Hunger Strike*.
The problem of the hunger strike
was not known In the seventeeth cen
tury. Then, however. It was allowed
to solve Itself. John Evelyn, for In
stance, In 1656, found martyrs to their
beliefs in Ipswich, and entered the
fight and Its sequel In his diary: "1
had the curiosity to visit some
Quakers here in prison,” he noted on
July 8, 1656, “a new fanatic set, of
dangerous principles, who show no re
spect to any man, magistrate or other.
. . . One of these was said to have
fasted 20 days; but another, endeavor
ing to do the like, perished on the
tenth, when he would have eaten,
but could not.” There is no question
of forcible feeding here!—London
Chronicle.
Speedy Courtship.
A man recently in New York laid
a wager that he would woo. win and
marry within an hour a young lady
whom, with his companions, he had
just seen arrive at the hotel where he
was living.
There is nothing in the American
marriage lav/ to prevent this dispatch.
He introduced himself to the damsel,
she smiled upon his suit, a minister
was called in, and they were married
v'ithin an hour.
The wager, of no inconsiderable
amount, was handed to the bride
g nnm. who left with his bride the
tollowing day. It was shortly after
wards discovered that the couple had
been man and wife, and that they had
been traveling about playing the same
trick at various hotels.
POSSIBLY THE FIRST MUSIC
Bagpipes Have Been Known Since
There Has Been Any Record
Written In History.
Bagpipes are the Bulgarian national
instrument. Until lately the servants
who waited on the Turkish grand viz
ier in Constantinople were mutes,
though not, as in former times, per
sons specially mutilated, but children
b >rn deaf and dumb. They use a
language of signs, with a special ges
ture to describe the representative of
each nation. To indicate the Bulgar
ian agent they imitate a man playing
the bagpipes. It was not the Bul
garians who invented the pipes, how
ever. They are among the oldest of
musical instruments. An ancient gem
shows Apollo with them, and two in
struments in the book of Daniel are
believed to have been bagpipes.
The bagpipes range not o»ly in time
from Apollo and the Bible to the pres
ent day, but geographically from China
to Spain and Great Britain. England
is said to have given them to Scotland.
One country, however, finally lost a
peculiarly severe form of the instru
ment. This was the Sardinian “lan
nedda,” which had three pipes, all
placed in the piper’s mouth, and was
played by rubbing strips of wax up
and down over the holes.
The work was so exhausting that
nearly all the pipers died young. In
1845 George Burdett came across one
who had survived to the age of 80.
But he was the last of the lannedda
players, and when he died, the instru
ment was played no more.
STRENGTH OF THE GRIZZLY
Giant of Far West Carries Cow Easily
Over Mountain, Without
Resting.
It is related that a grizzly bear that
had one of its forepaws so shot as to
render It useless employed the other
to drag its weight of 1,000 pounds up
an incline almost precipitous, a seem
ingly impossible feat, the Pur News
states .
A Californian asserts that while in
the mountains he observed a big griz-'
zly in the act of carrying a dead cow
home to her cubs. Prom his position
on the mountainside the Californian
could follow every movement of the
bear in the sparsely timbered valley
below. He contends that the big beast
carried the cow in her forepaws for a
distance of three miles, across jagged
rocks several feet in height, over
fallen logs around the rocky moun
tainside, where even a mule could not
get a foothold, to a narrow trail up
the steep mountain.
This bear, it appears, stopped not
a moment for rest, but proceeded
straight on. The observer followed
her and about half a mile from her
lair shot her. The cow, it is reported,
weighed at least 1,200 pounds, while
the weight of the grizzly was about
450.
Photographs by Wire.
The Korn process for transmitting
pictures through the means of a wire
connecting two distant points has ful
ly demonstrated its practicability
where moderate distances are con
cerned, but the inventor is not satis
fied With these results, for the rea
son that the device is primarily in
tended for the use of newspapers, and
in this role the apparatus will be of
little value unless great distances can
be spanned, and so the inventor is
working with the object of perfecting
the machine to the point that pictures
may be sent across the ocean. Dr.
Korn has under consideration an in
vitation to visit the United States,
with the view of applying his system
to a line between New York and San
Francisco, which he may undertake
before trying the transatlantic expe
riments.
Child Floored a Comedian.
It was at a recent theatrical per
formance in one of our big cities. A
comedian was in the course of deliver
ing a long but not always uniformly
funny soliloquy for which he is fa
mous. Suddenly during a lull there
came an unexpected comment from
the st-alla. It was in the high treble
voice of a girlhood, and the words,
audible on the stage and in several
parts of the auditorium, were: “Mum
mie, I wouldn't mind if they pulled
down the blind now.” It was dramatic
criticism of a dramatic kind; and the
outspoken child was not the only per
son in the house who would have had
no objection to a dropping of the cur
tain, though she was the only one to
say so. At any rate, the curtain fell.

