Heroic Act of Stokcr I;ritlsh
warshIp.
Towards the end of the year 1897
the British torpedo-boat Thrasher,
with it's mates Lynx and Sunfish, left
St. Ives on passage to Falmouth. On
the way the Thrasher grounded on
point, causing serious injury to the
boilers and the bursting of the main
feed-pipe. The burst pipe instantly
filled the stokehold with scalding
steam. In it were two stokers, Ed
ward Lynch and James Paul. All the
rest of the boats company were land
ed on the rocks. but the doubling up
of the deck had prevented the egress
of the stokers by the starboard hatch
way. There was still port hatch
way. which was partially closed, and
towards this the two men made their
way, Lynch in the lead. Directly un-
der the hatchway and discharging
through it, was the break in the steam
pipe. Lynch rush through it safely,
and turned to help his mate Paul.
But an instant convinced him thas.
Paul was unable to follow. Then
Lynch lay down on the deck with his
head and face in the escaping steam,
seized hold of the sinking Paul, and
by a remarkable exercise of force and
tenacity drew him up on the deck.
Lynch then rose to his feet, but it
was observed that he was badly scald-
ed about the head, arms and upper
Part of the body. The surgeon began
to apply oil and wool to his burns, but
he repelled the attention. I'm all
right" he exclaimed; look after my
chum! He's very bad!" He had said
nothing about the way he had rescued
Paul, but his manly conduct led the
surgeon to investigate, and it was as
certained that, in order to rescue his
comrade, he had plunged the whole
upper part of his body into what was
practically boiling cauldron. More
than this, it appeared that Lynch had
previously sacrificed his own chance
of escaping from the stokehold the
other way in order to stay with Paul.
In recognition of this act of selfsac-
rifice and bravery, Lynch was pre-
sented with the Albert Medal of the
first class, which is given primarily
for gallantry in saving or attempting
to save life at sea, and in some cases,
for similar acts ashore.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-

every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs

HE PHOTOGRAPHS SOUND
AS FOUNDING DISCOVERY OF PROF WOOD,
OF WISCONSIN.
The Sound Wave Appears as Thin Circle of
Shadow With Light Border.
The Echo Wave

Madison, Wis, March 24.-Prof. Il.
w. Wood. of Madison, has succeeded in
making photographs of waves of sound
in air. The sound wave is the crack of
an electric spark, and it is illuminated
and photographed by means of the light
of second spark which flashes between
two magnesium wires at some distance
behind the first, and at an interval of
about one ten thousandth of second
after the first spark. The sound wave
is thus caught before it has gotten out of
the field of the instrument, although
moving with velocity of one thousand
feet a second. The wave appears as Il
thin circle of shadow with light border,
being simply q sectional view of the
rapidly diverging. spherical shell of con-
densed air constituting the sound wave.
BY placing Il glass plate near the point
where the wave starts, the reflected wave
or echo. has been photographed, which
appears as a circle with equal but OPP
posite curvature. These waves were OBJ
served by TOPPER, German physicist, a
number of years ago, but they have
never been photographed before.
