CARPENTER HIT
 BY LIGHTNING
 IS RECOVERING
Trumbull Man Is In Hospital Widespread Damage From
 Thunderstorm.

Peter Christianson of Trumbull, the carpenter who was struck by light ming during the storm that swept the city yesterday, was improving today at St. Vincent's hospital. His neck was severely burned.
 Buildings were damaged, trees were blown down, trolley cars were stalled when their motors were burned out, streets were flooded, telephones out or order and many women tainted in the storm.
 Among the buildings struck were the railroad station, Moose club, court house, the Congregational church at Newtown, the Post Publishing Co. of fees, and the home of Frank D. Bell, vice president of Meigs & Co.,, in Un- quowa hill, Fairfield.
 Barns in Wilton and Westport were struck and burned to the ground. Nearly every cottage on Fairfield beach was affected.
 A bolt that entered the home of MT. and Mrs. Charles Merritt of Milford, struck the floor and burned one shoe of Miss Margery Merritt, and slightly burned her foot. A ladder on the building of the D. M. Read Co. fell through a glass sky light and caused commotion in the building.
 Thirty trolley cars were stalled when their motors burned out. Passengers were frightened.
 The Rumford Hill," cruising yacht from New Jersey, entered the harbor after the storm with its rudder missing. The passengers experienced difficulty weathering the blow.
 Some telephone oles were toppled over and in some instances trees knocked down wires.
 The south gable of the county jail was struck by a bolt of lightning and partly broken of. The prisoners, how ever, were unaffected and weren't al- lowed to stop working. Three valua- ble shade trees in front of the build ingS were blown down.

DIR. MELTZER TELLS HIS TREATMENT FOR
 INFANT PARALYSIS

New York. July 14-Dr. S. J. Meltz- CT, of the Rockefeller Institute, re- ceiTed many inquiries today regarding his treatment of infantile paralysis which was the only one recommended at the special conference of the acad- emy of medicine held last night to dis cuss the disease now epidemic in New York city. He urged the treatment of all cases by intraspinal injection of solutions of adrenalin.
 This procedure" said Dr. Meltzer, "may save life and in surviving cases it may reduce the extent of the final lesion. There is no danger involved. Monkeys stood as large dose as two cubic cenfdmetres in a single infection. However. in human infantile paralysis the injections should begin with dose of five cubic centimetres of adrenalin
 until more is learned of the effects
 The physician declared he had great faith in this treatment because plished with monkeys which had been infected with infantile paralysis.
 There was great demand today for the new health. cards which the department of health has begun to issue for the benefit of citizens who wish to leave New York and fear that the movements will be hampered with extreme uuaSantine in other places. Health Commissioner Emerson said that the certificates were not pass ports which had to be accepted and he conceded that in some towns where absolute quarantine against New York had been declared the authorities 1 might refuse tG honor them.

ACTIVITIES OF SHARKS
 LAID TO SUBMARINES

Binghamton, N. r., July 1.-The Republican Herald sets up the inter- esting theory that the shark raids on the Jersey coast are due to the war operations, submarine and surface, in the seas around Europe which have frightened them westward and\ that the sea monsters, common in Euro- pean waters and especially around Ireland and in the Mediterranean Sea have become accustomed to feasting on human flesh during thep ast two years because over 100000 people have been sent to sea bottoms by submarines of both major and minor fleet operations.
 It argues that like the wolves of Russia, after Napoleon's defeat, and in this war and the lions of Africa after the Boer war, the sharks have become man-eaters because of the opportunity of the war.

Arithmetic Before Moses

LF'rom the Philadelphia Public Ledger
The modern schoolboy may find COM
fort in the fact that for $500 years
schoolboys have been worried by just
such desperate problems in arithmetic
as annoy him most.
Among the archaeological discoveries
in Egypt is a papyrus roll, in excellent
condition, dating from period of about
LOO b. c. This roll, which has a long
heading beginning, Directions how
to attain the knowledge of all dark
things" proves beyond a doubt that the
Egyptian of that time had thorough
tic.
Numerous examples show that their
principal operation with units and frac-
tions were made by means of addition
and multiplication. Subtraction and di-
vision were not known in their present
form, but correct results were obtained
nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the papy-
rus. Here is one which brings the
Egyptian sChoolboy home to us:
Ten measures of barley are to be di-
vidod among ten persons in such man
ner that each subsequent person shall
receive one-eighth of a measure less
than the one before him. Another eX-
ample "iven is: There are seven men,
each one has seven cats, each cat has
eaten seven mice, each mouse has eaten
seven grains of barley. Each grain of
barley would have yielded seven meas
ures of barley. How much barley has
been lost?
The papyrus also contains calcula-
tions Of area, the calculation of the area
OF circle attempts at squaring the
circle. and finally calculation of the
cubic measurements of pyramids.

