NEW CHAPEL AT WEST POINT IS DEDICATED

GUIANA SNOW PEAKS

Dutch Expedition Finds High Range of Mountains on Island. Existence of Glittering Ice-Clad Summits Prove to Be Fact —Other Explorers Hitherto Unable to Penetrate Wilderness.

The Hague.—-Until recently none of the many exploring expeditions sent out by England, Germany and Holland had ever succeeded in penetrating into the heart of New Guiana, the great island which is partitioned among the three nations. Swamps, forests and many other difficulties stood in the way, to say nothing of the natives, who were reputed to be savages devoted to head-hunting and cannibalism. Some progress, however, was made. The courses of several rivers were determined and the existence of a lofty range of mountains was verified. The goal of several Dutch expeditions had been the Orange range, the highest peak of which had been named Wilhelmina, and considerable information about it had been obtained. Several of the explorers claimed to have seen snow-covered summits, but about this there was a difference of opinion, some saying that the whiteness might be due to chalky formations of rock. Last year Professor Lorentz and a small party of Nether landers set out to reach these mountains which had seemed so elusive. The professor was familiar with the coast regions and the language of the natives, and he Blso had the assistance of the government. Following a river into the interior, the party succeeded in reaching a high table land never before visited by white men, but the snowy range of mountains could not be seen on account of the proximity of the foothills. Feeling sure that they were proceeding in the right direction, the party pushed on in spite of innumerable difficulties and at last saw the glittering goal of their journey in the far distance. One of the peaks they discovered was christened Juliana. Though most of the members of the expedition were suffering from fever contracted in the jungles, they continued on, leaving all unnecessary articles behind and establishing supply depots for the return trip. The (foctor in the party was too ex-

Chicago “Healthograms” Tell of Many Menacing Evils in City. Wash Vegetables, Don’t Overfeed Baby and Watch Milk, Is Advice of City Physician" to Citizens— Lower Death Rate. Advice for the feeding of new-born babies, warnings against impure milk and unclean vegetables, and another box of literary pills in the form of the übiquitous "healthogram” are mingled In the latest report of the health department, with the cheering information that the public health situation is greatly Improved over the last few weeks. In the week there were 47 deaths less than the week before, the death rate being lower than that of last year. The deaths from acute contagious diseases show a reduction of 50 per cent May, 1910, passed into record with the third highest death rate for the month in 15 years. Deaths from pneumonia were more numerous than In any May tor 50 years, with the exception of two. The reason for the prevalence of pneumonia and the high mortality from the Impure air disease Is assigned by the health department to unseasonably cold weather. Here are some samples of the latest output of the healthogram physician which are guaranteed to prevent many illnesses if read once and thought of twice a day. > "No spit—no consumption.

WEST POINT, N. Y.—The new chapel of the United States Military academy was dedicated the other day with impressive ceremonies, and the demolition of the old chapel already has begun. The new building is a beautiful structure crowning the mountain back of the old cadet barracks. The old chapel was built in 1836 when Sherman, Grant, and Stonewall Jackson were cadets. As it is torn down every stone will be marked and it will be reerected in the West Point cemetery, there to be used as a mortuary chapel. The old pews with their famous nameplates and the memorial tablets all will be replaced.

hausted to proceed and had to be left at one of the depots with some natives. Doctor Lorentz, J. Van Nouhuys and four natives made the final dash and succeeded in reaching the glaciers and fields of eternal snow on the summit of Mount Wilhelmina, more than 15,000 feet above sea level. Several photographs were taken at the highest point and the Dutch flag was planted. Then a hurried return was made, in the course of which Doctor Lorentz sustained a bad fall. He was internally Injured and his companions had to remain with him all night in an exposed spot on the mountain while a terrible storm of wind and snow raged about them. Other mishaps occurred on the return trip and the members of the expedition would have died from starvation if a relief party had not reached them at the last moment When they finally reached Alkmaar, the government coast station, they were welcomed with flags and triumphal arches as heroes who had suffered and accomplished much in the service of science.

Cat Stops Church Concert

Pussy Gets Entangled in Pipes of Organ and Instrument Goes Dumb —Finally Released. Jersey City, N. J. —A black cat born in a church got tangled up in the stops and pipes of the organ the other night and a feature of a concert given there by the Young Women's Christian association had to be scratched. Rev. Paul A. Meury lent his church, the Second Dutch Reformed, in Summit avenue, for the entertainment, and promised to have his organist, Mrs. Prue Robinson, play selections on the $7,000 organ. The organ music was advertised as a feature. The church was crowded when Mrs. Robinson went to the organ. The electric blower was set in motion, but the organist couldn’t produce any notes. The church engineer examined the electrical apparatus and reported it in good order. Mr. Meury and the engineer then climbed up among the pipes and heard a cat mewing. They discovered the church cat,, which was born in the edifice a few months ago,

