Walter Martin, a Piccadilly cigar
dealer, has the distinction OF having
broken the bank at Monte Carlo three
times In an hour recently and TO have

money In his pocket, according to the
London correspondence Of the Sun and
New York Herald. To many persons

francs, today worth about $685. In

"a defensive system" OF his own.

"DAWDLERS" NOT LONG LIVED
Prominent British Manufacturer Points
Out That Active Man Of Bust
ness Reaches Old AGE.

Lord Leverhulme, one OF Great
Brltain's largest manufacturers, asserts
that more people shorten their lives
by dawdling in England than by
hustllng. He Is a living proof that
hustling promotes hale old age. He
has always led the strenuous life, and
at 20 is still going strong.
He presided at the annual meeting
Of the British Industrial Safety First
association the other day. In his ad-
dress he drew largely upon his Ameri-
can experience. Steps had been taken
there, he said, to ascertain whether II
was the hustling. bustling business
man who was supposed to shorten his
days, or the man who crnwled and
dawdled through life.
He declared there we're men In the
United States today Of so. 80 and be
tween 90 and 100 years of age who
were still in good health and actively
engaged In business, whereas men who
had retired early from business had
shortened their lives thereby.
He thought the "-Gwl Of the dawdler
was largely instrumental in shortening
the lives of individuals in Great Brit
ain-that the more a man worked,
whether professionally or In other vo-
cations. the more he would conserve
his life and strength and the life and

Mark Sullivan writes in the Worlds

As to at least one who observed

congress from the press gallery, his
most vivid recollection will be OF the
little son of a Republican member in
the fifth row, who, across the backs
Of four seats, lmprOylsed an acquain-
tnnce: and then, having exchanged
treaties OF amlty and commerce
through mysterious signals lmpercept-
ible TO older eyes, slipped away from
the guardianship of their respective
parents, and by the aid Of a cautious
and ingratiating diplomacy, maneuv-
cred their way past a dozen elders
preOccupled with exalted matters Of
state, to the ends of the rows Of seats.
There, in the protective Obscurity pro-
vided by the Cavern-like depths OF the
aisle, they produced a roundish gilded
button not so small but what unSat-
lated imaginatlOns could piece 1t out
into a marble whose defects Of rO-
tundity were fOrtultously and admir-
ably corrected by the slight decline In
the floor Of the aisle. With this equip
ment they extempOrized a delectable

That is, not quiet for any length OF

Of lava which looks like wet rubber
at intervals as regular as the breath

no sooner completely hides the llv-

to cakes which sink into the burning
pit, and the molten lava Of the lake
is again in commOtiOn. The whole
strange performance. as | recall, the
freezing over, the breaking up. the
renewed billOwing of fire, taxes less
than ten minutes.
The lake so called, is an opening Q
hundred yards or so wide in the floor
of the crater. which is eight miles in
circumference. II can be compared
to a hole in ice; the crater floor, al
though of black, hardened lava, is In
physical character like rough shore
ice, the surface of the lake like water
kept in cOmmotlOn by wind, except
for the periodic freezing over. The
live lava of the lake rolls In waves
which break against its shore, sending
up spindrift, which, blown from the
top Of the waves, hardens into hair
like glass. The natives call this glass
"Pele's hair" that lady being the God
