RETURNING THE COMPLIMENT.

The editorial statement of the Dis
patch-News that former Judge W.
G. Bennett, of Weston, was one
of the ablest and most upright judges
who ever sat upon the bench of West
Virginia, . and its prediction that he
will make as good a Judge of the
horse races at the coming West Viz
Sipia Fair as he did of the law, re-
calls the remark the same Judge
Bennett Is said to have made about
Reese Blizzard, the present editor of
the Dispateh-News, when he was
elected Judge of the circuit court in
the Calhoun county circuit. Mr..
Blizzard, at that time, was young
and to considerable extent I'M
known beyond the confines Of CAL
houn. An elderly practitioner in
the Calhoun circuit, who knew Moth
ing at all of the new judges qualif-
cations, asked Judge Bennett what
sort of a Judge young Blizzard would
make. well, replied Judge Ben
nett, very promptly, Il don't know
much about him as a lawyer, but if
he Is as good judge of the law as
he is of horse-aesh, he'll make about
the best judge in West Virginia. .
And Judge Blizzard has handed back
the MISUNDERSTANDING Sentinel.

FOR HlMANITY
The BRAYEHEE RISK TIER LYBTRaT
OTHERS aAYLYE.

One by one the diseases are being
conquered. The doctors are gradu-
ally digging away the foundations
of epidemics and plaques. Typhoid
has been one of the most dreaded
diseases, A few years ago it was a
visitation of God, then it became
known that IT was disease caused
by a certain germ, and now it is be-
ieyed that way has been found to
inoculate against it SO as to render
the subject immune to its infection.
Three men at Omaha, soldiers of
the common good and real heroes,
submitted themselves to the expert
ments. They risked their lives in
cool blood, inste.d of in some
glorious" charge in which the heat
of battle makes bravery easy.
Last June these men-Sergt. Full
Ter and Priyates Schmidt and Good
man, U. S. Allowed themselves
to be inOculated with typhoid serum.
They did not know how it would af-
feet them. But they let the expert
ment be tried. They sufFereda light
form of typhoid, and got well.
Several weeks ago they suffered the
supreme test. They drank freely
ofstagnant water in which millions
of typhoid germs had been placed.
To. the ordinary man this would have
been certain disease, perhaps death.
But these men found that, with the
effects of the serum, they had lost
the power to take typhoid. Their
blood had manufactured an anti
toxin to kin the germs in the serum,
which made it poison to the germs in
the water. They were immune to
typhoid.
1t is an important victory to medi-
cine, as well as fine example of
heroism. Had this taken place be-
fore the Spanish-Americun war,
thousands of men who died of ty-
phoid in camp at chicamauga and
elsewheremight now be alive. Every
soldier would have been inoculated,
and even in those. pestilentiai quar-
tess probably t. Aaaad have died.
1t doeA MOI 4a1tr sAas We can let
down IN the szsetness of sanitation
and rely on vaccination for immun-
ity; but that whenever people are
placed in such position that they can
not avoid danger oftyphoid, they
may resort to inoculation.

ENSIGN TO RESUME
TWO THOUSAND MEN WILL PROBABLY
SECURE WORK.

In an interview with an employee
of the American CARR FounSr Com
pany's plant it was stated by the
gentleman that there Is to be great
activity at that concern in the very
near future. osderSare booked for
a vast amount of work, enough to
keep the plant going for several
months, and other orders are said to
be confidently expected long before
the present can be filed.
Recently the foreman in the res
pectivedepartments ofthe plant have
been serving notice on all the men
who formerly worked there to be
ready TO report between now and the
first Of September as it is expected
that by that time there viii be de-
mand for the full force at the shops.
1t is said that some difficulty may
be encountered in procuring sufd-
Gent force of operatives, owing to
the fact that the workmen who were
laid off nearly two years ago have
gone elsewhere for employment.
Quite number Of them have gone
to the country and are farming and
many of these have found their new
" adopted pursuit so agreeable and
profitable that many of them may
not return to their former places in
the shops. However, many new
corners have reached the city and
from them may be drawn good
working force for the plant. There
is said to be sufficient reasons for the
belief that as many as two thousand
men will be engaged at this industry
before the first of october-possibly
earlier.-Huntington Dispatch.

A Lake of Ink.

In Mexico there exists u most re-
markable natural phenomenon.

acre Of ground.
The body Of water or Ink, or what
ever II Is. Is So covered with the ashes
from the adjacent volcanoes rs 10 APP
pear part of the surrounding ground.
which Is all of the same dull gray tint.
The ashes are only n thin veil for a
thick. liquorice-like fluid of the con-
sistency Of thin molasses. only black
as shoeblacking.
At first the party of pioneers who
discovered the lake inclined to the
theory that II was but mlre hole. but
the condition Of the clothes of one Of
their party who fell into II quickly
disproved this, for the dirt left an in
dclible stain. II was called ink forth
with. and as 1t blended readily with
alcohol one OF the draughtsmen Of the
party took the occasion of supplying
himself with good. cheap quality Of
drawing ink.
Where this liquid comes from. what
its chemical properties may be and
how extensive the supply is are mat
