But little less curious was the result Of
the meeting of the first congress in 1889.
As six congresses convened in the last cen
fury and the seventh in 1901 it results that
the calculation as to the number of any
congress turns on the alleged 'unlucky
number'-l3 Thus, to determine the mum

year it first convened and divide by two
the quotient is the number of the congress.
Conversely, double the number of any con

Ninety-One and thirteen are lO4, the half Of

Guilty found their way home In the fierce storm that

Thursday the search was resumed by several men
at daybreak. Undcterred by wind and rain that al

through several swamp paths, but without encourage
ment until toward evening when little fox terrier
a pet Of Torgevars, manifested great uneasiness,

brother of Torgeya encouraged the dog. and In Few
minutes the faithful animal darted into thicket ana
was heard whining and barking. The men pressed
through the dense growth and found the dog licking
the face OF Its unconscious young master The niue
fellow overcome In his wanderngs, had found shelter
under heavy growth Of small birch on comparatively
high ground. while the surrounding swamp was COW

garment or protection from the elements except the
thin trousers. The rescung party was prepared with
rest0raves and soon brought the lad TO CONSCIOUS
