Private Ferry, of Troop l.. United
States Cavalry, was struck by a sling
of boxes on board the Peru yesterday
morning and hurled down the hatch
way to the third deck, a distance of
about twenty-five feet. He landed on
his side. A sergeant and 4everal men
working in the hold were soon by his
side. Their first conclusion was that
the man was dead. He was carefully
removed to the ships hospital aft and
given medical assistance promptly. DR..
Cooper responded at once TO a teIe-
phone call, and, upon his recommenda-
ton. the sufferer was removed to the
Queens hospital. 1t was then thought
that the spine was injured and that
there were perhaps internal ruptures
Last night the hospital surgeons
made announcement that Ferry would
survive. 1t was found that there was
confusion of the spine, but the chord
was not injured. There was no sign
Of paralysis. After most careful ex-
animation the surgeons state that there
are no serious internal injuries. The
man is suffering greatly from the ter
rible shock and from q number of se-
we're bruises. He may be out before

Physiological Rules.

frank G. Gandali has lived in Mime
apolis some time, but not until about two
months ago did he discover his ability to
perform unusual things.
It is a we'll known principle of physiol-
ogy that in the light the pupils of the eyes
contract and in the dark they dilate. Gan
dali can oppose nature by dilating his pU-
pills in the light and by contracting them
in the dark or he can perform this phe-
ncmcnon with one eye and leave the other
in natural state.
Another pastime of this painless man is
to put needles through any part of his
body. 1t matters not if it be an artery or
vein. The hole caused Immediately closes
up, and no5 a drop of blood issues. This
is called II state of anUsthesia by tho med

Another feature of which this phonom-
email man speaks proudly is his ability to
put any part Of his body into the Catalep-
tic state. For instance. lie can cause his
arm to Eccome 50 rigid that two men can
not bend it. During his state of complete

While sitting in a chair he can cause his
heart to beat alternately slow and fast.
Then with mighty effort he makes the

While out on my fathers farm in the
summer OF 1897 l was overcome with dir
illness. 1 fell in a faint TO the ground and
was unconscious for several hours. l was
convGlescent in q day or two and thought
lessly I went out in the heat again. The

nearly two hours before being discovered.
For "a week lowered between life and
death. Then 1 got better, but relapse

In two months my right side was en-
tirely paralyzcd, and it was believed L
would surely die. The paralysis extended
10 both feet, and 1 reckonCd il was my
prayers and those of my dear mother that
saved me from death. The doctors ordered
that / discontinue eating meat and vcge-
tables. Gradually / became utterly with
out an appt tite and would shun food fer
days.
My weight was decreasing at an alarm
ing rate, and the physicians seemed power
less to help me. We had fire watermelon

by the doctor that 1 try melons rs a last
resort. i did, and 1 began 10 get flesh
again. Then L was permitted - suck the
juices from tend = meats and was also
treated with EMU q rs. But these three
ingredients, in addition to little milk
constitute my meals and my remedies.
The doctors say the sunstroke had
gene TO my brain and had extended
through my nerves, threatening absolute
paralysis. II 1 We're TO swallow the tiniest
piece OF meat, it would cut my stomach.
I am told it is the most peculiar case Of

solely 20 the sunstrOke.

months and stopped only when the season
ended. Then 1 dropped weight and was
fast turning to u skeleton, when it was
decided to send me down TO my uncle's

BURNING THE DEVIL.

spSNtncpIar Ceremonies of the San
Francisco SaIVntiOnists-
1.-THE way TO reach the heart is through
the eyes and mind
So SAYS Major Winchen of the Salvation
Army in San Francisco in explanation of
his recent spectacular ceremonies OF burn
ing and dfssacting satan. One of the eff
gies OF the devil that were burned was
eight feet high, carried three pitchfOrks
and displayed a red tongue with barbs on
it. Several little children shrieked while
the flaming body writhed on high. and the
audience felt much better when the last
piece of the devil dropped into the pan.
A street parade took place ahead of the
burning ceremony. Close behind the band
walked four crusaders bearing the dew
lis material body ~ a coffin labeled
''Hades." Life sized pictures CT his mai
esty were shown or the sides of trans
parency wagon in which n soldier burned
red lights to render the effect more realis-
tic.
At the hall, which was well filed with
an expeCtRnt crowd, the band played a
funeral dirge while the coffin was borne
TO the platform. The pallbearers placed it
behind a screen on which was inscribed,
And the devil which deceived them WAS

Behind the same screen Iurkcd the devil

CLOCKS TFGT TALK.
a New scheme to Get People I'd In
the Morning.

A Swiss matchmaker has invented a
clock with n photographic attachment,
designed especially for the man who has to
be called and called in the morning. The
calls are spelled out phonographically on
pieces Of galvanized rubber, which are in
troduced into the timepiece. When the
hour at which the alarm is set arrives, the
clock Immediately begins TO talk TO the
sleeper. The form of warming that it is
past time TO get up may be changed to
suit the habits of the owner, and this sug-
Cests almost limitiess combinations
"Get up! Get up It's 6 O'Clock; get
up" roars the Geneva clock, and then a
few minutes later on it says in a solemn
tone: Now, don't turn over and go to
sleep again. Get up! You kno~syou've
got work 10 do; get up
The inventor says that the possibilities
of the new clock are as wide "a the phono-
graph. The purchaser can even talk into
an adjustable cylinder and scold himself
in any language he pleases.
