A LAKE PILOTS LEG.

How 1t solved the Mystery of the
wreck of q Steam Propeller.
1--WE are never amazed when vessels
20 aground and are wrecked on Lake
Erie during the gales that are common
on that treacherous water, for we ex-
pect such things lhen, said a lake
skipper. 'but when one is grounded on
9 clear day and wrecked on a course as
clear as the day in the hands of pilot
that knows the ground like book we
naturally wonder little and want to
know the why's and wherefores. Such
was the case of the propeller Susan E.
Peck that went aground near Bar point
and was lost with $40, 600 cargo
1.-The captain of the Susan E. had
sailed successfully hundreds of times
between Point Pelee and Bar point and
in all kinds of weather, and this time
he had a wheelmar who was known
from one end of the lake TO the other as
one of the most expert navigators in
the lake business He had been lying
up long time, for the very good reason
that owing to an accident to one of his
legs that leg had to be amputated to
save his life. The lost member was re-
placed by an artificial leg, and then the
pilot was ready to take his post at the
wheel again. His first service after his
misfortune was this trip of the Susan
E. Peck, and he ran her aground.
1.-THE puzzle to everybody was how
it was possible for the propeller, ham
died by a man of such skill and expert
ence, on a straight course only 40 miles
long and with every sailing condition
favorable, to leave her course The pilot
was the most puzzled and astounded
person of ALL He soon got another yes
sci, and this one he ran in such an er
ratio manner, but fortunately with no
disastrous result, that he was compelled
to give her dp, and his usefulness as a
pilot was gone. He and others went to
investigating to see if they could dis
cover what vas wrong with his sea-
manship.
"After awhile they discovered what
they believed was the trouble. In the
pilots artificial leg a great deal of steel
had been used in the joints and other
places. Sitting close to the pinnacle. as
he did while steering, this steel derang-
ed the compass so that it threw the
wheelman way off his reckoning and
led to the wrong plotting that had
wrecked the Susan E. Peck and endan-
gered the other vessel that the wheel
man navigated subsequently. This was
what they argued, and to demonstrate
the correctness of the theory the pilot
took charge of a vessel without wear
ing his false leg. Everything worked to
charm. The mystery of the Susan E
Peck was solved. and the pilot was re,
stored to his old place in the confidence
of Lake Erie shippers and vessel own
ers New York Sun.

south Americas suicide wind.

In Brazil and other parts of South
America the natives know and fear a
certain condition Of the air which they
call 'suicide wind.
1t is not a superstition, but an actual
condition of the atmosphere which
seems to drive the people to madness.
and during its continuance self infict-
ed deaths are numerous
Criminologists and scientists all over
the world are interested in this peculiar
atmospheric influence. which is indi-
Gated by a soft, moist, warm air that
settles heavily on the earth.
The climatic condition known as the
suicide wind" is greatly dreaded in
that part of the country.
Statistics prove that suicides and 9TH
er crimes occur together or in waves as
they are described.

ON THE OPEN TRAIL.

This paltry earth and the low hung sky.
Like little tent around 1t.
TOO cravnped find to feel at home,
Too cramped always found 1t.
Since was ever yagabond.
A vagrant-foot and rover.
OH give me the width of the skies to roam
When my earthly days are over!
Let me out where worlds the rniiestones
are,
Where the unrest:res stars walk my way
Out out where man has elbow room
To travel his old time highway!
And when the journey Is done God grant
That one lone inn l find me
Where 1 may enter and greet but her
And close the door behind me!

merits of your Great Discovery or

The Moral Is Plain.

'Once upon a time, says the Houtz-
dale (Pa.) journal, "a man got mad at
the editor and stopped the paper In a
few weeks he sold his corn at 4 cents
less than the market price. Then his
property was sold for taxes because he
didn't read the sheriff's sale He paid
$40 for lot of forged notes that had
been advertised two weeks and the pub
lie warned against them. He then rush
ed to the printing office and paid several
years subscription in advance and had
the editor sign an agreement that be
was to knock him down if he ordered
his paper to be stopped again.
