MADE BUSINESS OF MURDER
William Burke, Infamous Irshman,
Alec instrumental in Adding
Significant Verb to Language.

Burke and Hare were two notorious
bOdy-SnatcherS. or reSurreCtiOniStS
who carried on their infamous trade
in Edinburgh. William Burke was
born in Ireland in 1892, and went to
Scotland as labOrer about 1877 In
1927 he was living in cheap lodging
house kept by another Irish laborer
named William Hare. About the end
of 1927 one of Hare's dodgers, an army
pensioner, died, and Burke and Hare
sold the body to DR.. Robert Knox,
an Edinburgh anatomist. Hare there
upon suggested scratching as a
business and Burke agreed. The two
men then started in to entiCe poor
travellers to Hare's or some other
cheap lodging house The Victims
were piled with liquor and then suf-
located under mattresses, without
marks Of violence. Doctor Knox took
the bodies and paid up to Fla $500
for them. At least Is people had
been murdered in this way before
Burke and Hare were arrested. Hare
turned kings evidence, and Burke
was found guilty and hanged in Edln-
burgh on January %, 1929. Hare
found Scotland too hot for him and
went to England, where he is believed
to have died under an assumed name. |
The verb ito burke" meaning to suf-
fOcate, to strange, to suppress. or to
put out of the way secretly, had its
origin in Burke's method Of doing |
away with his victims.

WHERE GREAT EXPLORER LIES
South Georgia Island, Tomb Of
shackIeton, Lonely Spot in the
Great Antarctic Region.

An interesting picture of life in
South Georgia island, the Gateway
Of the Antarctic" where ShaCkletOn
was buried, was given by an explorer
who made research expedition there
a few years ago. At that time there
was only one woman on the island,
and she was the domestic in the house

Antarctic explorer who had settled
down as head of Norwegian whaling
station on the island. Below my soil

\ quarter Of a mile across the inlet

The use of the word "lOt" to des-
ignate a field or plot of land, is uni
verSal in the United States. 1t had
its origin among the Purtans, and
was the product of their strict adher-
ence to Biblical customs.
Among the early settlers of New
England the extensive salt-marshes
from which the salt-hay was cut, were
owned in common, every man helping
himself to as much hay as he wished.
AS the population increased this con.
dition could not prevail with general
harmony, and it was agreed to divide
the marshes equally among ali the
families. This was done by the Bib
lical fashion Of lot and the portion
which fell to each man was known as
his lot" In short time the word
came to apply to any piece of land
and finally reached the meaning of
any great quantity.

Sept. 80 is estimated at about H.
100000 net tons by the Geologic al
Survey in its weekly report. This
was calculated to be sufficient to
meet current consumption, though
probably quite enough to allow
storage for the future and at the

way Of The Great Lakes water route
before navigation closes. The
weeks anthracite production Will

The bit,minOus output will be from
9,6OO000 tons to 9,0OO,O0O tons
Production is scheduled at the pres
rnt time only to the limit placed
upon it by transportation facilities
at the coal fields. The output Of the

account was begun by the Cabell

mitted extending at least that

ments on at least two counts-for
having been delinquent in reporting
Ibis expenses to the Secretary of

having exceeded the Limit of S4,f25
