Henlopen Lighthouse, which has guided mariners of (he Atlantic Ocean at Dalaware Bay since 1764, faces momentary destruction because the ocean is so rapidly tearing away the land upon which it is built. When originally constructed it was 1,400 feet back from the water, but today is scarcely 10 feet from the waters edge. 1t is the second oldest beacon in Americ A Grave Digger Out of Job. Because the people in Alken, Ger- many, die so very occasionally, the official grave digger of the community has had to quit his j b end seek other work in order to live. Thirteen months elapsed without a death and he wrote to the city council giving up his place as he could not conscien- tiously accept the salary they offered when he had no work to do. s i e ¥ Silence Wins Travel Trip. Because Guen Gendow, a well- known actor of Sofia, who had come upon hard times since the war, was Bble to keep from talking for one mmonth, he has won a wager that will enable him to spend a vear in travel.

WATER-FILLED CAVE BAFFLES UTAH FINDERS Five Men Penetrpte Cavern for 300 Feet—Forced Back by Lack of Oxygen. By the Associated Press. . VIENNA, October 4.—Women Ex- ploration of a large unnamed cave near Navajo Lake, southern Utah, has been begun by a party of Cedar City residents. Recently five men, wading in water sometimes three feet deep, penetrated the cave for 300 feet, but they were forced out by lack of oxygen. The entrance, about five feet in diameter, was discovered several years ago. Just how far back the cave runs could not be determined by those in the exploration party, but in some places inside it was feet from the floor to the roof. When wore suitable equipment is received ® more thorough survey is planned.

By Cable to The Star and New York World. LONDON, October 4.— The an- nouncement of a proposal®o erect a Dickens Memorial in the Church or St. George the Martyr, Southwark, suggestS the question why it has not been done before? St.-George's is the church of Little Dorrit, the chold of the Marshalsea. She was christened there one Sunday afternoon, “when the turkey, being relieved, was off the lock,” the said turnkey being sponsor; she slept in the vestry on the night she and Maggie were locked out of the Marshalsea; and here, too, she was married to Arthur Clennam. To this day hundreds of American visitors go to Little Dorrit's church, and it is difficult to_make some of them believe that shé was only the child of a novelist's imagination. Whatever form the Dickens Memorial in the church should take, Little Dorrit should be represented. (Copyright, 1924, by New York World.) Noted “Singing” Dog Killed.
