Crushed bv Mheels.

Charles, 16-year-old son of Andrew Lorah
of Brandonville yesterday met with an acci-
dent which will probably cause the amputa-
tion of the left leg at the knee, while the
toes of his right foot are severely mangled.
The boy, with several others, was standing
on the railway platform at Brandonville
when a freight train came along and the boys
decided to take a ride. Lorah got hold a
ladder ON one Of the passing cars, but his foot
got caught in a sill and as the train moved
on both his feet slipped beneath the wheels.
Lorah held on to the ladder until released by
one of his companions, John Diefenderfer.
Had the boy released his hold before assis-
tance came he would undoubtedly have been
killed The victim was removed to his home
and attended by Dr. Rentschler.

NEW sUNsTRokE THEORY.

II Is the Result OF Years of study and
Experiment.
A new theory has been advanced by
DR.. Ira Van Gieson, director of the New
York Pathological institute, in ex-
PLANTATION of sunstroke. The discovery
is the result of years of investigation
and experiment. The doctor believes
that death in cases of sunstroke does
not result from overheating of the
blood, but that the suns rays destroy
certain nerve cells and generate an
"auto-toxic' poison, which resembles
the venom of rattlesnake in its eff
.fects. The purple, swollen face of a
victim of sunstroke, the enfeebled heart
action, an occurrence of death within
AN hour or two, convince him that sit
is beyond question the most brilliant.
straightforward example of an acute,
virulent poison, originating within the
body, which acts most rapidly and vio-
lently upon the nervous system" 1t
first strikes the ganglion cells which
operate the heart. Degeneration then
progresses with lightning speed. When
the poison attacks the brain the cortical
cells are destroyed. If the sufferer in
such an instance should not die his mind
is generally more or less affected. 1t is
said that only a slight change is nee
!essary to transform the fluids and It's
sues of the body from the useful to the
injurious, and a slight failure of the
liver or kidneys to act properly pro-
,duces conditions favorable to forma-
ton of poison. Sometimes the nerve
cells are only partially destroyed and
nature rebuilds them, but they are
never in quite the same condition as at
first, and if the processes necessary
to eliminate the poison from the sys-
TEN are checked, death or insanity is
apt to result.

BOAT PROPELLED BY WAVE ACTION

either end of the boat q steel rod ex-
tends down into the water. At their
lower ends are attached horizontal fins
of flexible steel plate.
Every movement of the waves causes
these plates to yibrate up and down in
the water and so to force the boat along.
The shape most effective he finds to be
of the dolphin's tail fin. For boat
10 feet long the two fins have ten square
feet of surface area. Experiments show
that the best size is one-third the sur

like any other boat and will draw an
other heavier than itself.
A particular advantage of the system
is that it can be applied with other
forms of propulsion. In connection
with life-saving apparatus its value will
be inestimable. However rough the
water the boat will be forced along
without effort from the crew. And the
higher the waves the more rapid viii
be it's progress. What value the Linden
system may possess in the propulsion
of larger vessels remains to be de-
termined. But for small craft its use
fulness is already assured.-Illustrated