MAMIE BORROUGHS' IDEA
BY Frederic ]. Haskin

of 16 or II. possessed of a good edu-
cation that was practically worthless
to her. There were already more
teachers than there were places for
them, and the other sources of edu-
Gated employment open to her were
distinctly limited. The only thing for
her to do was to become a servant,
and this she felt beneath her high
standard of knowledge. The result
was that in the majority of cases she
did nothing at all but become bur-
den to her mother, who unfortunately
had not been educated. The only
answer to this problem. as Miss Bor-
Ioughs saw it. was to raise the stand
ard of household sarvice-something
10 be done by colored women alone and
not by the patronage of white persons.
Hence. the need of a school that would
educate the girl and at the same time
teach her a vocation by which she
might become self-supporting.
Miss Borroughs managed to raise
the first thousand dollars among her
own friends, and in little over a year
another five thousand was forthcom-
ing from negroes all over the country,
some sending only five cents or a two
cent stamp. With this six thousand
dollars the property at Lincoln
Heights was bought, including a small
dilapidated structure or eight rooms.
From this small beginning the school
has grown until there are now five
cottages, accommodating a hundred
and ten pupils from 81 States of the
union and three foreign countries. The
courses taught include English, do
mestic science and arts, dressmaking

One Alamo Enough

tFrom the Kansas City Starl
The country would appreciate ii II
the Government could somehow arrange
to have an adequate number of
troops present on these occasions when
MeXicans attack American towns. 1t
isn't necessary TO again demonstrate
that handful OF American soldiers can
defend themselves against almost any
number OF MeXicans. That was DEM
onstrated at the defense of the Alamo
as long ago as 1896 Colonel David
Crockett and Colonel James Bowie, be-
sieged in the old mission. with 1853 SOL
diers held off Santa Anna with an inn
mensely superior force for two weeks.
Then when the walls were preached
they fought until only five of their
original number remained alive.
The country does not see the neces-
sity of any more demonstrations of this
sort. Yet at the attack on Glenn
Springs as at Columbus II was the same
story. At Columbus the American camp
cut off from the, town. At Glenn
Springs nine cavalrymcn surrounded by
the most urgent manner, has told the
country there are not enough Ameri-
can troops to patrol the border. The
Chamberlain army bill, which would
provide a sufficient force. has been re-
iected by the House which stands by
the Hay bill with it's ludicrous provision
adding 10000 men a year to the pres
ent force until it totals 100000.
Must there be another Alamo and vet
another before Congress shall give the
country something more to be proud Of
than the knowledge that American SOL
diers know how to sell their lives dear?

Characteristics of Success

From time to time one runs across
printed lists of characteristics from
which one tries to select a certain num-
ber that II combined into one person.
alty would spell success in business.
Unfortunately we seldom find an in
dividual in whom is concentrated all
that is good and that makes for perfec-
tion.
A juggler OF letters recently took
the word success" and essayed to Sc
lect a likely list of virtues that might
happily combine to insure reasonable
certainty of bringing success. each let
ter of the word success being an initial
letter of one OF the seven virtues. These
virtues are Self-control. Undivided at
tention to the task at hand, Courtesy.
Character, Enthusiasm, Stick to- it =
iveness, and Self-reliance. A careful
analysis, allowing a certain amount
of expansion, will show that these
seven, If possessed in goodly proper
tions, ought to produce a well-balanced
individual to whom success will come
unbidden. because where these seven
get together. success voluntarily at
tends upon their combined efforts.

BRUMBAUGH AND HOME RULE

NOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH has
7 clearly indicated in a number of
his public utterances that he be-
lieves in wider measure of home rule
for the municipalities of the State. lie
is said to be gathering first-hand facts
which will provide him with infor-
nation necessary to make a strong
recommendation to the next LeSis-
lature.
For years the tendency has been
toward Capitalization of authority in
the State and this trend has proven so
burdensome and so appalling in the
matter of expense that there is a de-
mand for a return to the more simple
forms of municipal control. Within
certain constitutional limitations the
cities and boroughs of the Common
wealth should be permitted to work
out their own salvation along proper
and conservative lines. 1t ought not
to be necessary to appeal to some de-
partment of the State government for
permission to do this or that at every
turn in the development of the minor
municipalities Paternal oversight of
the large number of cities in Penn
syivania has increased the burdens of
administration on Capitol Hill to such
an extent that there is danger of
clogging the avenues OF development
and checking municipal expansion.
Having put his hand TO the plow in
this regard, we have no doubt Gov
ernor Brumbaugh will bring the mat
ter so forcefully and directly to the
attention of the next Legislature that
concrete action will certainly follow.
Through the several informative
bureaus of the State government the
Governor is now in touch with munich
pal conditions throughout the Com
monwealth and he is known to be in
hearty accord with the home rule
idea.

FARMERS CREDITS

TIME farmers credits bill passed by
the House of Representative this
week is not exactly what the
average farmer wants, but it is the
best. very likely. that could be gotten
through the present Congress.
Under this measure, if a farmer
desires a loan of $500, he will make
application to the local association
prescribed by the bill and subscribe
for o per cent, or $50 worth, of stock
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS will refer the
application to the associations loan
committee. The committee will view
the land and its report must be unani-
nous. If the directors approve the
report, 1t will be indorsed and for
warded to the loan bank of the dis
trict. The title will then be examined.
the $25 in stock subscribed in the loan
bank and appraisers sent to view the
land. If their report is favorable, the
loan will be made.
The borrowers land must stand Sc
curity for the loan and he will be
liable for all loans of the local asso-
citation to an amount double the stock
he holds, just as stockholders in all
banks are now liable.
Loans will only be made on arst
mortgages on farm land to purchase
land for agricultural purposes and
livestock necessary for the operation
of the farm and for building and other
improvements upon farm lands and to
liquidate existing Indebtedness. -
Loans may be run from five to
thirty-six years and will be payable on
: the amortization plan. Interest must
not exceed 6 per cent. and it is con-
tended by numerous experts who havs
studied the proposition that in many
instances interest at per cent. should
be sufficient to pay Off both principal
and interest in thirty-six years.
The measure is predicated on the
assumption that commercial banks do
not meet the needs of the farmer
Commercial banks must always have
quick assets with which to pay checks
of their depositors.
Farmers require different system
OF credit. it is held, Their loans must
be upon longer terms. They cannot
