Doston.-Men on earth may be able
to communicate with the inhabitants
of Mars soon, said Professor William
Henry Pickering of Harvard. This
will be possible by flash messages
when that planet approaches to with
in 35.000,000 miles of the earth, or o.
000,oG0 miles closer than ever before.
"If there are inhabitants on Mars
who have advanced as far as man has
and who are provided with telescopes
as powerful as we to-day possess,
they could easil. perceive our signals
and undoubtedly could recognize and
answer them.
"My plan of communication would
require the use of a series of mir.

would have to be more than quarter

to use many of them.
These mirrors would all have to be
attached to one great axis parallel to
the axis of the earth, run by motors
and so timed as to make complete
revolution every twenty-four hours,

LEAVES CURE SNAKEB|TES
Authority on RattIesnakes Says Pro-
fessor is Far Behind Times--Discov-

cry Turned Town Temperance.
Port Jervis, N. Y.-"Science may
not know how to cure the bite OF
rattler, but if Doc Marshall will hunt
up the Greening boys in Pike County,
Pennsylvania, they will tell him now
to do it. Or he can find out from
John c. Geer, of Fremont Centre, Sui
livan County, New York, that the
leaves of the arrow leaf violet Cvio-
lens sagittarius) never fail to cure"
This was the statement of William
Nearpass, perpetual supervisor from
Deerpark township, editor, trout sharp
and authority on the rattlesnakes of
the upper Delaware river. His re-
marks were addressed to Erie Con-
ductor Bill" Baxter regarding the
Philadelphia dispatch telling how DR..
John Marshall, chemistry and toXico.
logy professor of the University of
Pennsylvania, had informed bunch
of medics that there was no known
cure for snakebite.
'No one dies from snakebite up
along the Delaware" continued the
deacon; mot since John Geer some
thirty years ago found out that If he
had few violet leaves of certain
kind handy he could defy the venom
of all the rattlers of Pike and Sullivan
counties combined. Just had to chew
a few leaves green or dried, and go
about his business"
"Geer," said the deacon, was the
pioneer in the snake industry. He
knew more about rattlesnakes and
rattlesnake grease than you are ever
likely to learn about original sin.
"Geer was always getting bit by the
serpents and kept whisky flask
handy. One day the bites came 50
fast that the flask went dry, and not
a tavern in twenty miles.
"Geer always drew veil Of silence
over what happened the rest of the
day; but he never drank whisky for
snakebite or anything else after that,
and in place of the flask carried a
leather tobacco pouch with a lot OF
queer-looking dried leaves in 1t.
"He would not tell what it was, for
some time, though everybody in four
counties soon learned that John Geer
had a cure for snakebite and that it
wasn't whisky. People drove for
miles across country to reach Geer
and his cure. Always saved them,

BIG EAGLE FOUGHT
BAND OF FARMERS
Americas Great Bird Had Been
Caught Trying to Garry Off
35-Pound Boy
BOLDLY SWOOpS DOWN ON CHILD
Battle Royal Ensued Between Farm
ers' Armed with Pitchforks and the
Magnificent Eaele-Men Won but
the Bird Carried OFF Honors of War.

st. Charles, 1ll.-In a battle royal
between a collection of farmers arm
ed with pitchforks, sticks and stones
on one side, and lone eagle, but OF
magnificent size, on the other, the
men finally won, although the fighting
honors rightfully belonged to the bird,
which had been interfered with in its
attempts to carry off the three-year'
old son of Peter Johnson.
Fully a score of persons participate
ed in the conflict with the eagle, and
pitchforks, clubs and stones were
brought into service before the bird,
exhausted from it's efforts, gave up
the fight. Johnson was terribly
scratched in the encounter, although
his son was 'unhurt.
The Johnson boy, was playing on
his fathers farm near st. Charles
when the eagle was first observed.
The great bird circled about the VI
cinity at a great height for several
minutes. Suddenly, with the speed
of lighting flash, it darted down,
and its steel like talons had caught
the childs dress.
The child's surprise for a second
struck him dumb, and the eagle, using
every ounce of it's strength, bore the
boy upward. Surprise gave way to
alarm. The child screamed for aid
and struggled vigorously to free him
self from the eagles clutches.
The boy is a stockily built lad,
weighing about 80 pounds, and the
bird was unable to make great pro-
gress.
The father heard the screams Of his
child and hurried from his home. He
saw the boy in the birds clutches and
ran toward the scene of the struggle
With all his strength he threw him
self on the eagle and bore it to the
ground. The child was saved and ran
shrieking for assistance for his faith.
er. The man and the bird were lock.
ed in death grip, the eagle using it's
claws, while Johnson struck out with
his free hand as he held the bird with
the other.
Neighbors were soon on the scene,
From the start they were determined
if possible, to capture the eagle alive
Sticks and stones fell on it's body
while both wings were Immediately
crippled.
The breaking of the wings made es
cape of the eagle impossible, but for
two hours it fluttered along the
ground, fiercely repelling every attack
until, completely exhausted, it was
pinioned to the earth by two pitch
forks.
The eagle when measured proved
to be twelve feet from tip to tip OF
its wings and a perfect specimen OF
its kind. 1t is believed it will speed
lily recover from the injuries received
in it's struggle with the men, and
johnson plans to present it to some
geological garden.
Although Johnson is suffering in
tense pain as a result of the scratches
received in the fight none of his hurts
is regarded as dangerous, the worst
wound being an immense cash torr
in his left shoulder. He was greatly
weakened from loss of blood.
The boy is none the worse for his
experience and takes the greatest de
light in watching the imprisoned bird

HAND GROWS TO ARM.

