The Lawrence, Perry's flagship, begaI
to suffer dreadfully under the concentrated
tire of the enemy. First one gun and ther
another was dismounted. The masts were
broken. The rigging of the vessel was
rent away. The sails were torn to shreds
Soon she yielded no longer to the wind
but lay helpless on the water.
"On the deck death held carnival TIL,
American sailors lay dead and dying OF

range and ineffectively. Elliott, the cap
tain of that vessel, perceiving that re.
sistance from the Lawrence had ceased,
now sailed ahead, believing that Perry
had fallen and that the command had
devolved on himself. 1t was at this juno
ture that Perry resolved upon that fa-
nous exploit which has made his name
immortal. He pulled down his battle
flag, but left the Stars and Stripes still
floating. Then, with his brother Alex
ander and four of his remaining seamen
he lowered himself into the boat. He
flung his pennant and battle flag over his
arm and around his person, stepped into
the boat, stood upright and ordered the
men to pull for the Niagara.
That vessel was more than a half
mile distant. 1t required the oarsmen
fully fifteen minutes to make the passage.
The boat had TO pass in full exposure TO
the enemy's guns. The British at once
perceived what was doing. As the smoke
cleared from around the hull of the Law
renee they saw the daring act of the COM
mander, transferring his flag from one
ship to another. His own vessel was
shattered to death. but there was the
Niagara, hale and strong. Should he
succeed in making her deck the battle
would be to fight over again. Victory or
defeat was turning on the issue.
The British guns opened on the little
boat. Discharge after discharge followed.
Some of the shot struck the frail cookie
and the splinters hew, but the men were

to pull unless he would sink. down to a
position of greater safety. The shot from
the enemy's guns knocked the water into
spray around them, but the boat reached
the Niagara in safety and Perry was
taken up. A moment more and his battle
dag was flying above the unhurt ship"
Thrilling is the story of how, his foot
upon the deck of the Niagara, his battle
flag again flying at the fore, Perry swooped
like hurricane down upon the enemy's
line, cut the British feet in two, right in
the middle, three vessels on the right,
three upon the left, broadside after broad
| side on either hand, death and destruction
in his resistless wake. Thirty minutes
and all is over; the brave English COM
mander, Barclay. horse de combat; his
second in command, Finnls, killed. HUI
man nature could hold out no longer.
Down comes the British hsg. We had
met the enemy and they were ours, two
ships, two brigs, one schooner and one
sloop," said Perry in his report to Harri-
son, written on the back of an old letter,
his hat for a desk.
The victor did not in the Ella ton of his
triumph forget the situation around him
He caused himself to be transferred from
the still unhurt Niagara to the bloody
deck of the Lawrence. There. and not
IN some other place, would he receive
the surrender of the enemy. The British
offieers as they came up to present their
swords had to pick their way through
dead and dying, slipping in pools of blood
as they came. Perry bade his antagonists

N GREAT emperor has passed away.
~ According to the dispatches published
by the news agencies, he was attacked
By three diseases-typhoid fever, diabetes
and albuminuria. In reality it was a case
OF long standing diabetes, recently COM
plicated by albuminuria. In regard to
the occurrence of fever, this was due to
the uremic symptoms.
The occurrence of urinary albun:nuria
is a symptom to which attention must GER
tainly be given, but it is not necessarily
alarming. 1t may be temporary and with
out any real significance. The symptoms
may also be connected with a dyspeptic
condition and may persist till the diges-
ton is improved, but it may also depend
on lesion of the kidneys, which is a spe-
cially serious factor and presents all the
signs of the affection usually known as
"Bright's disease"
The kidneys may become diseased in two
ways. Either the parenchyma of the
glomeruli-thst is, the tissue of the kid
neys-desenerates, or the glomeruli them
selves, undergoing compression through
the prolific growth of the intestinal tissues,
are no longer able to fulfil their proper
function of purifying the blood. Hence a
distinction is made between parenchyma-
tous albuminuria and intestinal albumi-
nuria.
Although it sometimes happens that
these rwo forms may occur separately,
most frequently they are found in COM
bination, with one or the other condition
predominating. In the LESSONS in which
the parenchymatous form is predominant
the albumen exists in large quantities and
may amount to 6.S or 10 grammes in a
litre and even more.
1t is very probable that the interstitial
form predominated in the case of the EN-
peror OF Japan, since the albumen, which
had attained 8 grammes litre, was sub
.>ausatly reduced to 1 gramme

