BROUGHT BACK SAD MEMORY
\ ITCH!
Little Wonder That Comedian Could
Not Look on Buna With Any
Degree of Affection.
**I never eat buns," the comedian
said badly, “they remind me of a hor-
rible experience I had once."
The listeners drew near, thrilled by
the tenseness of his tones.
"I was on a ship In midocean,” went
on the comedlau dramatically. “Her
cargo was self-raising flour and cur-
rants, ami a touring theatrical party.
Suddenly, In the dead of night, we ran
into an iceberg.
"There were no hoata, so things look-
ed very desperate for us. The huge
waves dashed over the sides and down
the hatchways.
"Then wedieard a curious noise. The
water had got to the self-raising Hour
and prdHcntly It began to ooze up In
blot
large blobs, like buns, with the cur-
rants mixed up In It.
“As the great lumps of dough floated
on the water the heat of the sun baked
them hard. I got on top of one of the
biggest and floated away from the
sinking ship.
“But, alas! the ocean thereabouts
was full of sharks and they seemed to
like my bun. Anyway, they nibbled
and nibbled at It, and dally It grew
less, until I had hardly room to hang
on. I got washed ashore Just when
there were only two bites of bun left
for them.
"Ever since then,” he ended, with a
algh, "I haven’t been able to look at
a bun without shivering.”
KNOW LITTLE ABOUT EARTH
Dweller* on Thl* Globe Have Shown
No Curloelty Concerning Poeiible
Wonder* of Ite Interior.
The earth’s crust Is compared to
the skin of an apple by the writer of
a leading article In the Scientific
American Monthly. Our knowledge of
the globe on which we live, lie says,
is not even skin deep; for an apple
as large ns the earth would have a
skin twenty miles thick; and no one
bus been much more than n mile in-
to the crust, or has bored Into It with
tools more than a mile and a half. It
ts rather humiliating to think that
we know more about' the sun, ninety
millions of miles away, than we do
of the solid earth under our feet. We
think nothing of dispatching exploring
expeditions lo unknown regions thou-
sands of miles away; how about, a
little expedition to points only a few
miles distant—vertically downward?
Such explorations have been proposed,
although the boldest explorer hns not
dared lo suggest going further than
twelve miles—a trip that would take
him on the surface of the earllt oul.v
from one end of Manhattan island
to the other.
Success ThrouQh Optimism.
At one time while building the Puna
tna canal there were eight thousand
men engaged In the Culehra cut alone.
Every night as ntueh soil slid Into the
cut ns could lie taken out during the
day. ltut there was not a sign of dis-
couragement the men enjoyed the
tight. Colonel Goethals walked
through the cut one morning Jusf after
an extensive slide. The foreman had
been on the Job since midnight.
"Well, how Is everything this morn-
ing, Mr. llngan?” asked (loethnls.
“Fine, Colonel, fine. It hurled that
steam shovel over there and lipped
over two batteries of drills and cov-
ered all the tracks through Hie cut
hut one, hut everything’s tine, sir,
We’re dlggln’.”—II. II. Moore In The
Youth of a Nation.
Assyrian “Ambassadress."’
The Lady 8urma d’Mar Shimum lias
arrived In London as the official am-
bassador from the Assyrians In the
Kurdistan mountains, says the Argo-
naut.
Very handsome, not unlike the
queen of Montenegro In profile, very
bright, lively and animated, Lady
Surma d’Mar Shimum Is only a little
more than .‘Ml years of age. Of line
physique, she is also a highly cultured
woman, so cultured thut Ihe arch-
bishop of t'anlerbury closed n re-
cent Interview with the "ambassador’’
with the remark: "It Is extraordinary
to And so much civilization where one
could naturally have expected bar-
barism."
The Atlantic Patrol.
After the wreck of the Titanic, 11
of the leading nations of Europe
Joined with the United Stales and
Canada to provide a service for the
observation and patrol of lee along the
north Atlantic steamship lanes. These
nations contribute in different propor-
tions to the expense of this service,
but the work Is done by the United
States i-oast guard cutters Seneca
Htid Tampa who cruise hack and forth
during Ihe warmer months when the
Icebergs come south ami send out lo
all vessels wireless reports of the lo-
cation and movements of the lee.—

