Oxygen has become the almost uni
versal remedy in cases Of poisoning by
gas. such as coal gas, acetylene, foul
air from sewers, after-damp of mines.
ETC., but its application is sometimes
a dificult matter for the inexperienced
bystander. A new apparatus by DR..
Brat, made in Westphalia, is designed
to clear the lungs and act more or less
automatically in giving artificial res
piration. The portable form consists
of a fair-sized oxygen cylinder, a chest
containing a small air-pump, levers
and other parts. and the usual face
mask for the patient. When able to
do SO. the patient breathes the oxygen
without help. If necessary. the attend
ant gives q rhythmical motion to the
pump valve and the liberated oxygen
actuates the pump, withdrawing air
from the lungs. Respiration is thus
re-started or supported.

American Astronomers.

When Lord Kelvin died the world
showed that its imagination had been
seized by the quality of the man and
by something In his work deeper than
technical achievement and larger than
q mere list of scientific discoveries
That quality and that deeper signih
canoe were the mans imagination, his
scientific projections Of thought into
the unknown. 1t was suggested at the
time that the American man of science
and letters is deficient In courage.
imaginative sweep, the power to make
large correlations. Whether or moi
this is true in general, there is ont
branch of science in which the Amcri
can has shown daring and largeness OF
vision-astronomy. We, the 'pract-
cal' people, are assiduous star-gazers,
independent and constructive. The
work of the late Prof. c. A. Young, OF
Rowland and s. P. Langley in solar
chemistry, the audacious conclusions
of Prof. Percival Lowell from surface
markings on the planet Mars, and the
varied labors of the Pickerings and
Prof. Simon Newcomb-not to men
ton many other workers in this field
make an important contribution TO
imaginative science. No other mani
festation of the theoretical mind exists
in this country amid such happy con-
ditions. The Youths Companion sug-
gests that the clearness of our air has
no doubt encouraged observation. The
most remarkable progress In the
manufacture of large lenses during
the last SO years was made by the
Clarks of Cambridge, and their sue
cess is at once the cause and the re-
suit of the fact that there are nearly
as many large instruments in the
United States as In all the rest of the
world. Draper, Lick, Yerkes and other
rich men have put into the hands OF
astronomy a magnificent equipment
In this one subject, at least. circum
stance and spirit have Joined to pro
mote the searchings of imaginative
science.

The Ship tavern at Greenwich, one
Of the most famous of London's river
side inns, has closed its doors after an
existence extending back to the days
of the great English statesman. Will
liam Pitt. 1t was at the Ship tavern
that Pitt instituted the famous min
isterial whitehall dinners" during his
term of 16 years as a member OF the
ministry. In the days when Green
wfch was a fashionable riverside re-
sort the Ship tavern became known
all over the world. 1t was when VIII
liam Pitt was prime minister. 12O
years ago. that he introduced the GUS
tom of yearly gathering. at the close
of the parliamentary session. OF the
cabinet ministers, the judges OF the
high court, and other members OF the
government to partake of banquet
at the Ship tavern, Greenwich, known
as the ministerial whitehall dinner
Its feature was whitehall. for which
delicacy Greenwich is famous. Tho
ministerial whitehall dinner at the
Ship tavern was continued regularly
from the time 1t was instituted by Pit
until $780, From that time the Gus
tom was not observed regularly, and
ten years ago it fell into entire dis
use.

The retirement of John Mitchell
from the presidency Of the United
Mine Workers of America, because OF
I'll health, will be matter of regret to
many persons besides the members OF
the organization which he has so ably

