FIND SHIP IN HEART OF CITY
Hull Buried in San Francisco, Records
Show, Is Relic of the Gold
Rush Days.

San Francisco discovered an old
wooden ship under the streets OF it's
business section recently, relates Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. Ccntrac-
tors, excayatng deep foundation for
new skyscraper with steam shovelS,
were hindered in their work by strange
massive timbers found 80 feet below
the surface. They had accidentally
stumbled upon the preserved remains
of some strange buried craft.
The bronze-sheathed and copper
bolted hull measured 100 feet in
length by 80 feet beam, and great in
terest was aroused by the puzzling To-
cation of the relic mile from any
water. The city's history revealed,
however, that it was the Euphemia,
a bit Of whose historic and romantic
existence is as follows:
In the days of 20, when the mad
stampede around the Horn to the new
California gold fields was on, pumer-
Gus ships were abandoned by their
crews at the end of the journey, and
left to rot on the mud Hats of San
Francisco bay. But, in forming the
municipal government of the fast
growing city by the Golden Gate, the
first town council bought the
Euphemia. and converted it into
prison ship. Those We're trough"
days in San Francisco and this, the
first Jail the city could boast, was tied
to a wharf, and soon filed up.
An old sketch of the scene at this
part of the water front reveals an
other ship, the Apollo, converted into
a saloon and lodging house. AS the
city grew and forced the waters OF
the bay back from the spot by filing
in the shadows, the novel spectacle
was formed of strange ship sticking
up out Of the ground in the heart OF
the city, surrounded by substantial
stone and brick structures.
During the next sc years, the city
attained great size. Then it was sud-
denly half leveled by great fire. And
had it not been for the necessity OF
a deep foundation for the latest edi'
fee to rise over the spot, y years
after the Euphemia became jail, the
old hull would have slumbered on for
another fifty or one hundred years.
AS it was, the contractors experienced
considerable difficulty in removing the
mud and sand-locked skeleton with
modern steam tackle, but made small
fortune out of the sale Of the heavy
copper and brass junk found on it.

ERUPTION of Flames on the Sun.

There was recently the biggest dis
turbance on the sun that astronomers
have ever happened to observe. 1t
seems to have been az enormous erup-
ton, during which masses OF flames
were thrown to a height Of hundreds OF
thousands of miles
A gigantic arch of fire. spanning a
large section of the suns edge (as
seen through the telescope), rose, up
held, as it were, by two columns, one
at each end. Rising still higher, it
finally broke, ass ming thereupon a
spiral form. The arch was at least
100000 miles high, and lasted four
months before it disappeared.
Another eruption of flames, which
attained height Of 100000 miles, oc-
CURED soon afterward, stretched like
q rubber band, the middle part ris-
ing rapidly and the sides straighten-
ing so as to form almost an lsosceles
triangle.

AiroIanes Sold for go Cents.

The British government recently
sold number OF airplanes for 60
cents apiece at the Lincoln airdrome
disposal sale in London.
The machines had become out Of

and had been junked. the wings snd
the engines being removed. Neye.the-
less, The purchasers who paid GO cents
for an airplane received the body Of
the machine with the copper fittings
and pipes, which in all originally cost
several hundred dollars.
The purchasers, for the greater
nart, were anxious to buy the planes
to break up for fireM ool during the
coal shortage. Small boys dragged
their fathers along TO buy a plane so
that they might get the wheels to use
on scooters and homemade automo-
biieS.

DIDN'T KNOW DOGS
Mrs. Rinks CIassed Them All in
One Tribe.
Anyway the Animal Was Evcted
From the Sacred Precincts, and
Dignity of the Home Uphc,d.

