ENeLAND's GREAT FOG.
Sir oliver Lodges Successful Attack
Upon Part of IL.

SIR oliver Lodges Successful Attack
Upon Part OF IL.
There was one man in Birmingham
who was profoundly grateful for the
recent heavy fog in England. 1t was
Sir Oliver Lodge, to whom the vista
ton presented a fresh opportunity to
renew the steady war which he com
menced twenty years ago against the
fog fend.
Standing in a secluded courtyard OF
Birmingham university, his deerstalker
cap and long brown overcoat beaded
with moisture, Sir Oliver was to be
seen absorbed in the contemplation Of
mysterious strands Of barbed wire
which vanished few feet above in i'm
penetrable vapors.
From his research laboratory came
the vicious crackle of a powerful cleo
trio discharge, and great jagged sparks
vibrated between the spherical termi-
nails Of the apparatus with which his
assistants were preparing to launch the
tentative thunderbolts Of science
against the British climate.
Men pulled the terminals apart, and
as the discharge was transferred to the
outside wires there proceeded from the
hundreds of invisible barbs overhead a
fizzling noise, like the sound of rain
drops on q hot plate
Then a wonderful thing happened.
Through the opaque fog bank the
outlines Of the tall university buildings
were gradually developed with the
slow certainty Of a Photographic plate.
The fog became a cloud and the cloud
a mist, deposlting itself in dank drops
about the walls, wrlthing and squirm-
ing as though racked by the violence OF
the discharge.
Away up at the caves. eiRi1rg feet
high, there were visible theoelaBdf6te e
insulators in which the barbed wires
terminated.
Then the current was shut of, the
noise censed, and the acrid white fog
crept back and enveloped the courtyard
once more.
When it was suggested that a score
Of installations similar to this would
afford practical relief to the fog bound
city Sir Oliver said. "All that / can do
IS to erect this model apparatus for the

Galveston. Tex, April 27--A state
of friction bordering on mutiny is said
to exist on the new United States
cruiser Galveston. The vessel arrived
here last Wednesday on her maiden
trip to receive a silver service from
the citizens of Galveston. Commander
Cutler ordered his ship away from the
wharves, where she has been since
her anchorage in the road, so that the
officers might be better able to control
the men, numbers Of whom were leav-
ing the ship and overstaying their
shore leave. Federal and municipa
officers have returned nearly tw

whom are said to have been into,

ed against the treatment which they
allege is accorded them on board ship
by Commander Cutler
The men, among them several petty
officers Of long service. pronounce the
voyage of the Galveston the most un-
bearable they ever have experienced.
Many of the men denounce the com
mander and state that they are over
worked and under-fed. They claim
that for the most trivial offenses they
are given the extreme penalty, and
that 60 of the men are in irons. The
marines are said to be almost worn
out preserving order on board. The
cruiser sailed for Norfolk.

working three hours with SIS --,l-

Dick Craighead inficting wounds that
will probably prove fatal. Craighead
was charged with the murder of Mrs.
Isaac Mckee, wife of Craigheads s
half-brother, and her little son.
The authorities were unaware Of the
design on the prisoner until It was too
late to protect him. Every telephone
and telegraph wire out ef Homer was
cut, and the rifles of the Claiborne
Guards were seized before the attack
was made on the jail. So quietly did
the men work that scarcely any one
in the village was aware of what was
taking place at the jail. Having dug a
hole through the brick wall, the lynch
ers crawled through the opening. but
on reaching the steel cell in which the
prisoner was confined, found it impos-
siblefto break the lock. They then be-
gan shooting at the covering prisoner
through the bars of his cell, more than
20 shots being fired, and nearly every
one taking effect. The mans legs. arms
and portions of his body were torn to
shreds with bullets. Believing that
Craighead was dead, the lynchers left
the prison and dispersed
When Sheriff Kirkpatrick reached
the jail he found Craighead still alive.

A physician says that there is not
one remotest corner or little inlet
of the minute blood vessels Of the
human body that does not feel some

stoned by good, hearty laughter. The

shaken to the innermost depths,
sending new tides Of life and
strength to the surface, thus ma
terially tending to insure good
health to the persons who indulge
therein. The blood moves more rap
idly and conveys a different impress

as it visits them on the particular
mystic journey when the man is
laughing, from what is done at other
times. For this reason every good,
