FUL EXPERIENCE.
The Steamer South Shore Wrecked
in Great Storm on Lake Superior
Last Sunday.


Last Sunday.
Survivors who reached Sault Ste
Marie, Mich, Tuesday, told thrilling
stories of their last moments on the
steamer South Shore, and Of their
escue by life-savers just before the
boat plunged to the bottom OF Lake
Superior, near Grand Marais Sunday.
II have sailed the lakes for years
and have never before encountered
such an experience as 1his." said Ar
thur King, fireman on the steamer.
1T was not long after the boat
struck the heavy seas that her seams
opened and the water poured through
them. Two men and their wives
we're aboard as passengers. The wo-
men were remarkably cool, but they
did not know their real danger. We,
DOWN below, knew We we're right IN
the graveyard Of the lakes.
"The windows were soon smashed
and the stern torn away. As the boat
began to fill the fires got low. l was
standing in water Up to my waist and
deck hands passed coal. AS soon as
they would get pile OF it together
water would wash it away and finally
We threw into the fire boxes, num-
Der of pads Of hard coal we were
carrying as freight.
"All night We tossed around the
lake In that condition. Just before
neon Sunday the life-saVers on
shore, six miles away. saw our white
flag and came to the rescue. We al!
jumped into the life-savers' boat and
made for the shore. The wheelsmar
lashed her wheel and headed hel
straight for shore. She started In as
prettily as anything you ever saw
and then suddenly dropped out o1
sight"

"Our Degenerates.

While referring to the matter of Yer
mont's degenerates in his retiring mes
sage, Gov. John Abner Mead spoke OF
segregation of detectives. Altogether
The Messenger believes that the real
way to meet the trouble is at it's very
fountain head, and by legislation reduce
the possibility of the reproduction Of
the unfit, it agrees that there must be
some definite action taken in regard to
the detectives already born.
Separate the fit from the unfit. That
is good way. The following is a plan
drawn up by noted Englishman to do
this very thing. With some slight modi-
fications it might well apply to the
United States or to Vermont alone.
Says Dr. Ewart; The medical officers
attached to the different schools, and act
ing in conjunction with the teachers,
should notify to the asylums committee
of the country all the mentally deficient
children, These should then be certi-
fled before magistrate and be sent to
some farm or industrial colony until
the age of twenty-one, when they again
should be examined by some expert body
appointed for the purpose, and a decision
arrived at as to whether they should be
allowed out into the world or be segre
gated for life. The main rea

son for making sthe age twenty-one is
that thsre are large number OF dull
and backward children whose mental
condition closely resembles that OF fee
Bile mindedness, but whose state is really
due to faulty environment, lack OF
nutrition, etc, and is not inborn. These
under favorable conditions would become
average-may be of more than average
intelligence and really take their place
in the world and in time beget healthy
offspring
This is a plan of segregation that ap-
peals OF course it would cost some
money, but it costs the state money IN
a hundred different ways to protect it,
self against its enemies, and its unfit
citizens are among its greatest enemies
and menacas. Dr. Ewart thinks that the
plan would without hardship stamp out
the evil in three generations. He urges
that the children be taken when they are
young that they may be eontented in
their easy confinement.
There is another way the state could
help itself a great deal in this matter.
That is to make a clean bill of health
an essential to marriage. These are
things that the legislature of Vermont,
either the one now in session or one of
those coming later. will be forced to deal
with, and il is none too early to take up
the work.-St. Adams Messenger.

PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR OPEN RIVER

Wara Wana, Wash, Aug 26.-
Professor w. d. Lyman, of Whitman
College, who has been spending his
summer vacation in the interests Of
the open Columbia river, returned
from an extended tour of this state
and oregon, during which he has de-
uvered addresses on the subject, and
reports everything favorable for the
completion of the work on the river
10y the time the Panama canal is
ready for use in 1915.
While absent from the city, Mr.,
Lyman visited in Vancouver, Port
land, Raymond and South Bend, and
found the people of those cities en-
tEusiastic in the movement. He eX-
presses the belief that one more good
appropriation will complete the work
at Cello, and the jetty at the mouth
of the Columbia. The sum of $42,-
OOO, 900 will be available next year for
the rivers and harbors work, and it is
thought the Columbia will receive
enough to insure an open river by the
time the Panama canal is completed
in 1915.
The work in the Columbia river ba-
sin is being organized for the purpose
of securing funds with which to carry
on the campaign, and in South Bend
the Southwestern Washington Devel-
opment League has been organized A
meeting is to be held in that city Au-
gust 29-Sl, which Professor Lyman
expects to attend. and the movement
Is expected to receive substantial sup
port.
Mr.. Lyman also visited Seattle
Everett and Mount Vernon while alb.
sent from the city. and reports al
communities in sympathy with the
movement for an open river.

FORBIDS ALL WOMEN
TO ATTEND FUNERAL

Mount Carmel. Ill.-There were no
women at the funeral of Milton r. II.
Kirkendall. who died at Brownsville,
Ind. This was in accordance with
written instructions he left in regard
to his burial.
He was one of the most eccentric
characters ever known in this part OF
the country. He was well educated.
He was a son of Baptist preacher
of the old school He was never mar
ried, and for many years had lived
alone on a small farm. After the old
mans death his friends found among
his papers the directions for burial.
at Is my wish that Mr.. George II.
Loman Sr.. with one-horse wagon,
drawn by the old brown mare, shall
carry me on my last journey. / re-
quest the following named gentlemen
to act as pallbearers: John b. Wilder,
Thomas Martin, Charles A. Canine, w.
r. Glen, William r. James and Gus
Monroe.
"All others than the above-named
and the grave diggers, are forbidden
to attend, either as helpers or spec
tators All women, without regard to
age or social or financial position, are
requested to make themselves conspic-
uous by their absence.
There will be neither religious nor
fraternal exercises at my burial on ac-
count of the Hypocrisy of the one and
the unfeeling formality of the other.
No preacher shall have occasion to
give me credit for virtues that my
sorrowing friends would remember
that / did not possess, neither shall
any fraternal association be given an
opportunity to hold picnic and jubi-
lee over the remains of one they never
knew.
"As last request, / desire these
gentlemen above named to be a COM
mttee to see that every request men
toned above shall be faithfully car
ried out "

ORIGINAL STANDPATTER
FOUND IN SOUTH

Washington, ID. C.-Dr. Leonard
Stejneger. head curator at the Nation
al museum, is the hspplest man in
America. He has skink 1t was
not brought by the stork, but by Mr..
Wood, well-known taxidermist, who
found it in Florida.
The skink is not a-well, 1t is need
less to say-as his name would indi-
cate. He does not belong to the cat
family. His scientific name is leoseps
reynoldsi. In appearance the skink
Is not unlike an elongated lizard. He
has four legs, which he does not use,
they having become paralyZed from
lack of exercise
Therefore Dr. Stejneger claims
that the skink is "A stanlpatter and
not progressive. In fact, it is the
concensus of opinion at the Nation
al museum, where the skink is on
exhibition. that he is the original
standpateer. He gets his food by lay
ing in wait, with his sticky tongue eX-
tended for something to come along.
He'lives by waiting and hauling in
The degenerate pins attached to
leosops sides indicate that his remote
ancestors walked. The present day
specimen walks not, nor does he fly,
but swims in the sand where he lives.
The only resemblance of the skink
to the bull moose is that he dives
The bull moose fond of certain roots
and to get them he throws himself
headlong into lakes. The skink dives
in the sand To catch insects.
Being a reptile and cold-b -blooded,
the skink does not need much air.
He spends much time in sand beds
far removed from the busy world. If
chased by an enemy or annoyed by
progressive neighbors he goes to COW
er in a sand pile.
From the standpoint of the scien-
lists. the skink is most interesting be-
cause he resembles skinks found in
Persia and the Mediterranean. max
ing the old world and the new close
kin.
Experts at the Nationa! museum say
that the modesty of the skink. coupled
with his ability to swim through sand
many inches deep. has made him a
stranger to science in this country.
His kind is plentiful in Florida, but
the fact has just been discovered.
The skink when grown is about
five inches long and very slender. he
is of variety of colors.
