WATTERS0N'S BODY
FINALLY AT REST
Simple Service Is Held In
Louisville For Great
Journalist

Louisville, April 4.-"Marse" Hen
ry Watterson came home to Kentucky
today to rest for all time. A great
asseihblage of Louisville citizens and
men OF national prominence who
knew him in life came to honor his
memory. Flags on public buildings
flew at half mast while simple SER
vices at the First Christian church
were being held for the dean of Am
erica's journalists who died in jack
sonville, Fla, about three months
ago.
The casket placed on a catafaIoue
directly in front of the pulpit was
thanked on one side with scores of
floral offerings from many parts of
the country. The folds of an Am
erican flag, which stood to it's right
and rear, were stirred by the breeze
from the open doors.
The services were in line with that
simplicity which had marked the life
of Mr.. Watterson. A'ritualistic read
ing, hymn, prayer, an anthem by
the choir and eulogy were the OUT
ward tributes.
He leaves no successor" the
Rev. E. b. Powell, pastor of the
church said, "for only Ulysses can
WELD the bow of Ulysses"
The burial service was read by
the Rev. DR.. Charles E. Craik, of
Christ Church Cathedral at Cave Hill
cemetery while the casket was low
cred into a stone vault.

CITES EARTH'S IA MOVEMENTS
Flammarion, French Astronomer. Emu merates Various Activities of Globe
 During It's Travels.

The fact that our earth in Its voyage through space has no fewer than four teen distinct movements has been pointed out by the French astronomer and scientist, Camille Flammarion. ac- cording to an article in the Paris Temps. These are as follows:
 Daily rotation. annual revolution. ductuation or rocking due to the pre- cesslon of the equinoxes in period of 26.16 years, monthly movement of the earth around the center of gravity of the earth-moon couple; mutation caused by the attraction of the moon every eighteen and half years varia- tion, coming once every century, of the obliqu4ty of the ecliptic: variations every century of the eccentricty of the line of apses every 21,0O0 years; dis turbances caused by the constantly changing attraction of the planets; dis placement of the center of gravity of the solar system around which the earth travels annually. this center be- ing determined by the variable posi- tions of the planets; perpetual varia- ton of attitudes; daily tides of the continental soil: displacement of the whole Milky Way. of which our sun Is one star. toward the constellation of Capricorn. at the formidable speed of 3I5 miles per second, or l,250, 900 miles per hour"

 Come on," roared Lund. ''or I'll rush you to the first bath you've had in five years" The Finn lowered his head, and charged; the rest followed their leader. The hot food had stead jed their motive control O certain extent, they were frmer on their feet, less vague of eye. but the crude alec hol still fumed in their brains. With out It they would never have answered the Films call to rebellion.

 Lund. thought Rainey, had done a fool-hardy thing in tossing away his gun. It was magnificent, but 1t was not war. Pure bravado! But he had scant time for thinking. Lund tossed him scrap of advice. Keep movin'! 1! Don't let 'cm crowd youl" Then the fight was joined

 The Finn snarled. and the rest stood firm. Not one of them knew the real value of their promised share. Money represented only counters exchanged for lodging, food and drink enough to make them sodden before they had spent even their usual wages. Then they would wake to find the rest gone and throw themselves upon the selfish bounty of boarding-house keeper.
 But they had seen the gold, they had handled it. and they were int1amed by sense of what 1t ought to do for them. Perhaps half of them could not add a simple sum. could not grasp figures beyond a thousand. at most And the sight of so much gold had made it, in a manner, cheap. It was there, a heap of it. and they wanted more of that shining heap than had been promised them.

