DEATH BY DROWNING.
Sinking and Rising Depend on the
Water In the Lungs.

Sinking and Rising Depend on the
Water In the Lungs.
A group of old salts at Sailors Snug
Harbor were discussing the popular
belief that a drowning person must
come to the surface of the water three
times before he can possibly drown.
"Well," said Captain Tom Morgan
"there is little ground for that suppo.
sition. The truth is, a drowning per-
son may sink the first time, never to
rise again. or he may, as-rin the ma.
jority of cases. rise three times before
he sinks forever.
at all depends on the quantity OF
water that he swallows when he sinks
and the size of his lungs The human
body In life naturally floats while the
lungs are inflated, So long as one
keeps his head above the water he can
float with very little effort
But as soon as the person sinks he
gulps down lot Of water. If after
he has swallowed this water he has
any air left in his lungs he will I'M
doubtedly rise again and will continue
to sink and rise until all the air has
been worked out of bis lungs.
"In most cases the frightened victim
swallows enough water when he sinks
the first time to leave him exhausted,
but as there is still air left in the lungs
he soon finds himself on the surface
again. Each time he sinks, however,
the supply Of air in his lungs grows
less until ultimately there is nothing
left to support him. when he will
drown."-New York Herald

SEARCH FOR BURIED GOLD
Excitement Rife Among Effingham
County, Georgia, People.

bingham county, Georgia, has been
digging gold in earnest Some months
ago a fortune teller in Savannah told
a man who lives in the county that
there was a jar, containing $4,000 in
gold, which had been buried during
the revolutionary war, just six feet
from a certain walnut tree on the farm
now owned by Jasper Newton, of that
county. More recently the rumor that
a Jar of gold was buried in that vicin-
ity gained considerable credence in the
section. The rumor finally developed
into a gold-digging party. Consent to
search in the vicinity of his walnut
tree was secured from Mr. Newton.
The searchers dug in alternate reliefs,
continuing their investigations day
and night
Mr. Newton says that he himself
was not affected in the least by the
gold rumor, except that he dreamed
one night that he saw "a full CARLOAD
of gold" but others in the community
had case of gold fever, and had 1t
bad.
AS a consequence of the search, Mr.
Newton is minus a very valuable wal
nut tree, while several citizens of the
Pine Grove community have wrought
well and are wiser

An English observers data indicate
that there is a relation between the

The reason is that the presence OF
dust serves as an obstruction to the

The sunbeams pass through very pure,
clear air without lending much heat to

the ground during the day readily es-
capes through the same air, but II the
atmosphere is heavily laden with dust
the suns rays are partly arrested by

Without its atmosphere, which serves
as coverlet to protect it against the
fearful cold of space, the surface OF
the earth would be frozen like that of
the airless moon. But the data gath

the atmospheric blanket wrapped
around our planet varies in its power
to retain heat in proportion to the
amount of dust particles it contains
