SAVED THE SHIPS CREW.
Daring Rescue by Heroic Newfound-
land Fisherman.

land fisherman.
Sir Edward Morris. prime minister
or Newfoundland. tells in the Wide
World magazine remarkable story Of
herotsm on the part of Newfound-
land fisherman. The name of this man
was George Harvey. and he resided in
a low, rocky island, few miles east
of Cape Ray.
In those days the emfgrant ships to
were crowded with passen-
rers. In the autumn of 1882 the brig
Dispatch, bound to Quebec. with 163
souls. In a gale Of wind, struck a rock
about three miles from Harvey's home.
He heard the signals of distress and
Immediately launched his boat with
bis boy of twelve. his girl of seventeen
and his dog, and tried to get out to
the wreck. On the deck OF the doom
ed shin were crowded the crew and
Messengers. In Imminent peril of their
lives. A terrible sea ragged between
his boat and the wrecked ship. but
across that awful waste Of water the
gallant fisherman and his brave chill
dren urged their fratl skiff. TO get
close to the stranded ship was to court
instant destruction. and the task OF
saving those OIL board seemed well
nigh hopeless, but Harvey's noble
Newfoundland dog. with marvellous in
telligence, seemed to understand what
was required of him and at signal
from his master sprang out of the
boat and swan toward the ship. The
seas overwhelmed him and drove him
back, but he persevered and finally
came near enough. The sailors threw
him rope. which he gripped with bis
sharp teeth, and ut last he got back to
his master and was drawn into the
boat almost dead from exhaustion.
Communication was now established
between the ship and Harvey's skin,
and with the most laborious efforts eV-
cry soul was saved.

Keokuk's Big Water Power.

The worlds greatest hydro electric
dam is building at Keokuk, Iowa, across
the Mississippi river to Hamilton, ILL.,, a
distance of a mile. II will be ready TO
distribute 1000 horsepower in electric
ity TO cities 200 miles away in 1913. This
dam is private project under Govern
ment regulation. The Government was
interested in the improvement Of the Up
per Mississippi channel and gets free OF
cost from the power company an i'm
proved canal and lock and drydock and
an eight-foot channel for 90 miles. The
improvement would cost $5,000,000 if
made by the Government. The MissisS-
ippi River Power Company, which is do
ing the work, already has made 99-year
contracts with public service companies
OF ST. Louis for the supply Of 10000
horsepower.
From this project much is hoped. A
200-mile radius embraces most of the
States OF Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.
East st. Louis, Springfield, Rockford,
Galesburg, Peoria, Joliet, Quincy, Du-
buque, Des Moines, Clinton, Cedar Rap
ids, Rock Island and Bloomington are
among cities that will easily be served.

westward lately TO be nearer the centres

LIVES SAVED BY TELEPHONE.
One Man Drank Poison, and Another
Severed Four Arteries.

Within the last several days two lives
have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. w. Lentz, of Orders, Breth-
rem minister, took poison by mistake tor
his medicine. No physician being here,
his family got instruction from a distant
physician. Antidotes were administered
and his life was saved.
William Mionich, in Pendleton county,
tried TO cut bullet from the breach Of a
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
OF bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, at
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave instnc-
tions over the phone. Another life was
saved. Mr.. Mionich is IS years old.
So daily are valuable lives preserved
and saved by the use of the Jefferson
County Telephone.

County Corn Contests.

The college of agriculture OF the
State university has been interesting
the county superintendent of schools
and others in organizing county corn
contests for the boys and girls. The
college of agriculture sends out some
first class seed and directions to each
contestant and the local organization
offers liberal premiums for the best
exhibits to be made at county shows
to be held next fall.
For several years three or TOUR
counties have been holding these con.
tests, but this year fourteen counties
have already sent in the names OF
600 members. The counties organ
lied and the number of members en-
rolled in each are as follows: Brax-
ton, 165; Gilmer, so; Greenbrier, 12O;
Hardy, 80; Harrison, 125; Lewis, $50;
Monongalia, 60; Monroe, 100; Nichol-
as, 21O; Pocahontas, 90; Preston, $50;
Putnam, so; Tyler, 40. and Wetzel, 800.
With the teaching of agriculture re-
ouired in the schools these contests
form a fitting supplement to the work
of the school room, giving the boys
and girls an incentive to study the
fundamental principles of agriculture
at first hand and arousing their inter
est in better corn and more per acre

Rones of the Ear.

