There is nothing that better illus
trates this oldfsaying of much in lit

Mr.. Webb Of London a few years ago.
He invented a machine with which,
using tiny diamond point, he wrote
on glass the whole of the Lords Pray
er within a space measuring the two
hundred and ninety-fourth part Of an
inch In length by the four hundred
and fortieth Of an inch in breadth, or
about the size Of the dot Of the letter
q" in ordinary print A skillful op
orator Of that wonderful machine could
write the whole 3,566,4S0 letters of the
Old and New Testaments eight times
over within the space of one inch
square. When Mr.. Webb's inscription
of the Lords Prayer was enlarged by
photography, every letter and point
was perfect and could be read with
ease.-Chicago News.

SPIRIT OF THE WOODS.

Indian Tradition as to the Origin Of
Tobacco, Wheat and Corn.
Long years ago two Indian youths,
pursuing the pleasures Of the chase,
were led to a remote and unfrequented
part Of the forest, where, being IA
tigued and hungry, they sat down to
rest themselves and prepare food
While they were thus employed the
spirit OF the woods, attracted it is sup
posed by the unusual and savory smell
Of the venlson, approached them in
the form Of a beautiful female and
seated herself beside them. The
youths, being struck with gratitude
for the condescension which she had
shown them in becoming their guest,
presented her IN the most respectful
manner with a share Of their repast,
which she was pleased to accept with
seeming satisfaction.
The repast being finished, the spirit,
having thanked them cordially for
their attention and informed them that
II they would return to the same
place after the passing Of twelve
moons they would find something that
would recompense their kindness, dis
appeared from their sight.
The youths, having counted the
moons and having returned at the ap-
pointed time, found that upon the
place on which the right arm Of the
goddess had reclined an ear of Indian
corn had sprung up, from the place
where her left arm had been appeared
a stalk OF wheat, and from the spot
on which she had been seated was
growing a hourishing plant Of to-
bacco.

RATES
TO BE INCREASED

In view OF the formal announcement
that the presidents of the great East
ern trunk lines favor a general increase
in freight rates to make up for the de-
cline in revenues. it is generally be-
lieved that when these presidents meet
again 1t viii be to arrange such an in
crease.
Rates are to be advanced from 5 to
10 per cent. on special commodities as
follows, il is understood:
First class freight, 10 cents per 100
pounds; second class. cents; third
class, z cents; fourth class, 5 cents:
fifth class, 4 cents, and sixth class. 2
cents.
These increases. the railroads say
are not heavy. The traffic managers
in fact, insist that the consumer win
not feel them. But the increased reve-
nues which the railroads will get, If
they take the action contemplated, are
expected to net in the neighborhood of
$15O,000,000 a year. This estimate is
based on the fact that the freight earn
ings amounted to S1.600,O0O,OOO in 1906.

FIVE HUNDRED
LIVES IN PERIL
Steamers Collide in Fog On New
York Bay.
Ia BIG CATASTROPHE AvERTED.
A Panic Ensues on the Mount Desert
and a Stampede for Safety on
the Admiral Dewey - Levelheaded-
ness of Latter's Captain Prevents
Loss of Life.

Now York Especially. - The lives
of more than 500 persons we're i'm
periled Sunday when the fruit steam
er Admiral Dewey, inward bound
from Jamaica. crushed into the
steamer Mount Desert, outward
bound from Bay Ridge for the fish
Ing banks. The Admiral Dewey,
coming suddenly out of fog bank,
struck the Mount Desert almost
amidships, opening a cash in the
fishing vessel that extended from the
upper deck to the waters edge.
There were 450 passengers, includ-
ing 20 women and six children, on
the Mount Desert, and the Admiral
Dewey carried 45 passengers. In ad-
dition, there were the crews of the
two steamers.
Panic Immediately followed the
collision and It was due to the
prompt action of Captain Davidson,
of the Dewey, that a catastrophe was
averted, for the passengers on the
fishing steamer began piling over the
guard rails of that vessel and leaped
for the deck of the Admiral Dewey.
Had he backed his steamer away,
many would have fallen into the wa
ter. Captain Davidson kept the
steamer moving slowly ahead and
this held the prov of the fruit steam
er into the rent that had been made
and afforded a boarding-place for the
frightened passengers of the Mount
Desert.
Thus the two steamers moved slow
ly toward the east bank of the lower
bay. while a wild scene was taking
place on the decks. 1t was believed
the Mount Desert would sink and the
passengers fought frantically to get
to the deck of the Admiral Dewey.
A number of persons were slight
ly injured in the stampede. Men
and women crowded over the guard
rails onto the Admiral Dewey SO
rapidly that they tramped upon each
other.
In the space of Is minutes fully

SAYS man CAN

Student Of Longevity Asserts Spirit

Now York Especially. - Charles
Brodie Patterson. who has made a
special study OF longevity. told the
Medico-Legal Society at the Waldorf
Astoria that in his opinion, men
and women may be able to live for
ever. He supported his contention
by citing many authenticated cases
of long life and arguing that " 1t
is possible to increase the length of
life by 10 or 20 years, 1t Is possible
to increase II indefinitely.
There is" said Mr.. Patterson, "a
spirit of life which must be culti-
waited. Without paying the greatest
attention to this inner world 1t Is
impossible for lis to five indefinitely"

that she had received corroborative
proof OF the death of a man In Eng
land a few weeks ago at the age OF
1870 years, and that her investiga-
tions had convinced her that per-
sons who live with care may arrive
at almast any age they desire. Miss
Fowler continued that one trouble
with persons who set out to live
long lives is that they indulge in
stimulants.
