Real Haroism, Z

A story came from Switzerland some
years ago of a mountain guide whose
name was not preserved. He, with
two others, was leading party over
one Of the most precipitous passes OF
the higher Alps The men, as is usual
were tied to each other by long rope.
AS they scaled the wall Of ice they
slipped on the edge Of a frightful
chasm. This man was at the end of
the rope. Without his weight there
was chance for the others to regain
their footing; with it there was none.
He cast a glance down at the dark
abyss, filed with fathomless SHOWS
then drew his knife from his belt sa!
ing quietly to the man next him:
"Tell mother how it was, jose"
He cut the rope and fell, never to b
seen of mortal man again.

much disgruntled and did everything
in his power to make things unpleas-
ant for his successor. He filed every
vacant Office he could lay his hands on,
so as to leave as little patronage as
possible for Jefferson. Not only so,
but in the closing hours OF his admin
istration he and his party associates

With 1000 sorrowing persons in
attendance, the funeral of Rev. John
MacLaren Richardson, pastor of the

held at o'clock yesterday Afternoon
from the church at Myrtle avenue
and State street, was one of the 1arg-

BATTLE
CRUISER BLOWN
up; 1853 KILLED
Tsukuba, Seen Here in 1907,
Destroyed By Blast at
YOkosuka.

Toxic, Jan. 15.-The Japanese battle
cruiser Tsukuba was destroyed by an
explosion yesterday in the harbor OF
Yokosuka, an important naval station
13 miles southwest of Yokohama. Fire
on the Tsukuba caused the magazine
to blow up.
One hundred and fifty-three OF the
crew of the Tsukuba were killed and
1877 injured, many Of them seriously.
Many men were rescued from the
water. Most of the officers Of the
cruiser were ashore.
The cause Of the fire is not known.
The Tsukuba had a complement OF
ST. officers and men. She was 440 feet
long and had beam of 70 feet.
Her armament consisted OF four r.
inch guns, IL 6-inch guns, IL 47-inch
guns, two IA Founders, three 3 pound
ers and six machine guns. She also
carried three torpedo tubes. On her
trial trip she, made a speed Of 2O.5
knots. t -
The Tsukuba was the pride Of the
Japanese navy when completed in
1907, and as the newest and largest
battleship in the Mikado's fleet was
sent to the United States to take part
in the great naval pageant in Hamp-
ton Roads. which attracted thousands
of spectators attending the James
town Exposition in May, 1907.
The Tsukaba came to America in
company with the cruiser Chitose,
both vessels being under command Of
Admiral Baron Goro Ijuin, then COM
mander of the second squadron of the
Japanese navy.
The war ships reached Hampton
Roads on May Z, in time for the
pageant, in which warships represent
ing nearly all the, powers took part.
r. The Tsukuba and the Chitose
steamed to New York after the pa
geant. With the Tsukuba leading and
flying the flag of Admiral Ijuin the
warships passed the, Narrows while
the guns at Fort Wadsworth doomed
out a salute, which was answered by
the Tshkuba. The two vessels anch-
ored off Nineteenth street in the
North River. where thousands of Wis
-itors. inspected them. The Tsukuba
was then commanded by Captain Bel
ira Takenoutchi.
The day the warships reached New
York General Tamemoto Kuroki, hero
of the Russo-Japanese war and
Japan's special representative to the
jamestown Exposition, arrived here,
and he and the japanese officers at
: tached to the warships were guests
Iatfmany public functions. The sailors
of the Tsukuba also focked ashore
during her four days stop and were
royalty entertained.
The Tsukuba steamed from New
York on May 20 for Europe, and after
calling at several European ports re-
Z turned to her station in the Pacific.
She was the first Of Japan's battle
cruisers and a sister ship of the
Ikon1a- The keels of both vessels
were laid down in 1905 at the Kure
navy yard, Japan.

Leave, Of the Poison IVY.


No doubt just picture of poison
Ivy is enough to cause SOME folks to
shudder and remember the time their
face and body became scarlet and
swollen from contact with the leaves.
How it itched and burned! Yet to rub
1t was only to make matters worse.
A curious fact is that some persons
are immune from this poison, while
others must not even breathe the pol
len Of the plant. 1t is often confound-
ed with the Virginia creeper, although
the difference between this is distinct
The leaves Of the latter are divided
into five leaflets, while those Of the
former have but three, a fact well
worth remembering.
Strange enough, the witch hazel plant
is sometimes found growing close to
the poison ivy. As witch hazel extract
Is one Of the best remedies for ivy
poisoning it would seem nature was
holding out disease in one hand and
remedy in another.

Tn. Hydra Is It's own Doctor.


A tiny marine animal which consists
merely Of stomach and mouth sur
rounded by tentacles and which is ca
pable of turning itself inside out Is
called the hydra. Sometimes the by
dra's mouth becomes overstretched
through its taking in too much food.
The animal promptly turns itself In
side out, elects the superfuous food
and then returns to its normal condi
ton. If it turns itself inside out ana
can't get back again it eventually dies.
The hydra is its own physician and
performs miracles of healing II Q
tentacle is cut off complete animal
will be formed out of 1t. If the body
is cut in half. and the pieces placed to-
gether they will grow together again:
if not, two entire animals will be form
ed, and any part Of one animal will
grow on to the cut surface Of another.
