Aldeburgh, t lie little ilshiijg town on the Suffolk coast, has, It Is not at all Improbable, the right to claim the ( Mayflower. the Pilgrim Fathers' fa mous ship, as her own. Aldeburgh, Woodbrldge, Soutlnvold were shlp bolldinir centers at thte time of the Spanish armada and after. In 1500 Aldeburgh Is recorded as possessing 24 fishing vessels of 20 tons each, of whleli 1G were new within eight years. At the close of the sixteenth century and at the beginning of the seven teenth the east coa&t of England was suffering heavily at the hands of the Dnnklrk privateers. A 1028 certifi cate specifies T8 Alderiburgh shlp4s, of the value of ?0,800, lost between 1025 and 1627. of which four had been taken by the Dunklrkers. Of these 13 Vessels two were of 850, two of 320, and two of 300 tons. In the "Victoria History of the County of Suffolk, " the chapter on Maritime History, a foot note states th'gf'brie of these 13 ships was a Mayflower and that, not im probably this was the Pilgrims' vea *1.?

The motorist whq has been buying new tires will be pleased to read that Berlin has apparently produced at laist ifi ersatz, or substitute, rubber which compares well, in essential qualities with the vegetable product and 4osts about two-thirds less. * It is wholly a chemical compound. It may be used not only for tires, but for every sort of rubber goods. Rut this statement is based only upon reports considered trust worthy. No farts have been made ? known by the Germans as to the possibilities of production upon the great scale "Miecessnrv for successful competition with penuino rubber, nor has the sub stitute been actually put on the mar ket.

Professor Moseley, by observation and deduction, draws the conclusion that it was possible for the Indians, 1,000 years ago, to reach the main land from Kelley's Island by swimming find wading only a few streams and marshes.

"A House of Gold." / A house of gold really exists. It stands in a little place called Rosa mond, on the Mohave desert in Cali fornia, as a sort of monument to an old miner who "struck it rich." His Kold properties were in the vicinity of Itosninottfl, which years ago gave premise of some day becoming n city, and when the miner's wealth accumu lated he determined to do something nice for the place, so he reared this structure of rock and put in the en tire front of gold ore from his dls-" coveries. It is a large building, and of heavy construction, particularly that paH made of the gold-hearing rOdk, which runs about $25 to the ton In yellow metal. The mines whence this came have been worked out. It Is not unlikely that some flay, when the building is razed, the rock will be milled and the gold extracted, and it may yiehl a large amount, because some very rich streaks were encoun tered, and part of this rock undoubt edly came from these ledges. Economy Is Foiled. Air. A. hns n relative living In Cin cinnati, whose firm deals In oil of one kind and another. Last fall Mr. A. decided he would paint his house and, thinking he would save a little money, he planned to buy the paint and the oil from the relative at the wholesale price, and to hire the painters. The paint and oil were duly ordered, but arrived too late to be used last fall, so they were stored away until spring. Recently Mr. A. hired the necessary painters, brought out the paint and oil and set them to work. Imagine his chagrin when It was dis covered after the painting was com pleted that the oil was of the common lubricating variety. The mixture did not work, but dripped oft the house like water, and now Mr. A. has work ers busy burning the paint off. The contracting painter will buy both paint and olV for the new coats. Charles Infrolt. The most precious thing In the world ? rndlum ? hns cost Charles Infrolt, scientist of Pnris, his left hand and his right arm, and he wants artificial arms now to continue his research. Infrolt Is head of the nitrate works, and his experiments with radium are among the most valuable In science. During the war he devised a "com pass" to locate splinters of bullets In skull, and was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. He lost his right arm first and then several fingers of his left hand, and finally the whole hand, never hesitating at the sacrifice he was making for science. Primrose Keeps Good Time.
