THE GEISER.

There was the Medusa, French vessel
wrecked on the way to the Isle of France
with 400 persons on board, who had time to
construct n raft and float at random. But
they were crowded and maddened by heat
30 strife rose among them, and one faction
murdered the rest.
The Grosvenor, a British East Indian, went
to pieces on the west coast Of Africa, and all
her passengers and crew formed the desper-
ate resolution OF marching overland to the
Cape of Good Hope Many died of heat and
thirst; many more were murdered by the
natives, several lived and died in captivity,
and feeble remnant reached the white
settlements
In the last forty years the great danger has
been of collisions, not only with other vsssels
but with icebergs. Every one who could
read in 1854 remembers the awful tale Of the
Artic This fine steamer Of the Collins line,
running at full speed in a fog, at noon OF
Sept. 81, struck the iron propeller Vista, and
sank in four hours, carrying down most Of
her 300 passengers and few Of her crew.
Every circumstances Of horror, heroism and
cowardice was present; Capt. Luce behaved
with rare GOODNESS and courage, but lost con-
troll Of his men, and wild mob Of firemen
and other employees seized, launched and
crowded the boats, in many instances insur-

was ample time to construct a raft, but the

His immense railroad interests often taxed
his memory. On one occasion he was in
Portland, Ore, and was approached by the
general manager Of an Oregonian railroad
who began to talk business. For
some time Mr.. Crocker did not understand

finally brought to his mind by friend that
he was president Of the railroad. He had
forgotten all about it.

In 1866 the ship Gen. Grant, with crew

On Jan. 10, 1888, occurred the most ap-

bria, with 496 persons on board, collided with

board, was similarly destroyed on Nov. -,
1873, and very few escaped. These are but
instances, few out of the many destructive

they receive to the western part Of their own
territory; there they have friendly meetings
with the next tribe, whose caravans in like

products are passed successfully through all

The lieutenant argues that there must he

trusting himself and party to the caravan
for the first stage, he expects to pass with the
goods TO the next and the next, taking inter-
prefers from each tribe and selecting those

quire an immense military display, and the
result would not be worth the cost.
Lieut.. Shufeldt is admirably qualified for
the venture. Thirty-four years Of age, and
possessed of an iron constitution, he has
already had much experience in the Orient.
With his father, Rear Admiral Robert w.
Shufeldt, who made the treaty with the king
Of Corea, he made the cruise around the

The Poppy as u Bank Protector.

The Manufacturers Record, in an article
recommending opium culture in the south,
says that, once sown, the poppy is self per-
petuating, and is, in fact, hard to extermi-
nate, reciting the fact that within the last
two or three years eminent French engineers
have undertaken the sowing of railroad en-
bankments with poppy seeds, as, when once
established, that prolific plant would cover
the soil with network of roots that would
prevent it from washing away during heavy
rains, or from upheaval when frost was COM

One cold night in February, 1910, when the
snow was two feet deep, Charles Crocker was
turned out OF his home in Ohio by his father.
He carried In his hand bundle which con
tanned "A pair Of socks, a handkerchief, linen
collar and n cotton shirt With this sole
stock in trade he started out to seek his for

erty which he has left to his wife and chill

u succeed. He possessed an indomitaole
energy, an unfiaggng perseverance and an
iron constitution, built up by years Of youth
full toll in the open air.
Charles Crocker was born in Troy, N. Y,
on Sept 49, 1922, and was the eldest of six
children His parents were poor, and the
scanty education which he received from the
public school was early broken into by the
stern necessities Of life. In 1896 his father
moved 10 Marshall county, Ind, and settled
on government lands. In 1889 his mother
died, and the next year he left his home for
ever.
He trudged on through the snow to farm
house two miles away and secured work us
farm hand. In September, 1910, he went to
Mshawaka, n settlement on the st. Joseph
river, and got work at the sawmill of John
j. Deming. Here he met his future wife,
Mr., Deming's daughter, Here he resolved
to better his education, and during the win
ter he went TO school, paying his board by
doing chores for the Presbyterian minister
