ONLY ONE SUN GUN IN WORLD
At Noon SUMS Rays Are Focused on
Cannon in Portugal and 1t Is
Fired Automatically.

An automatic sun gun, the only one
known to be in existence in the world,
is at the Pena castle at Cintra, Portu-
gal. some twenty miles from Lisbon.
The castle is one of the finest monu
ments of its kind in the world 1t was
once stronghold of the Moors; in
fact, the last that the Moors held in
Portugal.
This sun dial and gun gives the
correct time to the surrounding towns
and hamlets from its height of 1000
feet. The cannon between the quad
rant on the front of the dial is of
bronze and supports convex lens on
adjustable arms, adjustable for twelve
months at a time. At noon each day
the suns rays are focused on the
touch-hOle of the cannon and thus 1t
Is automatically fired. Pena castle
was the summer palace of the late
king of Portugal, from which he tied
in 1910.

A New Trick in the Trade.

What Is apparently new way of
smuggling diamonds into this country
has just been brought to light in New
York. 1t consists of bringing the
stones back from the other side In
settings made in this country the idea
apparently being that. while the set
tings can easily be identified as of
American manufacture, there Is no
way of knowing whether the diamonds
have ever been in this country before.
The game is worked either by taking
the mountings over empty or set with
inferior stones of the same size as
those brodght back. in the instance
referred to, the diamonds We're said to
be so roughly set in the mountings as
to preclude their being worn for more
than short time.

about this superstitionfw which was re-

1t is difficult to say which was the
more energetic.
The mention of Salem, Mass, is al
most sure to bring thoughts of witches.
Indeed, this quaint New England vii
lage offers almost the only instance in
this country where witches were tor
tured for their supposed witchery.
Compared with the activities of other
countries, however, Salem's record was
small, amounting to but about ~ vic
tins over period of 100 years, While
in Europe, about the same time, one
Judge alone Is credited with sentencing
1900 persons to death by torture on
charges of witchery. News

FRIENDS DEMAND
TRIAL FOR PASTOR
ON HERESY COUNT

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Failure to
try the Rev. Lee Heaton, Of Fort
Worth, Tex, for heresy or else to
remove the stigma upon his name"
would be violation of the American
principle of fair play" it was assert
ed by the Modern Churchmen' S
union in a statement issued after
readin : yesterdays reports from
Dallas that Bishop Moore, of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese there,
had decided not to try Rev. Heaton.
This step, taken by the modernists
after a long conference, was the
latest in the doctrinal controversy
that has ragged within the Protestant
Episcopal and other Protestant
churches for several weeks, and that
has involved clergymen and bishops
as we'll as laymen, throughout the
country. The Modern Churchmen' s
union, headed by DR.. Stuart l.. Ty-
son, throughout has been ore o. the
Rev. Heaton's staunchest supporters.
Refusal to try Rev. Heaton if the
charges We're not lifted, would rem
der Bishop Moore himself open to
charges of being an "unfaithful stew
ard" the statement declared.
Bishop Moore said in effect
said the statement, 1.-The accused is
guilty, but in the face of the over
whelming verdict OF public opinion,
[ dared not bring him to trial. |
will leave a stigma upon his name"
In the language of the street,
declared the modernists, Bishop
Moore has decided to pass the
buck"
Pointing out that the American
people presume an accused man in
nocent until he has been found gull
ty, the statement asserted that il
Bishop Moore was unwilling to pur.
sue this course "he must obviously
withdraw the charges.
"ObviOusly there is no middle
ground" they said. "Mr. Heaton is
either guilty or not guilty. Let us
have done with ambiguity and Latin
evasion. AS the matter now stands
Mr.. Heaton will be branded as a
hereto for life. which would be a
grave Injustice "
