t THURSD THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTTICEL, BAR^IWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA PA6B1 NAPOLEON’S ISLAND HOME TO BE MUSEUM French Government Takes Over House on Aix. v Paris.—Rare new relies of Napo leon’s life on the island of Aix, where he passed the last days of his life in France before going into exile at St Helena, have come into the possession of the French government. It has been announced the house where Napoleon lived at Aix will be come a national museum. The familiar painting of Napoleon aboard, the British warship Bellero- phon shows the defeated and disheart ened man, who a few days before was still emperor, gazing back upon the island of Aix and the fast-receding coastline of the mainland of France. Fled in Stage Coaches. Fleeing from Paris after the disas ter at Waterloo in 1815, the fugitive ex-emperor sought to escape his pur suers by flight from France. Fast stage coaches rushed him soujb to the Atlantic coast, but the path to free dom was barred. At every port Brit ish men o’ war lay off the coast wait ing to trap the little Corsican who had become a hunted outlaw. It was June 22 when Napoleon re nounced his empire in Paris. A few days later he reached Rochfort and crossed to nearby Aix, seeking shelter in a friend's home. July 8. 1815. Be fore landing at Aix Napoleon had been harbored aboard the French frigate Saale and among the relics in the mu seum to be opened at Aix is a diary of his life and reflections white hiding aboard the man-o’-war. Surrendered in July. On a day in the middle of July Na poleon left the bouse at Aix for the last time, surrendering himself to Cap tain Maitland of the Bellerophon. With the ex-emperor on the voyage in to exile went his old aide-de-camp, Bar on Gaspard Gourgard, who shared the solitude of Napoleon’s life on the bar ren rock in the south Atlantic. The great-grandson of the aide-de- camp. the present Baron Gourgaud, has been responsible for buying the mansion at Aix and presenting it to •the nation. With the house he has given to the state many books and other souvenirs of Napoleon, which the baron has collected. Trip Around World in 36 Days Now Possible New Fork.—A .‘Ul-day trip around the world is now scheduled by train and steamship. By tMdng airplanes the globe trot ter can make the journey in about one-third the 80-dny trip of Jules Verne. The new belt line follows roughly the route blazed by Gatty and Post instead of the beaten path via the Mediterranean, Suez canal, and India. The short cut across the United States and spans the Pacific ocean from Seattle to Japan. Keeping well to the north Siberia is crossed by train, reversing the famous journey made by Marco Polo in 126.'!. The new route crosses Russia ■ and from Moscow and Leningrad the globe trot ter proceeds by the shortest route to Sweden. On the theory that a straight line Is the shortest distance between two points the traveler sails from Gothenberg and skirts the northen cape of Scotland on the direct route to New York. The new belt line re duces the trip from about 25,000 to 18,000 mlleiu British Circus Stages Most Grotesque Stunt London. — The world’s most gro tesque circus act, that of an actual hanging on the gallows, is being fea tured by a traveling show throughout Britain. The spectacle is made the more au thentic by the fact that the demon strator was a former public hangman. With the gallows and a “dummy’ body, he goes through the motions of throwing the trap. Gasps of horror greet him everywhere. Attention of the government has been called to the act, but the home minister. Sir Herbert Samuel, said there was no means so far as he was aware to prevent such a display. Sentiment appears to be against the act, but a few, with humor, suggest that this sort of an exhibition might prevent serious crime. Poison Gas Is Being Used in Squirrel Drive Livermore, Calif. — Poisonos gas, made from burning straw and sulphur, is being used by Alameda county agri cultural authorities in a new attack upon ground squirrels. T. S. McGraw, in charge of county rodent extermination, has devised a poison gas machine which he believes is 96 per cent perfect, as compared with the old method of extermination by means of poisoned grain. McGraw’s machine uses 12 sacks of straw a day as fuel, and operates at capacity 40 pounds of crude sulphur. The gas is generated in a steel tank and is carried through several lines of hose, with the aid of a blow er, into the squirrel boles. LIGHTS > TRUMBULL of NEW YORK One of the things apartment dwell ers of New York miss most Is an attic. When we were young, every family had an attic and a cellar and some had outhouses as well. Much that came n .the front door progressed slowly to these repositories, There were per sons wtio made a pretense of cleaning out the attic every spring, but It al ways was full, a storehouse of mys tery and history. There you could find things which had belonged to your grandfather and grandmother, to your parents, to your uncles, aunts and cousins, and things which nobody defi nitely could place, either for usq or ownership. Usually the attic was floored, but frequently there were places where no boards had been laid. Then it was fun for boys to walk tbe >eams. Occasionally an accident hap pened ; as, for example, the time Julian Street’s foot slipped and he went through the plaster up to his hip. Some of the McWilliams family were extremely startled to see a human leg waving through the ceiling above the stair well. • * • But there is no such thing as an atthc for those who live in New Yofk apartments. If you are so drugged by the scent of flowers in the fields where Proserpine roamed that you let ^ome Sicilian sell you an antique chest, so ancient that it still has fresh sawdust in all the seams, you cannot, when you get it back to the United States, just put it in the attic and forget about It. No indeed. You put it in the foyer or the hall, which is narrow enough any how, where it is convenient to run into it in the dark. And, if that relative whom friends always said should have been a paniter, gives you the picture copied from one in the Louvre, you cannot put it in an attic, with a fair chance of getting it down in time in case the relative comes to visit. No, you have to hang the thing oh a wall never intended for pictures anyhow, because that is the only place where there is room for it. The closets nat urally are tilled with folding bridge tables, old magazines, cameras, score £ards, empty suitcases, clothes and shoes. There certainly is no room for anything on the tables or mantelpiece, except for those ash trays picked up in various parts of the world, the bronze and ivory elephants, crystal balls with figures in them and snow flakes which fly when tlte globes are shaken, cigarette boxes, and the few little knicknacks brought by friends from China. Japan. Paris, London. Mexico. Sweden and Atlantic City, to- cether with the cute little carvings of the wounded lion we purchased in Lu cerne. and the book ends from Flor ence. There is also, to be sure, the iron gondola match safe from Venice, and the paperweight from the Empire State tower. And there they stay. There is no attic to which they can progress. \ Margaret ^oover 75.00 Margaret Hoover — .. 76.00 H. H. King 125.00 H. H. King 125.00 TOTAL I.. _ 54,680.05 District No. 13.—Pleasant RilL Gladys M.

You might. If you were in the country, pile them in some meadow, but there you would have an attic, which would be the natural receptahie. If you tried to pile them outside In the city, they probably would arrest you for littering the street, conspiracy against the street cleaners, disorderly conduct, obstructing traffic, and driv ing without a license. • • • 1 can well remember once exploring la the attic of my childhood and find ing a bow and some arrows.lt was no Indian Ikhv, but a relic of the interest in archery of some modern. And would that bow shoot! Even in my inexperi enced hands. It drove an arrow right through the board wall of a cowshed belonging to a neighbor. I certainly had no thought that a cow could be leaning against the inside of that wall. I never could quite decide which car ried on worse, the cow or the neighbor. (©. 1932.

University May Close School of Religion Peiping China.—Yenchlng university, an interdenominational institution closely associated with Harvard uni versity aVd representing a union of several mssionary schools, is threat ened with having to close its depart ment of religion. The Nanking government takes the position that under its regulations for eign mission schools in China may of fer religious instruction as an elective but not a major course. The fact that students at Yenching university major in religion and study in a separate de partment, administered by a dean, is held to be in violation of the govern ment’s regulations.