Michigan Surgeons Successful in Un-
usual Operation.
Kalamazoo, Mich.-The hand that
was severed from the wrist of Charles
Miller at paper factory here recent
ly has been successfully rejoined to
his arm, and it is said that the young
man will shortly be discharged from
Bronson Hospital, with the prospect
of regaining full use of his hand. Only
a small piece of flesh held the hand
and arm together when the accident
occurred, but doctors quickly bound
them together and the wound has
rapidly healed.
Doctors here say that few such
operations have resulted successfully.

SAYS MEAT MAKES DRUNkARDs
Doctor Urges Vegetarian Diet to Cure
Alcoholism.

Washington.-"If you have a strong
appetite for King Alcohol and tobacco
and want to be cured of the habit, just
eat a vegetable diet for six months"
This was the advice given by DR..
D. H. Kress of this city in an address
entitled Dyspepsia and Its Relation
to Inebriety," before the American So
ciety for the Study of Alcohol and
Other Drug Narcotics. He discussed
the evil effects of an excessive diet
and declared that overeating leads to
drunkenness. "If you would not be-
come a drunkard," said DR.. Kress,
then quit eating meat"

around with the axis once day and
obviating the necessity of continually
readjusting it to allow for the move
ment of the planets.
''As far as the people of Mars are
concerned this reflector would not,
of course, be apparent to the naked
eye, but through lenses of such magni-
tude as we have to-day the reflection
would be easily discernible and would
undoubtedly attract attention at once.
THE best time for transmitting
such a reflection would be in the
morning, a little after sunrise. The
cost of such an undertaking would be
about $10,000,000."

New York City.-When a reporter
Columbia University to learn how
star-gazers there regarded Prof. vii.
liam Henry Pickering's plan for COM
municating with Mars, Prof. Howard
Jacoby, head of the department, and
DR.. S. A. Mitchell, his associate, were
just bowling out a venerable gentle.
man who had inquired as to the
weight of holes in cheese.
His problem was little less obtuse
than some propounded to us concern
ing Mars" smiled Prof Jacoby, but
we are always glad to answer ques-
tions, as discussion stimulates inter-
est in astronomy. Now, you ask if
we might signal to Mars by projecting
reflected ray of light from mirror
or series of mirrors quarter of mile
in area. This is scientifically possible.
but impractical. Why not wait for
the Martians, if there be any, to sig.
nal us? Would it not then be time
enough to rig up an answering ap-
paratus?"
Quite the correct idea," agreed DR.,
Mitchell.
The professors were asked what a
Martian ought to look like.
well, to begin with he would be
tall and spindle-shanked," replied DR..
Mitchell. 1T is certainty that there
are no fat men on Mars. The at.
traction of gravity is two-thirds less
there than here, hence he would grow
upward instead of sideways. He
would make great Marathon runner,
as the resistance is less. His head
would be immense when compared to
the diameter of his body and his eyes
might be as big as saucers. AS I'm
creating this Martian I'm going to
have him to my own liking.
Being exceedingly brainy he has
probably discovered a way to per
petuate his kind through the incuba
tor process. l don't believe the men
are web-footed, but they probably
grow q fine crop of fur"

A STRANGE NEW PERIL.
Travellers Tell of Cactus That Jumped
at Them,

Torreon, MeXico.-Travelers return
ing here from the mountains have dis
covered a new species of cactus which
they have named "catcuss" because
they say it springs upon travellers
like a cat and makes them "cuss." >"
The paper says that the "Catcuss"
grows upon a stalk and is shaped like
a small ball and covered with spines.
Travellers claim that it is attracted by
the warmth of human or animal
body and that it springs from it's stem
onto the passerby, the spines piercing
the flesh and holding on like a oac-
tus spine.

ity has been taken off their hands

When anyone applies for assistance
refer them to the charity agent and
then there wiA be no danger of Civ

So Tar the Associated Charities has
saved the people of Fargo a good deal
although there are some who give di-
rect help instead Of sending the appli-
cants to US. Here the other day sew
eral people parted with several dol
lars to a person who was working a
graft and this could have been avoid
ed had they refused to give direct aid
and referred the applicant to the AS
ISOLATED Charities. That is one thing
that the society has been formed
for"
Reverend McCrachen stated that the
association has given aid to a num-
Der of poor people, giving them tenn
porary relief and securing them
places where they could be self sup
porting. He asks that the people who
know OF any poor people to send in the
names and addresses so that the as
ISOLATION can get in touch with them
and relieve their wants.
