Thosa Who Return home to Stay Arft
Often Nothing but Empty
Shells. '
We who knew liiru in the dn.vs be
fore llu city swnllowed hhn up (thut
was 40 yenrs ago) luul forgotten all
iilmut hi in until the other day, vhtn
the nuimlng train rolled In nnd we
stood ready to help unload tht tnilln
nnd then to follow It to th place oU
liiu iilll iiivpart-d for tilin, 'I'mn )IimIIi
writes In the I'nris (Mo.) Merctiry; Ev
ery now nnd then someone like hl(U
comes home to stay, and it Is the snuie
story so far ns we who remain are con
cerned. Not until the train comes to
a standstill and the baggage- car door
thrown open do we remember and
sometimes it Is poignant. When the
city took him he wns young, and,
though bearing a grievous burden, be
went hopefully. When the city gnve
him back to us he was an old man
broken by tunny griefs, nnd doaolutlott
looked up from the dead face, Whereon
tlio majesty of the final peace more
often sits enthroned.
What the city takes nnd what It
gives back are nlwnys different. Seme
times It steeps them In folly nnd i'e
turns dead wrecks, whereon we look
and rend nn ancient regret for things
that might have been better and per
haps in the end, happier. Again It
swallows them up In the vorter of the
gt'eat unceasing, pitiless economic
struggle, fnd, having sapped bi'aiil,
body and soul, returns to us the empty
shell thnt once housed our friend.
That Is what It did to him.
Are 'not some fated to be bound to
the wheel and others to walk in the
glad places, nnd nt the end of the
dolorosa way is not there heavenly
conipcjisatl.iii? Perhaps, but somehow
down deep In our hearts will continue
tile bitterness of an ancient revolt lo
calise of empty nnd Joyless lives, tho
deep resentment because of that blind
fatality, which even through love,
wrecks human nsplrntions nnd Winked
of life an unending tragedy.
RELIQS OF FIRST CENTURY
Portraits of Christ and the Apostle!
Dug Up From the Ruins
of Antioch.
Portraits of Christ nnd the npostles
which, it is believed, may be nutbentlc,
nre on nn old chnllee dug up from the
Hiihs of Antioch and now In the pos
session of n Ann of art dealers in this
city, It became known Inst night.-
The chalice, according to the denl
ers, came directly, to them from the
hands of the excavators In 1910. It
can be dated with certainty to the sec
ond half of the first century A. D.,
says Dr. Gustavus A. Elsen, the nr
eheologist, who Is now In this country,
nnd who has made a preliminary re
trt upon It In the American Journal
of Archeology.
It wns found by Arabs digging a
well In Antioch, Syria. At the depth
of many meters they enme upon un
derground chambers, one of which con
tnined the treasure.
It Is probable, say experts, thnt the
chalice is a replica of the cathedral
erected in Antioch by Constnntlne the
Great after bis reinovnl of the capital
of bis empire to Constantinople.
This Antioch church wns intended
to be the center of Chrlstlnn worship
In the East, nnd remained standing
until the year f26, when, during nn
assemblage of 250,000 Christians, the
city wns leveled by nn enrthquake so
disastrous that one building could not
be distinguished from nnother among
the ruins. New York Times.
Saved by Bullet
It Is better to be born lucky than
rich, they say, nnd no doubt n certain
policemnn of Acton, HU will snnctlon
the sentiment. He was one of n squad
sent recently to nrrest two desperate
criminals who had been located hiding
In n boarding house.
When cornered, one of the men nt
bnv Dressed the muzzle of his revolver
against the policeman's nbdoinen und
pulled the trigger twice.
The first bullet rammed In the bnr
rel nbout nn Inch from the cylinder.
This effectually barred the pathway of
Hie second shot, the force of which
tore n strip from the barrel nn Inch
lonar through which the bullet escaped
thus destroying the usefulness of the
weapon. Popular Science Monthly.

Why Fish Will Fall Upward.
.The deep-sen llsh are subject to n
pressure Internally, by gases, nnd ex
ternally of over two tons to the square
Inch, nnd under this pressure they uro
quite solid. When these fish are
in ought to the surface in nets their
bodies become puffy, their bones loose
and their eyes start out of their heads ;
very often lliey burst. This Is because
the pressure Is released.
When these fish of the deep son
chase their prey or rise for some reu
son high nbove the ocenn bed, the
gases of their swimming bladders cx
pnnd nnd they become light. The llsh
whose Inuscles nre not strong enough
to take It down deeper Into the ocean
expands niortf nnd more until It rises
upwnrd to the surface and Is killed, no
that it really "falls upward."
SIMPLE PRESS FOR PAPERS

Make Extra Money.
There Is a great demand Just now
Cor materials from which to make pa
per, nnd the housewife will do well to
lave all waste paper. It is surprising
liow much accumulates In n short time.
A fair price Is paid for It, ond the eco
nomical housewife should turn It Into
Iritihey.
Many burn their waste paper bo
cause buyers demand that It be baled.
The baling process Is simple. A hoillO

An Odd Collision.
"Ono would Imagine It to be snfe. In

tween an airplane and a steam roller,"
s!iys the Popular Mechanics Mnirnzlne.
"A rear-end ' rash of two so utterly dif
ferent tnncMnes seems extremely In
c.ogruous. And yet this Is precisely
wjuit occurred not long ngo at nn avi
ation field near BiTtTnlo, N. Y. The
steam roller was being used on tb
turf when nn airman Attempted to
make n landing. In doing tills he either
micnlcuhited the relative positions of
his craft and the heavy roller, or be
came 'object struck,' for the nose of
the plane was plunged with consider
able force against the rear of the other
machine. Fortunately no one wns bad
ly injured, but the propeller of the air
craft was broken, the binding gear
