THREE SWIMMERS TRY
TO SWIM THE CHANNEL
They Are Representatives of Lon
don Newspapers.

They Are Represe natives of Lon
don Newspapers.
Dover, England, Aug. 2O.-Three
swimmers are attempting to cross the
Straits OF Dover this year. Montagu
Holbein, Jack" Haggerty and S. w.
Greasley. Holbein. who has made in
the last few years four attempts to
swim across the channel, entered the
water in fifth attempt at ABS o'clock
this afternoon. starting from a point
near Lydden Spout westward of Dover.
Haggerty started from the admiralty
pier here at 6 o'clock. This is Hag-
gerty's first attempt to cross the chan
mel.
Greasley will take the water at high
tide tomorrow morning. They all
hope to reach Cape Girls Nez, on the
French coast. near Boulogne- Sur Muir,
within twenty hours. Experts say the
conditions are favorable. The sea to-
night is calm.
There is much popular interest in
the attempts, owing largely to the fact
that each swimmer represents a Lon
don newspape and that the three pa
pers have doomed their representative
constantly for several weeks.
Haggerty and Greasley are unknown
quantities, and are making their first
attempts, while Holbein, on account
of his persistence in previous pluclIy
efforts, is perhaps the popular favorite
He is AZ years of age; Haggerty is SS
and Greasley is 80. They have all been
in training for some time.
Each man will be accompanied by
physicians attendants and reporters in
boats and tugs. the latter using search
lights during the night.
Dover, England, Aug. 21.-Holbein
abandoned the attempt after having
been in the water ten hours and TWEEN
ty minutes, in which time he covered
distance of twenty miles. He was very
i'll during the last two hours of hip
swim.
Greasley. despite the announcement
that owing to the low temperature Of
the water. he would not make the at
tempt, started this morning.

Yet Arizona's hot days seldom show d
| humidity of more than IL per cent,
which explains away much of a New
York mans wonder when he is told
that 120 in the West is, after all, far
easier to meet and master than is 100
here
Barring only Death Valley and the
Colorado desert, Fort Yuma is the
hottest spot on the North American
continent, and it yields to no place in
the land. if one takes into considera-
ton only localities where men must
live and work. All conditions seem to
unite in making it the thing it is. 1t
lies in low. basin-like locality on the
edge of the lazy, muddy, Rio Colorado,
as it meanders through desert sands
and adobe soil down to the California
Gulf. There is not a blade of grass
to be found; no green thing, save
few sparse cottonwoods, shimmering in
the dusty sunshine.
The mines back in the hills are the
wealth of Yuma Gold, silver, copper
and lead are to be dug and carried
down to the railroad, and this, with a
government post and a state prison,
keeps in the furnace-like town popu
lation of about 5000, half American,
half Mexican. The railway station is
built of wood and painted ruthless,
uncompromising, glaring white, but
the rest of the place is composed of
one-story huts, called houses, whose
three foot walls are built of bricks of
adobe mud.
Senator Depew once visited Yuma
just once When some one afterward
asked him where it was, he said: II
can tell exactly. 1t is bounded on the
north by an active volcano, on the
west by a sterile canyon, on the south
by a gila monster and on the east
by a heat mirage"
Military journals show that Yuma
holds the heat record for the United
States. From the first of June on into
October the average mercury registers
from 30 to 10 degrees in the shade
every day, with not infrequent runs up
to lbs or 12S and for the month of
July the daily average is liz. There
are few rains to bring relief, not more
than five or six a year, all of which
come pelting down in the early spring.

HIPS Lucky Coat.
From the New York Sun.


Some people are wondering what coat
ex-senator David B. Hill will wear at
the coming State Convention. A man
who knows him says he has a lucky
coat which he may trot out for the &C.
casion. Said this man:
Il was present when David B. Hill
made his argument on the Molineux
appeal. l noticed that he wore an old
blue serge sack coat.
1T looked as though IL had served
its term as a street coat and then had
been worn for several years, at least,
in the office. 1t was out of shape and
needed pressing, and the creases be-
tween the shoulders and the lapels in
dicated that II spent not a little time
on a hook.
This item of apparel struck me as
singular, especially as the ex-Govern-
or is not known as a careless dresser.
and as l never before saw a lawyer
plead before such court in any ex-
cept the most formal of garments. In
deed, II is considered a breach OF ETH
quette to appear before the Court Of
Appeals in a short coat no matter how
new or fine IL may be. But there Hill
was, not only in a short coat, but in a
short coat that was all but ragged and
needed the touch Of the tailors iron.
In an effort TO discover the reason
knew must underlie his action |
asked several men who knew him well,
and at last found one who. although
he is neither lawyer nor a politician
sees much of Mr.. Hill In private.
What do you think he said was the
reason the pleader wore that coat? Be
cause he considers IL lucky His friend
says HIM has had that coat for years
and has firm conviction that h.
brings him good luck whenever he
wears H. He has more confidence INA
himself when this old garment covers

