TROUBLED by the inroads the dis
i ease is making in some of the
eastern states at the present time,
the government has ordered an inves-
tigation into the epidemic of infan-
tile paralysis. New York, Pennsyl-
lvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
and the city of Washington, D. c.,
have felt the disease the heaviest
this year, and the scores Of deaths
that have occurred among the little
ones of that district has caused Uncle
Sam to take some action.
DR.. Wyman Of the Public Health
and Marine hospital service, is the
header in the investigation, and he
made the announcement this week
that he believes the disease to be both
INFECTIOUS and contagious. Although

Deafness Is caused by an infamed condition OF the

tube is innamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result and unless the Inflammation be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal cond

out OF ten are caused by Catarrh. which Is nothing

Pipe Gives Cadet Typhoid.

Midshipman Smith, who was strick-
en- with typhoid fever on the Indiana
at Plymouth, England, contracted the
disease, it is said, from smoking a
briar used nearly a year ago by his
roommate at Annapolis who had bad
case Of typhoid. This theory is taken
as proof that concentrated nicotine
cannot destroy a typhoid germ. The
medical department of the navy will
examine into the theory with the de-
suit that midshipmen of the future
may confine themselves to their own
pipes.

How LiuhtnInc Splits Trees.

Lightning makes trees explode, like
overcharged boilers The fame of the
lightning does not burn them up, nor
does the electric flash split them like
an ak. The bolt flows through into all
the damp interstices of the trunk and
into the hollows under it's bark. All
the moisture at once is turned into
steam, which by its immediate explo-
sion rips open the tree. For centuries
this simple theory puzzled scientists,
but they have got in right at last.

PEARYS BIRTHPLACE

Love Of Sea and Adventure an Inner

Ever Since He Was Young
Naval officer.

JohnEtown, Pa-The movement from
Maine to Cambria county, in the ffties,
which brought to this district the
prominent Barker and other families,
also made 1t possible for Cresson,
nearly the highest point in the county.
to claim the honor Of having been the
birthplace Of Lieut.. Robert Edmund
Peary. most daring and most per-
sistsnt Arctic explorer of modern
times and claimant for the title Of
DiscoVerer of the Pole. The father OF
Peary was not bothered about polar
discovery. The building of shook
shops" and the manufacture and ship
ment Of shook and slaves to many
distant points was his life work.
Maine afforded ample opportunity for
the lumber industry with its vast tim
Der acreage, but for some reason the
elder Psary thought Cambria county,
Pa. also a virgin wooded land, better
suited for his purpose, so he located
at q point now generally admitted to
be on the outskirts Of Cresson.
PsAry's naval career sheds an inter
esting light on the question of in
hsrited traits and predictions. The
elder Peary, an Englishman, trans
planted to Maine, came from forbears
who loved the sea. For some reason
he did not share this fOndness for the
bounding wave and deliberately left
the shore line for life far in the in.
terror, away from ev9n inland lakes.
But after his fathers death Robert
q. Peary. then a little boy, was taken
back to Maine by his mother, and as a
result OF his life on the coast and his
education the youDgster instinctiveIy
went back TO the life of his ancestors.

land ports, the coming and going Of
clipper ships, laden with Maine lum-
Der and many other products, by sug-
gestion and appeal aroused in the
youth love Of the sea and its adven-
lures. Lieut.. Peary's distinct ambi-
ton to discover the pole is known to
have been born in him as q result Of
the Greeley expedition and its relief.
He was then a young officer In the
navy, as were a number of those
prominent IN the work OF exploration
at that time, and hence the glory
which now shines upon the water arm
of Uncle Sans military service by
reflection.
II is strange how soon we are for
gotten. People who knew Lieut.
Peary's father are not now certain OF
his Christian name. Charles H.
Peary Of Chest Springs, a cousin of
the explorer and who spells his name
Perry, calls the Heutenant's father
Charles Peary. Ex-Judge A. V. Bark
er of Ebensburg is certain his name
was George. 1t has been suggested
that perhaps his name was George
Charles PeaTy. However that may
be. Mr.. and Mrs. Peary on coming into
this county located In the woods near
what is now Cresson, where Peary
established shook shop. A house
standing on the turn of the road from
Cresson to Loretto, about 100 yards
from the town, is now generally 40
eepted by the people Of the county as
occupying part of the site Of the orig
inal Peary home, and is said to actu.
ally include fragment of the old
building.
It was In that house that Robert =.
PeaFy was born, and there, two or
three years later, his father died.
Frank O'Hara, an old farmer living IA
Munster township, recalls Peary's
birth clearly and tells a story of the
elder Peary sending a messenger in q
conveyance to point some distance
away to fetch a physician. xiii the
horse If you have to-" Mr.. Peary Is al
legged to have said to the driver, 'but
get the doctor here IN q hurry" And
it's another reminiscence Of OyHara
that the elder Peary, who died at Gal
litizin, was buried amid a blizzard.
THAT was like the north pole itself"
says the aged Munster man. Peary
was buried at Cape Elizabeth, Me.
The only basis for the claim that
Peary was born at Chest Springs is
the residence there Of his cousin.
Charles H. Peary's father, James
Peary, came from Maine about the
same time as George Peary did, but
instead of locating at Cresson, settled
at Chest Springs and there hts chill.
