Twisted All Four Masts of the Schooner
James B. Drake.
The four -masted schooner James B.
Drake is 4 'McPhee's shipyard. in East
Boston undergoing repairs for one of
the most peculiar accidents in the his-
t tory of nnvigatiou.
While cruisizzg in:southern waters the
schooner was caught in a cyclonic storm
which revolved around the vessel in
such a manner that: all four of her masts
were twisted in their steps. When the
ship carpenters investigated the schoon-
er preparatory to beginning their work.
they could scarcely believe their eyes.
Plainly Some rotary motion of wind and
storm had caught the poles in a lever-
age, forcing them just half way around.
No explanation is offered for .the masts
not coming out of the vessel. All four
are standing and have been carrying
sail all the way to port.1lo other dam-
age was received during the storm, and
although the masts wee turned they
were not injured in the least;
The accident is the first of its kind in
the memories of the oldest navigators,
about the harbor. They say that of all
freaky gales reported of the tropies this
is the strangest, and manly refused ,to
believe the story until .they had visited
the yard and viewed the schooner them-
selves.—Boston Transcript.
BABY'S GREAT DANGER
DURING HOT WEATHER.
More little lives are lost during the
hot weather than at any other time of
the year, diarrhoea, dysentry, cholera,
infant= and stomach troubles come
without warning, and when a medicine
ie not 4 hand to give proariptly the
short delay too frequently means that
the child has frequently passed beyond
aid During the hot weather menthe
Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in
every home where there are small child-
ren. An occasional dpse of the Tablets
will prevent stomach and bowel troubles.
Or if the trouble conies unawares the
prompt use of this medicine will bring
the child through safely. Mrs. J. Ren-
ard, New Glasgow, Que., says:—"One of
my children had a severe attack of dia-
rrhoea which Baby's Own Tablets
promptly cured. I know of no medicine
so ' good for stomach and bowel
troubles." Sold by medicine dealers or

' Fish Chased Ashore by Whales.
A serious menace to health is threa-
tened at Nahant by the large quantities
of fish which have been thrown up on
the beaches and rocks following, it is
believed, the appearance if porpoises
and large fish supposed to be whales.
Although the fishermen gather them
as the tide recedes many are overlooked.
It is the opinion of the natives that the
fish, which include mackerel, hake, pol-
lock and herring, all small in size, have
been forced' ashore by the larger fish
which have invaded the waters recent-
ly.

ICICLES 60 YEARS OLD.
Odd Discovery Made Under the Sands,
of a Delaware Beach.
Claiming to have found icicles that
have been preserved for over sixty years,
Harry E, Elliott is backed by four com-
panions who were with him irhen the
discovery was made. Over sixty years
ago an old oilhouse, where the fluid was
kept for use in the Cape Henlopen light-
house, was suddenly covered up by the
shifting sands of Rehoboth Beach. No
effort was made to uneover it, and the
sand remained there until many .had for-
gotten that a house bad ever been on
the spot.
' Last week when Harry E. Elliott, a
well known merchant, and four other
companions were walking down the
beach near one of the sand dunes they
noticed the peak of a snraIl house show-'
ing forth and procuring shovels started
to dig the sand away, until finally the
door of the little place appeared. Burst-
ing open the door from its rusted hinges
the men suddenly plunged into a verit-
able icehouse and were astonished to find
icicle's hanging from the roof. The ice
was broken off, but in a few moments
melted away.
Upon investigation it was found that
the old oilhouse had been covered up
for over sixty years and the icicles,
which were formed then, had kept in
the perfectly airtight compartment un-
til the men dug the sand away. —Reho-

RATS AND LEPROSY.
Marine Surgeon Finds Disease in
San Francisco Relents.
Whether it is possible for rats to
transmit leprosy to human beings is a
question which, says a San Francisco
special in the New York Herald, has
come up pointedly here, following a re-
port made by Dr. George McCoy, passed
assistant surgeon or the Marine Hospital
Service to Surgeon -General Wyman. A
peculiar disease similar to leprosy has
ben discovered among the rats in San
Francisco, and experts are now consid-
ering whether it could be transmitted
to persons. The reports of Dr. McCoy
say:
"Soon after being assigned to the ex-
terminations of rats in. San Francisco I
was informed by the city bacteriologist
that he had observed the leprosy -like
disease in one or two instances. He also
showed me gross and microscopic speci-
mens of the lesions.
"I therefore began to look for the
condition and to keep notes on its oc-
currence.
"During the period covered by this
report 13,5(10 rats were examined and
.20 cases of the disease observed. It is
believed, however, that the condition is
more frequent than these figures indi-
cate, as all of the cases observed have
been made in full-grown, large rats, and
the lesions very well marked.
"As to the relation of the disease to
leprosy in man, Dr, W. R. Brinkerhoff,
director of the leprosy investigation sta.
tion at Molokai, Hawaii, states in an
article which appeared in the transac-
tions of the fifteenth annual meeting of
the Hawaiian Territorial Medical Socie-
ty, as follows:
" `The question immediately arises as
to whether this disease of the rat may
not be huma.n leprosy occurring in that
animal. Of course, with the data now
available, it is impossible to give a cate-
goiical answer to this question, but the
geographical distribution of the disease
speaks against an affirmative reply. It
seems more probable that rat leprosy is
to human leprosy as is bovine or avian
tuberculosis to the human disease; rath.
er than that it is like plague or glanders,
a disease common to and transmissible
between two species.' "

that they are extraordinarily nervous

Must Not Smoke in the Theatre.
Paul Mounet appeared at Havre re-
cently as the Missionary Bishop itt "Le
Duel," which we saw in New York last
year with Eben Plympton and Otis Sklar
ner. As he lighted a cigar at the wings
an officer of the fire brigade informed
him that he must not smoke in the •
theatre.
"But it is in the play," explained M.
Mounet; "I am smoking as I go on and
then I throw the cigar on the stage."
"Verywell," replied the officer. So M.
Mounet made his entry as usual; but
following him were two firemen, one of
them with a bucket of water and the
other with a huge sponge. The audience
appreciating the situation, roared and
applauded with delight, and M. Mounet
carefully deposited his 'cigar in the
bucket and wiped his fingers on the
sponge before proceeding with the dia-
logue. They enforce the regulations `
