So day after day. and night after
night, on the little Isle of St. Helena,
did Napoleon mourn for tho armies
and triumphs Hint ho would novor
see again and so ho died.
In IS 10, l!i years after his death,
tho body of Napoleon wns brought
back to Paris and plnced beneath
tho splendid domo of the Church
of tho Invnlldes. Tho church Is
a square" pile of 19S foot, and over
its center rises the glided dome
to n height of nrio foot. Directly
beneath is an open clrctilnr crypt,
which is 20 feet deep below the
floor of tho church, nnd lit! feet In

open well rises tho tomb of the
emperor, who was born In AJncclo.

The National Education Association
AVIlt Answer All guestloiis.
Tho fond pnront no longer need
becotno unduly exasperated when his
threo year old hopeful bombards him
with a series of questions that might
inn leu nn encyclopedia compiler pause.
Make u note of them. The general
science committee of the National
Education Association will do tho
rest.
Such questions ns "Why Is n whllo
hope?" nnd "How long is n vice
probo?" need not bo sent In. How
over, you may nsk why tliu clouds put
on their gaudiest tints In the even
ing, mid why tho rainbow Isn't
strnlght. You may oven nsk why u
bnsoball pitcher has "orr days," and
where tho water comes from thnt
runs down the outside of a cold water
pipe.
Just who Is going to unswer the
questions is not yet known, but thoy
should he sent to Or. John F. Wood
hull, Teachers' College, Columbia
University. Dr. Wooilhull Is chair
man of tho recently appointed coin
mlttcn on general science of the Na
tional Education Association. A cir
cular has been sent out by tho com
mittee requesting ndvlco from and
tho cooperation of tho general public,
If you wunt to know if u fish over

loss of appetite, while another person
may slip on a wet sldownlk nnd break
his neck; why u Jackrabblt can sou
behind him without turning his head;
why a lobster turns red when ho Is
broiled; why tho Now York American
League team seems to bo frozen when
tho temperature Is up around tho

manifests u distinct partiality for
certan persons, particularly visitors,
nnd ignores others; why It Is that In
springtime one young man's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of lovo
whllo another's will turn to thoughts
of bock beer; If you want to have any
of these questions nnswored, Just
send them along to the general
science committee.
In tho circular It wns set forth that
the committee Is seeking lists of ques
tions which young persons In search
of Information In the field of science
ask of parents and touchers.
Hero are some of tho questions
which nro given as examples: Whut
Is tho sun? How does It keep hot?
Why does It sometimes turn red?
What gives to tho clouds so many
different colors? Aro wo llnblo to bo
killed by meteors?
"Suggestions for organizing com

Luther King of Florence Final
ly Succumbs After Years of
Suffering From Bite.
EUGENE. Ore., June IS. Luthor
King. "Rnttlcsnnko King," .died
Wednesday at the Olouiuln hospital.
King said a mouth ago ho did not be
lieve he would llvo until August, and
that at last there will he an end of his
nffllctlon, which ho blmsolf torined
"tho serpent's brand that tho Blblo
speaks about." nnd which has per
haps no parallel.
Recently tliu Evnngolicnl church of
Florence prayed In a body for this
old man, upon whom for IS years tho
Lord has visited a serpent curse so
grent that he must have hailed death
as a relief.
In tho enrly part of August, 1875,
8.1 years ago, Luther King was pick
ing blackberries In the mountains of
Idaho, when a rattlesnake, disturbed
In Its sleep, struck quickly and with
out warning, nnd closed Its tectli so
firmly upon his leg, n little below tliu
knee, that ho dragged It as ho ran,
whipping nnd Jerking, for 200 yards
or more.
Ho renched camp nil right, tho
poison wns extracted from the bite,
the wound healed In a few weeks,
and probably, as ho believed, all tlio
subsequent history of tho bite, tho
suffering It caused and Its strango,
almost Incredible, inanlfestntloiiH
would not have occurred had It not
been for one circumstance tlio tlmo
of tho year. August Is the period of
dog days and during this mouth
snnkes shed, nro blind and strlko nt
everything they hear. It was a blind
and shedding snake that bit Luther
King.
For 20 years ho went about sound
and well, tho snako blto practically
forgotten. Then on tlio last day of
July, 1SSI5, he felt a peculiar Irrita
tion on tliu bitten leg, but upon tho
Instep nud not Just below the knee,
where appeared tho faint senr of tho
bite. The next, morning, August 1, ho
woke up feeling dizzy nud to find that
the Irritating spot on his Instep wns a
running sore. All that month ho
slept from t to 20 hours a day, drank
llttlo nud uto scarcely anything, while
the functions of tho body stopp'ed.
On tho first of September ho got out
of bed and culled for something to
eat. By the 1th of September tho
soro was completely healed.
.Y( .Inly l( Came Again.
On tlio Inst day of July tho next
year, ho felt again nn Itching mi ills
Instep, two Itchlugs, nnd nt the samo
time ho felt dUzy ns with malaria.
Tho next morning tho yenr-old scar
upon his luslep had revived Into n
soro nnd not two Indies nwny was
another soro, both running. Again
ho slept tho whole mouth through,
with llttlo drink or food, nud Imag
ining In his delirium thnt a rattle
snako wns colled up on his log, uiidor
tlio skin. On the 1st day of Septem
ber lio got up hungry. By tho fourth
of September tho sores worn well.
Relillleii, It Ki is, 171 Times.
And bo ench year for 18 years,
with Inexpllclblo regularity, on tho
1st of August, his state of enforced
coma nnd fasting has begun, nil tho
scars of the preceding year havo re
vived, accompanied unfailingly by a
now soro, mid with equally strange
regularity tho wires hnvo never failed
to ho entirely healed by the -t t li of
September. Ho now has 18 scars up
on his leg. Thnt first soro upon Ids
Instep, like a periodic volcano, has
revived 18 times, tho second 17 times
ami thus it becomes a slmplo problem
In progressions ( find t lint Luthor
King, bitten onco by n llvo rattle
snake, havo been robllton 171 times
by an Invisible ghostly snako that all
through ench August lies colled there,
a dread nud unjust Nemesis, upon his
leg.
SWAT THE FLY.
A bulletin from the offlco of tho
Oregon Dairy and Food Commission
er says:
"Tlmo was when wo trented tlio
fly ns an evil that must ho endur
ed but later Investigations into his
habits, etc., havo proven him too
dangerous a pest to tolerate. Along
with the study of his operations as
a dlsenso breeder nud germ conveyor
we hnvo also been enabled to look
Into tho homes of his younger days,
tho favorite of which wo find to
bo tlio manure pile. Although born
ntnldbt such lowly surrounding :io
soon seeks hotter quarters and Is
nq respector of plnces or persons.
We may find him feeding in nil
kinds of filth, or perhaps upon tho
daintiest morsels upon tho table.
After having partaken of his meai
ho delights to find an open vessel
containing milk nnd theio perform
tho operation of washing Ills fcc
nnd faco. His over venturesome na
ture sometimes lends him one step
too far nnd tlio Intended wash be
comes n bath, disease genus con
tained In particles of filth adlior
luif to his foot aro transmitted to
tno milk and then taken Into tho
human svstoni and wo wonder why
children become sick In warm weatli
or. In this caso an ounce of pre
vention Is worth more than a pound
of euro.
"Swat tho fly by doing away with
plnces wliero tlioy breed, and when
ever possible do away with places
wliere they feed. Screen all places
wnero food Is kopt or prepared;
screen tlio privy; allow no decom
posed animal or vcgoinmo manor
to lay around.
Two files less In May means thou
