The Horry Herald, CONWAY, S. C. Thursday, Augu't 9 1900 "CLAIMS THE BKIDE OF HIS YOUTH AFTER FORTY YEARS SEPARATION. , A War 8tory That Heads Like it Was Taken Out of a Story Hook. A speoial from Atlanta to the Augusta Chrontcle sa>8 people at the terminal station Thursday noticed an aged man, feeble In body, gray, heult.atlnir In Btllr ariH mannnr lannn a <11 " W?'

On liquiry It was found that the aged passenger had but a few days ago oame from a livlrg death. He had just o mpletcd a term of thirty nine years' service in a northern penitentiary. He was on his way toCartersville, where he went to find the wife he 1< ft over forty years ago, to go and fight for his country; a wife *ho had taken him to be dead, and had married again and considered herself now a second widow. The aped man was Anderson Pitt man, formerly of Habersham county, this State. In 1863 then a young man, he kissed his young wife goodbye, and, joining 8, Y^al company went away to tight tb^Xattles of the South. For months regular letters reached the young woman from her fond husband. Finally, one day, they ceased to arrive The battle of CMckaooauga bad been fought a few days before, and Plttman's regiment had been one against which Soerman had thrown V* 4 u V\ vlrvn rl An TLA ? it %i V-t h a O.M>f avm _ uio uu^au^ mi <siiy uin vo puuvuciu" ers were left on the field. But that 1b history. Pittmans wife believed that he had died with others. But she waited, and grieved and longed. Her widow's weeds were doomed in sadness, and the years rolled by. The husband came not nor wrote. One day a neighbor wooed and won her. Surely Anderson wss dead, she thought, and married again. She lived happily several years and one day her new husband, a man by the name of Whltton, was killed by a man who accused him of Informing the authorities of his illicit distilling operations. But Andersen was not dead. II* was among these taken prisoner oy the northern bordeB, and was sent away to a northern hell house of confinement. One day near the time when he should have been exchanged he resented the mistreatment of a prison c ftlcer and killed him. He was taken away into olvil court and tried. Little wonder is there when the prejudices of the time are considered that be ever escaped with his life. But life confinement was his portion. To a penitentiary he was sent to serve his sentence. The right of communication with loved ones and friends was denied. Thirty-nine long years he spent be hind prison bars, knowing nothing of the mighty progress his section had made in the meantime. Ooe day, like the Feahro of the Marshelses of old, his lelease came, and he found himself out in a cold, strange world, with most of his life behind him. His thoughts turned homeward, and back to the "Hills of Habersham and to the Valleys of Hall" he came. He arrived there 8 few days ago, the modern type of Rip Van Winkle, startling all the native*, few of whom remembered htm. He found that his wife was In Cartersville, and an old friend of bis former captain assisted him in reaching that plaoe. There, it is stated, he found his wife oonnected w:th the family of General Ganger. She didn t know him, though be oalled her^oy the name of olo, but in tone softened by the enforced lisp of prison life. However. she recognized him by a wart on the forehad, and the two who had parted in the halcyon days of youth met in the autumn of old age, and will spend the remainder of their lives as God first intended they should, man and wife. And here let us draw the curtain. (Shot to Death, At Sbeeveport, La., a man was killed by his divorced wife who in an insane condition went to his house and demamded her children.

The Introduction of h&rveytzed armor Into vault construction may fairly be described as the most Important single step ever taken In the development of burglar proof vaults. A vault built of armor plute, with Its Joints dovetailed together and keyed from the luslde of the vault and provided with a circular door ground Into the armor plate front, Is proof against any known method of burglar attack. After the harveylzed plate has boon cast and forged to the necessary thickness It Is covered with a coat of carbonaceous material and heated for several weeks In a furnace until the carbon, which Is the hardening element In steel, has eaten down fcveral inches Into the body of the plate. The plate Is then reduced to size, and the edges where they lock Into each other JOfNflFit VlIN I CAN metitod op jorrrrca ahmor plate VAULTS AT Til 16 COItNKKS. are machined and ground down to the dovetail shapes shown In the engraving representing tlie system of joining at the corners of angles. After these points have been machined and ground to an exa?t lit the plates are heated and then hardened. The vaults are built with the hardened surface on the outside. The dovetails are formed with ono face square and the opposite face cut at the desired angle. The clearances aro so arranged that the dovetails slide snugly Into place rs the plates are drawn together, and after they have been brought home long, wedging stripe and key pieces are driven Into place from Inside the vault, locking the plates securely In position. The joint as thus formed Is so close ami massive that It Is proof against any attack by lloatlng nitroglycerin In from the outside, and wedges will make absolutely no Impression upon It, the hard face splintering the wedges Just as It does tjie hard point of a projectile. For the same reason the drill Is useless, and, as for the method of attack by using the arc light and taking the temper out of the steel, It Is sulllcicnt to say that the conditions necessary for tho use of the arc are so <1 t nMnl.. ..1.1 WilllVlill IU UlMillll UIIIL 111/ IMll^HIl UUUIU liope to use It without detection.

