WOMAN'S ILLNESS, Trouble Had Puzzied Doctors -- Two Uncanny Creatures Make Their _ Appearance -- Had Horrible Eyes and Many Legs--Believed to Have Been Swallowed In Some Impure Water--Sucked Woman's Blood. A gruesome story of a woman's mysterious illness comes from Port Dinorwie, in the slate quarry region of Carnarvenshire," where the wife of a quarryman farmer has vemited two uncanny "live creatures" measuring about three inches long. For the last two years Mrs. Roberts, the wife of a miner, has suffered from pains in the stomach, Dr. Edwards, of Port Dinorwie, has treated her for an ail- ment, from which she was undoubt- edly suffering, but Mrs. Roberts con- tinued to feel unwell, and frequently vomited 'blood and water, and the other day she ejected a mass of blood {and water, containing some living creatures. In the meantime two hor- rible and unknown creatures were found, that were almost exact replicas of gigantic prawns, with large pro- truding eyes, eight or ten long legs and two or four small ones. As far as could be seen, there were no anten- nae. The color of the creatures was black in the main, though the under- parts were a delicate pink. They were thinly shelled, much as a shrimp or a prawn is. They weré three inches in length, and when first vomited were quite an inch and a half in circum- ference. They did not live long after being ejected from the stomach, and were afterwards taken away by Dr. Edwards and preserved. The report of the incident attracted hundreds of people to Penscoins and to Dr. Ed- wards' surgery, the former to see Mrs. Roberts and the latter to try to see the creatures. To her visitors Mrs. Roberts related her experiences. She said that she used to feel the crea- tures running up her gullet from her stomach whenever Shesput tasty food in her mouth, and then creep down into her stomach again as soon as she had swallowed the food. She avers that when shé was trying to ex- pel the second of the two things from her: throat she distinctly felt it biting her. Color is lent to this statement by the fact that Mrs. Roberts has been vomiting blood more or less copiously ever since, and is now so weak that Tr. Edwards has forbidden visitors. Dr. Edwards, however, sees no reason why she should not recover now, unless there are mowe of the creatures inside her. Mrs. Roberts has the fear that there are, as she says she can feel them as before. Dr. Edwards has given her medicine which he hopes will destroy the crea- tures, if any are still left alive. The Robertses are tenants of Mr. Assheton Smith, and that .gentleman the mo- ment he heard of the occurrence pro- ceeded to Dr. Edwards, anfl obtained the creatures, which he at once con- veyed to his own medical attendant, Dr. Grey Edwards of Bangor, with a request that he would thoroughly in- vestigate the matter, and obtain ex- pert opinion on the nature of the creatures. The only theory at present put forward is that Mrs. Roberts must have swallowed the ovum or germ of these creatures when drinking water drawn from the usual supply adjoin- ing her house, and that during the past two years these germs have de- veloped. Dr. Edwards thinks their dark color is due to the fact that they lived by sucking the woman's blood. Indian Detective Trick. A very old Indian detective trick played its part in the argest of the Bengali youth Khurdiram Bese, who threw the bomb which killed Mrs. and Miss Kennedy at Muzufferpore. He was seated in the rajlway sta- tion at Waini, some 20 iles from ing a meal of rice, when stables approached him. Oné of the constables noticed that the youth's saliva had ceased to flow, apparently through fright at the sudden "appear- ance of the policemen; and that, in spite of his nonchalant air, He was unable 'to continue his meal The constable toyed with his man for a while, and then, having his suspicions which he This svstem fire the revolver with trying to shoot himself al among the Indian pelice.

"No." j "AVell, it isa fact. A queen bee can hypnotize her whole hive when- ever she wants to. She makes a cur- ious humming sound, and within' a moment or two every bee in the col omy falls into a hypnotic trance. so a hypnotist of great power. This creature, indeed, makes its living out of hypnotism.

