HAS THRILLING EXPERIENCE
Tells How Prank of Friend Nearly
Cost His Life and His Mad Efforts
to Ward Off Death Under Water
Had But One Idea.

Boston.-Two men were sitting at
table in a restaurant discussing va
rious psychological phenomena. Both
were professional men and familiar
with the technical as well as the pop
ular side of the subject they were re-
viewing, which was the concentration
of the attention when face to face
with death.
"One often hears wonderful stories
of the instant review of the events
of lifetime experienced by drowning
persons or those who are in danger
of imminent DEATH" remarked the
other of the two, "but l have always
been little skeptical about the pos
sibility of such a complete revival Of
the memory and the condensation Of
the events of a lifetime into the min-
ute and half that it takes to drown. y
''But, objected the other, sit has
fallen to my lot on two separate occa-
sions to be thoroughly convinced Of

was in the River Shannon. when

it good push ahead as l reached for
the stern after one Of my efforts, and
] went down.
Not knowing anything about swim
ming except the stroke, had no idea
of the movements necessary to bring
me to the surface.
As I went down for the traditional
third time Mr.. Smith noticed that

the stroke had ceased Fortunately
for me it had. because after a final
dive and failure to reach me Mr..
Brown happened to touch with his
foot what he took to be haIf-sunken
sod of turf, many Of which float down
the Shannon under the surface. In
he made another dive and
got his hand upon it only to find that
he had hold of the hair of my head.
This is what went on above the
surface, as learned later. Under the
water there was only one idea in my
mind. and that was whether or not

Rev. Paul A. Meury lent his church,

tulip culture in Holland recovered
from the effects of the financial dis

tulip mania. But when the sturdy
common sense Of the people returned
they set to work in sober earnest to
rationalize the cultivation of the
flower, with the result that today
there are 1900 recognized varieties
grown in the Netherlands and 5000.
600 pounds Of bulbs are shipped every
year to the United States. Between

Although strict secrecy is observed
with regard to the names and iden.
tity of the inmates, Sir Robert re:
calls during his several stays at Broad
moor having seen and talked with
number of prisoners possessed of a
certain amount of historical interest.
Chief among them was Edward Ok
ford, who in 1910 had attempted to
shoot Queen Victoria when she was
driving with the prince consort to
Buckingham palace.
Another strange inmate of Broad,
moor was old Mrs. Brough, who had
been the nurse of King Edward, who,
in spite of what has been said, was
not nursed by his mother, the queen.
Mrs. Brough, as reward for her serv-
ices to the heir apparent, was accord
ed a cottage in the grounds of the
royal palace at Claremont, her hus,
band being employed as one of the
gardeners on the place. One day Mrs.
Brough, having quarreled with her
husband, became afflicted with homi-
cidaI mania, and before morning, she
cut with razor the threats Of all
her six children.
Mrs. Brough was put on trial, &C
quilted on the score of insanity, and
ordered to be detained during her maj
esty's pleasure at Broadmoor.
Few have any idea of the extent of
the persecution Of this kind to which
the anointed Of the Lord are subjected
in Europe. In London, as at Berlin
and at Potsdam, it is rare that week
passes without the quiet arrest by the
police of more or less unbalanced in
diyiduals who clamor for access to

pretexts.

NEW SPORT ON PRAIRIEs
Motor Car Is Used in Chasing Fleet
Jack Rabbits and the Willy
Coyote.

Topeka, Kan.-The faithful horse Is
going into the discard in Kansas as a
necessary adjunct of a hunting party
or the chase of horse thief Motor
cars are becoming so plentiful in the
state and they have been found so
much better in chasing the fleet jack
rabbit or driving the common coyote
to its lair or catching those who take
horses and mules from stables with
out the owners permission that the
horses are being relegated to the rear
Rabbit and wolf hunts have long
been a common sport in Kansas. Men
would go out with horses and dogs
and have a rabbit or wolf drive. Now
a party of dozen men in three or
four motor cars goes out and makes
more successful drives than a hundred
men with horses.
A wolf hunt with motor car is
about as exciting sport as any one
would care to indulge in. In middle
and western Kansas are thousands Of
acres of wheat and corn lands with
out st q feaee often ozle essn 4aave-
or ten miles across the country and
encounter few fences except those
around a small pasture on each farm.
It is not much trouble to stir I'D q
coyote or prairie wolf in western Kan
sas, and when the motor party sees
one the race begins. The coyote runs
in large circle. He does not dodge
back and forth or zigzag much, so it
is comparatively easy matter for the
driver to keep right behind Mr.,
Coyote. But that motor car must be
moving along at lively gait. The
coyote can hump along across the
prairie at about 80 miles an hour, and
he can also do some tall squirting
when necessity demands.
In the days of coyote hunting with
horses and dogs the wolves were never
driven to their dens. But about an
hours driving with a motor car gives
the coyote about all the running he
cares for and he makes for his den.
But his rest is not long. because the
hunters pour some gasoline into the
hole, the animal pops out, and the
chase is resumed across the country
until a good shot ends the life of the
pest Of the prairie.

Dutch Expedition Finds High

Existence Of GEittering Ice-cIad Sum-

The Hague.-Until recently none OF
the many exploring expeditions sent
out by England. Germany and Holland
had ever succeeded in penetrating into
the heart of New Guiana, the great
island which Is partitioned among the
three nations. Swamps, forests and
many other difficulties stood In the
wayo to say nothing of the natives,
who were reputed to be savages de-

Some progress, however, was made.
THE courses of several rivers were de-
Sermined and the existence Of lofty
Gange of mountains was verified. The
goal Of several Dutch expeditions had
been the Orange range, the highest
peak of which had been named VIII
helmina, and considerable information
about it had been obtained. Several
of the explorers claimed to have seen
snoW-covered SUBMITS, but about this
there was a difference of opinion,
some saying that the whiteness might
be due to chla.llkky formations Of rock.
Last year Professor Lorentz and a
small party of Netherlanders set out to
reach these mountains which had
seemed so elusive. The professor was
familiar with the coast regions and
the language of the natives, and he
also had the assistance of the govern

terror, the party succeeded in reach

foothills
Feeling sure that they were pro-
ceeding In the right direction, the
party pushed on In spite of innuder-
able difficulties and at last saw the
glittering goal of their journey in the
far distance. One of the peaks they
discovered was christened Juliana.
Though most Of the members of the
expedition were suffering from fever
contracted in the jungles, they con-
tinued on, leaving all unnecessary
articles behind and establishing sup
