INTERESTING LETTER
FROM NAVY BOY
j Arnold Melugin, who has been in
the U. S. Navy since before the war,
• writes from Tokyo the following in
■ teresting letter to his mother, Mrs.
C. Fleenor, now living in Grand Junc
, tion:
1 U. S, Black Hawk,
Tokyo, Japan,
| Sept. 11, 1923.
My Dear Mother:
! So this is Tokyo—tihe place of vol
canoes, earth quaikes, famine and
death—but everyone on this old ship
is well and happy, especially myself.
We came up here with a load of soy
beans, rice, dried fish, eggs, beef and
potatoes for the starving Japs and
Americans also a large shipment of
cocoa matting to build houses out of.
We stopped at Yokahoma first but
as we couldn’t get into the harbor on
f account of the wreckage, we came on
( up here and started unloading today.
There is no liberty for us here be
cause the place is under martial law
and anyway there is no place for
pleasure now.
I went over today in a/working
party to clear the ruins in the Amer
ican Hospital, and tho I saw every
thing there was to see,-I saw no hos
pital, only the place where it stood.
All the people were killed or burned
to dqgth but one doctor and he is
aboarg and not expected to live.
T took some pictures and will.send
j ome when they are finished The
I street car tracks are all torn up and
I twisted and the cars burnt right
where they stood. You can hardly
walk for the entanglements of wires
and burnt automobiles, rickashas and
bicycles. I saw pile after pile of dead
bodies burning. This ship is furnish
ing, kerosene and oil with which to
burn them. A fellow told us they
burned sixty thousand yesterday,
twenty thousand the day before and
ten thousand today and that they es
timate eight hundred thousand deaths
altogether.
There are only two buildings of any
size left standing now. Every time
the tide changes a floeik of dead Japs
and Chinks come floating by and
when the wind blows this wav we
sure get a wonderful odor of cooked
garlic and rice. The earthquake only
lasted three minutes but I guess that
was enough according to the damage
done.
The American consul and his family
were killed but the American Ambas
sador escaped. We are sending tents
and furnishings to start him house
keeping again. The harbor is filled
with battleships of all nations and
t.he whole Japanese fleet is here, but
we were the first ship to get in here
with supplies for the refugees. When
we leave here we are either going
to Shanghai. Chefu or Tsingtao for
another load, but we will not start
for a few days yet. All the Chinese
in Shanghai and all over are tickled
to death because there are so many
Japs killed.
Well, mother, I suppose that you
have your new home fixed fine and
dandy by now, It’s ten o’clock so I’ll
say good-night and turn 4%- .
With a world of love, you r loving
son, ARNOLD MELUGIN.

REVEALED IN THE TEACUP
Position and Arrangement of Loaves
Believed by Some to Truthfully
Foreoast Future.
The art of forecasting future events
from the position and arrangement of
tea leaves In one’s cup Is a mysterious
lore which originated In the highlands
of old Scotland. It Is Idle to speculate
as to whether It 1s truth or twaddle
that Is foretold, but there Is a certain
fascination about the teller of fortunes,
asserts the Kansas Olty Btar.
If two spoons accidentally fall In one
saucer there soon will be a wedding In
the family. Bubbles that rise to the
top of the tea Indicate kisses or money.
If round the edge of the cup, kilses; If
In the center, money. To Insure suc
cess In love and fortune these should
be sipped up before they Vamsf*.
A leaflet floating on the top Indicates
a stranger, if short, thick and hard,
your visitor will be a short man. If
long and thin, then a tall, thin person
may be expected.
A lot of old ten leaves floating about
on the top of the tea means worry.
Gather them all up In a spoon and the
worries will be slight ones.
Naming Rotten Row.
“Rotten flow" Is an ugly name, but
It Is that given to London’s most fash
ionable driveway. The curious part
of It is that this homely appellation,
misplaced as It obviously Is, was born
of one of the most beautiful phrases
In the French language.
When the Normans populated Eng
land after the Invasion of 1000, they
gave French nnmes to many locations
and places. So they named the drive
way through London parks "Route de
Uol” (Route of tne King), because It
led to the royal palace. The London
er found It difficult to pronounce this
phrase, and “Route de Roi” degenerat
ed into "Rotten Row.”
Rotten Row is one of London’s show
places. It leads to Buckingham pal
ace from Hyde Park corner. It Is the
center of Interest from a special stand
point, as It is the favorite drive ot
fashion. On Sundays the church
throng Is u brilliant spectacle.
Fish at the Pratt. Kansas, state fish
hatchery are being fed by electricity.
Large light bulLs aie placed at the
edge of the fish ponds and moths,
millers and other insects are attract
ed by the light The water beneath
the lights is soon covered with the
insects which the fish devour eagerly.

worth far more than it costs. $2.00

Ancient Cruft Found on Pacific C,„ M
Los Angeles. Calif,, Oct IS—The
framework and planking of a craft
which has withstood the stress of
veers and which is believed to have
been used centuries ago by Chinese or
Spanish explorers or pirates, have
been uncovered many feet beneath
the earth’s surface at Los Angeles
harbor in excavations for an oil stor
age tank.
The boat, less than 40 feet in length
with high sides, is built of n heavi
thick wood. ' Some of the timbers are
half rounded, ns is the case in many
old Oriental vessels. Metal used to
fasten pieces of the craft together
had rusted away. The construction
of the ship indicated that it was not
built by Indians.
More than a century ago, channels
of the harbor are said to have extend
ed much farther inland than today,
and mariners' say they believe the
vessel entered, became fast in a mud
bank and was abandoned by the crew
What is believed to be the tusk of
a mastodon was uncovered near the
I i mbers
That a Chinese master brought the
-raft across the Pacific ocean: that it
'•tossed the Behring sea and sailed
down the coast to California, and that
it might have been brought around
the horn by Spanish explorers or pi
rates are theories advanced to account
for its presence here.
