No Better Way to Go Abroad Than to
Start Journey in Southeastern
Pennsylvania.

Those of our fellow citizens who
imagine that the only way to go
abroad is via q transatlantic liner.
need to get acquainted with certain
spots In southeastern Pennsylvania.
There Is no better starting point and
time for his voyage after novel sights
and interesting experiences than the
city of Lancaster, the seat of the richest
county in the state, on any local mar.

Four-Traok News. Most Of these
people are representatives Of one
of the most curious survivals In all
America, the Amish Mennonites, .

seeded from the main body about the

vALoR IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Peruvian Ship Battles Desperately for
Hours Against Three Chill
ian Vessels.

Once the Peruvian monitor Huascar
fought against three Chilian ships.
After both Admiral Grau and his Dag
lieutenant were killed Capt. Aguirre
took command, was killed and then
succeeded by Capt Carbajal, who was
put hors de combat by a shell. The
command devolved then on Lieut..
Palacios. who was disabled, and finally
Lieut. Gareyon. with the ship on fire,
three feet Of water In the hold and with a
loss Of half his officers and crew, was
forced to strike his flag.
On July %. 1879, the Huascar was in
action against the Chilian ship Abtao
Torpedoes were not at that time much
understood and. one being fred from
the Huascar. through faulty mechan-
ism returned back straight upon the
ship. Seeing this and knowing that
IL the ship was struck she must sink,
Lieut. Diaz Canseco jumped overheard
and In the water with his hands al
tered its course just before 1t came in
contact with the ship.
The fierceness of the fighting and
the appalling slaughter both in this
war and that Of Paraguay against
Brazil can be matched only by the
present war between the Russians end
the japanese. Venezuela, the Argen-
tine Republic, Chill and portions Of
Peru and Of Brazil are Inhabited by
some of the most athletic and wsrlike
races In the world.

SHOCK BRINGS BACK VOICE
Physician Says That Electricity If
Judiciously Used Often
Restores Speech.

A young woman who had not been
able to speak for Ave years has recov-
cred her voice through electricity. One
of the hospital surgeons who operated
said: I'VE occasionally get patients who
are unable to speak, not through any
organic ailment, but simply because
they are in hysterical condition, and
we often cure them by strong electric
shock. AS rule they yell out, and then
they have no excuse for not being able
to speak. We do not suggest that such
patients have been shamming. They ac-
tually cannot speak, although there is
nothing wrong with their voice They
are the kind of patients who sometimes
go under Quack treatment and make re-
markable' cures, There Is "a good deal OF
faith healing in this matter" Swedish
doctors having found minute pieces OF
enamel from granite" ware In cases Of

common use of this ware may have somo-
thing to do with the prevalence of ap-
pendicitis.

This delicate question was raised in
the English probate and divorce court.
The president, Sir Francis JeuLe, was
compelled to admit that the. solution
was beyond him. The point was
raised In this way: A young man

TOT IS A FINE vIoLINIsT.
Unusual Ability Of Five Year Old
New Jersey Youth-Bright Flu
ture Prophesied for Him.

Tacony, N. Though only five years
old. little James H. Livingstone, of Ia
cony has already achieved more than
local reputation as violinist of unusual
ability.
His first public appearances were
made last fall as soloist with the Ta-
cony orchestra at musical given by the
Ladies' auxiliary of the Tocany Episco-
pal church and with the same orchestra
in the grand contest at Maennerchor hall,
on November 81. where 1t won the sec
ond prize.
On both occasions the boys playing
surprised and delighted the audiences.
and it Is freely predicted that bright fu-
ture lies before him.
James early showed evidence Of pos
sessing q natural talent for music. He
could whistle any tune he had once
heard, and soon learned to pick them
out on the piano. About year ago his
parents placed him with Prof. George
A. Ebbeckes, believing that II the boy
had real talent 1t was not too early to
start developing 1t. Events have shown
the wisdom OF their action. for the boy
showed natural aptitude for the violin
and improved daily In his knowledge Of
its technique. Prof. Ebbeckes is proud
OF his young pupil and expects great
things Of him.

MODERN PILGRIM VILLAGE.
Town Of Duxbury at Plymouth Bay
Is as Picturesque as In
Antiquity.

Quantity picturesque is the little Pill
grim town Of Duxbury, declares Austin
Cook, in Four-Track News. The water
Of Plymouth bay washes its long sandy
beach, while to the south rises the green
slope OF Captains hill. II was the Sec
ond settlement made by our forefathers,
and still clinging to it are the memories
of those early days. Miles Standish was
the ruling spirit and at one time owned
the greater part OF the village Who
does not feel a personal affection for the
"redoubtable" captain, with his quick
temper and his warm heart? Although
not at that time member OF the Pilgrim
communion, he left all the wealth and
luxury of his ancestral home in England,
and cast his lot with these devout and
sincere people, and most efficiently did
he serve them. Before they left the
May flower" he was chosen military
commandant, and soon proved his cour-
age by penetrating into an Indian en-
campment and dealing with them so
summarily that ever after they stood in
awe Of the man, who tho little in stat
ure, was great in strength"

AuoUR FOR DRILLING SALT

compressed air. The augur Is mounted
on wheeled truck, which Is guided by
handles projecting from the rear Of the
framework. The rear end OF the augur
revolves In q socket fitted into the frame
work, while the air is admitted to the
socket from the hose which supplies 1t.
When operated the boring tool Is pushed
against the mass Of salt and the augur
is set in motion and in minute or two.
SO rapidly does the tool work, q hole
about five inches In diameter Is made in
the formation the entire length of the
augur. Then another hole Is drilled par
