SAVING A HEAT VICTIM Bun Stricken Reporter Tells How He Was Treated. plunged into a polar bea. Tutors In a 1f? York Street and Then Wakee Ip SudUrnly In an Ice Uatb at Bellevue Honaltal?Mow He Wa? Handled by a Doctor and HI* Attendants. During the recent spell of hot weath er the physicians of Bellevue hospital, In New York, have been doing a noble work In the relief of citizens stricken by the heat. Their ministrations are not only successful In saving the life of the patient, but the process to which the sunstruck one Is subjected Is pleas ant and bracing. This account was written by a reporter for the New Y'ork World who was recently treated at Bellevue for sunstroke: It was a curious series of circum stances that sent me to the isolation ward of Bellevue. Too much to eat at Irregular hours and not half enough sleep, followed by a wild desire to hus tle In the hot sun on an Important news story, gave me a feeling of nwful lassitude and dejection. The work to be done lay over east of Second ave nue. At 5 o'clock I remember labor ing nlong heavily In a slow walk, my legs feeling like bags of sand and my heud throbbing painfully. 1 felt hot, dry, stifling, feverish. Suddenly my lxxl.v seemed to go sail ing smoothly In midair, the unneeded legs floating uselessly under It. All the world was whirling In a mass of red vapor wreaths, and I began to fall. The falling sensation seemed to last for ages. I fell, now fast, now slow, again fast, until I plunged Into the polar sea. Oh, how cold It was! Surely nothing else could be half so cold as this. IMm ly my struggling mind began to re member reading somewhere the Eski mo belief that hell Is a place of eter nal, Illimitable ice. This surely was that pluce. Fuhr. who nobly stood by his fallen companion, afterward as sured me that quite twenty mfnutes elapsed from tlie time I dropped like a log on the hot side of Twenty-fourth street until I began flopping like a newly caught tish In the Ice water tub at Bellevue, but the mind of the pa tient recognized no gap between the fall and the Ice bath. 1 struggled with all the force that was In me to break the grasp of count less hands that held me down In that Icy sea. They were not trying to drown me, for nose and eyes always remained above the waves, but surely they were going to freeze me to death, for the cold of the Icy sea seemed to strike Into the spinal cord Itself. With one last gathering of strength I plunged upward. No use. Eight hands held me fast. Now I noticed that the eight hands were chafing me ceaselessly from head to foot. Per haps, after all, their Intentions were not murderous. As my mind becumo clearer I was able to distinguish the face of the man in command, a. long, studious face, with a square blue chili and lit by kindly blue eyes that gleamed through glasses. "Not so bad now," said the face "What's Ills temperature?" "CJpe hundred and one, six. doctor,"* replied another face, which I had no* seen before. "Good," said the doctor. "Keep the massage going." The eight bands flew over the pa tient's body, rul)bln|*us briskly as the hands of trainers over a football player. There was In the situation a humorous likeness to that of an athlete being rubbed down between rounds. Tie' patient grinned a little nt the Idea. "How're yon feeling?" asked the doc tor. "Kuk kuk - kuk - cold," I replied. "They've got 8,1100 cubic miles of lee and salt packed on the top of the beck of my head." "M-m-m." mused the doctor, while he and his three assistants kept on briskly chafing limbs and body. "What's the temperature?" "Ninety-nine," answered a voice. "Good." was the doetor's comment. "Now, then!" Lifted by 1he eight hands, the pa tlenffi body was wafted from the Icy polar sen to a bed, n small, white cot. I lay back on warns, exquisitely clean woolen blankets and shivered luxuri ously. But the lee mountain at the top of the back of my head still felt so In tensely cold flint it seemed to burn. The doctor cut the string under my ear and took off n big rubber cap filled with cracked tee. I looked down from the cot and saw tieslde the bed a long bathtub on four rubber tired wheels. It was painted white outside and mode of spotless, highly polished zinc with in. A down or more crystal chunks of ice floated In the water. The doctor laughed as I looked down Into the tub and shivered. "You'll do," he salil. "You're all right." After a few hours' rest they brought me n bowl of chicken broth and bade me eat It slowly. I-have never tasted