For the first time in the history of
 the navy there has been a hunger strike" This sounds like Russia
 where the jail prisoners sometimes
 indulge in this sort of a demonstra- tion, says one writer. But in the present instance, it is among the cadets of the training ship Enterprise at New London. A'lot of the cadets went ashore on liberty and while there they drew up round robin and sent it to the commander on board complaining of the fare that was served them and of some minor mat ters of discipline. There was no mo- tice taken of their protest and they sent two of their number out to the ship in a small boat to see what was being done. The commander curtly sent them word that they could stay on the shore or come back to the ship just as they had a mind, but the most of them seemed to think that coming back would mean their ar rest and no good done by the strike, so they stayed on shore all night It is fairly possible that the navy de- partment may look very unfavorably on this breach of discipline and there may be some more vacancies in the academy before the classes reas- semble for their winter studies.

Uric acid is a deadly poison that is produced in the human body. and 1t ls the duty of the kidneys to collect this poison from the blood, and to pass 1t safely out of the system, to- Eether with all waste water.
 It is the presence in the body of sn excess of uric acid that causes so much pain and suffering. and D many of the aches that are commonly attributed to rheumatism.
 The kidneys are bean-shaped or gans. composed of masses of little tubes. all of which pour their secre- lions into a main channel that leads Co the bladder. Tn this way the kid neys pass of more than an ounce of poison every day when in health. But it does not take much to set the kidneys back. and when they get behind. they can not right themselves without help. The uric acid begins to clog the kidneys. causing that dull. heavy aching in the back. and sharp tvinges when stooping or lifting. It erystallizes In the muscles and joints. and every turn or twist brings keen est torture 1t attacks the nerves with neuralgia and sciatica. It brings headache. dizziness. languor, and dis orders of the urine.

 with Assistant Secretary of State
 Robert Bacon. one time partner in

 It is a very safe guess that this de- cade will never see a war between the United States and Japan. The American people were never more peacefully inclined and Japan bur dened with the debts of one war is not likely to enter upon contest

 The Pennsylvania railroad mana gers evidently attribute the worst ac- cident they have had during the past year to the use of steel ties on the sharp curve at Mineral Font.

 Important action is not necessarily noisy.

An appeal has been made to the president and he is carefully consid- ering it, for the investigation of the two big telegraph companies with a view to government ownership under the postoffice department or else close government supervision on the same basis that the railroads are now overlooked by the interstate com merce commission, says a Washing ton writer. The telegraph is as much part of modern business life as is the postoffice. It is more of a public service corporation than any other institution in the country ex- cept the railroads. Considering the immense dividends paid by the com mercial telegraph companies even on their heavily watered stock, it is cer- tain that the public should be given telegraph service by the government at something approaching the pre- sent postal rates. and still leave a margin for profit and depreciation. Government ownership may not be desirable, but as the present strife keeps up between the operators and the companies, there is a fair possi- bility that the telegraph may be talk en over by the government as meas ure of public protection. One does not hear of strikes in the postal ser- vice and their eliminaton would be a great thing for the business public.

Representative Abner P. Hayes lined up against the eight hour day in Hartford yesterday to the surprise of many of his friends. All through the session he has been held up as a friend of humanity in hospital and other charitable work, but it is evi. dent that the shorter day for the man who tolls finds no sympathy with him. Representative Goodrich, how ever, was found on the other side.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines it's duration, seems to be
between SO and so; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot be
too strongly urged; carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Natures best

yes every organ of the body. Guaran-

PETRIFIED WOOD
FROM MORSE SHIP
FOUND IN HERE FORD GRAVEL
PIT.
Additional Evidence that the NOrSe-
men Explored Lake Agassiz, Which
is Now the Red River Valley.

Grant County Herald:-A petrifed
piece of wood is on exhibition at the
Herald Office. Knute K. Lee, of the
town of Erdahl, found it some six
yea RS ago and has kept it and showed
it to his neighbors and visitors as a
curiosity, but he did not connect the
find with anything of historical i'm
portance. When, however he read
about the anchor, which was lately
found in Polk county, he thought of
his find in new light, and believes
that it is a relic of the early explorers
of North America.
The petrifed piece of wood has two
iron nails in it. One of the nails is
wholly consumed by rust, 80 it has
left hole through the rock; the other
nail is still there; there are also indi-
cations of a third nail at the very end
of the block by groove looking as
though made by a nail. .-.. 49,
The remarkable piece of rock was
picked up by Mr.. Lee on the railroad
track of the Great Northern Evans
vile & Tintah branch, where it eros
ses his farm. 1t had evidently been
brought to the place with the gravel
forming the roadbed. At this time
when the piece of rock was found, the
section foreman, Mr.. Goulden, in
formed Mr.. Lee that the gravel came
from the Hereford gravel pit nine
miles west of Elbow Lake.
The gravel pit is where the railway
cuts thru the ridge known to geolo-
gists as the east shore of the now
dried up Lake Agassiz.
This ridge is quite distinct, and ex-
tends north into Canada. 1t forms the
eastern boundary of the fat land OF
the Red River Valley, which once was
the bottom of Lake Agassiz. When
the lake dried up is not definitely
known, but the Red River is described
by biologists as "young" meaning
that it has not existed very long as
compared to other rivers.
The petrified piece of wood found
by Mr.. Lee speaks most eloquently of
the time that has passed since it
was shaped by the hand of man. 1t
has probably formed part of a ship.
And the anchor lately found at a
depth of Ave feet imbedded in clay in
Polk county is likewise message
from the sailors of long ago. It seems
more probable that people who knew
the use of iron have sailed on Lake
Agassiz.
And this calls to mind some seven
years ago man in Douglas county
found a stone with an inscription on 1t
in the old Morse language written with
runes. The stone was sent to the I'm
iversity of Minnesota, but it's age was
doubted chiefly because it spoke OF
three days. marches from the landing
place of the ship. 1t is not more than
a journey of three days from the shore
of Lake Agassiz to the place where
the stone was found, so this argument
against the genuineness of the inscrip-
ton may have little weight. 1t may
be found correct. It may we'll be that
the Norsemen have sailed on Lake
Agassiz
