fifteen years old.
Captain Chelton had a record un
equaled in America for saving human
lives, thCEcore to bis credit being 83,
and his work in this direction begin

of fifteen years, he leaped into the ba

fallen overboard. An effort was made
to raise a purse for the lad, but he re
fused to accept anything and he never

To his dying day, however, he was
proud of a United States medal
awarded by congress in 1902, follow

saver, has also taken a life. This
was when he was a deputy sheriff of
Somerset county. On May 28, 1907,
he attempted to arrest Frederick
Long, who was wanted for larieny. He
ordered long to surrender, but the

He Is said to have had ample cause
for believing republics ungrateful, for
he joined the Union army at the out
break of the Civil war, expecting a
bounty of $300 besides his pay for a
long service. When his term of en

with Uncle Sam he received a check
for $6 which, he was told, was all that
was coming to him. He never cashed
the check, but kept it as a souvenir.
During a greater part of his time in
the army he was piloting federal gun
boats In Maryland and Virginia wa

he piloted three gunboats in an attack
on Cherrystone, the fight lasting from

SEES GROWTH OF LUNACY

prophecy Dr. Forbes Wlnslow made.
This prophecy is based upon the pres

revealed by decent returns.
Doctor Wlnslow expressed -strong
disagreement with the etatement
made at the Eugenics congress by
Doctor Mott to the effect that increase
in lunacy was more apparent than
real, and told a press representative
that in making such a statement Doc
tor Mott apparently referred to. Lon

that from his knowledge of the prog
ress of lunacy in all parts of the
world he had come to the conclusion
that "we are rapidly approaching a
mad world." He aSded: "la every

Ills ambition would seem to be

is a farmer. He had to occupy a spe

table no one could sit opposite him be
cause of the length of his legs.
To th'e immigration inspectors he
said he would go west to purchase a

woman he would make her his wife.
Zlemazus was well supplied with

tered lunatics in 1859. but l35,ouo at
the present day. That showed the
alarming increase."
If Doctor Mott's theory is accepted,
we Bhall wake un when it is too late
to nrevent a further increase. What
happened to the pauper class in Lon
don, as an alleged proof against tne
real increase of lunacy, was very
much beside the question, taken as a
whole. Fifty years ago there was one
lunatic in 575 of the population, but
now one in 236. . At that rate of prog
ress, he said, in three hundred years'
time there would be, more lunatics in
the world than sane people.

German Scientists Advise the Eating
of Egg Shells by Those Who Ap
proach Old Age. .
Two Germans, deep thinkers Pro
fessors Emmerich and Loewe state
that egg shellB eaten increase the
power of resistance against "he with
ering blight of time," add weight to'
the body, activity to the brain and
strength to the heart; that they de
stroy injurious bacilli, prevent inflam
mation and disease and lend courage
and energy. This reminds me, Phil
ip Hale writes in the Boston Herald,
of the preparation advertised. in Lon
don thirty or more years ago as re
moving superfluous hair, being an ex
cellent substitute for table butter,
none genuine unless stamped on. the
blade. Eustace Miles, the English
court tennis player and vegetarian,
says he bad an old nurse who used
to eat egg shells and crunch them Joy
fully between the teeth that happened
to meet, and .she said she ate the
shells because they "shaved the hair
off Inside of the throat" The discov
ery of the German scientist is pecull-'
arty welcome to dwellers by the
ocean, for it is a well known fact that
If you do not break egg shells the
witches will put out to sea In them to
wreck vessels, and if you burn' the :
shells the bens will cease to lay.
Furthermore, as eggs are now absurd
ly high even case eggs In the neigh
borhood it seems a pity to waste any
part of them.
