Schiaparelli, the astronomer who first
discovered the so called “canals” of
Mars, did so with a much smaller- tele-
scope than those' in use in many other
observatories at that time. And yet he
is a very nearsighted man. Garrett P.
Serviss of Brooklyn, in speaking of his
first interview with the eminent Italian,
said that Schiaparelli would hold a vis-
itor’s card within five or six inches of
his eyes in order to decipher it. The sin-
gular, part of this story is not that a
man with such an infirmity should be
able to outdo other astronomers, for
keenness of vision depends rather upon
the retina than the convexity of the
lenses of the eye, and the eyepiece of a
.telescope can be focussed so as to suit
the latter. But it does seem a little odd
that the gifted scientist in question
should habitually refrain from wearing
eyeglasses. Possibly he has a theory as
to the effect of their use upon his visua3
powers. ’

I think much of the outcry against
candy is the result of wrong methods of
use. It can often be safely taken at meal
time with good results. Scientists say
that the food value of sugar is very
great. A pound of sugar contains much
more energy and power to support ani-
mal life than a pound of meat. If 'candy
is ”akentnnder such conditions thatdt
' ‘ wil not-'derange the digestive apparatus,”
it is perfectly wise and rational to be a
candy clitoris-«Annals gffiygiene.

. ' THE STRANDED sr. PAjllh.
Still Waiting For High \Vater and Favor-
able Winds to Haul Her om .
NEW’ YORK, Jan. 29.—There Was no
change today in, the position of the St.
Paul, which is stranded on the beach at
removed as rapidly as posSible, but it is
‘ not likely to been out for a day or two
yet. ' Several lighter loads have been re-
moved and brought to the city. The ship
has listed considerably to port. Owing to
the strong northwesterly wig? which has
full play against the side the vessel,
which is parallel with the shore. The
cargo is being removed by longshoremen,
and 800 of the crew of the St. Paul Were
taken to the city to serve or! the St. Louis,
which stalls in place of her sister ship to-
morrow. No effort was made today to pull
the ship 01!, and the only tugs about were
the two which were looking after the
kedge anchors. '
It was said at the office of the company
today that no effort would be made to
that her nowuntil the wind changes or
the tide is so high as to give some assur~
ance of ' success. The higher tides which
are due tomorrow and Friday will not
amount to much if the present winds hold,
as the gain will be but little over an ordi-
nary tide with the heavy wind driving the
water down. The ship is resting easily
and Captain Merritt still says that she is
in no present danger. ,
Before daybreak signals were set for, a
pilot. At about 10 o’clock one was taken
on board. It is understood that he is to
be there waiting for the removal of the
ship in order to take hei- to her pier.
In spite of allreports to the contrary,
company that no, trouble has been experi-
The reports that some pieces have been
lost overboard is absolutely denied. The
question of the removal of the gold which
is on board will be decided later, and
when Captain Merritt and the officers
agree that it is safe to take the kegs off, it
will be done. '
The sand has backed up against the
port side of the ship as she has formed a
big breakwater, and it will probably be
necessary to drag her a short distance up
the shore to get her from behind this
bank. There is a possibility that deeper
water will also be found farther north.
PRAISE. ros MOSLEMS.
Discovery of Some Turks \Vho Actually
, Believed Humanely.
BOSTON, Jan. 29.—It is learned by late
advices from Aintab, eastern Turkey, that
many Christans there were saved from
massacres in the recent disturbances
through having been assisted by tho Mos-
lems, and that the missionaries did very
efficient medical work among the victims
of the raids. The writers refer to the at-
tacks upon the Aintab Christians, as a re-
sult of which hundreds were kliled and
wounded, and say that quite early the fol—
lowing _morning the Moslems began to
bring the wounded into the missionary
hopsital, but the physicians and all the
skilled attendant-s except two were away,
so these two had to care for all the pa-
tients. There were too many of them to
take care of in anything but battlefield
style. Wounded men came in by the score.
Eight patients died in the hospital.
Continuing, one of the writers says:
“The dead are about 400 or so in all. The
money loss is enormous. At a venture I
should say that the sum actually plun—
dered would exceed $500,000. ”
These advices also state that, while in
some places Moslems, who were supposed
to be friendly to the Christians, either
plundered or at least failed to assist them,
in other instances large numbers of Mos-
lems interfered to help Christians, and
had they not done so the loss of life and
property would have been much greater.
Java. Bank Notes Forged.
TACOMA, Jan. 20.-—Reccnt advicesfrom
Chini tell of the uttering by Chinese
forgers. on the island of Java, of $3,000,-
000 of Java. bank notes. In order to get
notes accepted forged notarial acceptances
were placed on them. .lready $600,000
discovered, and many prominent Chinese
merchants have been placed under arrest.
A Famous Musician Dead.
LONDON, Jan. 29.—-—Sir Joseph Barnby,
the well known musician and principal of
the Guildhall School of Music, died today.
He had long suffered from an internal
complaint, and was much upset at the
death of his friend, Lord Leighton. Sir
Joseph breakfasted as usual, and was then
suddenly attacked with hemorrhage of the
brain, dying almost immediately.
The Late Embassador Runyon."
BERLIN, Ja’n. 29.——A funeral service
over the body of Theodore Runyon, late
ambassador of the United States to Gcr~
many, took place at his late residence at 3
o’clock this afternoon. Only the family
and the officials of the embassy were pres-
ent. The official funeral ceremonies will
take place at Castle Mondijon on Thurs-
day.

SULLIVAN, 1115., Jan. 29.——A mob sur-
