ASLEEP At WHEEL
DR.. COLLINS OF FREMONT LOST
CONTROL OF CAR.

Fremont, Dec. 5.-Dr. Collins re-
ceived call for aid about five o'clock
Sunday morning, which resulted dis
astrously for him. He answered
the call all right, and started for the
home of the patient who was calling.
| Upon a perfectly smooth road and
with no distractions in his path, the
Doctor must have fallen asleep. At
any rate, nothing about the car broke
but the first he knew he found him
self on the ground at the side of
the road, with the Ford upside down
on top of him. Mr.. Collins realized
| instantly, of course, what had hap
pened. reached up and shut off the
engine, and calmly crawled out from
under the car, made an examination
and found it in bad shape; then
made his way on foot to the home
of the patient DR.. Collins is still
wondering at the myracle which
saved his life.
The Frank Dinsmore home, three
miles east of Fremont, caught fire
on Monday morning from defective
fiue. and considerable damage result.
ed to the entire house. The fire
had a good start when discovered,
and although it was a hard fight
they managed to put it out, but not
until several hundred dollars damage
was done.

AncIents Used Gas In Battle.

The use of burning and asphyxiating
chemicals can be traced back to the
time of Greek writer OF $50 B. c.,
one Aeneas by name. says Medical
Inspector George A. Lung, U. S. ~, in
pamphlet on "Asphyxiating Gases
as a Weapon in Warfare" which was
read originally at the twenty-fourth
annual meeting OF the Association of
Military Surgeons of the United States,
held at Washington last September
He traces the development of Greek
fire, which appears to have had certain
of the asphyxiating effects Of the gases
introduced into the present war by the
Germans, and remarks that during our
own Civil war an inventive genius sug-
gested that Petersburg might be cap
tured by firing into 1t shells loaded
with snuff, which would paralyze the
Confederate garrison by an epidemic
of violent sneezing.-Army and Navy

AIR BUBBLES PROTECT PIER
Great Waves at EI sesundo, in Call
fornia, Are Now Broken Up by
Unique Device.

One Of the most unique and sue
ressful methods for protecting a pier
during a storm is in use at Ell Seq
undo, Cal, the Pathfinder states.
The pier there extended more than
1000 feet into the bay, but violent
storm some time ago carried nearly
half of it away and rocked the re-
naming structure to such an extent
that people feared it, too. would soon
60.
AS Ell Segundo is one of the great
shipping ports of California, it was
recognized as vital to the interests
of the community that the pier be
preserved if possible. With this end
in view a four-inch perforated pipe
was laid in the bay about las feet be-
yond the end of the wharf and paral-
lei to it.
Each end of this pipe was coupled
to other pipes running back to the
pier and attached to two air COM
pressors. Additional piping was laid
around the end of the pier and also
connected with the compressors,
making in all more than 300 feet.
Now when a storm comes up and
waves begin to roll in, the COM
pressors are started working, causing
innumerable air bubbles to rise to
the surface from the perforated
pipes. Almost instantly the waves
often Is feet high-are broken up
into myriads of tiny wavelets no
larger than those seen on a quiet
summer day, while farther out, be-
yond the protected area the waves
roll as high as ever.
AS the pier is a costly structure,
the owners do not feel that they are
subjected to an unduly heavy expense
n protecting it in this manner.

nfernational Neus Serriee

international News Service:
LONDON. Aug. 19.-The 5000
ton Italian liner Stampilia has been
sunk. presumably by a submarine.
says a dispatch to Lloyd's today.
The Stampilia hailed from Genoa.
She was 476 feet long and 50 feet
in the beam and was built i'm 1909.
The Stampilia was in the New
York Genoa trade. she left New
York on July 10 and arrived in
Genoa on July so.
The ship was owned by the Ia
Veloce line and carried two 3-inch
guns for defensive purposes, both
mounted at the stern. She was
commanded by Capt. Lavarello.
The Stampilia is believed to have
been bound from Genoa to New
York when attacked and she was
probably carrying a big passenger
list.
The Mediterranean sea has long
been infested by swarms of both
Austrian and German submarines
and it is supposed that one Of the
underwater boats was lying in wait
for the liner somewhere in the Med
iterranean.