Professor Adolphe Tame, the director f the electrical company La Gada at Oneglla, in Llgurla, Italy, claims to have discovered after seven years of patient study a method of electrifying water or some similar fluid so that It can bo used to drive any vehicle and to convey light or heat without any difficulty, the reservoir of liquid being Itself the accumulator, and the force Is conveyed by wires. The receptacle in which the fluid is held Is the special invention of M. Tame, and his experiments prove that an automobile of twenty horsepower carrying twenty quarts of the magical water can make a run of ten hours at a cost of 2 cents per kilowatt hour; moreover, that electricity only loses 1.75 per cent of Its power in passing Into the liquid. It Is prophesied by those wlw> have witnessed M. Tame's experiments that vessels will henceforth be driven by electrified water Instead of steam and Indeed that such as need a little extra energy will be able to take It In any form of liquid nourishment they most affect. There seems indeed no limit to the advantages of the new dls covery, ana itniy is to Do congratulated on having followed up her great electrical sons, Volta and Marconi, by yet another, who has wrested some of the further secrets of her power from the magician Electra. Tryln? to Abolish FIIm. A prixe of ?(>00 has been awarded by the Paris Matin to the Inventor of a new method of getting rid of house (lies. The method Is strictly scientific and. It Is claimed, will completely destroy the eggs, which are usually deposited In drainpipes. Crude petrol mixed with water Is used for household disinfecting purposes. The drainpipe* become lined with the II, which both kills the eggs already there and precludes the deposit of others. When desired the petrol can he poured on fine soli and the latter sprinkled In corners. This, It Is said. Is thoroughly efficacious In destroying the eggs. The operations should be carried out in the spring to obtain the best results. Dn*t on a Pin Point* A very simple experiment made by an eminent bacteriologist determines In a startling manner the potential dangers associated with accumulations of dust In living rooms. A pin point was used to convey as much dust as so small a vehicle will carry. This yielded no loss than 8,000 colonies of living germs when cultivated on gelatin, and although fortunately every species was not representative of disease yet the majority were potent sources of decomposition and danger to healthsLondon Telegraph. ELECTRIC SAFETY LAMP. to Prevent Fire In Mlnea and l'owder >1 ttKitmlnen. A typo of Incandescent laiup designed to give ns nearly absolute security against tiros or explosions us jsjaslble has boon devised by Dr. D. Tomassl of Paris, and Is described by the Electrical Review. The Idea Is to extinguish the lamp automatically should the protecting globe Ik? broken and to prevent the flying of Incandescent particles If the lamp globe Itself should be shattered. The method of doing tills consists In surrounding the globe of tho lamp Itself by a second glass covering llttcd so as to be air tight Within this second globo Is a switch which normally stands o[K?n, but which, when subjected to air pressure, closes the circuit and allows the lamp to light. The lamp Is lighted by forcing air Into the outer globe, In this way closing uiu bwivvui u, uk'ii, u?e outer giooe bo shattered, tho reduction In air pressure which takes place Immediately will extinguish the lamp before the Inner globe Is broken. If. on the other hand, the Inner globe breaks, the reduction In pressure of the air In the outer globe, due to the collapso of the Inner globe, will open the switch and put the lamp out. In case of an accident of this kind the outer globe will, of course, stop all tlytng twirtlelos and prevent any tire. It Is thought that the lamp will have value In mines exposed to explosive gases, In powder magazines an 1 in other places where thero Is danger of uij explosion. ECONOMIC NUTRITION. Knt What the Appollto Prnww find Chow Food TliortMiKlily. Tho entire principle of economic nutrition Is simpje and practical. It simply requires you to throw present habits and conventions to the winds and for a little time try the experiment of giving the matter of your everyday living honest. Intelligent thought, says Physical Culture. Eat all you crave, but do not eat more than this simply because you have been In tho liablt of doing so. See to It that each morsel put Into your month Is thoroughly masticated and mixed with the saliva before going down Into the stomach, which Is not equipped to perform tho work which the teeth and salivary glands were giv en you for. Tlio stomach xvill struggle bravely to overcome the abuse which you heap upon It* but In spite of all It can do to manage hastl'y chewed food, undigested portions remain which Interfere with the healthy conditions which nature Intended. The normal appetite Is given you as an Indicator of what the bodj' requires. If you crave potato, the system needs starch, which the saliva makes digestible, but which the acids of the stomach cannot dissolve. Other needs of the system are similarly Indicated.

