NAMES OF IOWA STREAMS.

That Iowa is a farming state is re-
fected in the names of many of the
streams that flow through It, First
there is a Farm creek, so that Farm
.ers creek is not out OF place; then
there is a Chicken creek, a Duck
creek, a Goose creek, number OF
Turkey creeks, as well as Pigeon
creek. There are Fox, Hawk, and Rat
creeks to devour the domestic animals,
and some Grow creeks, while there IS
also a Fly creek and Mosquito creek
to worry the summer boarders. Milk
and Cold Water creeks are present,
likewise Hog Run and Mud creek
so that Bacon creek Is not strange. 1t
Is fitting that with a Bee creek and
Bee Branch there should also be
Honey creek. There are couple oI
Cherry creeks. Crabapple creek, ana
plenty Of Plum creeks, and for wild
animals we have Bear, Beaver, Buck,
Crane, Deer. Doe, Elk, Otter, Panther,
Raccoon. Skunk, and Wolf creeks.
With a Keg creek there is Whiskey
creek and Whiskey Run. Finally
there is a Purgatory creek.

COURAGE is COMMON IN THIS
WAR.

London, May 22.-Every English
man knows how to die bravcly. The
Irish. Scotch and English soldiers
face the bayonets, the machine surs
as though out on dress parade. 1t Is
the men who sicken and die in the
trenches, or at home after an ardnous
campaign that our sympathy goes out
to most. There are thousands of such
men behind the battle lines who went
to the front without the strong consti-
tuition and good pure blood to with
stand the deprivations, the hardships
of the campaign in Belgium and
France. It's warning that We should
nav strict attention to our stomach,
liver and blood. IL one Is all out OF
sorts he should take an invigorating
tonic and alternative such as Dr..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
which cures diseases of the stomach
and organs OF digestion and nutrition.
II eliminates from the blood disease
breeding poisons. 1t makes the blood
rich and pure, and furnishes foun"
dation for sound, physical health.
Fifty years ago. DR.. Pierce or the IN
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
at Buffalo, N. Y, found that certain
narks and roots manufactured by
using slycerine without the use of al
cohol or opiates, made into concen-
trated extract. which he called DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
made stimulating tonic for the sim
ulation of the food and eradicated

drove poisons from the blood. This is
natures cure for Indigestion, and by
correcting the stomach, and thereby
feeding the blood on pure materials,
the red blod corpuscles are Increased
and the body established in a healthy
state. No one suffers from catarrh
who has plenty OF red blood corpus
Giles and a good digestion. Catarrh In
all its forms is stagnatfon of the

Archer c. Miller, Secretary Of keokuk

Meeting Held In st.

Local Man Represented School Board
Of Smallest City to Send
Delegate to This
Meeting.

Archer c. Miller has returned from
st. Louis where he was in attendance
at the sessions of the National AS
ISOLATION of School Accounting OF
ficers. The session was attended by
school board secretaries and of1cers
from all over thte country. Mr.. Miller
represented the smallest sized city
to send delegate.
The sessions proved extremely in
teres ting. and profitable, according 10
the boards secretary. and number
of new ideas were suggested by the
exchange of ideas, and talks which
were made by experts at this session.
One of the speakers spoke particularly
in reference TO work in the smaller
districts, and this was Of special help
to the representative from the small
er cities.
Social sessions were an enjoyable
feature of the convention, also, Mr..
Miller said. At the banquet which
was held at Faust,s, he responded to
one of the toaSts. The delegates were
shown over st. Louis, and were given
glimpse of all OF the show places OF
the city, including the beautiful home
of A. Busch, and the grounds surround
ing.
A. L. Clinite of Des Moines. who
was present, invited the officers to
hold their next conference at Des
Moines. He was told that his invita-.
ton would be considered. The BID
made by Pittsburgh may be accepted.
however. The place of meeting for
the coming year is left in the hands
of q committee for decision.
Quite a number Of ways which were
discussed are not practical to dis
trict the size Of Keokuk. Mr.. Miller
believes, but that there was much
done and talked OF that will be
helpful both to him and the other
officers of the district.

