"ExECuTEO" HIS DEAD BODY
Stern Decree Of Justice Carried Out on
Corpse of Ancient DaImatian
Archbishop.

Dalmatia has made rapid strides In
science and literature, the story Of her
culture, however, being one of per-
sonal achievement rather than public
advancement. cara, its largest city,
for example, had no printing press un-
til 1896, while Venetian Dalmatia had
only one public school in the eighteenth
century.
Roger Joseph Boscovltch, one ia
nous son of Dalmatia, was esteemed
by scientists for his work setting forth
a new atomic theory, but more popu-
larly known because of the adoption
of his plan for assuring the upright
ness of the dome of st. Peters at Rome
when a crack was discovered in it. He
wrote verse unanimously, but not as
successfully as he wrote his numerous
scientific treatises.
Marco Antonio de Dominis, another
Dalmatian Of public note, mingled the
ology and natural philosophy with
serious consequences to himself. He
set forth the first correct explanation
of the rainbow, but his theological
career was less fruitful. AS archbishop
Of Spalato he attacked his superiors
In his writings, fled to England, re
turned to Rome, then did penance by
writing a book refuting his heretical
works. He was tried, but died before
the trial ended. The trial went on and
he was sentenced to be dragged
through the streets of Rome and
burned publicly. His body was re-
moved from his coffin and the sentence
executed.

The diapidated old shack, still
standing at Eastport, Me-, is Of inter-
est by reason Of it's being the starting
place of the great American sardine
industry.
The experiment of converting the
small herring into the canned sardine
was tried out in this factory. built for
that purpose by Julius Wolff, a Rus
sian, and other New York promoters
nearly forty years ago. At that time
the picturesque welrs. in which the
fish are seined, usually joined the fac
tory property.
From its birth, in this small factory
sardine canning has developed to al
most the chief industry on the Maine
coast, employing thousands of skilled
workers each season. and has placed
Eastport on the map as one of the
most important fishing ports in tn,
country.

AirpIanes Will Aid MINING.

1t is predicted that the airplane and
the dirigible will prove great slim
illus to the mining industry In pre-
senting a means of getting material
and men to and from locations which
are known to be rich with ore and
which are at the present time inacces-
sible. There are many such places
known to exist, but the cost of build
ing a roadway to them would be so
great as to be prohibtive. Attention
to this phase of the subject has been
recently attracted by a report made
by Doctor Lyon, supervisor of the
mining stations for the United States
bureau of mines. BY this means a
regular communication could be main
tanned with sections which are not to
be reached by any ordinary means.
1t is also suggested that the same
means might be of great value for
getting rescue apparatus to the scene
Of mining disasters.

Locomotive Rolled Over.

After a storm that buried the New
England coast in snow last March
passengers on a railroad line through
Rhode Island were amazed to observe
a locomotive standing upright in a
swampy brook that runs under the
right Of way at one point. The en-
gihe started out with snowplow to
clear the track, but jumped the rails
at the brook trestle, the pillow going
one way and its motive power the
other. Confronted, then, by the prob
lem of removing the new obstruction,
and not caring to devote three engines
to getting one back on the track, the
rail men cut the GOrdian knot by roll
ing the big locomotive dswn the en-
bankment. Despite the slide and

With view to solving the difficult

An experiment demonstrated that

crossed on his breast and long white
gauntlets, a traffic officer can be seen
by motorists even at the busiest and

One of the lights Is placed on the

of $500 miles with it's load OF and
