Islands of the Sea.

Some mathematician of leisure has
been estimating the number Of islands
in the world, and has succeeded in count
ing some hundreds of thousands. He
says there are over 1000 island under
the flag of Japan. Strangely enough, he
makes no reference to the Thousand
islands Of the st. Lawrence or to the
thousands in our own Georgian bay,
some of which are of considerable size.
It was among these beautiful wooded
little islands that the Huron Indians
took refuge when they were assailed in
1919 by their implacable foes, the Lo-
quois. Among the labyrinthian chan.
nels the Iroquois could not successfully
pursue them, and those who escaped to
the islands saved themselves from the
determination which befell their friends.

AN ODD NUMBER AND AN ODD CASE.

And the Question Is, Had Thirteen Any
thing to Do with the Case?
There was a commotion in the hotel
when the Denver stage came in, and the
men who were playing poker in the bar
room, and the loafers who were waiting
for somebody to treat hurried to see what
was up.
"Theres a sick travelling man. He's
awful bad and can't go any further. Fix
him up bed and send for doctor,
some one in authority was saying.
There were plenty of volunteers to help
carry the sick man to room, and soon
a temporary nurse was installed and a
doctor in charge of the case.
There was nothing unusual about It.
He wasn't the first sick man that had
stranded there, and would not be the
last. The only curious thing about him
was this: He heard the landlord say:
''Take him into thirteen"
"No, no." he said feebly, "that is an
unlucky number to NEEDN'T put me
there"
Gail right" said the landlord, "give
him eighteen, that's empty" And the
men bore him carefully upstairs.
But the landlord had winked to those
who had him in charge, and they had
responded by an answering wink, which
said in dumb show, "All right, we un-
derstand."
So they carried him into the room with
the unlucky number, and he, having
faith in the man he had appealed to,
asked no questions Indeed he could
not, for as they carried. him into the
room he swooned, and they had enough
to do, with the doctors help, to revive
him.
Then he dozed. and started up in fe-
verish delirium, and called for people
who were far away, and raved and NUT
tered, and the landlord was laughing
down at the bar, telling of his good joke
in deceiving the sick man.
''Hen never know the difference" he
said. "f amt no patience with such
superstitions, and what the eye don't
see the heart don't feel. Here's health
and long life to the stranger in No. ID. !"
They clinked glasses and drank.
The noise of their carousal penetrated
bu0 dDONOJ HASLO 0CdCA WACotAON
with life in an unequal encounter.
"What time is it?'
The sick man had Weakened suddenly,
and as he asked the question the clock
on the mantel began to strike the hour.
"One-two-three-fo he counted
the strokes aloud.
The nurse tried to dissuade him from
speaking by shaking her head in disap-
proval and laying a finger on her lips
but he persisted and had his way.
-seven-eight"
The doctor held his finger on the sick
mans pulse and felt an accelerated
thrill in its irregular beat. The sick
mans voice continued:
-eleven-twelve"-
midnight" said the doctor, giving
the nurse warning look.
"Thirteen!"
F"The clock struck one too many; it ii
out of ORDER" grumbled the nurse.

ing his finger from the pulse, to which
he referred. "Strange! did not think
the end was so near"
Neither did the landlord, who had JUS

MEETING OF THE FIRE BOARD.
The Trouble Between the Municipal and
Gamewen Companies.

The Trouble Between the Municipal and
Gamewen Companies.
The board of fire commissioners held
their regular monthly meeting last
evening. Mayor Webster presided and
Commissioners Hart, McAuliffe and
Hynes were present. The regular bills
were ordered paid. Two communica-
tions relating to the suits between the
Gamewell and Municipal fire alarm tele-
graph systems referred to the board by
the council, were read. They were re-
ferred to the city attorney with in
structions to take such steps as he
deemed necessary to protect the in
terests of the city. A letter written to
Chief Snagg by the Gamewell company
was ordered placed on file. II. J. VOL
colt and others petitioned the board to
have a fire hydrant placed on West
Main street near the horse car stables.
The recommendation was referred to
the council. Henry Hertman was ap-
pointed permanently to a position in the
Scovill street engine house. About a
year and half ago the council pur-
chased lot on Burton street for the
purpose of building fire engine house
in that part of the city and nothing had
been done since. Commissioner Hart
moved that the board ask an additional
appropriation of $4,000 to build and
equip house. The motion was passed,
after which the board adjourned.

SUFFERING FROM HYDRoPHOBIAe

Waterbury Doctors Called to Attend
Martin Norton of Tolles' Station.
Doctors Axtelle and North received
word this morning that Martin Norton,
a man living at Tolles' station on the
New England road, seven miles from
this city, was suffering from hydropho-
bia. They were asked to go to Tolles'
and investigate. Accordingly, in COM
pany of Attorney G. G. Root and DR.
Bland, they went to the place, return
ing at 2 o'clock this afternoon. They
found Norton walking around the house
and thoroughly able to state the condi-
ton he was in. He says that he first
noticed the feeling coming on last Sun
day morning, when he attempted tc
partake of water. The attendants say
that he suffered from paroxysms every
time he saw water. The physicians
made careful examination and came
to the conclusion that Norton's symp
toms denoted hydrophobia.
Norton, who is 55 years old and un
married, was bitten by dog last July
DR. Axtelle was called at the time anC
cauterized the wounds, which were
principally on the hands and face. It'll
said that the dog belonged to John j
Smith of North Walnut street.
The physicians say that the diseas'
will make rapid progress now that it ha
shown itself and that 1T is only a ques
ton of time when it will result fatally