HOW ELECTRIC WAVES TRAVEL

At this time, when wireless waves
are carrying the news of history-mak-
ing battles across oceans and CONT
rants. encircl:ng the globe. it is i'm
portant that we secure a better I'M
Outstanding of this electrical phenom-
ena.
The waves OF the sea, sound-waves
(such as musi6 heat-wav!7S. light
waves il colo : II paintings. all
are wsve-motions, some complex and
some simple, but all governed by al
most identical laws. The most obyi-
GUS and we'll known wave motions are
these O! liquids. Such waves can be
readily produced by throwing a stone
into a still pond. II the wind is
blowing, causing a succession OF
small waves. the circular waves
caused by the stone will continue on
until they die out from lack OF force,
regardless of the wind. If two stones
are thrown into the water the waves
will readily cross each other and con-
tinue on to their destination
Waves of the sea depend on diff
Earent principle, and one of great i'm
portance in electricity as we'll This
principle may be stated shortly as fol-
lows: VIII en- the current OF fluid flows
past a body which can oscillate, it
will set the body in oscillation. and
maintain its vibration. Illustrations of
this principle can be found, such as
the blowing of an organ-pipe, the
musical vibration produced electrically
in the Duddell arc. and the whistfing
of a stretched cord in the wind. 1t
was by applying an intimate know
ledge Of the properties of wave-motion
to the known facts concerning cleo
trfcity that Clerk Maxwell was able to
the production of electric
waves, and to show that they would
be identical with those of light. 1t re-
NAMED for Hertz, however, to realize
these facts in practice.
Speaking generally, an electric wave
is the forward motion of a condition
OF electric strain, which may be ac-
companied by a to-and-fro motion Of
electricity along any conductors over
which it passes. Electric waves, such
as are used in wireless telegraphy,
travel with the same speed as light,
10000 miles a second. 1t is presum-
ed that they travel much the same as
waves in a small pond when stone
is thrown into the water. That is,
they begin at a small source and flow
out in a succession OF circular waves
until their force IS spent. But wire
less travels in spherical waves, In

DIVING FOR THE SUBMARINE "a

The sinking of the F-4 of the
Hawaiian submarine fotilla during
the maneuvers in Honolulu harbor of
March %, when it failed to rise after
diving with twenty-ona members of its
crew, is the first fatal disaster that
has occurred to an American under-sea
craft. An account Of the disaster ap-
pears in the Popular Mechanics maya
zine, and a number of illustrations
show the work of locating th.e position
of the lost craft, which involved some
remarkable diving. The article states:
.In making the unprecedented dive
to the bottom of Honolulu harbor the
naval operative wore an ordinary div
ing suit Altogether he was under
the water for about two hours. The
descent was made very rapidly. only
FIVE minutes being consumed After
inspecting the hull of the submerged
vessel and ascertaining how the lines
were lying, he commenced to be
raised to the surface. An hour and
forty-five minutes was spent in doing
this, SO as to accustom him slowly to
change to the normal atmospheric
pressure This procedure is made
necessary by the tremendous pressure
diver is subjected to when under a
great depth of water. At 300 feet this
amounts to approximately $50 pounds
to the square inch. or for man of
average stature, an aggregate load Of
possibly 40 tons. A quick descent is
possible since an increase in pressure
can be readily withstood by the body,
up to a certain point, but on ascend
ing every possible care must be taken
to allow the body to become accus-
toned to the lighter load. This is
the reason that seven-eighths of the
time the diver was In the water was
spent in raising him to the surface"

To the Editor of The Gate City

sometimes hard for the editor to fill

he might not seriously object to have
a few rambling thoughts for the pub

a scholar.

people enjoy sensational stuff and
