A GIRL PiR,tTE Chinese !'bates Nelred and Looted Japanese Steamer Lt Broad Day- light — Held ter Petits( t t. Led by a young female with bobe bed hair, (`,hinese elee.t.ns recently seized the Japanese steamer Dell Maru, and robbed the paasengera, s,atd when the ship way at sea revealed themselves as a gang of desperadoes, armed with revolvers, Three Indiaa guards on board were allot, one ser- iously. The Deli Maru, width is awned by the Osaka Shoseu Kalaha, left Swa- tow a four o'clock. Site carried 148 Chinese passengers, An fa usual in these waters, atrin- gent preeautlona had been taken against capture by pirates dlagulsed as harmless Chinese passengers, Strong steel grilles enclosed the steerage part of the ship, and shut the bridge off from any sudden ate tack. Indian guards were also posted at the approach to the bridge. All these precautions, however, proved useless when the woman lead- er of the pirates gave the efgual for the attack. Thirteen of the Chinese steerage passengers, armed with revolrvera, at once leaped from their hiding places and attacked the ship. Headed by their woman leader brandishing two revolvers they rushed towards the bridge, The three Indian guards, taken unawares, were rttthlesaly shot down. The steel gates of the grille were quickly smashed, and in a .moment the desperadoes swarmed up the bridge, overpowering the second offi- cer, who was on watch. At the same time an this attack upon the deck took place other par- ties of pirates appeared In the englue- room, where no resistance was offer- ed. In a few minutes all was over and the pirates were In control of the ship, Under the threat of instant death the otikers of the Dell Maru wore forced to steer their fillip to Bias Bay, where so many ships have been pile Caged in reoent years. Throughout the Journey the woman leader of the pir- ates, who was well dressed, kept crone stint watch. The Deli Maty reached her dead - nation, and anchored In the Samcha. Inlet, where the pirates tooted the vessel in Mead daylight. They also robbedihe.,pasaengerx and shlp'e of• ra eTe their vteluables, and It is altered-.'' tint , their total haul amounted tb $u,u00, At half -past eight the looting was aver, and the pirates took the booty ashore in two of the ship's lifeboats. They also took with them four deck passengers, wealthy Chinese business men, belonging to Shanghai, whom they are holding for ransom, and threaten to kill if the ransom Is not paid, The ship then proceeded to Hong Kong, where the wounded men were taken to hospital, KEY TO MIRACLES. Amazing Feats Aro Ilse Result of Animal Psychology. For really strange sights we re- commend you to an institution In Moscow, where you can see a wild cat mothering a tiny mottos; a dourestie cat fostering a brood of rats; a wolf playing with a ram; a bear that oper- atoa a water -pumping system; birds that jump on the muzzle of a gun as soon as it is fired; and dogs that "talk" to their masters. These antazine, feats are the result of training by V aditair Durov, a Russian who has devoted years to the scientific study of animal psychology. Animala, he has found, will let aotue human beings do almost anything with them, and he suggests this as the key to many of the miracles re- corded by history, including Danfet In the lions' den. Durov has taught wolves to fear sheep, turned a gentle dove into a vlcloue creature, and taught a chim- panzee to write. During the war several of hie trained seals were used as mine - cutters. Equipped with a mouth at- tachment of razor -blade sharpness they, sought mines under water, and with a few slashes rendered them in- effective, Actual photographs testify to the truth of this, Newspapers 2,000 Yeats Old. "Newspapers" in the form of large stone tablets have been discovered during excavations at Ostia, in Italy, One is said to record the death of Pompey in 49 B.C„ and the will of Julius Caesar with his bequests to the people of Rome. Because of his despatches (rain the war in Gaul, Caesar is often called the father of journalism, but it seems I that Cicero, born In 106 13.C., has a greater claim to this distinction. 31- oera used to post In the galleries of hie villa at Tusculum a record or journal of the passing events of note, with a list of births, deaths, and mar- l *gee. From a letter of Clee.ro's it I is known that he used a system of abbreviated writing. Brave Sweetish Woman. "The Lifeboat" has an article on a Swedlah woman who le a regular member of a lifeboat crew. Miss Naomi Sjoberg lives at Enskar, and goon out fishing with her father, the lifeboat coxswain, in all weathers. Shortly after a lifeboat was stationed at Enskar one of the llteboattnen lett the place and no other man could he found so Min Sjoberg has taken his place. In Great Britain many women help in the work of launching, but there are no women In the crews. Paris Driver's Test. An unusual contrivance called the "perceptotaqutnreter" must be con- fronted by all Paris bus drivers who seek driving licenses. The apparatus tests their ability to judge tate speed of approaching vehicles. FirstUpright Piano. The tint upright piano was pa- tented 1n 1080 by John Isaac Haw- kins, an Englishman, who at that time Was residing in the tinted States CII i OF f 11111 Italy's rilltirriutt (,,r' of n Pott front Se bleb lets/twee tins Departed. Plume, the dlvlil 1 city, the opt !