SHE SLEEPS FIFTEEN MONTHS,
Missouri Woman 4iwakes Little the
Worse from Her Peculiar
Experience.

Mrs. Dolly Sercy, of Albany, Mo-, has
just awakened from sleep lasting IS
months. A year ago last November
Mrs Sercy became ill and in few days
lapsed into Inconsistencies. from
which she was only few days ago
aroused. Medical men have puzzled
over the case, but have been unable to
reach an explanation of this mystic
rious malady.
No medicines were administered dur
ing this time, as the woman appeared
in q healthy condition. Nourishment
was administered at regular intervals
and the patient seemed to lose little
in flesh. It was feared that II she ever
awakened from tho long sleep her
mind would be . total wreck, but again
tho experts have been surprised at the
Developments Of this case. it
One day Mrs. Sercy suddenly opened
her eyes and in weak voice asked for
her children. She was greatly sur
prised at the change which she found
In them after the long interval, but
she had no difficulty in recognising
them, and appeared perfectly rational
on every saIbject. ArA 6ercy was not
greatly weakened by her illness, says
the New York World, and in . few
hours astonishsd her family and the
physicians by getting ont Of bed.

New York city's frs department. will
be the first to have q fire engine pro-
PEELED by air. The New York Autotruck
company IL now building an engine for

In commenting upon the horseless
engine of long ago, which was propelled
by steam, Chief Bonner said:
This city had four horseless engines,
furnished in 1874 and continued in use
bor several years. Our experience with
this class of engine was found to be
that they were difficult to manage on
narrow thoroughfares, and with con-
siderable risk connected with carrying
100 pounds or more of steam in the
boiler while proceeding to alarms OF
Gre. They were unreliable in winter
with snow or ice on the ground"

INDIA RUBBER TREES
Belgium Takes Action to Prevent
EARLY Destruction Of Valuable
Forests In Congo Free State.

Minister Bellamy Storer reports from
Belgium that in order to prevent the
early destruction of the forest of india
rubber trees in the Congo Free State
royal decree has been promulgated
providing that for every ton of india
rubber yielded each year there shall
be planted during the same period not
less than $50 trees or vines producing
india rubber. The state officials in
charge of the forests and those who
hold concessions are charged with the
execution of this provision. A bureau
of control is charged with the preser-
vation of the forests and the strict en-
forcement of the royal decree. Vio-
Atons of the decree are liable to fine
up to 10000 francs or imprisonment
not exceeding six months sor both. The
decree provides that all rubber shall
be gathered by incisions in the bark
of the trees or vines. All other methods
are prohibited.

An interesting application was made
recently which goes to show that when
the government granite pension 1t
cannot be told even approximately
when it will cease. A 17-year-old
widow, who married an old soldier,
who served only five months in the In
dian war Of 1888, made an application
for a penAon. This widow was the fifth
wife Of the old soldier, who was 60
years old when his fifth wife was born.
It is clearly evident she married him
for the purpose Of receiving awidow's
pension. His experience IN married
life was apparently unhappy, as four
OF the wives were divorced. The fifth
wife outlived him, however, but they
were married only six months when he
died.

Record-Thrilling Description
Of Experiences Of TraD.

Three Prussian officers, Lieuts.
Siegsfeld, Hildebrandto and Harthau-
sen, have made the swiftest balloon trip
on record. Harthausen is member of
the ballooning department. OF the gen
eral staff and gives thrilling descrip-
ton Of his experience. - ~
"On the morning Of the trip we de-
cided to ascend from Templehohsr field
There .waa q strong, steady northwest
wind Our plan, -was to descend at
Breslau, in Silesia, and be back TO Ber-
lin the same evening. We had an or
iinary military balloon, but heavily
ballasted, and we shot up at 1910 with
fearful rapidity.
1.-THE balloon tore along over the plain
watered by the Oder. We noticed the
speed when looking down at the earth,
but on looking upwards there was no
sense of motion whatever. We felt as
If the balloon was hanging still in the
sky.
I'VE swept over Breslau at q height
Of 1000 feet in little less than three
hours. We made no attempt to de-
scend, the wind being too strong. We
were travelling 6s miles an hour with
ease and smoothness and a delightful
sense of exhilaration impossible to de-
scribe.
"Breslau passed, the wind increased
and we determined to offer no re-
sistance, but turn our backs to II. The
balloon gradually rose and at three
o'clock we crossed the Austrian frontier
at an elevation of $500 feet at over 70
miles an hour. We decided to sink the
balloon and safely brought it to a
standsill at the village Of Baguska, in
Galicia, 423 miles from Berlin, as the
crow flies, at four o'clock.
This is the fastest balloon trip on
record, the previous record being held
by pair Of French aerouauts, who
travelled four hours at 90 miles an
hour" This feat has excited great in
terest here and the three officers were
especially complimented by the kaiser.
