Exploiters Come to Grief In Digging
Up "Noah's Diary" Michigan
Copper Used as Basis of
Gigantic Fraud.
Dotrolt, Mich. An alleged copy or
Noah's diary, engraved upon a cop
per tablet, dug up in Michigan and of
fered for sale to a Wisconsin col
lector, has resulted In uncovering one
of tho cleverest swindles of recent
yenrs. A former secretary of stato Is
Implicated in tho atfalr and with him
aro a university museum .curator and
other Michigan men.
Michigan copper formed the basis
of tho entorpriso, which consisted In
manufacturing ancient relics out of
copper, painting them green to rep
resent vordigris, dipping them in cor
foolvu acid, and burying them In
mounds, after which they were dug
up by relic hunting expeditions under
tho leadership of the promoters.
Tho affidavits of prominent citizens
that thoy had seen tho relics dug out
of tho ground were sulllclont to secure
' their snlo to credulous collectors, no
ono dreaming that tho prehistoric ago
might havo been only 11 months be
fore. Indian copper Implements, battle
axes of leaf copper, woll tempered
spearheads, and other supposed rare
and anciently corroded relics that
havo boon treasured In Michigan and
outside museums aro declared to bo
bogus, with tho result that oil collec
tions of tho sort aro thrown under
moro or less suspicion.
As a finishing touch to a gigantic
swlndlo tho relic manufacturers
brayched off from Indian relics. They
wont so far a sto dig up In tho pres
ence of reputable witnesses bronze
tablets inscribed with hieroglyphics
and symbols of tho biblicnl djlugo nnd
tho tower of Babel. Tho fakers would
hnvo hud collectors bollovo that
Michigan was tho seat of the original
Hood, and that Noah's ark iloated
Bomo where among Michigan's low
hills, which woro tho real Mount
Ararat.
Tho diary of Noah was offered to a
wealthy man of tho Badger state, who
asked the advlco of a museum curator
as to accepting it. This man had had

IRISH BORN, RAISED SWEDE.
Did Not Learn Until Manhood That He
Was the Son of Erin.
Chicago. Hollevlng all his life that
ho was a Swede and that his name
was Olaf Olson, Herbert Sweeny did
not learn the facts until ho had
reached the ago of 25. Ho then went
to Judgo Walker's court and asked
to havo himself set right.
Ho explained that while he thought
his name was Olson he had taken a
wife nr.t! given her the name of Olson.
Tho judgo learned that behind tho
tangle there was a romance of an
adopted son an orphan taken to fill
tho place of a runaway boy In tho
hearts of the prodigal's parents and
of a disinheritance by the foster par
ents when tho real son returned.
In Red Wing, Minn., Sweeny was
adopted us an infant by a family of
Olsons.
Tho necessary legal papers of adop
tion were never obtained. When tho
true son returned, his parents gave to
him the placo held in their affections
by Sweeny from tho time of his in
fancy to manhood.
"If you want to change your name,
all right,' said Judge Walker.

A STRANDED SHIP FURNISHES
LIGHT TO-GUATEMALA TOWN.
Iron Hull Serves as Safe Refuge from
Terrors of Tropical Revolution
ary Storms Also Utilized
as a Hotel.
Victoria, B. C Time and again haa
fortune frowned on Ocos, Guatemala,
but she has at last made amends In u
manner ulmost surpassing the under
standing of tho slmplo natives who
havo hitherto deemed revolutions tho
only rcputnblejnauner of gaining com
forts. The stenmer Sosotrls from, this port
nnd Tacoma for Hamburg, via South
American ports, which grounded nt
Ocos some months ngo, has proved u
godsend and Capt. Groot is enrolled
as the Bolivar of Ocos. The way of it,
according to the late dispatches from
the forlorn little port, is as follows:
"Proud alcaldes of the future muy
claim for tholr village on tho sand
dunes tho distinction of being tho only
plnce in tho world where erratic for
tune descended and in a single night
prpvlded, free of cost, a municipal
lighting plant, a big tourist hotel, a
steel refuge from revolutionary storms
all in ono great freight steamer's
hull about which the ocean currents
are hourly packing' Band, apparently
for the sole purpose of securing to the
llttlo Guatemalan town ready-made
metropolitan conveniences tho Hko of
which not all tho rest of tho country
can boast.
"Between tho steel sides of the
stranded ship and the snnd all around
Is u tiny strip of water. This permits
tho turning of tho propeller, and Capt.
Groot keeps steam up all the time.
This gavo Ocos an Idea. Prior to the
last month or two tho night owls
among Its swarthy citizens had to go
home by moonlight If thoy required
any light at all.
"So, when tho cabins and portholes
of the Seostrls blazed and shot white
gleams, tho like of which Ocos had
never seen, into the town, public
spirited citizens gazed a while and
between blinks said: 'Why not?'
"Capt. Groot could not see why uot
either, so that is the reason why Ocos
has had Illuminated streets for weeks.
Wires from the ship's dynamos have
been strung into the town, but Capt.
Groot has neglected opportunities that
may never return, for ho failed to or
ganize a public service corporation to
Issuo watered .stock to squeeze divi
dends out of the guileless citizens of
Ocos.
"The sand now has drifted about
tho vessel so effectively that a deep
canal will havo to be dug If sho Is ever
to be released, and llttlo hope of sav
ing her exists. Tho British Columbia
Salvage company has been asked to
send its steamer Salvor, but tho com
pnny, seeing llttlo chance for success,
has thus far failed to enter into a con
tract and has merely planned various
theoretical ways tq. free tho ship."
STOWAWAY HAS BEST THERE IS.
Travels Like a First-Cabin Passenger
on an Atlantic Liner.
Now York. It is rare Indeed that,
stowaway travels like a first-cabin
passenger, but that Is tho experience
which befell William Roseman, son of
u New York jeweler. Roseman has
Just arrived from London by tho At
lantic transport steamer Mlnnetonka.
The Mlnnetonka had been out ten
hours when Roseman introduced him
self to the purser and explained that
ho was a stowaway and wished to bo
looked after. The purser took tho
youth to Capt. Cannons and tho cap
tain learned from Rosemnn that he
went abroad on the liner Oceanic last
summer, had a good time in Europe,
and spent all his money.
Roseman assured tho captain that
his family would pay for his passage,
tho result of which was tho stowaway
was given a berth in the officers' quar
ters and a seat at the officers' mesB.
For five days Roseman had tho run of
tho vessel, but after that ho was
obliged to keep to the aftorpart of tho
main deck, and when the Mlnnetonka
loft quarantine, by order of tho Immi
gration authorities, Roseman was
locked up In tho vessel's hospltul. His
relatives secured his roleaso.
