The apparatus looks like the objec-

viscera are to be photographed, and
to heighten the effect a lamp may be

Commodore Winfield Scott Schley, in

describes the finding of the explorer
and the other frozen and starved sur

a little and put on pair of eye glasses.

| Novel Shit of Mem his Woman Against
a street Car Company.

| Novel Suit of Memphis Woman Against
a street Car Company.
Tho Sunreme Court will be called
upon at it's next sitting at Jackson TO
| look into the peculiar case OF Mrs.
| Crutchfield VS.. the Memphis Street
Railway.
| Mrs. Crutchfield sues the street rail
way company for $500 damages and
the complainants maintain that they
have such cause as entitle them to
trial on the merits of the case.
It is related that on the days of trans
action. Mrs. Crutchfeld. who lives In
Fort Pickering, having occasion to
come uptown, found that she had no
other money than $50 bill. She tried
to get this money changed before she
boarded the street car. She went to
the butcher with whom she deals in the
neighborhood and offered to pay bill
there if the butcher could change the
bill, but she could not get it changed.
So she boarded the street car with the
bill. 1t is related on behalf Of the COM
plainant that she explained to the con-
ductor the circumstances accounting
for the necessity for offering him so
large bill and asked him for transit
er at Beal street. They were not able
to settle the trouble about the bill until
they came to Madison street, when the
conductor got off the car to get the bill
changed 1t is asserted that he went to
some trouble to get the bill changed
entirely to nickels He got at the first
bank, so it is asserted by the complain
ant, $40 in nickels and a $40 bill, and
then went to another bank and got the
$40 bill changed to nickels. He carried
these small coins to the passenger and
rendered them to her.
1t is related that Mrs. Crutchfield ask
ed for time in which to count the
money, but the conductor demurred,
and the other passengers protested
against the delay, so that Mrs. Crutch-
field said the car might go to the end Of
the line and she would count the money
en- route. It is related that after she
had counted the money over once she
concluded that she was $1.15 short, and
upon making demand for the balance
the conductor handed it over to her.
She had not yet finished counting the
money when the car reached the end of
the Main street line and turned for the
round trip. Then the conductor de-
manded second fare from her, where
at she protested, and after some argu-
ment, when the conductor declared
that she would have to pay another
nickel or get off, she got off the car.
These being the averments of the law
suit from the compliments standpoint,
it is intended to go to the Supreme
Court to ascertain whether or not such
circumstances do not constitute cause
for action.-Memphis Scimeter.

For more than 5000 years men have
been trying to discover "the elixir Of
life" The earliest searcher, so far as
authoritative history shows, was
Hermes Trismagestrus, born 1890 B. G.
Coming down to the Christian era,
there was Zosemus, who lived 400 A. D.
to $50; Ghebe Rhazes, $50 to $50; Ovic-
emo, $50 to 1887; Artephino, 1875 to
1870; Roger Bacon, 1914 to 1894; Albert
Magnus, 1910 to 1884; Ponce de Leon,
AGO to 1921; Paracelsus, 1743 to 1895;
Cagliostro, 1913 to 1894; Brown-Se-
guard, 1918 to 1894. They and others,
like the rest of their generations, are all
dead 1t is noticeable that most of them
died early, not living three score years
and ten. 1t is needless to say that they
failed to discover ''the elixir" Perhaps
it is we'll that some of them did not,
considering what they were. The latest
candidate for disappointment is Prof.
Metchnikoff, distinguished scientist
in the Pasteur institute, Paris, who
claims to have discovered series of
lymphs that will arrest decay and re-
juvenate the human body. He discards
the. accepted theory Of senile atrophy,
and holds that certain cells which
have been believed to be destroyed by
age are simply dormant. Not only can
they be revived, but multiplied" with
his wonderful lymphs. In a certain
measure confederation of this claim are
the experiments Of physician who an
nounces that he can successfully treat
paralysis and cites cases. But both are
now only experimenting, and the proba
bility is that, like some predecessors,
they will make their discoveries just in
time to die.

The reactions between ferric salts on
one side, sulfocyanide of potassium,
ferrocyanide of potassium, and tannin
on the other side, are among the most
sensitive of analytical tests, owing to
the extraordinary intensity of the red,

in these reactions. Hence the instan-
taneous production of the colored pic

There is a significance in the fact
that the new treaty between Mexico
and China is written in English instead
of, as customary, in French. 1t is in
line with the recent instances in which
English has been substituted for
French as the language of diplomacy in
international conferences, but has still
deeper significance than that. French
was formerly the universal language of
diplomacy, and all conferences between
the powers We're conducted in 1t, as
matter of course, but English has be-
come so more the language of the world
than the French that it is superseding
the latter even in that most conserva-
tive usage. English is also the Ian
guage of commerce to a much greater
extent than French, as English and
American commerce far outrank any
that is carried on under any other form
Of speech Lastly, the most important,
an English speaking nation, the United
States, is not only the nearest neigh
Dor to both Mexico and China, but is
rapidly becoming the most important
one with which they have to deal;
while second to it in some respects,
first in others, is England. Both ma
tons, therefore, having far more occa-
sion to use the English than any other
foreign tongue, they are bound to be-
come more familiar with it than with
any other, and it is so nearly a COM
mon language between them that it is
very wise for the diplomats to use it
for the purpose of a common under
standing. They will avoid complica-
lions better in this way than by adopt
ing French or any other tongue.

Just short while ago we, meaning
the American people, were informed
that the primary cause of our longev-
ity and general good health was the
fact that we ate hearty breakfasts and
prepared ourselves for the days labors
with a good meal. It was shown and
proved beyond dispute that the human
machinery needed goodly supply OIL
fuel to run the engine during the day
and that the best time to lay in this
supply was at breakfast. Thereupon
the American people began to eat
heartily of toast, griddle cakes, cere-
ais, etc. That is, those who read the
article and were struck by its force
did those things they were told were
essential for the preservation of their
health, strength and life. Now comes
another authority" and says that the
American breakfast is too heavy and
that the first hearty meal of the day
should not be eaten until noon. This
later Authority" proves" his case just
as positively as the other, and there
will be men and women who will heed
the advice and starve themselves half
a day under the belief that they are
doing themselves favor. All Of which
recalls to mind that if the American
people did everything that they were
told to do and did not do the things
that they were told not to do, always
by medical authorities every minute
would be used to do something con-
Trajectory to that which had been done
the preceding minute.

A. NJ. Isbell and party Of eastern
friends returned Thursday from a
months hunting trip into the northwest
part Of the state. Mr.. Isbell SAYS no one
knows the resources Of Colorado until he
starts out aimlessly on hunt.
One little incident which amused the
party was the finding OF the boy from
Boyville." He was bareiooted, wore a
straw hat and one suspendcr. When
offered Mr.. Isbell's sl5 rod he turned up
his nose and said that patent pole wont
hold nothing" then he cut willow,
waded into the steam, caught hatful
Of minnows and began to fish. He soon
began to pull out four pound Rainbows
the most difficult trout to catch
much to the astonishment and admira-
tion OF the lookers-on.
This party found new and uncxplored
streams, canons and valleys where the
fish were abundant and the ducks had
never been frightened by the sound OF a
gun. Here flock Of q ducks posed for
the camera within Is feet OF the kodak
and four varieties Of fish were caught
from tho same pool. Just where the
party went they refuse to give out for
