The Greatest Name In Goo dtf -Land Sealed Tight Kept RUM bl'EERED BY SIXTH SENSE exploits of Blindfolded Norwegian Have Proved a Puxrle to Expert Danish Scientists. Scientists |u Denmark ?rt pusaled by a Norwegian, one lOmli Knudsen. Wfeo, although blindfolded and ??r? fully watched, steered a steamei through the Intricate channels of the tuirhor of Copenhagen, keeping a true Cdurae and adroitly dodging other ve* sels, He explains this by claiming the possession of a "sixth sense." Knudsen Is h iuan of middle age When he came to Denmark from Chris tlanla, ho became at once an object of Interest to both ifcientllt and layman He was put through many experiments by one of the hauling nerve specialists of Europe, and as s result the spe cialist suggested the trip luto the har bor. Knudsen said that he could guide himself anywhere without* using his eyes, and a steamer was chartered to put him to a supreme test. Knudsen hud no knowledge of the harbor. He requested that a person knowing the channel should hold two Anger-tip* agulnst the side of his head. Profes sor Frldenrelch consented to this, and himself pressed two finger-tips ugalnst Knudsen's temples. The man handled the wheel without a sign of nervousness or uncertainty.

INDIAN KNEW WHERE TO OIG Red Man's Action and Finds Have Considerably Mystified Residents of Missouri Town. The region about Caruthersvllle. Mo., Is rich In lore about hidden gold and silver and mounds rich with pot tery. Too, there are great, strange caves to be found thereabouts, never ending subjects for speculation and wonderment, say the Kansas City Star. A few years ago an Indian went to Caruthersvllle with several- skin maps and dug up pottery that was worth several thousand dollars. He offered Sl.JKX) to be. allowed to dig Into one mound near the town. However, the owner decided that if the mound was worth so much money for explora tion purposes he would do the explor ing. He did and found nothing. Some time later the Indian returned to that section, hired a man with a wagon and team and drove out into the country to a spot where three pecan trees grew in a triangle. He dug down and unearthed two boxes, so heavy that a man could not lift one end of either. He had them shipped away and to this day their contents is a much discussed mystery of that locality. Began Life in Coalpit. Sir Joseph Cook, the minister of the Australian navy and one of the com monwealth's delegates to the peace conference, began life In a coalpit In Staffordshire, England. While a work ing miner he sought to Improve his education In every way, and In his spare moments In the pit acquired a knowledge of shorthand. At the age of twenty-flve he decided to try his luck In Australia and went to K4w South Wales In 1885. He obtained work In a mine near Sydney and took an active interest in promoting the welfare of his fellow-workers. He then became secretary of the local miners' union and this proved the step ping-stone to political life. French Train Operation Poor. The French method of train opera tion differs sharply from the Ameri can. In the United States it Is cus tomary to move the trains by means of the block signal system, under the orders of train dispatchers. In France the chef de gare, a sort of sublimated station agent, Is supreme. He is in ab solute charge of all trains that pass through his station and of the allot ment of cars within his district. A through train having reached his sta tion, It cannot leave without his per mission. This pi*ftctlce brings about ?uch a condition that fewer trains are operated over a French double-track line than could be handled over an American , single-track line equipped with block signals and dispatchers. Wood for Cotton. Wood is now being converted by a new process into a substitute for ab sorbent cotton ? a product which is be ing supplied to the government by one mill at the rate of several tons a day. This absorbent wood is of great value In covering and stanching open wounds. The wood Is ground up and then ipun or rolled out into pure white sheets resembling cotton batting, and is so light and bulky that only about 4,000 pounds of It can he packed In an ordinary box car. This substance coats 28 cents a pound. Sandbag Exercise*.
