From the lips of survivors of the tor
pedoed transport President Lincoln has
come the story of the clear-hesded
heroism of Lieut.. Edward 1saacs, .
young Chicago naval officer, who sur
rendered himself as q hostage to the
U-bost crew to save his captain from
. German prison camp.
By doing 20 he undoubtedly saved
the lives Of the Americans in the life
bosts, for it wss due to the seaman
ship Of the captain that they made
neutrality-suspicious. with our destroyers,
Since Lieut.. Isases descended into
the dark hold Of the diver there has
been no word Of him. ar#
Whether be 10 now q prisoner in
Germany or whether he shared in some
swift vengeance that may have over
taken the submarine is not known.
The survivors of the sunken liner.
landed safely at IN Atlantic port, have
brought the story of courageous SELF
sacrifice.
His name and bis deed are their most
vivid memories Of that perilous night.
George Cochran told the story. Coch-
ran, a member of the gun crew, leap
ed overheard as the great snip lurched
for its final plunge and swan for half
an hour before reaching life raft.
The raft was picked up by the boat
which was in charge of Lieut.. Isaacs.
The captain had all the boats lashed
together, and so they drifted ali night
while the men sang. The U-boat fol-
lowed like hungry shark greedy for
a chance at some rescue ship.
Once the canvas coverings were
whipped off and the guns were turned
on the boats, but the U.boat captain
changed his mind. j.
According to Cochran's story, the
submarine glided alongside the little
fleet and the captain demanded that the
captain Of the ship be turned over as .
trophy Of the sinking Of the transport
to be taken to Berlin. ...., -
Ensign Black offered himself, but the
U.boat captain laughed heartily.
II know you, llack, ;; he said. Il
don wsnt ypa, g s. ~, ~
And suddenly Black remembered him
as a clsssmate at Harvard.
The officers had not had time to don
their coats and in their shirtsleeves
they did not reveal their rank.
Lieut.. Isascs alone wore his epau-
lettes. The U.boat captain singled
him out X
"Well, SIR" he said. II guess we'll
take you."
Lieut.. Isaacs saluted. "All right.
SIR" he replied. "
Rising, he turned, waved his hands
to the men, and said: Goodbye, boys:
it's the fortune of war;"
Hands reached down from the U-boat
and Isaacs was swung aboard. He
waved once more and climbed down in.
to the divers hold. A minute later the
boat submerged and was seen no more.

ELEPHANTS
 MOVE GUNS

In India elephants are used in many ways in the army, especially in nov ing artillery. Of their work In this line British writer says:
 "When a gun cones to grief the ele- phant marches up with the important air of an experienced engineer and de- liberately inspacts the state of affairs. ThrustinG his trunk around the spoke of wheel, he gives 1t lift as if to ascertain the depth and tenacity of the mud and then quietly walks around and does the same by the other wheel, dropping it again with a funny twin kle of the eye as If ,he said to himself. All right; can start her, think
 "Then he deliberAtes for few min utes, gives a slight push here and a slight push there. when, having at last made up his mind as to the best mode of procedure, he probably applies his forehead-whlch has been padded for the purpose-to the muzzle of the gun snd, uttering a shrill, trumpet-llke sound as a signal for the gun bullocks to pull together. pushes against 1t with all his weight, while the bullOcks obey the signal and pull away too.
 This generally starts the gun. But if the bullocks are Sulky and refuse to obey the signal the elephant gets per rectly furious and rushes at them, brandIshing his trunk with such fero, city as usually compels obedience"

 For weak or disordered kidneys.
 Here is reliable evidence of their worth.
 Wm. A. Quayle prop. electric motor repair shop, 991 Harrison St., san Francisco, Calf, says: 'T was troubled with my kidneys for about two months. The kidney secretions were profuse and highly oolored and had to get up four or five times at night to pass them. I worked in lead mine 8 number of years ago and think that was the cause of my trouble. I became wor- ried and went to a drug store and asked for the best kidney medicine. Doan's Kidney Pills promptly re- moved the trouble with my kidneys and I have had no sign of 1t since"

How Root, Penetrate Hard Ground.

How Roots Penetrate Hard Ground.
 The extreme tips of delicate root are protected by a sheath set with minute scales, which as 1t is worn away by friction against the soil is as constantly replaced, so that 1t acts as wedge and the root thread is carried down uninjured. Another aid to pene- tration lies In the provision whereby the root as 1t pushes downward In search of nOurishment exercises a slightly spiral. screwlike motion which worms It's tip Into the ground. Another important agent is the acid cell sap, which exudes on to and dissolves to some extent the rock or hard soil. This may be tested by placing d small piece of polished marble fin pot in which a plant Is set and covering it with earth. After some weeks the marble will be found to have been cOrrOded by the continuous action of thlS acid.
