Last night, the trio, all of whom had been deaf since birth, went to the tent at Scranton where the Bosworth brothers are conducting a revival and presented cards, telling of their wishes. Rev: B. B. Bosworth, the choirleader, and his wife, anointed the eldest of the three and prayed for him that he might nave his hearing and speech restored.

As the prayer drew to a close a smile spread over the youth's face. In a low whisper the evangelist said "One-two-three" and the young man in an almost babylike lisp repeated "one-twothree." Someone played a hymn on the piano and the smile widened. He could both hear and speak. The other two brothers followed, and, instantly each reported that he could hear. They walked off the platform a The audience, farespite the fact that it was a religious ceremony, burst into loud cheers for the first time since these meetings have commenced.

and? children hundred crowded other the men, platform women to be healed of their diseases, and to recount the results would be to peat the story of the three brothers.

The tent was packed to the doors, hundreds standing in the aisle and crowding outside the main entrance. About one hundred and fifty walked up the "aisle, of faith" after the meeting, the largest number since the meetings commenced.

DENIZENS OF SKY ATTACK PLANE PILOTS Aviators, Studying Eagles, Given Big Surprise In Air THEY ATTACK PLANES By HARRY HARPER, Technical Secretary of the British Civil Aerial Transport Committee. London, July thrilling, in their sheer strangeness, than any air tales ever told before! Such are the reports now being compiled in a widespread plan whereby, while they are high aloft, aeroplane pilots make systematic studies lordly eagles and other denizens of the sky. Under the scheme, developed internationally by bird societies and aeronautical associations, airmen prepare records of their adventures with feathered folk- more especially when flying high over mountains in the form of detailed reports containing the special information which ornithologists require. Terrifying, indeed, have been some of these encounters in the sky, While flying high in misty weather, above a chain of hills, a British airman relates that he suddenly saw A great winged shape loom up in front of him, darting straight at his machine.

With a shattering crash, it came into collision with his propeller, breaking it into fragments, and forcing the pilot to make an immediate and dangerous descent in a precipitous country, One extraordinary report has been furnished by an airman upon descending from a flight over a mountain range during a long trans-Eurojourney. He thinks it was the single- wing shape of the monoplane has was flying, making high in the sky. The great bird, which infuriated the lonely eagle high in the sky. The great bird, at any rate, came swooping down and flew round and round the plane in narrowing circles, trying, apparently, to make up its mind which was the most vulnerable part of this noisy rival, Then, an instant later, its keen eye detecting some movement of the pilot's head, the resentful bird made ready to give battle in the air. It seemed, in fact, as though going to be some tragic happening thousands of feet aloft.

fired his revolver at the eagle. He did not succeed big bird was obviously nonplussed and swerved sullenly away. An astonishing experience was that of an airman who, seeing a flock of birds at an unusual height, steered his machine in their direction. This action seemed to be resented very much by an eagle which was hovering above. Wheeling round, the bird flew toward the plane and, undeterred by its size and noise, attacked it at top speed, striking the machine such force that one of the bracing wires of the wings was broken, compelling the pilot to alight.

The force of the impact was so great, indeed, that it proved fatal to the caslo, the bird's neck was broken. 116 ABSENT WHEN 109TH GOES AWAY Missing Members Of The Regiment Will Be Arrested TWO WEEKS AT CAMP Although the detachments of the 109th Field Artillery left at 9 o'clock this morning from the Kingston staof the L. and W.
