known celebrities. He disapproved OF.
the unjust distinction then made be-
tween the aristocracy and the poorer
classes. and as champion of the latter
he exposed his convictions in the

Wet Inside and Out

The Marine was up for Office Hours.
The Sergenht OF the Guard has &C
cused him Of falling of the dock while
In al intoxicated condition. The ac-
cused Marine stoutly maintained that
he was strictly sober. and that tie
ducking he got was not the result Of
his own misconduct. His buddy was
a reluctant witness.
The Commanding Officer addressed:
the witness: at is reported by the
Sergeant Of the Guard that the ac-
cused Private Jones, was intoxicated
at the time he fell off the dock. and
that you assisted him ashore. Tell
me, how did he appear to YOU when
you pulled him out? If you had been
ordered 10 give an opinion Of him
then. what would YOU have said?"
"Sir.' answered his buddy. II should
have said thu: Ne was one of the wet

Japanese Nuns.

Near Tokufujl. Japan, is Sennyuii,
a group of buildings noted as the place
of interment Of several of the mikados
during the kamakura and TOkugawa
periods, writes correspondent. The
graves are not shown; they are ap-
parently very unpretending, quite un-
like the gorgeous mausoleums of the
Shotgun dynasty, but the place is worth
visiting. Near the gate. passed q

intentionally cool in the winter. The

Why She Couidn't Eat.

The young wife with the coiored

her husband. when she failed TO cat
the tasty food which she had always
enjoyed so much.

"Well, it is the first time ever saw
you that way"
After the meal was over and the
company gone the husband got the
real reason.
"You know, our colored cook is such
a good one" she said. Il never have
gone into the kitchen, but this eve

for the perfect taste of everything.
The cook was busily engaged tasting
everything, and she was using the
same spoon, and she never washed It
once. That is why 1 couldn't eatw

John Horne locke.

A renegade priest. who openly
scoffed at his calling and who led q
life, to say the least, which could not
be called respectable, would not be
we'll esteemed as private citizen, not
withstanding his learning and the in
genuity Of his own generally admired
work, 'The Diversions Of Purley."
John Horne Tooke was born on June
20, 1875, and 1t was not so many years
after that he was looked upon as one
of the political pests of the era. It Is
rather startling that all the public
questions on which his opinions were
deemed mischievous have since been
settled in his favor.
Tooke was fined and imprisoned for
his opposition to England's war with
her colonies. Twenty-three years after
his death reforms in the house Of COM
mons which he strongly advocated
were brought about. He was the first
prominent Englishman to proclaim the
advantages Of free trade, and his
biography may we'll be kept in view as
a monument to the futility Of intoler-

SHED LIGHT ON OLD TIMES
interesting Official Documents Recent
ly Found in the State House
at Philadelphia.

lncrusted with dust, yellow with
age. some nibbled by mice, real
treasure trove Of documents has been
discovered by workmen restoring the
old state house, the last Of the group
OF Independence hall buildings to- re-
ceive the city's attention, says a press
dispatch from Philadelphia. The build
Ing was the seat of the city govern
ment until 1853.
One Of the official papers relates
that Robert Wharton. once mayor Of
Philadelphia, addressing the select
council on December 10. 1914, de-
plored the increase Of tipping
houses" especially those that sold
ardent spirits" to minors in one and
two cent quantities. Another record
showed that MS late as May 9, 1916,
a resident OF that city paid $3.50 as
a tax for being allowed to carry a
watch.
In the "tippling house" address Of
Mayor Wharton he called the old-time
saloons vile Sinks"
Gaming houses also came in for his
attack. He declared that many such
houses were being operated in the
city openly for the destruction Of the
unwary, and lamented that there
were no laws against them. A refer
ence to fine of 10 shilling for the
unlawful discharge Of firearms was
mentioned by Mayor Wharton.
He criticized the filthy condition of
certain footways" and recommended
fixing the pavements on many city
streets.
A police flyer was also found near
where the OLD rogues' gallery used to
be. and In those days this was An
actual gallery around the police court.
The flyer was dated about the middle
Of the last century, and with it were
photographs of prominent New York
merchant and society man who had
run away with another mans wife.
The names might surprise their de-
scendants, now numbered among New
YOrE's "four hundred"
The documents date from 1875 to
1853. the majority belonging to the
years OF the last decade Of the Eight
eenth century and the first two dec

FOR WORLD CITY
Various Sites Proposed for Am
bilious Project.
Idea. Put Forward by American, 10
to Form international Clearing
House Of information.

