A. A. Kohler, the Health Officer, We'd

of measles in Akron today are quaran-

reported. Even when a quarantine is
established it applies only to the person
who is sick and people go and come
Just about as usual. l have known
some parents who purposely took
their children into homes where meas

the disease anyway and the fathers

SIGNALS TO MARS.
What British Scientist Thinks of
Their Possibilities.

In a London newspaper Sir Robert S.
Ball writes of the futiity of human en-
deavor to attract the attention of posi-
BILE Inhabitants of Mars. He says: IF
the whole extent OF Lake Superior was
covered with petroleum, and if that De-
troleum was set on fire, then l think We
may admit that an inhabitant of Mars
who was furnished with, telescope as
good as that which Percival Lowell uses
at Flagstaff might be able to see that
something has happened. But we mus
not suppose that the mighty conf1agration
would appear to the Marian as q very
conspicuous object.
1T would rather be q very small feat
ure, but still l think it would not be be-
yond the reach Of a practical observer in
that planet. On the other hand, if an
area the size of Lake Superior on Mars
was to be flooded with petroleum and
that petroleum was to be kindled, VIC
should expect to witness the event from
here not as great and striking confla-
grafton. but as tiny little point of JUS,
discernible light: The disc Of Mars is
not a large object. and the conflagration
would not extend over the three-hu
dredth part Of that disc.
Tits sufficient to state these 3fdcfssto
show that the possibility, of signaling to
Mars is entirely, beyond the power of
human resources. RI I zs s.s@ 8. .. 49, s

The Ease with Which Men Die.

l have found that persons Of clean life,
Of honorable, upright, religious character,
not only do not display an indifference
to the approach of death as those OF
grosser life do, but welcome it as relief
from care and toll. There is something
about the approach Of death that recon-
Giles men to it. The senses are dulled.
the perceptive faculties are blunted and
the end comes quietly, painlessly, like q

on the. approach Of death-those who re-.
tain their faculties to any degree become
more or less philosophers. They know
that death is inevitable, that it is only
a question of hours, and they accept the
verdict without any demonstration and in
a philosophical way. In all my expert
ence have never found a case in which
q dying man or woman complained
against the inevitable, attempted to fight
its approach or even feared it: It is only
in good health that we fear death.

WILSON'S DIZZY JOB,

Greases Cables at a Height of Three
Kindred Feet.
A feat Of aerial work that ranks with
the greatest performances of the worlds
athletics is going on just now over Car
rigger, is engaged in greasing the cables
Of the Bay Counties Power company,
which stretch across the straits at an
average of 300 feet from the water.
Mounted on little 3x3 platform, that
sways with every puff of the wind OF
the upper air, and runs along a cable
that seems pathetically small to support
human life, this daring workman has
toiled every day for the past month. On
pure facts it would seem to exceed the
nerviest feats of the worlds tight-rope
walkers and steeplejacks. The men who
cross Niagara Falls on a tight rope have
this in their favor-they are on the rope
for only a few minutes and they are
never at more than short distance from
land and less than fifty feet above the
water. The steeplejacks, whose per-
formances in the great cities never fail
to draw a crowd, work dashed to a sub
stantial structure, which is very little
influenced by the winds. Moreover, it is
tradition of the trade that few men
among them can work when the steeple
is rocking, though ever so little, through
average height at which Wilson works
is about $50 to 300 feet from the surface
of the water below him. In most of his
work be is at least half a, mile from
the tower from which he makes his start
and which represents dry land to him,
and he stays with his work about eight
hours a day without once coming to a
landing. Resides-and this is the most
wonderful part Of the performance-the
cable on which he operates is continu-
ally swaying in the wind, and his mar
row platform is so fastened that it sways
from side to side with the motion in the
fashion of a rocking chair fastened to a
rope by the extreme upper end of it's
back. On these facts it looks as though
Otto Wilson had the records Of the Nj
agara Falls walkers and the steeplejacks
beaten by many notches.

Costa mills, pass more than 100 feet be-
low his aerial perch. From the Port
Costa shore he appears as q little speck
an eagle or hawk.
When he draws in toward one end or
the other of his slack rope, he can be
seen leaning this way or that from his

FOR better hold on tn ecables, throwing
a leg over the edge Of the platform when
that is necessary to his work, or sitting
for rest on the edge Of a low platform
that surrounds his car, with half his
sheer space below. 1t is a sight that
few persons can view without shud-
der, but Wilson seems to mind it no
more than a painter minds an ordinary
scaffold paltry twenty feet from the
surface.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Steel is being introduced in the con-
struction Of the hulls Of Mississippi river
steamers. The steel river steamers are
lighter than wooden craft, and as the
bars Of the rivers are mainly sand, the
metal is polished instead of cut when a
bottom is touched. In the case of a
snag met squarely in the night, the re-
suit would probably be the same in
the cases Of wood and steel hulls.-both

Wyoming's Soap Mine.

heated by petroleum, found near by, and
the soap to keep the place clean is found

else but look out for dirt spots and quick

C. W. Belts, Denver mining engineer,
had occasion last week to visit northeast

More Vacations Wanted.

More time given to innocent pleasure
and healtbful recreation is the very thing
that the average American needs to off

and his heart true. He needs it to pre-

nor ambition above that of moncy-grab-
bling. Rightly considered and properly
spent, the vacation period may claim
place in every well-ordered life as truly

WASP STINGS ARE FATAL.
People Have Beeu known to Die from

notice: A strong, healthy girl of p was
stung on the neck by wasp and faint

complained Of a general feeling of numb

she suffered severe abdominal pain. She

this time on the hand. Her face became
flushed, she again complained Of numb
ness and. blindness, suddenly became very
pale, tainted and died twenty-five min
utes after she was stung.
Another case was that of a girl of %
years who was stung by wasp behind
the angle of the jaw. The sting was at
once extracted and ammonia applied. In
few minutes she complained of faint
ness and would have fallen if she had
not been supported. Her face assumed
an expression Of great anxiety and few
minutes later she was tossing on the
bed, complai lining of horrible feeling of
choking and of agonizing pain in the
chest and abdomen. Brandy gave no re-
lief. There was nausea. but no vomiting
She rapidly became insensible and died
fifteen minutes after receiving the sting.

idiosyncrasy-thati is, abnormal sensitive