SYNOPSIS.
j C IAPTER I—For fifty years the con- ;
fluent of North America had been iso- !
la ted from the rest of the world by thf
of Z-rays. a wonderful invention ol
Hannibal Prudent. The Invention had
saved the country from foreign Invasion,
and the continent had been united undei
one government, with Prudent as presi
dent. For half a century peace and pros
j perity had reigned. The story opens with
President Prudent critically ill. His death
Is hastened by the receipt of a message
from Count von Werdenetein of Germany
: he has at last succeeded in pene
trating the rays. Dying he warns his
daughter Astra that this means a foreign
Invasion. He tells her to hurry to thf
I Island of Ciryne, but dies before he car
toll the location of the place.
CHAPTER II—Astra is nominated for
the presidency by the continental party.
CHAPTER III—Napoleon Edison call?
on Astra, informs her that he was a pu
j pil of her father’s, and promises to help
her. He gives her a ring made of a new
ly discovered substance which, he says,
will solve the problem of flying.
CHAPTER IV—Chevalier di Leon ap
pears in Europe. He notes that prepara
tions have been completed for an in
vasion of America. He calls on von
Werdenstein and offers him the secret of
making gold.
CHAPTER V—He demands In return
absolute disarmament and peace. The
chevalier^ls suspected of being an Amer
ican. He is seized at night and carried
off in an aeroplane.
CHAPTER VI—Astra la Inaugurated as
president She receives a message from
Edison, whose long silence has worried
nor. that he has been a prisoner for two
months on the island of Helgoland and
has just escaped. He announces that the
confederated fleet of Europe has sailed
for America. He promises to call on her
the following night.
CHAPTER VIT—Countess Roslny, a
spy. becomes a prisoner tn hope of se
curing Edison's secret. She falls In love
with him.
CHAPTER VIII—She agrees tp join him
in an attempt to escape. By the use of
fireworks he summons a curious flying
machine which resembles a monster
engle. He escapes and sends his message
to Astra.
CHAPTER IX—Edison calls on Astra
as promised. He tells her his plans for
defense have been completed, hut that he
will give fuller details at his workshop on
| the island of Ctryne in the Pacific. They
make the trip in three hours. His plans
1 are based on the peculiarity of the new
substance, clrynlth, which is lighter than
any known metal and is practically inde
structible.
CHAPTER X—The Europeans succeed
in passing the lin*» of Isolation, but And
that the Americans have established a
second one. Edison delivers a note to
von Werdensteln in his flagship demand
ing that the fleet be withdrawn. Edison
is attacked, but by the use of some mys
terious power he destroys two warships
and several aeroplanes.
CHAPTER XT—Realizing his helpless
ness Werdensteln withdraws his fleet and
consents to universal disarmament.
“Can you pardon me, Mr. Duprol?
Will you still be my friend, my kind
hearted friend?” She offered both her
hands to the unhappy man.
The control signal rang. Santos
jumped to the wheel. He was excited,
but automatically slackened the
Hawk’s pace. It almost fell down
ward and with a graceful curve settled
on the roof of the Crystal Palace.
Astra was awaiting Kositta’e arrival,
and Santos watched the two women as
they walked toward the elevator that
took them down to their rooms. "At
eleven tomorrow night,” called Rosit
j ta, with a friendly wave of her hand.
Santos .felt the encouragement in
| her manner and happily took the
| Hawk to its resting-place.
CHAPTER XIII.
Letters From Europe.
The Countess Itosiny was surprised
to find a numb.r of letters awaiting
her, all bearing European postmarks.
“How did they reach me?” she
asked Astra.
“Napoleon told the Count von Wer
denstein that jou are my guest, and
he also made arrangements to have
your property interests protected.”
“Mr. Edison is very kiud.” She
looked at Astra. "Do you know, I
sometimes envy you."
Astra raised her eyebrows question*
lugly.
“My dear, I do; you are so good and
noble that Mr. Edison cannot help lov
ing you as he loves goodness itself
through you.”
Astra sighed: "Then you love Na
poleon, Hositta?”
“I love him, indeed,” 1slie replied
laughingly. “And were I as good as
you are, I would take up the glove and
light for the prize. Hut 1—my heart
was poisoned long ago. I do not in
spire pure love.” Her voice sounded
somewhat bitter.
"Dear sister,” said Astra, putting
her arm around Uositta, "I cannot be
lieve that you are not as good as you
appear, for I do not believe I could
love you as I do If you were not good
and true.”
Astra left to preside at the Educa
tional Society of Independent Women
of America. “We shall have luncheon
together at two o'clock, and then we
will have a ride with Napoleon,” she
said as she left.
Roeitta- hurriedly went to her own
rooms, taking the letters she had re
ceived. One was in Count von Wer
densteln’s handwriting. She locked
her door carefully, then opened the let
ters one by one, leaving the count's
until the last.
There were reports from her agents,

