A Man on Wheels.

Many q young man who frequent

ers, flannel shirts and caps and
trundles over the city streets and
rides u bicycle will be surprised to
learn that there is a man in this
town whose claims to being a wheel
man throws his into the shade. This
person in question has the unique
distinction of living on wheels. In
fact, wheels take the place OF legs SO
far as he is concerned, for his lower
limbs are missing. A legless man
getting about town by swinging
himself along on his hands may be
seen every now and then; but in the
case of this particular citizen sort
of framework has been fitted to his
body.
1t is equipped with four small
wheels, and its owner propels him
self along by means OF his hands, in
each of which lie carries a sort of
handle adapted to getting a firm
hold on the pavement. He came
down Broadway day or two ago,
and received IL great deal of atten-
ton from the gamins who frequent
City Hall Park. But his misfortune
evidently had not soured his tenn
per, for he joked with the youngsters
and seemed to he in the best of
humor as he slowly rolled himself
along. lIe had n stock Of lend PEN

to be as well able to care for himself

After Forty-seven Years.

One morning on the arrival OF the
9:55 train at the Baltimore and Poto-
mac depot there was an effecting scene
the meeting oftwo brothers for tho
first time in torty-seven years. A
short time prior to the arrival of the
train an elderly gentleman named
Nelson, accompanied by n grown
son, informed James d. Cathell, the
ticket examiner, tho object of his
presence there, expressing doubt
whether he would know his brother,
from whom lie parted when u boy.
Mr.. Cathell volunteered to assist
him, and left him outside the gate
while lie met the train and scanned
the passengers as they lisemburked.
Among the last to leave the train
was man who bore striking re-
semblance to the inquiring brother,
and he, too, had IL son with him.
Mr.. Cathell addressed him and
learned that he was the looked-for
brother, and walking up to the other
formally introduced them. There
was for n moment an intense look ut
each other, then their arms were open
ed and they kissed and embraced
each other, while tears filled their
eyes. They then exchanged recollec-
tions of their boyhood, while their
sons first cousins) were nor long in
getting acquainted with each other.
/ The two brothers had been living
within forty miles of each other for
some time, one at Baltimore and the
other here, and it was but recently
that they discovered the fact

A Disease Imported from In
dia.

The Brooklyn health department
has found a case of n disease said to
he rare in this country. Its name is
beriberi and its home is India. One
of the characteristics of the disease is
1rowsiness, and on the African coast
it is known as "the sleeping sick
ness" In fatal cases death general
~ results from exhaustion or syn
cope. 1t is not contagious in this
climate, and no danger is to be fear
ed from its appearance. The vehicle
of it's westward Journey was the ship
j. c. Warus. from Macassar, in the
Dutch East Indies. which arrived mt
brooklyn recently. \ sick man OH
board was taken to the Long Island
College hospital, and DR.. Henry
BulIwinkle learned that ON May 20
the captain, II. Warus. died at sea,
and that on June 10 H. Haltman,
the first mate, died. The man Mt the
hospital proves to have beriberi. and
DIR. BulIwinkle believes the other two
died from it.-Exchange.

A Big Rabbit Trap,

Illinois proudly comes to the front
for a high place in the world of in-
vention. It's inventor is Mr.. Funk,
q farmer Mt Heyworth. This inven-
ton is n rabbit trap. Mr.. Funk is a
competitor for the prize of 1926, 900
offered by the Australian govern
ment for device that will rid
Australia of the terrible rabbit pest
which threatens to destroy it's agri-
culture. Various things have been
tried without success. The NJ.
Pasteur plan of inoculating the rab-
bits with deadly disease was the
most promising of these, but this
was also n failure. Funk's trap
dumps the rabbits into IL pit by
means Of a platform swung on pivots
below a bait suspended above it.
He has just been informed that the
parliamentary committee on rab-
bits regards it with favor, and has
been asked to come to Australia to
look after it.-Excliange.

The earliest reference to the pyg
mics occurs on the narrative of An
drew Battell, who spent three years
in the Kingdom of Loango during
the first decade of the seventeenth
century. He says:
ITO the northeast of Mani Kesock
are u kind of little people called Mat
imbas, which are no bigger than
boys of twelve years old, but ver
thicke, and live only upon feshe
which they kill in the woods with
their bowes and darts. They pay
tribute to Mani kesock, and bring
ell their elephants teeth and tayles
to him. They will not enter into any
OF the Marombos' houses, nor will
suffer any to come where they dwell.
Ano if by chance any Morambo or
people of Loango passe where they
dwell, they will forsake the pl,lce and
go to another. The women carry
bow and arrows as well as the men.
And one of these will walk into the
woods alone and kill the pongo with
their poisoned arrowes."
The Flemish geographer Dapper,
writing in the seventeenth century,
refers to the pygmies in the following
language:
before the kings cloth sit some
dwarfs, with their backs towards
him; pygmies indeed in stat
ure, but with head of prodidgious
highness, for the more exact deform-
ing whereof they wear the skin of
some beast tied round about them.
