A WOMAN ASTRONOMERS.
Mrs. Elisabeth Preston Davis Star Gazer
of Distlnrtlon.

A Washington woman has just finished
q notable piece Of work. She has com
pleted the abstruse calculations Of the
ephemeris of the sun for 1901 and half Of
the calculations for 1909. This woman Is
Mrs Elizabeth Preston Davis, who has
been engaged In astronomical work Of this
sort for the past nine years. In addition,
she has computed the orbits Of the new
comets discovered at the Lick observatory
and has calculated for the use of Professor
Simon Newcombe the perturbative funo-
tions of Mars and Jupiter and Of the earth
and oil the planets whose orbits are inside
that Of Jupiter.
Mrs. Davis Is born mathematician
and an ardent astronomer. Her whole
ambition when girl was to learn all there
was to be known Of these sciences, and she
has now arrived at point where the real
ization Of her hopes is in sight, for few
could lead her farther.
Mrs. Davis is q native Of Front Royal,
Va, and is 81 years of age. Her father
was Major Victor NJ. Brown, who fought
all through the war as an officer In the
Confederate army. At the close Of the
war he took charge of flourishing acnd-
envy at Front Royal. Mrs. Davis received
her early education at Front Royal, where
she attended school taught by James
Marshall, u descendant Of the chief justice.
Her mother removed to Washington after
the death Of Major Brown, and Elizabeth
was placed in Park seminary, then fash.

But while the suffering from sunstroke

science and human energy are doing more
and more every year TO mitigate the terrors
of the hot season. Indeed the sunstroke,
at one time considered particularly deadly,

SUCCESSFUL EDUCATOR.
James NJ. Greenwood, President of the
National Educational Association.

James NJ. Greenwood, President of the
National Educational Association.
To be president of the National Educa-
tional association is no small honor, and
the Missouri delegation to the annual ses-
sion held recently in Milwaukee was made
very glad when James marlborough
Greenwood was selected for that position,
for MIR. Greenwood Is Missourian, and
Missourians are very proud of him. This
Is not at all remarkable, for he Is man
of much merit, all the more because the
credit of his success Is his own. He is
what is called self made man, and when
one considers his meager opportunities and
what he has wrested from them, 1t is i'm.
possible to withhold admiration Of his
workmanship.
Mr.. Greenwood was born near Spring
field, Ills, in 1910. In 1859 his father
moved to Adair county, Mo-, where he re-
manned until the war broke out, assisting
his father with his farm work and getting
such schooling as he could, though In all
his attendance was but A weeks. 1t is
true he afterwaTd put in "a year at the
Canton seminary, but here he was mainly
engaged in reviewing what he had studied
before He began the study Of law, but
abandoned the idea and went into tho
army, whore he served = year and half.

ardent. The news of the success Of the
enterprise went all over the land and
excited real enthusiasm. About this
time (it was three years ago. number
Of Catholics of the middle west who
found it inconvenient to attend the
New York school began to discuss the
feasibility Of opening branch of the
school at some point more centrally
situated. After some debate it was de-
cided to hold the sessions at Madison,
Wis. Since that time the Catholics of
several of the adjoining states have an
nually made pilgrimages to Madison
and have remained there during the
full courses of lectures. Daring the past
year, largely though the efforts of the
president, Right Rev. G. S. Messmer,
the Columbian Summer school has been
incorporated and placed under more
effective management
The geographical situation of the
school is all that could be desired for
tho purposes for which it was founded.
From all points the location is delight
full. The climate is cool, and all the
facilities for first class outing are at
hand. The place is easily accessible, and
the various means of recreation found
at most watering places are to be found
here. These summer diversions lend to
those in attendance at the school that
physical and intellectual zest necessary
to the proper assimilation of the mental
pabulum afforded them.
The lectures offered this season are
in most cases short, and but five are de-
livered by each lecturer. Their breyity,
however, is not their only good fea-
ture. They were all carefully prepared
by expert students Of the particular
themes discussed. Among the promi-
nent instructors may be mentioned Judge
NJ, j. Wade Of Iowa. His lectures on
the law explain it Comprehensively in
all its varied aspects from its origin to
its latter day development They also
treat Of the national constitution and
the rights and duties of Americans un-
der it.
Miss Eliza Allen Starr of the famous
Hull House, Chicago, is n prominent
figure in the work of the school. Her
course of lectures on the Masterpieces
of Christian Art" have aroused great
deal of interest. Commencing with
Bruneleschi, Donatollo and Ghiberti,
the three rivals of l4O0, she proceeds to
study the history and artistic qualities
of the baptistry of San Giovanni in
Florence and kindred topics.
Henry Austin Adams Of New York is
delivering series of lectures on the
Oxford movement letting it center
around the life of Cardinal Newman
and making it the forecast of future de-
velopment.
Conde B. Pallen, LII d. of st. Louis
is engaged in disoursive treatment OF
the epochs from Homer to Dante. Rev.
Francis w. Howard of Columbia uni
versity is devoting himself to the gen
eral theory of political economy, Rev.

sions," Rev. DR.. S. O. Chatard on the
"Christian Antiquities of Rome," while
numbers of other great thinkers OF
wide renown deliver lectures on special
topics in literature, science, philosophy
and the live questions of the hour.

