RESCUED FROM SHARKS.
Narrow Escape of Filipino Sailors
From a Wrecked Vessel.

Narrow Escape of Filipino Sailors
From a Wrecked Vessel.
Capt Carlos Krebbs, commander OF
the steamship Dalupaon, reports that
last Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock.
while en- route from Turela to Iligan,
the ship sighted four Fiiipinos cling
ing to a submerged banca surrounded
by a special school of sharks, which,
even after the vessel had come along
side, persisted in lowering about the
banca.
The four men upon being picked up
related terrible tale of suffering and
agony. They stated that they had left
Basoc, Negros, bound for Barili, Cebu,
and that on Saturday they ran into
heavy weather which caused the
banca to fill, sinking to the waters
edge and washing away their food and
drink
Shortly after that the weather
cleared, leaving these poor mariners
under the glare of A tropical sun. Then
the sharks appeared and to the agony
of thirst and pangs of hunger was
added the terrific fate of becoming a
morsel for a sharks tooth.
They had despaired of relief and
every vestige Of hope was gone when
they sighted the Dalupaon.

Statistics show that Winnipeg is
now the fourth largest manufacturing
city of Canada, and those who have
studied the benevolent economic con-
ditions which must control her future
see a repetition of the history of ST.
Louis or Chicago before the capital
city of Manitoba.
In 1902 the city of Winnipeg had a
population Of 48,411; at the opening
OF the present year the official figures
were $4,000 In that same year five
years ago the total assessable prop
erty of the city amounted to $28,615,-
80 and in 1907 had jumped to $780,
$4,000. In the same space of time
the bank cleartngs increased from
$188, $4,000 in 1902 to $500, $4,000 in
1907.

Wis. FRUITS GREAT FUTURE

/ Actual observation all over Wiscon-
sin as we'll as our experience at the ex-
pertinent station, convinces me that
commercial orcharding can be made as
profitable and as safe a business in
| Wisconsin as anywhere in the United
States, said Prof E. p. Sandsten OF
the University of Wisconsin college OF
agriculture in addressing the annual
meeting of the Wisconsin horticultural
Society. Every year large shipments
of summer and fall apples come into
Wisconsin from both east and west and
sell at prices that are higher than those
obtained elsewhere One order of six
car lots of crab apples shipped into SUI
perior and Duluth from Montana sold
| at wholesale for $1.25 and $150 per
bushel. No one will deny that crab
apples and summer and fall apples can
be grown in Wisconsin with success.
AS for winter apples, we can well
afford to let them alone for the present,
but even in these varieties we can be
dangerous competitors w i h other
states. If we confine ourselves to a
few standard sorts and build up repu-
tation for them we would make great
advance as fruit growing state.
after travelling over the state for a
number of years, [ am convinced that
we have several sections that are ad-
mirably adapted to fruit growing.
These sections are in many cases issol-
ated the result Of topography and geo.
graphical location. One would natur-
ally suppose that the best fruit sections
would be along the border of Lake
Michigan and this is true, providing the
elevation is sufficient and the soil suit
able. There are localities in practic-
ally every county in the state where
much fruit can be grown for profit, eX-
Guiding those sections of swamp and
low sandy lands and the more northern
sections. There are marked fruit re
gions, for example, in and about Bara-
boo and westward into Richland, YER
non and Crawford counties. 1t is only
question Of time before commercial
orchards will be dotted all over this
section. | am convinced that the des-
pissed Ben Davis can be grown success
fully in this region"
Referring to failures in fruit growing
in Wisconsin, Professor Sandsten at
tributed most unsuccessful experiences
to the following causes: Lack of pro-
per orchard management and soil,
planting poor varieties, setting trees
too close together, and selection of a
wrong type of trees. In conclusion he
emphasizes that what is needed in Wis
consin orcharding today is an applica-
ton of the fundamental truths rather
than conducting experiments and dis
cussions on subjects that have only a
secondary bearing upon practice. Eve
have accumulated facts and performed
experiments enough to enable any intel
ligent person to start in commercial
fruit growing in the state, he said in
closing. What is needed today is an
application of what we really know
rather than branching out after new
things.

MINERS AND TUBERcULosIa
Number of Cases Among Coal Miners
Below the Average

Below the Average.
mining journal published at Scran-
ton has been calling attention to the
curious fact that in coal mining COM
munities there is a marked deficiency
in the mortality from tuberculosis as
compared with that of other localities.
This is a phenomenon that has also
been observed in Great Britain and
attention has been drawn to it by B.
H Thwaite
According to Mr.. Thwaite the effects
noted may be due to the physiological
effects Of carbon monoxide, for he
finds that men engaged about blast
furnaces and gas producers are peculi-
arly free from tuberculOus trouble.
1t is suggested in Mines and Nine
rails that the presence Of carbon dust
in the lungs may be a cause of pro-
ductiOn of co, and that this will serve
to explain the immunity of miners
from the disease.
The tubercle bacillus is a creature
of extreme tenacity of life. 1t is en-
cased in a waxy integument and is
proof against even nitric acid, but
gases are SO penetrating in their
powers of diffusion that it can well
be considered that carbonic oxide
might reach the tissues of a creature
In subtle manner, for the gas cannot
be perceived.

Owls to Kill Off Sparrows.

They have discovered way to thin
out the obnoxious English sparrows
in Erie. Two owls which had taken
possession of one OF the squirrel
houses in a tree on the court house
lawn at Erie have launched forth into
the sparrow eradication business.
Janitor Avery noticed that the num-
Der of birds was rapidly diminishing
and Monday discovered the secret
when he had occasion to look into the
squirrel mousse. He found the place
literally filled with bones and feath-
ers which formerly had constituted
parts of the anatomies of sparrows.

swordlike leaves and twisted them
round and round. Later on it straight

is simple, a number of dropping, rag

these mops hangs the fruit. in shape
like pineapple. made up of hard red
and yellow kernels. woody and fibrous,
and quite UNBEATABLE from Europeans

KILLS A aRAMPus IN WEIR.
Fishing Boat Grew Has Hard Fight to
Subdue the Creature,


When the Blatchford weir crew
went off to their harbor trap to-day
they found an eighteen foot grampus
in the netting.
Having but limited room the creature
could not exert it's strength to the
best advantage, but il made things
lively for its asSailants for the ensu-
ing half hour. The fishermen's
weapons were an ak and a big hook,
and with these they engaged in COM
bat
The hook was thrust into the head
of the grampus AT once the cetacean
put up a vigorous protest. If it could
have turned its head downward it
would have quickly torn loose from
the fishermen and probably have
forced its way out through the weir,
but the rope fastened at one end to the
hook and at the other to the boat pre-
vented this
The fear and fury of the creature
were confined to terrific thrashings of
its fiukes and plunging OF its body.
Once the grampus reared alOft threat
ening to tumble bodily into the boat,
but it fell to one side, simply delug-
ing the craft and it's occupants. Hold
ing hard to the hook rope, Blatchford,
Baker, Raymond and Freeman used
the AK with vigor, directing their
efforts to the crushing of the thick
skull Again and again the ak swung
with all the strength of the wielder,
descended and at last the great sea
animal turned upon its side dead.
David c. Stult bought the grampus
and had it towed to his shore front.
