One Meal a Day.

At late meeting of the Baltimore
Academy of Medicine, DIR. Corden thus
briefly reported the cure of gentleman
of that city-understood to be Mr.. II.
K. Gregg, real-estate' agent He is
now 50 years of age, six feet three and
a half inches in height, and weighs l20
pounds. At the age of IA he had typhoid
fever; since that time he has never been
sick. Weight is the same now as at 81.
At the age of 25 he lost his appetite for
breakfast, and has ever since dispensed
with that meal. At the age of 50, owing
to the distance from his place OF busi-
ness to his residence, he gave up dinner
also. For the lost six years he has,
therefore, confined himself to one meal
day, and that about 6 p. m. From the
time of rising in the morning until this
hour not particle of food or fiuid OF
any kind enters his mouth. Daring the
six years in which he has partaken of
but the one daily meal his health has
been excellent He uses no stimulants,
and for the last two years has drank no
tea or coffee. The evening meal Is
moderate in quantity, embracing the
usual variety of dinner-table. He
rarely, however, eats any other meats
than fresh bork and bacon. Between the
meal and bedtime he drinks large
| quantity of water"

SWINDLING FARMERS.

Lightning Rod and Hay-Fork Operators
in Iowa.
Especial Correspondence of the Chicago Trib-
une.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, July 3.-Much
as has been said, and wide as has been
the warning given, of the swindling
practices of lightning.rod agents and
vendors of patent rights, they still ply
their vocation and rope in victims.
There have been operating for some
time in the northern portion of the State
several gangs of agents of a certain
lightning-rod company, with convenient
ostensible headquarters in the various
localities in which they operate. By
their frauds they have swindled the peo-
pie of Iowa out of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. They have no fixed
residence, nor do they give the names
of any persons, but do all business un-
der cover of corporation. They sweep
over a section of the State in hurry,
and move to another. A few days ago
an advance-agent went to S. s. Crosby,
a wealthy and prominent farmer near
For. Dodge. In consideration of his
prominence in society, which would
help make sales in the neighborhood, he
offered very low prices. Crosby didn't
want the rods, but the fellow finally
offered to put up the rods on his house
| and barn, and throw in a weatl er-vane
consisting of bronze horse, for $24,
with three years. time, at per cent. in
terest. Crosby accepted the offer, when
the fellow produced memorandum
book for Crosby to sign, that it might
be sent to the men who were coming to
put up the rods, that they might know
what to do. Crosby, supposing it to be
all right, signed it. The next day the
gang came, and they covered the house
and barn with rods and points so thick
that lightning could not have reached
the house if poured out of a seive. When
they had finished the job, they figured
it up, 303 feet at So cents per foot, max
ing total of 1916, and presented a note
for Crosby to sign. Mr.. Jones, another
man in the same vicinity consented to
receive rods to the amount of $12, and
his bill was over 800. The result was
they refused to pay, and went to see
their lawyers, while the scamps went
through the process of plastering me-
chanic's lien on the building. War
rants were issued for their arrest, and
they were gobbled up. To give bonds
for their appearance the next day, they
delivered to the Court notes of farmers
in Webster and Hamilton Counties val
ued at over 81, 600. When the examin-
alton came, they backed water, and, to
save themselves from criminal prosecu
ton, accepted from Crosby S24, and
from Jones S12, paid the costs, amount
ing to about 800, and travelled.
They turned up in Black Hawk, Fay
ette Rut1er Hamiltvn and other COun
ties-moving rapidly. Near Waterloo
an Oily Cannon went to Peter Recht
fertig, wealthy German, and made thu
usual offer to put up the rods, as {
starter" for S24. He read his mem
orandum, which, he told the German
was not an order, but simply a memo
randum that he consented to take tn
rods Mr.. r. not being able to rea,

that the votes would be thrown out John De

Experiments in driving by electric
ity have been made in France. An
electromagnetic is placed beneath the
coachman's seat, from which one wire
is carried along the reins to the horses
bit, and another to the crupper, SO thai

of an electric current. A sudden shock,
which the driver can administer at dis.
cretion, will, it is said, arrest the most
furious runaway.

printing and note paper will be com
menced, and it is prophesied that soor
the manufacture of paper from thu

Artificial parchment is made b.
dipping a sheet of strong paper into ,
solution of sulphuric acid, mixed witt
a tenth of its weight of pure water. L
is held in this liquid for about three sec
onds, and then washed thoroughly il
water and dried. Experiments latel,
made in Dresden show that the pape
thus prepared has power of resistance
four times as great as before its INNER
sion. The process is sometimes use'
in Germany for less delicate services, a
envelopes for sausages and dynamit
cartridges.