mendous shaking up, but the peoplw
are happy and preparations are under
way to restore tb« same good order
that we enjoyed in former days; but
no more militarism.
“I tblnk the European peoples will
sootii be as rich as our American,
brothers. We expect them to teach,
us the latest methods of finance, etc.
We will gladly welcome every oppor
tunity to learn from them.
‘‘A bit of news: The Princedom oC

reigning family. I am telling you this,
as I know you always liked the joviaL
young Prince Otto, who died without

“European mouarchs were much sur

bonded together.
“I will be glad to hear further from

“With the best wishes.—Count von

Rositta gl' ■ *"d once more through
the letter, ii. preting It.
“He has received my message. They
want to restore the old order. They
are anxious to get the secret of the
aerodromone, for which they offer me

European monarchs are in the pact."
She answered the count’s letter, then
left it and her reply open on her desk,
to be read by anyone who might wish.’
She dressed and went to Astra's
boudoir. Together they entered the
dining-room in time to see Napoleon
and Ambrosio Hale enter from the
other door.
Napoleon's eyes rested with appre
ciation on the picture the two present
ed.
Mr. Hale greeted them effusitely.
then turned to the countess, whosei
charms were, in many respects, even,
more fascinating than the President’s.
A ride on horseback was scheduled:
for the afternoon; that old, invigorat
ing sport still held its charm, as all.
were accomplished horsemen.
The days were still short, and they
had to hurry homeward, as they
wished to rpach the capital before sun
set. Napoleon, who knew the country
best, led them through a short cut. a,
meadow nestling between two deep
forests, and thus to a shorter rofsd.
By the time they reached the first
suburb it had begun to grow dark.
They had to cross the town to reach
the Crystal Palace. Ab they passed
; under the first street lamp two men
1 who were standing on the corner, near
j an automobile, peered closely at them.
' One of the men grasped the other by
i the arm and said; ‘'Come.” They
jumped into the car and it shot for
ward, turning the nearest corner, and
raced toward the north, to the heart
of the city. At the new congressional
building they stopped and beckoned to
a man who seemed to await them,
“I tell you, Mozrak, they will pans
this corner,” said one of the men im
patiently.
| “But I would prefer to stand farther
down, where there is a greater crowd,"
Baid the man who had been waiting.
“What do you want with the crowd?”'
“To help me escape,” was the lacon
ic answer of the man called Mozrak.
“Just as you please.” assented the
man in the car. “Select your own
place.”
The automobile with the three men
went farther, where the streets and
elevated sidewalks <vere crowded with
people. Mozrak looked around and
hack, as If he expected to see some
one he knew.
''Here!’' The man at the wheel j
obeyed. “Wait for me at the next cor
ner, with everything in readiness, and
when I jump into the car you are to I
let her out.” Mozrak left the automo- ]
bile and threaded his way through the !
crowd. The big car turned the corner |
indicated and stopped. Mozrak walked