Explanation Is Found In the Special Conditions of Night Vision. Every one must at times have ask-- ed why familiar objects in a dim light tend to assume fantastic and oftentimes alarming appeafances, says a writer in the British Medical Jour- nal. . The explanation is te be found in ' the special conditions of night vision. The pupils are widely dilated snd, as in the photographic lens wita a large diaphragm: the apparatus of accommodation can only focus for 'one plane. As the faculty of estimat- ing distances is in great measure lost in the obs¢ : precision, d a blurred, uncertain outline is thrown upon the retina, Then, too, colors viewed in a fading light lose their distinguishing hue in a fixed sequence until a point is reached at which everything becomes of one uniform gray tint. ? : It follows that the images which are transmitted to the visual centres are profoundly ified in color and outline, and as they enter the eye through the widely dilated pupil at an altogether unusual angle the move- ment of locomotion gives them a peculiar mobility. : Now, one relies on experience for the interpretation of sensorial im- pressions, and when these * present themselves suddenly in an unusual form they create a feeling of insecur- ity which finds expression in mental perturbation and more or less violent motor impulsion.. In fact, the sub- ject finds himself in the position of a horse which sees a rapidly advanc- ing dutomobile for the first time and does not know what to make of it. Imagination aiding, these blurred, mobile and uncertain images are sus- ceptible of the most phahtasmageric interpretation, and in persons . whe are not accustomed to control sen- sorial impressions by the exercise of the intelligence the impressions are accepted as realities and acted upon accordingly. Gamekeepers and others who are accustomed to night work make al- lowance for phenomena of this class and correct the visual deficiency by the aid of other sensesr®uch as hear- ing, which are not dependent on light. JOHN MORLEY. One of the Ablest and Best Beloved of English Statesmen. No man in the public life of Eng- land enjoys a greater popularity than John Morley, the friend and bipgraph- er of" Gladstone, the Secretary of State for India in the 'Cabinet of Premier Asquith and now a member of the House of Lords, having been ennobled by the King at the time of the reorganization of the Liberal ad- ministration consequent upon the re- signation of the late Campbell-Ban- nerman. Although a statesman of high rank, and a man who has com- pelled the respect of friends and foes alike by the independence and fear- lessness of his character, yet his first interests are literary rather than poli- tical. Ome of his most valmable con- tributions to English literature is his biography of Gladstone. Mr. Morley is an advanced radical and has steadfastly adhered to the home rule policy of Gladstone. In fact, it was Mr. Morley who converted Gladstone to the policy of home rule for Ireland. He is a man who pos- sesses fairness of mind and fairness of purpese. He has not acquired great wealth either from Mterature or politics; in fact, he is, relatively, a poor man. He is new 70 years old. His knowledge of public questions and his traiming should make him a valu- able factor in the House of Lords. Indian Cure For Cancer. The Chinese and Japanese surgeons | cure cancer with a common weed. A | small cone made of the dried leaves { is placed on the diseased part, which has been previously moistened, and is lighted at the top, when it burns { down with a temperate, glowing heat and produces a dark spot, the exul- | ceration of which is promoted by the a small quantity of garlic. The ulcer is kept open or heal- ed as the indications of the case re- quire. ~ ; Apropos of this oriental cure, the American Indians undoubtedly came from China, crossing Behring sea, swooping down through Alaska and the valley of the Columbia and secat- tering over this continent. They must have brought the Chinese heat cures along. A medicine man was asked to cure a paleface of cancer. He said: "Indian no cure cancer; Indian cure burn." He was told to go ahead. and { do his best, as the white man was failing fast. So with a redhot poker he burned out the sore wide and broad and deep, then applied his remedies of herbs, etc., and quickly healed the wound. The patient re- covered. A | application of > Arbitration In the Antipodes.

The secretary of the Sydney union is au- thority for the statement that the | award is working to the advantage of | all composing room employes; that | more more are employed and all re- | ceive a little more for fewer hours Lthan formerly. All machine composi- | tion is on a piece basis. 'A clause was | inserted in the scale at the 'request of | the employers which provides for a | slightly reduced wage for those men | who from old age or other causes | cannot do the work required of the { younger and more active employes. | The publishers did not wish to dis- { charge their old employes, men who { had grown old in their service, so in { this manner sought to provide for | their continued enployment.

