Getting Away From Land.

The question has been asked, is it
possible to sail 1000 miles from land
This can be done at several points
By leaving San Francisco and sailing
northward into the north Pacific a spot
is reached where there is no land, not
even an islet for 1, 900 miles in any d.
rection. So, too, sailing from the
southern point of Kamchatka south
eastward ships reach a point equally
distant from land of any kind, the
nearest to the north being the Aleutain
islands and to the south the outlaying
members of the Sandwich group. In
the southern Indian ocean it is posi-
BILE to sail 1000 miles out from the
southern points of Australia and New
Zealand and still be as far from any
other land. .and the same may be done
in a westerly direction from Cape
Horn. Indeed, from this point much
longer distance might be reached, for
the southern Pacific between the Horn
and New Zealand covers a space of 80
degrees of longitude and 40 of latitude
of absolutels unbroken sea, making it's
central point over 1000 miles from
anywhere.

GRAVE DANGER.
DR.. Bracken Pears Diphtheria May Be.
Epidemic Next Winter.
st. Paul Pioneer Press:

st. Paul Pioneer Press:
''Diphtheria is unusually wide
spread for this season of the year, and
unless stringent methods of quaran-
tine are adopted over the entire state,
there will be, in all probability, a
general epidemic as winter approaches
an epidemic which will be far more
demoralizing and fatal than has been
that of small pox during the past two
and half years.
This was the statement DR.. Bracken,
secretary of the state board of health
made last night upon his return, with
DR.. Westbrook of the state bacteria
logical laboratory, from an investiga-
tion of diphtheria cases at Park
Rapids.
"There seems to be growing and
exceedingly dangerous carelessness in
the quarantining of diphtherial cases, -
DR.. Bracken continued. "This is ut
terly inexcusable. With the laboratory
methods now in vogue it is posi- BILE to
state absolutely the time when quar-
antine can be safely removed. The
state labratory is second to none and
is always open to aid in diagnosing
diseases and the regulation of quaran-
tine.
81 have found that common idea
prevails that anti-toxin removes all
danger of infection through exposure.
This is great mistake. After it's
application symptoms should readily
subside, but the germs remain long
afterwards, and nothing but an analy-
sis of discharges from the nose and
throat will tell absolutely when a pa
tient is free from the disease.
"Diphtheria spreads very rapidly
when it becomes EPIDEMIC. About one
tenth of all cases are fatal. Before
anti-toxin treatment was discovered
nearly half the cases terminated in
death. 1t comes on insidiously and
acts very rapidly. Patients are often
almost beyond help before they con-
slider themselves sufficiently sick to call
a doctor.
'The disease has appeared in almost
every section of the state, but more
particularly in the northern district,
where lumbermen last winter spread it
far and wide. There is occasion for
alarm at the present large number of
cases, since this is the season of the
year when there should be minimum
of sickness from this cause From Oc-
tober to February the disease is gen.
orally most prevalent. Unless proper
measures are taken at once and the
disease stamped out wherever it ap-
pears there is very great danger that
the winter will bring an epidemic at
tended with great mortality.
Village health authorities, as well
as those of the larger towns and cities,
should make the greatest effort to
check the disease before school opens.
Both st. Paul and Minneapolis have
an unually large number of cases.

HAS NO EFFECT.
Steel Strike Will Not Interfere With Out
put of Iron Ore in Northwest.
Minneapolis Journal:

Minneapolis Journal:
Dwight E. Woodbridge of Duluth,
who is in the city today says the steel
makers strike will not extend to the
ore mining regions of the northwest,
and that the strike, however general it
may be, unless it happens to be far
more lengthy than has been expected,
will not be greatly felt in the Mime
sofa ore fields. There are no unions
among the ore miners, they are we'll
taken care of, have far better pay than
they have ever heard of before, with
safe, comfortable and agreeable work
and they will not strike out of sym
pathy or for anything else.
"There is some complaint" says
he, "that ore is not moving as freely
from the Menominee and Marquette
ranges, in Michigan, as had been hoped
and by the public this is laid to the
strike. But in fact the strike has
nothing to do with it. Indeed there
has never been such a movement of
ore toward furnaces of the east as now
and the past two months have broken
all records. If the Michigan ranges
are tagging behind. it is because their
ores are not wanted at the cost or can
uOG Uc hoO 90 WohOCO just AON'
Minnesota this year, for the first
time, will ship more iron ore than the
states of Michigan and Wisconsin COM
bined. and is already considerably
ahead of them in the seasons total.
1t is not probable that this state will
ever be behind them again, and the
lead may be expected to increase as
time passes.
SIN Duluth the closing of deal by
which the United States Steel Corpor
alton gets 15-year lease on $500, 900
building to be erected by some of its
officials is matter of congratulation,
though there isn't any great lack of
office room in the city. 1t will cen
tralize the great company's lake and
rail transportation interests, and all
it's mining connections, in Minnesota,
Michigan, Wisconsin or elsewhere in
the northwest under one roof. The
company is not only the biggest liner
of the world but the biggest steamship
operator.

