THE RIDDLE OF THE CYCLOPS
ECLIPSING the other mysteries of
the World wiir anil overshadowing
all other unsolved riddles of the sea—
with the possible exception of the mat-
ter of the Murle Celeste—the unex-
plained loss of one of the United
States colliers, Cyclops, stands pre-
eminent, apparently one of the few
cases on record where the sea literally
opened and swallowed a huge boat,
leaving not the slightest truce of the
vessel or her crew.
The brief and formal announcement
| of the Navy department by Secretary
] Daniels Issued at the time that the
Cyclops was officially Ridded to the list
of missing ships, gives the principal
details In the case, few and Inadequate

Even a sick child loves the "fruity"
taste of "California Fig Syrup." If the

home port on March 13. Since her
departure from that port there has
not been a trace of the vessel, and
long-continued and vigilant search of
the entire region proved utterly futile,
not a vestige of the wreckage having
been discovered.
"No reasonable explanation of her
strange disappearance can be given.
It Is known that one of her two en-
gines was damaged, and that she was
proceeding at reduced speed, but If
the engine had become disabled It
would not have had any effect upon
her ability to communlcnte by radio.
Many theories have been advanced, but
none that seems to account satisfac-
torily for the ship's complete vanish-
ment. After months of search and
waiting, the Cyclops lias been finally
given np as lost and her name stricken
from the registry."
But these are only the barest facts
In the case, and make no mention of
one of the most Interesting points con-
nected with the mystery—the fact
that the Cyclops carried as u passen-
ger Alfred Louis Moreau Gottschalk,
American consul general at Rio
Janeiro and a man who had been In-
strumental In stirring up sentiment
throughout Brazil in favor of the
allied forces. A number of anony-
mous communications threatening bis
life had been received by the consul
general prior to his return to the
United States, in order to resume his
commission In the Fifth regiment of
New York, but the most startling fact
of all was that within two weeks
after the Cyclops sailed and at least
a month before she was reported as
missing a notice appeared In a Rio
Janeiro newspaper stating that n
requiem mass would be celebrated for
the American consul general "lost at
sea In the American co Her Oyclops."
A number of Americans In Brazil
noticed the announcement at the time
and made inquiries about It, but the
newspaper In question disclaimed any
knowledge of the person who had in-
serted the notice and little attention
was paid to It until word was re-
ceived from the States that the collier
was long overdue. American secret
service agents then tried to trace the
clue of the newspuper clipping, but
the trail was too cold. The man who
had brought it Into the office of the
newspaper had disappeared as com-
pletely as had the Cyclops!
Among the theories advanced for
the fnllure of the vessel, seaworthy
in the extreme, and In the best shape
save for a minor accident to one of
her engines, was that she had either
been sunk by a German submarine op-
erating in West Indian waters or that
she had been captured and taken Into
Germany In order that the central
powers might have the benefit of the
large cargo of manganese which she
was carrying. One of tte first acts
of the American authorities after the
signing of the armistice, therefore, was
to examine all German records Scal-
ing with naval operations daring the
period of the war. But, while refer-
ence was found to the sinking of
every vessel which had been torpe-
doed, together with the date of the
attack and the name of the otllcer com-
manding the submarine or raider, no
mention whatever was to he located
concerning the Cyclops. If she fell
a victim to a German submarine, It
must have been one of those which
failed to return to port, else German
pride in the success of their campaign
of frightfulness would have led to a
permanent record ot the exploit.
inasmuch as no storm or even rough
weather was reported in the West In-
dies at this time, the most tenable
theory appears to be that of certain
naval oflicers who maintain that the
collier must have foundered through
the sudden displacement of her cargo—
manganese shifting with the ease and
rapidity of a cargo of wheat. Rut,
until the truth or falsity of this sup-
position Is established hy the discov-
ery of some totally unexpected clue,
the Cyclops must be numbered with
the President, the Naronic. the City
of Boston and the other vessels which
have made the "port of missing
ships." It Is significant, however, that
the Cyclops was the only vessel
equipped with wireless that has ever
disappeared without a trace or u whis-
per of trouble.
of their actions that a Jury convicted
them of murder practically without
hesitation?
The evidence brought out at the
trial showed that Harrison left his
house In the afternoon and walked, or
was supposed to have wnlked, two
miles to Charrlngworth to collect some
rents. When, as evening came on and
Harrison had not returned, his servant
—a man nuined John Perry—was sent
in search of him. Neither Harrison
nor Perry put In an appearance that