New Jersey, Hawaii, Cuba, the en-
Virons Of Paris, the Riviera, Belgium,
Switzerland, Italy, and Greece have
been proposed as sites for an interna-
tional city, upon the plans Of which
Hendrix Anderson. an American, now
residing In Rome. has been collabor-
nting for the better part of the last
IL years. Such a city, according to
Mr.. Anderson's projects, would not be
the adaptation to international pur-
poses OF q town already existing, but
would be built new and SO would con-
tain only those edificeS necessary for
Its aims and maintenance. There
would be. among other buildings, an
international court of justice, which
MIR. Anderson willingly comedies would
not do away with war. but would at
least lessen the possibility Of it, and
which would be attended by perna-
nant representatives from all nations.
There would also be an international
bank, an International medical con-
greSs, which would always be in ses-
sion, and through which all new dis
coveries in medicine, hygiene and sani-
tation would at once be dissemina ted
throughout the world. an internation-
al press building. and an international
chamber of commerce and labor. Each
government would likewise have its
own building, which would offer to rep
reseiitatives of the other nations the
opportunity Of examining all the
works Of progress made by each coun-
try. The city would then be an in
ternational clearing house of informa
ton, and from its establishment, Mr..
Anderson declares, only good results
could accrue.
The plans Of the city have heen OK
hibited at the Smithsonian institute at
Washington and extensive literature
concerning ITS economic. political and
structural possibilities has been sent
to the presidents and sovereigns Of
practically all the countries in the
world. The estimated cost Of such a
city is S5OO,OOO,OO0. but the net an
nual gain to each nation participating
In Its advantages and facilities would
be $21 900 600, according to the calcu-
latiOns In the tracts which have been
sent out.
Lectures will be made upon the
project this summer In the United
States, and the Sorbonne In Paris has
offered chair for three years for
conferences on 1t. The plan has re-
"eived the appreciation OF Pope Bene-
dict Nv. and both Belgium and Greece
have offered land grants for the site
of the proposed city.

Rock Has Great History.

A report on the Dome Of the Rock
Of Jerusalem Is shortly to be pub
lished and will be Of great interest to
the MOhammedan world. 1t may not
be generally known that this place is
the third in sanctity of all the sane
tuaries Of Islam, and indeed for q
short period it actually formed the
Kibla toward which all Moslems
prostrated themselves in prayer.
Among the more important religious
associations Of this rock we may men-
ton that ii was here that David and
Solomon were called to repentance,
and on account of vision David
chose this site for his temple. From
this same spot Mohammed assembled
to the Seventh Heaven after his night
journey from Mecca, and lastly it is
to be the scene of the Great Judg-
ment The historical associations are
not less striking, and such famous
names as Omar. Aldelmalek. Saladln
and Sulriman are all connected with
the rock. ZanHihnr Gazette.

ROBBED GHAVE CT OCCUPANT
Apple Tree Had Completely Absorbed
the Hortai Frame Of the Famous
EoGcr Williams

The memory of Roger Williams,
founder 0f Rhode Island. long was
neglected. He died in 1853. and for
le3 years not even rough tublet
marked the spot wherein his ashes
rested. Then movement was set
afoot to locate the grave, and after
much research. the place was estab-
lished.
When the last resting place OF VIII
liams was opened it was found that
everything had passed into oblivion.
The shape of the coffin could be traced
by black line. definitely defining
the sides and edges Of the wooden
covering. There was bit Of rusted
material--hinses and nails. frag-
ment of wood. and single round
knot.
Near the grave stood venerable
apple tree. This tree had sent two
OF its main roots into the graves Of
Williams and his wife. The larger
root, following his grave had pushed
through the earth until it reached the
precise spot occupied by the skull Of
the dead man. Making a turn about
this the root followed the direction Of
the backbone To the hips. There 1t
separated. sending Sub-roots along
each leg which. in turn, bent upward
about the toes. One of the roots
formed slight crook at the knee.
The whole bore q close resemblance
to the human FORM
Not particle Of human dust was
left. Chemistry makes plain that all
flesh, and the geiatinous matter CIV
ing consistency to the bones, are re-
solved into carbonic-acid gas. water
and air, while the solid llme-du re-
mains. In this instance, even the
phosphate Of lime from the bones had
vanished. taken up by the tree In its
growth. during which 1t had formed

Brazilian, Fautso Pedreira Machado.
Is now being perfected for commercial
manufacture by company in the state

new mechanism will revolutionize

to manufacture. will reduce operating
costs, and will be positively reversible.
