TALES OF
ESCAPED CoNvICTs ADVENTURE

EoCAPED CONNlCTS ADVENTURE
News was received in London on
Saturday of the death of Joseph Cres-
wick, who while fleeing from justice
accomplished one of the most remark
able walking feats on record.
Creswick was undergoing sem
tence for forgery in Rhodesia and
while being conveyed from one prison
to another by train (as reported some
Gaping from his guards. AS his legs
were heavily ironed the task was by
no means an easy one, but one night,
when the train in which he was being
conveyed was between Buluwayo and
Salisbury and his guards were asleep
Creswick quietly opened the carriage
door and jumped out. When he
reached the ground he fell but was
not badly hurt. During the remain
der of the night he shufIled along in
the dark and at daylight could see the
railroad in the distance. He decided
to walk in straight line from it,
which he did for several days, still
with his feet shackled.
Day after day and night after night
he rubbed his irons with the sharp
est pieces of rock he could find until
at last he was able to throw his man
acles aside. After this Creswick went
on with great strides through the un-
known country In which he found
himself, his sole object being to get to
some white settlement.
Some weeks after his escape the
wanderer had wonderful piece of
luck. In a hut apparently belonging
to settler he found gun and some
ammunition, which in the circum-
stances he did not hesitate to take
possession Of With the gun he man.
aged to shoot several zebras and other
animals, which provided him with
many a welcome meal; but unfortu-
nately his gun got out of order be-
fore his ammunition became exhaust
ed and he had to rely upon fruit for
his sustenance.
Just when Creswick was coming to
the conclusion that he had been walk
ink round and round without max
ink much progress he fell with some
natives, who gave him certain direc-
tions as to how to find "a very long
water" which Creswick concluded
must mean the river Congo, and for
several weeks he continued his tramp.
Eight months after his escape
from the train between Salisbury and
Buluwayo Creswick was found by
party of Belgians lying in weak and
feverish condition about two hundred
miles from Leopoldville on the Con-
go. They nursed him back to health
and strength. At Bomba, arrayed in
all the glory of pair of cricket fan
nels and football jersey provided by
his new friends, the fugitive found
ship on which he worked his passage
to Antwerp. From there he got a
ship to London. That, however, led
to his undoing, for while he was walk
ing in Whitechapel he was recognized
by Detective Inspector Belcher of
Scotland Yard, who arrested him on
the charge of escaping from lawful
custody.
He was taken subsequently to Rho
desia as a fugitive offender, and for
his escapade he was sentenced to
further term of six months imprison-
ment, during which he died. London

For the last three years meat has
been cured by electricity in much less
time than was required by the old
method. The meat Is placed in large
wooden tanks and covered with the
ordinary pickle. An alternating cur
rent of thirty-five amperes at thirty
five volts is passed through the vat,
the alterations serving to prevent
electrochemical action. Carbon elec-
trodes are used, which are surround-,
ed by porous cups that dip into the
brine. The cost of curing vatful of
meat $4,000 pounds) is less than 81.
The action of the current is not per-
fectly understood.
Any one who was familiar with the
appearance of the Niagara Falls be-
fore the present power installations
were built and opened can settle the
question as to whether the appearance
of the falls has been affected by going
to see for himself. Small though the
total amount of water taken for pow
er purposes, in proportion to the total
amount passing over the falls, may
be, 1t has been sufficient to cause the
shallower portions of the overflow at
the edges of the falls to become en-
tirely dry, thereby greatly reducing
the total length of the crest line.

for the amateur, new German pro-
cess prepares the ordinary dry plate
by placing 1t in four per cent. solu-
tion Of potassium iodide for two min
utes. The silver bromide is thus con-
verted into non-sensitive iodide, and
after this preliminary operation in a
suitable cloth bag is not affected by
daylight. Being first rinsed, the plate
is developed in equal parts of these
two solutions: (a) water, 600
grammes; anhydrous sodium sulphite,
20; metol, 1; hydroquinone, 8; po-
tassium bromide, 40; (b) A per
cent. solution of caustic potash. The
developing requires about five min
utes, and the fixing-by the usual
process-a little longer than usual.
Divers increase the time that they
can remain under water by little
preliminary deep breathing. A late
experimenter has found that without
preparation he could hold his breath
for only forty-two seconds, but after
one minute of forced breathing he
could hold 1t for two minutes and
twenty-one seconds; after three min
utes, for three minutes and twenty
one seconds, and after six minutes,
for four minutes and five seconds.
The effect of the forced breathing ap-
pears to be freeing of the blood and
body tissues from considerable carbon
dioxide. 1t proves to be undesirable,
however, to continue the forced
breathing more than two or three
minutes, for If it is prolonged the
muscles of the hands become rigid,
and remain completely paralyzed for
a minute or two after holding the
breath begins. In actual practice,
the pearl divers of Ceylon take only
few deep breaths before descending.

prepared, including music by Held s
Concert Orchestra. Every person at
tending the opening will be given

flowers for ladies. The store is one of
the most beautifully ftted-up estab-

cellent showing of bright, new goods, a
very attractive display is made. 1t is
the intention of Mr.. Frank, the proprle-

latest design, and for convenience and
utility are ideal in every way. The IA
cilities for handling business are OF the
best, and a competent and weil-in-
formed sales force has been engaged. A

BRINGS TEARS TO

Rockwell Clancy Tells Women
of Degradation Among
HeathenS Of India.
ARE WORSE THAN SLAVES
INTERESTING TALKS AT AFTER
NOON SESSION OF LAYMEN.

