Bellefonte, Pa., November 14, 1913. SHOOK OFF DEATH. Ordeal Through Which Archdeaccn Stuck Once Passed. Archdeacon Stuck. who climbed Mount McKinley, the great American peak, once had his life saved in 2a most extraordinary way. Late one eveniug, while exploring in the arctic regions, he was unlucky enough to fall thrqugh the ice into the water on his way back to camp. He was accompanied by an Eskimo boy in charge of a sledge and a team of dogs, and the boy soon had him out again. but as the thermometer was then about 70 degrees below zero the possibility of saving his life seemed very remote. He was wet through, of course, and before a fire could have been got well alight the chances were that he would have frozen to death. The resourceful boy thought of a better plan than that. The explorer was already scarcely able to move, but the boy took one of the dogs out of the traces and forced the archdeacon to take its place. Then he lashed the unfortunate man's legs until he was compelled to run. applying his whip FLOWERS ‘AS FOOD. | In India the Natives Eat Bassia Tree Blossoms Uncooked, In these days one would hardly call a dinner of rosebuds a feast. nor should we be inclined to accept an In- vitation to dine on the blossoms of the pumpkin vine. Yet some Indians, like the old Aztecs, used to esteem these flowers. when properly prepared, a great dainty. So. in the same way, do natives of many parts of India depend for food upon the blossoms of the bassia tree. They do not need even to cook the flowers, but make a good meal of them paw. These blossoms are described as sweet and sickly in odor and taste They are sometimes dried in the sun. when they are kept and sold in ba- zaars as a regular article of diet. The trees are so highly esteemed that the threat of cutting down their bassia trees will generally bring an unruly tilbe to terms. This is perhaps not to be wondered zt when it is considered that a singie tree will yield from 200 to 400 pounds of flowers. The Parsees cook the flowers and also make sweet: meats of them. “Nobody would be inclined to deny that smoked fish and smoked meat are agreeable varieties in our bill of fare, but few. perhaps. would feel ready to plead guilty to a taste for smoked flow- ers. And yet. when we give to the mercilessiy every time the archdeacon clove its well earned place among fla- showed signs of flagging. In this way the boy kept him mov- ing rapidly toward their camp, and by the time they reached it the terrible | languor of death that had threatened to overcome the archdeacon had been | shaken off. —Pearson’'s Weekly. SOOTHING STEINITZ. Pathetic Scene After Lasker Had Beat- en the Old Master. For thirty years the late William Steinitz beat every player who ven- | tured to oppose him and was at last | beaten by a mere youth. I had proph- | esied that his hour had come. writes Robert J. Buckle in the Chess Ama- | teur, and at Hastings the moment he | saw me he rushed in with a redhot attack. “How dare you say Lasker would beat me?’ he almost screamed ! in response to my outstretched hand | and attempt at a smile of welcome. Lasker had actually beaten him, as I had foretold. The crowd looked on for a row. We ware in the dining! room of the Queen's—a score of mas- ters present. 1 took his arm and led | him outside. | “You had no right to say it,” he | cried, “and 1 demand an explanation.” He continued to protest until we had | reached a quiet corner. “Why did | You say it—why did you say it?" he repeated shrilly.
