BURIED IN CEMENT
Tho Story of an Arab Boy Who Re
nounced Mohammedanism
According to hlBtory there was horn
about the year 1520 an Arab boy
named Geronlmo Lie was captured in
Infancy by the Spanish garrison at
Ornn and when about eight years old
he escaped from his captors and went
back to his family living as a Moham
medan until the age of twenty five
He then volutarlly returned to Oran
and resumed the Christian life which
he had adopted previously when In
the hands of the Spanish authorities
A few years later he went on a coast
ing raid with a party of Spaniards
but the raiders were themselves cap
tured by a Moorish corsair and
brought to Algiers Here the attempt
was made to convert him to Moham
medanism but he persistently refused
to embrace that faith so that he was
tried and condemned to die Ills hands
were tied behind his back and he was
cast alive face downward into a block
of concrete then being prepared for
the Fort des Viugt Quatre Heures
then building Careful note was taken
of the spot by Ilaldo a Spanish Bene
dictine missionary to Algiers who
prayed tho time might come when the
Lord would pave the way for his ex
humation and Christian burial In
1S53 the French found it necessary to
destroy the fort and the data left by
llaido were found to be correct for the
designated block of concrete on being
cut open disclosed the bones of Geron
imo and the cavity left by his body
The bones were removed Dec 27 1853
and given Christian burial and they
now rest in a massive stone sarcopha
gus in the cathedral A plaster cast
was made of the cavity and afterward
photographed Cement Age
AN UNCONQUERED PEAK
Lizard Head on Mount Wilson Ha3 De
fied the Climbers
The mountains and peaks of the San
Juan in northwestern Colorado pre
sent a different appearance from any
of the northern Rockies
They are grander more precipitous
with sharper pinnacles and more jag
ged in outline In height Mounts Mass
ive Elbert and Blanca slightly out
rank those of the San Juan but no
where else can bo found whole groups
of mountains rearing their heads to
and above 14000 feet
Mount Wilson 14250 feet the dom
inant peak is one of the most massive
hi the entire Rocky mountain range
Just east of this mountain is the re
markable trachyte obelisk called Liz
ard head The vivid imagination of
an early pioneer who had been seeing
things is said to be responsible for
the name
The summit is 141G0 feet above the
sea From a ponderous base the pin
nacle rises 200 feet with a diameter at
the footof only about sixty feet grad
ually tapering to less than half that at
the top
Lizard head has defied all attempts
of mountain climbers to reach its sum
mit The foot of the pinnacle is easily
accomplished but thus far the steep
sides of the 290 foot shaft have proved
insurmountable No doubt the time
will come when the venturesome
mountain climber will find a way but
many a failure is the record of the
past
Trains circle this mountain for miles
on the way from Telluride to Rico

An Albanian who had been in an
eastern state while freshets were in
full swing told the following about a
horse which had been attached to a
footbridge crossing a brook to keep
the structure from going adrift The
flood finally swept horse and bridge
down stream Later the bridge was
discovered lodged against the bank
with the horse sitting quietly on the
former
A bystander who had listened intent
ly to this tale remarked quietly
I see suthin similyar oncer
Indeed What was it asked the
story teller
Ye see was the reply arter the
hoss I see was took down stream no
buddy ever spected to see him alive
agin But he was a powful sort o
brute an bout a hour afterward we
see him a comin up stream a pullin

Mortar Tossers
There Is no hod carrying in Japan
The native builders have a method of
transporting mortar which makes It
seem more like play than work to the
onlooker The mortar is mixed in a
pile in the street One man makes
this up into balls of about six pounds
weight which he tosses to a man who
stands on a ladder midway between
the roof and the ground This man
deftly catches the ball and tosses it up
to a man who stands on the roof

HIS PAPERWEIGHT
Travels of a Bottle of Wine and Its
Ultimate Fate
A paperweight consisting of a piece
of thick glass with a tokay wine label
fastened on the back and showing

In the library of a man who goes to
Europe nearly every year People
look at the thing lie said and won
der what the wine label is doing there
and when I see the question coming I
always tell the story
Some yjirs ago I went to Ilaab in
Hungary where I called on an old
lady who in Vienna years before had
shown much Interest in and befriend
ed a young American student at the
university The poor student had
grown to be a rich phjsiclan and he
wanted me to call and present his
compliments - When I was about to
leave after a pleasant visit the wo
man handed me a bottle of wine which
had come from her estate and asked
me to take It to our mutual friend I
carted that bottle all over Europe
paid duty on it several times and Anal
ly landed it safe and sound here in the
house A few days after my return
wo Invited the doctor for dinner and
the bottle was brought in with much
ceremony I made a little presenta
tion speech and then In handing it to
the doctor dropped it on the floor