CARRY INSIGNIA OF HONOR
Wer Department Hat Decided That
Planet Shall Retain Diatingulehlng
Mark* Earned in War.
Buddy hack on the farm is going to
get hm awful shock one of thexe days
when he looks skywurd during a lull
In the plowing. A plane Is going to
appear overhead and lie -will Instantly
recognize the Inslgnlu painted on the
fuselage of the stellar aero squadron
that worked for Ids division at the
time lliey were hoeing their way
through the Argonne In the Home
Rector, Frederick J. l>nrle says: "The
decision of the war department to re-
tain the d: Ingulshlng J/fsIgnla will In
any event make the Identification of
the. | lures easy for civilians. More
and more the army plnnes—old ns they
are—are undertaking long flights. They
appear unexpectedly over cities far
away from their stations and many a
farmer these days sees a gargantuan
propelled beetle settle down In his
back pasture. When an army plane
come" flying by or lands near us, we
will soon look for the luslgnla, Just
as everybody once looked for the state
automobile license tag when Ihe tour-
ist’s dual covered auto passed. When
the pedestrian sees a plane decorated
with the painting of a kicking mule, a
silhouetted, scythe-swinging skeleton
or a witch a straddle a broomstick, he
may wonder what battle record the In-
signia stands for. He may guess
rightly Hint the tiny winged elephant
on a plane Is a sarcastic commentary
on the plane’s speed, hut he probably
would like lo know whether this plane
Is from n burden-bearer squadron that
hauled tons of bombs over the lines
to drop fhem on German railway Junc-
tions."

MADE FEAST FOR LOBSTERS
Crustaceans No Doubt Highly Appre-
ciated Mackerel That Seemed to
Be Provided for Thenr—
“Charlie" is well known In bis
home town of Rockland. While cover-
ing Ids rotile along Ihe south shore,
he got n trade on some nice lobsters
and purchased six dandles. A fat
mackerel also caught his fancy while
speculating In sea food and lie look
along the handsome specimen. Charles

carried (he big bundle into the house.
Ho dumped a crawling muss of crus-
•neenns on Hie table but nowhere could
lie find Ids mackerel. Back Vo the
auto he went but Ihe tlsli laid dis-
appeared. When the lobsters were
boiled and served It was noticed there
was a decided flavor of mackerel to
them. The diners’ suspicions were
aroii ed and, seeking authority,
Charles was told that lie had guessed
correctly—the lobsters had eaten his
mackerel. The hungry shellfish, be-
ing brought up on sailed herring In
the traps, were not slow to realize
that an epicurean dish was being serv-
ed them on the long ride home. They

Ijjdy DulT Gordon said nt a ten at
the Hits;
“There are young women wjto would
rather ho ullru-fashlounble tlinn any-
thing else. In their eyes nothing mat-
ters but I hat.
“Two young women were lunching
when a third young woman passed
In tin- company of an elderly married
pair.
“ -There goes Maud,' murmured the
firs I young woman. ‘They say that
she and old Mr. Goldie spent the week-
end at Atlantic City together.’
“ -Oh I’ said I lie second young wom-
an In shocked (ones. 'Oh, wlnit a libel

drag her with wild horses to such a
vulgar, common resort as Atlantic
City.’ ’’
Commercial Airline*.
The regular commercial air line has
already come to stay. At present the
longest passenger air service running,
or rather flying, on regular air serv-
ice Is between London and Paris. Mlie
distance of 250 miles is flown in about,
three hours, often less. The fare iV
at I lie rate of a shilling a mile, or

passengers enjoy all the luxuries of
modern travel. Nearly a score of pas-
sengers are carried In n comfortable
cabin, seated In upholstered chairs.
The cabin Is lighted with electric
candles and decorated with glided mir-
rors. Several transatlantic air lines
are planned. It Is calculated that
they can he run ut a profit by charging
$500 for an air passage.—Boys' Life.
Success end Failure.
Ellhu Hoot on his seventy-fifth blrlh-
daV reception In New York, talked
philosophically about success and fail-
ure.
"After all," said a poet, "It's no (lia-
grace to fall If you have done your
beat.”
"Maybe not," said Mr. Boot, “hut all
the same It's pretty rough to have to
admit that the best you can do Is to
fall."