“Summer—the time to shun meats and take to vegetables. “An uncongenial occupation warps the body and withers the soul. “To relieve worry and sleeplessness take a bath—hot followed by cold. “When you must drink, drink Adams ale. Lake Michigan is full of it “Dirty milk is better food for bacteria than it is for babies.” The bulletin points out that a stomach of the child at birth holds only one ounce and warns against overfeeding. Artificial feeding is to be avoided and not to be resorted to unless it is absolutely necessary, the bulletin advises. s Investigation of a case of typhoid fever in the family of a wealthy Chicagoan resulted in the discovery that the disease had been contracted by eating raw vegetables which had been washed by the farmer in a pool of dirty water. Taking this case as an object lesson, the health department points out that all vegetables always should be washed in the kitchen. Under no other circumstances, says the bulletin, should lettuce, celery, cabbage, radishes and similar vegetables be eaten raw. <

WOMAN’S HOME A SMALL ARK

Chickens, Dogs, Ducks, Pigs and Goats in Three Rooms Gets Woman Into Police Court. New York. —Outside of having 30 chickens, ten ducks, five pigs, four dogs and tw'o goats concealed about her three-room house in the Rocky Hill road, at Bayside, Queens county, Mrs. Annie Curke hasn’t a single pet to keep her company. When brought before Judge O'Keefe In special sessions court' at Jamaica, charged with pemittlng the chickens to peregrinate about the property of her neighbors, it developed that she was conducting an ark. Evidence showed that the ducks occupied the attic, the dogs one of the rooms on the first floor, while the pigs have a front room and bath directly under the place where there would be a bay window if there were one. The goats occupy a cot tage near by and the chickens are not particular where they sleep. Judge O’Keefe suspended sentence when Mrs. Curke charged that the complaint was made by. a land booming concern. She promised to keep her chickens on a leash, but she may hear from the department of health, as a transcript of the testimony was-obtained for its use.

caught in between the piping. It had crawled there evidently while chasing a mouse and couldn’t get out The organ was out of order. Mr. Meury announced the cause and It provoked laughter. Although some disappointment was manifest the program given appeared to satisfy the disgruntled. After it was all over the engineer reached in between the pipes of the organ and pulled out the cat Then he took the animal home so that it shouldn’t go mouse hunting in such a place again. Men were busy later on repairing the delicate wires which the cat had destroyed in getting into the pipe.

SMUGGLE IN MANY DIAMONDS

Importers’ Protective Union Declares Foreigners, Not Tourists, Worst Offenders. New York.—About $10,000,000 worth of diamonds are smuggled into the United States annually, according to a statement issued by the Importers’ Protective union, which has just offered to pay rewards of $2,500 and up for information leading to the arrest of offenders. “An inspection of the returns of sales made by the large exporters in Paris, Vienna, Berlin aqd London shows that the amount of smuggling is enormous,” declared the association’s statement “A good many of the precious stones pass the customs lines in. the possession of members of steamships’ crews, while at the smaller ports of entry, where there are not’ such expert appraisers as in New York, the government is cheated of a considerable sum of money by undervaluation. “The amount of smuggling by tourists is, of eourse, harder to estimate than even the professional smuggling. But It has been said that more has got through In the past without paying duty than ever was declared. 1 “But the really big smuggling—carefully organized and cleverly executed —is done by foreigners. Hollanders from Amsterdam come over here anc travel about the country selling the stones to small jewelers. They offer them at 7 or 8 per cent, reduction on the regular price, and no questions are asked.”

World’s Record Farm.

Mission, Tex. —It is claimed that Charles Volz of the Mission-commun-ity holds the world’s record for profits from intensive farming. He recently sold his Bermuda onion crop on 24 acres for $12,982. Deducting the expenses of planting, cultivating, harvesting, and marketing, the crop left a net return of $9,083. The onion yield from these 24 acres filled IS can.

A Hibernian Verdict.

A New Yorker Is the happy employer of an aged Irishman, who grows eloquent over the woes of the Emerald Isle. Said the boss: “Pat, the king of England Is dead." The old man was silent for a moment Then he took off his hat “Well,” he said slowly, "as a man he was a fine bit of a boy. As Englishmen go, he was as good as yez can make them. As a king, there was nobody on earth as could beat him. But still, I’ll keep me eye on George.”

“There’s a bright side to everything.” “A bright side! Bah!” “Well, there Is.” “Do you mean to tell me, doctor, that there is a bright side to my having had my leg amputated?” “Indeed, there is; and if you could put yourself in my place you could really see it.”

Up to Date Milking Scene.

“What’s going on around here?" asked thp surprised visitor. “Is this a hospital?” “Oh. no,” answered the tall man in the silk hat; “this is the stage setting for a New England farm drama. The next act will be the milking scene." “But I thought the young lady in the antiseptic apron was a trained nurse?” “Oh, no; she is the milkmaid. The young man in the rubber gloves that you thought was a doctor is the farm boy. As soon as they bring in the sterilized stool and the pasteurized pails and find the cow's tooth brush the milking scene will begin.”