nectar, but surely It must be something like tills. The doctor came In and said i might go homo, but I must be sure to got a long night's sleep. "A knockdown like this tnkes a lot out of you," lie said. "You were not one of the worst oases, but you must be careful. The bath? That wasn't so awfully cold. We never let it get be low S5 degrees F. The cold plunge and plenly of massage stimulated your cir culation and brought tt back to the normal. If you bad been a very bad case we would have given you hypo dermic Injections of digitalis and strychnine to spur the heart to ac tion. But yoti didn't need that," I GOAT AS "LAMB CHOPS." How the Festive Billy t> Trans formed by Buteliers. (Joat, says the department of agrl | culture In a bulletin recently Issued, goat, common garden goat, supplies a Considerable part of the "lamb" and "mutton* handled by the great pack lug bouses and sold by the wholesalers and retailers all over the country. An expert named Thompson, who conducted the goat Investigation, re flects as follows in his report upon goat as a table delicacy, says a Wash ington dispatch to the Kansas City Star: "It is generally agreed by those who speak from experience that the kids of all breeds of goats are a table deli cacy. It Is true that among the great masses uf the people of this country there Is a remarkable and well ground ed prejudice against anything bearing the name of goat. "Within the environments of the larger cities are found many kids, and It Is evident that only a few of them ever grow to maturity. What becomes of the rest? Buteliers and meat deal ers answer this question by saying that they are sold as lamb. No meat j dealer has ever heard a complaint against the Quality of such lamb. "A considerable number of middle aged and old mongrel goats are pur chased by the packing houses of the larger cities. They are purchased as goat, but are sold as mutton, and many of those who so strenuously con [ demn goat have eaten it a score of times." Mr. Thompson adds that the elderly goat Is not as good as good mutton, but that it Is not any worse than bad mutton. lie insists that the prejudice I agalflSt It would disappear If the peo 1 pie would only make a test and eat goat as goat Instead of as lamb. He Is not very hopeful, however, of such a result. Mr. Thompson Is George Payette Thompson, editor of the bu reau of animal industry. He started upon his goat report with the purpose of answering the numerous Inquiries which have reached the bureau as to the possibility of creating a goat In dustry In the United States. It was while Incidentally remarking upon the present size of the Industry that he made the startling statements which confound our morning lamb with goat chops. WITHIN A FLOWERY FENCE. Vovel Feature* PlaiiiMsl For the .VHmcMtovvii Kxhlhttlon In 10O7. Flower displays will be a feature of the Jamestown exhibition In 1907 on the shore of the Hampton Roads, be tween Norfolk and Fort Monroe, says the Washington Post. Over 5,000 small plants were gath ered last .winter for use on tlie grounds. There are more honeysuckle slips than any other shrubs or vines. I Nearly 125.000 honeysuckle plants | were secured. Next In number come slips of periwinkle, and third are the ; trumpet vine plants. Recently the | grounds were inclosed by a wire fence stretched on decorative posts. This fence will be covered with flowers ami verdure. Twenty thousand rosebushes have I been placed along the lines of wire, ami trumpet vine and lioneysuckle have j been planted at intervals. Before the j gates of the exposition open a thick mass of green, commingling with honeysuckle, flowers and red roses, will obscure all outside view. It has been part of the decorative plan evolved by the board of design that native plants should be used as far as possible. Fifty thousand Eu ropean private cuttings, such as are In use for hedges In England, will be used, as well as between 10.000 and 20,000 cuttings of mountain laurel and willow and miscellaneous collections from old Virginia gardens. Among the large shrubs will be bollys, red maples, locusts, flowering dogwood, apple and cherry trees, red cedar, paper mulber ries and water oaks. Several thousand willows are already in position. It has lieen the design to preserve the natural features of the grounds wherever possible. Tlie por tion of tidewater Virginia whore the exhibition is to he held is knotfn for the luxuriance with which plants and flowers grow. Per* 1 atone** of the Darker Itaom.

