KING’S BROTHER
TELLS OF RAID
BOMBS EXPLODED WITHIN
TWO HUNDRED YARDS OF
THE PRINCE
ATHENS Jsn. 7—Prince Andrew
of Greece, brother of King Con
stantine, in an interview today with
the corrsepondent of the Associated
Press, described the aerial bom
bardment of the allies’ camp at
Zeltenlik, on the outskirts of Salon
iki, December 30.
"The bombardment and the re
ply of the fleets anchored in tne
roads of Saloniki,” said the prince,
"was one of the most extraordinary
sights imaginable.
“I was riding back from the
morning’s work with my regiment
when I was startled by a deafen
ing explosion some 200 yards away
A great cloud of black smoke arose,
I followed shortly by three more e:.'
| plosions. Then came the familiar
rocket-like sound of a shell passing
j through the air, evidently fired by
one of the warships in the harbor.
“Naturally my first thought was
■ that for some reason the fleet was
bombarding Saloniki. Therefore I
rode straight to the nearest British
| post, which happened to be a hos
pital not far from the Greek camp.
“ ‘Why are you bombarding the
! city?’ I asked the officers.
“Then for the first time I look
ed up and saw three machines ful
fy three thousand feet high flying
in line from the northeast and turn
ing just over the harbor toward the
northwest, in which direction they
finally disappeared.
“The bombs dropped with the
greatest precision one after an
other, killing and wounding a num
ber of the allies’ soldiers, but not
touching the city. Meanwhile the
firing of the fleet grew thunderous.
Tn a short time it became evident
that the fire from the fleet was
more dangerous than the bombs
from the aeroplanes, some of the
shells, aimed wild, whistled directly
over the town, one narrowly miss
ing Maj. Metaxas and a troop of
Greek cavalry returning from exer
cise.
“Pieces of spent shells began to
drop with frightful velocity one
even pierced two floors of a tram
station and hurried itself in the
cellar.
“Toward noon a fourth aeroplane
arrived, following the same course
as the others, though flying lower.
The black Maltese crosses were
plainly visible on its wings.
“Riding home along King George
street towards tea time I was as- j
tonished to see French soldiers and1
a dense crowd of on-lookers sur- 1
rounding the German consulate.!
Farther along the other consulates
presented the same sight. The
consuls were hustled through the
crowd ,taken to the headquarters of
the French commander, Gen. Sar
rall, were cross-examined, and then
put aboard the battleship Patrie.”
Asked whether he would return
to Saloniki the prince replied: “Of
course I shall. Why wouldn’t I ? j
Despite appearances, Saloniki is
still Greek.”
ALASKA APPLE TREE PLANTED
IN ’FRISCO PARK
(Fairbanks Citizen)
Und.r the title of “Farthest
North Apple Tree is Shown at
Fair,” a San Francisco paper of the
latter part of October tells of the
donation by Mrs. Juanita Brundage,
the former Second avenue hair
dresser, of a Gravenstine apple
tree. The article is correct other
than in that part which states that
Fairbanks is 100 miles within the
Arctic Circle. It is as follows:
“The first apple tree grown suc
cessfully within the Arctic Circle
was placed on exhibition in the
Palace of Mines yesterday by Mrs.
i Juanita Brundage, a pioneer of the
Alaska gold days. The .tree, a
Gravenstein, was grown by Mrs.
Brundage at Fairbanks, 100 miles
within the Arctic Circle. It was
planted there five years ago, reach
ing a height of seven feet.
Accompanying the article was a
letter from the San Francisco fair
commission. It read, in part, as
follows:
“Two extremes—and both popu
lar American Institutions—met at
the Panama Pacific International
Exposition lately and after im
pressive ceremonies were photo
graphed together, namely, the Lib
erty Bell and the only and original
apple tree ever grown in Alaska.
The apple tree was g^own from a
seed by Mrs. Juanita Brundage, of
Fairbanks, Alaska.
"Mrs. Brundage donated the tree
to Golden Gate Park, in San Fran •
cisco, and at the ensuing ceremo,w
occupied the seat of honor and with
her own hands placed tha last
shovelfull of earth and Alaskan
moss about its roots.
During Mrs. Brundage’s stay in
San Francisco the hardy little apple
tree made many friends, an 1 well
wishers, not only for itself and Mrs.
Brundage, but for Fairbanks. The
tree is now regularly labeled and Id
eated in the beautiful Golden Gate
Park on Harrison Walk.”

THE GREATEST SEA DEPTH
(From the Christian Herald)
A piece of iron will sink to the
bottom no matter how deep the
water is, because water is only
slightly compressible. If water
were highly compressible, as air
is, the water at a great depth would
be much denser and therefore heav
ier, and an object would sink un
it it reached a point at which its
weight would be less than that of
the water which it displaced, and
there it would float, as clouds float
in the atmosphere. But a cubic
foot of iron weighs more than a
cubic foot of water at a depth of
two miles, just as it does at the
sinking until it reaches the bottom.
The ocean has been sounded to a
depth of 32,088 feet, or over six
miles. This is just off the Philip
pine Island of Mindanao. Several
other points in the Pacific show
depths of over 30,000 feet. From
the lowest sea depts to the highest
mountain peak is 61,000 feet, which
is about one-seven hundredth of
the earth’s diameter.

PRl'SIC ACID FROM PEACH
SEEDS
One California company found
itself with 1,000 tons of peach
seeds on its hands last year. They
were cracked up and the meats sent
to Germany, where they made into
prussic acid. The shells were sold
for fuel.
