His Enemy Fights Fair.

According to officials of the Carne

case that has been investigated by the
commission was that of Rufus K
Combs of Midway, KY, who wa!
;ranted a silver medal and 5 1900 II
ash by the commission recently
Combs saved the life of his bitter en-
emy and political rival. Richard God
on, a lawyer and inventor.
GOdsOn had entered a vault to tesi

come by the fumes.
Friends and relatives were afraid tc
enter the vault. When he declared
his intention of going in Combs was
pulled back and told that Godson was
dead, and that he would surely lose
his own life if he attempted to recover
the body.
There may be some life In him.
declared Combs as he pulled away and
entered the vault. He carried his en-
envy to the door of the vault and then
FELL unconscious. Both men recov
cred and are now the stanchest Of
friends.
Asked why he had risked his life
for his most bitter enemy, Combs re

INDIAN OCEAN IS UNKNOWN.
Suez Canal and Steamers Leave Un'
~traversed Wastes In This Sea.

Percbance OF no area OF our great
oceans do we at the present day know
less than of the Indian ocean within
the tropics, says the Geographical
Journal. Fifty years ago, in the days
before the great China and Indian clip
pers it was, save for a small area to
the north Of Madagascar, alive with
white wings anxious to take advantage
Of every slant of wind or the smallest
current. It's minutest characteristics
were then the subject of anxious study,
whereas now it's greater part Is to
most navigatOrs an unknown sea.
With the opening of the Suez canal
there was a profound alteration Of
trade, and the most important routes
now start not from Mauritius or the
cape but from the Red sea. Hundreds
Of steamers, laughing at winds and
currents, pass annually from Alden to
Bombay and Colombo on the one hand
and to East African ports, Madagascar.
Nauritius and Seychelles on the other.
From Colombo, again, there are regu-
lar lines to Calcutta, Singapore, West
Australia, Mauritius and South Africa.
But except On the lines from the
Red sea to Colombo and from the lat
ter to the far east and to Australia
there is a relative absence of compe-
tition, a want of that necessity for
accurate knowledge of the winds. III

across her surface are also wide apart
and her islands are commercially unim-