About StatesborO-NO Develop
ments in Atlanta.
Atlanta. Aug. 20.-The only new de-
velopment to-day in the Statesboro af-
fair was the receipt of a report from
Judge A. F. Daley, who presided at
the trial of the two negroes who were
lynched. Judge Daley's report was
made at the request of the military
authorities and is now on file in the Of
ice of Adjt. Gen. S. w. Harris.
Gen. Harris is out of the city and
Col. A. J. Scott, his assistant, refuses
TO give out the report until his return.
Gen. Harris viii not return to the city
until Monday at noon and will not
make his report to the Governor until
then. Gov. Terrell will return to the
city tomorrow night, but until Mon
day noon he will know no more in the
affair than he does now.
Gov Terrell was anxious to cut short
his visit to st. Louis. but was inform
ed by the officials here that nothing
could be accomplished by coming
home earlier than he intended. No re-
quest for court of inquiry has been
received from Capt Hitch and it is
understood now that he will leave the
matter entirely with the Governor
without making any such request.
Military men, who are constantly
coming to the capital. are discussing
what effect the Statesboro affair will
have on the troops who go to Manassas.
Some of them are fearful of trouble if
the troops gathered there from else
where attempt to guy the Georgians
They say they do not believe the Geor-
gia troops will stand for any raillery
and they look for several fights if it is
attempted.

granules, or, after their discoverer
Nissel bodies. Although but recently
described for the first time (1902), the
literature of these bodies is now enor-
nous, and various theories have been
advanced to account for the changes
to which they are subject. One the
ory, which has many supporters, is
that the Nissl bodies represent or con-
tain stored up energy and that they
undergo disintegration as the result of
cell activity. 1t is the fact, indeed.
that, following massive discharges of
nerve impulses, such as occur in the
violent commissions of epilepsy these
bodies break down into exceedingly
fine granules, but are restored by a
proper period of rest.
Assuming that the changes I have
indicated actually occur, a fairly rea-
sonable theory of fatigue and sleep
may be formulated thus:
AS a result of wakefulness with
mental and physical work the active
subsequently, nerve-centers and
muscles-produce something that cir
culates in the blood and gives a sense
of fatigue and drowsiness. While the
system is in this condition the nerve
cells are irregular in form and
shrunken; the nuclei are even more
shrunken and deformed, and some
parts of the cell substance have dis
appeared leaving empty cavities. The
stored up nervous energy contained
in the chromophile bodies has become
impaired by use, and these bodies are
more or less disintegrated. This is
fatigue; and under favorable conditions
sleep follows.
The immediate cause Of sleep is
diminished circulation of blood in the
brain. During natural sleep the nerve
u oil - -
normal condition, as well as the nu-
clei, and Nissrs granules resume their
normal appearance, storing up new
energy. By these processes the cells
return to condition suitable for re-
newed activity.
The bearing of these theories on
dreams and disordered mental condi-
tions, especially the insomnia of in
sanity, must be important, but dis
cussion of these questions would be
far beyond the scope of the article.

Nov that have regained my health

tell what cured me. l was a sufferer
for years, and although I tried many
doctors and medicines, nothing seem
ed to hit my case, until took Peruna,
and this was only after life had be-
come a burden to me and I was UNI
able to stand on my feet for any
length of time. After taking one bot
tie l felt much improved. 1 kept on
taking it until I had taken nine bot
ties and then considered myself cured.
I can now do my work with ease, can
walk as we'll as I ever could, and at
night feel only a natural tiredness I
sleep the night through. while before
I could not sleep longer than an hour
at a time. I am thankful to Peruna
for my health. Miss Annette Harris.

WIDE TIRES,

A brickmaker having 10000 brick to
deliver at point fifteen miles from
the brickyard loaded up nine ordinary
wagons, strung them together and
hitched on a twenty-five horsepower
traction engine. He delivered the brick
all right, and while costing him as much
as or more than it would have done
to have hauled the loads with teams
because of the very awkward method
of arranging his train he still very
definitely proved that given suitable
wide tired cars or wagons of three
times the capacity Of the ordinary wag-
on hitched close up to the engine he
could, when the condition Of the dirt
road would permit very economically
haul heavy loads Of gravel, brick, rock
or earth over common roads long
distance, and should for every trip so
made be given something for a very
valuable work done on the road in
smoothing and compacting the surface.

this plan, three wide tired dump cars
holding twelve tons being easily ham
died by such an engine.

RAINFALL STATISTICS.

The technical record of the rainfall
Of country does not always tell the
truth as to the value of that section
for agricultural purposes. The bulk of
such rainfall may come at the wrong
time of year, the dormant season,
when crops are not growing, as it does
In some parts of the south and south
west, and the crop season may be
marked by excessively dry weather.
This condition is very apt to be true
where the average rainfall is less than
twenty inches per annum, the precipi-
tation coming in the form of winter
rains and SHOWS, which are unavaila-
BILE for growing crops in the summer.
Ten inches of rainfall coming during
the four summer months will make a
good crop any year even if the earth is
dry as dust below, provided it be prop
erly distributed and supplemented by
dry weather methods of cultivating
crops. So while statistics as to rain
fall are guide they are by no means
infallible.
