Berlin was the scene of collision
between horse car and a balloon re-
Gently. A captive military balloon
broke loose during squall, and drova
across the Tempelhof field, dragging
with it the soldiers who were holding
It. On reaching the street, though its
speed was checked by its carrying away

A telegram from Meymac reports a
tragic episode at funeral there. Dur
ing the interment of woman named
Ladais the mourners, as the body was
being lowered into the grave, heard q
slight rafting and the sound Of some
one choking. The coffin was opened,

When child dies In Greenland the
natives bury a live dog with 1t, the
dog to be used by the child as guide

Probably the Oldest man in the world
is Mr.. Robert Taylor, OF Scarva, Coun-
ty Down. Ireland, who Is said to have
been born in the year 1764. Some are
disposed to fix the date of his birth in
1880, but from his recollection of cir
cumstances which happened 1t would
appear that he was at least 100 years
Of age He did not marry until 1872,
which nasty people say may have some
thing to do with his longevity. He Is
wonderfully strong and hale.
