Pirates Again
 Sweeping Seas

to have covertly countenaced as well as helped expeditions by buccaneers, and in the West Indies the trade re- strictions placed by the various moth- CT countries led to acceptance by many island governors of wares brought by navigators whom they knew to be free-booters and whose methods they could not afford to question.
 Piracy Road to High Office.
 Perhaps the most interruptions and willy of the perverted sea kings was Henry Morgan of the Caribbees. He was a magnate, an indomitable ruler, crafty strategist, and commander of genius as we'll as a pirate par ex- cellence. In fact he firted with one danger after the other always to come out on top. He marched into Puerto Principe in the heart of Cuba and took 1t despite every resistance. He outwitted with uncanny cunning the officers at Porto BellO in Panama, one of the strongest cities near the Car lbbean shores and the storehouse for the riches which had been brought by Spanish galleons and mule packs from the interior. He escaped with an inestimable amount of gold and jewels, ingeniously employing a fire ship against the Spanish to accom- piish his escape when he was bottled up in Maracaibo lake. Finally he took and sacked the. city of Panama. Then leaving his companions in the lurch, he slipped away at night with all the booty to Jamaica, ingratiated himself with the governor, and was clever enough to get himself into the graces of the English king who knight ed him and made him lieutenant gov ernor of Jamaica for his long ex- perience of that colony

cocKAToo KILLS BIG ROOSTER
Bird, at Outs With 6arnyard Fowl, Wins Battle at Mar
 tinez, Cal.

Martinez, Cal.-A bitter battle was fought at the home of B. F. Rhine, local merchant, by a two-pound cocka- too and an eight-pound rooster.
 The diminutive cockatoo proved that weight does not always prevail, for after taking a severe grueling for almost five minutes he grabbed the rooster in the windpipe with his sharp beak, administering the death blow.
 According to Rhine, the pair had been at outs for several weeks. One morning the cockatoo was perched on bush in the back yard when the rooster spied him. The heavyweight barnyard champion made a rush at his smaller enemy, spurs and beak.
 The cockatoo, however, dug his claws into the rooster's breast, and pulling himself upright administered the death blow.

Dips" Robbed of Haven
 When Art Center Moves

London. - Burlington House, the present home of the Royal Academy exhibition, does not seem to afford such a fine harv- est for pickpockets as the great room at Somerset House, where exhibitions were held until 1887, remarks the London Morning Post. A wooden dado ran round the room, and when after the academy resigned possession, this was removed in the course of renovatiOns, the narrow space between it and the patchwork was found to be stuffed with in- numerable purses, ancient and modern-an eloquent testimony to successful pocketpicking and cleverness in disposing of recog- nizable property.

Rome, Italy.-An airplane capable of landing without the need of large aviation field, able to travel more than 300 miles an hour and, if necessary, to meander along at only a few miles an hour is announced as the invention of an Italian engineer, Epaminonda Der tucci of Rome.
 The inventor reports that he has already tried out the machine on a small scale and regards his first ex- periments as indicative of the success of the invention. The new machine is primarily intended for aerial war chasing and is to be armed with ma chine gun. It is monoplane.

Having been given ships and crews to accomplish the purpose, he gayly set sail across the Atlantic, around the Cape of Good Hope to Madagascar and the Red sea to ravage East India waters and convert to his own uses his captures. Then he hied himself, so the story goes, to West Indian waters and buried his super fiuous treasures before he finally went to Boston where he was captured, sent to England for trial, was executed and his body left to dangle in the wind for years as a warning to sailors"
