Nothing that earn through the air from the sea to day mltiga'ed in an; degree the pity and the horror of the Titanic tragedy except as individual distress was abated by the gradual addition of names to the list of the known survivors. There are , do known survivors that are not on the Carpatbia. The Virginian was too late, and found none, and no other ship has ('ported finding any.- In the icy, fog amnhaied ai.a where the T.tanic sank, exposure must soon have destroyed thoae who were left to l.fo belts or wreckage wl en all tho boats were gone and no h dp hud come and . ti e great reamabip ' found, red.

The last heard of the eitifing Liner was at three o'clock thia morning when the women passengers were being taken off in life boats. Her sister ship the Olympic was huriying to her aid. ' The captain of the Olympic reported from Cape Race that he would reach her at three o'clock this afternoon. The Virginian of the Allen line is the nearest ship but is without wireless communication and therefore cannot get word from the Titanic, The last words from the big geat ship in the woi Id is that she is twelve hundred and twenty miles east of Sandy Hook, This is the great Liner's maiden voyage and the lo-cs i millions if he sinks at sea. Mr. Archi bald Butt the President's military aid and Col. and Mrs. John Jacob Astor and other notables are among the thirteen hundred passengers in the first cabins. The Titanic began her maiden voyage by narrowly escaping a collison. This occurrence was regarded by her captain and crew as an ill omen and was re marked by them at the time. After leaving her docks and while proceeding down Southampton water she pissed the White Star liner Oceanic and the American line steam ship New York. The suction of the Titanic's triple screws drsgged the New York fiom her moorings and seven of that vesse's stern ropes parted.

April 20 tb, with headquarters at the Gem Hotel. The Order of The Cinclnna'i is the oldest bereditasy Society in America, having been organized at the close of the Revolutionary War by the veterau commissioned officers of the Continental Line, that is regular . officers of the American Army and Navy. Its object was to perpetuate the remembrance of the mighty struggle through which our independence had been secured, as well as to cement the ties of friendship formed during the war, which the ori g'nal members desired to perpetuate in their elder born male descendants, in succession. Thus the membership in th3 Order is limited to one representa ive, the oldest son, of each officer and then to his ol 'est born. General Wash ington was the first President of the General Society and continued as its presiding officer during the remainder of his life. There are thirteen State Societies, representing the original "Thirteen States," delegate from these rcmp' se the General Society or the Grand Body. Last year the Gener al Sec ety met in its triennial conclave at Newport and was entertained by the Rh K?e Inland branch of the Society, the officers of the Navy War College and Army Post. In 1914 the General So ciety will meet in North Carolina, and it is o be hoped that . 'New Bern will have the opportunity of entertaining its members. By this time, ample hotel accommodations will be provided and we speak for every resident of' the "Athens of North Carolina, "and prom ise the visitors a royal good time and a comfortable well located hall for tha meetings. The first aession " will be held at 10:00 a, m. Saturday; at 1:00 p. m. the members will lunch together and the afternoon will be devoted to a sail on the U. S. S. Eifrieda given by Mr C. D.

A Frrach savant. Dr. Marcel Bar douln, has discovered that Parisians at one time were . clay eaters. The present generation, of course, is ex cluded. The geophagoua Parisians were prehistoric ones. How he dis covered au these facta has been ex plained by him to the Academy of Sci ence. Tbe region of Paris, he aaya, waa inhabited by tribes that made -a practice of mixing clay with thair food. When they bad no other food they aim- ply ate the earth. Montmatre clay, 11 seems, waa particularly nutritive. The sand in the bed of the Seine was an excellent digestive. Children were nursed and brought up on both these delicacies between the ages of three and seven. Many of these vigorous prehistoric babies had already worn out their teeth.' It was thia very fact that proves that they were a gsophagoua race. The remalna of their teeth ahow that they were worn and polished by eating clay and aand, Just like the teeth of the geophagoua or earth-eat ing tribe of Africa and the Paclflo ocean. We know that even in our own day clay-eaters who have degenerated from civilization are. to be found in North and South Carolina. Their teeth present exactly the same characteris tics aa those of the prehistoric Paris ians, who are, therefore, proved to have been fond of a vol-au-vent d'ar- glle, or curried river sand. Certain clays, adds the professor, are proved to have excellent dietary properties. but he does not go ao far as to recom mend any particular dish for present Jay Parisians. Oriental Metaphor. The Oriental speaks naturally - Is metaphor. Even the children conttnu ally use figures of speech which ar often poetical and always suggestive, Th Washington Star thu Quote Bishop Oldham, a missionary bishop of the Methodist church.
