DROWNING OF SUSSEX MAN
Howard A. Joseph, Drowned in
Texas, Buried at Georgetown

Funeral services for Howard A.
Joseph, aged 20, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles r. Joseph, living on
the Georgetown Laurel highway
near Georgetown, took place from
the home of his parents Wednes-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock with in
terment in Union cemetery on
South Race street. The young man
was an accountant for the Stand
ard Oil Company and was station
ed at Houston, Texas. He was sup
posed to have been drowned on
Sunday, August %, while out in a
skiff with two others fishing. Texas
officials suspected foul play, it is
said, as no water was found in the
lungs and several Investigations
were conducted last week before
they would permit the body to be
shipped to his home. The outcome
of the Investigations have not been
disclosed. So far, however, no ar
rests have been made. Joseph was
a graduate of the Georgetown
High School and of Goldey College,
Wilmington, class of 1921. For
many months he was employed in
accountancy work in Germany and
later in Baltimore. Later he was
transferred to South America, re-
turning to this country less than
six months ago. After spending a
short time here, he went to Hous-
ton. His wife died two years ago
in Baltimore, leaving small child,
Charles Howard, aged three and
a half years. One sister, Mrs. Ruff
us Wilson, of New York City, sur
wives.

Beliefs About Precious Stones

Gar Ivan the Terrible believed
that diamonds restrained fury, OBJ
stinacy and desire for luxury, and
also that the smallest amount of
diamond crushed into powder and
dissolved in drink would poison a
man and even a horse, writes Albert
Parry in Asia Magazine.
The beliefs Of Ivan the Terrible
were typical of the time and the
people. OF other stones he said
that the ruby comforted the heart
and brain and strengthened human
yigOr and memory, since it clarified
the CONCEALED and corrupted blood ;
the emerald successfully combated
uncleanliness Of BLOOD in man; the
sapphire cleared the eye, straight
ened the muscles, preserved and
increased courage, and altogether
was pleasing to the vital senses !;
the turquoise, by turning pale when
applied to the arm of a sick man,
foretold the mans death.

RECORD RAIN FALL AT DOVER
700 Tons of Water to the Acre
Falls i'm Past Twelve Years

There has been recorded in Dover
in the last twelve years several un-
usual records for rain fall. The
peculiar part, as noted by the tab
ulation below, is that they have oc-
Cured IN the month of August.
Questions have been asked whether
an equinoctial storm will follow in
September in spite of the heavy
rain fall in August. The amount
of rain in 1919 caused a flood in
the vicinity of the Water Works to
such an extent that sand bags were
placed against the walls to prevent
the flooding of the machinery. The
rain fall in 1928 washed out the
Garrison Mill bridge, north of
Cheswold. No outstanding damage
was done by the storm of 1881 but
farmers will note the damage to
their corn and fruit crops. An
inch of rain fall means that one
hundred tons of water has fallen
on one acre. An inspection of the
figures below will show that over
seven hundred tons of water fell on
one acre during the month of Aug
ust. 1881:

SOME COFFEE DRINKER
Man Who Drinks Forty Cups DAY
Holds "Open House" for Men

Harry Reynolds, whose home is
in Pittsburgh, Pa, but who for sew
eral months has been employed at
the Hotel Henlopen, Rehobth Beach
and in the drugstore of Blackstone.
Inc, Georgetown, is entitled to be
called one of the champion coffee
drinkers of the United States.
Reynolds drinks but little, if any
water. during the day but instead
takes his cup of coffee about every
half hour. He averages from 35
to 40 cups each day and says he
feels no i'll effects from it. Some
days ago he rented the Faucet res
idence on Market street, between
Railroad avenue and Race street.
Georgetown, and has converted it
into a retreat for the young men
who are out of employment. He is
conducting an "open house" for
them, and says his idea is to give
them a place to loaf instead of
gathering on the street corners.

Action of Roentpen Rays

A German psychist, Wilhelm Kon-
rad Roentgen. born at Lennep, in
Prussia. in 1915, discovered the
Xray, or ROentgen rays, in 1895.
He was a professor at Wurzburg
at the time The X-rays are
known to be vibrations of the
ether. similar to but much more
rapid than those of light. The
wave length is so extremely short
that every substance, regardless of
color. is more or less transparent
to them. A simple explanation of
them is that when z high tension
electric current is sent through a
glass tube from which the air has
been highly exhausted. the negative
pole or cathode sends ont an in
visible stream of negatively charged
particles called cathode rays. These
rays can be brought to a focus like
light, and when focused on a me-
tallic target within the tube, the
metal becomes intensely hot and
gives off these Roentgen rays, or
