FIRE ON TIE OKLAHOMA
Mysterious Blazes on Battleship At
Camden Last Night

Philadelphia, July 20-Ready for
her trial trip, the battleship Oklaha-
ma was seriously damaged by fire of
mysterious origin last night. The
newest and most powerful of the
dreadnoughts OF. the United States
navy caught fire few minutes after
the workmen had left her docks as
she lay at the yards of the New York
Shipbuilding Company in Camden.
| The fire, discovered about O'CLOCK
was under control at 8, after two
companies of Camden firemcn had
pumped the compartment under tur-
ret No. / half full Of water. A sec
ond blaze was discovered fifteen
minutes later, but was soon over
come.
The blaze started many rumors
about the shipbuilding yards. A re
port of an explosion could not be veri-
fed. Officials of the company said
they could think Of no explanation
of the mystery.
| The Oklahoma was launched about
two wears ago. She was to have had
her trial run in the next few days.
A third fire broke out at ll:3U
o'clock and the fire companies were
again recalled to the scene. The third
fire was in turrent No. z on the othel

NEW MALADIEs OF THE WAR
Aviators and Telegraphers Have De
veIoped Ailments Which Call
for Special Treatment.

During the European war several
military aviators have been suffering
from airsickness This new malady
is liable to attack any aeroplane pilot
who flies for a length of time without
descending. The aviator thus attacked
Is affected with sickly nausea &C
companied by severe headache and q
violent desire to sleep. Swift descents
through the air bring on these symp-
toms, which medical men say are
caused by the blood circulation of an
aviator being unable 20 adopt itself
at once to the rapid change of atmos-
pheric pressure caused by sudden
drops in the air.
Photographers spasm Is a malady
which has afflicted many telegraph
and wireless operators in the war. The
complaint Is caused by the continual
operation of the key used in connec-
ton with Geographic apparatus. Few
people realize the strain entailed by
tapping for hours at a stretch with one
hand the instrument which sends code
messages across the wires. Most let
ters consist of more than one dot or
dash. and 1t has been estimated that
an operator makes about 10000 move
ments of the fingers and wrist in the
course Of an hours operating.
This strain often results in the hand
becoming stiff and uncomfortable, as
1t does In the case of writer's cramp.
Many telegraph operators now learn
to operate with both hands In order to
avoid this complaint.

HOW FEAR TIRES THE BRAIN
10 Same Form Of Exhaustion az Dls-
ease and Produces Same Effect,
Scientist Ayers.


Doctor Grille aroused the greatest
interest among the many scientific
men recently when he illustrated the
eject OF insomnia, physical exhaus-
ton. fear and disease upon the brain
cells OF more than fifty rabbits with
which he had experimental and de-
clared that each form OF exhaustion
produced exactly the same effect, both
in the lower forms Of life and in hui
mans.
The brain. the liver and other or
gans of the body are connected in
the kinetic chain or system, and
change In one link OF that chain modi-
des the entire system proportionately.
Thus disease or exhaustion In one or
gan of the kinetic system will produce
q harmful effect on the brain cells
which comprise the great central bat
terry which drives that system.
AS many az twenty cells in the
brain may be totally destroyed after
prolonged insomnia. but, on the other
hand. eight hours sleep will often re-
store the brain cells to q normal con-
dition after a shorter period Of ex-
haustion from insomnia or other
causes In this connection, 1t was
pointed out that athletes who had at
tanned fame in early life by their feats
Of physical endurance were rarely
known to become prominent in other
fields In after years.
A change in the system, It was de-
ciared. may result IN an immediate
breakdown or acute shock, or the
gradual modification of one or more
OF the kinetic organs may give rise
to q number OF diseases. This theory
has already given the world the shock
less operation, and 1t opens a posi-
bility Of controlling certain chronic
diseases which are the result of over.
stimulation OF one or more Of the or.
gans In the kinetic chain.

QUICK RESPONSE TO APPEAL
British Women swamped Military Au.
tnorItIes With Resplrators for
Which They Had Asked.

One would have to go far to find
greater hustlers than the women of
Britain are when 1t comes to making
things for their men at the front.
Their indefatigability in this direction
has been demonstrated frequently
since the war began, but never more
strikingly than in response to the re-
cent war Office appeal for respirators
for the army in Flanders. Respirators
were needed, of course, owing to the
sudden use by the Germans of poison
GUS gases as a means of warfare. They
were wanted by the hundreds of thou
sands. The war Office appeal for them
appeared In the papers on Wednes-
day morning. And within forty-eight
hours another official announcement
was forthcoming stating that sufficient
respirators had been received and ask
ing the public please not to send any
more. 1t all happened SO quickly that
some of the evening papers on Friday
which carried the later announcement
on their news pages also carried on
their inside ones the original appeal
and elaborate instructions for making
respirators, there having been no time
to take the latter out
Meanwhile the rush for the mate
rails of which respirators are made
had been something unprecedented.
BY three o'clock of the day on which
the appeal was made most of the prin-
cipal shops and stores had entirely
exhausted their stock of narrow elias
tic. One big house had by that time
sold 10000 pounds of wool and $4,000
packets of gauze. BY the end Of the
same day another establishment had
accepted orders to make $4,000 respir-
ators for the front.

CUTTING CORN FOR THE sILo
Walt Until Kernels Are Glazed or
Dented-lf Thought Too Dry
Water May Be Added.

There Is considerable of the nu
TRENT material lost In cutting silage
corn too early. Corn should not be
cut for this purpose until the ker.
nels are nearly all glazed or dented.
At this stage it will usually be noted
that the lower blades are brown and
dry. If 1t is thought that the corn
is little too mature. water can be
added.
Experiments have shown that corn
slower (dry stalks without the ears)
can be ensiled if an equal weight OF
water is added as the stever Is being
cut. The silage should be well
tramped as the silo is being filed. es-
pecially so around the walls. This
is done to exclude as much air as pos
sible. For the average man, the steam
engine is easier to run than is a gaso-
line engine, and not as many de-
lays will be made in filling the silo.
Where number OF men and teams
are employed, stop of even q few
minutes is costly. After the filling
OF a silo is completed, 1t is a good
idea to wet the top down thoroughly.
after which it should be tramped once
day for week or ten days. This
procedure will save several tons of
otherwise spoiled silage.

GOATS GAIN IN FAVOR
Within Last Few Years Industry
Has Assumed Prominence.
Animals are Useful for Several Pur-
poses-SkIns Used for Leather
Fine Hair Of the Anpora Is
Known as Mohalr.

Angora goats were introduced into
this country from Turkey about 1850,
and have been bred ever since In
different parts of the country in
small numbers. It is only within the
last few years, however, that the goat
industry has assumed especial prom
inenoe. According to recent census
statistics on this subject, there are
1.s15,000 goats In the United States.
About 100000 Of these are Angoras,
the remainder being common goats.
Goats are useful for several pur-
poses. Their skins are used in the
manufacture of leather, or for rugs;
the fine hair of the Angora is known
as mohair, and is used In the manu-
facture of the various dress goods
and pushes The demand for mohair
in manufacture in the United States
is much in excess Of the supply which
can be obtained from goats In this
country, and a good market for this
product may be expected for q long
time to come
The meat of goats, especially An.
goras, Is eaten to large extent, be
ing commonly sold under the name OF
mutton. and more recently bearing
the name of Angora venison, or An
gora mutton. II the goats are well
dressed 1t has perhaps a more de
iicious flavor than mutton. and seldom
has as much fat. In certain localities
