For three years he fingered In this CON-

yissd to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He took them and there was
. slight change. The first thing noted was
. tendency to sweat freely. This showed
there was some life left in his helpless body.
Next came . little feeling in his limbs.
This extended, followed by pricking sensa-
freely, naturally and vigorously through

to returning strength, the ability to walk
returned, and he Wds restored to his old time

low some clippings, taken from the same
paper two years afterwnrd, and there is not
the slightest shadow of doubt, in view OF
this testimony, that Mr., Petch's cure is
permanent Here follows the account:
On being again questioned, Mr.. Petch
said: you see those ehands-the skin is now
natural and elastic Once they were hard
and without sensation. You could pierce
them with pin and would not feeli It. and
what Is true OF my hands is true OF the rest

that this life insurance association did not

length, which now seems, owing to the
cure Of 1t, to be . miracle. The facts were
90 remarkable that many people doubted
the truth Of them. They said: "It 10 too re-
markable; It cannot possibly be true; the
paper 10 mistaken, and the man, although
he may think himself cured, will soon re-
lapse into his former condition." etc., etc.
The accuracy of its report called in ques-
ton, the Monitor determined to ind out
definitely whother the facts were a. stated
and whether the man would really stay
cured. They accordingly kept a close
watch on the case for too years after the

Ths science Of navigation has failed
to develop any contrivance to over
come the perils Of . fog at go. Steam
err blow their whistles at intervals %
. warning to each other. On the coasts
thav have fog horns planted at high
places and whistling buoys and tolling
bells floating On the surface Of the
water. Sailing ships use heavy bells
that can be heard afar OF. and advise
the masters OF other ships Of the neces-
sity Of caution, but the great dihicul-
U that always has been found and
still exists is to locate the source Of a
fog signal. There Is something decep-
tive In sound that has passed through
may be carried long distance, but the
ear il apt to be deceived. They seem
to come from different directions. The
captain Of a ship in a fog will stand
with his mate upon the bridge with his
hand to his ear trying to locate . sig
nal from another vessel. and nine
times out Of ten the two will disagree
az to the direction from which It came.
The mate will insist that It 10 OF the
port quarter and the captain will be
sure that 1t comes from straight ahead,
while the quarter1naster down In the
wheel house. when his opinion is ask
ed, will point another way.
I lay for twenty four hours once In
Tampa bay within plain hearing Of a
whistling buoy which marked the
channel and groaned like the cry Of q
lost soul. but the captain dared not
turn his wheel all that time and lay at
anchor for night and q day until the
fog lifted. because he could not locate
the source Of the sound. Sometimes It
was straight ahead, sometimes 1t was
behind him, and then again 1t would
be on either side. He even sent out
boats to scout the waters and locate II,
but they were unsuccessful In their
search and found great difficulty in
getting back to the vessel.
For two or three years microphones
were used on some OF the ocean steam
ers, and believe they still have them
on several men-of war. but the shippers
say that they are useless and confus-
Ing. At the last international marine
conference the testimony of the most
experienced naviGntors of the world
was against them. Old sea captains as
sert that the human ear IL more accu-
rate In detecting sounds and determin-
Ing their direction without the assist
ance Of any new-fangled Invention. and
when sailor cannot hear distinctly he
would better go ashore and star there.