The triumph of the Laymens Mission.
airy movement in Salt Lake came yester-
day afternoon at the mass meeting for
women. When both gallery and main floor
of the First Methodist church were
crowded by women.
From Rockwell Clancy, who has given
twenty years of his life to missionary
work in India, and John F. Goucher, the
noted and Travelled clergyman, the big
cOncourse OF women listened TO stories of
degradation of women among the heath
en-, which made them shudder and pity
their sex in this atrociously non-Christian
country.
Z. When DR.. Clancy pointed out that
there are 26,OO0,OO0 women in India who
are worse than slaves and are subjected
TO the most vicious practices of Hin
duism, his hearers could scarcely con-
template his figures.
DR.. Clancy dramatically described the
CITY of Brindaban, India, where there are
5000 magnificent temples erected in honor
Of Krishna, the god of vice.
Tells Pathetic Stories.
He told the sweet ana ever pathetic
story Of Lilabati Sing the beautiful
young native girl, who was converted to
Christianity. and who. after many years
of successful work among her native sis
tiers, recently died in Chicago. He also
related, in a most touching manner, the
work of DR.. Emma Scott who gave
work in the wicked city, where for years
she stood alone and labOred among the
misguided people. only to return to her
native land a short time ago, broken in
health, but happy in the knowledge of
the good she had accomplished.
The stories of these two women were
deeply touching, and before he had con-
cluded there were many women in the
audience with handkerchiefs pressed to
their eyes, and there was a silence pro-
found.
DR.. Clancy drew a striking juxtapOsition
of the privileges which are accorded TO
the American woman queen and her I'M
fortunate sister in the far east. He ex-
planned in detail the great good accom-
plished, and the inrOads which are being
made for the betterment of WOmanhOOd
In India through missionary work, and
closed with an appeal for support from
American women in the work of refOTma-
tiCn which is being carried on in the
country to which he expects to return
next October, to devote the remainder OF
his life as a missionary.
The speaker touched strongly upon the
white slave traffic in the United States.
and pointed out its RIGHTEOUSNESS.
I'm Gods name" he said, ARE the good
people of this glorious country going To
procrastinate the day when this terrible
white slave industry shall be stamped
out"
At the conclusion of his address DR..
Clancy was met by Mrs. L. N. Gillian,
who was IN the audience. who with tear
stained eyes thanked him for his kindly
reference to Miss Emma Scott Mrs. Gil
Han explaining that she and Miss Scott

Preachers Impractical.

"A man in New York said, Mr.. Head
land, the preachers are not practical
enough. What do you mean?' l inquired.
Well he answered, they tell us about
being saved sometime, somewhere, but We
want something that takes effect right
now The gospel does, l answered.
How he inquired. Have you a filling
in your TOOTH? I asked.
Yes he answered.
We'll, your tooth is saved by the gos-
pei as much as your soul ever will be, for
you can't find a dentist anywhere in the
nome Christian world that can fill and save
decaying tooth The same is true of
your eyes If you have astigmatism. You
can't find an oculist who can fit glasses
to astigmatic eyes. Or suppose you have
broken limb, or arm, or a stomach or
nerves out of order, you will look in vain
throughout the non-Christian world for a
physician or a surgeon who can cure you
zone day one of the court painters in
Pekin came to me and said:
Mr.. Headland l was eating fish in
the palace a few days ago and | got a
fish bone stuck in my throat. One of the
court physicians gave me medicine to dis
solve the fish bone, but it did not dis
solve. Do you suppose one of your physi-
clans could take it Out?'
Il took him over to my friend, DR.. Hop
kins, who lived two doors away. The doc
tor sat him down in front of the window
had him open his mouth, looked into his
throat, saw a little red spot, took a little
pair of tweezers and pulled the fish bone
out. As simple a surgical operation as
that the Chinese court physician could moi
perform.

Statement of Christ.

Jesus Christ said in his last converse
ton with his disciples, All power is given
TO me in heaven and in earth. That is
tremendous statement, and no one that
has ever lived but Jesus Christ would have
dared to make it, but is ii true?
He ordered His disciples to go and
preach and teach all nations. That was
His last command. They went to Italy,
and italy became power. They like
wise went to Spain and Portugal and they
became powers. In a similar way the Cos
pei was taken to Germany, to England
and to America and they likewise soon
became the political powers of Europe
indeed all the political powers of the world
are those-and only those, which have
been developed by the gospel.
LAS the first missionaries went to the
various countries they established schools
-monasteries and nunneries they were at
first, colleges and universities they are in
these days. They began TO teach the peo-
pie, and thus TO develop new power in
the wOrld-the power of the intellect, the
reason, the invention
THE non-Christian peoples studied the
stars, but they never made an astronomy.
They likewise studied the rocks, the flow
ers, the human system, but they never
made a geology, botany or physiology.
Indeed all the sciences, natural and ap-
piled. have been developed by the gospel
of Jesus Christ.
Now scientists tell us that our civili-
cation is the result of our science, but 1
say to you that our science is the result
of our gospel, and hence the civilization
of the world is only a synonym for the
gospel of Jesus Christ. All powerful
scientific power is therefore given unto
