zne Changing Geysers.

It Is said that the recent visitors to the Yellowstone Park have discovered that the famous geysers there are gradually subsiding. One newspaper believes that if their force continues to diminish in the degree in which It has diminished in the last four years. the geysers vii probably become ex- tinct within a decade. This Is what these recent visitors claim to have dis covered. That Roaring Mountain, although still circulating steam, no longer roars, and therefore, no longer deserves it's name; that Black Growler. .n Norris Basin, is in feeble state. and that Fou1tain Geyser, in the Low CT Basin, and the Splendid and Bee hive Geyser, in the Upper Basin. are practically dead. We have seen To evi- denee to prove that these reports are not true. Certainly no one could de- rive any benefit from their deceitful manufacture

F. E. cHuRcH,s WORK.
Noted Paintings by Lamented American
 Artist.

Artist
 The death of Frederick Edwin Church, the veteran landscape painter, removed a well-knoTn figure in art life of this country, better remembered perhaps by a past generation than ny the younger set. He was born in Hart ford, Conn, May 4. 1926. His talent for art was prominent and in early life he determined to adopt art as profession and placed himself under the instruction of Thomas Cole, and resided with him in the Catskills. He soon became well known as iand- scape painter, and critics awarded him praise fer his accuracy of drawing and viTid appreciation of nature. He spent a short time in Switzerland. and in 1853 visited South America to study the picturesque scenery. The Heart Of the Andes" which ereate5 a great sensation, was first exhibited in 1858. and was bought by the late William T. Blodgett. Other well-knewn works painted about the same period are The Andes of Ecuador" "Cotapaxi, now at the Leaox library, "Ghinbor- ago. His View of Niagara Falls" how iD the Coreoran art gallery. Washington. D. C., is recognized as the first satisfactory production by art of this wonderful piece of nature. it won prize at the French exhibition in 1S67. Another painting Of 'Magra" was painted for 4. T. Stewart in 1866. the price paid for 1t by Mr. Stewart being s12.000. h 1878 he was again represented at the French capital with two pictures. Morning in the Tropics and The Parthenon." He travelled extensively in this country and abroad, studying nature and giving to the world numerous productions Of high character. A number of his works are owned in England, one of his principal works being .Tcebergs." w5ieh was purchased by Sir Edward Watson, M. P, London. His wifa died about year ago. lYo sens and a daughter survive hin-

BATHING IN ELECTRO LroHT.
rainful Ailments Quickly Banished by
 the Heat Rays.

the Heat Rays.
 1t has been found that there are many painful ailments which, when acted upon by electric heat and light rays, are completely banished from the sufferers body, says Pearson's Maga- zine. Strong electric light is thrown onto the seat of suffering; the patient basks in bath of light and heat, ex- perieneing nothing but pleasant sensa tfons, and, in most cases. an immediate and comforting sense of relief from pain. Men and women who for years have lost control of their limbs and who have unayailingly tried every known cure, have arisen after a course of eleetrfc-heat baths and walked with perfect freedom. The apparatus which enables patients to bathe in electric light is extremely simple. To an ad- unstable stand are fitted two large cop per or nickel-plated reaectors, which can be moved in any direction II 8 patient is lying in bed reaeetors are placed on either side, adjusted to the exact position for locating the rays where desired. On the refeeting sur faces are the electric lamps which ra- diate the luminous heat rays. The hea. may be regulated by varying the dis tanee of the refectors, or the number of lamps, or by means Of special regulator which controls the electric current. Those parts of the body, such as the armpits or shoulders, which it you'd be impossible to treat locally with other arrangements. are easily dealt with by the new system. When the patient is in the right position and is comfortably settled Che may be fully clothed, or covered with blankets. without affecting the power Of ths rays1. the current is turned on and heat and light of considerable intensity are immediately produced. h few moments the thermometer will register 500 degrees Fahrenheit, I have seen patients chatting eheerful1y and ex- periencing no inconvenience, while an affected limb has been exposed to heat rays at a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It might be supposed that such heat as this would roast limb. Undoubtedly there would be evil re- suits were it not for the important fact that dry heat is employed, which evaporates precipitation as soon as 1. appears on the body.

PREACHED IN sHIRTsLEEVEs

henfuckian ThouS Int the Episcopal Pre-
 late Pfain Man.
 Not long ago Bishop Dudley Of Ken. lucky went to preach in } little town in the western part of the state, where there are no Episcopal churches, and only one, in fact, Of any other denomi- nation. Tae people are unfamiliar with any bat the plainest and most simple church service and entirely un- accustomed to the vestments which the Episcopal clergy wear. The pastor Of the only church, "a good. conscientious, narrow minded man. hearing that the bishop was coming on a certain Sum- day to preach at the courthouse, told some Of the pillars, Of his congrega- ton that he hoped they would not de- sert their own church to hear the Episcopal service. On the appointed Sunday what was the pastors surprise to notice half Of his flock absent. and upon inquiry he learned that the court house was thronged with the Yillag- CTS. The next day he met one of his chief supporters, whose accustomed seat had been vacant at the weekly service, and the pastor questioned him as 10 his whereabouts on Sunday. The man replied that he had gone to hear Bishop Dudley. What" replied the clergyman. Desert me to hear tha. pompous prelate!" You're mistaken h the man. answered the culprit Bishop Dudley is no pompous pre- late. He preached in his shirtsIeeves." Louisville Courier-Journal.

4 grateful mendicant has died In tha village of Hinstock, near Newport, England, and his gratitude assumed an exceedingly novel form--for beggar. His name was Meeson, he was aged, and his generally destitute air and wretch- ed surroundings gave his neighbors the impression that he had not penny in the world. Out of pure charity they accordingly for many years provided him with food and clothing. Great srr- prise was caused among the good Sa- maritans when it became known that sy his will he had left a2,o50 and cer- tain real property for division among those who had assisted him.

 To speak Of John Ruskin's art treas ures is to think Of Turner.

The Slaver," given to him by his father about the time Of his majority. is now in America. Even today, however, the thirty or so Tur- her water colors ar Brentwood, be- side many sketches, each one chosen with view to some particular beauty, sr characteristic, constitute one Of the finest collections of the kind owned by an individual.
