BATTLE WITH A JELlYFlSH
Expert Swimmer Was Forced to Tear
Creature to Pieces With
His Hands.

In the wake of the man-eating shark
has come the ferocious iellyfish--a red,
tentacled terror that attacks swimmers
and stings them until they are almost
frantic with pain.
This is not matter of levity. Will
fred Tuthill, an expert swimmer, had
an encounter with one of the singing
jellyfish one afternoon while swim
ming in the bay at Greenport, Long
Island and was badly stung, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
Mr.. Tuthill's account of the incident
corroborated by witnesses, indicates
that the jellyfish is one of a species
common in the same waters which are
ordinarily infested by the man-eating
shark. Mr. Tuthill said he had bathed
in practically everdy body of water
that touched the United States and in
some other seas as well, but that he
had never experienced anything like
his battle with the jellyfish before

blinded by the pain, and found myself
all entangled with the thing.
''The turning movement of my body
had brought the jellyfish right on top
of me, with his tentacles trailing along
my right side. The pain was excru-
ciating. l tried to fight it off, and as
I had nothing but my hands to do it
with, there was nothing to do but tear
the fish to pieces in handfuls, which /
wrenched off and flung away.

How CRYING HELPS the Baby.

Physicians who specialize in chill
drens diseases are pretty well agreed
that there are many occasions when
crying is of decided benefit to babies,
and that the harder and longer they
cry at such times the better.
The benefit that comes from crying
is largely the result of the change that
takes place in a ehilds breathing. AS
the baby howls and sobs, its expira-
lions are prolonged sometimes for as
much as half a minute, and when they
are interrupted it is by very short in
spiratiOns.

thin, weblike film of white cement.
We returned once more to the grand

granite-lined room containing a sar-

This magnificent gallery, 155 feet long,

Virginia Pearson in "When False
Tongues Speak,"

Long shots" and "close-ups" are
now well understood by all patrons of
the silent drama But a "bird's-eye
shot now makes its appearance for
the first time on the screen in "When
False Tongues Speak, the William
Fox production starring Virginia
Pearson which shows at the Isis thea
ire today.
This novel "shot" hitherto used only
by aviators on the war front is used
by Director Carl Harbaugh to tell the
mystery in "When False Tongues
Speak" The setting was built out of
doors and a bridge built sixty-foot
above it. On this the camera was
placed, shooting down on the scene
and the actors. This was the only
way the Director could show clearly
the movements of the six persons in
volved in the case.
"When False Tongues Speak" is
one Of the best dramas ever produced
by Miss Pearson. 1t Is thrilling and
filled with mystery which is genuine
and plausible. The mystery in this
picture doesn't grow tiresome, rather
it holds the interest to the end when
the ingenious ''bird's-eye shot" re-
lleves the suspense and explains all.
