THOUSANDS OF JEWS
ARE LEAVING RUSSIA
Exodus is Prompted by Fear of an APP
preaching Crisis, is General opin-
ion.

BERLIN, Aug. 1S.-13.-Thousands
of Russian Jews are crossing the
Esthonian, Lithuanian and Polish Dor
ders every month, many sent from
soviet territory under protection of
high bolshevist officials, according to
travellers in the border states who re-
Gently have returned here. The opinion
in neignboring states is that the exo-
dus is prompted by fear of an ap-
preaching crisis.
The rumored crises in Russia always
have been discounted there, but in
well informed sources it is believed
the situation really is serious now, and
will be more serious in the winter
months, for it is known the grain
crops largely have failed, provisions of
all sorts are scarce, and there is little
gold with which to purchase more.
Starvation already has taken toll of
the population of a number of districts
and wide areas are facing the longer
winter with only a few weeks supply
of provisions on hand.
The fact that no appreciate organ
lied Russian anti-bolshevist movement
has appeared since Baron WrangelFs
forces We're dissipated leads observers
of the situation here to believe that
should the overthrow of the soviet oc-
cur this winter it will take the ma
ture of a popular uprising. supported
by such troops as are not at the front.
Many fear it will result in "a wide
spread anti-Jewish program.
For these reasons every Jewish fam
lily of means, and many that are des-
titute, are attempting to get out of
Russia. They have no desire to tarry
in Lithuania or Esthonia, but are
seeking to enter Germany, with the
idea of eventually entering America

PASADENA, Calf, Aug. 1s,-An
information service on earthquakes,
similar to the weather bureaus work
I'm its field, is being considered by
scientists, engineers and business men
in California.
The undertaking aims at perfecting
an instrument sensitive enough to re-
cord the slightest tremors of the earth
and SO make possible the prediction of
approaching movements of its sur
face.
The men in charge of the project
are students of vibrations, who assist
ed in the development of submarine
detectors and other similar instru-
ments used during the war. They have
the cooperation of local educational
institutions, the United States geodet-
ic survey and the United States geo.

HISTORY SOURCE OF
THE ROMAN EMPIRE
An Ancient Greek Colony Has Been
Discovered in Africa.

LONDON, Aug. IA discovery
which, 1t is claimed will form one of
the fundamental sources for history
of the Roman empire under Augustus,
has been made recently by DR.. Oliverio,
an italian savant in Cyrene, the an
Gent Greek colony in Africa, founded
in the seventh century.
A Morning Post correspondent, writ
ing from Cyrene, says that excava-
which stood in the midst of the Gar
dens of the Hesperides near the mouth
of the river Lethe-fave resulted in
the unearthing of a block of marble
eight feet long, one face of which
over 100 lines; the translation of a
letter from Augustus on the govern
ment and administration of justice in
Cyrenaica, giving a wonderful insight
into the financial and judicial condi-
tons of that country at that time.
Other interesting finds are a sanctu-
airy dedicated to eastern divinities
probably of the time of Julian the
Apostate, with a remarkably web pre-
served black marble statue Of an Egyp-
tan goddess. An extensive Ptolemaic
cemetery also has been located. Al
Appollonia, a Christian basilica of the
fifth century is being excavated. and
at Merdj, the ancient BARGE, some Gu
fic inscriptions have been found which
are held to be of great Importance
when the history of the Arab conquest
comes to be written.

N. Y.C. ENGINE 999
HAS RIVAL In SOUTH.
Locomotive 21o of the Old Plant Sys.
tenn Made Average of 1870 Miles
an Hour.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 10
Exhibition of the old Dewitt Clinton
locomotive mad the celebrated New
York Central 999 in Chicago's pageant
of Progress exposition, recalls to
southern railroad men some of the
record making runs made below the
Mason and Dixon line.
The worlds record of 999-112 LIZ
miles an hour-stood unbroken until
locomotive 210 of the old Plant system
eclipseds it in 1901 with five miles in
two and a half minutes, putting the
speed record up to 100 miles an hour.
This was made on run between Sa-
vannah and Jacksonville
But as early as 1894 southern rail-
road men say they made a remarkable
record In running a special train over
several connecting lines between Jack
sonvil1e and Washington.
The distance traversed was 1905
miles In spite of its taking two hours
and fifty-nine minutes to cover the 119
miles between Richmond and Wash
ington, the special arrived In Wash
ington Is hours and IS minutes after it
left Jacksonville. The light equipment
of 80 years ago contributed to making
the RECORD T6IndThdDIG.
The occasion was a rip of Florida
Knights of Pythias to Washington for
their national conclaye. When they re-
quested a special train from Jackson
vile, officials of the Plant System and
Atlantic Coast Line saw an opportuni
ty for a record Preparations were sur
rounded with secrecy, as the railroad
men were anxious to keep news of the
proposed run from a combination of
competing railroads, which had a rec
ord of 10 hours 80 minutes.
The train was composed Of one COM
bination car, one coach and two sleep
ers, with a combined weight of 242, 800
pounds unloaded. The five locomotives
assigned to handle it over the five diff
ferent railroads between Jacksonville
and Richmond were similar as to
weight and construction.
The special left Jacksonville at 4:20
p M, eastern time, August 26. In its
first lap 1t made it's fastest time, clip
ping off a mile near Savannah in 4S
seconds, or at 20 miles an hour. It ar
rived in Washington at 500 a. M, Aug.
27.
After Sc minutes stop. several pas
sengers boarding regular train ar
rived in New York at q 80 p. M, %
hours and 10 minutes after leaving
Jacksonville.
Each of the five locomotives that
handled the train between Jacksonville
and Richmond is still in service on the
Atlantic Coast Line, which absorbed
the plant system seven years later.

