THE BIGGEST HARVESTER.


Stockton, Cal, July ~. Farmers
are coming for miles to see at work
the biggest grain harvester in the
world on Roberts Island in the San
Joaquin river near this city. The
machine turns out three W-pound
sacks of wheat every minute. The
machine has u cutting line of ~
feet. and il also thrcshcs and acks
the grain. In one run around Il
1000 acre field il will turn out hun.
dreds of sacks of wheat ready for
market. The cost of harvesting has
been reduced To n minimum by this
machine and the number of days
consumed in getting n large field
ready for market will be about half
that of the regular harvester. Eight
or ten men handle il easily while I
is turning out from l,500 TO I.SCO
sacks day of ten hours and sweep
ing 100 acres of grain clean.
At present it is working in the
heaviest wheat ever grown in this
country. The grain on the islands
had always been tall and of rank
growth, but this year IL was much
heavier than in past seasons. No
has been experienced in
as the traction engine,
which was built especially for the
pushes il through ;he
thick grain with about the same
ease that an ordinary engine would
draw wagon over country road.

Startling Recovery of a
Man in a Boston
Hospital.
Had Been Pronounced LifeleSs
After the Regular Tests by
Physicians.
Then the Patient Suddenly Revived.
Falling Brick Did Not Break
His Skull.

BOSTON, MASS, May ia dead man
came to life in the city hospital morgue
to-day. Frank McDermott left his home
at 80 Webber street this morning and went
to work on new building on Mount
Pleasant avenue. One of the workmen,
three stories above where McDermott was
working, dropped brick which struck
him on top of the head. His fellow work
men picked him up as dead, called police
mbulance and hurried him off to the
city hospital.
EVERYBODY thought McDermott was dead,
and ne was carried directly to the Morgue.
A half dozen physicians gathered around
the body to make perfunctory examina-
tion OF the corpse. according to the rules
OF the institution. They had just pro-
nounced him dead, after the regular tests,
when they were astounded to see the
corpse move and assume sitting posture.
"What's the trouble?" he asked, getting
up from the table and jumping about the
room. An examination by the physi-
clans showed that McDermott's skull had
not been fractured and, other than a
slight scalp wound, he was all right.
After his head had been dressed he went
back to work. 1t is considered a most re-
markaDle case as the patient had appar-
emily been dead several hours.

GRADUALLY G80WlHG WHITE.
Tho Phenomenal Case of Girl Born
of coo/- Black Mother and
Muiatto Father

WICHITA, KANs, May ia case which
IS attracting widespread attention in
medical and scientific circles Is that OF
Deila Mayfield, sixteen-year- old colored
girl living in Ardmore, Indian Territory,
whose skin is gradually growing white.
Inc glrls mother, who is a coal black
negress, is employed in the family of one
OF the Federal officers and her father is
said to be mulatto.
About i've years ago white spots began
to appear on the girls body. These have
spread until her entire body is nov said
to be white. Her face, neck. arms and
hands are spotted, the dark splotches
being irregular In size and largely pre-
dominating. Della has regular features,
large, dark brown, liquid eyes, straight
dark hair and thin red lips. As the dark
skin disappears from her face it is replaced
by a clear, pinkish complexion that any
society belle might envy. If the change
in the color of her skin continues as in
the past in less than two years time the
girl will be entirely white
She had an offer last fall to travel and
exhibit herself with Ringing Brothers
circus, which she declined. Medical
authorities differ as to the causes that
produce the change in color. but,the con-
sensus of opinion is that disease is de-
stroylng the coloring matter of the skin,
which leaves the cuticle white. II that is
the case the colored people OF her neigh
borhood are praying that the disease may
be CONTAGIOUS.

About Sixty Persons Are Known
to Have Perished on the Isle
Of Guadeloupe.

NEW YORK, N. Y, May 1.-Some
particulars of the earthquakes that stirred
the Leeward Islands almost at hourly in
tervals during the week ending April %
were brought here to-day by the steam
ship Madiana of the Quebec Company's
feet. One of the islands affected was
Montserrat. inhabited chiefly by negroes.
The Madiana dropped anchor off the chief
town of the island, which is made up of
less than 200 houses, on April 25 All
hands went ashore, and were surprised at
the funereal aspect OF the place. Every
body was al church or attending one of
the numerous revivals that had been
going on since the first earthquake split
the walls of all the two-story brick build
lngs on the sugar plantations of the
islands and threw down a dozen or more
himsily constructed dwellings. Nobody
was killed at Montserrat, but about sixty
persons lost their lives at Guadeloupe.
During the two days that the ship was
at Montserrat revival and prayer meetings
were held ev ry hour. The shocks had
ceased then. but the whole population
was tremulous with fear. and priests and
Protestant ministers had more work than
they could attend to. Every body was so
pious that the officers and crew of the
Madiana felt as if they had been visiting
cemetery. ALL the brick houses were
deserted and only substantial frame
structures, built on piles, were used to
sleep in. Many spent day and night in
the open air. st. Kits and Antigua were
also affected, but there was no loss of life
except on Guadeloupe.

LIBERAL Wc70Ry IN QUEBEC.
Oyerwhein,ino Defeat of the Conservative
Candidates Throughout the
Province


OTTAWA, ONT, May 1.-THE Quebec
provincial election. were held to-day and
resulted in the overwhe Inning defeat OF
the Conservative Government. Returns
from ell constituencies tonight give
twenty Conservatives and fty-three Lib
erals. The magnitude of the Liberal VIC
tory is surprise to both political parties.
With the Manitoba school question and
the bait offered in the completion Of the
Bale des Cnaleurs Railroad, including the
expenditure OF several millions of dollars,
working in favor of the Government, it
was thought that the Conservatives would
win.
The pr essence of the Papal Ablegate in
the country In great measure prevented
any active and open interf reno, by the
Catholic hierarchy.
The letter from the Ablegate was pub
lished few days ago, in which he depre-
Gated clerical interference with the right
of the people 10 vote as their consciences
dictated. and this evidently acco unts for
the tremendous Liberal msjorities cast.
Premier Flynn was defeated by mar
row majority in his own county. 1t is
now an accepted fact that the Manitoba
school question has received its quietus,
Marcnand. the Opposition leader, having
been decorated by the French Department
of Public Instruction. The Liberal sue
cess is largely due to the growing desire
to escape priestly domination in Federal
affairs and to marx its sympathy with
Laurier's opposition thereto. and as such
the victory is much less Marchand's than
it is Laurier's.
