SOME HARM IN MOONLIGHT
Scientists Have Been Giving the Nal.
ter Attention and Now Are out
With Explanation.

The alleged harmfulness Of moon
light is at last receiving scientific at
tention. Il seems that the light Of the
moon, being reflected, is polarized;
that is, the vibrations are in one plane
instead of all planes, as in light com
ing directly from its source. It is
also said that It has less germicidal
power than direct light, and that de-
cay Is therefore quicker.
All this may be true, and It may ex-
plain some Of the folklore as to noon
light. We have so long believed these
tales to be the myths Of primitive peo-
pies that we are not inclined to take
any suggestions in this line seriously.
They are really mistaken attempts at
the scientific explanation of phe-
nomena noticed for the first time.
The folk-tales seem to have orig
mated in lands of very clear atmos-
phere, and It is extremely doubtful
whether in northern misty climates
moonlight has any ocular or
effect n way or the other. Still we
are often surprised at the facts ELECTED
from still more bizarre Investigations.
Surely polarized light must have in
furious rectinal effects, and it might
be well to find out that much.

WONDERFUL REMEDY

'I feel like It had brought me from
the grave"
After taking one dose Of Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy, w. e. Barnett of
Glen. Colo, found relief from stomach
trouble of years standing.
Mr.. Barnett's experience is typical
OF the experiences Of stomach suffer
ers all over the country. For two
years he bought and tried all kinds Of
medicines and so-called cures" He
got Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and
after much hesitation took a dose.
Results were immediate, The first
dose convinced-it always does. Mr..
Barnett wrote:
II cannot say anything but words of
praise for your Wonderful Remedy,
after taking one bottle. l had spent
all l was able to spend for medicine
for two years. Now / feel that your
remedy has brought me from my
grave"
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per-
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure OF gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one
bottle of your druggist now and try 1t
on an absolute guarantee-if not salts
factory money will be returned.-AdV.

Surely a Rascal.

A short time ago a man was charged

dressed the magistrate:
Deed, Sir Bailie, the man at the

the barrel is ~naething to some Of his

nice man. My club engaged him to
play an exhibition match at a fixed fee,
but 1t was so wet that play was impos-

he firmly refused to take it, and would
receive only his bare travelling ex-

Honolulu, March 29.-After two
days of wasted effort in hooking and
pulling what proved to be an old
anchor instead Of the missing United
States submarine F-4, relief workers
discovered tho location. Of the trapped
vessel outside tho harbor.
The discovery that an error had
been made as to the location of the
F-4 destroyed the last faint hope of
finding any Of the submarines crew
Of t%wenty-one men alive. The anchor
that was mistaken for the submerged
vessel by the grapplers was one from
the h%attleship Oregon. Gray paint
scratched from this anchor helped to
deceive the relief workers into believ-
ing that the hooks had caught on the
submarine.
They are confident that they now
have located the F-4. Portions of the
su-perstructure have been brought 10
the surface.
The dredge California will shift
mornings, tugs will crisscross in all
directions and an attempt will be
made to lift the submarine.
w. c. Parks, a civil engineer, has
started construction of an immense
diving bell, a 54-inch cast iron pipe
seven feet in height, fitted with plate
glass.

a Jersey suit, slightly reinforced, and
a divers helmet, descended in an he.

OF 215 feet Of chain, For % minutes
he was going down. In 9H minutes
from the signal he was at the sur
face again, showing no i'll effects of
the unusual performance, said by
naval officers to be a worlds record
for deep sea diving.
Agraaz reported that the chain was
fouled with an old anchor lost from
the battleship Oregon some time ago.
He had seen no trace of the F4.
Despair supplanted hope when two

BIG MEXICAN BATTLE BEGINS.
Brownsville In Terror When Villa Men
Plan to Use Artillery.

Brownsville, Tex, March 29.-Grave
apprehensions were aroused among Of
ficials here by the report that Villa
officers have decided the defenses OF
Matamoros, opposite here, must be re.
duced, presumably by artillery. The
people Of Brownsville are greatly ex
cited. The possibility Of artillery
shells falling in Brownsville was indi
Gated by the %wounding of two persons
in the residence section here by stray
rifle bullets which rained on part Of
the town during the first assault or
Matamoros trenches.
The assault was a costly failure OF
the villa forces, in which their losses
were officially given as 100 killed and
400 wounded.
The Carranza losses we're ten killed
and forty-five wounded.
Upon orders from Washington, Col
A. p. Blocksom, commanding the Dor
der patrol here, stopped the bringing
of Mexican wounded to this side anc
placed a guard over those already
here.

watch and with only a few trout to
