then the woman wanted to try. The
ticket seller was called out.
Potential passengers were held up.
A crowd collected. variegated re-

ly a mechanic was summoned. He
took the top off the box and recov-
cred the purse. 1t contained q cents.

church treasure Recovered.

An italian Ice cream dealer in at
tempting to dispose of a solid silver
cross for 100000 In Glasgow disclosed
the whereabouts of Thirteenth cen
fury church ornament worth $500 900
which disappeared several years ago
from the Church of Borgo Collefa-
cato, near Aquila. Italy. The evil
dence presented in court was to the
effect that the cross was one of the
most valuable antiquities of Italy. and
was thought to have been struggled
out of the country by an art collector.
The ice cream vendors effort to sell
1t at 100000 figure aroused the suspi-
cions of an antiquarian because of
Its greater intrinsic worth. The Ital-
Ian contended that II has been in the
possession of his family for genera
tons. that 1t had been lost in the
earthquake at Messina and had been
recovered by him from the ruins.

70 Attsmnt World FLIGHT.

London regards with admiration Sir
Keith Smith and his brother, Sir Ross
Smith, who, two years ago, flew from
London to Australia, covering the H.
294 miles in just under % days, and
who now announce that they have be-
gun preparations for a fight around
the world.
The distinguished brother aviators
are not after the long nonstop flight
record. They feel that aviation will
develop itself on routes upon which
stops are possible. What they wish to
prove Is that there are practicable
means by which every section OF the
civilized earth can be reached by flight,
Just as they now are reached by ship
and train, and that this can be done
at an immense saving of time and
perhaps of actual cost of transporta-
ton. Fortunately for themselves and
the cause they advocate so energeti-
cally the distinguished Smith brothers
have plenty of money with which to
demonstrate their theories.

M. MlIhaud, Leader of Polytonic

Charles Henry Meltzer, well known
music critic who has recently returned

cember Forum called 1.-THE Polytonic
Six of Paris" describes an interview
with the much talked of Paris
musician, NJ. Milhaud as follows:
"Some day." M. Milhaud said. Il

you of my love of melody. BY this L

to give equal Importance to all the In

"My orchestra, of course, varies ac-
cording to the nature of the works L
write. and have tried my hand at a
good many styles. One form which L
am fond of is the chamber symphony.
I have turned out four examples OF
the sort so far, each scored for only
a few solo instruments. / have pub
lished various piano compositions,

One of these scholars came in last

VAST TREASURE WAITS FINDER
Hidden Somewhere In the SUDAN
Desert Is osman Digna's Store
of Gold and Ivory.

In my travels, when a young girl
in Egypt and later in the Sudan, in
Ismailia, I met with a woman who
had fled from the Sudan during the
war with the British. She was related
to the once famous Osman Digna. the
mahdi's general and most trusted
friend. She related the following,
which l translate:
Every year 0sman Digna used to
take 80 Sudanese men and load them
up with ivory, gold and precious stones
which the mahdi obtained from traders
from the Congo. He led these men in
march which lasted three days into
the wilds of Khartoum, to a noun
tain where was his cache. When every
thing was put in safely, they started
off to return, but halfway another
trusted man, named Mahomoud, met
Osman Digna with a hundred men,
who killed everyone of the men used
to carry the valuables. When that
deed was done they returned to the
mahdi, waiting for the next years
caravan.
Osman Digna consequently was the
only man who knew the cache. When
taken prisoner he was offered large
sum of money to conduct party to the
place but he absolutely refused to
speak. The last heard of him he was
still lingering in prison In Cairo nearly
blind and insane.-Montreal Family
