JUMPED OUT or TINE WINDOW


The Undignified Manner In Which n
Member of the French Chamber of
Deputies Was Compelled to Retreat.
PARIS, April 23-Camille Dreyfuss, a
member Of the chamber of deputies, a
well.known journalist and a duelist, was
charged in a pamphlet issued by NJ. Blanc,
proprietor of the Casino ut Monaco, with
proposing scheme by which blackmail
could be levied on the Casino NJ Blanc
claimed to have in his possession docu-
ments signed by Dreyfuss in which he
specifies how the proceeds of the scheme
could be shared. Dreyfuss refused to fight
duel with Blanc and to-day called a
meeting Of his constituents from depart
ment which he represents in the chamber
OF deputies to refute charges against him.
The meeting was very disorderly and
Dreyfuss was continually interrupted,
Finally he lost his temper and attacked
one Of his interrupters and began to pum-
mel him. A free fight followed and ORGY
fuss, to save himself, was compelled to
jump from the second story window.
After Dreyfnss' undignited exit, the meet
ing was continued and resolutions were
passed calling upon him to resign his seat
i'll the chamber.

But Five Times In the History of Our

HdrperS Weekly says In the history
Of our country we have only five in

BY curious coincidence, in each of
these cases one or both of them were
graduates from Princeton University.
The families who have thus held the
honor for more than one generation are
the Stucktons, Bayards, Frelinghuysens,
Colquitts and Camerons. The most
prominent instance il that of the Stock
ton family, who have held the honor for
four generations in direct descent from
father to son. Richard Stockton prince

The Leakage From the Trolley System
Properly Utilized.
Boston Dispatch to the Providence Telegram.
A new and very serious danger to life
and property from the trolley system
has been discovered to exist in the big
and unavoidable leakage of the current.
AS the insulation of the overhead wires
becomes impaired by atmospheric
changes, this leakage of the current will
be more general and gas and water pipes
are liable to be charged with dangerous
current. 1t is estimated that over one
half of the electricity generated at the
different power stations escapes to the
ground, and this current, the loss Of
which cannot be checked, is liable to
create very serious mischief.
There is at least one man in Boston
who considers the overhead trolley sys-
TEN of electric street railways a grand,
good thing This man resides on the
route of the West End road, and one
day recently, while examining his water
pipe, received smart shock of cleo
tricity This led him to investigate, and
lie discovered that the water pipe entered
his house near one of the iron posts that
support the guy wire, and that the cur
rent which leaked from the trolley went
through the post to the ground and was
communicated to the water pipe.
Having some knowledge Of electrical
| matters, he procured storage battery
and charged it from The electrified water
| pipe He is thus enabled to illuminate
| his house from top to bottom without
expense, all the attention required being
/ Ia turn pn thp current frDm the Nc,tni
pipe IN the morning and at night the
battery is really for service. He alsC
operates, from the same source, an cleo
trio fan. system Of call bells and 1
/ burglar alarm. The West End roa(
people are aware Of what is going on
but ave powerless to prevent the leak.

Amusing Description of How the Puritan
Fathers First Became Acquainted With
Indian Corn.
Garden and Forest makes the follow
ing interesting extracts from an ancient
document: In his famous History of
Plymouth Plantation" Governor Brad
ford tells how the Pilgrims first made
acquaintance with Indian corn, and
with the beans still so generally asso-
ciated with it in New England kitchens.
The discovery was made while they
were searching for "a place of habita-
ton" on Cape Cod, before the final set
Element at Plymouth. On the 10Th of
November, 1920, an exploring party
landed at spot supposed to have been
within furlong of the end of Long
Point. and the following day, after try
ing experience amid "schuch thickets
as were ready to tear their cloaths Gar
more in peeces y atlength they
found water & refreshed themselves,
being We first New England water they
drunSe of, and was now, in their
great thirste, AS pleasante unto them
as wine or bear had been in for
times" Soon after they came upon
place where the Indians had for
morly planted corn, and upon some
of their graves. And proceeding fur
der they saw new stuble wher corne had
been set We same year, and in deserted
huts, among other things, found fare
Indean baskets filled with corne, and
some in cares, faire and good, of divorce
colours, which seemed TO them very
goodly sight, (haveing never seen any
schueh before.'O Returning to the ship,
they "tooke with them parte Of ye corne,
and buried up we rest, and so, like ye
men from Escholl, carried with them of
We fruits Of We land & showed their
brethren; of which e. their returne,
they were maryelusly glad, and their
harts Encouraged Going once more to
the same spot they found two deserted
Indian houses, and "also ther was found
more Of their corne, & Of their beans
Of various COLOURS. The corne g.
beans they brought away" in
tending to pay the Indians for
them when "they should meete with
any of them" as happened about six
months later sto their good contente.
/ And here is to be noted spe,iall provi-
dence of God, & a great mercie to this

none, nor any liklyhood to get any till
We season had beene past las We sequel

1921, friendly Indian, named Squanto
helped them to plant their corn, SHOW
ing them both We manner how to set 1t,
and after how to dress and tend it. Also
hetould them excepte they gott fish and
set with it lin these old grounds it
would come to nothing, and he showed
them Vt in ye middle Of April they
