DR.. w. T. Boiling.

Memphis Commercial Appeal
With the death of DR.. Walter T. Boiling
the South has lost quaint and lovable
character.
In the days of war he was soldier who
fought to the end of that bitter struggle,
true to the South, true to the cause for
which the South commended.
After the war he became man OF peace
and fought the battle of a greater cause.
AS a minister his mission of good was
widespread. His gentle spirit brought
peace to many distraught minds. He was
in every respect man.
He may not have been the greatest ora
tor in the pulpit, but he was more than this.
He was an active worker in the Lord
vineyard, and wherever he was assigned
he made his personality felt He was earn
est, sincere, and of that optimistic dispo-
sition which made those who knew him
happier for knowing him.
DR.. Boiling for many years was regular
contributor to the Commercial Appeal.
Each Sunday his letter of cheer was pub
lshed. 1t reached thousands of homes
These sermons were never Respondent

the way for better thoughts, better deeds

so quietly taught that one was uncon-
sciously influenced by them.
In the sixty-fifth year of his life he was
rs active in his ministerial duties as he was
after he left the battlefield.
Religion came first with Dr.. Boiling, fol
he was devoted to his church and his church
work, but he was always actively interested
in the affairs of the nation and of his State
He was stalwart Democrat and was az
much interested in the upbuilding of thu
South as he was in defending the cause O
his country during the days of war. HI
kept in touch with the affairs of his State
and there is no politician of to-day more
familiar with the causes which now con
front the people than he was.
AS soldier he won distinction. Modest
always unassuming, he never boosted O
his achievements in that famous campaign
from Dalton to Atlanta. He was captured
near Atlanta and was sent as a prisoner o
war to one of the Ohio camps.
It was after the war was over that h
entered the ministry, and had served tn
cause of the church we'll and faithfully eve
since.
He was good, sincere, Christian gen
tleman of the Old South, and his death i
a source Of keen sorrow.

New Orleans, "because of its transporta-

would to any other place." BY all means

all industrial corporations will be required
to pay for their employees who may be

cry in their employ. This will bring upt the
value of human life where the parties are
killed or disabled in industrial employment,
but there is no evidence to show that where
men are murdered in this country it will
become less cheap than it is. We seem to
be moving on to time when there will be
no capital punishment for murder, and life

1t appears from the news concerning the
crazy and criminal suffragettes in London
that the government feels itself driven to
take extreme measures with them. Evil
IDENTIFY the most reasonable and practical
treatment would be to confne the criminals
in asyums for the insane and keep them
strictly secluded, so that no reports con-
corning them could get into the newspa-
pers or to the public. They are playing
for notoriety, and if deprived of that they
would quickly be tanned. 1t is one thing
to be prominent before the public, with
every gesture and crazy antic reported to
the world, and it is quite another to be
consigned to complete seclusion and be
forgotten. Nobody out of sight is remem-
bered, and no sensation unless unless con-
stantly stirred up will attract attention
longer than three days.-New Orleans
Picoyu1e.
The Picayune is right. The militant
suffragettes are merely playing for noto'
riety. If the newspapers would entirely
ignore them, the suffragettes would cu
out much of their unseemly conduct. As
long as they can keep themselves in the
public eye they are willing to make them
selves ridiculous, and yellow journalism il
responsible for much of their bad behavior

THE WIRELESS EYE"
 TO AID NAvIGAToRs

San Francisco, Oct. 13-If the wireless eye" does all that M. C. Blum says it will do, navigation is on the eve of just such another revolution as it experienced with the discovery of the wireless tele- ST ph, in the opinion of seafaring men who have examined the eye with which it's inventor, s. Spi q, is experimenting at Vallejo. Blum and w. E. Rode are financing the invention and have taken out twenty sev, patents on 1t. The instrument, which works only at mint, reflects on mirror a moving picture of eY- erything within a radium of several miles. It receives it's impression from a web of wires erected on a tall mast. It is useless by daylight however, for the reason that the wires register only the ''stygian rays" "The navigator of ship so equipped could see on the dark est night the surface of the ocean all about him." said Blum. "He could observe other ships approach or the proximity of rocks, shoals or icebergs. A coast guard could see an enemy's scouts approaching long before the scouts had found what they were seeking.
 During recent test at Vallejo, the observers saw in the mirror the ships on the river, the roalroad trains passing up and down the valley, people walking about and ev- en the sentries pacing their beats on the island" Spitz was formerly a wireless expert on Mare Island.

THE ICENIAN

When days are hot the iceman
 bringc his little chunk of hail, and he has healing in his wings, and in his pockets kale. Through crowd ed streets, in busy marts, he bears the boon of ice, and, in the fullness of our hearts, we kick about the price. To sick-rooms, when we're nearly dead, he bringss his precious freight; the patients then sit up in bed, and roar about the weight. In tenements, where poor folks dwell, his dripping load he bears; his pa irons then roar up and yell, and throw him down the stairs. He makes it possible to live when sum mer heat is sore, and what reward do people give? The protest and the roar! You surely ought to get the bounce," they cry, when he is around; you bring us only half an ounce, and charge us for a pOupd!" But patiently the iceman goes, serene, remote and wise, and daily brings Us hergs and floes of microscopic size. The multitude a. round him roars, and hoots him as he drills; he brings his hailstones at our doors, and then sends in his bills. Why roast the iceman bitterly and crowd him to the wall? We folks should proud and grateful be, to. get his ice at all.-WALT MASON

NATURES HOTHOUsE ON
 THE BANKS OF YUKON

One would hardly think that a hot spring throwing stream ao large as mans wrist, could be within a half mile of the Yukon be- tween here and Kokriues and yet re- main undiscovered until this summer Nevertheless such is the case.
 It has long been known by the mail carriers and other mushels, that along the big bend on the right bank of the Yukon about five miles below Koluines, the water in the creeks coming into the Yukon is warmer than the river water, thus making it very dangerous travelling along that bend, as it often opcns up in mid winter.
 F. c. Horner, Of KOkrines, know ing this fact, was discussing it with the natives this summer and they told him there were springs a little way up this creek that kept hot all winter, "all same Melozi Hot Spring This aroused MT. Horner's curiosi- ty. so he took a trip down to the bend and, by following the largest creek, back from the Yukon about half a mile, discovered the springs referred to.
 There are three distinct springs, and aeepages covering an acre or more. However, they all seem to come from the same stratum of rock just at is contact with the blanket or surface rock. This con- tact is about forty feet above the creek bed and the water seems to Uursi forth from solid wall, as it Y ere, and go spouting down over the white coated fragments of rock to the creek below, leaving a cloud of odorous vapor behind.
 The largest one, as stated, throws stream as large as a mans WIT / The temperature varies slightly in the different springs from 11S to l21 degrees Fahrenheit. These springs doubtless follow the same stratum as the Melozi Hot Springs, already so favorably known by the people of this section, which are on the other side of the Yukon hills about 20 miles distant.
 The effect on vegetation in the vicinity of these springs is very marked. Here are ferns in abund- ance that measure from six to eight feet in length. One leaf of a wild parsnip was measured which was fourteen inches across. It is certainly natures hOt-house on the banks of the Yukon.
 Mir. Horner intends to build roadBOuse near the springs and clea the trail to the river in time to re- ceive the returning stampeders, so in the future, instead of going 45 miles over a high range of hills in order to get to MelOzi Hot springs we can now enjoy the same priv ilege by going less than 25 miles m hardly leaving the Yukon at-let us say, the Horner Hot Springs, in hon or of the discoyerer.-Dawson News.