a model leader of men. His services

THOMAS W. THOMAS TUBERCULOSIS
 VICTIM

Thomas w. Thomas, superintendent of the United Verde mines at Jerome died yesterday morning few minute. after midnight at his home in iha, place, after lingering illness of three years, due to consumption. He was at tackled at midnight by a hemorrhage death ensuing almost imedistcly after. wards. He had been SO weak the last four weeks that he was unable to make his usual daily visits through the mine, but attended to his other duties in connection with its active manage ment until four days ago.
 Mir. Thomas was aged 10 years and a native of Cornwall England Sur. viving he leaves wife and three children of tender years. He emigrat. ed from his native land many years ago, going to Montana, where he engag. ed in his chosen occupation, mining His unusual ability soon attracted the attention of the Montanan mine man. agers and he was advanced step by step until he reached the position of superintendent. He came tO Jerome eleven years ago and took charge of n shift in the United Verde mine. and soon afterwards was made superinten. dent of underground operations, filling the position ever since to the satisfac- ton of the management, although his health has been gradually failing the last three years. Two brothers are now shift bosses in the mine, having served under his management the las, few years.
 The remains of Mir. Thomas will be laid to rest in the Cottonwood ceme tery by the side of his sister, wno died year ago. His death is generally re- gretted by all who were associated or had business dealings with him. He was always honorable in his relations with his fellow man, the management of the concern whose operations he direct ed. and the men employed under nim.

cording to the statement of Attorney Jones, is that Mrs England placed sttychnine in the whiskey given her husband after lIolz retired for the night. She strcnuously denies the charge. Sne admitted to the officers before her arrest that she had given all the whiskey to England that he had drank during the evening and night with the exception of perhaps one drink which he may nave taken when he arose from bed once during the early part of the night before being stricken ill.
 Mrs. England was a widow when she married England about six years ago. Residents of Flagstaff and vicinity say that her former husband also died rather suddenly. It has been suggest. cd to the prosecuting officers of Coco. nino county that the former husband 's remains be exnumcd and examined by a chemist with a view of establishing the cause of his death.

Main Witness In Trial Of Mrs. England For
 Killing Husband
fFrom Saturdays Daily)

Claiming through his attorney, !. F. Jones, that he is being held in the Co. eonino county jail under an excessive bond, Charles Holz was brought here last night from Flagstaff by Sherifl Francis of coconino county, to have 2 hearing in the district court today un. der habeas corpus proceedings. Holz who IS witness for the territory against Mrs. Barbara England, charged with poisoning her husband, was order. cd held in custody under $5,000 bonds at the preliminary examination of Mrs. England. July 9. The Flagstaff justice of the peace and the district attorney s office fear that Holz will leave the country or he spirited away before Mrs. EnglaDd's case comes before the next grand jury, if allowed his liberty.
 Assistant District Attorney Thomas A. Flynn of Coconino county also ar. rived last night from Flagstaff Co rep. resent the territory in the habeas cor. pus proceedings. Mrs. England was TO. leased under sl0,0O0 bonds after her Pfelhihhry examination.
 William England's mysterious deat a on the morning of May 3l is still fresh in the memory of residents of Coco nino county. He was stone cutter by occupation, working in Flagstaff the greater part of his time. His wife re. sided at ranch belonging to them at the foot of the San Francisco noun. tains. fifteen miles north of Flagstaff. Decoration day of this year, Mrs. Eng land came to Flagstaff and accompa. ned her husband to the ranch that eve. ming. On their arrival at the ranch, iolz, who was employed there as a farm hand, joined the Englands and partook of drink of whiskey at the invitation of Mrs. England. After un. hitching the team he returned to his work, calling again at the house at 6 o'clock for supper. He retired about Q o'clock and was called in the morn. ing al 2 o'clock by Mrs. England, who asked him to hitch the team, stating that her husband was very i'll. Holz noticed that England was breathing with difficulty, and showing almost un. mistakablc signs of strychninc poison ing. A bed was made in the wagon and England was placed in it and the ride to Flagstaff begun. Two miles from the ranch, England died, Mrs. England ond llolz returning with the body to the ranch.
 An inquest was neld over the re- mains the following day. The stomach was removed from the body and exam ined by chemist who found traces of strychnine in it. Strychnine was also found in the house and its presence was also detected in the whiskey re. mainng in the bottle. England's liver was later removed and examined by the chemist who detected the presence of strychnine in it. Mrs. England's ar. rest followed.
