SL Lbufs Philanthropist Founds a Sat tlamant at Indio, CaL, Whara Canawmptivaa May Find Relief. In what would almoat aeem Uka Death ralley, a 8L Louia philanthropist, N. O. Nelson, has founded a re- treat for persons suffering from pul- monary 11000868. Not only was the Idea of tana establishing such a camp out on the great American desert fcoldly original, but the plans also was In make the desert charity by fitting It with ranches shore alfalfa and barley and canta-joupe- s and the like could be raised, and while the patients In the camp paid a nominal dollar a week for tents. Or 3 where board was included, the g One of the Tents farm was expected to make up the Remainder of the expenses of maintaining the colony. The site of the place Is Indio, Cal., a mere hamlet, given over almost ex- clusively to railway employes and fugitives from the great white plague. On what was the bed of a primitive ocean, the sand still made up of millions of marine clam shells and other tiny spiral conches, and supporting no cacti, but qnly a low brush, the Nelson phllanthrophy purchased 114 acres of land, at an average of flOO the acre. The outdoor camp for consumption was then opened, and put in charge of a general foreman, who was to supervise the ranches for raising of the crops indicated. At first things went well, but It soon became apparent that sick men can't work well, and that It would bb exceedingly difficult to keep up the fanning. As a result that side of the venture has been dropped, and the place Is supported almost entirely by the St Louis man. At the same time it is not made absolutely free, but where persons can not pay the nom inal fl or $3 means sre found to lei them work off their board Obviously, the desert csmp does aol cure. It does, however, cause wonderful rallying Men have been brought here on stretcbera. and under influence of sleeping powders, and they have been brought to almost perfect health. The camp Itself consists of about 30 tents, set In a hollow square about a field of very long, dry grass Each of these tents rests on a wooden flooring, and facing the center, where there Is an open summer bouse, with books and magazines and a flagstaff. At one end of the plaza the adobe cottage of the superintendent Is located. Inside the area the inmates drag away time as they can, the women quilting, the men In lounging or fixing tbeir guns Now jtnd then they go hunting out in the desert for bare or quail or ducks At each tent there burns a gasoline lamp at night Inside there Is a shelf for the little cup used by the sick, a double iron bedstead, whitened over, a small Iron cot and a table resting on a rug These tables have their oilcloth covers, a lamp and books and papers. Old soap boxes beneath serve for stowing away other objects. The tents are practically all the same size, 12x14 feet To them the charity furnishes bed and bedding, chairs, stove and washing utensils. The charity Is open to anyone. The day's work at the camp Is most simPatients breakfast at 7:30 on ple mush and milk, eggs and coffee. At noon there Is soup, a little meat and potatoes, but no dessert. In the evening at five supper Is served. Sundays are the same. There are now some 25 persons at the camp. Those who do not do their own cooking or eat at the general mess tent board themselves in the hotel The Idea of the cure, however, out in the blistering desert for health is Something like 1,877 miles unique from New Orleans, Indio lies 25 feet below the sea level. Its nonhumldlty Is the wonder of the medical world. Complete saturation of the air by water is marked by 100 per cent.; absolutely vaporless air Is set at xero. Ten per cent. Is rare, even in arid Arabia. In fact, the average humidity of the north Atlantic Is 80 per cent Here in Indio, they have registered 9 per cent, the average Is 15 As a result, there is not much water for the benefit of the thirsty pulmonary tubercle, and without moisture he can not Incubate. Hence the value of the alte for the charity. K lot. performance of this sensational piece of horseflesh at Cleveland the other day when the little mare established three new world's records. The quiet little daughter of Storm-cliff- e won the pace In three straight heats, defeating Baron Grattan, Maud Keswick, Nervolo and Hazel Patch, and her time waa 2:03, 2:03 and 2:02 Her record consist of the three fastest heats ever paced and won consecutively; worlds records for pacing mares in a race and the worlds mark for the fastest third heat ever paced by any horse. All of which she did without being nrged in the least and, in fact, was being cased up at the finish, but for which Charley Dean, her trainer and driver, says he could have forced her to the 2:00 mark easily. Some time ago, early this season, when when The Broncho paced a mile at Libertyvllle, 111., In 2:051-2- , it was predicted that she would smash nearly all of the records this season and besides would pace close to 2:00. Part of this abe has already done. The writer also said that an effort would be made to match The Broncho with Dan Patch, king of pacers. This statement, although coming from Charley Dean, who- - knew what the mare could do, was scoffed at, bat now word comes from the East to the effect that the two great pacers are certain to be matched before the eeeson la ended. The Broncho also has engagements at the Wisconsin state fair at Milwaukee, but. whether or not her new owners, Messrs. El J. Roc bon A Doble, of Winnipeg, Mam, will allow her to remain in Dean's hands until then remains to be seen. Rochon declares the maze Is not for sale at any price.

It stands on tbtipot in SL Petersburg where the emperor was slain. The edifice is built ot chocolate colored brick, trimmed with white marble, and is crowned with swen towers covered with vari colored mosaics. In these mosaics are repremted scenes from the life of Christ, and there are a number of panels containing the coats of arms of the fifty Russian provinces and of the Romano! family, with effigies of the apostles and the saints. In splendor and desip this mosaic work is declared to be unsurpassed. During the last twenty fears the church has been in process of construction, and it will not be completed for twelve years more. While modern materials sre used, the architecture Is of the orthodox ecclesiastical style of the middle ages.