Vibrations of the eardrum are coniniu-
uicateJ TO the inner ear by means OF tnree
exceedingly small bones, one OF when IS
called the stirrup. When this particular
little bone is displaced, however slightly,
the patient hears sounds which are SUD-
iective. or, to use palmer terms, NOISES
confined exclusively to the auditory ap-
naratIs AID not heard by others. These
sounds frequently seem like wind whist
ling through crevice or buzzing such
as one hears when passing under a net
work of wires on a windy day. Other
sounds of similar subjective origin are
classified as musical. They take the
form of ringing bells, trumpet blasts or
gan notes and the piping OF birds. sun
another forms conveys to the patlen'
sounds such as frogs make as they SIT on
logs and like the shouts OF crowd at a
baseball game.
DR.. Marage, a famous French aurlSt, re-
Gently laid before the Academy OF Sci
ences in Paris the results of his study OF
a thousand cases of this general sort. He
has found TINT the nerves OF the ear in
certain cases maintained the conducting
position which they assumed when they
transmitted the sound of a ringing bell or
like sound, and, like an electric button
out of position, kept the bell vibrations
from being interrupted. Other SOUNDS
were produced by the persistent excIta-
ton of the auditory nerve centers. High
frequency electrical currents and vloratory
massage have been used by leading spec
ialists in the treatment OF ear troubles IN
these several conditions, and the results
have been encouraging.

rejected sutton. He drew magazine
gun and fired two shots. Only one was
necessary, for at the first shot both man

Bosso'S back, plowed through his heart
and found an exit close 10 the breast OF
the victims betrothed. A slight flesh
wound was made in the right breast of
the girl and as Bosso pulled the girl
down with him their blood mingled in a
little pool on the floor. Although fright
ened, the girl chung to the body OF her
slain lover. A crowd chased Filliangan,
but he succeeded in eluding his pursuerS.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Farmers bulletin No. 44O, just Is
sued by the United States department
of agriculture, gives an account Oh ex-
periments made by Professors Scout
and Quaintance in Georgia and west
Virginia in spraying peaches with SELL
boiled lime-sulphur mixture for the
control of the brown rot and scaD'
with the arsenate of lead for the CUT
culio. AS a result in their work IN
Georgia an orchard where the un-
SPRAYED fruit had GO per cent ahected
with the brown rot, SO per cent al
fected with scab, and 9712 per cent In
iured by curculio, that which had been
sprayed showed only Az per cent In
jured by brown rot, 61s per cent IN
iured by scab and 2715 per cent injured
by curculio, or practical elimination OF
the injury of the diseases and control
of over two-thirds OF the injury by the
curculio. In the orchard OF l.. +.
Miller G. Bros. at Okonoko, w. va
experiments were made on ElDerIa'
Salway and Bilyeu peaches. Two
sprayings with self-boiled lime-sulphur'
with arsenate of lead added to the
first spraying, reduced the amount ol
injury to fruit by scab, so that IN
stead of practically all being scaoDV
as on the unsprayed trees only ~ per
cent was affected and only per cent
was badly affected. The same spray
ing reduced the rot in the SalWay
variety from 81 per cent to about z
per cent.
The results OF several years ex-
periments reported in this bulletin
show that these serious enemies ol
profitable peach growing may be'prac-
tically controlled by two or three
sprayings. Every peach grower VINO
has not received the bulletin should
at once write to his congressman or
TO the department of agriculture
Washington, D. c., for copy, as II Is
sent free to all applicants. The Dui'
letin gives full directions for making
and applying the self-boiled lime
sulphur, which are exceedingly simple
but space does not permit their quota
ton here.
