The Fol Gunboat Took .a Mad Fr
- ' ' i.VI Juat Like the Mere.
'Captain John E. Morris, who spent
long, lung .time id tbe Philippines chas
ing the Mora, tells a -story about
Spanish military governor In Jolo who.
to the. peace of fancied security, allow
ed u -whole flock of hie soldiers to so
swimming one day.
.Now. tbe Moro baa a habit of gains
Juramatadu when religion blta hlui.
When a Moro goes Juramatado b
taken the most disagreeable weapon
he -can find and carve up tbe first
Chcistlan 'be meets.
When .tbe Moroa saw the soldiers to
the water several of them thought
was tbe very bent time Jo go J urn ma
tatlo, with, the result that those sol
dlors Dover went swimming any more.
The sultan., who had charge of that
particular bunch of Moroa. promptly
was-eeut for. The Spaniard wanted to
'know why Uls men were slaughtered In
such manner.
"w .could 1 help ttr tbe sultan
asked. "They went Jaramatado."
, Nobody wants to Interfere wltb any
body's religion, of course, but there
was a SpaulHh gunboat lying around
loose in that Immediate vicinity. Tbe
governor sent for tbe commander of
that gunboat -,
"You liawn't hud much target prac
tice lately," be remarked to the naval
officer, "and you might try a little.
Now. a fen' Moros make fulr target
When I wnnt target practice to sto
I'll mo up ii fliig. but until ttw flng Ih
run up keep at it."
tt was one glorious bombardment. A
lot of Moron accidentally gut lilt, and
somehow tbe poot flag was mlxlald. so
It couldn't lie hoisted.
It was a most excited sultan who
showed up before tbe Spanish gover
nor. If that guntKiiit didu't stop itn
nonsenHS ho wouldn't be a sultan any
longer, because he wouldn't have uny
subjects to sultan over. And he told
the governor so.
"How ceo I help ttr' demanded the
governor, with some heat "Tbe fool

PERSIAN GULF SPRINGS.
Fresh Watsr That Bubbles Up From
ths Bsd of the Oosan.
Bahrein Island, in the Persian gulf.
Is said to be tbe hottest place on earth.
It is usual there to find tbe thermom
eter at 140 degrees F." On the coast of
this island, where practically ail the
people live, there la no fresh water.
which is needed above all things In so
high a temperature. And it Is to be
bud from the bottom of tbe sf a. Here
and there scattered over tbe floor of
tbe harbor of Bubreln are springs of
pure - freHb water.' which wells up
through the snud to mingle wltb the
salt water of the sea. , .
It seems n difficult task to find these
threads of fresh water amid the ocean's
volume, but the Islanders are thought
to have f'Amd them ages ago and to
have passed on their location from
generation to generation. A diver
equips hi in. Keif with a water bag made
of skins, the month of which is closed,
and descends to the bottom Of tbe har-;
bor at a point where one of tbe springs
issues. The bag Is carefully Inverted
over the current of fresh water as it
uows up irom me sanu, me mouth Is
opened, the skin is filled, tbe mouth is
closed, and the diver returns to the
boat awaiting him on tbe surface.
One scientist gives It as his belief
that at some period In the shadowy
past that which is now the harbor's
bottom . was not covered by tbe sea.
The springs were then on the shore
and ready for the islanders' needs. Lit
tle by little tbe sea encroached on the
land. , but. tbe location of tbe springs
was not forgotten.
