THERE Is NO DEATH.-H it be true
that Nature abhors a vacuum, it is
equally true that the Great Creator
abhors death and glories in life. There
is really no such thing as death-the
term is a misnomer, used to designate
the changes which occur in life. Life,
eternal life, is created by the laws of
Almighty will-power, which are as i'm
mutable in their application as is the
existence of the Creator Himself. When
God made life, He made everything
necessary to sustain it, but left it for
mans progressive intelligence to dis
cover, convert and utilize. Good medi-
cine is to the ailing physique what good
fuel is to the expiring flame; the better
the fuel, the quicker the fre-the bet
ter the medicine, the quicker comes
relief from pain. CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
B1rTERs is Ife's elixir for old or young.
Use this medicine properly and you will
live to a good old age without those
physical ailments which make seventy
years a burden. Is

Shocking Death of a Prominent Rail-
Way Official.

A serious railroad accident happened
on the Both ult., three miles west of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, resulting in the
instant death of John B. Watkins,
General Superintendent of the Iowa
Division of the Chicago and North
western road. Albert Keep, President
of the road, Mr.. Watkins, and q num-
Der of other prominent railroad men,
were travelling in a special car attached
to the Pacific express, going east, when
within three miles of Cedar Rapids the
engine broke down, and while the train
was at a halt a freight train came thun-
dering along. MI. Watkins, hearing
the freight approaching, jumped from
his sleeping berth, calling upon Mr..
Keep and others to follow him. He
opened the door, and while standing on
the third step of the front platform of
the directors car. the trains collided,
and the platforms breaking to pieces,
Mr.. Watkins was crushed between the
Pullman and directors car, the iron
railing striking him just above the hips,
cutting his left leg nearly off Just below
the trunk, and forcing out his bowels.
He lived about 20 minutes a~fterward,
and was conscious almost to the last.
He said to the porter in charge of the
car {: "Isaac, can't you help me out of
here, amt there no way to get me out ?"
Isaac gave him ONE brandy and water
to drink, put a pillow under his head
as it rested among the splinters against
the broken door of the car, and in this
awful position the poor man gasped his
last breath, e~xclaiming at every gasp,
ooh dear! oh lear !" The steps OF
the car were covered with his life's
blood. A large pool had collected on
the track underneath, and the snow for
a hundred feet back along the track was
crimsoned with his blood. When the
cars were pulled apart, which was four
hours after the collision had taken
place, his body was found to be nearly
cut in two, and his legs and thighs
hanging by shreds of skin from the
trunk Of the body. Mr. Keep also had
a very narrow escape. He followed Mr..
Watkins on the platform, and was
thrown with great force through the
door of the Pullman car, receiving
many slight wounds on different parts
of the body. Mr.. Hughitt and the rest
of the party in the directors a also
had very narrow escapes.

Mirage of the Moon.

