PoLrALLocH STILL AGROUND.
The Big British Vessel Said to 81
Resting Easily and Hopes Are
Entertained That She Can
BE Floated.

The tug Wallula. which went TO the
relief OF the stranded bark Poitalloch
returned last evening about 10 O'clock.
Captains McVIcar and Randall were on
board and report the stranded vessel as
lying easily with only her stern on the
sand. She has shifted from her origin
al position and lies with her bows TO
the eastward and almost over the sand
spit into the deeper basin behind. The
Wallula could not get nearer than half
mile to her as there was cOnsidera Bile
sea running and even at that distance
the lead showed but eighteen feet. It
is thought that II proper machinery
can be used upon her before a storm
or especially heavy sea comes up that
the Poltalloch can be pulled on over
into the deeper water and safely float
ed. All her crew have been taken of.
Part Of them are at South Bend and the
rest are at the nearby life saving sta
ton.
At the time the vessel stranded a
dense fog prevailed and there was no
wind. she was right in the breakers
when her position was discovered. The
first anchor held. but had TO be slipped.
The chain Of the second parted and
then the bark was helpless.
The Potalloch Is a handsome. four
masted steel bark OF 21Ss tons and was
built in 1898 at Belfast. she is owned
by Potter Bros. Of London. Her mas
ter. A. Young, is well known TO sew
eral OF the older pilots here.

A THINKING MACHINE.

A famous inventor declares that he
has devised a machine that win abol-
lsh warfare. This machine is a boat
that will go without men on board,
and can be controlled for any distance
without wires. II will obey orders from
the land or ii will act on its own judg-
ment. according to the necessities of
the situation. II will carry an unlim-
tied quantity OF explosives, which can
be aimed with unerring accuracy.
Progress has achieved wonders during
this century. The fact that 1t can find
no substitute for Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters. proves the inestimable value
Of the bltters SO long as constipation,
indigestion, dyspepsia. liver and kidney
troubles continue to affect mankind,
so long will the Bitters stand as the
one sure cure for them.

idly round the shaft His screams OF
terror and pain attracted Immediate
attention and the machinery was stop

ever. till he had been threshed agaInst
the nearby tlmbers and braces and
/ the life nearly beaten out OF his terri
bly, bruised body. The left foot was
caught IN some way and with the ankle
was torn clear from the limb. He
was taken tenderiy down and a stretch
er procured upon which he was taken
at once 20 81. Mary's hospital. where

SUNBURN AND FRECKLES.
the Suns Rays ana May lie
Prevented.

Both of these affections arc caused
by the action of the suns rays, but
why one person tnns while another
freckles Is not easy OF explanation
Both affections are said TO be caused
chiefly by the chemical or ultraviolet
rays, but In the ease Of sunburn II Ii
probable that the heat also has some
effect.
The tan may come gradually, with.
out any burn, after succession oil
slight and brief exposures Ia the sun
or TO high winds, for wind will tan as
well as sunshine. Usually, however,
the city dweller gets well burned dur
ing the first few days Of his vacation
In the country or on the water.
In severe eases the skin Is red.
slightly swollen and the seat Of q
sharp, burning sensation: II the ex.
posure has been prolonged, or the
glare OF the sun very intense. IL may
be even blistered. After few days
the soreness and heat subsidies and
the red color gradually turns tc
brown.
II the burn Is pretty severe, cooling
lotions, such as alcohol and water, di.
luted cologne water. solution of al
carbonate of soda or lead water mas
be applied, or the skin may be
smeared with cold cream, camphor
ice, zinc ointment, or n mixture OF
lime water and oil. Some such appli
cation as this. the sufferer being care.
ful to keep out OF the sun for day
or two, will usually suffice, says the
Boston Budget
II blisters form they should bs
pricked with a clean needle at the
most dependent part, and when the
water has drained away they should
be covered with a cloth spread with
one of the greasy applications Just
mentioned.
Freckles occur usually on persons
OF sandy complexion. especially
those with red hair They are not
common in very young children, I'm.
der six or eight years Of age, or in
persons of middle or advanced life.
They usually come for the first time
in summer, and are less marked, OF
even disappear In winter. Persons
who freckle do not tan as a rule.
Freekles, like sunburn, may be pre-.
vented by the wearing Of a veil, pref
erably red or brown. Medical books
sometimes speak Of removing freckles
by electricity or by touching each one
with a drop Of carbolic acid on glass
rod, but such severe remedies are
worse than the disease. The spots
will fade out more or less completely
IN the winter and will..disappear
wholly in time. In any case, they are
not particularly disfguiing.

factory inspectors relates TO the atti.

Some specimens of the blind fish from
the Mammoth cave in Kentucky have
recently been placed in the London
geological gardens. These fish have
never before reached England alive, and
1t is supposed that only on one previous
occasion have living specimens been ex.
hibited in Europe, viz, In 1870. In that
year five fishes were placed in a tank
in the zoo at Dublin, Ireland, but they
did not live very long, succumbing to a
fungoid growth on their bodies.
A Gernan syndicate has just made ar.
rangements whereby IL secures all the
timber on large strip of land in the
mountains in eastern Kentucky. 1t Is
estimated that the strip contains about
100000 of the finest specimens Of oak
trees. Foreign syndicates are investing
heavily in eastern Kentucky, and espe.
cialiy in timber and mining interests.
They own large tracts OF the finest land.
