NECK DIsLoCATED 35 YEARS

The fact that Senator Money of Miss
lssIppi, passed through life for 35 years
with dislocated neck and did not know
it, became known to some of his asso-
ciates this week, and created general
astonlshment. The condition was dis.
covered when the Senator began to take
treatment for neuralgia.
At the first battle of Franklin, in April
1868, the future Senator was a cavalry
man in the Confederate service. While
riding through the streets be was struck
by bullet that circled around his ribs,
doing ne other injury. The shock was
such that he was thrown from his horse
and struck on his head.
Years passed and he entered the Senate.
Neuralgia bothered him. When told
that his neck had been broken he denied
all knowledge of such an affliction. The
physicians declared that one bone pushed
from the top of the column supporting
the head was i'll wrong position.
The doctor took hold of the misplaced
vertebrae with both hands and snapped
it into proper position, and the neck
afterward became as strong as it was So
years before the operation.

WANT FASTER TRAIN SERVICE

Business men in every part OF the State
are signing petitions PRAY ing for better
service from the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. The petitions do not ask for
additional trains on the Delaware divi-
sion. What is desired is a more rapid
schedule, a quicker service that will
enable the people to travel up and down
the State is less time than is now required.
To do this it is believed there should be a
certain number of express trains in SER
vice, trains that will not make all the
stops the trains now make.
The petitions will ask that the long
stops at the smaller towns be eliminated;
that the Commute waits at points where
the branch roads connect with the main
line be made shorter. and that the branch
roads maintain better and more regular
schedule. It is claimed that at terminal
points where the branch roads connect
there are long and unnecessary stops,
which, if eliminated, would greatly facili-
tate the service. 1t is also asserted that
trains could be run without stopping at
every small station along the line, and
that the larger towns could be made the
stopping points by the express trains to a
good advantage.

CAN SEE THE STOMACH

The problem of direct observation OF
the interior of the human stomach during
life has been solved by Pittsburg
scientist, and the method is being en-
ployed at Baltimore hospital. A double
silver tube is passed through the esopha.
gus to the stomach, the inner tube being
fitted with small electric bulb. Water
is passed by means of subsidiary attach
ment through the outer tube, filling the
stomach. The light is turned on, per-
mitting the closest observation of the
movements OF the stomach. The tube
has been found to be of invaluable use in
studying cancers Of the stomach and other
internal maladies, which have until re-
Gently been grappled with in the dark.
At the Baltimore hospital it is used
mostly in cases of bronchial and throat
diseases. The surgeon can place the
tube down the throat and thoroughly
examine the larynx and in few cases
pennies that children have swallowed and
false teeth that men and women have let
slip down their throats have been recov-
cred by the use Of tweezers while the tube
lighted tie parts where the distractions
were so that the surgeon could get them
out All the lining of the stomach and
the other organs can be seen through the
tube with the naked eye, and many per-
sons who have a great fear of operations
will no doubt welcome the discovery.

FLAGS 1887 BIRTHDAY

Flag Day, the observance of the l3lst
anniversary of the adoption of the Stars
and Strips as the national flag of the
United States, will be celebrated on
Monday, June 18th. The actual anni-
versary occurs on Sunday, June 14th,
when flags are displayed throughout
every city in the Union. The obsery-
ance of Fas Day has increased steadily
within the past few years and this In
terest is stimulated by the American Flag
Association, society organized for the
purpose of honoring the flag and pre-
serving it from desecration. S..
1t was on June 14th, ITS, that Con-
gress enacted 'That the flag of the l3
United States be Is stripes, alternate red
and white; that the Union be Is stars,
white in blue field, representing a new
constellation" The number of the stripes
having been increased by the admission
of new States, the possibilities of the
nations future development dawned on
the founders and the 13 original stripes
were unchangeably restored by another
act of Congress which enacted that each
new State admitted should be represented
by the addition of another star to the
union of the flag.
The salute to the flag is now a daily
part of the program of nearly every school
in the country, when at given signal
the pupils arise and recite the pledge Of
allegiance to the country or silently raise
the right hand in military salute. Flag
Day is observed by appropriate exercises
treating on the history and origin of the
banner which now represents the might
lest nation of the earth.

DELAWARE WEALTH OF ROCKS

MANY years ago, when the LeWes
Breakwater was first built, much oil the
stone used for that purpose was taken from
this county. II was quarried from the
great pile Of rocks on which the o"eoes
landed here many years ago and on top
of which they built their fort, winch
later Withstood for a few days the assaui's
of the Dutch and was captured with Du'
a single drop of blood being lost. A lew
years ago when the Breakwater was e1-
tended the bulk of the stone USED was
taken from the Bellevue quarries, short
distance above Wilmington. where the
supply of Brandywine hundred rock Is
almost inexhaustibe.
Now there is to be built stone Jetty
at Cape May and the report IS that 'he
Bellevue quarries will be called upon 10
provide the necessary material. Della
ware has certainly done its share toward
providing stone for public improvements,
and the rocks of B andywine hundred
have proved a source of revenue for
long time. Tue quarries in and close to
Wilmington have turned out thousands
of tons of stone for all sorts OF purposes,
and no better rock for heavy work can
be found anywhere. Delaware Is not
rich in minerals, but it is rich In nne
stone, and the money that has come into
the state through the workings OF the
great quarries has amounted to hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
Stone of magnificent quality is to be
had for the blasting and the quarrles
have provided work for hundreds OF men
for many years. New Jersey is now
calling upon Delaware for stone and New
Jersey in turn has been furnishing SAND
for Delaware. On one side OF the Della
ware river at this point can be found
enough stone to meet demands for
century or two more, while on the other
side of the river is enough sand to supply
the world. But Delaware has the better
supply, and the quarry business OF the
upper end of this state is one OF the most
substantial industries. Nature has sup
piled the stock and it is only for man
to shatter the rocks and to shipit where
it can be used and where stone is not to
be had.

BEFORE IT Is TOO LATE

If YOU have a gray-haired mother,
And from home you are away,
Sit down and write the letter
You put off day by day
Don't wait until her tired steps
Reach heavens pearly gate,
But show her that you think Of her
Before it is too late.
II you've tender message,
Or loving word to say,
Don't wait till you forget it,
But whisper it to-day
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you, if you waltz
So make your loved ones happy
Before it is too late.
The tender word unspoken,
The letter never sent,
The long-forgotten messages,
The wealth of love unspent-
For these some hearts are breaking
For these some loved ones wait;
So show them that you care for them
Before it is too late.

HEIGHT OF LAND, DEPTH OF SEA

The mean height of all the land now
above the sea is referred to by Lyell as
being 1000 feet. The mean depth of the
ocean is at least $4,000 feet, that is, it
exceeds the height of the land twelve
times.
This is because the extreme heights OF
the land, although probably no less than
the extreme depths of the sea, yet are
exceptional heights, while the ocean
maintains its depth over enormous areas.
Owing to the fact that the surface OF
the ocean to that of the land is as two
and half to one the ocean would accom-
modate the whole of land thirty times
over were it all pitched into the ocean
area.