The Toledo (Ohio) Commercial re-
lates the following extraordinary phe-
nomenon:
A sight very rarely seen was witnessed
from this city yesterday forenoon, Oct.
10. The morning was one of the
brightest sunlight, with a sky remarka-
bly, clear. About $50 our attention
was called to what at first sight was
taken for the moon, the only thing ap-
brightness in this presence of such clear
sunlight. The appearance was in a
northwesterly direction, and at an angle
of As degrees from the horizon. A sec
ond thought, however, showed that the
moon had set about two hours previous,
and, of course, was then far below The
horizon.
The mystery was at once solved by
the reflection that what was seen was
simply a looming u mirage of the
moon Such phenomena in'the case of
shipping and other objects in connection
with larger bodies of water and extern
sive plains are frequently seen !; but we
never before heard of this kind. Occur
ring, al it did, over the land, and some
distance from the lake, makes it the
its last quarter, and it's lines were most
distinctly drawn, though upon careful
examination something like a tremulous-
ness could be observed.
The explanation of the mystery is IA
miliar with all students in astronomy
and atmospheric phenomena. 1t was an
optical illusion, due to unequal densi-
ties and refracting powers of adjacent
strata in the air. Sometimes the opera
ton is simply a refraction or bending of
the rays of light in their pass ge from
one strata to another while at others,
the angle and relation of strata being
favorable, there is a perfect reflection,
as from a mirror. In the present case
it had more the appearance of a re1ec-
ton. This phenomenon is oftner OBJ
served in the morning, for the reason
that the atmosphere near the surface of
the water or the land retains its heat
through the night, and hence is rarer
than the strata above. Thus rays of
light, as in this case of the moon, is
passing from the rarer to the denser
medium are refracted or reflected, ac-
cording to the inclination of the angle
and the relative densities of the strata.
Many curious cases of mirage are re-
corded. Capt. Scoresby, in 1922,
saw the ship Fame at a distance of
seventeen miles beyond the visible
horizon of the observer. In 1906 the
whole of Dover was seen at Ramsgate,
England, though ordinarily only the
tops of the highest spires were in sight.
From Sandusky, Ohio, the islands and
shipping ON the lake have frequently
doomed up ten to fifteen degrees above
the horizon of the observer !; while the
Canada shore could be seen with a glass.
Travellers on the plains of the West have
observed like phenomena. But the
presentation of the moon, as in the pres
ent case, has not before been known to
us. At all events, it was q remarkable
and highly interesting phenomenon.

THE great natural product at present

The IrOnsidcs Disaster.

Nearly every one Of our readers
have probably heard something Of
the loss of the propeller Ironsides
on Lake Michigan, on Monday of
last week. Below we give n state
ment of the sad occurrence, made
by the clerk of the boat:
1--WE left Milwaukee at $40 at
night, with nineteen passengers and
crew of thirty men, and were due
in Grand Haven between 5 and
this morning. The cargo consisted
of $4,000 bushels of wheat, SOC
barrels of flour, 125 barrels of pork,
and some miscellaneous articles.
This was very light cargo, since
the boat could carry 400 tons. A
moderate breeze was blowing
from the southwest. which con-
stantly increased until it became a
terrific gale before daylight. ! did
not get up until 0 o'clock, when the
boat was rolling fearfully. j inn
mediately went below and found
the men working at the pumps. The
water had already put out the fires,
and the engines were useless.
then went to the Office and got the
passenger-register, money, and
manifest, and went on the hurricane
deck, where / found Capt. Sweet
man getting the foresail on. He
was thoroughly self-possessed, and
the men obeyed orders promptly.
We then made about three miles
towards the shore. The signal OF
distress had been raised at $50.
About 10 o'clock the passengers all
put on life-preservers, for il was
evident the boat must 60 down.
At 1l:20 the Captain ordered the
boats TO be manned. In the first
boat all the lady passengers, except
one, were placed; in the second
boat were ten or twelve of the pas
sengers and crew. took charge
of the third boat, which carried
seven passenger, including one lady,
and two of the crew besides my
self. all Of whom were saved. AZ
Ter I had pushed of, j saw two 9th.

In. My boat was hardly half a
mile from the Ironsidcs when she
sank, stern foremost, about five
miles from shore. 1t was ten min
utes past twelve when she disap-
peared. She was estimated to be
worth about $4,000; was thor
oughly overhauled last winter, and
was considered one of the staunch-
est boats on the lake."
We also give a statement of F.
N. Ripley, of Lowell, Mass, who
was one of the passengers:
"The sea became so rough lit
tie after midnight that l could not
sleep, though accustomed to the
water. Before daylight the boat
rolled so desperately that every
movable thing was smashing about
the vessel, and it was impossible to
cross the cabin. 1t was between 7
and s o'clock when we came in
sight of the harbor, and it was so
rough that it seemed unwise to at
tempt an entrance. We could see
the lighthouses and the vessels on
the beach, and wondered that no
one came to our relief. 1t was
sad sight. The passengers stood in
silence, with their life-preservers
on, knowing that in few moments
they would all be at the mercy of
the breakers. But all were calm
and self-possessed. Capt. Sweet
man behaved with the utmost cool
ness and courage, and the crew
Dbeyed every order readily. We

axes" ;
