New Location Of Eden.

Dean Hall, geologist in the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, calls attention to the
fact that the report of DR.. d. F. Becker,
one of the United States biologists,
who went with the army to the Phil
ippine islands, contains the geological
history of the archipelago, which leads
scientists to believe that the islands
comprise the Garden of Eden, the orig
inal home of man.

Was a War Volunteer.

At the death of his grandparents
William went home, worked on the
farm In summer time and went to
school in winter, until the war broke
out, when he enlisted as volunteer.
He was mustered out of service in
1865 and went to Minersville, where
he worked at the carpenter trade. From
there he gravitated to Shamokin, and
finally landed in Williamsport. In
the latter place he worked part of the
time and attended Dickinson seminary.
He took up the study of music as a
specially, becoming a close student OF
Beethoven and Mozart. But the old
penchant for making violins ever re-
manned, and Rhodes read all the works
he could obtain ON violin making. The
Stradavarius and Stiner models he
made study, and took more than one

to his salary as pastor. this minister
makes "fiddles.''
The minister in question Is the Rev.
w. w. Rhodes, now pastor of the
United Evangelical church at Center
Hall, and he has come to regard the
making of violins as much of his life's
work, possibly, as preaching, though
the latter Is in nowise neglected in
the interest Of the former. Pastor
Rhodes is a natural mechanic 1t was
born in him, and greatly to this does
he now owe the trade Of violin maker
which he carries on with his work of
ministering to the spiritual wants of
humanity.

OF German Extraction.

Mr.. Rhodes is of German extraction.
He was born in 1843 at Unionville,
Chester county, Pa, and was of hum
BILE parentage. At the early age of 8
years the boy manifested rare taste
for music. His boyhood days were
spent with his aged grandparents and
1t was during this period that his me-
chanical ability developed. Withous
instruction of any kind young Rhodes
made wagons, plows. harrows, etc., and
even constructed rude fiddle at the
age OF 10.

To this latter incident he ascribes
all his future success. The fiddle was
made out of shingles, with wax ends
for strings, and corn stalk bow.
When completed William gathered
about him an audience of young COM
panions to hear him play the instru-
ment. But his grandmother heard it
also, and being conscientiously opposed
to fiddles, suddenly appeared on the
scene, but not before William had
warning sufficient to hide his instru-
ment in the woodbox. What is going
on In here?" exclaimed the aged lady,
adding that she had heard a devilish
fiddle. The youngsters attempted to
evade the wrath to come, but 1t was
only minute until the grandmother
found the rude fiddle, broke 1t over
the head of the maker, and threw it
into the stove. Next morning William
was given sound thrashing, and aft
er escaping from the hands of his
grandparent, shook his fist at her and
cried, "I'll make fiddle yet before

use it, otherwise, it becomes useless.
He said if you put bands of burlap
around trees when apples got about

crawl up and deposte an innumerable
quantity Of eggs, and then you must
fasten a clothes wringer on a wheel
barrow or wagon and go around every
seven days and take off the burlap
and run it through the wringer. this
will smash the everlasting stutling out
of the pesky little creatures. Tie
your burlap on the trunk again and
repeat every seven days until fall,
then take the stuff off and lay it away
for the next year. The professor said

CHEROKEE -LANYON 7 IRE
Blaze in the Laboratory Wednesday
Afternoon Threatened the Whole
Works for While.

Fire is the arch enemy of the Allen
county factories, both because of the
lack of adequate water and because of
the high winds that so often prevail.
So fire in one of the factories makes
people turn white.
About O'Clock Wednesday afternoon
just about the time the Office part of
the Cherokee-Lanyon smelter at Gas
City was quitting work and preparing
to leave the building, fire was dis
covered in the chemical laboratory
where assaying is done. How it start
ed no one knows, but it was rapidly
licking up the wood work, and as it
was on the west side of the works and
northwest wind was blowing, there
was imminent danger that the plant
might go. The alarm was sounded
and employees rushed from every
direction and bucket brigade was
soon at work and the flames quickly
extinguished before a hole had been
burned through the walls and the wind
admitted to fan the flames.
This is the same works that lost a
roast kiln a short time ago and it is
fortunate that the fire was so soon dis
! covered.
