Last week a man giving his name as Hllllard and Harrlsburg as his borne, drifted into town and on Friday after noon gave a most remarkable exhi bition before the local Medloat Society of his power to dislocate and replace joints by voluntary evolution. Mr. Hllllard could mako three dislocations at one time, hip, knee and ankle, also shouldor, elbow and wrist, and replace the dislocations at will. Mr. Hllllard says his his father, himself and h's son all threo have the power to dis locate and roplaofl their joints at will and that there are few, If any, other men in the country that can dislocate the three joints at one time. All three of the mon are giving exhibitions and lectures before medical societies almost continuously. Mr. Hllllard gave a very interesting talk to the doctors Friday, no olalms that it is not by training that either himself, his father or son are able to perform this wonderful feat of dislocating their bones, but that they were all three born with that power.

Drilling for gas and oil goes on apaoe in many localities In Jefferson and Indiana counties, but there is very little doing as to practical results, ex cepting at Syknsville, whore everybody that owns property can have a gasser If they so doslre. And they don't need to bore half way tbrougb the earth 'to get it in the Stump Creek metropolis, either. Any old bole 114 feet doep will yield gas at Sykesville, and at least a dozen fain II Ins reouive tbelr supply of fuel for all purposes from a hole In the back yard. Wednosday a Punxsutawney expert on gas wells was called up by Mr. Saddler, a Sykesville merchant, who wanted to know how to control and utilize a flow of gas be has bud on hand for several days. Mr. Saddler put down a well, expecting to get water, but when the drill got to a depth of J 14 feet the gas pressure be came 8') strong that the digging was abandoned. The desired information was telephoned to the inquisitor and now another Sykesville family need not bother about where tr.e fuel is to come from. J. B. Sykes, the well known botol proprietor, of Sykesville, developed a well soveral years ago and he Is still getting bis fuel from that source. The rock pressure is not great, but sufficient for domestic purposes. It is reported that the company which Is developing the Paradise tei ritory, In Henderson township, is hav ing more or less trouble. The well on the Andrew Pifor farm Is down 2 8(H) feet, but the drill ,'haB not boon operated for several eeks. The com pany has about 6,000 acres under loaso. and expect to go down 3,500 feet. Punxsutawney Spirit. The Sleeping 81cknese. The terrible sleeping sickness of tropical Africa Is discussed nt length in nu article In Fopulnr Mechanics. The disease, which long bullied scien tists, Is spread by the tsetse fly, a bloodsucking, day flying Insect. On the approach of either man or animal at a river crossing in the densest forest tho victim is soon scented out by the fly, if there Is one In the vicinity, and then, cither silently or with a peevish buzz, It makes straight for the most accessible spot and gives Its stab. Tho usunl course of the disease Is from four to eight months. At the outset there are li endue he, a feverish condlton, lassitude and a correspond ing disinclination to work. The facial aspect changes, and a previously happy and Intelligent looking negro becomes Instend dull, heavy nnd . npathetie, Later, tremor in the tongue develops, speech is uncertain, and mumbling, walk shuffling and progressive weak ness, drowsiness and oblivion to his surroundings afflict tho sufTerer. The last stage Is marked by extreme ema ciation and a coma deepening into Jeatu. An Elixir of Life. "An annuity Is the best elixir of life I know of," snld the examining physi cian of an insurance company. "It sometimes seems ns If annuitants never die. We have lot? on our books who top eighty, ninety and even ninety-five yenrs. I have passed many a sickly nnd decrepit old fellow as a good annuity risk the sicklier they are, you know, the better risk tbey make and the next year he has turn ed up to collect his annuity rejuvenat ed, rosy, spry as a boy. The secret? The secret is that financial worry, fear of tbe poorhouse, ages and kills off more people than all the deadly dis eases combined. Release an old man by means of an annuity from all this worry, and he throws off his years and walks erect and happy and fearlessly young." Hatmaking In the East Indies.

