Piltz Confirmed in Belief That He Was Not Born to Be Drowned. Honolulu, T. H.?Capt. Emil E. Pllti, Hawaii's ancient mariner, has once more lived up to his native title of "the nan who can't get drowned." For eight (lnys, with only his two Hawaiian deck hands to help him, he lefled death in a water-logged and dnklng schooner drifting through island shoals, followed by monster .harks, adding one more adventure to i series of hair-breadth escapes from perils of the sea. The schooner Annie Hk sailed from Honolulu on August 11 with a deckload of lumber. Just outside the har Sharks Awaited the End. bor the schooner sprung a leak and began sinking rapidly. Captain Piltz dispatched three sailors In a lifeboat to seek help. Thoy were picked up, and Honolulu made every effort to locate the drifting schooner for several days. The Annie E. continued to sink until the deckhouse was awash. The intrepid skipper hauled up some of the deckload of lumber and built a house on lop of the cabin. For eight days he and his Hawaiian mates were without food and with but a few drops of water, wallowing helplessly, trusting to the luck of the sea and the fortunate protective something that had given Capt. Plltz his, title, "the man who canbot get drowned." Sharks appeared, cutting the water with lazy, ugly fins, biding their time. Facing what he believed the inevitable tnd Plltz pointed to the man-eaters and said laconically to his two Hawaiian ship hands:! "That big one is for me, this one for you and that for you." On the seventh day, having drifted , more than 150 miles, the Mndawaska, I an army transport bound for Manila, was sighted. It wirelessed the schoon- ! er's approximate position to Hono- | luhi. and the lighthouse service ship I Kaukul found the castaways almost 270 mile s west of Honolulu.

MEN ASCEND FROM WORMS? , ??? ftamoan Tradition as to the Origin of Humanity Is One of the Most Curious. As a term of ridicule, human beings have often been called "worms," and In this connection the Inhabitants of Samoa have a strange superstition regardlflg our origin. A very peculiar occurrence takes place In Samoa once a year for a period of 48 hours. Toward the end of October, a dense mass of sea worms appears on the surface of the water surrounding Samoa. These forms, which are of various ( lengths, are great delicacies of the Samoans! Known as "Palolo," they are sought for with enthusiasm by every native man. wotnun and child, and as they only stay on the surface of the . water for a short time. In favored parts, these worms want watching for! It Is In connection with these weird worms that the Samoans' superstition arose. The story Is that Tangaloa, the t chief god of the Samoans, sent his , daughter, Turl, down to earth to' search for a home. In all the waste of i water there was only a bare rock, and she went and told her father of the shortage of dwelling accommodation. He thereupon gave her a wild vine to plant on the rock which she had found, | and It flourished for a time, then died. Turl was vexed to think the vine, would not thrive, but her father ordered her to dig It up. This she did, : and discovered that all the withered i leaves had turned to worms, and that, in some strange manner, these worms i afterward became men and women. ! And thus the Samoans say, men were i created! BOOKS ONE'S BEST FRIENDS! Assertion Made That In the Imagination of Great Writers Complete Happiness is rouna. When once the love of books has come into a man's life he can never be lonely, he can. never be bored, he can never lose his interest in life, he can never be quite unhappy. Books are the friends that never fall, and the men and women that only live in books are the best and the most real friends of all, If I were to set down the names of the 20. friends who mean most to me, I should find that more than ope-half of them lived In the novels of Dickens and Thackeray, Dumas and Daudet, Wells and Hardy and Meredith. The happy life is not spent altogether in the world of streets and shops and offices. A large part of It must be lived In the world of Imagination. And living with the Imagination of great writers we, too, learn to dream, and the happiest homes In the world are the castles In the air that we build for ourselves. They are. Indeed, the only homes the foundations of which are unshakable rocks.?Sidney Dark, In John O'London's Weekly. Iron and Steel Work In India. India has already laid the basis of a steel Industry In the establishment of two Important and successful Iron and steel works; namely, the Bengal Iron and Steel works at Kultl, which turns out 100,000 tons of pig Iron per month, and the Tata Iron and Steel works at Sakchi, about 155 miles from Calcutta, vvhich has a monthly production of about 20,000 tons. Most of this pig Iron Is converted Into steel, which Is largely used locally In the production of rails and the smaller structural shapes, but even with the additional furnaces now under construction, which In the case of the Tata works will more than triple its previous capacity, not more than a fraction of India's *!eeds of Iron and steel will be supplied from these two works. East Holds Rubber Supremacy. Until ten years ago rubber meant rubber from Brazil. Today Brazil's supremacy Is gone. In less than a decade the far east has jumped to the front and now Is producing nine-tenths of the rubber of the world. In the late sixties, Just when the first experiments with the automobile were under way, an Englishman, H. A. Wlokham, who had spent much time In Brazil, conceived the Idea that rubber plants could be grown on plantations. Securing a commission from the India government he boxed up thousands of seeds, chartered a derelict ship up the Amazon, and stnrted for India. The first trees grew at Heneratgoda In 1881. and that same year the first experiments In tapping began. It Sure Helped. Eight-year-old Raymond came from a small village to visit In Indianapolis the other day. In the village there was no water works and Raymond watered the flowers with a sprinkling can. Neither did they hava a bathroom at home. And he eyed It and the shower It contained with wonder. Finally he made his comments to his nncle, who was very tall. "No wonder you all grow so big here In Indianapolis," he said. "Why, yon have that big sprinkling can In the bathroom so that you can water yourself all the time." Potatoes Used as Currency.
