
has gone to commercial use.
The bones were found some 200
feet south of the wall of the Alamo;
and the inquiry made has not fully de-
velOped whether they were those Of
the Texans or whether they were those
of the Indians who were used to build
the ancient mission and who formed
the colony which the friars gathered
about them to till their fields and to
provide the food and the feed they re-
quired.-Houston Post.

FEAT ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF

ant, appeared carrying couple of
large baskets, from the first of which
was produced big python. which the
young native proceeded to "charm"
with his pipe. The juggler took the
basket containing the python, placed 1t
upon a large cloth, the four corners Of
which he knOtted together with a
strong, thin rope. At the end of this
rope were affixed two little hollow
leaden cups. which he placed over his
eyeballs in such way that a vacuum
was created. He then shut his eyes
so that the lids were outside the cups.
The two sides of the rope were then
passed over his ears and, Rising from
his squatting position. he lifted the
snake by the grip Of his eyrllds and the
suction on his eyeballs alone. The
writer says he has never heard of the
feat being performed before or since.

Historic POS.

The '20's have played quite con-
siderable part in history. The chief
Of the centenaripS to be observed will
be that of the sailing of the Mayiiow-
err which landed the Pilgrim Fathers
on Plymouth Rock on Christmas day,
1920. 1t was In 1920 that Luther
burned the papal bull in Wittenberg,
an event which also had Its repercus-
SiOns on the times to come. George
III (alrendy moribund for two years),
died in 1920, as did his son, the father
of Queen Victoria; and 1t was in the
same year that George ~ inaugurated
his realm by holding the trial Of his
wife. The Field Of the Cloth Of Gold
(l520) the drowning Of Prince VIII.

are among the other events Of the

Airplanes Aid Fishermen.

Alrplanes are now being put to a
novel use in New Zealand, where n
service has just been started in con.
nectlOn with the fishing fleets. The
planes fly at an altitude Of two or
three hundred feet over the water and
"spot" the shoals for the fishermen
working below. The fishers are
warned of the presence of the shoals
by "A special radlO-telegraphic appa-
ratus. Airplanes have already been
used In rounding up cattle, for over
taking motorists, and even have helped
to effect the arrest of law-breakers,
but this seems to be the first time
they have been put to such prosaic
use as catching fish.

OF money for this show attraction.

there is no real substitute for eggs.
The U. s. department of agriculture
states that egg substitutes are Of

substitutes are essentially starch or

that each package is supposed to take

these connections.

about the beginning of the century
that "Memento Mori'' rings began to
be worn-curious memorials of the
departed. Widows took up the
vogue and frequently converted their
wedding rings with grewsome SYM
bols, such as an elongated skeleton,
placed on background of black
enamel. Inside of these rings an in

on the thumb. During the middle
ages destined bride of the church
also sometimes wore wedding ring,
but hers was worn on the third finger
of the right hand. 1t is said that the
present custom of wearing the ring
on the third finger of the left hand

In some parts Of India a signet

goods and household of her husband.
Many curious old wedding rings
are still to be found among the
peasants of Europe, perhaps the
strangest being those which contain
the heart-shaped milk teeth of the
young roebuck, connected by small

symbol of the union of two pure
hearts.
