Proc. EpsoN DEAD.
Pioneer Iowa Educator Found Dead In
His Bed at His Home In GrlnneII.

y . u,
Grinnell, March l5.-Professor H. ].
Edison, one of the Oldest and best
known Of Iowa educators, died sudden
during Monday night He had been
in his usual health, went to bed COM
fortably and was found in the morn
ing by his wife, lifeless in his bed.
Though enfeebled by his advanced
age, his death was entirely unexpect-
ed and came with shock to the COM
munity where he has lived and taught
SO long. His last public appearance
was on February 6, when he spoke at
the Iowa college alumni banquet.
Prof. Edison was among the first as
he is among the last of the pioneer
Observation-Disclosures whose impress
upon Iowa can never be effaced. He
was born at Hadley, Massachusetts,
October S, 1922, and was thus SO years
of age at the time of his death. His
earlier education was received at Hop
kins academy in Hadley, and he was
graduated at Amherst college. From
Amherst he returned to Hopkins as
principal of the school, remaining five
years. Separating himself from school
work he had studied theology three
years when he was called to the prin.
cipalship of Denmark academy at Den
mark, la. He was the first principal
of the school. Indeed, himself and
wife were the only teachers in the
first year-1S52.
He held his position at Denmark
twenty-seven continuous years. Dur
ing that time he taught moro than
1900 students. Among those sent out
from Denmark to higher educational
life may be mentioned President G. K.
Adams, of Cornell, later Of the Univer-
sity Of wisconsin; Professor Henry G..
Adams, of Cornell, later Of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin,; Professor Henry
G. Adams, of the University OF Michi-
gan, and Professor O. f. Emerson, of
Western Reserve.
After severing his connection with
the Denmark school Professor Edison
spent year in Europe. In August,
1879, he came to Iowa college at Grin
nell as professor of theory and prac-
tice of teaching. He resigned In 1892
and has since not been actively en-
gagged. He leaves one child, Henry
S., student at Iowa college academy.

Roosevelt has intended all the time to

ocratic candidate.

fOr the last chance OF being saved.
They almost overloaded the small boat,
which returned to. the Mannheim in
safety Whether the Mannheim had
lowered other boats which had been
stove in was not known, although sur
vivors of the lost steamer say that this
happened.
Men Risk Death to Rescue.
All this time terrific sea was run
ming and it was almost like inviting
death TO lower boats. Despite this,
sailors Of the Bostonian We'd with
each other for places in the lifeboat
launched. First Officer William Brown
and the six men chosen had scarcely
left the Bostonian's side in the first
lifeboat when it was hurled back like
a cork and smashed against the steam
er's stern.
Even this did not daunt the Bos-
tonian's sailors When the crew of the
first boat had been rescued those who
were not too seriously hurt begged for
places in the second boat.
Llfeboat Crushed After Rescue.
A great cheer went up from the Bos-
tonian when at o'clock the starboard
lifeboat was successfully put out in
charge Of SECOND Officer Cromwell.
The steward and four sailors went
with him and the encouraging cheers
were kept up as the little crew strug-
gIed to reach the sinking steamer. This
they did and took off thirteen men, in
Guiding Captain OHagan, who was ten
Derby but hastily lowered by his men
BY means of line from the stern.
The return trip of the crowded life
boat was even more perilous Every
inch of the way 1t was in peril of foun-
dering. But the boat reached the Bos-
tonian in safety and the rescued men
| were taken aboard with the greatest
difficulty.
Then as the lifeboat was about to
leave the Bostonian again for second
trip to the wreck it was caught on the
crest of wave. thrown against the
ships sides, and smashed. Again the
crew of the Bostonian had to rescue
their own shipmates from death.
Cheer Brave German Sailors.
From the deck of the Bostonian the
heroic battle which the Mannheim vol.
unteers were making could be seen
plainly, and a great cheer was sent
across the tossing waters when the
! German sailors returned safely to their
ship with eleven Of the British Kings
crew.
Meanwhile the gale, instead of abat'
ing, increased in violence, and it was
impossible for either steamer to make
another attempt to reach the sinking
British King, on which there We're left
to die at least score of sailors.
Darkness Hides Final Tragedy.
Soon darkness fell and it was an
utter impossibility to do else but wait
for the moonlight to guide them. In
the darkness the British King, which
was then waterlogged and helpless
4 plunged to the bottom.
Five of the crew who had been
drawn down in the vortex into which
the British King was engulfed, were
picked up by the Bostonian from a frail
bit of wreckage which they had
grasped after desperate struggle fol
/ life in the whirlpool.
The rescued who were brought here
include James Flanagan, the second Of
ficer; ]. D. Crawford. the chief en-
gineer; Adolphus Beck, the fourth en-
/ gineer, and William J.. Curry, the stew

GOOD coLoRs FOR HoUsEa

It Is not generally known-not even
among painters-why certain tints and
colors wear much better than others
on houses, and the knowledge of just
what tints are best to use is, therefore,
rather hazy.
One writer on paint, In a recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist or
turn back the heat rays of the sun, will
protect house better than those
which allow these rays to pass through
the film.
Thus red is good color because it
turns back, or reflects, the red rays,
and the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, so far as wear is concerned. In
choosing the color of paint for your
house, select reds, browns, grays and
olives which, considering the various
tones these tints will produce, will
give a wide range from which to
choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows Oike lemon), cold greens Qike
grass green, etc.), and the blues.
1t must be understood that no virtue
Is claimed for tints in themselves, ir-
respective of the materials used In the
paint. Any color will fade, and the
paint will scale of. II adulterated
white lead or canned paint is used, but
II one Is careful to use the best white
lead-some well-known brand Of re-
liable manufacturer-and genuine lin
seed oil, the warm tints mentioned
above will outwear the same materials
tinted with the cold colors.
