* SITES OF HISTORIC INTEREST
Many Places Around Dutch City of
Doom 8hould Be of Internet to
the Kaisor.
Doorn. the little Dutch town now
the home of the former emperor of Germany,
Is surrounded by sites that may
gtve the former kaiser cause for reflection,
says a bulletin of the National
Geographic society. At Rhenen he
might find an historical companion In
misery. Frledrlch of Pfalz, the exiled
king of Bohemia, took refuge there.
Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of
Rhenen Is Its tower, which bears the
name of Kunera, after the daughter of
the ruler of the Orkney Isles, who accompanied
Ursula and her 11.000 virgins
on a pilgrimage to Rome. Upon
their return, according to the legend,
now known to have been based on a
misreading of a Latin text, the maidens
were coming ashore to Cologne
when Hans killed them all except Kunera.
Later she leaped to.her death
from a castle parapet.
Prom the Moravian settlement of
Zelst the former kaiser might learn of
humility, virtue and genuine piety.
Considerable property is held in common
by the people. There widows,
married women and girls are classified
by their attire. At Maarshergen the
Pyramid of Austerlltz was erected hy
Marmont^s soldiers to commemorate
the crowning of Napoleon. At Utrecht
the treaty was signed which opened the
way for Britain's present great commercial
power, os it gave her Gibraltar
and several colonies.
PURPLE DYE FROM SHELLFISH
Possibility That New Industry May Be
Developed, Since the Supply le
Inexhaustible.
On the Pacific coast of Costa Rica,
especially in the region about Cocos
bay, there abounds a kind of shellfish
called the "nvascol," from which a
fine purple color Is obtained. So far
no way has been found for preserving
this dye, and the Industry has remained
In the hands of the few old people
who take the trouble to dye a few
ounces of thread every summer. * The
process is very simple. On picking up
the shell from the beach or detaching
It from a bowlder, the gatherer blows
ner breath Into It, wherenpon a few
drops of a greenish liquor ooze out.
This liquor Is collected In a clamshell
and after a sufficient quantity has
been collected the thread Is passed
through It, soon after assuming, on exposure
to the sunlight, a beautiful
purple color, which is absolutely fast
after it has turned purple. It la
thought possible that the dye turns
fast only on exposure to the air and
that the'liquor could be preserved by
keeping the air from It. There is
little doubt that this Industry of dyeing
thread could be extended to
greater proportions If an extensive demand
at good prices could be found

Gsnsral Wood's First Battle.
When Geronlmo. the last of the
great Apache chieftains, began mnrdering
American women and most
hideously torturing American children
In New Mexico and Arlaona, Leonard
Wood, then an army surgeon, exchanging
bis surgeon** scalpel for a rifle,
became one of a famous little company
which chased the monster over
the sandy and burning plains of the
Southwest and northern Mexico, and
did not desist until the enemy surrendered.
The reports of Generals Lawton
ml "'"op <v!fr>cp? to the hcnlthymindeu
s<. ai which Wood manifested
toward the barbarians who wreaked
their savagery on American women
and children; and the fact that Wood
received that greatest of all military
distinctions for his efficient bravery
In this campaign?the medal -of congress?Is
testimony of the same kind.

Trunk Line* * ? the Air.
Longdistance air transportation will
soon be a commonplace. The successful
trip from London to Australia recently
completed has encouraged Great
Britain to lay out a number of great
air routes, connecting England by
great trunk lines with Its possessions.
The service will be maintained at first
by airships and later doubtless by airplanes.
The first of these trunk lines
will connect London with Canada by
way of Newfoundland. Another line
will operate between London and
Egypt and will be extended to South
Africa. The air lines will be backed
by large government subsidies.?Boys'

PERSHING LAUDS
LEE AND JACKSON
Places a Wreath on Tomb of Confederate
Commander
Lexington, Va., June 18.?While veterans
of the civil and and world war,
stood at attention, Gen. Pershing today
laid a wreath on the tomb here of
Gen. Robert E. Lee. After a brief
address, -during which he referred to
the Confederate commander as one of
the world's greatest generals, Gen.
Pershing visited the nearby grave of
Gen, Stonewall Jackson.
Introduced by Dr. Henry Louis
Smith president of Washington and
Lee University, Gen. Pershing spoke
of Gen, Lee as a "Christian gentleman"
whose charcter and life in war
and peace Americans should emulate.
In eulogizing Gen. Jackson, Gen.
Pershing declared that the world
looks on him and his accomplishments
with admiration and awe. The military
tactics of Gen Stonewall Jackson
are studied throughout the world.
Gen Pershing added.
The ceremonies at the cemetery
were conducted under the auspices of
the Lexington Post of the American
Legion. While in Lexington Gen.
Pershing was the guest of Virginia
Military Institute and the Washington
and Lee Press Club.
FIRST KITCHEN STILL
Greenville, June 18.?The first
kitchen distillery which has yet come
to light in the city of Greenville was
seized this afternoon wh^n a police
seargent and a federal officer raided
the home of Tom Benson, a negro,
near the heart of the city and near a
high class residential section. A two
gallon stove pot, on which was an inverted
gallon bucket, a few feet of
pipe, part of which was probably borrowed
from a gas heater, was coiled
up to make a condenser, was the
simple makeup of the still. Officers
say the still had a capacity of three or