Mrs. Binks must have had d;sap-
pointing afternoon at the bargain
counters, for she returned to her Cap
itol Hill home with the quick. decisive
tread that indicated a highly irritable
menta! condition to those who knew
her well. This condition, Glenn Far
ley writes in the Seattle PoSt-intelii-
gencer, was not improved by the dis
covery that her ten-year-old son Willie
was entertaining practically all of the
neighborhood children in the house,
and that one of the most efgervescent
Of the guests was large, woo!y,
strange dog, whose booming bark as
sailed her from the depths Of tie din

Willie and his guests and the dog
poured out Of the front door like an
audience from burning theater, short
ly after mother arrived, and it became
apparent that she was in the back
ground, with q large, able-boded
broom.
Binks arrived home and sat down
to dinner in great eXaltation. 1t ap-
peared that Seattle had won game

howl from Willie. His mother had
reached him finally, in an unguarded
moment, and she had firm grasp on
the slack of his trousers. Two de
cisive whacks were administered
amidst howls that would have put a
normal welkin out, of business.
Before you eat want you to go
out and lose that dog" she began. Il
have told you before that 1 won't have
these stray, worthless ours about the
place and, above all, in my house.
A boy has no business with dog

"Why, ma" Binks interposed, "when
I was q boy no family thought of rails

Mrs. Binks. "1 our whole conduct in

"Not a word from you" said his
mother. you've got to get rid OF
that dog. 1 won't have him around.
"But the dog" insisted Willie.
The boy evaded swipe that would
have put him out of business, but he
got out of the danger zone and tn-
ished the sentence.
'"Trile dog belongs to sBennie Gum

LAND OF BEAUTY
Traveller Writes of Art Treasures
in Old Mexico.
Among Them, cathedrals and Churches
as Fine, or Finer, Than Any
Found Elsewhere.

The guileless tourist who throngs
European picture galleries, because he
is told it is the proper thing to do, will,
some day, when he has got it out Of
his head that Mexico is nation entire
" inhabited by murderers, find
that there are artistic treasures just
as worth while only a little way across
the Rio Grande. There are hun
dred great churches and cathedrals
more beautiful than any yet dreamed
of in his own country; there are pyr-
amids that rival Cheops and bas-re-
liefs as striking as anything Nineveh
could show; above all, for those in
search Of beauty in common things.
there are a dozen handicrafts, the
products whereof would drive collec-
tors mad with rapture If they were
bought In Naples or Ishpahan. The
blanket serapes worn by the men are
familiar, chiefly through machine-made
limitations; less so the rebosos worn
by the women; of q special interest
as showing the blending Of East and
West is the native pottery, as Cor ex-
ample, the beautiful Talavera and
Mudeiar ware. Although the intro
duction of this is usually ascribed to
the Dominican monks, its Spanish or
Arabic influence is, in actual fact,
merely overlaid upon the very much
more ancient native craft of which
examples are still preserved in the
National museum and elsewhere.
It is safe to say that not one in q
hundred persons if asked to name the
three finest equestrian statues in the
world would know that at least one
of them is to be found in Mexico. II
represents King Carlos " of Spain
and is said to have been the first
bronze statue ever cast in America.
It is without any question the finest.
ranking second only to that Of Bar
tolommeo Colleoni in Venice, yet !
mention it here, less for what it is
than for what it represents.
The Mexican people unfortunately
for their reputation live in country
of unparalleled fertility and wealth.
Were they only more enterprising and
business like they would long ago
have sacrificed its beauty to the bene-
fit of their own pockets aud thereby
gained the admiration Of their neigh
bors. Their cities, today mines Of
beauty in which you cannot walk
100 yards without passing some noble
church or palace fit for the Sleeping
Beauty" or quaint detail Of euainter
public life, would be rectilinear night
mares where skyscrapers and factor
les and elevateds and smokestacks
fought with each other which should
most openly show its contempt for
mere humanity. Perhaps if the advo-
Gates of progress and efficiency at the
expense Of your neighbor have their
way, that day may still come. 1t Will
be a bad day for Mexico; it will be
an even worse day for the rest of the
western hemisphere, for it will herald
the final victory of materialism in the
new world and the permanent disap-
pearance of that religion OF beauty
which is called art.-Oliver MADDOX

FIND GERMAN SPY
| IN CANADA INSANE
s'0fficer" Who Tried to Dyna-
mite Big Bridge to Be
Deported.
By the Associated Press.

