lions as treasured heirloom, reveal
ed that the drawer contained an in

An unusual tragedy occurred at Chill
hwack, B. c., in which James r. Hos
Ken, aged 20, lost his life. Hosken, in
company with Charles Carter, q we'll
known farmer, was driving hogs to
market along a public highway when
the animals became uncomfortable.
One of them attacked him and Hoskin
lost his footing. Other animals i'm
mediately jumped on him and gored
him with their tusks. Carter ran for
help and three men armed with clubs
finally drove off the blood-thiristy
hogs. Hosken died from the shock
and loss of blood. He was son Of
a Church of England clergyman at
Mansfield, England. and had been in
this country but a short time.

Not Altogether a Treat.

Coming out of one OF the large de-
partment stores two well-dressed wom-
en- saw group of street urchins gaz-
ing at their automobile and one little
girl was heard to say: wish | could
have ride in it." The women smiled
and then the child was asked if she
would really like ride and was
helped into the machine after assur-
ing the women that she would not be
missed at home. Her companions set
up a cheer as the machine started and
it returned half an hour later, bring
ing back the little girl. The women
congratulated themselves on having
given the little one an extraordinary
treat, but were disenchanted when
she told them that her father was a
chauffeur and that she liked his ma

Heed the Warning
Many River Falls People Have
Done So.

When the kidneys are sick they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examin-
ing the urine and treating the kid
neys upon the first sign of disorder,
many days of suffering may be saved.
Sick kidneys expel dark, ilI-smell-
ing urine, full of "brickdust" sedi-
ment and painful in passage. Slug
gish kidneys cause dull pain in
the small of the back, headaches,
dizzy spells, tired, languid feelings
and frequent rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only; they cure sick kid
neys, and rid the blood of uric poi
son. If you suffer from any of the
above symptoms you can use no
better remedy.
River Falls people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills.
F. H. Crawford, Main ST., River
Falls, Wis, says: "My back was
lame and | had other symptoms of
disordered kidneys. Upon using
Doan's Kidney Pills, | was soon
restored to good health and since
then | have had no cause for COM
plant"

VIII peveLon Victoria Falls.

A company has been formed to de-
velop the great Victoria falls. on the
zambesi river, in Africa. as a source
of electric energy These falls rank
among the greatest cataracts in ex-
istence The total of the water is
more than 400 feet. At Niagara the
total amount of energy running to
waste has been reckoned at 100000
horsepower, but the corresponding en-.
ergy of the Victoria falls is said to be
no less than 100000 horsepower
When utilized, it is thought that this
energy can be employed for working
a large part of the South African rail.
way and that it can be transmitted by
cable to the gold mines of the Rand,
300 miles and more away.

Improved Interior Photographs.

With the assistance of Messrs H.
d'Osmont and Montpillard, Mr.. PaVie,
French photographer, has succeeded
in obtaining interior photographs IN
the colors of nature by the use of mag
nesium light. The exposures are, OF
course, instantaneous, and the success
of the experiments is based upon the
employment of a special powder COM
posed of magnesium and phosphorus,
which burns with great rapidity, and
specially colored screens. The photo
graphs of moving objects are said to
he surprisingly perfect in all their
colors. The operation is performed as
tp ordinary photography with magne-
Stun light That is to say, the lights
in the room are left burning when the
exposure is made.

Stone Crab Farms of Florida.

the Alone crab. 1t is to southern wa
tiers VIVA the lobster is to northern.

time ago and planted his water farm
with stone crabs to prevent the ex-
tinctkNn Of the species. He is study
ing their wants and habits and be-
lieves he can largely increase their
numbers yearly. Capt. Cason of Pass

The Comma in Law.

The comma is a very Important
item, and, if omitted, the reading mat
ter cuts queer capers. AS an instance,
note the following act of the last leg
islature of Massachusetts: Whoever
operates an automobile or a motor
cycle on any public way laid out I'M
der the authority of law recklessly or
while under the influence of liquor,
or so as to endanger the lives or safety
of the public" etc. Evidently the
reckless motorist can go as he
pleases on highways which have not
been laid out under the influence OF
liquor" Legislators should not only
mind their p's and as, but the periods
and commas.

Transmitting Photographs.

tographs to a distance has recently
been devised. A gelatine negative is
used, in which the picture is formed
in relief. A stylus travels over the
uneven surface of the negative and
operates a rheostat in the main line.
At the receiving station a luminous
ray plays over a sensitized plate, and
the intensity of it's light is varied by
the rheostat. The reliefs and hollows
of the original are thus reproduced in
light and shadow on the sensitized
medium, and form the picture. This
method of transmitting pictures was
recently tried with success on the line
between Paris and Lyons.

Hot Planets.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Nep-
tune-the four outer planets-are hot
ter than the earth. Recent observa-
tons at the Lowell observatory, Sc
cured in the form of photographs of
planetary spectra, show that there is
oxygen in the atmospheres of all four,
and that in the cases of Uranus and
Neptune, hydrogen and perhaps he
lium are unexpectedly present. The
outer planets have water vapor as the
principal constituent of their atmos-
pheres. They probably consist of a
nucleus hot to its surface, yelled in
dense, unbroken clouds, floating in an
atmosphere largely composed of steam.

Germany,s Potato Crop

The potato crop of Germany is near
Iy nine times larger than that of the
United States, being over 45,000,0 900
tons, some four-fifths of which are
used as food or for industrial pur-
poses. Nearly one-tifth are required
for seeding. In the manufacture of
starch and it's by-products about four
per cent. of the total crop is used, and
for distillation about eight per cent.
In Germany there are hundreds of
small concerns in the potato districts
manufacturing potato starch and dex-
trine. These manufacturers obtain DO.
katoes at from 80 to 125 pfennigs
(21.42 to 1915 cents) per unit of SO
kilos, or 10 pounds.

Lamb Kissed His Own Farce.

Lambs unfortunate farce. Mr.. H., +"
has one of the shortest theatrical
titles on record, and it could not pos

life, since it was performed only once.
Lamb, as everybody knows, Missed
and hooted as loudly as any of his
neighbors."
Writing to Wordsworth the follow
ing day he said: "A hundred Kisses
-(damn the word write it like
kisses--hoW differentD-a hundred
Kisses outweigh a thousand claps.
The former come more directly from
the heart. Well, it's withdrawn and
there is an end" But it is to be OBJ
served that he did not curse his audi
ence, as your modern playwright
would have done, for Lamb happened
to be 2 sound and sane critic of his
own work.
