Special Dispatch to The c.u.

CAPE HENRY, Va, Dec. 3.-Without
a person aboard one Of the fastest two
submarine torpedo boats in the world,
either the Adder or the Moccasin. OF
the United States navy, lies stranded
on bar four miles south of Currituck
life-saving station tonight Ready to
do what they may TO save her. but de-
TERED by very heavy sea, which is
lashed to fury by a northwest gale,
llfe-savers are upon the beach waiting
for favorable opportunity TO reach
the craft.
Only by good luck was it that both
submarines were not in the same pre-
dicament. For time both had been
washed adrift from the line by which
the Government tug Peoria was towing
them from Newport to the naval sta
tion at Annapolis, Md. After desperate
exertiOn the men on the tug managed
to pick up one Of the submarines
(Which one cannot be ascertained to-
night and headed at once for Norfolk
The first that was known that the
torpedo boats were in any difficulty was
when the United States Weather Bu-
reau station in Norfolk received this
dispatch over it's wire from the coast:
Tug supposed to be Peoria and two
torpedo boats are in distress or Little
Island"
This information was communicated
to Rear Admiral p. F. Harrington, who
is in command of the Norfolk navy
yard, and he at once sent the auxiliary
gunboat Yankton to Little Island,
which is about twenty miles south OF
Virginia Beach, under the command OF
Lieutenant G. w. Williams The Yank-
ton left the navy-yard at O'Clock this
afternoon and four hours later she was
reported as having passed False Cape.
That the torpedo boats are the Adder
and the Moccasin there can be no
doubt In tow OF the navy tug Peoria
they left Newport, r. L. where they
had been all summer engaged in i'm
portant maneuvers, to go to Annapolis.
In command Of both vessels was
Lieutenant Frank L. Pinney. but the
crew of each boat was aboard the PeO-
ria, and neither submarine was
manned

probably the ordering of strike of the
orchestra which supplies the music for

Franko, when asked what he would

The women do not want to join the

regarding the 'menacing possibility that

Gil, recently deposed, the State Depart
ment to-day caused the opening Of the
arbitration Of a claim Of $4,000. 600 urged
by the Santo DOMINICAN Improvement
company Of New York against the Do
minican republic
Senor Galvan, who was named as the
Dominican representative on the arbi-
trauon commission, arrived in Wash

been here many hours ne was in con-
ference AT the Interstate Commerce
Commission with John @. Carlisle. for
mer Secretary OF the Treasury. who is
the representative Of the improvement
company and the United States, and
j 'dge George Gray OF Delaware, who
d is to act as umpire. Regular sessions
viii soon begin.
This company assumed part Of the
Dominican debt and was given impor-
tant port concessions and the right TO
collect certain revenues. When these
privileges were abrogate6- the Company
at once brought large claims against
the Dominican Government. A treaty
was negotiated providing for reference
of the case 10 arbitration. General

The necessity for some such action
Is held to be more apparent every day.

LONDON, Dec. BIN the London
Hospital there is a little girl with
typhoid fever who is undergoing a
method of treatment which, it is said,
has been employed only once in the
history Of that institution. For five
days past the patient. who is only five
years old, has been kept in bath of
not water. She lies on water pillows
and her body is entirely under water
which is kept at a constant temper
ature of 101 degrees by an arrangement
OF hot and cold water entering the mix
ing cistern, from which it flows into
the bath and thence out by a pipe.
In five days the child's tempera ature
has fallen from 1o5 to 103 degrees. but
the crisis has yet to come At least
three weeks must be spent in the bath
oerore the disease can be shaken off.
1t is said to be most unusual to find
typhoid case necessitating this treat
ment. Some years ago, in the London
Hospital, man was kept immersed
for six weeks and recovered.

SLEEPING IN PIECES.

A RE you aware that you are a sort

Man-and, indeed. nearly all kinds OF
living animals-has in his system a con-
siderable quantity of iron. II is found
in the more important organs. and there
should also be good deal in the blood.
Babies possess a fairly large stock OF
iron. nearly three times as much. com
parativeIy speaking. as adults.
Then in your bones there is a very
large quantity Of that metallic base OF
lime called calcium. while phosphorus is
also present in bones IN so large an
amount that they are the main source OF

Stranger still, there is in the human
body quite an appreciable amount OF
arsenic What there is OF this poison is
concentrated in the thyroid gland; and
a small quantity is also TO be found in
the skin. hair. nails. and also in the
bones and brain
There are lots OF odd things about our
human frames which even doctors and
other men OF science have only lately
discovered. and OF which the average
person is quite unaware. Few people
