A typhoon is
W
nurse. An utropheno solution had been
made, yesterday morning by Miss A
thur. This solution was used to dilato
the eyes of one of tho patients. Shortly
after making the solution, Miss Arthur
left the waul in response to a call to
assist in an operation. She left thc
solution in a water pitcher.
Jt is supposed that some ono eamo
throngn tho ward, and, noticing that
there was not much water in tho pitch
er, filled it up.
When Miss Arthur returned to tho
ward, she thought tho solution had been
thrown away and that tho pitcher had
been filled with clean water. Several
patients, laboring under the impression
that the pitcher contained pure water,
poured themselves drinks. Miss Arthur
used the water from tho pitcher in
administering medicine to several pa
tient.s and also gave some patients
drinks from tho pitcher. '.
When tho patients became ill, she
realized that the solution had not been
thrown away, but held her silence on
account of fear of the results. With
tho death of the first patient, District
Attorney Kirby submitted her to a se
vero examination with the result that
she coon broke down and confessed. She
is completely prostrated over the affair,
and it is feared it may result seriously
for her.

JEWISH NEW YEAR
WILL SOON BE HERE
SEPT,
26TH THE DAY, WILL BE
OBSERVED AS FESTIVAL Blf
HEBREWS.
The "blowing of tho ram's horn" on
the morning of Soptombcr 2G will an
nounco tho oncninsr of- the Jewish new
year.
Just 5,CGS years boforo that da'e, ac
cording to Jewish chronology, tlu work
crcal
creation began.
Tho day is observed as a festival in
accordance with the biblical injunction
as minutely outlined in tho Mosaic code,
which was inspired by God daring tho
meeting between God and Jtloscs on
Mount Sanni. Tho day btars thrco
names: tuo jnow icar, uay or Mcmona,
and Dayof Blowing tho Trumpet. The
lnttcr namo comes naturally froM an im
portant fcaturo of tho observance m all
synagogues, .namely, ;tho blowing of
'tho ram's horn.
At this festival tho ram's horn, whtoh
has been flattened out by heat and
fitted with a mouthpiece of tho same
matorial, is blown for tho priests. Three
sorts of blasts' are made the straight
blast, tho Tofliah, tho broken blast (tho
Shobarim) and tho Toriah, or wave-like
sound. . ,
.Tradition says that on New Year's
day God reviews tho actions of tho na
tions and individuals. All aro summon
ed to ropentence. After ten dnys of
opportunity comes tho awful day tho
day of atonement whon God passes
final judgmont on the sins of the world
during the preceding year. This legend,
if it can bo termed a legend, never
theless emphasizes the Jewish teaching
that tho sinner is not doomed becauso
of sin, but can regain purity and divine
favor. '
Tn thi. reformed synagogues but ono
day is observed in connection with the
New Year. Tho orthodox congregations
givo two days to tho festival.
This month is dovoted by tho syna
gogues to preparation for tho ensuing
holy season.

PREDICTS SMOKELESS WARSHIPS
Engineer Says Craft Will Be Movsd
Noiselessly by Gas Engines
WASHINGTON, September 18. Thc
war vessel of thc future will be a swift,
smokeless, noiseless craft, lying low in
the water with every vulnerablo part
below the water line, the entire deck
being given over to the guns.
This prediction is mado by Robert
Haywood Fcrnald, mechanical engineer,
connected with tho United States gcolog
ical survey.
"The gas engine, in my opinion,"
said Air. Fernald, "is feasible on any
vessel because of its economy over tho
Steam engine, but it is especially desir
able on the fighting ship for the reason
that it mnkes' no smoke.
"One of tho big steamship companies
of the great lakes is about to take the
initiative in this movement. Plans
hnvo been made for a freighter that
will use a 2,000 horse power gas engine.
The company is making the experiment
for economical reasons."
