SUBSCRIPTION S1.00 PER YEAR SEEK MANGER WHERE CHRIST WAS BORN Jerusalem Relic Now Re* vered May Be Wrong. London. , Excavations , started after an accidental discovery are expected to reveal the manger tn which Christ was born. A rock-hewn grotto at the Church of the Nativity at Bethlehem has been shown for centuries as the manger, hut the new excavations seem to show hat tradition has been mistaken the Bethlehem correspondent of the Sun day Express says. 1 hough It is agreed that the Church of the Nativity, the oldest Christian building lu the world stands on the site of the nn where Mary and Joseph sought shelter, not all authorities be “eve the manger now venerated to be ' >»f C ° f la The rh Church , of the Nativity actually ts a series of monasteries and churches of three sects -Greeks, Latins and Ar mentans under one room. Below the transept, reached by a circular stair case, Is the Grotto, or Chapel of Na tivity. The pavement in the underground Chapel of Nativity was broken. After discussion between the three sects It was arranged that the public works department of the government should replace the flagstones. When the workmen removed the old stones and started digging, they were surprised to find the remains of some former building. The antiquities department tn Jeru salem was called in, and walls, pillars, doors and stairs were revealed. Gov ernment archeologists are now sinking shafts at three places. It is thought by some experts that the remains found are part of the orig inal church erected by Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor, in the year 880. These parts, apparent ly, were covered by Justinian, who made alterations tvvo centuries later. A new pavement has been found and a subterranean vaulted roof. Through this massive roof Is being sunk a shaft Into what may be the actual manger, the stable portion of the Inn where Mary nnd Joseph sought shelter after they had been refused admission to the inn "because there was no room for them.” i Underground Fortress Holds England’s Gold London.—A fortress In which Eng land’s gold reserves will be housed. containing safes Impregnable to as sault, bombardment, dynamite and flood for 500 years, Is being built un dor the streets of London. The safes are being built by the Bank of England and are costing $2,- 500 , 000 . The language of ttie conserv ative official reports describes them as “artillery proof." The safes will probably be finished ln three years. They consist of three sections, one of which is already fin ished and another under way. The strong room rests ou a three-foot bed of concrete, reinforced with hardened steel rods. Over this a layer of weld ed steel Is spread. From this the sides and ends are carried up to form a gl gantlc box into which the safes and vaults are built. The only approach is from above, for no amount of tunneling and blast Ing would grant an entrance below, The entrance to the vaults themselves Is guarded by a great safe door weighlng 25 tons and having a combi nation code. The combination Is dl viiled, and no one person knows the whole of it. The vaults are so constructed as to be safe from flood waters and raging tires. Adequate precautions have been taken against hold-ups through an elaborate system of electric alarms. Village Smithy Now Operates Welding Shop Mason City, Mich.—Jack Fowler, who has not shod a horse ln 11 years, is still Mason's village blacksmith.

Captain Dingle, who writes all those stories of the sea, lives ln England. He went ashore tn some boat he owned, and lost not only the craft it self, but a large snake skin, wblcb he had wrapped around the lower part of his mast. As be and John Oliver La Goree had a common Interest. In that both knew a lot concerning An dros Island, Captain Dingle wrote Doc tor La Gorce frequently. One letter told of his loss and aski-d If anybody had any loose boa constrictor skins. Tt happened that on ont of tils many trips to distant placet; Doctor La Gorce had picked up that very article. He never had used !t much as there didn’t appear to be any real place for It around the house, and he didn’t have a boat. But tt was a swell snake skin and be shipped tt to Captain Dingle. * Haying performed this kindly act, John La Gorce got to worrying a little. After alt, he had been the possessor of that snake skin for several years and perhaps tt was a bit rusty. He didn’t want to become known as a maa, wiip. would send a- frUnd epidermis of a serpent. Perhaps he should first have gent It to the clean er and presser, or had It straonlzed. ft got so on bis mind that he wrote to several boa constrictor dealers tn va rious parts of the world, told them his story and gave them Captain Dingle’s address. Then be felt free to turn his attention to other matters, Within a reasonable time. Doctor La Gorce received another message from Captain Dingle, It didn’t even con tatn ten words, reading merely: “Have quit drinking.