KANSAS HAS FOUND
USE FOR The SNAKE
One Full Grown Bull Snake Will Keep
Acre of Alafalfa Free of Pests.

MANHATTAN, Kan, Aug. IA
full grown bull snake in a Kansas al
falfa field is worth at least $3.50 a
month to the farmer on whose land he
lives.
This is the statistical deduction of
experts at the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college here. They arrive at it in
this way:
There are on the average six go
piers to the acre and they damage the
alfalfa crop to the extent of about
$3.50 a month A bull snake of this
kind can keep an acre free.
The calculations are those of F. l..
Hisaw, mammalologist at the college,
and J. B. Rogers, of it's zoology de-
partment,
"a full grown bull snake" says Mr..
Hisaw, sis capable of eating all the
gophers on an acre of alfalfa in one
month, and during the six warm
months of the year is able to clear
six acres.
alfalfa growers should take serious
thought of the economic Importance of
these harmless snakes. BY protecting
them a great deal of time and money
can be saved in trapping and poisoning
gophers and other rodents.
1.-The bull snake feeds on rats and
mice when around the barn or granary.
The only return he asks for his loyal
and valuable service is the right to
live an undisturbed life

DESCENDANT OF
NOTED FAMILY
Henrietta Eilery Is Last Surviving
GrandchiId of Signer of DecIara-
ton of independence.

NEWPORT, r. L, Aug 13.-Henri-
eta Charming Ellery. of this city, has
the distinction of being the last sur
viving grandchild of a signer of the
Declaration of Independence She is
the granddaughter of William Ellery.
Miss Ellery was born April 8, 1888,
and has lived her entire life in New
port. Neither she nor her sister,
Mary, long since deceased, ever mar
ried. For a great many years they
made their home in the Ellery home
stead on Thames street, the home of
their grandfather, but this house is no
longer standing.
The Newport chapter of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution is
named after this signer of the Declare
ton of Independence. 1t was at the in
vitation of Miss Ellery that the chap
ter was formed in this house in 1896.
She has always been deeply interested
in the chapter and kept up her active
membership in it, attending all meet
ings as long as her health permitted.
The trunk that William Ellery took
with him from Newport to Washington
when he went there to sign the Declar-
alton is in possession of the D. A. r.
chapter, a gift from the Misses Ellery.
Opposite the old homestead the fam
lily owned a three cornered piece of
land at the apex of which stood the
Liberty tree. A few years ago Miss Ell
lery presented this land to the city
for park purposes. 1t has been improv
ed and beautified and the city has hon
ored the donor by christening it FL
lery Park

STAR ISLAND, Isles of Shoals, n.
H., Aug. 13.-This narrow island, a
gunshot in width, has become a Mecca
for American Unitarians this summer,
following establishment of an institu-
ton for religious education by the Uni

Men and women from the farther
most corners of the country have
thronged this quaint little town un-
til even the last available bath room
has become a bedroom and a billiard
table a double bed.
Fishing schooners drop anchor here
and their sailors often join WITH the
delegates in the hymns. Passing
steamships stealing along at twilight
draw close to the little island and Us
ten to the chorus that floats out with
the tide.
In their own words, the Unitarians
have gathered to find out when all
the temple is prepared within, why
mods the drowsy worshipper outside ?"
These are the same men who two years
ago, under the leadership of Chief
Justice William H. Taft, put through
a successful Unitarian drive for
100000.
The Rev. William I. Lawrence, head
of the department of religious educa-
ton in the American Unitarian asso-