Kahanamoku was one of the most noted

The King of Sweden and the royal family
took great interest in his aquatic ability
and while the games were in progress an
exhibition swim was arranged for the
King.
The shot put record was another des-

for the spectators when Pat" Macdonald,
the giant policeman who presides in Long

of the worlds record. Macdonald put the

mis- players of the East, as superior to the
West on the courts. but this year Cali
fornians have figured prominently in the
national championships.
Maurice E. Mclaughlin, a sandy haired
youth from San Francisco, was the victor
in the singles at Newport, taking the
championship east of the Mississippi for
the first time. Mclaughlin has been
playing tennis since 1903 and has forged
steadily to the front.
There seems to be almost no limit to

final event Of the Decathlon, which closed
the Olympic contests. He led his closest
opponent by $50 Yards.
Thorpe's activities are not confined to
field and track athletics. He is the cap
tain OF the 1912 Carlisle football team
and one of the fastest strongest backs on
the gridiron. His goal kicking from the
field is wonderful, and at times he per-
forms almost incredible feats when the
ball is so far to one side Of the field that
it seems almost impossible to boot it be-
tween the goal posts because of the diff
cult angle. With all his speed Thorpe is
so strong and hardened that it is seldom
necessary to call time for him after the
most terrific scrimmase. Head-on COLI
sions mean little to him.
Incidentally, Tewanima, who finished in
the 10000 metre run, is Carlisle Indian
and is expected to do things on the football
field this fall
The first record to be smashed was the
time for the one hundred metre run.
Donald F. Uppincott, of the University of
Pennsylvania, covered the distance in
10 3-5s. in a trial heat on the first day of
the games. This time was not equalled in
the final event, for Ralph Craig, another
American, won the race in 10 4-5s. Lip
pincett finished third The time for the
final equalled all previous Olympic records.
In throwing the jareIin with the best
hand the first three men broke all previous
records, Z. Lemming, of Sweden, hurting
the weapon 196 feet 6 inches.
Ted" Meredith, a schoolboy from
Mercersburg, Pa, surprised many spec
tators at the Olympic games by setting
two new records. Only those who had
happened to follow the sudden rise of
the boy from Mercersburg Academy were
not surprised at his performance in the
stadium. Week after week in the early
spring Meredith began to improve inter
scholastic records for races 40 yards and
$50 yards in length-thati is, the quarter
and the half mile. He was young, and
many followers of sport predicted that
his career would be short, though
glorious.

Stockholm. Their athletes smoke and
drink ale, and they do. not subject them
selves to the rigid discipline and physical
stress that American athletes endure.
They do not make a business of training,
and the result is they cannot compete with
thoroughly trained runners and weight
thrCwers.
What will the next year in athletics
bring forth| is being asked BY thou
sands of Americans who love the out of
doors. Even where worlds records were
not broken the track men Of the last sea-
son have been running mighty close to the
best figures.
Ralph Craig, who won the 100-metrs

ran his distances in 10 Ass. and 81 7-1Os.,
respectively. Alvah Meyer and Lippincott
ran close to him in those events
Reidpath went 400 metres in 4s 1-5s.,
which is very fast
F. ". Kelly's performance in the no.
metre hurdle race at Stockholm was cred
liable. His time was 10 1-5s., and Wen
dell and Hawkins, who finished close be-
hind him, were both Americans.
H. Babcock in the pole vault cleared
the bar at height Of IL feet IL inches,
and Matt" McGrath threw the hammer
$50 feet inches. Such a missile, well
directed, with McGrath's strength behind
it, would be about as effective as a can
Lon ball if it hit man within a hundred
feet Of him.
1t is a hopeful sign when many men
are threatening record figures, for it means
keen competition and the best development
possible.

