What amount the city will donate in

Ignatz Gresser of Allentown, Has
Heroism Recognized Many
Years After the War

Years After the War
Special to The Herald.
ALLENTOWN, Pa, July 16.-Nearly
forty-th three years after having saved
a comrades life on the field of battle,
Ignatz Gresser, chaplain of E. b. Young
post, No. 81, G. A. r., of this city,
has received the reward for his bravery
from the United States government.
Comrade Gresser served three enlist
ments in the Civil War, the first with
Allan infantry of the First defenders.
In marching through Baltimore on that
memorable April IS. 1861. he was hit on
the leg by a cobblestone thrown from
the mob, and has the distinction of be-
ing one of the first Union soldiers
wounded after hostilities were opened.
Later he enlisted in Company d, One
Hundred AND Twenty eighth regiment
Pennsylvania volunteers, and at the
battle of Ant,etam, on September II,
1852, he carried Corp. William III. Sow
den. later elected to congress. and who
had been wounded, off the famous corn
field amid storm of shot and shell.
For this display of heroism the war
department has sent Gresser a very
handsome gold medal of honor. 1t is
an elaborate affair and is appropriately
inscribed.

One of the attractions which we are
already seeking to bring to Los Angeles
is the famous Kilties band, Canada g

as part of the military is able to leave
Canada only by permission of the
crown. The band will probably a.

BULGARIA ASKS PROTECTION

SOFIA. Bulgaria. July 16.-rhe Bull
garian government has sent a circular
to the representatives of the powers in
which the powers are asked to inter-
vene for the protection of the Bulgar-
ian population in the villayet Of Adria-
nople, European Turkey, against sys-
tematic Turkish persecution which
forces the Bulgarians to abandon their
homes to seek refuge in the forests and
to become active rebels. The note sug-

guarantee the delegates the best time
they have ever had.
The Angelenos received what they
asked for and the activity which is all
ready manifest at this early date in
making preparations promises that
they will live up to their guarantee.
Plans Are Elaborate
"None of our plans will be lessened," ("
said William D. Stephens, past poten-
tate of the Los Angeles temple, yes
terday, "but on the contrary, almost
every one of them will be enlarged. AT
the committee meeting of the members
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
association and shriners held Friday we
merely outlined our program.
There are two reasons why the
fiesta alone will bring great throngs to
Los Angeles. First, because it will be
of unrivaled magnificence and, sec
ondly, people throughout the United
States will be given special railroad
rates. This has not been possible in
the past, but the national council of
the shriners convening here at the
same time the fiesta is held will be re-
sponsible for much larger crowds than
would otherwise be the case.
"Of course, large patronage will be
expected from California and adjoining
states San Francisco shriners promise
they will bring with them the largest
delegation that has ever visited the
Queen City of the South. This is say
ing a great deal when the 1000 visitors
from San Francisco who took in the
Knights of Columbus convention last
June is considered but the shriners of
the Foggy city say their representa-
ton here next May will not be less
than 1000 persons.
'In addition, special trains will be
run from all over the United States and
Canada and Mexico.
Canadian Is Potentate
"Our present imperial potentate is
Harry Collins of Toronto, the first
Canadian to have held that office. on
account of Canada's having the chief
executive OF the order Canadians will
be more than usually Interested in the
1907 meeting of the council.

Warshlp to the Rescue

1.-THE three boats which had been
lowered from the ship were fortunately
af1oat, with their regulation crews on
board. They did their utmost to res
cue the officers and men, but the fate
of the boats themselves seemed at
times precarious. A few minutes later,
however, a searchlight was observed in
a southeasterly direction. The light
approached and disclosed to view che
warship which had come to the rescue.
The latter stopped at distance of 300
meters from the scene of the disaster,
illumined the scene with all her search
lights and dispatched three boats to
the rescue. At sight of the Otowa the
men who had resigned themselves 10
death raised cries for help, thus i'll
creasing the sadness of the scene.
Despite the efforts of the boats only
1873 persons, including Captain Ishi-
bashi, were saved more than $50 being
lost, including Commander Nakayama.

When YOU have your thermometer,
boil some water for iftcen minutes,
and then let it stand until il coOls,
Then keeping it perfectly stiIl, heat it
again, aud you win find that the tenn
perature will go a few degrees higher
than 2l2, without causing thc water
To boil.
II you will now drop some piece Of
metal into the water, il will at once
bcaA~>to boil. The explanation of this
is that the air is expelled from the
water when it bOils, and the water
with air in IL boils more quickly than
water without air in Il, so that, at the
second boiling higher temperature
Is reached before boiling begins. When
you drop the scraps of metal into the
water they carry mir with them; be
sides, they reduce the temperature of
the water to the boiling point
Another experiment may be made by
putting some salt or sugar into water,
and then boiling il; you will find that
IL will take q higher temperature than
pure water, for the reason that some
heat is required TO separate the salt or
sugar from the water before the latter
can be- converted into steam You may
in this way prove for yourself the de
gree of heat for boiling various sub
stances -,io. 'r-''iSs
Still another interesting experiment
consists in boiling some water in 4
glass flask then, while IL is boiling,
cork il tightly, and remove ii from the
flame. When 1t stops boiling in the
flask, pour some cold water over the
outside, and II will begin TO boil again.
Or plunge the. flask into cold water
and the same thing will happen. You
may be able TO do this several times
with the same flask The explanation
is that IN corked flask of boiling
water there is some steam above the
surface Of the water AMI the appli-
cation of cold water causes this steam
To condcnsC, which at once removes
some of the pressure from the surface,
causing it TO boil, as tho bubbles OF
steam can then escape.

HIS FATE FOUND HIM.

Capt Robert Faulkner, a commander
IN the British navy in 1874. was a man
oi unusual courage. During an en-

not seem 10 be himself The man. he
thought, seemed 10 hesitate when he
gave his orders. In Famous Fighters

Captain Faulkner turned aside TO one
Of his officers.
Il think Mr. Dash seems confused, as
if be doesn't know what be is about.
Has he been in action before?
MANY times, sir" was tho reply.
He has been twenty-four years In
the service
But Faulkner was not satisfied He
eyed the pilot closely, and then step
ping up 10 him, asked him n trifling
question. The pilots agitation was
such rs 10 render him Incapable OF q
reply Recovering himself To some en-
tent q moment later, the wretcbed
man, keeping his eyes on the deck. In
a low voice addressed Faulkner, who
was bending over him, with this start
ling admission:
Il see your honor knows mo. ] am
unfit. 10 guide her. | don't know wha0
IS come over me. / dreamt last nighl
! should be killed, and | am so afrai
] don't know what l am about

Without for an instant losing his
presence of mind, Captain Tau!knOr re-
piled 10 the man in stIll lower tone:
The fate of this expedition depends
on the man at the helm. Give IL 10
me, and go and hide your head in what
ever you fancy the safest part of the
ship. But mind, fears are catching
If / hear you tell yours to one Of your
mcssmates, your life shall answer for

The poor fellow, panic-stricken, went
away, and overcome with shame, sal
down upon the arm-chest, while Cap,
tain Faulkner seized the helm, amt
with his own hand laid the Zebra
close 10 the walls Of the fort; but be

gallant followers, a cannoE-hall struck
