FAMILY POISONING
BY an irresponsible Member who Committed
Suicide.

KINGSTON, N. H., Oct. 2.-An inquest
was held today, into the alleged poisoning
cases of Watson Peck and two sons George
and Charles. Analysis of the organs of
Watson Peck submitted, showing
presence of arsenic in large quantit-
Autopsy on the body of George Peck also
shows arsenical poisoning. Symptoms in
three cases were identical. Evidence so far
secured indicates that George administered
the poison to his father and brother. George
was regarded mentally irresponsible. His
mother was taken sick with the same
symptoms but her life was saved. 1t is
believed that fear of exposure caused
George to commit suicide. Chester Peck,
the youngest member of the family, had
been lit about three weeks and died this
morning, the cause attributed being typhoid
pneumonia. An autopsy will be held.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WORD WAD.
Some of Its Various Meanings as Explained
by Mr.. Gratebar.

81 rather like the word wad," said Mr..
Gratebar. II suppose that in its COM
monest significance it would apply to al
most any unused up bunch of stutf-a
handkerchief, for instance, gathered up
loosely and pressed together in the hollow
of the hands as one would round snow
ball, would be wad. A bank note would
be in wad if it were all rumpled and
rolled up in q bunch. A number Of bills
iumbled and rumpled and twisted up to-
gcthcr any way would be described as
rolled up in a regular wad.
"WhiIe tho word thus conveys primari-
ly the idea of disorder, if not confusion,
it has in some of its applications to money
other and very different meanings. In
an account of a highway robbery we might
read, The robbers got away with his
wad.' Here wad would refer to the con-
tents of the victims purse, and it would
apply alike to 81 or 81 900 or to 81 80. 1t
would mean the sum of the victims pos
sessions in money whatever it might be.
another wad would be the wad refer
red to when we say: The colonel offered
to back his opinion with the hard cash
He got out his wad and proceeded to strip
$40 bills from the back of it, saying that
he, and so on. This wad must be about
as big around as middling sized tum-
bier, or nearly so. 1t is not imperative
that the bills should be all of largo de-
nomination Wads have been known that
had wrappers of fifties and filters of Ones
but bulk is essential.
81 once read of q wad of this sort that
was said to he as big around as a stove
pipe Perhaps something of the size of
this wad was due to somewhat ford
style of description, but would not lessen
it by single bill. A wad of that size is
pleasant to dwell upon. New York Sun.

FULL FLIGHT AND GRADUAL DESCENT.
ing the head of the machine always toward
the wind, and flat, horizontal rudder,
which serves to prevent sudden changes OF
equilibrium. The apparatus is adjusted
to the person in such way that when
floating in the air he will be seated upon
a narrow bar or support near the front
There is no Tapping of the wings by tho
efforts of the operator in this machine. 1t
is really sailing and not q flying ma
chino.
The apparatus being affixed to his per-
son, the operator, with the wings folded
behind him, takes short run from some
elevated point, running against the wind,
and when he thinks he has attained veloc-
ity enough he jumps into the air, spread
ing the wings. Atmospheric action does
the rest, and the operator scars away ma
jestically, like hugo bird. Mr.. Lilicnthal
has succeeded in accomplishing by this
method flights of 300 yards from given
starting point.
After having solved satisfactorily to
himself tho problem Of aerial suspension
the question of suitable motor confront
ed him. In order to overcome tho attrac-
ton of gravitation, an amount Of power
would be required which no man can exert
for more than very short space of time.
Neither steam engine nor an electric
motor was available in Mr.. LilienthaPs
machine, so he had to devise something
different. He conceived the idea of utiliz-
ing as motive force the vapor of liquid
carbolic acid, and constructed small en-
CINE, consisting Of q tiny cylinder, with
the requisite valves, to be worked by hand,
and o small reservoir. 1t was two horse
power, and its supply of acid was sufficient
to work the wings by u simple system OF
gearing for two hours. While practising
with latest developments of his flying ma
chine, soaring at an altitude of 200 feet,
the wings collapsed, and the aeronaut was
precipitated to the ground and badly in
jured.
