Half Girl, Half Fish

In the Swiss colony, near ST. Floren
Ala, can be seen beautiful young
girl wheeled around in a perambulator,
the lower portion of which is covered.
She has never been seen outside of
this buggy except by her own parents
although she has enjoyed perfect
health during the sixteen years OF her
life. She is unusually bright and in
telligent, and from her carriage thor
oughly enjoys the society OF young
people OF her age. The reason that
the girl is doomed to spend her days
in the confines of her buggy is that
she is realistic mermaid. Before
her birth her mother was badly
frightened by shark while crossing
the Atlantic Ocean, and the lower
part of the child's body is that OF
fish. Her father, Anton Zimri, is a
highly successful grape grower, and
has become we'll off as wealth is count
ed in this section, but no surgical
treatment has as yet been found that
can devise means for correcting the
deformity Of his daughter. She has
none OF the characteristics of fish,
and has no more fondness OF water
than is usually possessed by girls of
her age.

Thunder Not Yet Explained.

Thunder, as far as it's consideration
by intelligent human beings is con-
cerned, is among the oldest of the
natural phenomena, AMI yet it is the
least understood. Thunder and pre.
ceding phenomena OF lightning have
been considered under many heads,
yet the peculiar cracking sounds which
IL heard the instant before the detona-
ton OF the main report has never been
the subject of much discussion. Ac-
cording to the authority on such sub
jects, M. Him, it is caused by the
separated columns OF air rushing TO.
gether after being separated by the
electric flash, the main report being
the actual contact of such divided
sections OF atmosphere. An Ohio
scientific has suggested something en-.
trely different. He says, as it not
possible that the cracking of thun-
der, one of the stock puzZlers for cen
turtles Is really caused by the CONVEX,
SION OF gases into water by the action
OF the electric flash or blazc?7 The
fact that each sharp peal of thunder
der Is foil owed by sudden increased
downpour of rain goes to prove that
something has caused the rapid con-
version Of gases or vapor into
water. Elk.

Train Load of Passengers in
Fearful Peril.

St. Paul, Sept. 3.-The experiences
of the crew and passengers of the st.
Paul Q Duluth limited train which was
caught and destroyed near Hinckley.
were thrilling and horrible. Such
sights as were witnessed there were
never befor surpassed in horror, and
the stoutest hearts quailed in the face
of the awful situation which confronted
the 200 souls on board the ill-fated
train. Fire in front of them, fire on
all sides of them, cracked and roared
and rushed along with tiendish eager
ness, sweeping everything before it,
While vast volumes of heavy smoke
shut out the light OF heaven and total
darkness reigned Men who were
there s]ludder and grow pale when they
speak of it. They saw strong men go
mad and leap from the train in their
delirium into the fiery furnace outside,
and they heard their last Wild Shrek
of agony ere the flames had Stilled
their cries. In the coaches were many
women and children, who shrieked
and cried and piteously begged God to
spare their lives. The little ones clung
wildly to their mothers, and their moth
ers on their knees prayed for deliver
ance from the fame
The members of the train crew went
through the coaches. giving the people
all the encouragement they could, and
imploring thm to keep cool.
AT the throttle Of the locomotive
stood one of the bravest men who
ever drove an engine, and mis- mad race
for the lives Of his passengers will be
recalled long after James Root has
passed away. Fire came in at every
window OF his cab, and three times
his clothes caught fire. Had ho aban-
doned the throttle he would have
sacrificed his own and 200 other lives.
With wonderful courage and sticis1n he
remained at his post, and directed the
fireman to throw water on him from
the tank in the tender, ami in this way
he was enabled to resist the approaches
of the demon, and eventually save the
lives Of his passengers. it was one Of
the bravest and nerviest deeds On rec
ord, and Root is ahero today.
AS the train was passing through the
fire eight or ten men jumped out Of
the car windows and perished. The
train finally reached Skunk lake, and
the passengers took refuge in tho
water, which was but two or three
feet deep. One or two persons died
OF freight and two or three more
suffocated, but the others were saved
after being in the swamp seven hours
