Extracts From Letters Nv
Lieut.. Carl W. Shaffcr
Christmas Eve, 1877.


Dear Brother -
Here am over the Atlantic aud we
expect to disembark tomorrow morn
ing. I have just been thinking today
how strangely different this Christmas
time IL from the others 1 have had.
And though I am far away from
home. this voyage has made my fam.
lily and home ties seem 80 much near
or and dearer to me.
1t has been q wonderful trip to me'
SO many new experiences and always
something to do. l wish could sit
down and tell you in detail about the
trip but OF course We have to be very
careful In what we write back home
for fear that the Huns might get hold
OF 1t In some way. We have had ev-
cry convenience on this trip. Just
think OF ship about 500 feet long
and having every convenience OF a
modern hotel, electric lights. hos
baths, Turkish ba'hs, longing and
reading rooms and band concerts
daily. In fact the whole thing re-
minds me of the La Sale Hotel in
Chicago being converted into ship.
We had two rough days when we
first started out but since then the
weather has been fine, consequently
the first few days I had a great many
OF the men to treat for seasickness
and they seemed to be so sick that [
felt sorry for them. Fortunately l
haven't been the least bit sick and
have had wonderful appetite all the
time.
l wish could tell you all about my
trip--at least, can say this much
1 haven't had the least fear of sub
marines on the way over but Of course
we have been prepared for any emer-
gnecy. have been thinking today
that on trip like this, how could a
man feel that there is no God. GER
tainly religion means more to me than
it ever did before and 1 sometimes
think that it takes something just like
this for a man to really know himself
and realize his shortcoming, for cer-
tainly q divine presence is just every
where, away out in the ocean and
amidst some danger.
There are four University of Va.
men on this boat. including Prof.
Dorie Of the law department.
Certainly no one can say that the |

work to do and we have a greatly In
creased number to look after now.
am goin. to make all of my let
ters family" letters from now on, it
doesn't matter b ow they are address

Or the other.

ANNIVERSARY OF SAFETY
LAMP FOR MINERS

While this war has demonstrated
that a great and terrible advance has
been made in the sciene of slaughter,
it. should not be for forgotten that
equally great progress has been made
in the scientific conservation of human
life.
triumphs over the dangers which en-
compass those who toll in the bowels
of the earth. 1t was in the early
days of. 1916, just 102 yearc ago,
that Sir Humphrey Davy, the great
English chemist and natural philoso-
pher, perfected his safety for miners.
Prior to that period miners had to
carry on their work by the FONT and
Pickering light of what was called a
steel MILL consisting of a disk of
steel kept revolving in contact with
a piece of flint. This device was of
little practical value, but those used
other lights were subjected to the con-
slant menace of the deadly fre-damp,
and explosions in which miners were
killed were of frequent occurance.
1t was a terrible calamity which
occurred in 1912, which set two
men thinking about the problem of
providing a, safe lamp for miners One
of them was Sir Humphrey Davy, who
was famous as a scientist throughout
the world; the other was George Ste
phenson, an engine wright at a col
liery near Newcastle. Davy, after a
long investigation into the nature of
fire-damp, the explosive gas respon-
sible for SO many mine disasters, pro-
duced lamp which gave adequate
light and was entirely safe. About
the same time George Stephenson
perfected a similar invention, but, as
the man who afterward perfected the
locomotive was then unknown, Sir
Humphrey received the major share
of the credit for the epochal inven-
ton.
1t was a clergyman, the Rev. John
Hodgson, rector of a church near
Newcastle, who put the Davy safety
lamp to it's first practical test. Sup
Piled with two of the lamps, the brave
rector descended into the Hebron pit,
a mine noted for it's gases. In a ter
rible atmosphere of fire-damp, the
clergyman walked about, and held
his lamp high and low, and saw it
become full of blazing gas without
producing any explosion. A miner
who was not aware of the trial being
made was so terrified when he saw
what seemed to be a blazing candle
that he fell on his knees and began
to pray, certain that death was about
to overtake him

Like Being Hit
By Rattle Snake
Says that every time you cut
or pick at corn you
invite lockjaw

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from 1ockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment few drps are applied to
any corn, the soreness is relieved and
soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts
right out with the fingers, without one
particle of pan.
This freezone is a sticky substance
which dries them oment it is applied
and just loosens thee orn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin: He says a
quarter of an ounce will cost very
little at any of thed rug stores, but
this is sufficient to rid ones feet of
every hard or soft corn or callus.
You are positively warned that
cutting or picking at a corn is a
suicidal habit.-Adv.