The Improvement In the physical condition of steam railroads during 1905 has been very marked. The reduction of grades and curves on tho chief lines has been prosecuted with vigor. Per mnnent steel bridges on substantial masonry have replaced many of the old wooden structures. Tho use of concrete masonry Is now almost universal, and the results aro of the most satisfactory kind, nonvlor rails are also taking the place of tho older and lighter rails. Probably the most Important Improvement has been In the rapid adoption of the system of block signaling, which was greatly extended during the year. The duplicate order system of train dispatching bus also been widely adopted and has resulted in rendering the possibilities of accident much less than under the single order system.?Railway and Locomotive Engineering. Lnnol, n Nevr Light Qlrer. After electric lights, lusol. The Paris municipal authorities are extending their street lighting trials with lusbl, which is a hydrocarbon recovered as a byproduct in making blast furnace coke. The light Is said to be even softer than that of alcohol, and a 100 candle lamp of the type hitherto employed costs only a cent per hour, while the domestic lusol lamp gives double the light at half the cost of a good kerosene lamp. One use of the new lllumlnant will be to form a reserve In case of unforeseen gas or electric light extinction. I CONSUMPTION CURES. Italian Ph ynlclnttN Kip^rlnifntloi WKIi Vnrlou* Mrtliotl*. Consul Dunning of Milan gives an interesting account of some experiments in the use of the Retiring system of vaccination us a cure for consumption which have been carried on by a group of Italian experts: "Several oxen which had been vaccinated with the Behrlug treatment were slaughtered with other oxen which had been under Inspection for tome months, while others wore allowed to continue In life in order to further develop the effects of the treatment. These animals were slaughtered In Milan some time later under the direction of the physicians Interested in the earlier experiments. Of four oxen killed, three had been vaccinated with the ltehriug treatment and afterward hud the tul>erculosls virus injected into their veins. The autopsy, whllo It did not show definite results, gave encouragement to the investigators. The ox which had not been vaccinated showed tuberculous conditions In a marked degree, while the three which had been subjected to the treatment had remained immune and had resisted successfully, unless unknown conditions affected the result, the several injections of virus intended to test the potency of the vaccination. "The experts engaged on the tost announce that at least two of the three oxen showed results which seem to indicate that this method for treating tuberculosis Is at any rate well founded, though they expressly add that very much remains to be done. Other cattle will soon be killed for further experiments when the treatment they are undergoing lias progressed to a more useful stage.

Gluseppo Carcnno, one ol' the most active of the younger practitioners of northern Italy. Using a serum which has already had a good trial In Belgium and France, Dr. Carcnno made a special study of tlio subject In several countries of Furopo and became so encouraged Unit he decided to take up experiments with human beings on his own account, "The Carcnno tests have apparently carried the matter farther than any similar effort has been able to go. Dr. Carcano stated to the consul ho felt reasonably sure that In many cases ho could absolutely cure consumption, lx?cause cures had already resulted from the use of the serum which ho has adopted. While not making too sweeping a claim, he is an..Ions to have the treatment tested In as many countries and by as many iiersons as possible. "The serum Is about to be placed at the disposal of physicians and others In n form convenient for use during a period long enough to tost Its value. It Is Injected Into the veins of the patient In the ordinary way by means of the hypodermic syringe. Meantime the hospital tests are continuing under the patronage of the foremost of the Milanese physicians." Moilrrii T?i ii noil n ? Slilelil.
