Washington. The benevolent cruis
ers of I'ucle Saw, known otherwise as
the revenue cutter squadrons, plying In
arctic, tropic and temperate seas and on
the great lakes, did a lot of splendid
work la the last fiscal year. The an
Dual report of the Cnited States reve
nue cutter service. Just published, tolls
without ornauieutatiou some of the
deeds of the ablest seamen In all the
waters of America and maybe in all
the world.
A summary of the operations of the
ships of the several squadrons shows
that 32T persons were saved from
death or peril; that 204 persons In dis
tress were taken aboard the cutters
and cared for; that 31 derelicts and ob
structions to navigation were destroy
d or removed; that derelicts valued at
$18,000 were recovered and delivered
to owners.
The report says that last winter, al
though milder than the one before.
gave much work for the cutters, and
the result of their operations was the
salvaging "of $10.t526610 worth of prop
erty from the perils of the sea, and as
the total cost for the maintenance of
the service during the fiscal period was
$2,471,532.51, the year's efforts repre
sent s conservation of $4.29 for each
dollar thus invested by the govern
ment" A new use for the cutter has been
the salvaging of aerohydroplanes and
hydroplanes on sea and lake.
All the big and little adventures of
the cutters related in the newspapers
are retold In cameo-like form in mar
ginal notes of the report The cutter
"Woodbury tells paragraphlcally how
ehe saved the schooner Ravola at Lit
tle Duck island, Maine:
"Ashore on ledge; blasted rock from
under vessel and hauled off."
The work of the cutter Seminole in
assisting the steamship Berkshire near
Lookout bight North Carolina, Is thus
summarized:
"Steamship on fire. Seminole ex
tinguished same and pumped steam
ship out"
The coal barge Charmer's mishap
and what the Onondaga did for her
off Cape Henry are thus described:
"Aground. Attempted to Boat but
vessel began to break up Took off
three persons."
The Seminole found at Lookout
bight the schooner Thomas Wlnsmore
flying signals of distress. This Is the
thumbnail yarn:
"Leaking badly and about to sink.
Igasollne engine for handling pumps,
sails and anchors disabled.' Repaired
by engineer's forte of Seminole."
The above are characteristic In
stances. The commonest form Is help
ing sailing vessels off Bhotls. Other
forms were the righting of small ves
sels that had been capsized, assisting
in repairing machinery, provisioning
hungry craft, the recovery of stolen
vessels masquerading nnder new
names and altered rig, the burying of
the dead after collision, supplying dis
'abled motor vessels with gasoline, put
ting out fires in warehouses, boat
houses, lighthouses and Eskimo dwell
ings In the arctic zone.
In the extended reports of the com
manders of cutters there are some
stories worth telling again In the lan
guage of the skipiiers. Captain Gam
ble of the Miami tells how he assisted

secretary of the treasury under date
of Nov. 7 last year:

TRYING TO CURE AN
"UFSIDEDOWN" Y0U1H
Physicians Interested In Pecul
iar Case of Detroit Boy.
Detroit Mich, Physicians through
out the country are interested as to
the experiments which are to be made
to try to cure Joseph W. Darling of
this city. The boy is suffering from
an unusual malady which results In his
writing and drawing everything op
side down. Everything reverses itself
to his vision, and it Is believed that a
surgical oeratlon will be able to rem
edy the aliment
The leading physicians of the city
are taking a great interest in the boy,
and several schemes are being worked
out in the hope of bettering the boy's
sight and making bis vision in every
way normal. Dr. W. P. Melody, city
physician. Is convinced that the ail
ment comes from a lesion of the brain
as a result of an accident and the boy
is to be treated by him first to give
him an opportunity to disprove or sub
stantiate that theory.
Joseph Is a remarkably intelligent
boy.- lie Is nine years old, but his
physical development Is that of a boy
of four, as be has spent mouths at a
time In various hospitals following an
accident which affected bis sight and
ruined his health. This happened when
be was two and a half years old. lie
was lifted from the floor by his head
by s caller at bis borne and so Injured
that his neck and spine became prac
tically useless. Abscesses formed at
either side of his neck, and bis spine
finally developed a bad curvature.
The boy was treated at a local hos
pital for nearly a year following the
mishap, and. as in that time he did not
have one sound sleep because of bis
pain, the physicians were assured that
he could not live and bad him taken
to bis home to die.
It was not until Joseph was well
enough to go to school that it was
found that his sight was affected. He
was an apt pupil, but his teachers sent
word to Mrs. Webb that be Insisted
upon fooling at his work and did ev
erything upside down. Ie protested
that be was doing the best that be
could and insisted that he never bad
written or drawn anything upside
down since he had been at the school
They asked him then If he knew what
npslde down meant lie said yes and
Immediately drew a picture as it
should be. right side np.
"That" said he, "Is upside down.
and 1 never do my work that way."
Continued surveillance convinced his
teachers that the boy was suffering
with some defect of vision, and since
that time he has been examined by al
most all of the physicians' in Detroit
all of whom have been unable to say
Just what causes the ailment

of Washington Htrvot, In this town, Is
j sure that her large black cat conmilt

sons who saw the tragic end of bur pet
agreed with hor.
Tho cat ran out to tho middle of the

tne approach or an automobile. The
chauffeur saw the auluial and steer
ed iu next the curb to avoid hitting
it But the cat crawled toward tho
curb. Judging the distance so as to
get exactly Iu front of the wheels of
the auto, which ran over It
Miss Bergen said: "1 was putting
a pink ribbon on Billy's neck in honor
of bis thirteenth birthday, when he
scratched my baud, for which I gave
him a sharp blow on the side of tho
head with my open hand, lie jumped
on the tuble and sought refuge behind
a gas range In the kitchen. I felt
sorry for what I had done and tried
to coax him out, but ho paid no at
tention to me, and at the lirst oppor
tunity he run out the "kitchen door.
"I thought he would soon return,
and after bathing my wound 1 went
Into the parlor aud sat by the win

In the street. Then I saw the auto
mobile coming aud I rau to the door.
Billy's actions prove to me that he
wanted to die, for the driver of the au
tomobile did everything possible to
