A DBsPoNDBNT GERMAN.
Tired of Life He Tried TO Commit
SufcI6e in 2 Car.

A German, about So years old, 5 feet 8
inches IN height, whose name is unknown,
was found in a semi-conscious condition
in a freight car at Grand street and
Pacific avenue, early yesterday morning.
Beside MIN was a bottle. an examination
of which revealed the fact that it had
contained laudanum. How much of the
poison he a swallowed the mar re-
fused to say. He was removed to the
City Hospital, where, it is said, his re-
covery is doubtful.
In his coat pocket a note, written in
German, was found. In it the would-be
suicide had written that he was tired
of the struggle for existence n pre-
ferred death to the way he had been
living. He bade goodbye to some friends,
whose names he did not state, and sug-
gested to whoever found his body not to
make an effort to ascertain who ne was,
as it would entail an unnecessary expense
upon the property owners OF Hudson
county. This part Of the note leads the
police to suppose the man is a resident
of the county
AT the City Hospital this morning it
was learned thai the man had recovered
Consciousness yesterday afternoon. His
name, he said, was Henry Walter, thirty
one years old, and born in Germany. His
reason for taking the laudanum was, he
said, that he had been respondent; he had
walked the streets of this city for five
days and had nothing to eat during that
time. He was sorry, he said, that he
had not succeeded in taking his life.

QUlGLBYs HEALTH.
Well Enough to Vote. but Not to
stand Trial for Policy Dealing.

The trial of Michael ]. Quigley. one of
the alleged policy dealers captured in
Jim Solomon's headquarters in the famous
furniture van raid. was IN the calendar
for today. Lawyers Allan L. McDermott
and Norman L. Rowe asked for a further
postponement because Quigley is still
sick. Judge Hudspeth said the Court had
been informed thai Quigley has been
seen IN the streets several times. and
that he was out no longer ago than Tues
day.
Mr.. Rowe said 1t was true thai Quig-
ley was out on Tuesday, but he only
went out to vote and he got a relapse
in consequence of it. DR.. John j. Nevin.
who is attending Quigley, stated that he
does not consider Quigley in a fit physi-
cal condition to Withstand the ordeal of
a trial. Judge Hudspeth decided that
the trial must go on unless the County
Physician decided that the defendant is
unable to come to court. He said that
no reflection whatever on DR., Nevin was
intended, but there are witnesses in the
County Jail awaiting the disposition of
this case, and 1t must be tried as speed
lily as possible. County Physician Con-
verse was directed to go at once and
examine Quigley.

A LoBsTBR's LEGS.
He HAS a Plentiful supply But Few
Are Used for walking.

A lobster's legs all told are ten in num-
Der. But only eight of these are largely
used forkwalking. The front pair, or big
claws, have been specialized. as in the
crab and most others of the higher crus-
taceans, into prehensible organs for
catching and crushing the prey. Their
use is obvious. HOLSTERS feed largely off
mollusks of various sorts and other hard
shelled marine animals; in order to be
able to break or crush the shells of these,
and so to get at the softer flesh within
they lave acquired such large and very
muscular nippers or pinchers. That Is
not all, however; not only have the two
front legs been differentiated and special
lied from the eight others in this man
ner, but also, by a rare exception to the
symmetry of the body, the right claw
has been specialized from the left, each
being Intended to perform a9distinct func-
ton. One is a scissors, the other is a
mill, one is a cutter, the other is a
cracker.
AS a rule, the righfclaw Is the slender
er and longer; it has toothlike p~rojec-
lions or serrated edges on its nipping
and severing than for crushing or grind
ing. The left claw, on the other hand,
is usually thicker, heavier n rounder;
its muscles are more powerful, and in
place of sharp teeth it has blunt tuber-
cles or hammers of different sizes; it
acts, in fact, more like a nut-cracker than
like teeth or a saw; it is a smashing or
gan. Nevertheless you will find it interest
ing to observe, by noting the Holsters
served to you at table, that this differen-
tiation has hardly as yet become quite
constant; for sometimes 1t is the light
claw that displays the nammerlike nut
cracker type, and the left hat acts as
nipper and bitter. while sometimes no
difference occurs at all, both claws alike
being sharp toothed or blunt hammered
in the same observation-disclosures Maya
zine.