 The lads wits, sharpened by his forecastle experience. surmised what Deming and Beale were after as they gained the promontory flat and ran toward the fires.
 "Heyl" he shrilled. Look out; they're after the tools '"
 Deming's hand was stretched toward shovel, it's worn steel scoop sharp as chisel. Beae was few feet be- hind him. They were going to toss the shovels and drills down to the Seamen.
 Tamada turned. His face did not change, but his eyes gleamed as he thrust dipper in the steaming rem nants of the pea soup and flung the thick blistering mass fair in Deming's face. At the same moment the girls pistol cracked with a stab of red flame. Beale dropped. shot in the neck, close to the collarbone, twist ing like scotched snake, rolling down the trail to the beach again.
 Deming, bowling like scorched devil cawed with one hand at the sticky mass that masked him as he ran blind, wild with pain. He ripped, clutched, and lost his hold, slid on a plane of icy lava, smooth as glass. struck buttress that sent him off at a tangent down the face of the cliff, bounding from impact with an out thrust elbow of the rock, whirling in to space, into the icy turmoil of the waves, flooding into the inlet.
 Peggy Simms fled down the trail with steel drill in either hand, straight across the beach toward Lund. The Finn turned on her with a snarl and a side swipe of his knife, but she leaped aside. lodged the oth- or slowfoot, and thrust a drill at Lund, who grasped It with a cry of exultation. swinging 1t over his head as if it had been bamboo. Hansen had shaken off his men, and came leaping in for the second drill.
 The knife fell tinkling on the frozen rock as Lund smashed the wrist of the Finn. The girls gun made the second would-he stabber throw up his hands. while Hansen snatched his weapon, flung it over the farther cliff, and knocked the seaman to the ground before he joined Lund, charging. the rest, who fled before the sight of them and the threat of the bars of steel.
 Lund laughed loud. and stopped striking, using the drill as goad, driving them into a huddled horde, like leaderless sheep. knee-deep, thigh-deep. into the water. where they stopped and begged for mercy while Hansen turned to put a finish to the separate struggles.
 It ended as swiftly as 1t had begun. One hunter could barely stand for his kicked knee. Rainey's back was strained and stiffening. Lund had lost handful of his beard. and Hansen's cheek was laid open.
 On the other side the casualties were more severe. Deming was drowned, his body flung up by the tide. rolling in the swash. Beale was coughing blood, though not danger ously wounded. The Finn was crying over his broken wrist, all the fight out of him.

Wool of Australia.

The great superiority of Australian wool Is supposed to be due mainly to climatic conditions; but no little cred it Is also due to the grasses and herb- age upon which the sheep feed. The native grasses of Australia are looked upon as superior for pasture to exotic grasses; experience has inclined the opinion that way. They possess great CT reproductive powers. and there b very little necessity for reseedlng.

300 ACRES OF LAND FOR CANAL

Purchase of very nearly three hun
dred acres of land at Delaware City by
the government. made through the
United States Engineer Office, Sixth
and King streets, Wilmington, was all
nounced Monday and is only begin
nlng OF land purchases along the entire
length of the canal, some 10 miles,
from Delaware City to Chesapeake
City, Md, which will involve several
hundred thousand dollars more.
William Mcconnell Delaware City,
has sold the first big land acreage to
the government, and it will be used for
the change in the mouth of the cana
at Delaware City into the Delaware
Bay. Cost of this land was stated
Monday by Col. Earl l. Brown, United
States Engineer at $25, 800.
"About 80 per cent. of the land along
the canal is already owned by the gov
ernment', said Col. lIrown. "Of
course there are few protestants and
we shall have to condemn their land
he continued, "but even at that the en-
tire proceedings of taking over the land
needed along the main line of the
waterway will not cost over $500, 00O".
The needed land for the new entrance
to the canal at Delaware City, Colonel
Brown said. was bought for the pur-
pose of Strengthening out the main
channel and providing an admission of
ships of large size from the channel of
the Delaware.
Colonel Brown also corrected the inn
preston that the Chesapeake and Della :
ware canal is utilized almost solely by
steamers plying between Philadelphia
and Baltimore. Tugs towing barges
with goods, all the way from Boston to
Beaufort, N. c., which, incidentally
has been the slogan of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association, are
constantly making use of the canal.
During May alone he cited that ship
ping through the waterway was esti-
mated at no less than 1876 tons,
gross, valued at $4 1877, $50.

number that has ever taken these ex =
aminations at Delaware College in June
1t has been the experience in the past
that the number taking the examna-
tions in June is generally about one
half of the Freshman class. If this
average holds good this year the Fresh

over 1870. Entrance examinations will
be held in the fall on September 10 and
