STROKE DUE SOLELY TO HEAT
Research Has Proved That Light Rays
Arc Not Responsible for Collapse
Known al "Sunstroke."

The latest studies of the effects of

The chemical or activic rays of
sunlight produce sunburn, which may
sometimes be very serious, and the

Pretty Problem.

Saint Gingolph, which is on the
borders of Lake Geneva, is the cause
Of a pretty little international prob
lem. One part is IN French and the
other in Swiss territory, and a GER
tain area is owned in common. Since
1900 this communal land has been
the subject Of dispute, and pourpar-
lers were begun in 1851. These have
not yet been finished, but both the
French and Swiss government are
now taking steps to arrive at some
definite understanding. A local pc.
culiarity Is that while the French in.
habltants cross the Swiss frontier to
go to church, the Swiss residents pro-
coed into French territory to wor

THOUGHT OUT A NEW "GRAFT"
rorrid Weather Gave New York Beg
gar an Idea Which He Seemingly
Turned to Advantage.

A man believed to be a professional
beggar took advantage Of the torrid
weather to work on the sympathies Of
persons In the subway, the New York
Times states. The beggar, wearing a
heavy storm ulster, got on a north
bound Broadway express at six o'clock
in the evening, at the Brooklyn bridge
station. He found seat In a corner
OF the car, and the perspiring passen-
gers regarded him with surprise and
pity. They noticed that the beggar
had a long beard and that the storm
collar OF the great coat was turned up
and buttoned tightly about his neck.
He seemed to be suffering much from
the heat, for his lean face was moist
with perspiration.
A sympathetic guard asked the beg.
gar why he was clothed for winter
when most Of the men In the car had
cast aside their coats. The beggar re-
piled softly that he did not dare to
open his ulster, as he wore no clothing
underneath 1t. This information the
guard communicated to several men in
the car. One of them started a collec-
ton to get suit of clothes for the
poor man. He passed hat from one
passenger to another, and several dol
lars in silver were obtained for the
beggar. He quit the car at the Grand
Central station, thanking his benefac.
tors tearfully. After counting up the
collection he crossed to the south
bound platform Of the station, where
he got on a downtown express. He
succeeded in arousing the sympathies
OF the passengers on the train, and an.
other collection was. taken up and
turned over to him. When last seen
he was hurrying to north-bound ex.
press at the bridge station.

great master.
This picture Of the Museum of Lille
Is a decollation of st. John the Bap-
fist, which was marked as attributed
to Rubens. NJ. Parenty, on a photo

has been supposed that only the ca

tans of Turkey, can order q general
war or jihad, but as the Persians and
the Moors, who are NJ ohammedans. do
not acknowledge the spiritual authori-
7ty of the Ottoman sultan and look to
their own rulers for their cue in such
case, it is not at all likely that there
will ever again be a jihad. Holy wars
have been proclaimed by the mahdis.
as was the case in the Sudan in 1882,
when Chinese" Gordon was murdered
at Khartum. but there has been no gen-
3eral war between the followers Of the

Of Porphyry and Boethius, something
Of Aristotle, and enough Of arithmetic
to enable him to find Easter. Three
years more were usually spent in
studying geometry, astronomy and as,

loWance u money was 4 shilling d
week. His breakfast was a piece of
bread and a pot Of beer at dawn. His
dinner was eaten at 10 in the morning.
He was given one suit Of clothes
yearly. Three times a year each stu
dent was required secretly to tell the
masters Of the misbehavior Of his fell
lows, who then received competent
castigation !" The rules laid down by
De Wykeham prohibited visits to tav-
erns or "speetacles," the keeping Of
dogs. the playing Of chess and other
''noxious and Illicit sports, shooting
with arrows or other missiles. dancing,

In view of the fact that so much
seed grain shows very low gepmina-
ton tests, every farmer should have
the foresight to test his grain be-
fore seeding. If one-half or only
one-third of the kernels sown will
sprout and grow strong healthy
plants, then it is folly to expect a
full crop in the fall. It is no trick to
test seed grain.
: A simple way is as follows: Take
400 grains Of the seed and place it
between two damp cloths and place
these on a plate upon which little
sawdust has been sprinkled. Place
second cloth over the grain, and
invert another plate over the first
one. Keep the cloths damp and
keep the plate in a moderately
warm place, the average kitchen
would be about right, and in 6 or Z
days the seed will all have germina
ted that is good, and by counting
the sprouts the termination can be
determined. s

latitude and moment Of noon can be
found approximately in the same way.
