STONE COFFINS HINT
OF CZARIST REVENGE
MOSCOW, Dec. 29.—Moscow’s histo
rians are trying to solve an amazing
mystery, traceable to the days of cruel
ty under the ancient Czars.
While excavating for a boiler be
neath the Air Fleet building in the
venerable Chinese City, workers re
cently discovered three stone coffins
lying in the peculiar posture of a three j
pointed star.
At the point wiiere the three cof
fins met they found a large pipe, obvi
ously serving as an air conduit to the
interior of the coffins.
Although the three, skeletons con
fined within their weird enclosure
afford no solution, it is believed that
they are the remains of three victims
buried alive centuries! ago, as revenge
for some act directed against the rul
ing autocracy. The air pipe was to
prolong the torture.
HUNTER REEF WILL BE
EXPUNGED FROM CHARTS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 30.—
Hunter Reef, designated on various
charts since 1791 as being a spot in
the North Pacific near the Caroline
islands, either has disappeared or it
never actually existed, the United
States hydrographic office has found.
The hydrographic officials have order
ed that it be expunged from all exist
ing charts. .
The reef was first charted on the
report of a British navigator.. Its
name will be transferred to an ordi
nary fifteen-fatho mbank about seven
miles from the supposed location of
the reef. j

TO SHOW HE’S UNHURT
DEFIANCE, O., Dec. 29—“Let’s
see you dance! a jig,” was the surpris
ing request made by Police Chief K.
A. Weaner, of Kenneth Higgins, 13,
local newsboy, soon after he was hit
and knocked down by an auto.
Chief Weaner tjien explained that
apprehensive lest the lad’s back was
injured he could quickly determine
the matter if the boy tried to jig.
He stated that the lad was not seri
ously hurt if he could jig. The chief
knew. His back was injured years
ago, and he could not move.
After easing the pain incident to
slight bruises by giving the lad 25
cents, the chief took him home.
