SCOTLAND. SOUTH DAKOTA

Or. Oerum, or the Frnsen institute,
at Copenhagen, has just carried out a
number Of experiments on the effect of
light on the blood. He has found that
darkness reduces the total o. of
blood by 3 to 3.3 per cent, while de-
icreasing at the same time the amount
of blood contained in the heart. Red
light has an effect like that OF dark
ness, while blue light is apt to result
in an excess of blood and an increase
in the amount contained by the heart.
Light baths are likely to increase the
of blood in the course of four
hours. Darkness will increase, and
Intensive light win reduce the blood
pressure. Animals born in the dark
or In red light have a greater weight,
but only half the amount of blood OF
those porn under normal conditions. I

NURSERYMEN SAY NEW
LAW KILLS THEIR BUSINESS


LAW KILLS THEIR BUSINESS
Sioux Falls. S. D., March 26.-Bitter,
complaints in reference to the provi-i
sions of a new law enacted by the re-
cent legislature relating to the nursery
business in the state are made by,
nurserymen.
The manager of n of the largest
nurseries in the state his
company will not attempt to continue
business under the new law. Among
other things the new law provides that
every company, individual, or firm car
rying on a nursery business in South
Dakota must file a bond in the SUM of
$4,000. and that the proprietor or head
Of each nursery concern must pay a
license Of $40, with a small foe for each
agent. /,
The principal objection to the new
law is to that clause which provides
that when a contract is taken it must
be specified in black and white just
where each tree, shrub, plant or vine
ordered is grown. The n~urserymen de1
clare emphatically that it is utterly
impossible to fill this requirement.
1t is charged by some of the nursery
men that the new law was enacted in
the interest Of nurseries located in 9TH
er states which do business in South
Dakota by means of catalogues, and
which, because they do not sell by
agent" are not affected by the provi-,
sionS OF the new law. !

NARROWED
ON A SANDBAR AND
WATERS RISING FAST

Sioux Falls, S. D., March Ma
rooned on a sandbar in the middle OF,
the Missouri river, with the swift low
ing waters steadily rising and threaten
ing to engulf them, was the thrilling
experience of Colonel John Emmke, one,

in this city, and William S. Doty, Of
piphany two of the best known men
in this portion of the state, while hunt
ing wild geese on the Missouri river.

men in addition to the two mentioned.
Two of the hunters were stationed on
one sandbar, two on another. while
Colonel Emmke and Doty, with a farm
err lad, who acted as boatman for them,
were sent to a third bar further down
the river.
Emmke and Doty shot a couple OF
geese which fell into the river some
little distance away from the bar and
the farmer lad was sent with the boat
to secure them. Doty and nm were
devoting their entire attention to the
flight of other f1ocks Of wild geese and
paid no further attention to the farm
er boy. Finally when it was we'll to-
ward night they o about for the
farmer lad. He was Nowhere in sight.
They were becoming numbed with the
cold, and, to their great alarm, also
discovered thai the water was rising
on the little sandbar making their posi-
ton decidedly perilous, as well as;
nightly uncomfortable.
n other four members of the party,
before the afternoon was well advanced
had returned to shore and were costly
seated about the supper table in the
chamberlain hotel when the farmer lad
who had charge of Doty and Emmke's
boat, rushed into the dining room. He
was crying and in a half frozen con-
dition. Greatly alarmed at the pos
sib1lity that he brought bad news Of
Emmke and Doty, the other four hunt
ers surrounded him and piled him with
questions as to what had become Of
their two companions. The boy In
formed them of his starting after two
geese shot early in the afternoon by
Doty n Emnke. and of his boat be-
ing carried by drifting ice and the
wind a distance of three miles down
the river before he Gould reach shore.
The lad stated that he spent some
time vainly endeavoring to get the boat
back. The -four hunters, with the boy,
hastened to the river. 1t was growing
dusk, but they could dimly discern
Doty and Ilmmke wildly running up
and down the few feet Of sandbar
which yet remained above the surface,
of the river. The marooned hunters
had tied a handkerchief to a long stick.
which they waved in the air in the
hope of attracting attention.
1t was after dark before the be-
numbed hunters could be got ashore.