The summer school idea was bor-

tauqua, which is indeed the mother Of
all summer schools. The adoption was
made five years ago, when the school
near Plattsburg, N. Y, on the banks
of the beautiful Lake Champlain, was
organized.
The Roman church, ever ready TO
avail itself of opportunities for extend
ing its influence, saw in the Chautau-
qua system an excellent means of in
structing the general public and broad
ening its view as to the place and scope
Of Catholicism in the affairs of. the
world. This was fully set forth at the
first conference on the subject. The fact
was also cited that the world at large

and history Of Romanism. The church,

LOWERING A PATIENT INTO THE ICE BATH.
atus, is lowered into the tub of ice and
water below. The mechanism admits Of
moving the body sidewise as we'll as YER
tically and saves the fatiguing labor Of
lifting and moving by hand. While
swinging thus the patient may be sub
merged to whatever extent required and
lifted about in all directions with the ut
most ease.
This big tub is not always filed with Ice
and water the temperature maintained
depending upon the seriousness of the pa
TENTS stroke and his bodily condition. In
extreme cases, where the temperature Of
the patient is more than l0S degrees, the
colder the application the better the chance
for saving life, but in ordinary instances
water reasonably cold is found to be more
efficaoious. In order to be able to supply
this immediately and in quantity large
tank is usually placed on the roof of the
building and kept full of ice water. A
pipe from this tank leads down into the
basement, where the Ice bath apparatus is
generally situated, the height affording
sufficient force to induce strong flow of
water. With this icy stream will be min
gled water Of higher temperature to suit
the needs of the patient.
The sensations experienced by victim
of sunstroke have been yariously described,
but there are symptoms which are COM
mon to all and by which anybody may be
warned of its approach. In the mildest
form of heat prOstration there Is feeling
Of dizziness and weakness, and the temper
ature goes up erceptibly-perhaps three
or four degrees. When you begin to feel
hot waves go over you, and things begin
to glimmer on your sight, it is time to do
something for yourself, and that promptly.
Perhaps you need nothing more than IA
cold bandage on your forehead, or maybe
a cold bath would set you right. How.
ever, 1t Is we'll to try one or the other at
once. The danger is not great unless the
temperature rises to 106 or l07 degrees,
when the patient usually becomes uncon-
scious.
Before his utter collapse the victim
ceases to perspire, and the hot flashes chase
up and down his limbs and through his
body faster and faster. The things that
merely bobbed before his eyes now swing
round and round, and everything takes the
color Of blood. The head begins to throb
as II struck by many hammers. Finally
there comes a resounding blow that seems
to shatter The skull into fragments. Then
comes merciful oblivion.
In this case the ice bath is resorted to.
The sufferer is hastily thrust into 1t, his
body more than half submerged. His head
and back are literally inoased In pounded
ioe, and the attendants rub him with
chunks of Ice, which melt rapidly against
his fiery flesh. Every few minutes his
temperature is taken. Gradually 1t grows
less and less The man weakly opens his
| eyes. Consciousness has returned, and the
ioe may be dispensed with, though the wa
| ter Is kept cold. Little by little the blood
oools, and, after some hours perhaps, the
patient is declared out of danger.

At the expiration Of two years of this

A PROFITABLE IDEA.

1t Made a Great Fortune For Thomas J.
Upton.
A very remarkable man came across the
water from England recently and went
methodically TO his Office in New York, his
office in Chicago and his Offices in various
other places. This was Thomas J. Lip
ton, the British merchant millionaire, who
makes big business deals with as much
ease and real enjoyment as if they were
mud pies and he were toddling infant.
He is remarkable man because he had
brains enough TO build up tremendous
and lucrative business by the application
of a simple idea. Twelve years ago the
idea came TO him. 1t occurred to him
that business could be formed which
would do away with intermediate profits
and make the percentages Of producer,
middleman and retailer all his own. He
determined to be- both producer and re-
taller himself, and instead of only supply
ing London and such inhabitants of the
shires as chose to go to London for their
goods, to open branch establishments in
every town and village and sell TO the peo-
pie direct. In this way instead of one
profit he would take three.
This was gigantic enterprise, but Mr..
Upton was equal to it. He talked the
