ShamOkin Man That Way
For Twenty-Seven Years.
IS NOW UNDER TREATMENT.
Was Injured by Baseball Bat When
Boy-Had to Give UP Job In Mines
Because YeIps Frightened! Mules.
Case interests Physicians.

Shamokln, Pa, Jan. 27.-Fred San
ders of this city was admitted to the
Medico-C Chirurgical hospital in Phila-
delphia for treatment for a nervous
condition which causes him to yelp like
a dog. The origin of the condition
dates back twenty seven years, when
Sanders. who is now thirty-four years
old, was struck on the head by base
ball bat.
While physicians were examining
Sanders and learning the history Of the
case, the sounds from the patient,
which resembled the bark of dog as
near human sounds can, could be heard
plainly in the office and corridors of
the hospital. Sanders has been placed
in room apart from the public wards.
Accompanying these sounds is a
twitching of muscles and limbs affect
ing the patient from his head to his
feet. In the convulsions, which at
times occur at intervals Of every few
seconds, Sanders draws back his arm
as though to strike something with his
fist. Other times he raises leg in the
motion of kicking.
These motions, physicians who have
investigated the unusual case here for
score of years say, are reminders of
the days when Sanders drove mules
in the mines. They were noticeable
in slight twitchings the day after San
ders was hit by the bat. A few years
later the motions became so violent
and pronounced and his yelps and
barks so loud that he couldn't drive
mules without frightening them, and
he lost his position in the mines.
When Sanders was ten years old he
attended a baseball game at Ashland.
Jack Stivetts of Ashland, who after
ward attained national reputation as
pitcher for the Boston team, was just
beginning to develop the skill which
made him one of the greatest pitchers
of his day.
Stivetts, a giant in stature, was at
rat. The boy Sanders stood near the
home plate. The bat slipped from
Stivetts' hands as he swung at pitch
ed ball, and the end of 1t struck San.
ders in the forehead.
On the day following the accident
the boy showed no marked signs Of his
INJURY except a slight twitching Of the
muscles of his face, caused more by
fright than by the blow from the bat
physicians say. Shortly ufterward he
began ~ yelp like dog

WATERS STRIKE C0LLAPSES.
Lack of Public Sympathy and Police
Clubs Causes of Failure.

New York. Jan. 27. The general
strike of the hotel workers, which was
promoted and nursed by the agitators
Of the big Bill Haywood organization.
the Industrial Workers of the World,
has collapsed. The strike leaders ad-
mitted that the fighting spirit had
oozed out of their followers and that
within twenty-four hours walters and
cooks and others would be scrambling
for their old jobs.
The organizers sent by the Industrial
Workers of the World to show the ho-
tel workers how to fight according to
the tactics of Haywood and Ettor were
the first to admit defeat. Patrick Quin-
Ian, the general organizer, and Miss
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, the principal
speechmaker, were hard at work try
ing to convince the leaders of the In
ternational Hotel Workers union that
he who fights and runs away can live
to fight another day.
Less astute perhaps than the profes
sionals Of the Industrial Workers of
the World, the leaders Of the Hotel
Workers union were struggling at the
executive committee meeting to pro-
long the strike, but they were told
frankly by the Industrial Workers of
the World strategists that the battle
was lost and that terms had better be
made as quickly as possible. There
were number of causes for the fail
ure of the strike. Among them were
an absence of public sympathy, the
lukewarm attitude Of rs per cent of the
union walters satisfied with their pay
and the discovery of the strikers that
the police were not afraid to use their
clubs.
After three days of window smash
ing, of assaults on nonunion walters
and of noisy demonstrations there was
less work last night for the police and
the private guards by whom most of
the hotels and restaurants were heav-
lily guarded.

AMERICAN PEACHES AND
APPLES IN ENGLAND.

English folks are shy of buying
peaches, which they have learned to
look upon as a luxury That this is
so is not to be wondered at in view
of the high prices that the home
grown fruit commands. Hothouse
peaches, for example, fetch at retail
as much as $3.50 to Sc a dozen, and
even the outdoor fruit costs about
$3.50 per dozen. On the other hand
consignments from the State of
Washington sold at retail in the
London market lately for 60 cents a
dozen, while Colorado peaches could
be bought at retail for as little as
three cents apiece.
American apples have found a
market in England, where people
ask for them as a matter of course.
There seems no reason, therefore,
why the imported peach should not
become equally popular, as the en-
joyment of the fruit will thus be
made possible to those who find the
homegrown product beyond their
means. Its advent also would be
welcomed in hotels and restaurants
in the preparation of dishes in which
the fruit forms part. Another effect
would be to prolong the peach sea-
son. At present the fall market de-
pends largely on the outdoor fruit,
the supply of which is made doubt
full by the uncertainty of the climate.
American growers, accordingly, see
prospects of a good market in Eng
land now that people there begin
to realize the comparative cheapness
of the imported peach.-Harper'
Weekly.

Why the Earth Grows Drier.

From the Philadelphia Record
When water Is decomposed by radium
or by ultraviolet rays it produced hydro
gen and peroxide of hydrogen, and II
does not form oxygen. ElectroIytic de-
composition forms oxygen. A German
investigator bases a new theory relating
to the drying of the earth on the fact
that one form of decomposition produces
oxygen, while the other form does not
Part of the water vapor emitted by the
seas is decompos0ed by the ultraviolet
rays of the sun; the hydrogen formed
rises toward the high atmospheric strata
and all the water does not return to the
surface. Therefore. the quantity of
water on the face of the globe is always
diminishing, and the earth is necessarily
if gradually, drying.
To cite one example: On the north
side of the Alps there is a continual
falling off In the depth of the lakes and
a gradual formation of swamps Two
hundred and fifty years ago there were
149 lakes in the canton of Zurich: today
there are seventy-six- The destruction
of the forests and the cultivation of the
land partially explain this, but the loss
of hydrogen is an important factor. The
hydrogen accumulated in the higher at
mosphere is diffused in interstellar space.