'His Son Steers Boat Like One fr ity we cannot focus with | DEAD MAN SAILS BACK a . Trance. A weird sea story, strongly reminis- cent of one of Edgar Allan Poe's tales of mystery, was reported from Ply- mouth recently, 3 The little fishing boat Four Not went out to the Eddystone whi grounds. In her were William Poking gto own- er, aged about 60, and his son, a lad of about 17. ¢ Later in the afternoon the boat re- Surhed to Button harbor, in the Catle- water. Rowe sat upright upon a thwart, with his arms folded, gazing out be- yond the bows. His son leaned upon the tiller steering the boat. The wind was light, and she came along slowly. The fishermen upon the pierhead hailed the two men to know what sort of a catch they had aboard, but received no answer. Neither of the figures stirred in the least. This attracted some curiosity, ant a boat went alongside the little k. Then a startling discovery a Rowe was 'dead, and his son appear- ed quite unconscious of his surreund- ings, like a man in a trance. Later on he was able to explain the p the anchor, and then dropped back into the Siting posture in which he was found, never spoke or stirred again. Failure of the heart's action, brought about by heavy exertion in the excessive heat, was the cause of death. When the son realized that his fath- er had expired, he said he felt like one in a dream, and he can only re- member blankly steering the boat for Plymouth, \ LABOR IN ENGLAND. Steady Increase In Membership Among British Unions. From a report qn Brjtishe trade unions, recently issued by the chief registrar of the Friendly Societies, it is sliown that this form of labor or- ganization is steadily increasing in membership and strength, Returns were received for 1906 from 645 tinions, with membership of 1,719,031, an in. crease of 151,512 ever the re of the previous year. Their in- come for the same period was ap- proximately $13,500,000, an increase of $760,000. Their expenditures aggregat- ed $11,400,000 or $1,100,000 less than the year previous. At the present time the funds of these unions total about $29,000,000, some of the leading &nes - being the Amalgamate Society of Engineers, whose funds afe stated to be $3,600, 000; the Amalgamated Cotton Spin- ners, with $2,400,000, and the Durham Miners' Union, with $1,850:000. Taking the returns for the decen- nial periods since 1886, the growth of British trades unionism is feund to be even more remarkable. In that year the membership was 340,893; in 1896, 1,106,507, and in 1907, 1,719,031, the cerresponding income being $3,- 350,000, $8,940,000 and $13,500,000 re- spectively. The funds on hand at each period totaled $2,800,000, $11,200,000 and $29,000,000, as before stated. ------------------ Printing Without Light. Of the many new processes which have been invented in connection with photography * during the last few years none, rhaps, is so re- markable, or will have such far- reaching effects, as the Denisthurpe process of printing without light. , simplicity of the process, together with its economy, makes it a great boon to every photographer, whether a beginner er an expert. Briefly, and without going into too many tech- ncal details, the process is as fal- lows: First, the negative to be printed is immersed in what is known as a "hardening bath" for five minutes. Tt is then rinsed, for two minutes, and placed in a strong dye solution fer another five minutes. After being taken out of the dye solution and rinsed, the negative is 'laid face up- ward on a piece of glass, while a piece of gelatinized paper, which has been soaked in water for two min- utes, is laid face downward on the negative, the two being squeezed to- gether. After a few minutes the paper can be gently pulled off, dipped for-a moment in methylated spirits, ang, after being blotted, the print will dry in five minutes and is finished. Immersion again for half a minute or so in the dye solution makes the negative ready to have another print taken from it in the same manner. In fact! any number of prints can be made from a negative after one hardening bath. To Tell the Age of the Earth. R. J. Strutt, a British scientist. of high standing, in the course of a lec ture at the Royal Institution, London, said that, thanks to recent investiga- tions of radium, it soon would be pos- sible to estimate the exact age of the earth. Accepting the hypothesis that heli- um is comstantly produced, at a defi- nite speed irom radium, Mr. Strutt proposed a quantitative estimation of the radium and the helium present in various minerals, as a means of de- termining their relative ages. Pro- ceeding on similar lines, when once the rate at which radium is trans- formed should have been estimated, a simply operation in arithmetic would solve the problem of the age cf the earth. "I have," said Mr. Strutt, "been able to find that the age of flints ent in chalk, is enly te of the age of the mineral that is bei mined in Cornwall. It is to be that in this way it will be possible to form an exact estimate of the date on which man first appeared upon the earth." Chiltern Hundreds.
