Graham entered the water on the

far as the Devils Hole appeared com
raratively easy but the boiling water
at this point tossed the swimmer
about and many times hid him from
view Only twice however, was he in
danger A current suddenly tossed him
toward the shore dangerously near a

above the surface. BY desperate
swimming he just avoided the rock
and was carried on down stream.
Below the Devils Hole where the
river narrows Graham had another
hard battle. For several seconds at a
time he was lost to sight Of the spec.

Refuses to Recognize American
Represenfative-Ac Due
to Stone Case.

Charles M. Dickinson, of New York,
United States diplomatic agent at
Sofia, Bulgaria, has been declared
persona non grata by the Bulgarian
government on account of his atti-
tude in the case of Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the American missionary who
was abducted by Macedonian politi-
cal and religious enthusiasts. Mr..
Dickinson is now in COnstantinople.
In view of the declaration of Bull
garia, this government is obliged to
consider his position at Sofia as va
cant, and he will not return there.
The news of Mr.. Dickinson's dis
missal was received at the state de-
partment from John G. A. Leishman,
United States minister to Turkey,
who sent a brief telegram saying
that the Bulgarian government had
declined to recognize Mr.. Dickinson.
che only explanation of this action
given by Minister Leishman was that
it was based on dissatisfaction with
Mr.. Dickinson's conduct last fall
This unquestionably refers to the ac-
tivity shown by Mr. Dickinson at

had been responsible, through neg

and he was of the opinion also that

secure her release.

'X-RAYS FOR CANCER.
Pronounced Reliable Cure by EN-
inent Medical Men.
New York Investigators An
nounce the Result of Recent Ex-
perihents-Dr. Merton's Con-
illusions Summed Up.

The highest medical authorities have
at last announced that a cure for can
Ger has been found. At the latest
meeting of the academy of medicine.
held in New York city, DR.. William
j. Morton declared that cancer could
| be cured by the X-rays, that new pene-
trating light discovered by Prof. Roent-
gen, the German scientist.
| DR.. Morton's claim was corroborated
| by DR.. Francis H Williams. of Boston;
| DR.. A. b. Johnson. DIR. Charles W. Allen,
DR.. W. D. Coley and DIR. John A. For

| DR.. Morton and DR.. Coley exhibited
patients to the 800 or more doctors
who were assembled. showing the last
marks of cancers that had been dried
up by the new method of treatment
Some time ago DIR. Morton noticed
that if the N-rays were shot through
| a glass bowl of water containing
number of small jellyfish the jellyfsh
acted as if suddenly paralyzed. 1t was
impossible for the tiny creatures to
live in the fierce, hot light that was
turned upon them.
1t has been known for years by doc
tors that a cancer is very like bowl
packed full of tiny jellyfish. The little
living atoms are so small that no mi
croscope can separate them, but no
one doubts any longer that the can
Ger germ is distinct and living thing.
Up to the present time the most sue
cessful treatment of a cancer has been
to cut it out with the surgeons knife,
but this has always been an uncertain
method, as the cancer would grow
again if a single germ were left be-
hind.
With the use of the X-rays this I'M
certainty is said to be at an end. The
germ-ki-ling rays may be sent entire

No germ can hide from an X-ray,
and the heat may be so regulated as
to paralyze the germ, yet not to cause
any injury to the healthy flesh, bone
and muscle.
If the rays are turned on too strong
" they are apt to burn the patient, OF
may even cause gangrene. This fact
will prevent amateurs or "quacks'

With regard to the electric treat

authorities in the world than DR.. Nor

and that he found it impossible to
maintain relations with them. Until

kiinister Leishman is now engaged
in conducting an inquiry into the
circumstances of the abduction and

Turkey or Bulgaria was in any meas

causing the numerous delays in the
accomplishment of the attempts of
American agents, including Mr.. Dick

explanation of his difficulties with
the Bulgarian officials is awaited

Immense Power of Frost.

g-Inite quarries, Aberdeen. A large
ST me had been drilled ready for

the foreman that nature might aid
in the object to be attained, the idea
being suggested by the severe frost
which prevailed. Water was poured
into each of the drill holes, and it
was found after a couple of days
that the block of granite had COM
pletely burst open. An idea of the
immense power of frost will be
gathered when it is stated that the
stone thus detached has a weight of
six tons.

sagacity. Among newspaper men he
is held to be a political prophet with
out a peer. The manner in which his
reputation was earned is decidedly in
teresting. In the campaign of 1896
Mr.. Payne declined to give out any
estimates until fortnight before

called into his room at national repub-
lican headquarters, and he read from
a slip of paper list of states which,
in his opinion, would give their cleo
tora1 votes for Mr.. Mckinley. Mr..
Payne's estimate was printed in the
newspapers of the west, and when the
returns came in it was found that he
had made a mistake in regard to only
one state.
There is, however. another side to
his nature known only to his most in

devotion to his wife, who has but re-

the way the dog struck him on the

shook himself, and trotted down the
street, apparently unframed.
