The death of the little daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles shafer, Of Schat-
or. N. D., who was fatally shot Sept: Is,
1908, by the accidental discharge of a
pistol in the hands of her little brother.
was one of the saddest casualties which
has occurred in this community since
its settlement. The news caused pro.
found sorrow throughout the entire
neighborhood. The little one being an
exceptionally bright and winning child,
had found her way into the love and
friendship of all who knew her. This
untimely taking away robs the home. of
a sweet and sunny disposition, and
leaves in the hearts of it's inmates an
aching void, which only time and long
suffering can temper.

KILLED BY SHAKING.
New York Doctor Discovers New
Way of Destroying Germs.
Experiments Conducted by DR.. s. j.
MeItzer Increase Our Know
ledge of the PecuIinrities
of bacteria.

A London dispatch telling of expert
ments in which bacteria were killed bya
mechanical shock alone was read with
peculiar interest at the College OF
Physicians and Surgeons in t1fty-nlnth
street, New York. Dr. S. j. Meltzer,
prominent physician of New YORK
city, who carried on good deal of his
original research work in the college
laborat cries, but is not officially con-
nected with the college, has. been con-
Quoting experiments along this line
for several years, and has obtained re-
suits almost identical with those an
nounced in England.
DR.. Meltzer is graduate of the UNI
versty Of Berlin and is known to the
profession as a diligent student. Or.
Meltzer, it was said at the college, has
not only demonstrated that incessart
vibrations from strokes of an engine
and violent shocks are destructive to
germ life, but he has also furnished
valuable data on the problem as to
whether or not vibration is factor in
the maintenance of life. lie found
that certain amount of shocks IS
good for bacteria.
He performed his first experiments
with the help of an agitator, an APP
parat1ls similar to the shakers used in
bottling establishments, and took as
the subject of his test the bacillus
me ga therium, or the elephant" germ.
He put cultures in TASKS, about one
third full of solution, and subjected
some of them to a shake of $50 severe
movements a minute.
The result was that he found that
the number of germs in the agitated
fluid in no instance amounted to as
much as one-tenth of those in the un-
shaken samples. The number was in
variably smaller than at beginning OF
the experiment.
DR.. Meltzer's experiments with the
effects of slow but incessant vibrations
upon germ life were carried on in the
engine room of Harlem brewery,
where the ma refinery is kept running
dav and night. He found that after
four days bacteria were dead in TASKS
which he had left there, while steady
growth had taken place in specimens

left in ordinary conditions,

81 THE DAY Of RESURRECTION: Y5
(4x
W. 0NE OF THE BEAUTIFUL LESSONS OF EASTER SUNDAY y

Three striking events stand out in
the life of Christ-His birth, His
death, His resurrection. At Christ
mas one thinks Of the Christ-child,
the manger Of the stable, the herald
song Of the angels, the gifts and
alteration of the magf. Good Friday
recalls the days Of His temptation in
the wilderness, the agony in Geth-
semane, the trial before Plate, the
weary journey along the Via Doloro-
sa, the wounds in His hands and feet.
But all of His sufferings and His
teachings might have been in vain If
His body had remained in the tomb
Of the rich man of Arimathea. 1t
is not the Christ of the Beatitudes,
nor the Jesus who preached reli-
gion of love and goodness, but it Is
the risen Christ, the conqueror OF
death, whom Paul and his associates
preached, and it was their preaching
which brought civilization into fell
lowship with their Lord and Master.
All that IN n fear is centered in
death. He who tasted death has
stripped the monster of his terrors.
Thus the church halls and wei
comes the day which commentaries
the resurrection. The affairs are
laden with flowers, the priests put
on vestments of brightest hues, the
grand organs peal triumphant music,
and the choirs sing their gladdest
songs. Filled with the fullness of the
promise, worshipers likewise attire
themselves in garments Of brightest
colors, and the day is made one OF
rejoicing, subdued, because of the
holiness Of Him who gave such proof
of His power over death and the
grave. WILLIAM ROSSER COBBE,

TUNNEL UNDER CHANNEL.
Yerkes Makes Proposition for Cons
Meeting of Britain with the
Continent.

Charles II. Yerkes, who ran over to
Paris for week, had such a bad
time crossing the English channel in
gales that he said on his returning to
London:
"lIenceforth / am warm advocate
of channel tunnel. 1t is incrCdi-
BILE that SO trihing an engineering
work should be allowed to keep Eng
land from reaping the advantages
which free intercourse with the con-
tinent would give"
Mr.. Yerkes is now undisputed mas
ter of the field so far as tube" con-
struction in London is concerned.
His are the only tube" schemes
which parliament is allowing to be
proceeded with pending the report OF
the royal commission on under
ground rapid transit, which probably
will not be published for year.
Cleverness. discernment, and hust-
ling abilities have placed Mr.. Yerkes
in this advantageous position. If he
had been guided by his English part
ners he would be now in the same
position as his rivals, whose schemes
are indefinitely hung up.

MAY FIND CAPT. KIDD'S GOLD.
Mig Excavation to he Dug In New
York on site of the Home OF
the Daring Pirate.

Public curiosity bids fair to be
aroused to an unusual degree by an
excavation soon. to be made on the
property at the junction of Peary and
Beaver streets, New York, because on
that spot, according to report, once
stood the house where lived Capt. Kidd
when he was not busy with his long,
low, rakish craft Not only will an
excavation be made, but, as History
building is TO be built on the site, cais-
sons will probably be put down, so
that if the late Capt. Kidd stored his
treasure there nothing can prevent its
discovery.
In Kidd's time the shore of East
river was between what are now Pearl
and Water streets-all beyond that
on the present map being made
ground"-and the present owners OF
the plot in question say that the re-
port of Kids possession Of it at one
time is well authenticated. The plot
is flat-iron shape.
