Often Magnetic Disturbances Are SUI.
6cient TO Cause Great Dis
astes at Sea.


On the morning Of June % last
the Danish steamship Norge
struck the island Of Rockall, To
the west Of the Hebrides The ship
broke up and some 600 lives were
lost. Apropos Of this disaster,
DIR. August Krogh. Of Copenha-
gen, asks the somewhat perturb.
ing question. "Can the com
passes of modern ships be inilu-
cnced by magnetic disturbances in
such q degree as to imperil naviga-
tion?"
According to her course the
Norge should have been - miles
to the north of Rockall and Or.
Krogh assumes that il is impossi-
bic to account for the difference
between the ships real position
and that of the reckoning without
assuming sudden aud large
change in the deviation Of the com.
pass. lie forwards to Nature dep
ositions made by two captains in
Confederation of this view.
The first of these is by Capt.
Hveyscl. of the steamship Carl,
who states that ON Il voyage from
the tinted States to Denmark he
found by careful solar and stellar
observation thai in a very short
time. when in the neighborhood OF
ROckall, "bOth the compasses OF
the ship had acquired hitherto
unknown easterly deviation of ten
TO eleven degrees. \ faint north
ern light was visible and the cap
tam attributed to this cause the
magnetic disturbance. Toward
midnight the cOmpasses were Oh.
served TO return to- their normal
deviation"
The second evidence is that ot
Capt. f. W. Horner, of the British
ship Elixir of West Hartlepool.
who came into the vicinity
Of Rockall island on yoy.
age from Florida to Linhamm,
IN Sweden. He found that be-
tween noon June "A and noon
June % the cempasses had de-
waited nine degrees. ~ was steer
ing he saws, ito pass 20 miles
,aeRth of Roekall and found by oh.
seryation on June % that had
passed 45 miles north of it," IN
other words, if he had been on the
south side of the island his shin
would have suffered the same
fate as the Norge. Disturbances
Of the compass needle like these
are unknown, and the peril they in.
volve would Justify inquiry by the
governments of Britain and Den
mark to discover wheth there ex
lists something about Rockall's
seagirt pyramid to account for
them"

AAr aus Of nALpNEss



There Is every reason to bcllcve
that prlmitivt'nnin hadin thicl'
and abundant head OF hair, and
that this natural clothing Of the
scalp is diminishing among civil.
lied peoples, and will end by dis
appearing altogether, which
would certainly not be advan.
tageous from an aesthetic point OF
view. The cause Of this disappear.
ance Of the hair, according 10 the
doctors, must be sought in the
very conditions of civilization and
in the customs il has introduced.
One of the customs especially hnrt-
ful to the harris the hat, and, above
all. the masculine hat: so we see
mans hair suffer more than WON
ans.
The hat produces badness by
two different methods FIRST, by
creating about the head an atmos
phere which is fatally warm and
moist, and which prevents the pen
etration Of the rays of light that
are so fatal to bacteria; the hat
makes for the microbes a sort Of
imprOyised hotbed, which is ex-
tremely favorable to their devel.
opment. and il is known that mi
crobes play an important role in
the production of badness. If it
had been desired to foster the ex-
istence of microbes capable Of liy-
ing upon the scalp or in the hair, a
more favorable means for their
protection and multiplication
than the hat could not have been
found. Again, the hat, holding its
place upon the head solely by pres
sure, exerts a second pernieious
influence upon the scalp; il Gem
presses the arteries and the veins
it impedes the circulation Of the
blood and, consequently, the nu-
triton Of the organs which pro.
duee the hair. Ii is. therefore,
dOuhly desirable that the reign OF
the hat should cease, in the case Of
men---for with women the hat is
so light a thing that it can exert
only a trifiing proportion OF the
rayageS it is responsible for in
nen--and that this garment
should be renowned err replaced
by some less injurious article. As
matter OF fact, men would be
very healthy with bare heads. The
hair would be strengthened and
would serve as hat /; it would only
be necessary TO protect the hea(
against tile rays of the sun in sum
mer in order to avoid sunstroke
IT is true the public ilnagines tina
ii would catch cold more easily
but this is mistake. y draugh
alone is not enough TO give cold
a mierobe is absolutely necessary
From the hygicnic point of yiey
there are fewer Inconvenience il
going with the head bare than il
! carrying about upon il a hothous
for microbes.

tains no injurious drugs, but it is the
most delicious and valuable preparation
OF cod liver oil known to medicine, with
out drop of oil to retard its work.

FEARS MURDER CHARGE.
An Anonymous Letter Causes Grief 70
Sioux City Woman.


Special to Times-Republican.
Sioux City, Aug. 7.-Beset by an ev-
er constant fear that her husband may
be taken i'll and she blamed for his
condition, Mrs Theodore M. Stephen
son, 4O7 Clark street, is striving with
might and main to clear away the
cloud over her household, by discover
ing the author of a letter recently
sent to the police, warming them that
she and a young man, George M. Spen-
Ger, were about to cause the death OF
Mr.. Stephenson by slow poison.
I Stephenson, when made acquainted
with the contents of the letter without
the knowledge of his wife, declared the
author to be q liar.
Later, when the story became
known to Mrs Stephenson, she de-
manded complete investigation. Or
ficers attempted to locate the author
of the letter, but to no purpose. So
the case has been dropped temporar-
lily, but Mrs. Stephenson is still much
worried, for the matter has become
the subject of neighborhood gossip east
Of the viaduct and she is constantly
the subject OF suspicion.
That she has been deeply wronged,
there appears no doubt. Her hus-
band, though not on the best of terms
with her, strenuously defends her, yet
the incident has caused an estrange-
ment between the two. In the midst
of her trouble, Mrs. Stephenson de-
clares she would not, under any cir
cumstances, give her husband dose
of medicine, and though he is still
boarding at home, she fears to cook
his meals.
