.S'HlRElWD MIR. D0OLY 7.
He HAS DISCOVERED 4 USE FOR:
"sWITcHTAlL" cows.
Jersey Farmer Has Device mot Pat.
ented) by Which, He Makes AMI
NAL Saw Wood with Her
CaudaI Appendaoe.

John Dooly Of Jacksonville, N. J.,
has hit upon plan that will hereafter
make "switchtair' cows bring a pre-
MUM. instead Of, as now, being un-
marketable. >Dooly is the owner of a
brfndle cow that he has been COM
PEELED for years to milk himself. His
hired men after the first trial of milk
Ing the COW refused to remain longer
In Dooly's employ if compelled to put
up with the lashing of old br1ndle's
tail.
Dooly has tried for eight years to
get rid of the COW, but her fame has
spread over Essex and Morris coun7
ties, aud purchaser for. her could not
b found. She can snap her tail like
q whip. and the result is that Dooly's
face has not been minus several
pieces of sticking plaster for years.
Dooly said recently, II have been
thinking for some time of using the
old brfndle's tailpower to some good
effect, and at last hit upon a plan,
which l have now put into effect with
such good results that If any of the
farmers around have any 'switchtai'
cows they want to dispose of they will
find buyer at the Dolly farm.
Il cut a hole through the side of the
woodshed," continued Dooly, lust op-
posite the circular saw, which we turn
by hand to cut up wood in stove
lengths, and through this hole I put a
beam, which I balanced just like the
walking beam of a ferryboat on the
North river. On the inside end I
fastened stick leading down to the
wheel that turns the saw. On the
outside I fastened rope. I tried the
thing and it worked fine. Driving q
stake into the ground near by, tied
the old brtndle to it, and, fastening
her tail to the beam rope, sat down to
milk. called Pat Dugan, the farm
helper, and told him to feed wood to
the saw. He thought at first l was
crazy, but ordered him to do al told.
"The next minute the old brindle
gave her tail a switch to swipe me
across the face as usual. but she
couldn't. The rope held, and she could
only switch her tail so far Then she
tried in the other direction, with the
same result. BY this time old brindle
got pretty mad and she jerked that
tail of hers back and forth as quick
as lightning, and, say, that walking
beam kept going at such a rate that
you would thought the circular saw
was being driven by a ten-horse power
engine.
1T just took Is minutes to milk old
brindle, and in that time she cut up
two cords Of wood into stove lengths.
No, sir, wouldn't take $500 for that
old brindle COW now," concluded
Dooly.

were for the great lakes trade.
the need for more bottoms has become
so acute that steamship companies en-
gagged In the trade recently have been
obliged to go to English and Scotch
shipyards with orders.
The freight conveyed over these wa
ters during 1908 was more than seven
times as much as the whole world car
rfed through the Suez canal in the
same time. Four thousand freight
steamers, ESQ big passenger steamers,
and about $4,000 pleasure and other
craft comprise the enormous great
lake fleet, which uses upward of 5000.
900 tons Of coal in a single year, or
enough to heat every house in Chicago
for three years.
OF the needs Of the great lakes
ships and shippers the greatest is for
an adequate and reliable means of
communication from ship to ship and
from ship to shore.
With the first great long distance
wireless station nearing completion at
Toledo, with Is other long distance
stations already contracted for con.
struction along tie lake front. with
work going ahead on IS smaller shore
stations and with so odd more al

SHIP BURNS; 14s yAPs DIE.
Victims of Disaster Near Aomori,
Japan Include MANY Women.


Unable because of a heavy fog to
obtain relief from the shore which
was nearby, 149 Japanese, including
1873 fisherfolk, both men and women,
were drowned or burned to death
with the burning of the Japanese
steamer, Nihonkai-Maru, near Aomori,
Japan, June IA Details of the disas.
ter were received at Victoria. B. c.,
with the arrival of the Canadian Pa
cific steamship Empress.
The cause of the fire, which brought
panic among the fisherfolk and mem
bers OF the crew, was no: determined.
There was mad rush of all for the
two boats carried, but through clumsi-
ness in launching these were rendered
useless. The flames made quick head
way and the passengers and members
OF the crew either dropped into the
sea or took refuge in the rigging. The
IRE soon reached those who had gone
aloft and they were either burned as
they tried to lash themselves to the
masts and spars or fell into the flames
beneath them.
Once the fog lifted and people on
the shore saw the awful scenes on the
blazing steamer The steamship Ben
ton-Maru put out from the village of
Notech. but could make hardly any
speed in the fog, and when it reached
the Nihonkai-Maru only twenty-seven
persons had managed to keep afloat in
the sea. 1t was stated that there
were no life buoys or RATS carried
on the ruined steamer.

FOURTH'S DEATH TOLL SMALLER
Saner Celebration Brings Twelve
Less Fatalities than in 1908.

More rigid laws and the growth of
| public sentiment for sane celebra-
ton of the Fourth have had their re-
suit all over the country in reducing
the number of killed and wounded in
the annual holiday.
Full returns of the two-day celebra-
ton this year show a falling off in
the number of killed of twelve from
the record of 1908. There were forty
four fatalities reported at o'clock
Tuesday morning, as against fifty-six
at the same time last year.
A more careful enumeration of the
accidents by the police of the larger
cities and the extending of the count
to the smaller towns caused an appar-
ent increase in the list of injured.
Figures showed 1851 injured through
out the country, as against 1899 in
1908
There also was an increase in the
fire losses caused by the celebration
this year, the total reported being
$734,575, as against S257 800 in 1908.
The greater part of this increase in
the loss is accounted for, however by
single fire in Spokane, Wash, which
destroyed property to the value of
$3.50, 900.

Identity of Couple Drowned at South

Death in suicide compact in the

romance of Herman Lindemann and

the boat shot over the dam Linde-
mann arose in the bow of the frail
rowboat, smiling at the horror-strick-
en- crowd which shouted a warning
from the shore, pulled twice on a ciga-
rette, and then, as the boat went over
the dam, clasped his bride in his arms
and sank from sight. Discovery of the
young mans identity came when
search was made at the Crescent Ho-
tel, where Lindemann and his bride
had registered Monday. Chicago adj
dresses of the two were found in cloth
