LIVING IN A suN sox.
New Au.trniinn institution for
the Treatment OF Con-
sumption.

In two Australian towns away up in
The mountains there are now insttu-
tions for the treatment Of consumption
by the "new method" which calls for
little beside fresh air and food. The
"sun box" which the Australian doc
tors consider essential, is described by
the Melbourne Argus as frame struc-
ture, open nt the top, about six by ten
feet in size.
"Why, lived in n sun box for years
when l first came to the country, but
we used TO call it hut in those dnysl'
some readers will be ready to exclaim.
There is this difference, however. be-
tween a hut and a sun box, that the
former is q FIXTURE, unless a bush fire
or q hurricane comes along, whereas a
sun box should be constructed on a
pivot, or, failing that, on wheels, so
that it's front may be readily turned
away from the wind. The reason il
that while fresh, pure air and sunlight
mean renewed health to the consump-
tive patient, the wind is injurious
II you have no sun boxes, the patient
must be taken indoors whenever the
wind blows, but, given your sun box to
present its back to the wind, no matter
what quarter il comes from. and the
patient may remain in it all day.
In each of these boxes two or three
patients are placed on mattresses, and
there they lie all day long and drink II
the pure mountaia air. If they are veal
their food is taken to them, otherwis,
they get it in the home.
Photographs show the treatment be
ing carried out right among the CLEAN

A GREAT MAN.
He was Known only ns "Diooiser'i
When His Identity Was

Talking about bishops, the other
afternoon a distinguished, stately man,
clad in the garb of a minister, was over
at the fish commission spending half
hour in watching the gyrations Of the

The institution, young ichthyologist,
whose papers on the subject of deep
sea investigation are attracting atten-
ton throughout the world, happened,
in passing by the tank, to notice the
minister. He studied the stately visitor
for a minute, and then walked up to
him.
Am 1 right" he inquired, "in sup
posing you to be Right Rev. Lucien
Lee Kinsolving, Episcopal bishop OF
Brazl?"
'You are" replied the stately man
regarding his questioner wonderingly
"Well, then, hello. 'Blookerl' said
the scientist, jovially, holding out his
hand.
"Why, hello, there, Charlie!" warm
ly replied Right Rev. Lucien Lee Kinsolv

It has been discovered that what may
be called the first daily newspaper was
manuscript letter written by salaried
correspondents and forwarded to them
every "a hours from London to the prov
intes. That was in the days of the early
Stuarts.
During the commonwealth these Lon
don letters were printed in type and
circulated in large numbers. Even so
long ago as 1850 the law of libel was
such as to be characterized by Judge
Scroggs as making any newspaper pub

Wetzel and Monongalia counties have
been the most fruitful in new produc-
ton of any part OF the lower south
west during the past two years. Both
Of these. including Flat Run and the
Stringtown developments, can be safely
regarded as defined. and throughout the
region there Is nothing that promises
to equal any one Of them in size or pro-
duction. Any one familiar with Eastern
field developments can see that In the
whole producing area there is nothing
Of a bearish nature In sight.
Producing territory was never in so
great demand nor commanded so good
q price. Very little producing property
10 offered on the market, and II one Is
to Judge from the price paid for block
sold at public sale, located in the Nc
Donald field, during the past week, the
value has almost doubled in the past
two years. 1t must be understood,
however. that the value Of the old ma
terial or Junk is taken into account and
in this instance was rated Of equal
value with production (l26 barrels), for
which S1S6,000 was paid.
