Captain Gordon and his 34 men left the ship so hastily that only the ships equipment was saved
 The deserted ship was 40 miles from the nearest land, St. Paul Island. ta The sea was running high and the air bitterly cold. The men suffered in : tensely. For hours they battled des- perately and three of thems died be- fore sand was reached.
 safe landing was made and the men discovered near the crater of an S60-foot volcano stone house built in 1893 and filled with provisions by the crew of the French vessel of war Eure. Here they found in cans, in iron hooped barrels. preserved meat, bis cults, wool underwear, blankets and matches.
 Upon these supplies they subsisted and kept themselves fairly warm for three weeks. -ay and night a watch was kept for a passing vessel and on January II the British transport came in view and rescued them.

NOTHING DONE AT
WATER MEETING

About 25 citizens attended the
melting held at the courthouse last ev-
ening for the purpose of discussing
the water situation.
The gathering was called to order
by Commissioner Haviland who stat
ed the object of the meeting to be to
allow taxpayers to meet Engineer
Hines and discuss in an informal man
ner the matter of establishing a new
waer system or purchasing the pres
ent plant.
In reply Mr.. Hines stated that he
had secured the data for estimating the
cost of new water system and of ap-
praising the value of the present
plant, and started to tell of other sys-
TENS in the middle west with which he
was familiar. He got as far as to tell
of alum being added to the water in
small quantities, when he was abruptly
halted by a taxpayer present, who OBJ
jected to alum in any form, stating
that to his knowledge it was the
practice of certain dishonest bakers to
put alum in their bread and that its
effect was bad on the human system.
Several of the gentlemen present had
evidently fortified themselves for the
occasion and were in better condition
to discuss the relative merits of most
any fluid except water, unless the lat
ter were to be used as Chaser
C. b. Brown finally succeeded in
gaining the floor, when he inquired of
Mr.. Hines what would be the cost of a
new system, adequate to supply the
town with an abundance of water, and
what was his idea of the value of the
present system. To this quesry Mr..
Hines replied that he was not pre-
pared to answer the questions at the
present time That while he had Sc
cured the required data, his estimates
could not be given until he had made
the necessary mathematical calcula-
tions. That he should return to Kan
sas City Sunday Afternoon and upon his
arrival would 60 TO work on his field
notes and have his entire report ready
to submit to the February meeting of
the county commissioners.
After considerable talk of desul-
tory nature, the meeting dissolved
shortly after O'Clock.

Miss Rowena Conner.


1t will be found almost impossible
TO drive thin steel nails into hard
wood, for the moment you hit them
hard enough TO puncture the wood
they bend over on themselves
Many people employ the use of a
small gimlet to bore the hole destined
20 hold the nail. and few people know
that If yellow soap is rubbed on the
nail it can be driven in the hardest
wood with ease.
This trick was learned by carpen
ter, who discovered 1t accidentally.
Now whenever he Is working with
hard wood he keeps cake OF soap
near by and sticks 1t full of nails,
using them as he needs them.
He also has deep hole cut In the
handle of his favorite hammer and
keeps 1t filed with soap In which to
stick the nails II the cake Of soap Is
not conveniently near.

tion, as well as details as to cost and
total investment, Of all railroad prop

The latest idea for raising water
for fire-extinguishing purposes TO the
uppermost floors of tall buildings is
to lift the hose by means of the pas
senger or freight elevators. A simple
attachment is provided for afTixing the
hose to the floor of the elevator, the
pipe being coiled up in the bottom Of
the shaft so as to be easily raised.
In recent demonstration at Mem
phis, Tenn, says Popular Mechanics.
It was said that the water arrived at
the sixth floor Of a building practical
ly as soon as the floor was reached
by the elevator, and the fire chief of
that city recommended the compul-
sorry adoption of the device by all
buildings provided with elevators. The
hose is inserted In the attachment
about two sections behind the dis
charge nozzle. these sections being
coiled on the elevator floor.
