Narratives, gathered from sur

TO the bravery of men and women
of these modern days. a bravery OF
impulse unstudied, unassuming and
instructive alike in steerage passen-

The burden of testimony before
the Senate committee thus far pre-

faith OF the Titanic's officers in her
unsuitable character, recklessness of
steaming at full speed among dan
gerous icebergs and the remarkable
calmness of the passengers and

SULPHUR TAKEN FROM WELLS
How Il 10 Forced From Great Depths
In Louisiana by Means OF
Hot Water.

Within recent years Sicily, so long
famous for its expectation of sulphur.
has suffered from the competition OF
the United States. In Sicily sulphur
is mined in the solid form. At Lake
Charles, La, near the Gulf Of Mexico,
a little over 200 miles from New Or
leans, sulphur Is obtained from deep
deposits In the form Of liquid.
Wells driven to a depth Of go feet
in search Of petroleum revealed In
stead q rich deposit Of sulphur. To
obtain the mineral hollow tubes were
driven into the earth. Each sulphur
well consists of three tubes, one with
in another. Through the outer tube
hot water is forced down. and 1t Is
sues through perforations near the
bottom. Through the central tube
hot air is driven a little lower than
the points where the hot water es-
capes. Through this third tube. In
closed between the other two, the IL
quid sulphur, dissolved by the water
/ rises to the surface under the com
bined influence of the pressure OF the
column Of water and impulsion Of th'
rising air. The liquid sulphur Is let
into wooden reservoirs, where IT cool

TERRIER AND THE u0AESS
Little DOG Braves Wounded Wild
Beast and Saves Life OF
He Master.

That victory Ia not always a matter
of size or strength was pleasingly
illustrated in the case Of the dog that
did his duty 80 effectually In the Incl
dent here related.
A man named De Beer had started
early one morning for a Journey on
foot In Matabeleland. leaving his boy
to pack UP and follow him. He had
not gone half mile when he heard
growl and, turning, saw an immense
lioness about ffty yards away and
rapidly approaching. She was within
twenty PAGES when he fired. The shot
broke the beasts jaw.
The second shot broke one OF her
legs. The third, fired just as she
sprang on De Beer, missed altogether
ard the man WIS borne down.
In a few seconds he was naufed
and bitten and his left hand severely
injured. There seemed little hope
that he could escape alive. for bis gun
was out Of reach and the lion, lying on
him. prevented him from moving.
But With De Beer was one compan-
Ion, a little terrier. The tiny animal
few bravely at the lioness' ear. got
q good hold and hung grimly on. This
made the brute shift a little. and De
Beer was able to reach hts rife again
with his right hand and shoot the
iioness through the chest. She fell
dead on top Of him. his left hand stll
