MANY LIVES LOST
In the Flood When F;ieh Waters Were
Lashed BY Fierce Winds.

B0onville, Ind, Jan. 2l.-Conditions
equal to those OF the famous food of
1854 now exist In Southern Indiana
Northern Kentucky and part OF Hi
uois. Aided b. terrific gale, high
waters of the Ohio EVER claimed hun
dreds OF small launches and boats as
victims and 1t is estimated damage
already done will reach far aboyG.the
million dollar mark. So far five per.
sons are known to have lost their
lives in the raging waters. but as
soon as telephone and telegraph con
neeions can be secured il Is believed
that the death list will go soaring.
Indiana towns which are high and
dry are caring for the refugees. At
Rockport more than fifty half starved
families are being cared for. They
were rescued from their maroon ed
lofts along the kentucky shore by
Rockport ferryboats, Many rescued
families were found living with chick
ems and hogs IN the upper story OF
homes.
More than 300 persons are being
cared for at Evansville.
Mayor John w. Rochne has issued
a call for funds with which TO aid
the homeless. Tell City. Ind, is in
the greatest trouble Of any river city
IN Indiana. The water is higher there
than at any other point. The food
extends TWO blocks from The Ohio
river bank and is two feet in depth

Many Homes in Danger.
Many homes are in danger al
though the occupants have already
left. All the house boats which were
moored along the bank near the Nor

Lifting Boats in Cradles.

| The lock on a canal is usually the
most expensive part of the construc-
tion, requiring, as it does, deep and
heavy foundations, protecting side
walls and constant supervision end
inspection to guard against leaks af-
ter It has been opened. The use of
the inclined plane is old and has
been widely used both in this coun-
airy and abroad with success and sat
isfaction. The advantages of the in
clined plane are that heights may be
overcome that would be impracti-
cable with single locks, so that the
whole drop may be constructed at a
single point.
A fine example of this has recent
ly been installed at Paxton on the
Grand Junction canal in Leicester
shire, England, where a single in
twelve locks. The other advantages
are that boats may be raised and
lowered by an expenditure of only
about 10 per cent of the water re-
quired for locks, and that there is
great saving in time and operation.
In this instance a boat may be put
fro one level to the next in fifteen
minutes, while one and a quarter
hours would be required with locks,
and three men are able to do the
work
There are two basins at the in.
cline; one at the top and the other
at the bottom, where every facility
is provided for passing the boats
from one level to another, and these
are twenty-five feet apart.
The cars or cradles are run upon
the rails, one of which is going up
while the other is going down, the
connection between them being made
with cables. The machinery driving
the cables and the drums over which
they pass are set upon solid mason
ry at the head of the incline. The
cradles are really large tanks into
which the boats are noated, and as
both are filled the weight of one bal
ances that of the other, with the re-
suit that the minimum amount of
power is required to effect the move
ment Boats of fifty-three tons can
be accommodated, and these can be
handled at the rate of from fourteen
TO sixteen an hour.-Technica World

Stops Work for a Robin.

Construction>work that was being
rushed on a new residence over In
Goodwin avenue has stopped sudden
ly and peace has come TO a pair of
timid robins that have futtered
heartbrokenly about the heads of
the workmen since the tiny blue eggs
came into being In their nest few
days ago.
Early in the spring the robins built
their nest in the niche of an unfinish-
ed window and started housekeep-
ing. They made no fuss about 1t and

Odd Facts About Tobacco.

growth of the industry lard is now thrown

Hypnotism and Sleep.

"Hypnotlsm Is being used more
and more by physicians in the treat
ment OF nervous Affections where
sleep must be enforced or where a
suggestion must be deeply implant-
ed In the mind TO induce resistance
against bad habits or to replace
morbid ideas, sane or insane" Thus
writes j. Elfreth Watkins in the
Technical World Magazine for May.
Having induced the hypnotic sleep,
the neurologist's path is bare OF inn
pediments, but unless the subject is
sensitive the latter resists sleep
during his early treatments.
I'm such cases il is the fayorite
trick OF the hypnotist to assert very
positively that sleep is fast approach
ing TO be using meanwhile artificial
aids, producing the external symp-
toms of sleep-eye fatigue and
heaviness of the eyelids. Feeling an
increase of these symptoms-whose
real cause he does not understand
the subject, IL a stubborn one, un-
consciously gains confidence In the
hypnotist's ability TO make him sleep
and finally yields TO him. To aid the
nerve specialist in producing these
external symptoms with the least
possible expenditure of effort and
time, various ingenious mechanical
devices have been invented in recent
years"

SMITHSONIAN SECRET ARY
Position of Attraction to All Scient-
lists Passed by and University
President viii Remain With His
Plans for Greater ana Setter Wis.
consin Institution.
Madison. Ian. Is.

Madison, Jan. Is.
Dr. Charles II. Van Hise, president
OF the University Of Wisconsin,
chooses to remain at his work in
Madison rather than accept the secre-
taryship of the Smithsonian Insutu-
ton at Washington, d, c. This tact
is presented, modesuy yelled, in a
brief statement issued yesterday from
the university press bureau:
In response to a letter to Prest-
dent Charles Il. Van Hise of the I'M
versity of Wisconsin from James b.
Angel, regent of the Smithsonian In
siution, in reference to the position
| OF secretary, President Van Hise has
/ roolied asking President Angel not
to present his name to the regents
for consideration for that position
From other sources it Is learned
that the position was up to" Presi.
dent Van Hise, and all that was neces-
sary was for him to say that he would
accept it if elected. The secretary
ship of the Smithsonian Institution
is recognized as a position to which
any great scientist may well aspire as
The pinnacle of his career. The place
must have been tempting to the Wis.
Consin president for his mind runs
along lines scientific, and the Wash
ingtou position offers exceptional Op.
portunitics for scientific experimental
| ton and investigation. The matter
of salary hardly entered into the stu
alton, for the pay at Smithsonian is
only a little more than that now re
c2iyed by the university president.
Ii was the desire to complete plans
for the Improvement and development
of the university that prevailed
against the attractive power of the
eastern pace While some of the
friends of President Van Hise were
! of the opinion that rie ought to nc.
cept the new opportunity believing
| that there his ability as a scientist
would have free reign rather than be
| confined and crowded by the great
| burden Of administrative duties in
cumbent upon the president of the
university the fact that he has finally
and definitely determined to remain
at his post here is a source Of graft
iicaton generally to the university
and town Particularly pleased are
the members of the faculty. who
believe that his great work for the uni
rersity and his plans for the future
demand his continued presence here
and that no other man could be
placed ut the head of the institution
at this time without some impairment
of the institutions progress.