far enough to get its bearings, then
returned to the center of the block.
His hand strayed toward hie hip
pocket, rested there for a second and
then he stood watching the passing
throng.
In the meantime the four on horse
bacjt neared the building in a slow !
trot; as they reached the busier streetB
their horses fell into a walk.
Napoieon rode on Astra’s left and
they were closely followed by Rositta
and Hale. They passed the building
and were nearing the place where Moz
rak leaned against a lamp post, smok
ing contentedly. He saw the coming
quartet, and took a deep breath. When
they had reached the center of the
block, near where he stood, his right
hand went into his hip pocket. Just
as the four on horseback reached him
he jumped toward Astra with leveled
»rin, and the glint of an automatic pis- !
tol was seen.
The pistol wrae pointed at As‘ra.
whose horse made a nervous jump
when the man came forward. Before
the man could pull the trigger Napo
leon's whip hissed through the air,
hitting him sqUHrely in the face. The
pistol exploded; the bullet grazed Na
poleon's right shoulder, and before the
fellow Could make another attempt to
shoot he was seized by two onlookers
and his pistol was knocked from his
grasp. He was dazed by a blow and
stood looking at them blankly.
Astra fainted, but many kind and
willing arms were there to prevent her
falling from her horse.
Rositta, who just a few minutes be
fore was so full of joy, locked at the
scene shudderingly.
Napoleon, like a pod of revenge,
stood over the man. She could see
blood oozing from hie right coat |
sleeve, but that blood was not the
cause of her pale, terror-stricken face.
I It was the face of the assassin that
i had startled her. She knew that face.
The police restored order, but before
Napoleon let the shaking would-be as
sassin go he spoke to him in a stern,
low voice:
"Who are you V
“Nikolay Mozrak.”
"A Russian?”
The pale man simply bowed.
“Who sent you to commit this most
miserable deed?” And he shook the
man as a storm shakes a withered leaf.
I “It was my fate; I had to do it," the
man answered calmly.
"Miserable cur!” said Napoleon, and
tossed the man into the arms of the
waiting guard, then turned toward As
tra.
Her eyes met those of Napoleon, ap
prehensively.
“You are hurt!” she whispered,
poiuting toward his hand.
“It must be a mere scratch, as I
have not felt it.”
The return to the pal«ce was a
••lent one. Napoleon submi!ted to the
doctor’s treatment, but his wound was
slight, and when it was properly
dressed he returned to the drawing- I
room, where Hale was doing his best
to drive away the oppression caused
by the accident.
Astra had regained her composure;
her only fear was that Napoleon’s
wound might be dangerous, but when
she knew its insigniticance she felt
better.
Not so the Countess Rosiny. The
color had left her cheeks, and she
sat gaztng into space. A face danced
before her eyes, the face of the anar
chist. They tried in vain to reassure
i her, but it was impossible.
It took all her will power to force
a smile to her pale lips wlieu Napo
leon returned and still more to utter
the words: "I am glad you were not
badly hurt.”
During a lull in the conversation she

