After the recent discovery OF a new
rubber plant in Cochin-China comes
the discovery in Brazil OF new family
group of plant which promises to be-
come valuable source of rubber. the
demand for which for many purposes is
constantly increasing. A report OF the

Bismarck Memorial.

The Walhalla at Regensburg which
contains the statues of many men
who have contributed to the greatness
of the German people, will receive an
addition next Jaly in the form of a
Bismarck memorial. In his order to
the Kulturminister directing the addi-
tion, the prince regent of Bavaria says
that the step would have been taken
sooner but for the rule which pre-.
cludes such recognition until ten
years after the death of the great one.
The Bismarck memorial will be un.
veiled on the tenth am iversary Of his
death.

Heavenly City.

Berlin is said to be the quietest city
in Europe. Railway engines are not
allowed to blow their whistles within
the city limits. There is no loud bawl-
ing Of hucksters, and man whose
wagon gearing is loose and rafting is
subject to fine. The courts have a
large discretion as to fines for noise
making. Strangest Of all. piano play
ing is regulated in Berlin. Before a
certain hour In the day. and after
certain hour in the night the piano
must be silent in that musical city.
Even during the playing hours a fine
is imposed for mere pounding on the

Within recent months there have
sells belonging to several nations. Al
though the, have been due to a va
rtety of differing causes, they may be
divided. broadly speaking, into two
classes: due to errors in maneuver-
ing, resulting in collisions, and those
due to explosions in the ammunition
stores.
Naval officers say that such acci-
dents are merely so many manifesto
tons of fate; that sailor takes
chances when he goes to sea, and that
once in while he is bound to have
chance against him.
The navy which keeps its ships and
Its personnel up to an efficiency near
est to that which would actually hold
in wartime is the navy most likely
to have accidents, they say. And in
witness of this they point to the Brit
ish navy, with its ceaseless maneuvers,
in fog. rain and snow, and the frequent
target practice on American memo
war.
1T is not fair to ascribe accidents
such as those which have visited the
English memo war to neglect of duty,

"And when you say psychological infiu-
ence, you mean, in effect, that they
permitted something to step between
their duties and themselves. This Is
not so, am sure. A man who goes to
sea-particularly man who goes to

run chances.

point of maximum efficiency 1t is
bound to be in more danger than II 1t

Life of Young
Man Sayedby
Brakeman
NEENIEYER CAUGHT VICTIM OF
BACKWARD LEAP FROM TRAIN
FROM GONG UNDER WHEELS.

Bert Neemeyer, brakeman on the
mine passenger run, yesterday after
noon literally snatched an unknown
young man from horrible death be-
meath the wheels of the train as 1t
was leaving East Ely for the mines.
The young man boarded the train
under the impression that 1t was
bound for Smelter. AS it left the
depot he inquired of some one if 1t
was the smelter train and was told
no. He ran to the rear platform with
an armful of bundles and jumped
backwards from the moving car.
Neemeyer. on the back platform,
witnessed the jump and anticipating
the result, ran to the steps and lean
ing over caught the young man by
the collar just as his body was fall
ing backwards in front of the rear
trucks. which had he not been as
sisted would have passed over his
head. Neemeyer clung desperately to
his burden for several car lengths
before be succeeded in pulling the
young man back TO where he could
catch hold of the car steps and as
sist in getting on his feet. The ac-
cident was witnessed by number
of people about the depot and along
the track but WAS not known about
on the train until later The cool
and prompt action of the brakeman
undoubtedly saved the life of the
young man and was piece of work
worthy of much praise.

campaign with speech at Youngs-
town, o., Monday night, November 2.
The impression that the Republic
can national committee has virtually
taken charge of the campaign in Ohio
is erroneous. The impression doubt
less grew out of the statement made
today by Chairman Hitchcock that
the national committee had arranged
to send number of speakers into
the state. The national committee
has done this after full understand
ing with the state committee in Ohio.
So the matter was explained at the
national headquarters. The national
committee is particularly interested
in the Ohio situation because of the
many, though disputed reports of
disaffection in several sections of that
state. but the committee insists that
it has no doubt of the result in the
state as a whole. 1t now proposes.
