NEW YORK.—When the United States Craneship 1 recently arrived at the New York navy yard, Brook lyn, in tow of the transport Sirius, her strange appearance—swollen sides, odd deckhouses and huge crane—disguised a former pride of the fleet, the U. S. S. Kearsarge. One of the most powerful battle ships in the world at the time of her launching in 1898, the Kearsarge was brought from Bremerton navy yard, near Seattle, to assist in the construction of the two battleships on the ways at Philadelphia and New York. Ordered in 1895 and built at New port News, Va., the Kearsarge and her sister ship, the Kentucky, were put in commission in 1900. Their 11,520 tons displacement made them the heaviest vessels in the United States navy; main batteries of four 13-inch and four 8-inch guns, each firing a broadside weighing three tons, put them in the top rank for fire power. Had Daring Construction. The turret arrangement was con sidered a daring innovation, and was a precursor of the now fa miliar system of having the turrets in series, one over the other.

Rosicrucianism, (ro-zi-kroo-shan- izm), is a system of mystical and metaphysical philosophy intended to guide the develoDment of the inner consciousness. Popularly believed to have begun in Cassel, Ger many, early in the Seventeenth cen tury, notes a writer in the Indianap Santa Checks His List olis News, it has been revealed that at Our Store— the fraternity had existed long prior to what was only a revival in Ger Universal many. In 1607, Figtilus, a mythical writer, referred in a pamphlet to Electric Iron the existence of the fraternity in Europe in 1410. An officer of the Universal Electric fraternity states that in 1413 the Waffle Iron greatest revivals of activity oc curred. Another officer mentions Superior one Friesan or Friesau as national Hot Plate imperator of the fraternity in 1468. Cornelius Agrippa mentions the Packard foundation of a branch in 1507, and that Brother Philaiathes was “ in Electric Mixer vested with the power of imper Westclox ator.’’ In a letter from the French Doctor Landalf to Agrippa, he states Electric that he knew the fraternity in 1509.

Watch it boil fast ... Rosicrucianism, System of Mystical Philosophy i s I U. S. Craneship No. 1, shown pass ing through Panama canal, was once one of world’s greatest ships. first-line battleship not named for a state. Instead she commemorated a naval vessel of Civil war fame, which in turn was named for Mt. Kearsarge, N. H. The Kearsarge’s career was not warlike. Completed too late for the Spanish-American war, she was on the reserve list and serving as a training ship for the Massachu setts naval militia when the World war came. Her only casualty was suffered through the peace-time ex plosion of a five-inch gun—with the theoretical exception of one occasion when she was “ put out of action” in a sham battle. Made Craneship in 1920. The Kearsarge was one of the 18 battleships composing the United States fleet which circumnavigated the globe in 1907-1909. Not long after the Kearsarge was extensively refitted, cage-wire masts substitut ed for her “stick” military masts and four five-inch guns added to her secondary armament. But the rap id advance of naval architecture had already overtaken the ship and she was put on the reserve liat. In 1920 her masts, turret guns, propel ling machinery and one funnel were removed; a wide bulge fitted to her sides to increase her stability; cranes and deckhouses added and the Kear sarge became Craneship I. The cost of reconstruction was nearly $2,000,000. The naval progress which put the Kearsarge into the discard is strik ingly illustrated by the contrast be tween that ship and the two battle ships North Carolina and Washing ton, now under construction. The new vessels will be more than twice as long as the 370-foot Kearsarge; their displacement, 35,000 tons, will be three times as great, with the broadside of their 18-inch guns in the same proportion. Finally, the estimated cost of the new ships is $70,000,000, whereas the Kearsarge was completed for about $5,000,000— not enough to pay for a modern destroyer. Pipeline 100 Year» Old 1» Made of Hollow Logs CHARDON, OHIO.—A pipeline of hollowed logs 1,000 feet long, thought to be a part of a plumbing system installed about 100 years ago, has been uncovered by D. O. Root on a farm near here. Holes had been bored through the middle of the logs and the end of each log was sharpened to join the next. In one of the logs below the spring was a cut-off. A hole had been bored and a plug inserted. When water was required the plug was raised. It still will operate. Old Log Cabin Shingled SELINSGROVE, PA. - Lyman Baker shingled his 120-year-old log cabin here with the slats from 800 lettuce crates. He nailed the slats over the logs and finished the re modeling with a coat of paint. Arcaded streets, medieval foun tains, gates and towers, plus a loca tion in a peninsula above the river Aare, with the Alps glistening in the distance, combine to make the Swiss capital into a picture town. Berne was founded by Duke Berthold V of Zahringen in 1191 A, D., and al though it is government headquar ters, meeting place of diplomats and a modern intellectual center, it guards its ancient traditions and landmarks with jealous pride, writes a correspondent in the New York World-Telegram. Market days have retained their old-time importance and prove an opportunity for citizens and peasants to meet regularly on a friendly basis. Reminiscent of the era when Berne’s prestige depended much on the aristocracy who lived within its walls, such as the Von Erlach, Von Diesbach, Von Frisching and Von Wattenwyl families, is the Junkern- gasse, street of the patricians, whose old-fashioned yet distin guished residences command in front a far-sweeping view of the winding Aare and the regal Alps. At the entrance to the thorough fare rises the noble Gothic cathe dral of St. Vincent, and in its very shadow, on Tuesdays and Fridays, convenes the poultry market. Shrill protests and cries are heard quite often while this m art is in session, and they emanate from an object of horror—a small-sized but efficiently functioning guillotine, with an exe cutioner in crimson cap in attend ance. Here chickens have to give up their lives for Bernese dinners. time in his new picture, “The Ar kansas Traveler,” which comes Sun day at the Oasis theatre. In this story of life in a typical small town. Bob will be seen as a happy-go-lucky wandering printer who takes over the editorship of a country newspaper and fights a war against political corruption. His new role continues the trend Bob started In “Wells Fargo” a season ago. He has cast aside his time- honored bazooka and musical come dy gags to blossom forth as a full- fledged character actor and portray er of homely American types. Hol lywood experts claim that he has now won the place occupied for so many years by the late beloved Will Rogers. Remember! FRIDAY, DEC. 16th, i» the BIG DAY! Hot Water Eye Doctor Hot water is one of the best eye doctors. Often simple inflamma tions may be stopped by its use. The danger, of course, lies in diag nosis. The inflammation may be complex, not simple. If hot appli cations do not give ease and relief shortly, take the eyes to the doctor. Water for this usage should be only hot enough to help, not hot enough to burn. The application is to be made to the tightly closed— and kept tightly closed—eye. Under no circumstances keep the eyes open while bathing them. The idea is to increase the circulation in the lids, and by that means help the rest of the eye if it needs help. This is perhaps unscientific, but ex tremely practical. Often it works— and that is what the person involved wants. Early Motor Cycle The earliest known attempt at a two-wheeled vehicle which would proceed under its own power is said to have been made by W. W. Austin of Winthrop, Mass., in 1868. It was propelled by a coal-burning steam engine. Other more or less similar affairs followed in 1884 and 1886. In 1895 a cycle propelled by a com bustion engine using gasoline was exhibited at Madison Square Garden in New York city. This has been called the first appearance of the motor cycle. Life of Toads, Frogs Toads and frogs may live for a number of years if they manage to escape their natural enemies and remain in a suitable environment. There is a well authenticated case of a toad which lived for 36 years and was accidentally killed. The common frog sometimes requires from four to five years to mature in the North and barring accidents which are usual in a natural state would probably live at least ten or 12 years.
