MAN FIGHTS JELLYFISH. -,
Swimmer Sent to a Hospital After .
Life and Death Struggle.

Lire and Deatn struggle.
Santa Barbara, CaL-G. 81. Wilson
was sent to the Cottage hospital here
In a critical condition recently. He
had a life and death struggle with a
huge jellyfish. Four hundred feet from
shore, off Serena, Wilson was sudden
ly attacked.
He saw before him what he later
said looked like a huge sheet Of butter
and eggs. Suddenly the strips of yell
low and white began to separate from
the mass and extend toward him. He
turned to swim out Of reach when the
creature threw its tentacles about him.
and the mad fight was on. In the
struggle Wilson broke the mass into
fragments, but reached the shore ex-
hausted and his face and shoulders
singing as though from scalds.
At the hospital 1t was said that the
patient would recover. His pain at
times was so intense that morphine
had to be administered. His shoulders
and face resemble one mass Of poison
oak burns.

Clinton, Mo.-Dusty and travel worn.
but with his long strides retaining the
vigor Of all his eighteen years Of back
woods life, Clarence Barton trudged
into town after covering 100 miles
from Turner, Mo. He came In the
heat and dust over the miles Of hills
afoot to attend the Missouri confer
ences Of the Seventh Day Adventists.
And this youth has lived a strange
life In the very modern and up to date
state Of Missouri.
In all his eighteen years he never
tasted a mouthful Of meat. Never has
a drink of tea or coffee passed his
lips. His meager fare Of daily food
has never been seasoned with pepper.
He never has tasted q drop Of alcohol
In any form and does not know the
tang Of tobacco smoke. And he Is q
perfect specimen-a young backwoods
giant. Barton excelled In all the
sports Of the camp.

The Making of Clipped Glass.
Sheets of glass that are covered with
q shell-like raised pattern are In use
for screens, partitions. electric light
fixtures and other purposes. This
Clipped glass, for the pattern Is often
really Clipped out Of the surface, in
wolves a process that is interesting.
The sheet Of glass to be treated Is
placed under a sand blast in order to
give 1t a grain. This ground surface
Is next treated with q solution Of good
glue, and the glass is placed in a dry
ing room on O rack, where 1t remains
for some hours. Next the sheets Of
glass are removed to the chipping
room, where they are placed on edge
back to back. with the coated surfaces
outward. This room is heated by
steam coils, and when the heat is turn
ed on the glue reaches its utmost de-
gree of desiccation and curls off the
glass in pieces from the size of dime
to that of n silver dollar, but it ad-
heres so closely to the glass that In
its effort to get free it tears a piece
off the surface, the result being a
beautiful pattern.

OF the popularity OF the Kennedy
shows II the manner In which the
attendance has increased each after