GOOD THUNDER.

From the Herald:
John Mooney, one of the brakemen
on the branch, was agreeablv sur
prised one day last week by the pre-
sentation of handsome gold watch
from his parents, it being in remem-
brance of his birthday.
Through the untiring and persistent
efforts OF insurance agents F. 81.
Morlock and f. 81. Griffin, re-rating
of the town has been made and the
business portion gets an average re-
duction of 20 per cent and the resi-
dence portion is also granted some
favors Business rates are stil II high
but are as low as can be expected when
we consider the number of old frame
exposures. For the safety of the town
and for economic sake we believe it
would be advisable for the village
council to prohibit the building of
any frame or brick veneered buildings
in blocks 3 and 4.
On Tuesday evening the railway sta
tion was broken into by couple of
tramps, entrance being gained by break
ing in three windows. Nothing was
found to be missing but telescope
belonging to machine agent for the
Mccormick people and containing
clothing of such large proportion they
would not fit one in thousand. The
grip was carried about 80 rods north
of town, where it was found the next
day, rified of its contents, but nothing
missing but memorandum book, a
pair of socks and new number IL shoes.
A big roll of fish lines were discovered
in the strewn collection which were
identified as the property of G. G.
Bruscke and had been stolen during
the day time Tuesday. The suspected
thieves were in town for some time
and were trying to dispose of gold
rings, undoubtedly stolen at some
other town. 49,.

THE SAME OLD GRANT.
Ancedote Showing That He Never Forgot
His Former Friends.

When Gen. Grant made his swing
around the world, among the places
he visited was Egypt, and the khedive
was anxious to make every effort to
receive so distinguished a visitor, as
one who had been commander-in chief
of the American army and twice pre-
sident of the United States.
1t was at time when a large num-
Der of Americans were officers of high
rank in the khedive's service. among
them Generals Stone, Loring, Sibley,
and Colonies Long, Beverly, Kennon,
Mason, and others
The khedive sent for Gen. Stone
and told him that he wished to re-
ceive the distinguished visitor upon
his arrival and be his special escort,
but the general informed his ruler that
there was certain GOODNESS existing
between ex-President Grant and him
self, which would make it most en-
barrassing, and, appreciating the stu
alton, he was excused.
Then Gen. Loring was sent for. He
had known Gen. Grant intimately in
the old army, and they had brought
together in Mexico, but in the Civil
war Loring had gone with the South,
and since that time the two had never
met.
Then, too, Gen. Grant had won the
greatest distinction as a general, and
had twice been president, and Loring
intimated that he might have forgot
ten him, or, if not, his greatness had
increased the size of his hat, so that it
would be very embarrassing for him
to have to be the one to be his escort.
The khedive, however, was firm,
and Loring, in no pleasant humor, &C
cepted the duty.
When the time of welcome came
Gen. Loring, his staff and his sol
diers were there, the former grim and
silent, expecting rebuff.
Soon the boat approached and Gen.
Grant was recognized, and he was
eagerly scanning the faces of the
American officers. Suddenly his face
frightened. and he called out:
Hello, old Loring How glad am
to see you 20
And Gen. Loring. who had feared a
rebuff, put out his one hand, and
while his voice quivered, said:
"The same old Grant God bless
you. Detroit Free Press.

An Anecd0te of Greeley.

A call was once made by dozen
noted artists of the Academy of Design,
in 1870. on Horace Greeley. MIR. Clark
Cook, then the art critic of The
Tribune, had been saying things about
the academy exhibition which caused
the venerable chiefs of that establish
ment to boil with Indignation. One
day committee went down to the
Tribune to complain. Mr.. Greeley,
having listened in silence to what
these gentlemen had to say, looked up
from his desk, twinkle in his eye,
and said, with his peculiar falsetto ::
Gentlemen, judge from your re-
marks that Mr.. Cooks articles are
widely read. They will therefore con-
tinue to be printed in The Tribune.
Good morning"