Tbe Armley burial board at feoffs, In England, Is considering the desirabili ty pf adopting a singular labor saving device for Interments, says tlie Bon don Chronicle, The Invention consists of an appliance for lowering tbe coffins Into the grave, nnd It Is claimed that there Is nothing to offend the sensibili ties of tbe mourners, the body l>elug lowered ilcwly and reverently. When tbo coffin reaches Its resting plaoe tho girths of tlie appliance release them selves automatically. The adoption of tho Invention, It Is pointed out, will prevent the painful sceues that some times occur at funerals. PUPILS TO FURNISH HOUSE. *o?rl Mimlloa.l I'luu at a Sum. mer School In Chicago. Every one of the 7tt) pupils lu tile | Huuiliue vaeat'.ou school In Chicago was recently made a stockholder In a | little gray house that stands In the ' shade of a weeping willow on a lot adjoining the school, says the Chicago Tribune. The bouse was presented to the school for the purpose of making possi J hie the carrying out by Principal Henry F. Crane of what Is regarded by educutors as the most novel plan ever devised for the encouragement of the practical study of domestic science ( and household arts by public school pupils. As it now stands the abandoned dwelling is nu empty shell. Its board ed sides are weather beaten and the j shingles are falling from the roof. In side of the little building- strips of : faded wall paper cling to cracking plaster and the doors are swinging on rusty hinges. The 700 owners of the dwelling are to prepare the house for occupancy, und after it has been thoroughly reno vated the 400 girls, enrolled in classes, are to learn practical housekeeping within its walls. While the boys of the school are re pairing fence and walls and roof the gtib with scrub brush and broom und dust cloth are to Invade the interior and make It clean. Ancf while the boys are i>alntlng the house nnd fence and front steps and trimming the old wil low the girls are to design wall paper with which to adorn the bare plas tered walls. And while the girls are sewing rag carpet with which to cover the boarded floors the boys are to touch up the walls and bang the band paint ed paper. In the manual training department at the school all the furniture is to be manufactured. In the household arts department the girls will make pillow cases and pillow shRms, upholster fur nltnre and embroider elaborate de signs on table covers. When tlie house has been furnished the girls will take lessons In house keeping. And while they are doing all this the basket weaving department lu the school will muko baskets for the house and the clay modeling class will manufacture brtc-a-brnc. SHARK HUNTING COMPANY. Huwnllnn* ?<> Get Oil anil fertiliser 111 Plundering the Sea. A company has been formed at Hon olulu to hunt sharfts on an extensive scale and as a commercial enterprise. Several schooners have lieen purchased and fitted out with the necessary par aphernalia and appliances for captur ing these monsters of the deep, says a special dispatch from Honolulu to the New York Tribune. The purpose of shark hunting Is two fold. One object Is to obtain oil from them, the remainder of the shark to be used In the manufacture of fertil izer for the sugar plantations of the Hawaiian Islands. Shiploads of flsli oftai from the Alaskan salmon can neries are brought to Honolulu every year to be made Into fertilizer, and it Is believed that the bodies of sharks will supply the same material nnd at less oost. The 'ill Is to l>e sent to China, where there Is a great market for it Some shark oil has lieen sent to China from Honolulu for many years, but the greatest drawback to the trade was that until now there was no method whereby the strong odor of the shark could be eliminated from the oil. A successful process has at last been dis covered by the treatment of the oil wHli live steam, nnd n demand has been created for tbls product which is greater than can at present be sup plied. In the fertilizer works It is estimated that thirty tons of shark a day can be utilized and that this will employ the services of at least three schooners nnd tlreir crews. The waters of the Hawaltan Islands teem with sharks, and shark bunting Is a pastime that appeals to many. World's Fnlr nt Milan.
