GROWING to a lusty, globe-cir- V cling fleet from an extremely humble start, the American mer- chant marine had early become a world force in commerce. Heart and pride and personification of that marine was the fast ocean steamship portrayed on the TO- cent Pan American stamp of 1901.
 But even then the American merchant marine was slumping, while other nations assumed an increasing importance on the worlds main shipping lanes. There was a time when the American flag was familiar sight in every far-away harbor. And once Americas ships had been the worlds fastest and her seamanship the finest.
 Today America is making a strong bid for the return of this same proWess on the waters. Af- ter many intellectual attempts to regain her prestige on the high seas, a new program has been evolved to strengthen the mer- chant marine.
 The U. s. Maritime Commission has let contracts for at least 20 new steamers to ply in foreign trade; the commission will build dozen big freighters itself, and new passenger lines are being laid out. Tran s-oceanic flying is planned as well. The comeback of the merchant marine looks like a good bet this time-a revival of the spirit of the 1901 stamp de- scribed below.

Tn the famous old (1899) case of Laidlaw versus Sage, New York, 52 Northeastern 679, this set of facts is recited: Laidlaw, who was represent ed in the appellate court by Joseph Choate, was injured in the office Of Russell Sage, a great American cap- italist, who was 76 years of age when these facts occurred. The injury to LaidlaW was caused by an explosion of dynamite set off by Norcross, who was attempting to compel Sage to pay to him $1 200, ,O00. Norcross had obtained admission to Sage'S of1lce by claiming to have letter of ln- trodustion from MT. Rockefeller; in- stead, it was the demand for money. After Sage had read the letter, he backed away from Norcross and upon reaching the place where Laidlaw was stand ing. according to LaidlaW's testi- mony, Sage pulled Laidlaw be- tween Norcross and hiself. Sage denied this Laidlaws action was based on the theory that his injuries were due to the wrong ful act of Sage in making a screen of LaidlaW's body.
 Every person in the room was killed or seriously injured. The case was tried four times and heard three times by tine interme- diate New York court. The last trial resulted in verdict for Laid,aw. The intermediate court believed the facts were sufficient to make an issue and therefore left undisturbed the verdict.

The Northern Lights

The Northern Lights or Aurora
Borealis is an atmospheric phenom-
enon seen in the northern heni-
sphere. 1t appears in the form of
arcs, rays, bands, patches, etc., in
various colors, across the northern
sky. Its cause is not known for
certain but is believed to be some
kind of electrical charge or magnet
ic disturbance. One theory is that
electrons from the sun encounter
such gases as krypton and nitrogen
in the upper rarified atmosphere.
There is some connection between
brilliant auroras and magnetic
storms, also with the number of
sun-spots. The theory of Arrhenius
is that the sun emits flood of
corpuscles of a nature similar to
X-rays, cathode rays, electrons.
etc., and that these corpuscles on
approaching the earth are acted
on in the direction Of the lines Of
its magnetic force, around which
they describe helices.

Street Car Blamed for Discharging
Cartridge and Wounding Pedestrian

How man could be shot on a
downtown street in broad daylight
with several persons walking within
few feet of him, and yet none
of them seeing anybody shoot at
him-this was the mystery that the
police were called upon to solve
when Christian Knoll received
bullet wound in the hip while walk
ing through the business section of
leading metropolis, reports Will
liam C. Dudgeon in the Detroit
News.
The first important fact that the
officers discovered was that, while
several had heard the report, none
had seen any flash, indicating that
the bullet must have come quite a
distance. AS Knoll had been shot
in the side next to the pavement
it seemed certain that the shot had
been fired from across the street.
This latter probability was not
borne out, however, by the testi-
mony of persons who had been
walking on the other side of the
street. In fact, they were all very
positive in their assertions that the
sound of the shot had come from
the side of the street where the
injured man had been at the time
he was shot.
In their endeavor to reconcile
these seemingly conflicting state
ments, the police were just about
convinced that the shot had been
fired from a passing automobile
when word came from the hospital
that the bullet, when it struck
Knobs hip, had been travelling an

cell was great oak stall, plainly
very ancient and finely carved, and
against one wall was a Golfer, also
of oak. There was no other fur
niture.
In the stall was seated a manor
what was left of one. His pose was
natural. His head was up and was
leaning against the back of the stall,
his arms lay along it's arms, and
his trunk and his feet were well and
truly planted on oak and stone. His
clothes were those of the Fifteenth
century. His tunic was of diapered
velvet which the passage of many
years had brought to shreds and tat
tiers, if not to dust, but a jeweled
belt was still girding the crumbling
loins and a chain was sunk in the
ruin about the neck. Hose still hung
upon the legs, which were skin and
bone, and a patch, that had been
cap, was still GROWING the thick
fair hair. This was inviolate. The
face and hands were withered, but
otherwise well preserved and dead.
The eyes, which were wide, had a
curious, sightless look and might
have belonged to a man who was
living, but blind; and the whole was
in no way offensive, because, I sup
pose, there was no sign of corrup-
ton, but only of age. Indeed, had
the hair been white, the figure would
have been full of dignity: but the
color of the hair was fatal, suggest
ing an old mans efforts to seem to
be young-one of Times shabbier
jests, for the man had not seen old
age.
On the Golfer were lying three
things. One was skin of parch-
mentor part of a skin. Upon this
had been written Latin, still to
be read. BY it's side lay the trans
lation, clearly inscribed upon vel
lum and made at some later date.
And between the two lay a massive
signet-ring.
AS might have been expected, the
documents told us the truth.

and Carinthia, King of Hungary,

"Rudolf made haste to apprise the
Queen of the truth.
"For the sake of that injured la
dy, he undertook, on conditions, to
hold his peace. Between them it
was agreed:
'That he should hold to his witness
the corpse of the King, himself pro-
viding another to take its place and

it were that of the King.
