Rare Collection of Rugs.

1T is doubtful" he says, If there
ever will again be offered at public sale,
at least in America, a collection of ORR
entail carpets so representative of the
highest accomplishment. SO impressively
free from fabrics Of mere utility, as that
here assembled. 1t is true that individual
examples NAV oe found In museums and
in other private collections superior in
divers ways to some of the fabrics here
included. 1t is also true that there are
other collections which include the weav-
ipgs of more races and of a broader geo.
graphical area. This apparent limitation
of the present collection was by no means
due 70 oversight on the part of it's maker
but was rather the result of a we'll de-
fined and exacting policy. He aimed to
exclude, ultimately, everything save the
exquisite but problematic Polish carpets
and Persian fabrics made prior to the
seventeenth century, when the art began
TO decline" Adding, certainly it is a
cause for profound regret that this col
lection. which of the writer's knowledge
had barely been begun, could not have
been extended along the lines so wisely
laid down. If its owner had been spared
to accomplish this work Letting and
unsurpassed record would have been es-
tablished of what is even now a lost art"

New York-LeaviDg a trail OF
stranded craft, ruined crops and

tropical hurricane which ravaged the
South Atlantic coast has swept out TO

Savannah was the fist city to report
that the storm had passed oceanward.
Jacksonville followed with word that

While II has been impossible accu-
rately to estimate the loss. 1t is be
lieyed that II will mount into millions.
A singular feature of the reports is
that only fourteen have been added
10 the death list. twelve being reported
from the earlier storm in Pinar del Rio
province, Cuba.
Details of storm damage along the
lower Florida coast are still lacking
owing to the prostration of telegraph
and telephone wires and the Interrupt
ton of railway service south of st.
Augustine.
Reports from Jacksonville. Fla. tell
OF three persons drowned, and of sew
eral million dollars property damage.
Every telegraph wire in Florida south
of Jacksonville Is down. The wind in
that vicinity is blowing at the rate
OF 60 miles an hour, with a very low

The entire party finally was taken
aboard, even to the cat. which was
taken along as a mascot. The Amer
lea was abandoned where the rescue
occurred. in latitude 35.43, longitude
6S.1S
In abandoning their craft the crew
of the airship America lowered them
selves into the lifeboat which swung
beneath it, Then they cast the life
boat OFF and were anoat on the sea
The airship, relieved of the weight of
the lifeboat. shot high into the air
and was blown away rapidly The
transfer of the Wellman party from
the lifeboat to the Trent was made
with great difficulty
At 4:30 a. m. the Trent sighted the
airship America and wireless com
munication was established immedi-
ately Irwin, the operator on the air
ship, informed Ginsburg. operator on
the Trent, that the Americas crew
wished to abandon the balloon Wire
less communication was kept up from
this time on between tie airship and
the steamer.
After a council hello on the airship
II was decided that the best means OF
rescue was TO launch the lifeboat
But this was such a hazardous under
taking that much time elapsed before
the maneuvering was executed, as the
tail of the airship, consisting OF tanks
of gasoline and wooden blocks, threat
ened to capsize the boat as It was
dropped from the balloon into the
water
Immediately on beng released of
the weight of the crew and boat. the
airship shot skyward as the boat shot
downward
Undoubtedly the America has bro
ken all records, both as - time in
air and distance covered. The pre-
vious time record. that of Count Yep
pelin. was 81 hours, The Americas
time up to eight O'clock Tuesday
morning would be three full days. or
72 hours. The previous distance rec
ord wa that of Count Zeppelin. $50
miles
Wellman says, and the members OF
his crew agree with him, that they
might have gone on indefinitely in
the America, but that they had jet
tisoned so much gasoline that they
were short of fuel and thought II
would be foolhardy to venture further.
1t was the unanimous opinion OF all
or the America after they got in the
lane of the Cuban steamers that the
first chance for rescue offered
would be accepted

CARE Of HEALTH At
STATE UNIVERSITY
Medical Advice and Close Super
vision of Students.
REST CURE FOR GIRLS
A Policy Of Prevention Of Serious Sick
ness and Of Any Widespread
Epldemic-New Department
Of Clinical Medicine.

