SUPERIoR's BLEAK SHORE,
Almost as Many Perils on tho Great
Lake as at Sea.

Almost as Many Perils on tho Great
Lake as at Sea.
The accident to the steamer Missoula
tends to show mere clearly than any
thing that has occurred the vast area
of Lake Superior, and the possibility Of
vessels crew reaching land after
shipwreck, and yet being unheard of
Tor couple of weeks after starting on
voyage, says the Detroit Free Press.
The shores of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota on the big lake are traversed
by railways and telegraph lines, and
the towns and small settlements on the
American side of the lake, even to the
islands, furnish ready means of commu-
. nlcatlon with the larger cities, but not
SO on that part of the Canadian shore
north of the lakes, where a wilderness
inhabited by few fishermen and In
olans exists. This is especially true of
the canadian shore just above Sault Ste.
Marie, and for long stretch of country
10 the north and east of the point where
the Canadian Pacific Railway turns in
TO the shore of the lake and traverses it
On toward Port Arthur and Fort Will
liam
When the Missoula broke her shaft
and was rendered helpless, she was less
than twenty-five miles from Caribou
island, on the course down toward Sault
Ste. Marie. She was somewhat off the
regular course of vessels bound down
from the head of Lake Superior, but if
she mad been able to make any Roadway
toward the Sault, or care for herself at
all on the course she was following,
she would have been picked up very
| soon after the accident by some passing
vessel. But southerly wind drifted her
out of the course Of even the few vessels
trading to Canadian ports at the head
OF the lakes, and she was working over
toward the widest part of the Canadian
north shore territory when her crew
were compelled to abandon her.
A glance at the chart will show that
Brule point, where the crew Of the Mis-
soula first made land, is scarcely more
than seventy-five miles from Sault Ste
Marie, where $4,000, 900 tons of freight
passes through a canal in a single sea-
son, and yet the men in one of the Mis-
soula's yawl boats spent nearly two
days working along the shore of the
lake before they found any more sign
or life than a deserted fisherman's
shanty, in which they built fire and
dried their wet clothing. The fishing
season had closed, but even fishermen
are scarce in this territory during the
most active periods. 1t is not strange,
therefore, that the men from the Mis-;
soula were nearly full week in finding
means OF communicating with the own
ers of the vessel after they had landed
on the dreary north shore of Lake Su-
perior.

Artificial Light in Art galleries

An interesting experiment is now in
progress in South Kensington museum.
1t relates to showing pictures under ar
tificial light without changing the col
or. Captain Abney has so arranged il
that the most important actinic rays of
light are excluded. 1t is on the prin-
ciple that while the rays which cause
painting to fade are excluded the effect
of white light is obtained. The meth
cd adopted is the closing of a skylight
with alternate layers of green, blue and
yellow glass. Visiting artists declare
that the pictures exhibited under this
light are seen in their true colors. The
public has not the least idea that there
is any difference between the lighting
of this and that of any other gallery.
The experiment is being tried in what
is known as the Raphael cartoon gal
lery.

California Oranges.

California orange growers believe
that this coming season is going to be
an unusually prosperous one for them.
The crop is not only in fine condition,
but is very much earlier than usual.
The navel oranges, grown in northern
California, were on the San Francisco
market as early as the second week in
November. and the southern California
crop will be remarkably early. The
growers figure that there will be no
competition with California oranges in
the east this year. The failure of the
Florida crop will give them practically
a clear field, they say The California
crop is from one-third to one-half as
large again as it was last year, AID if
the expectations of high prices are real
lied an orange grove viii be bonanza
this year.

5CIENCE HELPS YOU TO BE
YOUR OWN DOCTOR.
From the Era, Bradford, Pa.

From the Era, Bradford, Pa.
Too few people are acquainted with
the rapid advance of medical science.
and too many doctors are still plod-
ding in the old paths. Once it comes to
pass that people know themselves, that
all physicians are abreast of the
worlds knowledge, much of our suf-
fering will come to an end. Medical
scientists are not delving into the
depths of knowledge for the mere ben
eft of brother physicians, but for the
benefit of the world. They place in
the hands of the we'll man a means of
keeping well, in the hands of the sick
man means of recovery. To the par
ent they give the power of saving the
child. Science is working for you-will
you accept the proffered help?
Mrs. George Rowend, an estima BILE
lady who resides at No. 276 East Main
Street, has cause to feel grateful to-
ward the science of medicine.
She stated to a reporter that she
had been suffering with female
trouble for many years. She had been
doctored for the ailment for a long
time-in fact, nearly all her life-and
had never received anything more than
temporary relief. During the last three
years her condition grew worse and
was aggravated by an affection of the
heart Her health was so poor that she
found it almost impossible to perform
her household duties.
Il never believed in proprietary med
icines," said Mrs. Rowend but one
day last fall I read an article in a
newspaper which told of the cures eff
fected by DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and
I decided to try the medicine. Before
l had taken the contents of one box
began to feel better. The depressing
weakness which had bothered me for
so many years began to disappear, and
the action of the heart at once be-
came stronger and more regular.
Il took nine boxes of the pills and
1 am now feeling better than 1 have
for several years. and l have unbound
ed faith in the medicine
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That

AS mercury will surely destroy the
