Chart. ,.
(By International Newt Berries.)
San Francisco, Sept 13 In the
Behring Sea today the search of
Treature island has come to past.
Robert Louis Stevenson's schooner
the Casco, manned by a crew as di
versified as any which boarded it
for Treasure Trove, is searching for
buried gold.
Word comes here in a letter from
oal of the party members that the
ddUd of' mutiny has more than once
darkened the midnight sun;' hidden
between the lines treads the figure
of 'Old Silver and even a Squire Tre
!aynev may yet be developed among
those who trod her creaky decks.
Hunt for Gold Dust.
"Pointing her bow for the Siberian
coast, the Casco slipped out the
1 Golden Gate with the tide the night
of'June 1 last. Near Point Roman
off, in the Behring Sea, the party
has anchored to search for buried
gold dust valued at $120,000.
On Woman's Tale.
On a woman's tale hangs the
success of the .party. It was she
who told of four men, mushing their
way over the Alaskan snows and
ice, each with an equal share in
$U0,OOO gold they carried with them.
Two died from hardship and ex-
'pdiure. One died at sea. The last
feitiaining survivor reached here,
confided his secret to the woman,
gaVe her a chart of its burial place
r.d died of influenza.
-A letter from Johnson indicates
he troubles brewing among the out
ftearly in their search. "There is
noeal head to this outfit," he says.
"It's just a clique here and there
and no unit. The president and
captain and four or five more just
think they are raising hell right now
because we all take the captain's or
ders. In matters regarding the ship
I am upholding him, but the presi
dent wants us all1 to be bootblacks
fflf him. You know what will hap
pen to him when this bunch of hard
rock miners get through. I'm afraid
they'll kick him from the Siberian
coast back to the ship.
Trelawney's Ghost.
-And in like vein Johnson writes,
lust enough for one to sense the
feeling smoldering in the breasts of
tome 30 men, all seeking a pot of
gold in the sands of the Siberian
coast.
And at night, mayhap, as the
Casco rises and drops in the gen
tle swell of Behring sea, and the
dull twilight of the midnight sun
plays through her rigging, one might
lie on a sandy beach and, eyes half
closed, watch the ghost of Squire
Trelawney pace fore and aft.

Home-Made Flowmeter
Used On Altitude as
Well as Speed Flights
Dayton, O., Sept. 13. A home
made flowmeter.
That is what'Maj. R. W. Schroe
der of the McCook Flying field,
near here, made. The major is
making efforts to break altitude and
speed records.
,;Jhe need arose for an instrument
for indicating the flow of gasoline.
No such instrument having made its
appearance on the market, Major
'Schroeder decided to make one. He
found a section of an old gas pipe, a
broken boiler gauge glass ana a
bean. Putting them together he
found he had a flowmeter superior
by far to anything hitherto develop
ed either in this country or in Eu
rdpe. Tiiought Dead, Returns i

For Sweet Potatoes
' Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 13. Stating

cars of Georgia sweet potatoes,
Arthur D. Lowe, a Sioux City, la.,

Street Car Smashup Ends
In Family Reunion
Springfieid, HI., Sept. 13. This
isa story about a streetcar conduc
tor "who ran his street car into an
automobile, smashing the machine
and then having his hand shook by
the occupants. You see, it was
this way: Leonard Taylor was the
street car man. An automibile
tried to dash in front of his car
when, bang, the two vehicles col
lided. After bystanders helped
pick up parts of the automobile
and the occupants recovered from
their fright enough to make in
quiries, they found Leonard Tay
lor was the brother of the driver
of the machine Ollie Taylor who,
with other relatives, drove to
Springfield from Gibson City to
partake in a family reunoin at
Washington Park. They shook
hands all around then and ap
peared happy despite the accident.
The Taylors in the machine were
on their way to Washington Park
when the smashup occured.
Queer Nature Freaks.
San Francisco, Sept. 13. One
chicken with one-half a bill and
one eye over its exact center, and
another chicken with three half-
bills and three eyes, one over each
incomplete bill, is a freak nature
played with the eggs of Paul Krolt's
setting hens. One of the chicks
was born with one of the eyes and
one of the half-bills that should
have been the lot of the other, and
before the shells had been com
pletely shed from their backs both
prospective hens died.
"If they had been twin chicks
hatched out of the same egg. I could
understand it," said Kroll. "Tha
two whites and the two yolks might
have been sort of scrambled if they
had been in one shell, and anything
could have happened. IUit this is
beyond me, and 1 am unable to ac
count for the freak of nature."
For an appearing picnic sand
wich mix cream cheese with cream
or fresh butter and add chopped
olives.
