From the Gazette. Blandinsviile. Ill.

The wife of the Rev. A. R. Adams, pastor
of the Bedford Christian Church at Blan-
dinsville, ILL.,, was for years compelled to live
a life of torture from disease. Her case baf-
fled the physicians, but to-day she is alive
and well, and tells the story of her recovery
as follows:

health began to fail and l lost flesh. My
food did not agree with me and felt like a
stone in my stomach. l began to bloat all
over until I thought had dropsy.

which extended clear across my back and
also into the region of my heart. During
these spells hard ridge would appear in
the left side of my stomach and around the
left side.
These attacks left me sore and exhausted.
All last summer l was SO nervous that the
children laughing and playing nearly drove
me wild. [ suffered also from female

Bees are geome;ricians. The cells are

The torpedo, the ray and the electric

Whole tribes of birds are musicians.
Caterpillars are silk spinners. The

The beaver is an architect, builder

houses, but constructs aqueducts and
drains to keep them dry.
The white ants maintain q regular

An ex-sea captain now living in sgd
ney, N. S. W., was many years ago in
charge of ship carrying some con-
victs. The convicts mutinied, murdered
the crew and ordered the captain to
navigate them to the islands, and. be-
ing a prudent man, he did so. When
satisfied as to their course the convicts
deliberated, decided that he had be-
haved himself well and put him ashore
on the first large island they came to.
He was n musician and took his violin
with him. A threatening crowd of saw
ages greeted his arrival, but the ma
rooned captain played to them till they
thought him god, brought him unlim-
tied pigs and yams and bowed in adora-
ton. Finally he married the chiefs
daughter, succeeded him and ruled the
island for years, till ship called and
he sailed away.

THE KEARSAGE AND THE ALA
BAAnA.

As famous as the fight of the Moni-
tor and the Merrimac was the battle
between the Alabama and the kear-
sage, which was really an engagement
between an American and a British
ship. The Alabama had been built at
Birkenhead. England, for the Confed-
oracy in violation of the laws of ma
tions. She was commanded by Captain
Semmes, a very gallant Southern Off
Ger, and most of her officers were
Southerners, but the bulk of her crew
were Englishmen and it was proved af-
terward that many of her gunners We're
drawing pay at the same time from
the Confederate navy and the English
navy. The Alabama preyed upon
American commerce throughout the
world. and long evaded the cruisers
sent in search of her. At last she put
into the harbor of CherbOurg, France,
to refit. The American sloop-of-war
Kearsage. commanded by Captain
Winslow, was at the same time in the
harbOr of Flushing, Holland. The
american consul at Cherbourg at once
tolegraphed to Captain Winslow the
arrival of the Alabama. The Kearsage
steamed straight to Cherbourg and
challenged the Alabama to come out
and fight. Semmes sent word that he
would come on the following Sunday
and kept his word Meanwhile it be
came known in London and Paris that
the two ships would fight, and eXcur-
sion trains were run from Paris to
brng the people TO see the duel be
tween the two ships. Many yachts also
came from England. The sympathies
OF the English and French spectators
were unanimously with the Alabama.
The Kearsage fought without a friend,
| but the battle did not last long. Ihe
American gunners showed the same SUI
pcriority over the British gunners oil
The Alabama that they had shown over
| British gunners in 1912. The Alabama

MIRRORS FOR sEARcHLIGHTs.
Important Instruments for the De-
lection OF the Elusive and
Deadly Torpedo Doat.

The strength Of the Spanish navy in
torpedo boats makes it necessary that
all United States vessels and forts shall
be provided with searchlights, and it is
found that it is no easy matter TO pur-
chase u sufficient number of search
lights in an emergency. A large num-
Der OF the finest searchlight mirrors
have been bought, but an adequate sup
ply of them cannot be had Having
mirrors the electric companies could
turn out the lights in a brief time, says
the Chicago Times-Herald.
The mirror is an essential part Of the
light, and its manufacture is a delicate
operation which needs care and time to
finish il successfully. 1t is not an or
dinary reflector, which may be cast and
nodded, but has to be ground accurate
ly and highly polished. 1t is really a
concave lens, backed by silver and
hardened vulcanite. Machines for
grinding the refectors have been made
which facilitate the work, but it re-
quires about week to make salts

The glass is purchased, nodded into
shape and the machines are put to worl,
on this and the surfaces are ground TO
the requisite curve. After grinding and
polishing the mirror Is tested, and
when 1t is satisfactory the silver back
Is put on by electrolysis and this bach

TIN MUSIC ALONG SHORE.
Life-Savers of the Jersey CORst In
troduce GrnDiAOphOnea Just
for Fun.

Many of the life-saving stations along
the New Jersey coast have tin music on
tap TO keep out the roar OF the ocean
and the whistle of the cold winds. The
little graphophones with the tin mega
phones are much in evidence. The sta
tions at Shark river, Spring lake, Squan
beach, Bayhead. Mantoloking, Toms
river and Island beach have all been
enjoying metropolitan amusements at
long range. Every station own cyl
inder that cheerily tells about the high
temperature on one night in an old
town. When the winds sweep up the
beach at 20 and so miles an hour those
who stald indoors kept the 'hot-time"
cylinder doing double duty, until it was
question whether the graphophone or
the stove was the warmest thing
around.
When the crew at Squan station saw
an advertisement of the talking and
singing machines two cents was in
vested at once for a catalogue and
cheap one was bought on speculation.
As soon as II arrived there were contin-
uous entertainments. The telephones
were opened, and some of the good
things were shared with the life-savers
upand down the beach. The idea spread
like contagion, and now there is a
graphophone society along the New
Jersey beach. Zach station buys q cyl
inder every four weeks and exchanges
1t along the line, and in this way there
is change of programme weekly in
| each station.
