At that time, many of the books were privately owned. Today, with most of the Bibles permanently retired to museums and thus off the market, the price should be higher. The Gutenberg Bible is valuable not for its scarcity alone. It is a curiosity because authorities aren’t even sure Johann Guten berg printed it. In fact, some ex perts claim the Fifteenth century German wasn’t a printer at all!— Washington Post.

Atk year aeSiliteri Doans Pills “Worse Than Drowning* By FLOYD GIBBONS Famoos Headline Hunter H ello, everybody: Charles Quinones of Bronx, N. Y., sends in a yarn that sets a new high for horror. Charley Quinones had a mighty queer adventure. It was one that gave him a choice between two deaths. One of them was drowning—and that’s no fun. But horrible as drowning was, it wasn’t half as bad as that other horror—the one that was waiting for him up above. Charley is a Porto Rican who has come to the States to finish his edu cation. It’s a tale about his native land that he’s going to tell us today. A good many years ago—on April 9, 1927, to be exact—Charley and a bunch of other lads about his own age, started out to do some dynamite fishing. They all lived in the town of Jajardo, on the northeast tip of Porto Rico, and the sea was not far away. They chose a spot called El Faro because of a lighthouse that stood on the hill above ft. El Faro was on the shores of a tidewater lagoon where the fish, at high tide, were large and numerous. Charley and his friends took along food, a pan to fry fish in—and several sticks of dyna mite to catch the fish. Fishing With Dynamite. The tide came through the lagoon at El Faro at a pretty rapid clip. It was at the time when that tide was just turning that dynamite fishing was best, for if they waited while the tide ebbed, the fish would go out with it They attached fuses to their dynamite and one of the boys threw it into the water. There was a momentary hush, followed by an explo sion. The water heaved and trembled. A great wave shot up from below the surface, and with it came fish—hundreds of them—of all sizes, species and colors. They bad to act quickly after that. If they didn’t get those fish immediately the swift-moving tide would carry them away. Half a dozen of them dived into the water and began gathering up the ones on the surface. Charley Quinones followed them—but instead of going after the fish on the surface he took a long, deep dive toward the bottom of the lagoon. Between the Devil and the Deep. The little fish came to the top after an explosion, but the bigger ones sank to the bottom—and it was the big ones that Charley was after. Charley’had made a good dive, but there was no time to lose. The current was even swifter down near the bottom than it had been on the surface. He saw a big fish—and another—and half a dozen more. *T tried to take two,” he says, ‘‘but they were too slippery. I took the largest one within reach and turned my head toward the surface. But at that moment I saw something that made me change my mind.” It was a ghastly sight that Charley saw np there above him. Up near the surface, directly over his head, he saw something white swimming back and forth. A second look told him what it was—and his whole body began fairly crawling with horror. That white thing np there was s SHARK! . Huge Shark Was Terrifying. Says Charley: “The sight of it almost made me faint, and there aren’t enough words in any language to describe how terrified I felt. The monster was swimming closo to the surface and he seemed to bo eating the dead fish that our explosion had brought up to the top of the lagoon. He was huge—one of the biggest sharks I had ever seen, and from where I was I could see his great mouth with its rows of horrible sharp teeth.” Charley saw and thought all those things in a fraction of a second. He knew he couldn’t swim upward. That shark would have eaten him alive in less than a minute. But r he couldn’t stay down there under the water long, either. He had to have air. Already his lungs were be ginning to ache from the strain of holding his breath—already his head was spinning around giddily for want of oxygen in his lungs. Never in his life had Charley been in a worse spot “What I suffered in those moments of cruel apprehension,” he says, “seems incredible now. I never thought the human body and the human mind were capable of standing so much torture. My ears were ringing madly. My lungs felt as though they were about to burst My heart was beating violently. I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t “The water down there at the bottom was dark and gloomy. Up on the surface, a dim fignre, now, in my blurring eyes, the monster still hovered. It seemed that he was waiting patiently for me to come np. Many times I had heard the expression, ‘Between the Devil and the Deep,’ and there I was in literally that same predicament. Desperate Push to the Surface. “And what made matters worse was the fact that no one could help me out of it. I was alone—more alone than anyone has ever been be fore, I believe. I couldn’t hold my breath any longer, and I took a last desperate chance. Pushing madly with my feet, swimming with all the strength that was left in me, I shot toward the surface. It was hardly possible that I could get out of the water before the shark got me. But I had no other choice. “Up I went Then, suddenly I heard a splash—felt a violent blow from a huge body—and lost consciousness.’’ When Charley came to he was lying on the beach, his friends all grouped around him. They had seen the shark swimming around on the surface, and they knew Charley was at the bottom. They thought sure Charley was a goner, but they did what they could. One of the boys got a huge piece of driftwood from the beach, floated it out on the water and struck at the shark—just as Charley was coming to the surface. The shark turned to swim away, and in doing so had run smack into Charley —and nobody has figured out yet who was the most frightened by that collision—the shark or Charley. The other young fellows had dragged Charley, half drowned, to the beach, and Charley says that’s the last time he’s been swimming in anything bigger than a bathtub. ©—WNU Service. International Boundary Markings The land part of the international boundary between the United States and Canada, which is about 1,749 miles in length, is marked variously with monuments of iron, aluminum- bronze set on concrete, stone cairns and concrete, placed at points rang ing from two and a half to four miles apart A vista has been cut through the trees where the line runs over wooded areas. The water part of the boundary is defined by courses and distances between turning points that are referred to as light houses or markers of metal or con crete on the shores of lakes and banks of streams. Softening Water The water is so hard in some parts of the country that softening forms a part of the purification processes. Often, the saving in de preciation of water pipes and in the purchase of soap counter-balances the cost of softening. Usually lime water is mixed with the water in a settling basin and after 12 or 14 hours subsidence, the water is drawn off from the precipitated salts. When the hardness is the re sult of sulphates of lime or magne sia, which cause the water to be “permanently” bard, sodium car bonate, or washing soda is used It soften the water.
