HE HAS A BALD HEAD.
Abe Bunter Can Crack Grindstones
and Fight Bulls With His Skull.
snrlncfeId lMassl Rcnuhllcan.


The day we celebrate Is thought 10 have been
tile on hundred and third birthday of Ablam
Parsons, better and more widely known as
"Abe Bunter" one of those famous charact ers
of Willamstown. known 10 every living giadu-
ATE Of " iliams College.
"A be" probably has the hardest head in the
world. How he found this out Is not recorded ,
but he early discovered that In butting
he had no equal. aud he made the
most OF the discovery. A plank which it was
desired 10 split Abe would sever by taking
the heaviest board IN his two hands and
splitting Oh his Uranium. Tradition has il that
BuDter once brOk grlntstone Into spllniers,
and wenIy years ago there were venerable and
Trustworthy citizens of Williamstown who
known the students and people of the village
would briDe him TO test IL. A cheese would be
put In bag and Abe told that he could have
the cheese IL he would break ii b. bunting.
This proved so easy that a tnin grlndstone was
subst uted for the cheese In he bag, and Bun
ter shiveied The stone with comparative ase.
He CLAIMS 10 have killed sheep with his he d +,
ana even to have baitied with pulls In this way.
In sober truth IL may be said that those who
new Abe 10 his prime would hesitate about
backing the bull with money in such contest.
Although Abe has lived beyond the centu y
he is much more lively than many half his age.
Only Yesterday he walked over mile and az
tended circus, after which he gave several
exhibitions of dancing. In truth AGe's skull is
so remarkable hat II has excited the Interest
of scientific men. and when the old man gets
under a contract signed aud sealed. Meanwhile
IL looks as If 1t might be long before Abe carr les
out his part OF the arrangement, Tor lie says he
hopes TO live long time yet.

latest discovery in that county. w. A. ingalls, of
CandeIaria is developing what is be ieved to be a
large deposit of coal. 1T is located about twenty

less than twenty feet under ground and they have
a ledge varying from SIX to ten feet wide, about
half of which is believed to be good coal. II this

better than q gold mine.

WEIGHT OF A CROWD.
Experiments Show 1t Is From $40
to $50 Pounds Per Square Foot.
Engineering New


The load which is produced by dense crowd
of persons is generally taken at 80 to 100
pounds per square foot and Is considered o be
the greatest uniformly distributed load for
which a floor need be prop0rtoned. That this
value may be largely exceeded in an actual
crowd was pointed out by Professor w. G. Ker-
not OF the Melbourne University. Australia, in
a recent paper before the Victorian Institute of
Engineers. In an actual trial class OF stu
dents averaging 1885 pounds ach in weight
were crowded In a lobby containing 1928
square feet, making an average floor load OF
l347 pounds. There was Still room 10 have
placed another man, which would have brought
I'D the loading TO 143.1 pounds per square loot.
Professor Kernot also quoted from Stoney,
who placed ffIy-eigbt Irish IabOrers, averaging
las pounds each i'll weight, IN an empty ShiD
deckhouse measuring ffty-seyeD square feet,
floor area. This was load OF l47 pounds
per square foot. In another test, with seventy
three laborers crowded into hu feet by
feet inches, Stoney produced load OF 43
pounds per square foot, and stimated that TWO
or three more men could have been squeezed
Ia. 1t appears from these experiments that
while the figures ordinarily assumed OF so 20
100 pounds are sufficiently correct on spaces on
which here Is no eau e 10 induce lie collection
OF g'eat crowds, larger figures. say 40 to 100
pounds per square foot. SHOULD be used Tor rail-
way stations and platforms, entrance ana exit
TO places OF public assemblies or OF office build
mas, bridge sidewalks. payemenfs over vanlis,
anu other places where dense crowds are likely
TO gather.

dashing upon the rocks and tossing
the feluccas with their three cor
nered sails from side to side, and in
the green towers of the mosques and
the listless leaves of the royal palms
rising from the center of a mass of
white roofs, and above all in the col
or and movement in the bazaars and
streets. The streets represent alb
solute equality. They are at the
widest but yards across, and every
one pushes, and apparently every
one has something to sell, or at least
something to say, for they all talk
and shout at once and cry at their
donkeys or abuse whoever touches
them. A water carrier, with his
goatskin bag on his back and his fin
ger on the tube through which the
water comes, jostles you on one side,
and slave as black and shiny as
patent leather boot shoves you on
the other as he makes way for his
master on fine white Arabian horse
with brilliant trappings and a huge
contempt for the donkeys in his
way.-Richard H. Davis in Harper's
