A novel method of diagnosing pleur. isy is described oy P. Lereboullet in the Paris Medical. The examiner ap- plies his ear to the patients chest closing his other ear, while coins arc clinked at the patients back.

Origin of One Proverb.

One obtains historical glimpses in proverbs. The familiar "robbing Peter to pay Paul" is said to derive its ori- gin from the fact that in the reign of Edward VI the lands of St. Peter at Westminster were appropriated to raise money for the repair of St. Paul's.

AVIATORS ARE ALWAYS BUSY
Advantage of Every Moment Of
Good Flying Days.

On good flying days, every moment
of the day is utilized by American avi-
ators in Italy. The men are up at
five O'Clock, and by six flying is in OPP
eraeion. Men go to breakfast in relays,
SO as to ecOnomize time, and shutdown
finds them grudgingly giving up for the
day. One time-saving device l OBJ
served, says James III. Hare in Leslie's
Weekly, was to make landings some
200 meters from the beach, and to have
the next student ready in a boat to
take his place, equipped with his life
preserver and helmet. The exchange
took usually less than two minutes
from the time the engine was stopped
until the propeller was in action again,
and the flight started. This also elimi-
mated the liability of damaging the hy
droplane in Bleaching it, as sometimes
the keel is grounded, or one of the
wings strikes an object, putting the
machine out of commission for time,

man OF MYSTERY
KEEPS SECRET
HaIf-Breed Dies Without Reveal
ing Method of Recovering
the Dead.
GETS DROWNED BODIES
Always Worked at Night, Possessed
an Uncanny Power and Succeeded
Where All Other Methods
Had Failed.

Saltwater, Minn.-John Jeremy, a
mysterious character, who for AZ years
made his living by recovering the
bodies of persons drowned in lakes and
rivers of the northwest, ended his ca
reer recently by committing suicide
after he had shot and killed an ac-
quaintance in a quarrel over a woman.
Jeremy, who was seventy-two years
old and a resident of this place, died
without disclosing his uncanny method
Of bringing bodies to the surface.
One of his notable feats took place
shortly before his death when he re-
covered the body of Miss Helen
Learned of st. Paul, who was drowned
in Lake Phelan several weeks previous
ly. The lake bed had been raked
scores of times and hope had been
abandoned when FISHERMAN john" as
Jeremy was known, announced that he
would find the body. Within a short
time he had succeeded and collected
$1O0 for his work.
Liked Starlight for His Work.
Jeremy worked alone and always at
night. He liked a starry sky, but the
rays Of full moon seemed to hamper
rather than aid him. Some persons
who for years had studied the peculiar
tiles of Jeremy, who was half-breed,
claimed he used trained muskrats to
locate the missing corpses. Others
claimed he knew the freakish twists
and turns of the river and lake cur
rents so well that he needed no other
aid.
FISHERMAN John" began his unique
profession in 1876. His efficiency soon
attracted the attention of the entire
northwest and he received large sums
for the recovery of many of the bodies.