KING COAL While He Lives His Throne Is Fixed In the United States. The part played by coal lu tbe world's affairs can well be Illustrated by assuming the available supply to be suddenly cnt off. The huge rail road systems of America would stop at once. So also would the electric power and lighting In ail cities and suburbs. Steamship service would cease everywhere. Transit facilities would be dead. Factories, manufac tories and shops would close down. Vast Industries like steel, Iron, copper, etc., would cease. Armies of laborers would be thrown out of work. Malls, schools, the navy, newspapers, foreign and Internal trade all would cease to rxlst. The trilogy governing commer cial ndvnnco, hent, light and power, except a negligible amount of water, oil, etc., would be annihilated nil this until some other form of power could be developed. The possibility of such k cntiiclysm Is not imminent, for coal will reign for some time yet and Is destined to beconio a power whoso ca pabilities have as yet been compara tively felt only more faintly than would a feather on the hide of an elephant. The world needs conl. Tho United States has that coal to deliver. It will be wholly naturul that so potent a ne cessity will make for continued peace and understanding among the powers of the world.

Quaint Art and Humor of the Ancient Egyptians. The fubles of Aesop prove that tbe ancients were not without a liking for fun, and the remains of ancient art tell the same story. Examples of ar tistic humor are more common than Is generally supposed. A drawing on n tile In the New York museum represents a cat dressed as an Egyptian woman of fashion. She Is seated languidly on a chair, sipping wine out of a small bowl and being fanned and offered dainties by an ab ject looking tomcat with his tail be tween his legs. 'ihe cat figures largely in tbe ancient comic groups of animal life. In a papyrus In the British museum a flock of geese are being driven by a cat and a herd of goats by two wolves with crooks and wallets. One of the wolves is playing a double pipe. There is In Turin a papyrus roll that displays a whole series of such comical scenes. In the first place, a lion, a crocodile and an ape are giving a vo cal and Instrumental concert. Nest comes an ass dressed, armed and scep tered like a pbaraoh. Wlth majestic swagger he receives the gifts present ed to him by a cat of high degree, to which a bull acta as proud conductor. A lion and a gazelle are playing at draughts, a hippopotamus Is perched In a tree, and a hawk has climbed Into the tree and Is trying to dislodge him. Another picture shows a pharaoh In the shape of a rat drawn in a carriage by prancing greyhounds. He Is pro ceeding to storm a fort garrisoned by cats having no arms, bnt teeth and claws, whereas the rats have battle axes, shields and bows and arrows, St Louis Republic. V Inconsistent.

HEAVY INCREASE OF LAKE TRAFFIC IN RECENT YEARS Interesting Facts About the Immense Tonnage of Iron Ore, Oiain and Package Traffic. In order that It may be able to handle with dispatch all package freight that may be offered It, tho Erie and Western Transportation Company a Penn'syl vanla Railroad subsidiary oompany operating the Anchor Lino on tfie Great Lakes has placed a contract for a 5.000 ton steel paokage freight steam er, to be called the "Conemaugh." She will be a sister ship of the "Wlssa hlokon," which was placed in sorvloe in August, 107. ' Traffic on tbe Great Lakes has In creased so rapidly in the past twenty years that It has reached a point where a fleet of nearly 3,000 vessels Is required to ball the 100,000,000 tons of freight that pass through the lakes every year In the eight months of tbe navi gable season. It has been estimated that this amount of freight would make a train long enough to encircle the world, and have about 2,000 miles of oars left over. The greater part of the lake trafflo l In grain and Iron ore, tbe tonnage of the latter having inoreased from 2,500,000 tons In 1885 to 41,000,000 tons In 1907. Tbe Inorease In paokage freight has been porportlonate to tbe growth of shipments of heavy com modltles, and It is to he prepared for such further Inorease as may oome that tbe Anchor Line has ordered a new steamer, to be equipped with tbe most Improved machinery for handling package freight.
