The Cryptic Cable.
For smartness the following will be,
very hard to beat.. A well-known per-
sonage in Devonshire had just received
a cable from his soldier son in. Meso-
potamia which contained only three
words, "Two John twelve," At first
the receiver was baffled by the mys-
terione message, but after much puz-
zling the mewling dawned upon bim.
Taking down hi- Bible he tnrued up
the Second Epistle of St. John and
read the twelfth verse, which runs as
follows: -"Having many things to
write nnto you, I would not write with
paper and ink, but I trust to come un-
to you and speak face to face that our
joy may be full." His -son was on his
way lionie!

BRITAIN WILL LAUNCH
WORLD'S LARGEST WARSHIP
A deapeteh hem 'Lonflon says: -
Appointments ere now being made to
-.Great Britaia's biggest warship,
H.M.S. Hood, which will be convicted
about the end of October. This meg-
niachnt vessel is quite unique, repre-
senting as she does an absolute blend
of the battleship and battle cruiser,
anti having all the gun power or the
former tyre tombined with the tre-
mendous speed of tho latter.
Although official details are still
withheld, she is known to be by far
the largest warship in the world. Her
displacement IA not less than 40,000
tons, 12,500 tons more than the Queen
Elbe:ben, and she is almost 900 feet
in length in her Jinn hove been em-
addied all the clearly bought experi-
ences of t3utland in regard to armor
and under -water protection.
tier armament censists of eight 15 -
inch guns --not 1$ -inch as some papers
have erroneouitay stated -which she
can bring into action at a speed of ;
about SS miles an hour. The Hoo -d,
in fact. promises to prOge quite as
epoch making as the Dreadnonght.
and in naval circles the results of her
trials are awzdted with keen interest.
AZTECS HAD MIRRORS.
British Museum Has An Obsidian Mir-
ror Used by Ancient Mexicans.
Crystal gazing and the use of magie
mirrors played .an important part in
religion and wizardry In the past, and
though almost every nation had its
own method these did not vary as
much as it would be supposed.
Thus while Japan had in her inner
temples mirrors which only the priest
saw,' and which were always to re-
flect the good and the beautiful for
the gods, the ancient Mexicans taught
that their Goll Texcatlipuco had a
magic mirror in which he saw every-
thingUnit happeued each day in the
world.
A real obsidian mirror with its
strange textile string still attached is
in the Britteh Museum new and was
used by the Aztecs and ancient Mexi-
cans for various purposes. and very
probably for srystal gazeng. It is
much the same as the other crystal§
used by somallEi'd ':wizards," so far as
its shape is concerned. Even in re.
cent years crystal gazing has been
practiced, and. it is said by those who
have tried it that the mirror or cry-
stal seems to disappear into a mist
after it has been stared at in complete
silence for a great length of time, and
then -if ever -the visions appear.
