MAKE A GREAT MOVIE
Perf1OuS Hours of a Man i'm a Motor.
Boat in the Vortex of Niagara
Whirlpool

Niagara FAN. y. Y. Oct. 20
Over four hours in the grasp Of the
whirlpool in = small motorboat, Pet
er w. Lans cad, of Detroit. was res
cued last night more dead than
alive. He was taken to a hotel on the
Canadian side where it was said he
Will be all right in twenty-four
hours although his nerves were al
most shattered by his frightful ex-
rerinece.
Langeard made the trip thru the
whirlpool rapids from the Maid of
of the Mist landing on the Canadian
side of the whirlpool to furnish a
subject for a moving picture film.
He navigated the rapids safely
but when he swung into the whirl-
pool, driftwood cloggei his boats
propeller and he was powerless to
bring the craft out of the vortex
For almost three hours he tried in
vain to clear the propeller by lean
ing over the stern of the boat.
Time after time the PROV of the
little craft was sucked down into the
whirling waters and the stern was
lifted high into the air. To the hun
dreds that lined both shores at dusk
it seemed that Langeard must lose
his fight. When darkness came
headlights were taken from trolley
cars along the Canadian side and in
their glare the crowds watched Lam
geard's fight for life.
Shortly before O'Clock Fred
Preston, of Niagara Falls, Ont, vol
unteered to swim out with a life line
attached to his waist. Langeard, by
this time exhausted, lay still in the
boat which bobbed around in the
vortex like a cork
The crowd. numbering nearly L.
900, cheered when Preston struck
out for the rescue. Half way out
his life line became entangled in the
1riftwood and he was compelled to
return to shore. On the second at
tempt he reached the side of the
boat, but feared to climb into the
craft half filled with water Cling
ing to the side of the boat he shouted
to the rescuers on shore TO pull
The swinging of the boat around
the whirlpool made the task Of pull
ing on the line at the right moment
a most difficult task A pull at the
wrong time would have .torn Pres
ton away or overturned the boat.
The length of the water-soaked line
also added to the difficulty.
Aided by instructions shouted by
Preston. however. the boat was fin
ally maneuvered out of the danger
zone and slowly drawn ashore. Pres
ton was given a great ovation.

ANOTHER UGLY INCIDENT
Ward Liner Moro Castle Seized by
MeXicanS, but Released on Per-
emptOry Order from Wilson.

Mexico City, Oct. 25.-The peril
which confronts the American resi-
dents in Mexico was increased yes
terday as a result Of news from Vera
Cruz that a Mexican gunboat had
seized the Ward liner Moro Castle
flying the United States flag, and of
preparations of the American consul
to protect Felix Diaz.
The governments explanation of
the seizure was that the captain is
wanted to testify in case of long
standing. The real reason is believ-
ed to be that thirteen members of
the Vera Cruz legislature were
aboard sailing for Havana.
United States Interfered
Washington, Oct. 23.-The Ward
Line steamer Moro Castle, seized by
the Mexican authorities at Vera
Cruz, was released Immediately att
er the commander of the American
squadron at Vera Cruz communicate
ed with his government. On the re-
quest of the American commander,
the Mexican gunboat which had
seized the Moro Castle, took its men
off the liner and left the Moro
Castles vicinity.

The release of the Ward liner

but there is every reason to believe
that before many hours have passed
a notice by the United States that it

ence in Mexico by the warships dis
patched to Mexican waters by the va
rious foreign governments would be
proclaimed. 1t is understood also
that the United States by that same
statement will reiterate the Ameri-
can policy that only governments
founded on constitutional law and
order will be recognized on the west
ern hemisphere.

Cherries served fresh and cold on
their own stems for breakfast are so
delicious that no other way Of serving
them at that meal could be better. But
pitted and sprinkled with sugar and a
bit of lemon juice they serve as an APP
petizer and at the same time lose none
OF their delicate favor. Another way
Of preparing them for breakfast Is to
pit them and mix them with sugar In
the proportion OF half cupful to a
pint Of cherries and cook them until
they are Just tender. Then pour them
over buttered toast.
Cherry soup has been made. but it
could hardly be more than the result of
an effort to serve cherries in new and
unexpected way. However. at every
course save the soup course cherries
can be legi;lmately served.
Cherry cocktails are made in this
way: Stone ripe cherries, chop them
fine. add tablespoonful of lemon juice
TO each cupful Of cherries, sweeten
them to taste and serve them either In
cocktail glasses or else In lemon skin

side OF sufficient number of lemons.

DEFENDED HIS COTTON.

A Virginian veteran used to tell how

whose cotton he employed.
Some Of the cotton happened to be-
long TO rich merchant The mer~
chant followed his bales with doglike
devotion. He could not bear to tear
himself away from them. He was
standing over them when Jackson hap
pened to draw near. and, running up
80 the chief, he said: Monsieur, 1t is

ENERGY OF RADlUM.
One Ton of It Mould Equal In Power
100000 Tons of Coal.

One Ton OF IL Mould Equal In Power
100000 Tons of Coal.
If one could utilize the energy Of
ton OF radium through space Of thlr-
ty years it would be sufficient to drive
a ship of 1900 tons, with engines of
1900 horsepower, at rate Of fifteen
knots throughout the whole thirty
years. TO do this 100000 tons Of coal
are actually required, says the Chicago
Tribune
These are not fanciful figures, for the
energy is there, though, as matter Of
fact, it is unlikely that man will ever
produce much more than half an
ounce of radium year.
Still, the fact is important for this
reason-that science is convinced that
the radium In radium bromide is not
the only element which possesses this
marvellous store of energy, but that the
calcium in gypsum and the sodium in
common salt contain also this energy
content
The evidence OF the wonderful atomic
energies in the common elements Of
everyday material is rapidly accumu-
lating, and scientists are OF the opinion
that perhaps these same discoveries
may in time alter the whole future OF
the human race.

1t is a statistical fact that farm wo-

that those " 10 survive the years OF

do the men, The opposite is true in
town. There is no doubt in my mind
that the biggest factor in the develop

could mean a young horse or donkey