OTTAWA, Ont, July 22.-Werner
Horn, who figured in one of the most
sensational German spy cases of the
physicians at the penitentiary in Dor
chester, N. B., where he has been serv-
ing a ten-year sentence for attempting
to blow up the Canadian Pacific railroad
bridge at Vanceboro, Me. He will be
released as soon as arrangements can be
made for his deportation to Germany.
1t was February 2. 1915. that Horn
tried to dynamite the bridge, which
crosses the St. CroiX river into New
Brunswick. A few hours later he was
arrested at Vanceboro. Horn, about
thirty-seven years old. with military
training that bolstered his claim that he
was a captain in the German army. said
that. being unable to return to Germany
to fight. he had conceived the plan of
aiding his country by blowing up the
International bridge and SO crippling
the movement of munitlon trains in the
Arrangements for blowing up the
bridge, he said. were made in New York.
In Vanceboro he met an "lrishman.
who handed him some dynamite. with
which he attempted to destroy the
bridge. This. he insisted, was an act
of war, and he contended that having
fled to neutral country he could not
be surrendered to the enemy.
The Canadian government, through
the British ambassador at Washington.
made formal demand for his surrender,
but the request was not honored at the
time. For safekeeping he was tenn
porarily sentenced to thirty days in a
Maine Jail on charge of having in
jured buildings in Vanceboro.
March he was indicted by the federal
grand jury in Boston for violating laws
regulating interstate transportation OF
explosives by carrying dynamite from
New York to the border. He was re-
moved to Massachusetts after Maine
authorities made an unsuccessful fight
to hold him.
After long legal fight he was SEN
fenced in federal court in Boston to

fined 81 900. After serving his time ne

NO. RATE DECISIONS
BEFORE AUGUST |.
Commission to Take Up De-
probation at Next Weeks
Sessions.

1t was indicated today at the Dis
trict building that there is little
reliability of rate decisions being
annonnced by the Public Utilities Com
mission in the traction. power. tele-
prone and gas company cases before
August l.
The commission rested today after
rate hearings lasting more than Il
week. but will take up a second
phase Of the problem next week.
when four days will be devoted to
considering rates of depreciation.
This question will play an important
part in the commissions delibera-
tions to determine what charges shall
be established for utility service in
the District.
The general features of this ques-
tion will be considered in the pres
ence of representatives of all the
utilities at a meeting to be held in
the District building Monday at 1926
O'Clock On succeeding days the ques-
tion OF the particular rates, rules.
regulations and methods Of account
ing. as they affect each individual
class of utilities, will be considered
at special hearings given these
groups.
Car Companies on Tuesday.
street railway companies will lead
off Tuesday morning on the special
rates of depreciation hearings. Elec-
trio light and power companies will
have their inning "Wednesday morn
ing and the gas companies Wednes-
day afternoon. Telephone compa nies
will follow on Thursday morning.
and taxicab companies will complete
the schedule Thursday afternoon.
1t is assured the present round OF
hearings Will produce no rate IN
creases. unless the commission should
adopt the Oyster plan for increasing
the electric rate to 10 cents in order
that the Washington Railway and
| Electric Company. which owns the
power company. may be able to cut
the street car rate to Z cents. Even
this plan would not increase the
charge to consumers, who. already.
are paying the 10-cent rate Of which
a cent t-andahalf is impounded under
court order. Commissioner oyster
would stop the impoundinE process
until the court has acted. SO that the
money could be used for bolstering up
the traction situation and making
possible a cent reduction in the rate
of car fare.
Those who have followed the hear
ings generally anticipate no changes
being made in the telephone rates.
The company asks that the rates be
continued and it presented evidence to
the commission showing that its rate
of return last year on the valuation
established upon its property by the
commission was less than per cent
There will be at least 4 Decent cut
in the gas rate. due to the voluntary
proposal of the gas companies. In
making this proposal even these com
panieS showed the commission that
their earnings last year gave less than
a per cent return on their valuations
AS established by the commission. In
view of this development. it is doubted
by many il the commission will reduce
the gas rate below the point which
the companies say it may not be re-
duced if they are 70 operate efficiently.
