Hill, the Chicago dealer this millionaire, who has never figured in large art and book- sales before gave the second highest price of the sale thus 421,000 for the only copy in existence of the "Swan Book" "Helyas Knight of the Swanne." Before he got it he had to pass through the high range of bids offer ed by George D. Smith. For this same client who had given him un limited authority to pay as much as was necessary, Mr. Hill also brought two other rarities for $3,800 and respectively. The names of the newcomer in folio and quarto c.i cles wasn't disclosed.

Seekers after the element of stress and storm apparent in any big sale had their fill when the vellum Helyas printed in London in 1512 by Wynkyn Worde, who succeeded to the Caxton Press and took it to London was placed upo nthe stand.

An Old Cypress. a A cypress tree at Chapultepec, Mex, has a trunk feet round, and from the rings around It its age la tio years. 0 23UpStiiri, West Broadway a UAH IH IP con A geologist of Leland Stanford University was studying the peculiar formation of the hyac'nth mine. Two -n wr working in the open trench ft'iat was the min.e the professor gathering specimens out of the workings.

The temporary camp was but a hundred yards away, and all three had trudged back and forth a doen times that morning. Having filled his pockets, the geologists announced that he was going to take the specimens to the tent, whereupon the miners added ten ten pounds of dynamite and some steel to this load. He departed, and the desert smiled grimly as it threw a gust of alkal dust into his face. Rubbing his blinded eyes he stumbled on, passed the tent by twentv yards and vanished into the labyrinth of rocky slopes and glaring can yons beyond. It was a hundred and thirty in the shade that day a not unusual temperature, and shade was scarce.

Scarcely a breath of air was stirring. The rocks and the sand so hot that thev blistered the unprotected skin, seemed ti ozzing heat. An hour after the professor's the miners became suspi- ous, says Mr. Walter V. Woehike, writing in The World Today.

They hurried to the tent nd found tUemp ty with no trace of their guest any where. Familiar with the tracks of the desert, the men at once divined what had happened. They also knew the horrors lurking 'n the maze of superheated rocks, knew that the desert like the cat tired of playing with the mouse, of ens kills Its vie tim In a sudden fit of rage So they hurriedly replenished the'r canteens and set out in pursuit de scribing ever widening cire'es about the camp until they picked up the geologist's trail. Four miles from the tent' they found the discarded dynamite. Thence the trail doubled back passed half a mile beyond the camp and began to describe a half circle about It.

They picked up specimens, personal belongings, the professor's coat. Twelve miles they made. At the end of the fourth hour they found the wanderer, less than a mile from camp, era wing desperately down the bottom of a back ravine on bleeding, torn hands and knees, unable to escape from the pursuing sun. His tongue was swollen so that he could not talk, only groan. The bloodshot eyes were sunk deep into the head, h's yellow cheeksk were wrinkled like the skin of a wilted apple.

Froth covered his mouth and greenish circles ran about his cracked and swollen lips. Two hours more without water and the desert would have forced the lost man into the horrible yawning grave from the brink of which he was frant'oally crawling. After doctoring all summer of 1907 por piles, kidneys, stomach and womb trouble and undergoing an opeaition besides I was in a miserable condition almost past gone and and suf fering so much I cannot tell it. In November, 1907, I consulted Dr. R.

B. Miller Chicago specialist, who told me he could cure me. I began to mend after the first month he ed me. In six months I began to feel like a new person and am still so well that I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me. Go have a talk with him if you have trouble your physicians have not cured and you will be glad of it.