The servant maintained that he had
been able to find no trace of his mas-
ter, but when young Harrison Joined
In the search he located a bloodstained
hat which was supposed to have be-
longed to William Harrison. Soon the
entire countryside was engnged In nn
attempt to solve the mystery and the
strange actions of Perry led to his
being suspected of the crime, the al-
leged motive being the securing of
the money which Harrison had upon
him at the time. Under pressure,
Perry stated that Ills mother and
borther had frequently asked him
when Harrison went to collect his
rents, and added that It was his
(I'erry's) belief that the missing man
had been murdered by Mother Perry
and her son.
On the strength of this all three
of the I'errys were arrested, tried and
sentenced to death. Joan Perry was
the first to be hanged, protesting her
Innocence. Richard Perry followed
his mother to the gallows, and finally
John Perry, Harrison's servant, later
retracted his previous statement and
declared that he knew nothing what-
ever of the crime or any possible mo-
tive.
Nearly two years after the three
had been hanged for his murder, Wil-
liam Harrison returned to Ills home,
apparently unconcerned, and telling a
tale of having been waylaid by high-
waymen, kidnaped and spirited away
to the continent. For several days,
he stated, tils captors had kept him
hidden and had then put him on hoard

through the Change of Life I was

two years and was hardly able to do

I did not take it sooner. But I have
got good results from it and am now
able to do my housework most of the

The critical time of a woman's life
usually comes between the years of
46 and 60, and is often beset with an-
noying symptoms such as nervous-
ness, irritability, melancholia. HeaS
li ashes or waves of heat appear to
Cass over the body, cause the face to
e very red and often bring on head-
ache, dizziness and a Bense of sulTo-
cation.
Another annoying symptom which
comes at this time is an inability to
recall names, dates or other small
facts. This is liable tomakea woman
lone confidence in herself. She bo-
comes nervous, avoids meeting
strangers and dreads to go out alone.

Compound is especially adapted to

how, penniless and unfamiliar with
the languages spoken on the continent,
he was able to find his way back
home.
The only apparent explanation of
the entire affair Is that, for some rea-
son, Harrison's presence at Campden
was inconvenient to some one then In
authority. He had lived through troub-
lous times, and had come Into a
changed state of affairs with new
masters. He was familiar with a num-
ber of secrets, and therefore might
have been better out of (he way for

Scheme Has Been the Dream of Many
Scientists, but Nothing Practical
Has Been Evolved.
Three or four years ago a Sheffield
(Eng.) worklngtnan claimed to be put-
ting the finishing touches to an Instru-
ment to enable him "to focus beams of
ether oscillation" and so control the
weather. Unfortunately, the instru-
ment could not have been so perfect
as be thought, for nothing further lias
been heard of It. Before that a Leeds
scientist had come to the conclusion
that it was "within the scope of hu-
man possibility to prevent disastrous
cyclones, hurricanes and storms, and
even to Improve permanently the
weather of the British Isles." The
Idea was the production of an Instru-
ment enabling the operator to collect
or dissemble the molecules which form
the atmosphere, securing the degree
of density desired and so arranging
the best weather required for any dis-
trict or seasonal occupation. More
than twelve years ago Sir Oliver Lodge
demonstrated that fog couhl be dis-
pelled by electricity, though the
process was too costly for adoption
generally.

part whatever In their daily lives. But

Well Protected.
Daniel Garber, the noted Philadel-
phia painter, who lately received a
$2,000 award from the Corcoran gal-
lery, has a caustic wit.
In New England last summer Mr.
Garber was shown over a rich man's

tate. The rich man In the end led the
painter proudly to a garden filled with
execrable statuary.

no less than a dozert scarecrows in
