BultaIIy Beaten
5000 Fellow Workers, Aroused by
Act, Threaten Boycott Of All
Vessels Belonging to
Company.

AS a result of the bloody clubbing
ana maltreatment of eighteen firemen
Of the Clyde liner Apache, their 5000
fellow fremen who go out as stokers
from this port, threaten to boycott the
Clyde Steamship Company by refus-
ing to work on any of their vessels
hereafter. Union sailors are also thor
Ey1znI1 aroused over the affair, and it
is quite probable the Clyde line will
have considerable more difficulty Sc
caring men than it has had in the
past.
The beating up Of these eighteen
men. nearly all OF Them union mem
bers. took place Mast Sunday morning
at Jacksonville, Fla, as the steamer
Apache was getting ready to cast off
her lines for New York.
+ Shortly before the vessel was to
sail, several of the sApaehe's Spanish
flremen went to the chief engineer and
asked permission to bring to New
York with them a fellow-fireman who
had been i'll and was practically penni-
less.
The chief engineer readily gave his
permission, in view of the circum-
stances, and the friends of the sick
firemen went to fetch him. "A few
minutes before sailing time the little
knot of faithful friends appeared with
the sick man, and were about to
enter the vessel when they were
halted by a private policeman for the
company. He demanded that the sick
man be dropped. Though the cir
cumstances were explained to him,
the policeman ordered the firemen to
get aboard and leave their comrade,
using considerable foul language. wit
nesses report.
FIRE FORCE STRUCK.
The fremen answered that before
they would desert their comrade the
Apache could leave without them, and
went aboard to get their belongings
and then quit. They were Joined by
the entire stocking force. who quit
work in a body.
At this point the captain and first
officer of the vessel ran up and or
dered the ,firemen to their places. The
men refused, saying they would eithe'
sail or stay with their friend. An ar
gnment ensued, which ended in the
policeman's leaping into the throng
with blackjack. He dubbed the in
offensive men right and left, drawing
a revolver, and aided by officials, drove
the bewildered men back on the liner,
which cast off and set sail.
UNNERyED BY THE SIGHT OF
BLOOD.
: The first officer was so unnerved by
the sight of the blood, which streamed
from the mems heads and bodies, that
he fed from the scene, and did not ap-
pear near the beaten men again.

panlers of led horses supplies were being
taken by trained hands. Dick watched the
man who unsaddled his own mount, and
then looked at the cook who was preparing
breakfast for the squad.
Suddenly wailing, vibrant cry came
from man far out on the outskirts, dis
turbing his contemplations. 1t was the
Mussulman sentry warning his fellows that
the first hour of prayer was at hand. The
sun peeped over the horizon. Every soldier
of the party stopped his task, threw his
mantle out widespread on the ground, faced
the east, and knelt down. AS if by common
impulse they rubbed hands, face, head, and
arms with sand clutched from beside their
mantles and began their prayers as the sun,
with the abruptness of the latitude, came slip
ping up. Now they rose to their feet, still
mumbling prayers, again to throw them
selves face downward in prostration, or
again to rise upon their toes and knees with
elevated hands and closed eyes. Dick saw
that the Kaid had removed his helmet and
stood quietly and respectfully watching his
followers, as if making all possible Difference

sign of religious fervor and resumed their
duties, the cook picking up the knife which
he had carefully laid on the edge of his man.
tie, the soldier who had currycomb in his
hand when the call for prayer was given
resuming it, and in a minute the temporary
camp was acting as if it had never known a
religious emotion.
"There!" the Kaid said. "You can see
from that how deep this religion is. It's
full of observance, and that's about all.
Isn't very inspiring, is it? There are five
seasons of prayer in each day, and you'll see
this performance repeated by men who inn
mediately after would cut throat without
any compunctions whatever"
He turned away with a disgruntled air,
walked out to the extreme edge of the
plateau on which they had halted, and ap-
peared to be looking far out over the plains.

ing sunlight as he stood squarely on his
heels and shaded his eyes with his hands.

The Stomach's Problem

ONE of the greatest questions disturbing
~ the minds of Psychologists both past
and present is that of the stomach's digesting
powers. 1t is asked why the stomach does
not digest itself. 1t is we'll known that gas
trio juices have the power to digest the tissue
of which the stomach is made. One of the
things actually manufactured by the body
secreted in the glands near the stomach and
poured into it. is hydrochloric acid, power
full agent that will eat up almost anything.
Why it does not eat the stomach up is prob
lematiCal.
1t is known that stomach from dead
animal or man can be digested by living
man. 1t has been found out also that when
man is killed accidentally and his stomach
is in the process of digesting, if the body be
kept warm, his whole stomach will be di-
gested and possibly too adjacent organs, as
liver. pancreas, etc. From this it was argued
that the principle of life" kept the process
from going on in living being. Subsequent
ly, however, this was proved to be untrue.
A living frog was put in an unconscious con-
dition and his leg inserted through small
hole in dogs stomach, the dog being alive
and we'll 1t was found that the frogs leg
was wholly digested in the process, although
living. So the last reason conceivable was
proved incapable of explaining the phenom-
enon.
About the only conclusion left is that the
stomach does gradually actually eat itself
up: but that it is being constantly rebuilt.
However, as this experiment is hard to per-
form and as no results have so far been an
nounced in this direction, we are left in a
state of absolute ignorance, and all we can
do is to be devoutly thankful to Providence
that our stomachs do not digest themselves
except in the ordinary course of human
events. Laurence Hodges

Telephoning with Light

DHOTOTELEPHON has reached COM
mercial basis in Germany. Ernst Rhu-
mer of Berlin has contrived an apparatus
by which ineligible speech can be trans
mitted over a distance of nine miles with the
aid of beam of light.
The principle of the machine is based upon
the sensitiveness of an arc light to sound,
combined with the property of selenium, of
varying its electrical resistance with the
slightest variations in the intensity of ray
of light falling upon it. A searchlight pro-
jector at the transmitting end and selenium
cell in telephone circuit at the receiving
end are the essential features of the appara-
tus. For use in misty weather, when speech
would be inaudible the inventor has con-
trived a method of transmitting Morse
sound signals by periodic pulsations of the
light.
