ton OF the widow James, five miles
from Waycross, Ga. that is peculiar

thriving. The last time the tree was
struck a bolt of lightning ran down
the corner OF smokehouse near by and
smashed up various things inside of the
building, leaving an old sitting hen un.

Gould's Old wheelbarrow.

Lawyer Everett Fowler of New York
has. presented to Miss Helen Gould,
daughter of the late Jay Gould, the
wheelbarrow with odometer attachment
used by her. father during the fifties in
taking measurements of roads in Ulster,
Delaware and other counties in that
state when he was making maps. Mr.
Fowler came across this machine i'm the
garnet of farmers house He added it
to his collection but. learning that Miss
Gould had fondness for articles owned
by her father when youth. gave it to
her.
Jay Gould, Judging by what old
timers say, was great pedestrian A
former resident of Roxbury. Delaware

STATUES OF SNOW.
Novel Decorations For Wealthy Partisan
Houses and Gardens.

StatuesNin artificial snow are the
latest luxury of the very rich.
The inventor of these novel decora-
tions is Pierre Roche, French sculptor
| OF reputation, who is also interested in
science. The process is very costly
one, especially when an artist of emf.
nence is employed.
1t is easy to understand that these
figures would be very attractive addi-
ton to social affairs of the first magni.
tude
1t is certain that NJ Roche's inven-
ton will some day be widely adopted
by the wealthy leaders of Partisan So
ciety, and it is not likely that those of
New York, who are even Weather.
will long delay following their example.
The sculptor had noted that in ice
making machines the pipes containing
Ilquefied gases become covered with q
coating of snow. This is the result of
the freezing of the water vapor in the
atmosphere.
Nj. Roche perceived that a similar
process would take place on tie surface
OF hollow metal statue filled with
freezing fluids. In this way some very
beautiful effects might be obtained.
He went TO work, and the first l..
portant piece which he executed wa
large figure of bear upholding til
Russian arms. He devised chemical
process which worked to perfection.
The statue went on accommodating snow
as long as the internal freezing was
kept up 1t seemed to have an unlimit
ed power of gathering humidity from
the atmosphere and turning it into
snow.
The statue is of copper, which is
good conductor of temperature and does
not become greatly misshapen when
subjected to cold. In the base is a res.
ervoir of liquefed carbonic acid. 1t has
faucet so arranged that when it is
opened stream Of liquid is thrown in.
to the interior of the statue, producing
high degree Of cold The snow begins
to form in the course Of few minutes.
1t is preserved by maintaining "a slight
stream OF the liquid in the statue -

How proud the general of the American
army must have been to see himself put
In the "also ran" column.
General Miles has talked a good deal
about the armies and maneuvers he saw
abroad. He expresses himself as being
especially well pleased with the French
troops. General Miles is authority on
such matters, and no ordinary observer
will dare say him nay. But the average
American traveller comes home with two
pictures in his mind. Standing before q
royal palace in Berlin is sentry. He
is soldier. You can tell that without
asking questions. He is erect His mus
tache stands up like the kaiser's. His
gun is presented at perfect perpendic-

der You know him to be a soldier by
his uniform, though he doesn't look
like one. His gun is resting with its
butt upon the sidewalk, leaning against
the wall. The soldier himself is smoking

ty nursemaid near by. He is half a head
shorter than the German sentry and
weighs 20 pounds less. Walter Well

party Nineteen other members of the
crew had been shipped TO their homes

the captain, during fog on the night
of Sept. II. tearing big hole In our
port bow. We were just off Great island
and quite close 10 the shore. Our vessel
began 10 fill quickly In half an hour
the water was washing over the taffrail.
A tremendous sea was running We
launched lifeboats, but they were smash
ed against the ships side one by one.
There was little ledge on the
island, about 40 feet away We dashed
ladders together until they reached the
spot. Then, on our hands and knees
with the sea washing over us, we crawl.
ed over TO the shore Towering above
us was rocky cliff 200 feet high. Our
position was not safe, and our only
hope was TO reach the top of the cliff.
We placed the ladder against the rocks,
but it fell far short. One of my men,
at the risk of his life, finally succeeded
IN dragging himself to the summit:
There he tore some of his clothing
into pieces, knotted them together, and |
by this means we got rope to him. |
One by one we climbed to the top rung |
of the ladder, from which point we !
were hoisted, with the rope around our
wrists, to the surface of the cliff.
There was not human being on
the island, which was overrun with rab-
bits and birds. Some of my men had es.
capped with hardly any clothing They
were drenched TO the skin and suffered
greatly during the night from the cold.

Grated, fishermen came to our assistance.
They took all but four of us away. The
mate and three seamen remained on the
barren island TO watch the vessel in the
hopes that she might be saved, but in
TWO days she was pounded to pieces.
The four men made tent of tarpaulins,
md we got enough provisions to last

1t is questionable whether the excur-

he was laid up for several days. Finally
however, he concluded that he would
try to go to work again.
One morning as he was walking to
his work he stepped on a sharp stick
which was projecting out of the ground
in the path that he had taken. His shoe
was split aud the blister opened. James
gave yell and jumped to one side. He
landed on bunch of smartweeds that
were covered with the morning dew.
In Jew days dew poisoning set in. and
he was compelled to come to his home.
His foot recently began to swell in a
rapid manner, and it was with extreme
