BLIND PLEAD WITH Inventor
Iiquef1ed Radium Helps to Restore
Sight-May Be "Great
Discovery"

More than six thousand blind per-
sons, by deputy or directly through the
mails, have besieged Ethan l. Dodds,
the Pittsburgh inventor of radium
screen ''eyes," pleading piteously with
him to restore their sight.
Mr.. Dodds, with the aid of liquefied
radium, did succeed some months ago
In improving if not restoring the vision
OF man who suffered peculiar visual
ailment that had made him blind. Talk
ing of that achievement, the inventor,
who already had spent two fortunes
experimenting along that line, said
he'd give all he could ever hope to pos
sess In this world if he could only
promise sight to few Of the blind who
had thus appealed to him. But, as yet,
he was "only on the edge of a great
discovery" and could not, without
many added qualities, hope to apply it
in any general way to the restoration
Of sight.
Now Mr.. Dodds has received from
sightless sufferers more than six thou
sand pathetic appeals; some of them
accompanied by signed checks in blank,
saying: Gill out for any amount you
choose, if you can give me back my
eyes. "--Pittsburgh Post.

DEN MARK.

The International News Service Is
responsible Cor this remarkable story:
Denmark: has been forced to pay q Sc
cret indemnity to Germany for failure
to maintain strict neutrality. The in
demnity eXacted is understood to be
$22,OOO,0OO. The offense occurred last
winter. when the Baltic sea was in
vaded by submarine. To enter the
Baltic sea from the North sea 1t II
necessary to pass through Daqish wa
tiers, strongly guarded by forts. Ger
many secured evidence that the Eng
lish submarines could not have eu-
tered the Baltic without permission or
connivance of the Danish government.
OF all the Scandinavian countries the
Danes are the strongest sympathizers
with the allies and have the strongest
antipathy to Germany. German mer'
chant ships plying between Swedish
and east German ports with food, rub
Der and copper, constituted the only
German merchant traffic which the
war had not suspended. But the havoc
made by the British submarines in the
Baltic so terrorized the German and
Swedish shipmasters that there was a
time when the traffic was at stand
still. When the submarine raids
ceased, Germany waited to see wheth-
err Denmark would protest to England
against the violation Of the neutrality
of the Sound. There was no protest.
A few weeks later a British E-bOat
asked permission to pass through.
Permission was given. The E-boat
passed through and headed straight
for Kiel. This E-boat was German
'U-boat in disguise. It's crew consist
ed Of sailors who spoke good English,
like the crew of the Deutschland.
Crew and officers wore English uni
forms. At Kiel they dropped their
disguise. Their passage had furnished
the German government the evidence
Of Denmark's willingness to allow
what was supposed to be an English
E-boat to violate neutrality. Germany
thereupon made her demands. Ac-
cording to the best-informed bankers,
it was agreed, when Denmark finally
consented to pay damages, that the
transaction should not be published.
1t leaked out in curious way. About
two months ago the rate of exchange
between Copenhagen and Berlin be-
gan to fall sharply. Bankers were
puzzled, as there was nothing in tie
balance of trade to justify it.

SWEDEN.

The bodies drifting ashore from the
great battle Of Skagerrack indicate
chat many of the men had lived for
hours after they had been thrown into
the sea. It is now proposed that the
scandinavian governments make an ef-
fort to save as many survivors as pos
sible in case another naval battle takes
place in the North sea. This time the
Scandinavians did not realize what
they might have done in the line of
saving lives until it was too late.
The Swedish authorities have de-
clared the Swedish steamer Tennis,
captured by the Germans, to be no
prize. The Tennis was brought into
Site, Gotland, owing to an insufficient
cy of coal. The decision followed the
failure of the steamer to leave port
within an allotted time. The authort-
ties also ordered the German prize
crew to leave the vessel.
The Swedish government has per
nitted the expectation Of 5000 rein
deer to Germany. The Germans have
found that it does not pay to import
live deer, so it has been deemed best
to kill the animals In Sweden and
send the food in the shape Of smoked
meat to Germany.
TIE Swedish steamer Hudiskvall
was torpedoed by German stbma-
rfne in the Baltic while on a voyage.
The captain,N with II men of the crew
and five women, took to the boats and

JUICE FROM FRUIT
HOT.WEATHER DRINKS AND
COLD-WEATHER JELLIES.
Member Of the Faculty Of the Missouri
College of Agriculture Tells Of the
Best Methods OF Collect
ing the Juices.

