LOOKS LIKE A BEAR.
Does This Diminuttve Animal That
You Can Find in Drinking Wafer

He really looks very much like a.
bear, though you must put him under
powerful microscope to see the re-
semblance, says lid Bits The extra
ordinary thing, however, about this
tiny creature is that he is found in the
cutters Of houses, where he is at one
time dry as dust and scorched by the
blazing sun, at another active and full

The water-bear is one OF the Rotifer
animalculeS, and is Of all of them the
most capable of standing any ex-
tremes of temperature without giving
up the ghost. He may be left dried up
for months, even years and yet on
being put into water will expand and
begin moving about and feeding
vigorously. Although he cannot stand
boiling water, he will live in dry heat
at far higher temperature, even up
to 260 degrees Eahr. One has actually
been kept in vacuum for thirty days

calcium without losing his capability

The water-bear has the scientific
name of Tardigrada. because he takes
life so easy He is always fat and
plump, and spends his waking periods
ir constantly grubbing with his four
pairs of legs among whatever rubbish

and a nervous system. he is much
ahead of his tribe, and is altogether

BELL TOOK LAUDANUM
Tired Of Life but tho Stomach Pump Kee
Him Here

Tired Of Life but tho Stomach Pump Keeps
Him Here
An attempt at suicide was made last
evening by Thomas Eell. a native OF
Belfast, Ireland, who in lodging house
at No. 218 East Fifth street last evening
took a dose of laudanum, intending to
end his existence. Bell came to this city
a week ago from Troy N. Y, in company y
with his nephew, David Brathwaite, il
search of work.
About $50 yesterday evening a boy
called at the police station and stated
to the desk clerk that a man had taken
poison on Fifth street, requesting that
the patrol wagon be sent a once to the
scene. This was done but on arriva
the officers found Bell in bed fully
dressed and acting as though just re-
covering from debauch.
On a table close by stood an empty
vial which had contained laudanUm, but
which looked as though it had not bee n
disturbed for week. Rell refused tc
go to the hospital ard said that nothing
was the matter with him. so the wagon
returned and nothing more was thought
of, the matter.
1t appears that Bell had. after all, TAX :
en- the poison because of despondency
over his failure to secure work, for about
7:30 in the evening he had grown sc
much worse that Dr. j. j. Still was
called in. Bell was suffering from laud-
anum poisoning, but the liberal use OF
the stomach pump and pernangenate OF
potash pulled him through all right af-
ter couple of hours hard work.

A CONTRACTOR ARRESTED
Charged by q cIothisr With Passing Ficti-
ti)us Check

Before Justice Morrison in the police
court yesterday James Corwin, a con-
tractor, was arraigned on the felony
charge of passing fictitious check for
$40, drawn on the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank and purporting to have
been signed by one c. N. Holden, upon
H. w Goldwater, North Spring street
clothing merchant.
On Saturday morning last Corwin
called at Goldwater'S store and induced
the latter's son to cash the check for
him. Within an hour it was discovered
to be of no value and a complaint was
made to police headquarters. The mat
ter was turned over to Detective Good
man, who arrested Corwin later in the
day and locked him up, keeping the
matter secret until yesterday afternoon.
Corwin is said to have acknowledged
to the officer that he was guilty, but
gave as an excuse that he had been hav-
ing a pretty rough time and was broke
and respondent. In a moment of fool
ishness he issued the check and regret
ted it almost as soon as it was done.
Examination on the charge was set for
March 4th at 1890 a. m. and the prisoner
was remanded to Jail in default of bonds.

burglar; so a telephone message was
sent to the police station and Officer
Long sent to the scene. By the time
he arrived the thief had made good mis-
escape, but that he had been in the
house was plainly evident. Entrance
had been secured through the kitchen
door which had been left open. Several
of the bedrooms had been ransacked,
but so far as could be discovered nothing
had been carried away

SMITH GOES FREE
nrs. Harriet Stanley's $1,000 Still Wandering
Around Loose

AROUND Loose
Upon motion of the district attorney
the complaint against E. V. Smith Of
having obtained $1,000 from Mrs. Harriet
Stanley by false pretenses was dismissed
in the township court.
This case is somewhat curious. The
complainant still adheres to her story
regarding the love passages between
herself and Smith, but close investiga-
ton of the case has revealed the fact
that 1t would be hard to sustain the allie
cation of false pretenees." If the
facts really are as heretofore stated at
length by the Herald, then Mr.. Smith is
quite an ingenious gentleman, and dis
plays q business acumen in the conduct
of his love affairs as refreshing as it is
rare.
While the present action has been dis
missed it is matter for consideration
whether suit to recover that lost $1,000
would not be on some other basis.