+oat of two states, le at the very tip of Italy's meet eeeteve point of ex- pansion, Much of the city Is in Italy, but it la divided by a small river and the part beyond that is in Jugoslavia, A short bridge joie:: the two coun- tries, and the senthtele station at Moth ends let, hundreds of people croaa daily, for many live le one part of the city and do bustnose In the other. However, there 1an't much business done In the. Italian part of Plume, says a correapoiedent of the Chrietian Science Monitor, Everyone knows that Italy is ehep- ed as a hoot, with tho heel turned east, If one pretended that his left arum were the Adriatic sea running along the baelt of the boot between Italy and Jugoslavia, then his lett hand, held palm downward, with the fingers together and the thumb dis- tended, would roughly resemble the forked upper end of the sea. At tate tip of the forefinger la the excellent port of relate, which before the war handled a large part of the traffic er lower central Europe, At the end of the little finger across the sea from Trieste le Venice, Europe's most mysterious, captivat- ing city, resting in the water. The peuineuta between the forefinger and the somewhat distended thumb is the letrltory which Italy Iron from Auo- trla as a result of the great war. Across the peninsula, at the end of the thumb, on the Inside, la Abhaata, a much frequented seaside resort. At the end of the thumb, on the outside, is Fiume, the divided city. One may travel from Trieste, across the mountainous peninsula of Ab - basin, over an excellent automobile read forty miles long, In an hour mei a half. Thea from Abhazla one goes in ferryboats acrotts the end of the sea to Ftume, forty cool and delight- ful minutes away. Almost the whole shore is tined with bather.. But as one enters Flume's excel- lent harbor, all is quiet and still. There is no bnsineaa, no traffic, no going and coming of boats. National. istically saved, romantically delivered by the Italian poet, d'Annunzlo, Fi- ume le commercially ruined. All the business of Jugoelevia goes through her part of the port, Rijeka; all the traffic of Austria and northern Italy goes through Trieste. Flume alta proud, attractive, patriotic and pe- nurious. The grand governor's palace glistens en the height. Bea ;lit01 villas eland out white upon the tree - covered hills. Several magnificent new buildings have been put up. Pine looking banks have been opened. Gilt they rcuuttn largely idle, and th,i enormous warehouses stand to npty. Fiume is all dreeesed up, but has no place to go, or rather ban nobody to come and make her a deft. Italy feels happier to have Flume as her port, though it is idle, than she would be to see it busy though a free port. It used to handle the traffic it Croatia and Hungary, and Italy hon again invited Hungary to use 1t as her shipping point. Perhaps it will again welcome and send off heavily laden ships. and the flag of Hungary will be r:,- morn on the Adriatic, At ;,.c-:leet e a wh'ete, glittering gem at the t!,; ':f l.; ;'s cmph'e, and a trip from there to Abl.tazia on a jaun- ty little ferryboat, along the rim of the Adriatic, is a delightful way to spend part of an Aecust clay, .it.ershipped, 1', ,t:r ; f rho Muses were uflee t hat I1. ,•z were actually wur htppad by the an- cients as Goddesses of gong, Thee were nine of them, a 2 -et which hoe given a kind et character in musical matters r. hat number.

Italian part of Plume, says a correapoiedent of the Chrietian Science Monitor, Everyone knows that Italy is ehep- ed as a hoot, with tho heel turned east, If one pretended that his left arum were the Adriatic sea running along the baelt of the boot between Italy and Jugoslavia, then his lett hand, held palm downward, with the fingers together and the thumb dis- tended, would roughly resemble the forked upper end of the sea. At tate tip of the forefinger la the excellent port of relate, which before the war handled a large part of the traffic er lower central Europe, At the end of the little finger across the sea from Trieste le Venice, Europe's most mysterious, captivat- ing city, resting in the water. The peuineuta between the forefinger and the somewhat distended thumb is the letrltory which Italy Iron from Auo- trla as a result of the great war. Across the peninsula, at the end of the thumb, on the Inside, la Abhaata, a much frequented seaside resort. At the end of the thumb, on the outside, is Fiume, the divided city. One may travel from Trieste, across the mountainous peninsula of Ab - basin, over an excellent automobile read forty miles long, In an hour mei a half. Thea from Abhazla one goes in ferryboats acrotts the end of the sea to Ftume, forty cool and delight- ful minutes away. Almost the whole shore is tined with bather.. But as one enters Flume's excel- lent harbor, all is quiet and still. There is no bnsineaa, no traffic, no going and coming of boats. National. istically saved, romantically delivered by the Italian poet, d'Annunzlo, Fi- ume le commercially ruined. All the business of Jugoelevia goes through her part of the port, Rijeka; all the traffic of Austria and northern Italy goes through Trieste. Flume alta proud, attractive, patriotic and pe- nurious. The grand governor's palace glistens en the height. Bea ;lit01 villas eland out white upon the tree - covered hills. Several magnificent new buildings have been put up. Pine looking banks have been opened. Gilt they rcuuttn largely idle, and th,i enormous warehouses stand to npty. Fiume is all dreeesed up, but has no place to go, or rather ban nobody to come and make her a deft. Italy feels happier to have Flume as her port, though it is idle, than she would be to see it busy though a free port. It used to handle the traffic it Croatia and Hungary, and Italy hon again invited Hungary to use 1t as her shipping point. Perhaps it will again welcome and send off heavily laden ships. and the flag of Hungary will be r:,- morn on the Adriatic, At ;,.c-:leet e a wh'ete, glittering gem at the t!,; ':f l.; ;'s cmph'e, and a trip from there to Abl.tazia on a jaun- ty little ferryboat, along the rim of the Adriatic, is a delightful way to spend part of an Aecust clay, .it.ershipped, 1', ,t:r ; f rho Muses were uflee t hat I1. ,•z were actually wur htppad by the an- cients as Goddesses of gong, Thee were nine of them, a 2 -et which hoe given a kind et character in musical matters r. hat number.