“Nikolay Mozrak," she repeated slow

Tli«u Mr. Hale turned the conversa
tion into other channels.
, Napoleon could not but notice that
I after he .had told the name of the e.a

gained her composure.
At eleven o’clock Rositta was on the
roof of the Crystal Palace, waiting for
the Hawk. Astra and Napoleon had
come up to see her off. Napoleon
helped her into the machine, where a
tall stranger stood at the wheel. The
bird rose and took its direction and
sailed olT toward the west.
Rositta w-ent to the aerial chauffeur
and spoke, but he signaled back that
he could not hear or talk.
She returned to the comfortable
bench and tried to think: "Does Napo
leon suspect something? No, it can
not be. or he must be a wizard.” Wi'h
this she lay down and in a few min
utes was sleeping like au iuuoceut
baby in a cradle.
CHAPTER XIV,
The New Cirynith Deposit.
The fact that Rositta found a
stranger in the aerodromone. inttead
of Santos Duprel, was not the result
of any suspicion on Napoleon’s part.
Santos had received a more important
order.
The substance "cirynith." that won
derful, glittering element that com
bined all the qualities of glass and rub
ber, that was a thousand times
stronger than steel, lighter than alu
minum and absolutely indestructible,
was very scarce. The volcanic island
of Clryne, whore Napoleon had discov
ered fhe precious metal, was rapidly
becoming depleted of the material with
w-hich to build aerodromones, and as
Napoleon’s plans for the future were
based on cirynith, he must look for
other sources of supply. He felt con
vinced that this metal must be in
other places, and whenever he had
time he flew over countries where he
suspected its existence.
A wonderful Instrument, similar to
a spectroscope, was of great assist
ance to him in his searches. He had
found some trace of cirynith in the
volcanic regions in Italy, but not suf
ficient for his purposes, so he went
farther.
Immediately upon Santos' return
from Clryne with Rositta he had been
dispatched upon tit is search, and Na
poleon himself started out the next
morning. His wound was so slight
that it did not interfere with his move
ments, and he started early, flying
tow-aid Italy. He went elowly along
the western coast of that hoot-like pe.
ninsula, searching diligently, hut with
out results.
Santos was looking through the
Alps. The poor fellow labored under
great difficulties. His mind was not
clear enough to work on the delicate
radioscope. Kositta had robbed him
of his peace and he dreamed more
I than he watched the changing colors
j of the little instrument.
The radioecope suddenly began to
show Interesting colors and recalled
him from bis dreams. The tiny plate
I that was framed in platinum glowed
! greenly; it was like a pale emerald
! and growing more Intense at every
stroke of the great bird's wings.
Santos looked around. He saw a
splepdid picture; Toward the right
great forests stretched, then came a
few volcano peaks, w’ith ancient ruins
on top, and beyond all this spread a
long, silver lake.
Before him was a mighty plain in
the. center of which stood a tremen
dous pyramid with the top as flat and
level as though It had been sliced off
with a knife.
The radioscope showed plainly that
this pyramidlike hill was rich in the
precious cirynith. Santos was so ex
cited that he forgot even Bositla for
a while. The plateau and the whole
pyramid was barren of human beings,
so he descended.
It had been thousands of years since
the volcano had been active, and the
lava composition was full of the crys
tals that produce cirynith. Santos
gathered some in a small box and then
began to figure out hfR geographical
situation. He found that he was near
the town Kis cell, County Suemeg. "I
am in Hungary," he muttered. "And
this is a richer deposit of cirynith than
the master ever expected to find.”
He went up high in the air and ad
justing the electro-stylograph, with
which all the aetodromones were
equipped, he began to send out calls
for Napoleon.
In a f**w minutes the connection was
“Stabl’uhed and Santos told Napoleon
of his discovery.
"Wail for me, my dear boy, 1 am
coniine." Santos saw Napoleon adjust,
the mechanism to full power, then
dart forward. Titov spoke from time
to time, and Santos gave directions,
until he discovered in the southwest
ern skv the rapidly approaching Amer
ican Eagle.
They met on top of the extinct vol
cano that was call'd Snout* g, on
whoso slopes the richest grape tinea
grow.
Napoleon shook Santos' hand warm
ly and congratulated him on his dis
covery. After he had Inspected the
ground thoroughly he could not find
words to express his Joy, but as he
knelt there, looking up, Ills whole tie
itig expressed a silent prayer of
thanksgiving toward the omnipotent
being who creates mid governs the
universe.
“We don't need to look farther, San
tos; there is sufficient cirynith under
our feet, to meet the demands of the
coming century.”
They started homeward.
