An UNLrcKY BoY.-A little fellow
In Virginia by the name Of Russell,
during the past fortnight, has gone
through the whole chapter Of accidents,
several of which would have used him
up except for the fact that he Is indie
structjble. He Is the most unlucky
boy In existence. II any boy Is
run over by a team, or gets knocked
down BY a sled, or has his shins kicked
at school. that boy Is sure to be Rus
sell. A short time ago he fell OIL the
roof Of house. His next mlshap was
that Of being run over by hand-car
on the railroad track. During the late
storm he was knocked down and badly
hurt by a coasting sled moving at .
hlxh rate of speed. Last week, while
Aiding on tho ice, he fell head-fore
most, and In trying to save himself BY
putting out his hands, the fingers OF
The LETT one were doubled back almost
70 his wrist. Notwithstanding the Sc
rious nature OF his injuries, the plucky
little fellow Is going to school regu-
larry. with his hand strapped fast to a
shingle.
PATENT BODY FREEZER.-Last even
Ing We were shown a very valuable
invention for the preservation Of dead
bodies from decay. 1t Is very simple
In construction. being nothing more
nor less than a refrigerator, colfn-
shaped and having two compartments
an upper and q lower one. The
lower section il constructed entirely
Of zinc. and conforms to the shape OF
q human body. The upper compart-
ment ia a receptacle for snow or Ice.
with a drainage entirely independent
of che lower one, In which the oody Is
placed. The advantage OF this over
any other method OF freezing bodies
.o1sists In the fact that the body Is
frozen without having the clothing
sstnrated with water from the melted
ice. By this process decomposition OF
the body can be arrested for an III
definite period. The freezer was man
uts.tured in Boston, Mass.
