A MYSTERY SOLVED.
Body of Missing Doctor Found-No
Signs of Foul PLAY.

BOLTON, Conn, Nov. 3-The mystery
surrounding the disappearance of DR.. Charles
Fox from his home in East Hartford May II of
last year has just been solved. His dead body
was discovered in the woods here, several
rods from the highway and about a mile
east of Manchester Green. The remains
were buried in about three inches of leaves,
and the clothing and flesh were little more
than dust. Several of the doctors effects
were found, including a gold watch mem
orandum book, an Odd Fellows pin and
other articles, which readily established the
mans identity. DR.. Fox was one of the leading
physicians of Hartford, but owing to mental
trouble, brought on by overwork. was
forced to give up practice few years ago,
when he removed to East Hartford. On
the Sunday morning Of his disappearance
he babe his wife good-by, saying he was
going out for a short walk. Later in the
day he was known to have inquired OF a
gentleman residing near Manchester Green
the direction to Bolton and after that all
traces OF him were lost Immediately after
his disappearance reward of $500 was
offered by Mr.. Fox for information rs to his
whereabouts. There were no indications of
suicide or foul play.

Air III IIirh AIiitmdrs.

Remarkiug upon the fact of the
marked enlargement of chest capacity
which is often found after few
months residence in the high A TS,
and the tendency to Il development of
II compensatory emphysema around
the diseased and contracting portions
of the lungs, writer in 1.-The HOspi-
tai refers to the evidence, asrecently
shown, that not only to the chest
muscles adapt themselves To the new
conditions presented by that region,
hut that the blood itself becomes al
tered in response to the lessened
amount of the more raretied oxygen
which each blood corpuscle can carry.
The effect noticed of this process of
adaptation is that the red cOrpuscles
multiply considerably, while accord
ing to some, the haemoglobin is in
creased also-in any case, the oxygen
carrying of the blood is augmented.
This accords fullywith thewell-known
effect of mountain air in the treatment
of anHmia, and also with the feeling
of well-beiug felt by the visitors to
high attitudes, but it does not do TO
dissect II climate too much, or to at
tribute to one or two factors what
really is due to the concurrence of

cities in this noisy world. II is iron

lighted with it. 1t is made of wooden
materials impregnated with patented
preparation, which gives it resist
ance of 22O0 pounds to every square

of all kinds can use it to great advan-
tage, for not only does it deaden sound
and prevent shock, but it diminishcs
materially the wear and tear on the

The first experiments were made by
the Berlin City railroad, over which
800 trains pass each day. The results

In the United States, the first duel
on record was in 1851. The most
notable duel in history was that be
tween Aaron Burr and Alexander
Hamilton. In the navy, the duel be
tween Barron and Decatur holds first
place. Henry Clay and John Ran
dolph fought in 1926. Jonathan Cilley
of Maine was killed by William j.
Graves of Kentucky, i'll 1896. Both
were congressman, but the duel was
regarded a personal and not politi-
cal matter. The very latest duel in
the United States which commanded
public attention was in 1912, between
James Watson Webb, of the then New
York Courier, and Thomas F. Marshall,
a member of congress from Kentucky.

A GOOD OLD CUSTOM
Impossible TO stop Rics Throwing Al
weddings Device Of Eleetrician.

tu,po.sibIe 20 stop Ric. Throwing AZ
weddings Device Of El-eiriciah.
The effort to stop the good old Gus
tom Of throwing rice at weddings has
proved failure. Nearly two years
ago the anti-rice crusade began IN Bos-
ton, aud for time the gelatine flakes
that were substituted we're used
almost entirely. The chief argument
against rice was the danger that lay
in the indisrriminate throwing of small
hard PARTICLES. Serious accidents nave
resulted frequently from It, notable
case being that of a young woman IN
this city, who got one Of the PARTICLES
in her eve and lost the sight oil II.
Another Young woman almost choked
TO death on rice which stuck IN her
open mouth. Yet bridal parties are
showered with rice nowadays Just as
they have been for wears. The anti
rice agitatiou was short-liyed, aud now
that if has been crushed out entirely,
people seem to lie trying to make up
for the Iause by more elaborate indul-
gence in the old custom. At a recent
Wedding breakfast in this city Il young
electrician. who is something of a
practical joker, tried bran-new de-
vice on the assembled company. 1t
was Il paper ball, filled with rice, and
il stood in the centre of the table, and
was So completely covered with flow
ers that it was not noticed by any of
the guests BY an ingenious arrange
ment of springs the ball conld be
broken and the rice scattered in every
direction by merely touching an cleo
tric push button, which this young
man had fixed in the floor right under
his seat At an opportune moment
the Joker set his machine of, sprink-
ling everything ON the table with rice.
The rice bomb was a tremendous sue
cess, and the electrician has been
asked to fix up similar bombs for Il
half-doZeu weddings to take place
among his friends this winter. New
