The Deaf and Dumb spv.

AS the British forces under General
Kitchener neared Khartum, a dervish
spy was discovered in camp and taken
to headquarters for examination. But
neither brides nor threats could elicit
n word from the prisoner; he af-
fected to be both deaf and dumb.
Scarcely had be been put in a tent un-
der guard, when another spy was led
in who proved equally obdurate. so
he was put with the first me-.
Half an hour later, when the camp
was settling down to rest, there was a
fresh stir and hubbub and a third spy
was brought in, who also would reveal
nothing, and was finally placed in the
tent with his fellows.
Soon the guards outside heard a
murmur of voices from within. The
dumb spies had found their tongues,
but it vas impossible to %overhear their
talk distinctly or to understand II. An
hour or more passed.
Then the door of the tent vas
thrown open and the third spy ap-
peared and asked to be taken to head.
quarters. There he threw off his dis
guise and revealed-General Kitch-
ener! He had discovered all he want
ed to know.

SEDIMENT CARRIED TO SEA
Figures Show an Almost incredible
Amount Transported by China's
Mighty River.

Some estimates Of the discharge of
the Yangtze-kiang river and of the
amount of sediment it carries have
recently been published by Prof. Kon-
rad Keilhack of the Berlin School of
Mines, who visited the river in Sep
TENDER, 1918, when the stage of va
ter was unusually high. From meas
urements of depth made at Wusung,
Marking and Hankow, and estimates
Of width and velocity, this authority
concludes that the discharge below
Hankow 1855 miles from the MOUTH,
amounts In time of flood to 100000
cubic feet per second. The annual
mean is estimated at 1,750,000 cubic
feet per second. Filtration measure
ments made at the mouth, near WI
sung. taken in conjunction with the
above figures for discharge, indicate
an annual transport of sediment at
the average rate of 1880 pounds per
second, or a total of 584, 000, 900 tons

JUST WHAT is BAD AIR?
Experts Prove That overheated Rooms
Without Proper Ventilation Produce
Serious Physiological Effects.

Air is bad when 1t is overheated,
when it contains an excess of mois-
ture, and when it is chemically con-
taminated. This is the conclusion of
the New York state commission on
ventilation as summarized by Prof. G.
e. A. Winslow, chairman.
The first Indictment against bad
air shows that an increase in tempera-
ture beyond the normal seventy de-
grees produces serious arrangement
of the vaso-motor mechanism of the
body, resulting in a rise of tempera-
ture, increased pulse, and a lowered
blood pressure, with a corresponding
decrease in efficiency, both physical
and mental. In addition to this, over.
heating copduces to an undesirable
congestion of the mucous membranes
of the nose, thus possibly paving the
way for colds, sore threats and at
lacks of various germ diseases.
The work of the commission also
proves that chemical accumulations
in the air as a result Of air stagnation
bring about a decreased appetite for
food, which in turn must have an un-
favorable effect on the entire body.
In the commissions experiments, the
people living in fresh air ate Az to
13 per cent more than those living in
stagnant air.
"These experiments" says Profess
sor Winslow, indicate that fresh air
is needed at all times and in all places.
While we have changed our ideas as
to what causes bad air, ventilation is
just as essential to remove heat pro-
duced by human bodies as it was once
thought to be to remove the carbon
dioxide produced by human lungs, and
it is now proved also to be essential
for carrying away chemical products
which exert L measurable effect upon
the appetite for food. People who
live and work in overheated and I'M,
ventilated rooms are reducing their
vitality and rendering themselves an
easy prey to all sorts of diseases,
such as tuberculosis, pneumonia,
grippe, etc.

It is true that nature and q woman's
work mas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has

herbs Of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind

Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.

thousands of letters from women seek

over their own signatures that they'll have
regained their health by taking Lydia

MEANS MUCH TO NAVAL MEN
Ability to Communicate Through Wa.
ter One Of Most Recent lmpor-
tant Discoveries.

Several American battleships and

A. Fessenden's submarine wireless
apparatus. This sends messages more
than thirty miles under water, and
the inventor expects that with expert
ence it will be possible so to improve
the apparatus as tc make it send and
receive for several hundreds If miles.
The apparatus starts a metal plate
vibrating SO rapidly that it sends
a Of sound through the water.
Sound travels through water four
times as rapidly as through air.
In an article in the American Maga-
zine, Cleveland Moffett, quotes Profess
sor Fessenden as saying:

suffering. He was a brave and eff
cient soldier, and always first in the
firing line.
At the battle Of Marquis Redmond
was shot in the mouth. The Mauser
bullet passed downward and came out
at the nape Of the neck.
He was taken to the hospital, where
he recovered rapidly, and all that
could be see of the wound was a lit
tie scar about his upper lip where the
bullet entered. But the remarkable
thing about the affair was when he
left the hospital he was cured of his
habit of suffering. How it happened
neither he nor the doctors can ex-
plain, but he was so joyous over the
fact that he blessed the bullet that,
brought him relief.
