HERMIT LIFE SAVED HIM.
Islander Has Equipped Home With
Electrical Devices.

From the New York Tribune
On pretty little island in the Della
ware river there lives, and has lived for
nearly quarter of century, one of the
most interesting hermits In the world.
Nearly twenty-four years ago James S.
Willis was forced to the conclusion that
he would look on the green fields and the
blue sky for only a short time longer,
and that the daisies he admired SO much
would soon wave their dainty heads
above his grave. He was a very sick
man, was Willis. and despaired of get
ting well. But he loved the open air, the
forest and the freedom of the lonely hills.
He thought it over and decided that if ne
was doomed to die he would live the little
remainder Of his life as close to nature
as possible.
August 10, tWenty-four years ago, Willis
rowed across to the little island that has
been his home ever since. He intended to
make it a two-week camping trip. and
had he ended the two-week sojourn or
the island by succumbing to the sickness
that then afflicted him it would have been
no matter of surprise to any one who
knew him. But he got along remarkab bly,
we'll on the island-so well that he de-
cided to give up his business in Philadel-
phia and live there for the rest of his
life. He didn't believe that it would be
a long life, but the island has been a
wonderful place of restoration to Willis,
and he is in better health today than
ever before In his life. And he never was
happier or more contented with his lot
than he is today after nearly a quarter

Whitewashing the Coal.
From Harper's Weekly.

Persons who have been laying in their
supply of coal for the winter months
may have noticed that many of the
Jumps were coated with whitewash, and
they doubtless wondered what was the
reason for the unique decoration. AL
though the white color may be con-
sidercd to have improved the appear
ance of the coal, that was not the object
in view.
For many years the railroads have
been annoyed by coal thieves, and thou
sands of tons Of fuel were stolen annu-
ally. As the great carloads. containing
forty tons each. are being carried from
the mines, it Is easy for INSCRIPTIONS
persons to remove a ton or two from a
car without causing any noticeable
change in the appearance Of the load.
Only when the car is again put on the
scales is the loss detected. and then 1t
is too late to trace the guilty parties.
To check these dcpredations the rail-
road men have adopted the whitewash
method of safeguarding their freight.
After car has been loaded a solution
If lime and water is sprayed over the
coal, and when the water has evaporat-
cd white coating of lime remains on
the top layer of Jumps. Then il any
of the coal is removed black patch
will BIO left upon the white surface
to attract tho attention of inspectors
and station agents before the train has
gone many miles from the scene of the
theft. ard thus the offender is easily
traced,

Willis constructed a trap the approach TO

placed on a plate that is charged with
electricity, making positive force. and

more than seventy rats in this manner

made is a clock fashioned of tin cans