Madison.-The fact that over one
fourth of the total number of students
enrolled at the University of Wisconsin
applied for medical advice during the
past semester and the six weeks Of
summer scholo SHOWS the necessity or
the provisions made last February for
the medical supervision of students
by the new department Of clinical
medicine.
Fourteen hundred students were
given attention by this department.
This is 28.4 per cent Of the entire en-
rollment last year. OF this number SO
per cent had minor ailments or de-
sired advice as to preventive measures
against disease; 10 per cent. had con-
iFacted contagious diseases. including
eight cases Of typhoid; % per cent
suffered from infected wounds, and 10
per cent had met with accidents, such
as fractures. sprains and burns, main
ly due to outdoor sports and mishaps
in laboratories.
The policy of prevention plays an
important part in the new department
of medical supervision. Every fresh
man must undergo a rigid examination
to ascertain his general physical con-
dition. Each professor and instructor
who notices a pupil falling behind in
his studies and suspects the condition
may be caused by some physical de-
feet, Is asked to report the case to the
dean of his department who In turn
informs the medical supervision de-
partment.
Glasses in resting is one Of the
novel features introduced into the gym
nasium work for women. 1t was dis
covered that there was a nervous type
of girl who gets too much exercise and
too little rest. AS four hours of gym
nasium work every week are required
of all freshmen and sophomore women
in the university, classes in resting
we're planned for this type Of over-ex-
ercised girl. In these she is taught
how to relax both mind and body; how
to breathe properly and how to con-
serve her energy.
The vital importance Of thus getting
the student before he is actually con-
fined to his bed, is we'll illustrated by
comparison Of two typhoid epidemics
that visited the university. Several
years ago one student waiter at uni
versity boarding house had walking
typhoid" for several days before he be-
came seriously Ill. All the while he
was waiting upon score or more of
students. AS a result, over twenty
persons contracted the disease and a
number, among them the student
waiter, died.

WELLMAN AGAIN IN PORT
AFTER HIS SEA RESCUE
Crew of Balloon America Reach New
York in Safety-Wiliing to
Try II Again.

New York.-WaIter Wellman and
his five companions were landed here
by the steamship Trent. which picked
them up at sea after they had aban-
doned their dirigible balloon America
and failed In the first attempt ever
made TO cross the Atlantic in diri-
gible balloon. After landing the party
was taken to the Waldorf-AstOria
where Wellman will make his head
quarters for a time.
Barring a few injuries to his right
arm and one of the fingers OF his
right hand, the man who directed this
daring attempt to cross the ocean Il
a gas bag returns in good physical
shape although his nerves are some
what shattered and he has reached
the conclusion that in the present de-
velopment of the dirigible the task
he undertook is hopeless one.
News of the rescue came in two
wireless messages from Capt. Down
OF the Trent, one reporting to the
company agents here and another In
forming the New York Times of the
result of the expedition in which It
had taken a leading part. Both wire
less messages practically told the
same story.
Captain Down reported that at I'VE
o'clock Tuesday morning he first
sighted the airship. Signals OF dis
tress and calls for help were given.

TAFT lNsPEcTs ELLIS ISLAND.
President Seeks New Law Regarding
Landing Of Immigrants.

New York.-A tightening of the
conditions under which steamship
companies are permitted to un-
load immigrants on American shores
will probably result from President
Taft's inspection of Ellis Island. The
bond each steamship is compelled to
furnish may be increased, and the
president has ordered a sharper watch
kept at this port.
A diversion of the main stream of
immigration from New York to the
south is to be sought. The president
believes the big coast cities can be
relieved of a part of the congestion
due to the thrush of foreigners-to
the benefit of smaller places. He al
so suggested that the law provide that
a man Of family arriving here alone
should be examined as to the health
OF his family and if 1t developed that
any of them were physically inca
FACILITATED he should be fully informed
as to whether or not his family as
likely to be admitted

Championship Series
STANDING or WORLDS SERIES.

Philadelphia.-By a score of 9 to
the Philadelphia American league
team took the second game from the
Chicago National players in the sec

ship series.
The American league champions,
who now have won two straight con-
tests. looked superior to their oppo-
nents in both hitting and pitching.
They outhit the Chicagos, fourteen
to nine, and Jack Coombs, who was
opposed by Mordecai Brown, had a
big shade over the latter twirler.
While he did not prove as effective
as Bender, Coombs was unhittable In
the pinches, when he did magnificent
work. Like Bender, he mixed his
curves well, using speed, curves and
q slow one alternately.
Brown did not appear at his best,
as his deceptive curve ball did not
break with the sharpness that it usual
ly does. Brown also lacked the con-
troll and after getting two and three
balls on his opponents he was com

A woeful lack of knowledge OF Uni
versity of Wisconsin freshmen in
even the most rudimentary facts ia
geography is revealed by recent tests
given by the department of geology to
members of classes in photography
Many students did not know where
Nashville, Atlanta, Scranton, Mem
phis and Mobile were. Others had
vague conceptions of the location of
Vienna, Athens. Moscow, Bombay.
Shanghai and Melbourne. while still
others could not even approximately
tell where some of the largest rivers
in the world are.
One of the students insisted that
the Rhine was in Asia and the
Euphrates in South America. Mem
bers of the department of geology de
clare that the secondary schools of
Wisconsin and other cities are not de-
votiLs enough time to instruction in
geography.
