The cinematograph has demonstrated
its usefulness to the science Of medi-
cine In more ways than one. DR.. w.
G. Chase of Edinburgh used it TO pro-
cure films illustrating the convulsions
accompanying an epileptic fit. The
thoroughness with which the subject
has been pursued may be judged from
the statement that the films exhibiting
eplleptic seizures measure 1850 feet
and contain nearly $4,000 minute pic

commissions The value of such records
lies mainly in using them to instruct
medical students so that they may rec

OF barbed wire. 1t came about by
accident.
Isaac l.. Ellwood was the inventor
OF barbed wire In his youth he
lived in De Kalb, H., and having q
neighbor whose pigs trespassed ON his

fence of his own make. This fence
mad barbs and points on it, il was
queer and ugly; but it kept out the
pigs.
1T was real barbed wire fence
the first in the world, and there was
millions OF money in it, but young Ell
wood and his friends laughed at its
freak appearance
one day two strangers saw the
fence, perceiying how well il kent out
the pigs, realized how cheap il was
realized, in word. IFS value. and or.
defed several tons of it from Ellwood
Furthermore, they contracted 10 cell

Obituary.

George n. Covert was born in Seneca
Co., N. T., Nov. 4, 1886, and died July
l6, 90z, in Beding, at the age Of 20
years. 8 months and IL days.
While mere child he moved with his
parents from Seneca to western New
York in Orleans county, where he lived
until he was eight years old. In 1914 he
came to Michigan with his parents. their
route being by canal boat to Buffalo
from Buffalo to Detroit by steamer, thence
by the overland route through the wilder
ness of eastern Michigan to Ionia, and
they settled on farm in the township OF
Keene.
Nov. %, 1861, he was united in mar
riage to Percis Howe of Keene. Most OF
the time for thlrty-five years he lived on
the farm in Keene. He then moved west
and lived two years in Dakota. Deciding
to come back to Michigan he bought a
farm in Montcalm county near Stanton,
where he lived twenty-five years. In
! 904 he moved to Beldlng where he has
since resided.
Three years ago he suffered the loss Of
his wife, over which he has grieved con-
tinually. His only desire was to 90 and
meet her in the better land His decline
in health began at her death and during
his last sickness the thought of her was
uPpermost in his mind and he did not
want to get well.
To them were born three boys and two
girls, two of whom are living, Mrs. Imo-
gene Vannocker of Six Lakes and Edgar
J. Covert of Bedding. with whom he lived.
Besides his children he leaves four broth
ers and three sisters between the ages Of
sixty-six and ninety-two years, Peter B.,
Of Carlton Center, Barry county; Mrs. W.
M. Sparks Of Keene, Mrs. James Beattie
of Saranac. B. R. Covert of Ionia, Mrs.
E. J. Gibson of Detroit, William Covert of
Belding and J. E. Covert of Seattle,
Wash.
We are left on this side weeping,
Ger the loss we now sustain,
We shall miss him, Oh, so sadly!
Yet our loss is his great gain.
We shall miss him at the freside,
We shall miss him everywhere;
In the morning and at twilight
There will be one vacant chair.
