other feature in the choice of a new
apartment.
A useful household invention of the
gas industries is the apartment house
incinerator, which promptly destroys ac-
cumulated waste of all kinds. The in
PRODUCTION of the gas-burning waste de-
stroyer in apartment houses removes
from such buildings a great nuisance.
Garbage waste as a quantity Is an Of
fensive element when not new. Many I'M
successful attempts have been made in
the construction of apartment buildings
to properly dispose Of it. The unclean
and unwholesome garbage pail has long
been bugbear to the apartment house
dweller. and it has often left it's trail
on the trip down from the top floor of
the building. With the gas ineinerator,
this nuisance is entirely eliminated, for
it is built In the wall of the kitchen. 1t
has a storage compartment at the top.
where waste can be deposited through the
day until it is finally destryed by the
gas flames underneath the oven. There is
pipe attached to the incinerator which
carries the smoke and odor up through
the furnace chimney.

SHIP MAY HAVE
KEPT HER RIFLES

New York, Aug. 27.-Whether the
British steamer Francisco was per
mitted TO retain her two ~ rifles
mounted aft or was compelled to dis
mantle before sailing Wednesday
night with 5000 tons of grain for Hull,
was unknown this afternoon to navy
yard officials here. The battleship
Florida. which stopped the Francisco
in the harbOr, had not reported to the
navy yard It was too dark for shore
observers to see whether the guns were
still aboard when the Francisco was
allowed to proceed.
It was generally believed, however
that the guns We're not taken off At
the navy yard. the FlOrida's failure to
report was construed as confirming this
belief The Francisco, according to re-
port, carried no war ammunition. Her
captain claimed that the rifles were
merely a saluting battery.

them, and he wanted 1t distinctly un-

vote for him who did not understand
it-that II he went to the convention
he would vote for secession without

Col. Wilson said that South Carolina

Divers Brave Battle Eighty-Five Feet
Under Water.
Fighting furiously for 45 minutes
against an octopus S5 feet below the
surface of the water, at the same time
talking over the telephone to his at
tendants in q scow on the surface Of
the water, giving them accounts Of the
remarkable battle as 1t progressed,
and finally, practically uninjured, but
in fainting condition, escaping, was
the remarkable experience Of Walter
Moray, a deep sea diver, at Alden
banks, near Anacortes.
McRay, the Seattle correspondent
of the New York Sun writes, was en-
gagged by the Apex Fishing company
to examine one Of its fish traps on
Alden banks and on the third trip to
the bottom he ran afoul Of the fish
most dreaded by divers. He had fol-
lowed the lead for some distance when
his foot was seized in the deadly grasp
Of the giant octopus. At the same time
the big fish emitted a large amount
of link" turning the water n the VI
cinity absolutely black, and making 1t
impossible for the diver to see his as
sailant.
James E. Hill, who was on the sur
face in charge of the assistants to Nc
Ray, stood with the telephone re-
ceiyer at his ear. He heard slight
exclamation from the man below, fol-
lowed by a violent pull at the life line
as the diver was thrown off his feet.
A few seconds later Moray said over
the telephone:
Now, keep cool. Don't get ex-
cited. A devil fish has got me-"
The rest Of the battle, as told by
McRay and described by Hill, was az
follows:
when 1 heard those words, spoken
by McRay as calmly as though he
were greeting a friend on the stree'
my hair stood on end.
1.-The octopus, Immediately after
tripping McRay, had thrown two more
tentacles about the PROSTATE man,
one around his body, binding his left
arm tightly to his side, and the other
between his legs and reaching up his
back. The head of the fish was on
McRay's chest.
Almost helpless, yet with his right
arm free, he was able to draw his
knife from his belt and defend HIM
self. Fighting at the great depth OF
water and under heavy pressure the
strain soon told on the diver and sew
eral times he nearly collapsed.
"At no time, however, did he ap-
pear to get excited or lose his head
For the entire As minutes which ne
struggled, he gave me frequent bull
letins as to how the fight was progress
sing.
After McRay had succeeded In
subduing the octopus, he proceeded
to free himself from the wire mesh
in which he had become entangled.
when he reached the top of the
water the big fish still held a death
grip on his left arm, and 1t was not
until he was half out Of the water that
it let go and fell back into the water
from which he was dragged with
pike pole. Moray was completely
exhausted when we brought him to
the top"
When examined by the crew of the
scow the octopus was found to have
IL wounds in his body. He measured
nine feet in diameter.

Sunlight and Fresh Air.-The word
disinfectant has become a household
term, and almost every one knows that
it means something that destroys
germs, though comparatively few
know what our best and cheapest dis
infectants are.
The most useful and efficient all
round disinfectant that we have is the
sun, and the air is his worthy ally.
Fresh air dilutes germs as water di-
lutes filth, and the lustiest germ will
quickly curl up it's toes and die If ex-
posed to the sunlight. But fresh air
and sunlight are abundant and cheap,
so Of course we usually prefer to use
some disinfectant that smells bad and
can be bought at the drug store.
Open windows and rolled up shades
would save many lives, but what do
we have win lows and shades for il not
to keep them down? Besides, II we
left them up it would let in the flies
and fade the carpets, so we pamper
the germs and employ the DOCTOR
