mother-in-law. They tied up their
launch at West Bluff and crossed the
Bluff Line trestle to the Chautauqua
grounds.
When they started to return home
they knew no regular train was due
and walked out on the trestle with
out hesitation. They were half way
across the structure, which is 60 feet
long and 40 feet high. when freight
train rounded the sharp curve at
West Bluff, within few yards of the
trestle
Herren was walking ahead holding
The boys hand. Stalder was just be-
hiud them carrying an empty basket
On his arm. They heard the rumble
beyond the bluff. The next instant
the engine came into view.
Stalder's first impulse was to catch
Lp the boy and jump into the Is feet
of water in the inlet, but he remem-
oered that it was filled with logs and
snags and he hesitated. Herren
caught the boy up with his left arm
and jumped to a stringer paralleling
the rail at the end of the ties and
was lowering himself over the edge
with his burden.
StaItier caught the boy about the
knees with his right arm and also
lowered himself, holding to stringer
with his left arm, on which the bas.
ket still hung.
There was nothing for their feet to
touch and they swung above the wa
ter, each holding on by one arm and
holding the boy between them with
their other arms.
The engine struck the basket and
the wrench of the handle on Stalder's s
arm almost broke his hold and left
scar. The trembling of the trestle
almost shook their grasp loose, but
the train was not long and they were
able to hold on until it passed.

MANY WORKED ON WIRELESS
Experimenting with the
Principle.

Wireless telegraphy has many dis.
coverers. AS has been so often the
case in any branch Of physics. wheth.
or pure or applied. the name OF Lord
Kelvin is associated with the discov.
cry. In 1853 he gave forth the theory
of oscillation. In 1866 Maxwell pro
pounded the theory of electrical
waves. and in 1888 Hertz practically
discovered them. Sir Oliver Lodge
was looking for the waves at the
ssame time. and was successful In
finding them running along wires in
,the same year that Hertz discovered
them going through space, In 1890
he was able to take further step.
developing the receiving strange
ments for the detection of these
waves by means of the principle
which he decided to call syntony.
At the same time another word
coherer. was added to the language
In 1894 he was able to give a demon
stration before the British association
of signaling across space without
wires, and about the same time he
published a book.
In 1895 Admiral Popoff of the Rus.
sian navy and Capt, Jackson OF the
English navy carried the idea little
further, and then in 1896 Marconi took
up the matter with great pertinaclty
and marked success.

Wonderful Human Tongue.

Some remarkable facts regarding
the tongue have been recently pre-
sented by the eminent surgeon, Or. e.
Souchon of New Orleans. The doctor,
after stating that the tongue, the nose
and the skin are the only organs OF
special sense which perform other
functions. remarks that the tongue is
the only organ except the heart which
presents a base. body and an apex,
and that no other organ can assume
such a variety of shapes or is nova
BILE. says Leslie's Weekly, Its pa.
pillae, though similar TO those OF
other mucous membranes, are larger
and more specially developed. The
tongue presents a dual structure in
accordance with its dual functions

We were all familiar with Mary

shoulders and short bowed legs. 1t

shadow like pair of tongs, but
then as every one knows shadows are

Assertion That Plant Was Certainly
Placed Here for Good Purpose.

II is passing strange that, with all
the experience at command, the ply
siologists are never in agreement as to
the effects of the smoking habit. Even
where lay opinion has been fairly well
established by the apparently we'll d.
gested views of the scientists with re-
spect to certain phases of the whole
problem. they are wholly liable to up
setting by the latest opinion. For ex-
ample, two considerations have long
been thought to be determined-that
moderate indulgence in tobacco need
not be denied, and that the Lao not
out of his teens would better abjure
tobacco altogether. 1t may be assert.
cd that man is not smoker by ma
lure; and certain effects of tobacco
seem to indicate, without especial ar
gument, that the longer the acquire
ment of the habit Is postponed the bet
Ter for the human system. At the
same time the remote antiquity of the
tobacco plant suggests that it is one
of natures unassisted growths: and.