What the Doctors Say Concerning the

lnls observation serves as GUIDE Iol
the medication to be recommended. First
of all, dietary giving the minimum tox-
ic matter is needed, and milk is the least
injurious of all ailments. Milk, being
very diuretic, has the further advantaS Se
of cleansing the ailing organs.
Doubtless, milk is contaminated in
the case of diabetic patients, since it
increases the amount Of the sugar, but
the lesser of two evils must be chosen.
1t is better to increase the sugar a little
and at the same time increase the urine
with consequent diminution of the al
bumen. When the urination is INSULT
cient, it may be stimulated by medica-
ton. In this case theobromine acts in a
remarkable manner by increasing the
urine in notable proportions, while at
the same time it relieves the difficulty of
breathing by its sedative qualities, and
often induces sleep. ....
But if the breathing trouble still re-
mains excessive. it may be diminished by
iberating considerable quantities of oxy-
gen in close proximity to the patient, and
by innndating with this gas both the pa
tient and the air of the room in, which he
is lying.
1t was hoped for time that, despite his
grave condition, the strong constitution
of the Emperor might still triumph, tenn
porarily at least, and the decrease in the
albumen appeared to be an excellent au-
gury. The most important point ut that
juncture was to effect some temporary re-
lief and to overcome the Immediately
threatening symptoms, such as the diff
Guilty in breathing. 1t was thought later
that severe and prolonged treatment
might to some extent cure the affected
kidneys.
But il was not to be; despite the efforts,
the science and the solicitude of the doc
tors; despite the hypodermic injections Of
camphorated oil, which for some time
sustained the action of the heart, the
Emperor finally succumbed to heart
failure. Although the disease was in
the kidneys the danger was in the heart.

III ARD FERRIS nassuIp, tne
Niagara, is to be raised from the
~ bottom of Misery Bay, Presque
Peninsula. The old war YES
sci to which Perry fed when his
original flagship, the Lawrence, was
forced to strike her colors is to take
leading part in the centennial celebration
of the hattie Of Lake Erie next summer
Her hull is in good condition, according
to experts who have examined her, and
cofferdam is to be built about her so that
rho remains of the vessel will be damaged
rs little as possible in raising. The hulk
will be towed ashore and brought into a
dry dock used for repairing fishing tugs
there to be rebuilt and made ready Tor the
rart it is to take in the celebration.
When Barclay had surrendered to the
gallant Perry the American feet returned
IN Erie Harbor, and the vessels, botn
Perry's and the captured English gun
boats were anchored temporarily in
Misery Bay, small inlet leading back
into the woods that cover Presque Isle
Peninsula. The Lawrence was so badly
riddled that no attempt was made to pre-
serve It. Its splintered timbers were con-
verted into walking sticks and knick-
knacks to be disposed of as souvenirs.
The Niagara, however, was useful for
number of years, and finally, not knowing
a better way of disposing of the ancient
war ship, the residents of Erie scuttled it
in Misery Bay, where it has remained
since, covered by fifteen feet of water.
The Perry Centennial Commission en-
gagged the services of an expert diver in
the employ of the Thatcher Contracting
Company, of Toledo, Ohio, and had the
hulk carefully examined. He reported
that it is well preserved and could be
raised easily.
Public spirited citizens of Erie are en-
deayoring to have the old vessel placed in
Central Park, where it is proposed to erect
a suitable building in whichto protect it
from the elements. One plan is to erect
a huge aquarium in which the vessel can
be placed, with fish of every species found
in the lakes enclosed with it.
The story Of the battle of Lake Erie
will never grow old. How the Niagara
came to be Psrry's flagship is graphically
told by John Clark Ridpath, the his

States who are interested in athletics.
There must be some limit to the degree
to which space may be annihilated, but
where is it? Our runners are becoming
hseter of foot every year; our broad
jumpers are leaping further and high
jumpers are setting the bar a notch or
two higher with astonishing frequency.
The time required to run a hundred
yards, q quarter mile, half a mile, four
miles, is being steadily lessened, some
times by fractions of a second, sometimes
by several seconds, and it is matter for
sensational speculation where the limit
will be reached. Sometimes a record
stands for years unassailed, apparently
impregnable, but then comes some feet
footed runner or a nimble jumper and the
sporting world is startled by a new
achievement. There always seems to be
somebody to outdo every one else in the
world of sport.
The ancient Greeks were a nation of
splendidly developed all round athletes,
but their feats were small compared to
the almost everyday performances Of
modern athletes. The first man to run
the famous Marathon, a Greek soldier,
who carried to the Greek capital the news
of the battle of Marathon, dropped dead
at the finish. To-day Strobino runs his
twenty-six miles faster than the Greek did

1t was expected that many records would

they did. Not a few new records were
established by Americans.
Indian Surpasses Greek.
Perhaps the most remarkable perform
ance of an individual in the last season
of sports was the winning of both the
Pentathlon and the Decathlon by James
Thorpe, the Indian from the Carlisle
Indian School. The invincible redskin
ran 800 metres in Am. 40 1-10s. in the
