court" he said.

CANNON" PROVED A FAILURE
indian War Party Suffered Through
the Inventive Genius of One
of Their Number.

One of the most peculiar pieces of
ordnance ever invented was that which
was tried for it's sole occasion at the
storming of Fort Henry, in what Is
now West Virginia, by Simon Girty,
the famous renegade, and his several
hundred Indian followers, on Septem-
Der l, 1777.
All day long, without success and
with considerable loss, the savages and
their still more savage leader had been
attempting to carry the little stockade
with It's handful of defenders. Night
had settled down and their patience
was short, when some inventive genius
amongst them suggested the making of
artillery with which to batter down the
stubborn walls.
A maple log, already followed by the
process of time, was bound with chains,
plugged at the breech with wood, filled
to the muzzle with stones, pieces of
Iron and other missiles. 1t was then
conveyed to within go yards Of the
gate and discharged. The log burst
into a thousand pieces, Its fragments
scattering in all directions and kill
ing several Of the attackers. And not
q picket of the fort was injured.

What and Where kent,s Hole Ia.

A avern in the vicinity Of Torquay,
England, famous not only for it's relics
of primatlve man, but also for it's re-
mains of extinct animals, Is known as
Kent's Hole. Although the existence
Of this cave had been known from
time immemorial, 1t did not attract
the attention of scientists until 1925.
Excavations were carried on by Pen
gelly from 1866 to 1880, at a cost of
nearly $4,000 and yielded results of
the highest Importance to the science
of a~nthropology.
There were found flint tools of the
Paleolithic age and implements Of
bone, such as needles, avis and har-
poems. The animal remains discov-
cred comprised those of the lion,
hyena, bear, wolf, fox, rhinoceros,
mammoth, Irish elk and reindeer,
showing hat those animals once lived
In Britain and were co-temporaneous
with men of the Stone age.

IF THE lines of travel ~(extending
= from the rascette or bracelet upon
the mount of the moon) converge to-
ward the mount Of Saturn, which lies
at the base of the finger of Saturn, or
middle finger, but are not Joined
there, it is an indication that the vOy-
age will be n way that Is, the sub
ject will not return from it. If one of
the travel lines ends on the line of
life, it is an indication of probable
death in the voyage. Should the travel
lines be absolutely parallel through
out their course, the voyage will be
profitable, but dangerous.
According to some good palmistic
authorities, the travel lines are the
heavy lines on the mount of Luna,
even If they do not rise from the
bracelets. These students of the hand
assert that the long line extending
from the bracelet and rising into the
mount Of Luna are similar to the
travel lines of Luna, but more i'm
portant. When the line of fate
(Which runs upward in the center of
the hand) shows a considerable and
beneficial change at the same point,
the line of travel shows a voyage that
has been or will be prosperous. But
when the line of fate does not show
any advantage at the same point, the
outcome Of the voyage will not be
successful for the traveller.
