London, March 5.-The British gov
eminent recently approached the
French foreign office unofficially to in
Quire what course France would take
in the event that the United States
undertook to construct fortified
Nicaragua canal. The French reply
was that France had larger interests
in the canal question than England
herself. The French government was.
however indisposed to take the initia-
tive, thinking that under the circum-
stances, it would be better that France
should maintain complete freedom Of
action, and that Great Britain should
also take it's own course without re-

Possibility That We May Have a
Fast Team in This City
Next Year.

The interest which has been mani
tested in the Saturday amateur base
ball games which have been played
here of late, certainly warrant the as
sertion that Scranton Is far from being

national game is dead, and would.
furthermore, tend to give strong
grounds for claim that a fast team
in a fast league would prove a money
maker in Scranton next season.
Now that Athletic park is to he

bility that next season will witness a

A SERIOUS MISTAKE.
Rose Mclaughlin Mistook oxalic
Acid For Salts and Swallowed a
Quantity Last Night.

Rose Mclaughlin, a domestic en-
ployed at the Seneca" or old Faurot
house, at 3l5 North Washington ave-
nue., had a narrow escape from death
last night, by accidentally itaking
some oxalic acid. The girl found a
quantity of this in the kitchen and
about 10 o'clock swallowed a teaspoon
full of it, imagining the deadly poison
to be salt.
The peculiarly bitter and sharp taste
made her come to the conclusion that
she had made a blunder, and she asked
others of the girls working about the
place to taste the supposed salt. This
some of them did. taking, however,
only tiny quantity. They immedi-
ately told the Mclaughlin girl she had
made a mistake, and it was only a few
seconds later when she was seized
with terrible pains. Antidotes were
| administered and a physician sum-
moned.
Dr. w. NJ. Reedy attended the young
woman and after half an hours hard
work pronounced her out of danger.
The acid she drank was used about
the house for bleaching purposes and
was labeled poison"

WIND MILLS AND PROGRESS.
One Can Pump Nearly Seven Million
Gallons of Water a Year.

1t is interesting in this age of new
ideas. when steam and electricity arc
so much in evidence. to notice how
some of the older methods of obtaining
power are still prohtably employed.
Take for example the use Of wind
mill. Nobody knows when this useful
device was invented. 1t is rumored
that the old Romans knew of it's use
and there is another story that the
SaraCens introduced 1t into Europe.
But while the early history of the wind
mill Is shrouded in uncertainty, we do
know that it came to play so impor-
tant part in the little Kingdom of
Holland as to he considered a national
necessity in keeping that courageous
nation out of the hands of the sea
In Holland wind-mills are used to get
rid of water; in America they are
employed to produce it. out on the
great plains in Kansas, Dokota, Iowa
and the adjoining states. an ideal place
for wnd-mills where the country lies
Nat, and the winds sweep uninterrupted
for miles, the landscape is fairly dotted
with them. They are all sizes and
kinds, some tall and graceful, others
placed low and resembling huge paddle
the upper half catching the wind? a
number of the larger ones grind corn
or do other similar work, but the
majority are engaged i'm pumping up
water. for the needs of the stock and
the irrigation of the land, from the ex-
haustless supply below the ground. or
course each pump can bring up but a
small amount of water at stroke, but
il Is astonishing to see how much this
little aggregates in the course of a
year.
An estimate has recently been made
Of the capacity Of a wind mill turning
ten hours a day for six months from an
interesting report on Wind-mills and
their use, isSlod this year by the
United States Geological study, which
is studying the great plans to make
available these rich underground water
resources. 1t was found that an aver
age wheel, twelve feet in diameter,
with the wind blowing sixteen miles an
hour. is capable of pumping 1920 gal
Ions an hour Il, 200 in a day of ten
hours. $4,000 each month, and 1856 600
gallons in six months. This Is the
work of only one Windmill Add 1t
to the work of hundreds and thousands
of others, and realize the vast amount
of water brought into use by this
means.
1t is difficult to appreciate the sCnifi-
canCe Of this work and the value Of
the Windmill as a factor in the de-
velopment Of the country. 1t means
in the first place an abundance of
water for stock and irrigatinG pur-
poses. and water always means a
great increase in the productiveness of
the land. This is followed by an in
crease in values and the possibilities
Of larger population; bigger crops and
better prices. and more business and
Increased earnings for the transporta-
tons lines This is what the wind
mills are helping to do in America.

for q Beginnel

Only one contestant turned in points
yesterday in The Tribune's Educa-
ti1nal Contest. This was Meyer Lewis,
who has so long been in the van OF
all the young men and women who
are cndeayorine to win one of the
eight scholarships by their own efforts.
MIR. Lewis is this morning beyond the
600 mark. and his nearest competitor
Miss Griffin, is 176 points behind.
only nine days more remain for
those who have not already done so
TO enter their names as participants in
the contest, for the entry list will be
closed on August Is, and after that
date no one not then enrolled will be
permitted to come In.
This is a particularly good time for
beginners to come in, for the con-
testants who have already registered
points have relaxed to a considerable
extent the past week or so. This is
especially true of those who are in the
second table. With one exception,
these all seem to have assumed an at
titude of 'dont-careness," a feeling
that will never help them to win a
scholarship or anything else worth
having. To achieve satisfactory re-
suits, it is absolutely necessary that a
contestant should go into the work
with his whole heart ant a strong
determination to accomplish something
definite. Half-hearted efforts can
never win success.
Any one who desires to begin the
work now should send a postal to
Editor Education Contest" Tribune,
Scranton, Pa, when he or she will be
furnished at once with the necessary
outfit.

MAN WITH MUSICAL HEART.
Singular Career and Popularity Of
Joseph Millkoroski.

Rome, y Y. Letter in Utica Press
a Pole. whose name is Joseph Mill
koroski but who is known in this coun
try as Edward Lewis, or the man with
the musical heart" is in this city eX-
hibiting the musical part of his an
atomy to the legal profession. His
heart is certainly a wonder and ii has
puzzled the leading phyhcians of the
country. BY pressing ones ear to his
chest a peculiar sound or action of
the heart is heard in musical strain.
He has placed his heart music before
all the prominent colleges in the United
States and Europe. His heart has
been sold and is to he delivered at his
death to the John Hopkins University
at Philadelphia, from which he now re-
Ceives SO a month as long as he lives,
and at his death his widow is to re-
ccive $1,000 for the heart on the de-
livery of that organ 10 the university.
Those who examined the hearts action
here are Drs. w. j. u. and w. l..
kingsley, DIR. II. J. Teller and DIR. T.
l.. Scully.
MIR. Lewis is 81 years old and was a
student in the Russian university.
Alexander III. was killed by the blow
ing up of bridge and large number
of the students were arrested on the
charge, and Mr.. Lewis was one of
thirty who We're sent to Siberia to
work in the mines for this crime,
which they We're not guilty of, the sem
tenCe being for life. For four years
and two months he did not see the sky
nor the sun. Finally one day an op-
pOrtunity for escape came and the 80
went out, but all but five were captur-
ed or killed. Mr.. Lewis was in a
hand to hand encounter and he re-
ccived the point of a sword in his
heart and was left dead hut he was
found by friends and through careful
nursing in the hospital he recovered.
This musical heart is believed to in
some way have been the result of the
sword piercing that member, as a
certificate from the doctor who made
the examination says the point enter
ed the heart for two and one-half
inches and the miracle is that he is
| alive today.
1t was about five years ago, in the
New York hospital, that the discovery
was made. and now he is reaping a
| fortune. The heart by its peculiar
action does not inconvenience him in
the least, and he enjoys the best of
| health.