HORSE AND DOG
Contact With Civilization Lessens
Their Cunning and Sagacity
The dog is no doubt the most intelli
gent of our domestic animals and I
yield to none in my affection for him
I can almost eat and sleep with a flno
dog winter and summer But I try not
to deceive myself about his intelli
gence It seems to me that if the dog
had the least spark of wit akin to our
own that is power of reason his
long association with man would have
fanned it into a flame however small
But after all these thousands of
years of human companionship and
love he has less wit in some respects
than his wild brothers the fox and
the wolf Having been spared the
struggle to live that falls to their lot
his cunning and sagacity have deterio
rated Tho same is true of the horse
which has less Intelligence than the
wild stallion of the plains and for the
same reason
These animals do not grow wiser as
they grow less wild They do not civi
lize or develop We train them into
certain ways that make them service
able to us we humanize them without
adding to their mental capacity In
other words we cannot cross our In
telligence upon theirs and make it
fruitful in them The germ will not

English House Names
House owners are sometimes rather
unfortunate in their selection of names
for their abodes and in suburbia house
naming is occasionally rather ludicrous
Thus The Maples has never a ma
ple near The Rosary only exists in
imagination Sunnyside is the most
depressing villa residence and houses
named after the English lakes no more
suggest the lake district than Fleet
street suggests the Bois de Boulogne
The Anglo Saxon word hyrst sig
nifying a forest or wood has become
hurst in house naming and wood
and holt have the same meaning
All house names ending with these ter
minations are pretty and not unsafe to
choose
It is curious to note that in Hastings
and St Leonards quite a number of
houses have typically Saxon names
perhaps to commemorate the great
Saxon tragedy of which the name
Hastings is reminiscent

SLEEP IN THE DESERT
Impossibility of Keeping Awcko In
Riding Across Gobi
Hitherto I have thought that travel
ing by carts over stony roads and stay
ing in Chinese inns at night was the
hardest thing a foreigner traveling In
China was called upon to endure but
since I have traveled with a caravan
of camels I have changed my opinion
The monotony of the desert by day
and the bed of camels saddle at night
the evil smell of camels and the slow
ness of their drivers and the acrid
choking of the little fire on which ones
food is cooked none of these things Is
so trying to the foreigners as the sleep
iness which attacks one in this high
region This to me was a rea torture
Traveling the cold night with no other
company than dull Chinese who seem
to sleep while walking alongside the
camels or while sitting on their backs
and being weighed down by heavy
sleepiness is the worst thing I have
endured
You sit on your horse and in spite of
every effort fall asleep Presently you
wake up and find yourself on the
ground with your horse standing be
wildered at your side wondering
whether you are alive or dead Then
you try to keep yourself awake by
walking and talking a bit to the camel
drivers but you soon find that they
are just as sleepy as yourself A few
words are exchanged and tlieu you
are too tired to nen your mouth to
talk or even to tl of anything but
sleep sweet sleep Oh for Just a few
minutes there at the roadside in the
soft sand But no you must go on
and fight against this desire It is too
dangerous to sleep by the roadside on
the ground The caravan cannot wait
and your servant would not watch
over you He would soon fall asleep
like yourself The wolves would then
have an easy time
Yet In spite of all this reasoning you
feel as If you were drawn to the
ground by the power of a thousand
strong magnets and soon yield to sleep
again Suddenly your watchful horse
whose reins you have kept slung
around your neck this is a wise thing
to do pulls up starts and jerks you
wide awake You jump up not know
ing where you are for some seconds
but you see your hdrse trembling and
realize that danger is near
For a few minutes you are fully
awake and feel glad and refreshed
You jump on your horse and catch up
with the caravan which has gone a
few li a 11 is G54 yards ahead
After another ten li or so sleep creeps
on again like a huge boa constrictor
embracing you in its irresistible grasp
The same fight has then to be fought
over again Then at last the caravan
arrives at the halting place for the
night North China News
C0RSICAN CUSTOMS
Curious Observances Connected With
Death and Burial
When a Corsican woman dies she is
always buried in a new costume which
sometimes witli the poorer classes
takes up most of the family savings
and as the heat of the climate renders
burial imperative within twenty four
hours the new gown is generally com
menced directly the dying persons ill
ness assumes a serious form
Corsicans reverence the dead and a
feature in a funeral is the improvisa
tores women whose business it is to
improvise prose poetry to the mourn
ers Often this improvising is won
derfully beautiful and breathes the
true feeling of sorrow
The death hunters attend funerals
and afterward wrestle with the mourn
ers If a relative of the deceased gets
the better in the combat it is assumed
that his affection for the departed rel
ative was absolutely genuine
When the corpse leaves the house
the women gather at an upper window
and tearing out handfuls of their hair
throw it on the coffin The rich hire
women mourners who scratch their
faces and are paid in proportion to
the injuries they inflict on themselves
in their paroxysms of grief
A Corsican widow wears a strip of
black material tied on her eyes for a
week and during that period rhe is
fed and lel about by lie friends No
room in her house is cleaned and no
fire lighted for the same period
