BRAZIL. Ind, Sept. 27.-Several weeks

every one to throw up their hands, at

Cassidy's hat was shot from his head and
he received slight flesh wound. Several
of the spectators received injuries. The
handsome mirror back of the bar was
broken, while the glassware was shat

Suddenly Creighton shrieked and fell
out the back door. 1t was thought that
he was fatally injured. The police

"The Jerks,

The most remarkable manifestation
Of the great religious movement
which swept over this country just
before the war of 1912 was the phys.
ical and nervous disorder known a:
"the jerks" The jerks took theil
name from the fact that the whole
body was affected, aud that in sim
gular fashion. The arms and legs
would be thrown about, apparently
by force beyond control of the in
dividual sometimes the head would
be thrown backward and forward
with great apparent violence, while
occasionally the muscles of. the entire
body would be affected, and the indi-
vidual would fall upon the ground and

quently affecting great plumbers at a
time, and attacked alike. the irreli-
gious and the pious, those who believed
in it aud those who did not. A case
is on record as occurring in Tonnes
see. where a slave owner, man OF
great wealth and prominence, and
irreligious, called his slaves together
one Sunday morning when camp
meeting was in progress near by, ana
announced ibis deliberate intention OF
horse-whipping any one OF their num-
Der who took the jerks.
SIT is all imagination" he SAID,
"and I'll whip any of you that takes
it. within an inch of his life."
He went to the campmeeting, ana
while conversing with friend in the
outskirts of he,ground, was told that
one of his negroes had the jerks.
Selling his horsewhip he fastened
toward the spot, and when half way
was him self seized by the jerks. Is The
only relief obtainabIe from the attack
was to seize sapling tree and hold
on with both hands till the fit had
passed away. The jerks usually lett
their victim much Frustrated, and in
more than one instance death ensued
during an attack, from dislocation
produced by the violence of the con-
vulsions. The jerks lasted from 1910
until about 1917 or 1919, and then
gradually disappeared; though in re-
mote country districts an occasional
instance, though rarely, occurs--St.

Naval Estimates.

New York, Sept. PA special to The
Herald from Washington says the an
nual estimates for the navy for the fiscal
year 1894 have been made up and will be
sent to the secretary for transmission to
congress. 1t is understood that about
$4,000, 900 has been recommended for
payments on account of the new navy
which will come due between July /,
1898, and June 30, 1894. No estimates
are made for new ships. This is a mat
ter to be discussed in the secretary's re-
port. There is considerable speculation
as to what new vessels the secretary will
recommend. 1t is believed he will ask
for another battle ship and renew his
recommendation for small gunboats and
several torpedo cruisers.

Improved Breeds.
OF 1T.

The foundation of all improved
breeds of live stock rests on an abund.
an;e Of palatable, nutritious food, and
without this there is no forward pro.
gress. The old claim, sometimes vet
advanced, that "the breed is in the
swill pail" is like many other old
savings, half true. OF late we have
tied ourselves too much TO that other
saying that like begets like" and
held to pedigrees and the skill of the
breeder, while ignoring the feed bin
and the skill of the feeder.

MOLTEN METAL EXPLOSION.
One Mans Eyes Burned Out and Five
Others Badly burned

HARRISBURG, Sept. 27.-Yesterday q
frightful accident occurred at Steelton,
three miles from this city. A large ladle
in the Pennsylvania steel works filed
with molten metal exploded and the hot
mass was thrown over number of
workmen.
Antonio Kroapis. Of Steelton, had his
eyes burned ont and five other men were
badly burned, several of whom may die.
Buildings were shaken at Oberlin, a
mile distant. and large plate glass win
dows We're shattered in Steelton by the
explosion. The shock resembled an
earthquake disturbance. The names Of
the injured besides Kroapsis are Henry
A. Haas, David Kingston, William
Shadow, Thomas Dyba and Charles
Gaffney.

The summer Of 1892, apparently in
sympathy with the immense and ter.
rifle disturbances observed in the
suns photosphere, will be noted fol-
its grand volcanic eruptions, mag
netic tempests, tornadoec earthquakes
auroras, torrential rainfalls, cloud
bursts, "cold waves" shot waves" the
late epidemic of sunstrokes, and per-
baps other seemin gly extravsgant ex-
hibitions of natural forces.
Up to the 10Th of July cool, uncanny
and rainy weather had prevailed for
tive months over the interior OF Amer
lea, and most of the Old World, this
long spell of abnormal temperature
ending with grand cyclone on the
sun, to which the earth almost imme-
diately responded by powerful mag
netic storms and quite brilliant auro-
ras, casting their weird light over the
northern parts of this continent at
least, and far out to the eastward over
the bosom of the Atlantic. Almost
simultaneously the towering cone of
Mt. Etna began to labor and blaze
forth enormous masses of incandes-
cent rock, hurting them many hun
dreds of feet above its summit. After
these unusual displays in the heavens
above and from the bowels of the
earth, the world might be well pre-
pared to hear of the volcanic eruption
of an island in the Malay Archipelago
as disastrous explosion rivalling that
of 1883 in the Java Sea, not to dwell
upon the vast and voluminous wave
of torrid heat, which for nearly ten
days swept northward and northeast
ward over the whole OF the American
continent below the sixtieth parallelan
the residual SHOWS of winter on the
chilly shores of Hudson Bay itself.
1t is true science has not deter
mined what connection seismic and
meteorological disturbances on the
earth have with the violent eruptive |
action on the sun. But there is much |
reason now to conclude that such
connection really exists. Since Vir-
gil wrote how the seasons change
with solar spots, and low the spot
which sympathetically yelled the sun
when Caesar died made "Etna from
its rent furnaces to boil over with
rage in the land of the Cyclops and
the Alps to tremble with earth
quakes," philosophers have believed
that unusual pulsations of solar en-
ergy are in some form Transmitted to
our globe. If browning proof is
needed that this inference of the ages
is correct it is supplied in the great
storms and aurOras of last
February and the similar phenomena
Of the July just ended.
During the past spring M. Trouve-
Ot, the French astronomer, reported
some extraordinary rrominences on
the sun. One of these was described
as "vast arched-like prominence" on
the SUMS limb, extending through
Twelve degrees, so large that "twenty-
.wo globes the size of our earth
might have simultaneously passed
under it." Indications of an enor-
nous spot on the sun were observed
July Is, and later at the Kenwood
Observatory, Michigan. If such tire.
nendous signs of solar activity mean
anything for us they would seem to
'avor the theory that at periods of
solar energy the earth's
magnetic and weather conditions are
'ensibly aflected.-[N. Y. Herald.
