MANS SIGHT IS RESTORED
Fall Against Door Gives George Nor
gan Hope for Complete
Recovery.

Wilmington, Del.-Becoming totally
blind fourteen weeks ago, George
M. Morgan Jr., aged twenty-three
years, 1851 East Thirteenth street, had
his sight restored to him through an
accident. About eleven years ago Nor
gan was struck in one eye with a
stone a small boy had thrown at a
freight car. His sight was badly af-
fected and last September he went
to st. Joseph's hospital in Baltimore
to have his eye treated. While sitting
in his boarding house fourteen weeks
ago he suddenly became totally blind
without any warning whatever.
He came to this city to visit his
parents on June 20, and he tripped
over a rug and fell, his forehead strfk-
ng a door-jamb with much force.
When he arose he found that he could
see the daylight and later develop
ments showed that he could see bet
ter than before he went to the hos
pital last var.
He intends to return to the hos
pital to continue the treatment, al
though the physicians told him they
did not think he ever would be able
to see again. His mother was at
market at the time Of the accident
nd could not believe her sons glad
declaration when she returned until
he told her the color of her hat and
dress and described other things ID

Evidence is also provided of the lack

to marry them more as a matter Of

'Some Of my friends were present

complimented me and told me that
ought to make marrying a business.
After that I did not decline to Offer
my services whenever a couple came

has caught the scientific spirit of the time and
IS getting practical results from his realization
OF the fact that methods must accommodate
themselves to changing conditions.
At the annual convention of the American
institute OF Electrical Engineers held recently
IN Boston, the electrical farm was considered in
paper by Putnam A. Bates. He discussed in
some detail the work now being done by farm
ers who are developing the arid districts Of the
west showing that irrigation and electricity are
the two factors that promise most for the future
where natural conditions for the most part
against the farmer Irrigation came first and
then the advantages of electric power pumping
were realized The socalled electrical farm has
been in existence for dozen years or more but
1t Is only recently that there has been an organ
lied effort to disseminate knowledge on the prac-
ucal use of electricity in agriculture.
Referring to the southwest and to the cleo
trio farm as he found 1t there, Mr.. Bates says:
In some sections of that wonderfully fertile
country, we'll protected by the high mountain
ranges, practically every farm is an electric
farm. Thta is to say, the buildings are lighted
by electricity and many of the laborious opera
lions are accomplished by the use of electric
power. These really were our first electric farms

go lossi in Water-Logged Plain
of Old Memphis.

Cairo, Egypt. - Another sphinx,
weighing ninety tons, and carved from
single block Of alabaster, has been
unearthed at a point between the
world-famed Colossi, on the water
logged plains Of Memphis, in Egypt.
For hundreds of years it has lain in a.
recumbent position buried beneath the
sands on the road to Sakkareh. To-
day it is half-exposed to view, and
next year it is to be raised to verti-
cal position above the water-line.
This newly found sphinx was betray-
ed in it's hiding place by it's tail, which
Mr.. Mac kay, one Of the students of the
British School in Egypt, discovered
about a year ago. This year, when
the water on the plain subsidized, the
complete figure was excavated, and
was found to measure some fourteen
feet in height and twenty-six feet in
length. Alabaster being rock foreign
to the neighborhood, the new sphinx
ranks as the largest that has ever
been transported. The figure bears no
inscription, but is considered by Prof.
Flinders Petrie, the director of the
British School in Egypt, to have been
carved about 1900 B. G.. Many other
remarkable discoveries, taking the
mind back as far as $500 B. c., and
lifting the veil Of centuries from
Egypt's romantic story, have also been
made by the same school, and, with
the exception of red granite group
of Rameses II and the god Ptah, which
will be sent direct to the Ny Carlsberg
Museum at Copenhagen, and a few
other details, are now on exhibition at
University College, Cover street. They
include many objects quite new to
Psychologists.
Among these are collins made CT
basket work, reeds or withes, sandal
trays, an axe handle, in which the grip
is composed of delicately knotted
string, pot of unburnt incense for a

COLLIES TO HERD REINDEER
Uncle Sam Hires BIue-BIooded Scions
to Teach the Plebeian CANNES
of Alaska.

Seattle, Wash.-Lass and Major,
blue-blooded collies, who date their
ancestry back to the coming of some
Collie William the Conquerer to Bon
ME Scotland, have been hired by
Uncle Sam to educate the dogs Of
Alaska. Their particular field of activ-
ity will be instructing collies, shep-
herds and huskies of the wild north
in the herding Of government rein
deer.
When the steamship St. Helens sails
from this port Lass and Major as well
as four other collies of less aristo-
cratic strain will be passengers. They
will be in charge Of A. N. Evans, su-
perintendent of the northwest district
for the department of education.
Among the places they will visit will
be st. Michael, Teller and st. Law
renee island.
At the last local bench show Lass
and Major took blue ribbons and spe-
cial prizes against the field. They
were purchased from Mrs. A. Stinson
Of this city recently, and Major made
the transfer memorable by falling into
the hands of the pound master. He
was rescued from prison by W. T.
Lopp, chief of the Alaskan division,
department of education, very much
sofled and worn out with his adven-
lures about the city. At herding COL
lies excel every breed Of dog known
to man, and Lass and Major, being
almost intelligent enough to speak
English, are expected to accomplish
wonders with the native dogs of the
north. Some doubt is expressed wheth-
er or not they will readily learn the
Eskimo and Indian dialects of north
ern dogdom, but Mr.. Lopp and Mr..
Evans think that short acquaintance
in Alaska will make them proficient
In tongues.

SAVED FROM RUIN
Undermining of Winchester Cath
edral Stopped by Cement.
For Many Years the Historic Buildinu
Has Been Cracking, Bullying and
Settling, Threatening to COL
lapse Completely.

London.-After period of eight
centuries, Winchester cathedral now
rests on a solid and immovable foun-
dalton, saved from threatened ruin.
Almost every day in the last few years
the movements of diver in regula-
ton dress have been watched with Gu
r1ous interest as he entered or emery
ed from the water beneath the founda-
lions of the cathedral He was at
work helping to save from ruin one Of
England's noblest historic buildings,
and the successful issue of the under
taking has been celebrated by a.
thanksgiving service in the cathedral.
For several years the dean and chap
ter OF Winchester had been watching
om1nous signs, such as cracks, bulg-
lngs and settlements, sure harbingers
OF collapse of the cathedral. From
the interior daylight could be seen
through the cracks; the latter grew
ever wider and wider. The walls on
the south side and the Norman tran
septs, unequaled for their majestic
simplicity, were riven in all directions.
The massive masonry Of the Norman
builders had from the beginning
proved too ponderous for the watery,
compressible soil which forms the
foundation.
The first hole dug into the founda-
tons revealed the cause of the whole
rouble-water-and acting on expert
advice, holes were dug in sections
through the top soil and chalk and far
through the peat. Then it was the
work Of the diver in his usual diving
dress to enter the hole, remove further
layers of peat so as to allow the water
to rise into the cavity, and then to lay
B. flooring of cement to prevent the Wa
ter from sinking back into the gravel.
After the imprisoned water had been
removed, by pumping the cavity was
filled up with brickwork in cement.
This extended from the floor laid by
