CARNEGIE HERO KILLED.
Man Who Saved Is Lives in Slocum
Disaster Has Tragic End.

With a Carnegie hero medal still
pinned to his coat, the body of Law
renee Halloran lies in the morgue at
Ozone park, Long Island, N. Y, near
where he was knocked from rail-
road train. Halloran was on the back
platform of a train when his hat blew
off and in trying to catch it he leaned
out and his head struck post, hurl-
ing him from the platform, and
causing his death.
AS the engineer of tugboat in the
East river, Halloran saved the lives
of at least IS children when the
steamer General Slocum was on fire
June Is, 1904. For this heroism he
was given a Carnegie medal.

The task Of restoring fertility to
Asatic Turkey is a probable opportunity
for enterprising engineers and capital
lists. The land, especially between the
Eurphates and Tigris rivers, formed one
of the earliest grain-helds, nut has been
abandoned through the decay of the
ancient irrigation works. Some years
ago, Sir William Wilcox, a British en-
gneer, proposed a system of rccla-
nation by irrigation and flood protection
works. The new Turkish Government
has become interested, and has made a
small appropriation, but seems to be
unable to raise sufficient money. The
entire cost would be $50, 000 900, though
a preliminary project has been planned
that calls for only one-hfth Of the
amount If grant is made to private
contractors, as seems likely to be done,
the profits during term Of years to be
the payment for completing the under
taking, it is estimated that the grain
crops would yield l6 to 20 per cent on
the cost
The air required by a person at hard
work has been supposed to be not more
than 0.6 to OF cubic feet per minute,
but Bernhard Draeger, inventor of a
breathing apparatus for use in mines,
has made some recent experiments
showing that this supply is insufficient.
Tests we're made with three individuals,
the air exhaled being measured by a
spirometer, or special gasometer. The
air breathed per minute in cubic feet,
was found to average for person sit
ting down, 03; after a walk of 1000
feet, 0.4; after marching over 1000 feet,
06. after lifting heavy weights, l.25 ;
after racing over distance of 900 feet,
1.8. The curious observation was
made that for a few seconds during
work or directly after, the air taken is
always much more than the normal
amount, the momentary increase reach
ing the rate of more than 3.5 cubic feet
per second.

been believed: DR.. A. E. Shipley, a

Struck a Baruain,

An old woman recently entered an

asked the price.

determined to get all he could.

"That is all. The case is worth no
more than twopence." was the reply.

old lady. with sigh of relief. ITS

Maternal Instinct.

We talk about maternal instinct"
There is no such thing. To be sure,
there are things that have to do with
young which females possess and males
lack. The wasp lays its egg on the

will never see. The hen sits twenty
one days on any roundish. whitish OBJ

The Diamond Romaino a Mystery.

AS a substance the diamond is one
of the mysteries of nature, one of the
despairs of science. Nobody knows
whence it came or how, whether it is
a spark from comets tail or crys-
tallized drop squeezed in some horri-
BILE intensity of fiery convulsion from
the white hot insurgent heart Of the
earth. Nobody knows much about 1t
at all, except that it doesn't belong
to this world. Some known black dia-
monds literally were from the skies.
They came imbedded in meteorites
cast upon Arizona and Chile by an
unidentified star. One does not pros
pect for chips of stars. AS well search
for the end of the rainbow. Neither
is it practical to hammer all sorts Of
eruptive rock and conglomerate where
ever come upon. Earthquake or vol
canic upheaval districts are not neces-
sarily the most promising. for often

French RUYoluti5n.
Before the French revolution the
government established warehouses ar
which the inhabitants were compelled
to purchase their stores of salt. These
warehouses were numerous in some
provinces aud few i'm others; but,
whether sufficient or insufficient for
the needs " the population. they were
often situated at a considerable dis
tance from the towns and villages.

along bad roads to buy their salt.

the year. Should he fail in this OBJ
servance he was lined, and he was also
fined if he purchased smaller guam
tity than the law prescribed.
His hardships did not stop even
there. On making his annual purchase
he had to state the different purposes
for which he intended to use the salt
during thc ensuing year and in the
event of his being discovered sailing

to his statement or his pork instead Of

RAILROADS HELP TO
MAKE CHICAGO WOOL CENTER

Chicago.-In the effort TO estab-
lish Chicago as a great wool market,
the National Wool Warehouse &
Storage company has encountered
some queer obstacles in the rate ad-
iustments for the west. The eastern
and western railroads have at last
agreed to "break" the wool rates at
Chicago, making rates in from the
west and rates out to the east, in
stead of the through rates which now
exist from the producing centers to
the eastern markets.
This action has been taken despite
the protest of the eastern wool buy
ers. for it Is in accord with the new
ratemaking principle the railroads are
trying to establish, which is that of
'breaking" the rates at important
centers.
From the woo-producing sections
of the west, however, the rates are in
need of ironing out. From parts or
Utah. for example, it has been DIS
covered that it is cheaper to back
haul wool nearly 1000 miles to Los
Angeles and then reship from there
to the eastern markets, than it is to
snip direct from Utah.