The hot weather led Miss Addie D.
Root Of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture to urge the members of the
girls canning clubs all over the state
to can as much fruit and vegetables as
possible before it is too late. It is one
Of the principles of these clubs, organ
lied and directed by the college, to
see that nothing is wasted If they can
make good use of it. In her recent
letter of directions to the girls Miss
Root makes many suggestions that are
just as applicable in the kitchens of
grown-ups as anywhere else. She says :
"Canning-club members may vary
the work by canning fruit juices. They
are valuable addition to the canning
collection, as they can be used in so
many ways. There is a great advan-
tage in preparing them in large quaint
ties to be used throughout the year.
"Fruit juices lend themselves to a
large variety Of uses such as ices, fla
voring, ice cream, gelatin desserts
buildings and sauces. There is nd
more refreshing and easily prepared
drink for hot day than an iced fruit
juice.
'The juice may be extracted from the
fruit cold by crushing the fruit in a
fruit press or a cider mill or a small
press after it is washed and sorted.
The most economical method for the
extraction Of juice is to cook it out.
IF juicy fruits, such as currants
raspberries and grapes, are being
used, place the clean fruit in an enam.
eled preserving kettle, add just enough
water to prevent burning (one cupful
to four or five quarts of fruit). Place
where fruit will cook rather slowly,
stirring occasionally with a wooden OF
enameled spoon. When the simmer
ing point is reached mash the fruit
then continue heating until the whole
mass is cooked through. Care should
be taken not to heat too long, as thu
delicate flavdf Is destroyed. Pour thu
hot mass into a sufficiently large
piece Of coarse cloth, cheesecloth OF

not squeeze the bag. However, TO-,
general use squeeze the bag until al;
the juice is extracted. From less juicy
fruits, like apples, pears and ounces.
wash the fruit, discard any unsound
portions, cut into small pieces (slins
and seeds included), cover with water;
then proceed just as in case Of juicy
fruits.

NORWAY.

A bill prohibiting all workers on
public conveyances, as we'll as soldiers
and sailors of both the fighting and
merchant fleets from consuming intox-
icating liquors during their working
hours and also six hours before they
take up their duties, has been intro
duced in the storthing. It is believed
that as the majority of the legislators
are in favor Of prohibition the bill will
become law in very short time and
may possibly lead to prohibition
throughout the country. The measure
provides for criminal prosecution Of
offenders against it's articles, the first
offense being punishable by fine and 4
repetition by imprisonment for a
maximum term of three months and
liability to dismissal without POSSIBLE
ity of return to public service. EN-.
ployees on street cars, omnibuses, tax
icabs, railroads and passenger boats
are to be subject to the provisions Of
the bill, as we'll as soldiers and sailors,
but the king has the power to grant
dispensation to the officers and crews
of warships visiting foreign porte
where they may have to be enter
tanned by the hosts or have to give en-
tertainments in return. Most Of the
Norwegian steamship lines already
make it a condition of their contracts
with their officers and crews that they
shall totally abstain from Intoxicating
liquors during their service.
Restoring an ancient cathedral ia
the task that has confronted Prof.
Olaf Nordhagen, the architect who has
practically rebuilt Norway's remark,
able relic Of the early middle ages
the cathedral at Trondhjem. In the
course Of the centuries original plans
have been lost and the appearance of
the cathedral at the time it was built
has become a matter for conjecture
and controversy. What Professor
Nordhagen has to do is virtually tt
construct a new cathedral, and yet
keep within the ancient architectural
limits. Interest in the restoration OF
the cathedral has been revived by Ma,
cody Lund, who advanced q plan OF
his own and asked for an opportunity
to demonstrate it. The question:
raised by Lund, which had to do prin.
cipally with metrical system to de.
termine the lines and dimensions of
the cathedral, started a controversy
which has engaged the attention of ar.
chitects. When Professor Nordhagep
threatened to resign, great numbers
rallied to his support, and it is now be-
lieved that he will be allowed to &C
forward with the work unhampered by
any restrictions Of the storthing.
