Berlin was the scene Of a collision
between a horse car and a balloon re-
Gently. A captive military balloon
broke loose during a sQuall, and drove
across the Tempelhof field, dragging
with it the soldiers who were holding
it. On reaching the street, though its

passengers Two OF the soldiers who
held On were badly hurt.
A peasant woman living near Lau-
same, Switzerland. put an iron box
containing $50 francs in bank notes in
TO her stove for safe keeping. Her son
made a fire while she was away, and

government gave the woman a new set
Of notes.

A telegram from Meymac reports a
tragic episode at a funeral there. Dur
ing the interment Of a woman named
Ladais the mOurners. as the body was
being lowered into the grave, heard a
slight rafting and the sound Of some
one choking. The coffin was opened,
and the corpse was found all twisted.
The horrible contraction of the features
showed that death must have occurred
from suffocation after the coffin was
fastened.
When a child dies in Greenland the

Probably the oldest man in the world
IS Mr. Robert Taylor. OF Scarva, Coun-
" Down. Ireland. who is said TO have
been born in the year 1854. Some are
to TX the date OF his birth in
ESQ. but from his recollection of cir
,umstances which happened II would
appear that he was at least 100 years
# age. He did not marry until 1879,
which nasty people say may have some
hing to do with his longevity. He is
wonderfully strong and hale.
