F0 UND PLOTTING IN THE RIVER.


The Body OF John Fltzstmm Ons, MISC
ing for Two Months.
The body of John Fitzsimmons Of 1913
Poplar street, who had been missing
about two months, was found about
O'clock yesterday afternoon floating in
Quinnipiac river, opposite Henry A.
Stevens coal yard. The body was dis
covered by Silas Stevens, who Is en-
ployed on the steamer Sparks. He no
titled H. A. Stevens at the coal office,
and the latter notified the police. The
medical examiner, Dr. White, was no.
titled and viewed the body. The re-
mains were badly decomposed, SO much
SO that it was impossible to tell wheth-
err or not there were bruises upon the
body. 1t is thought, however, that
Fitzsimmons' death was due to acct
dental drowning.
At the time he disappeared, about
two months ago, he was employed on
the oyster steamer Cygnet. On De-
CeHlDer Ii IASl ne ulsdppedreu anu the
fact wass reported to the police His
family feared at the time that he had
been accidentally drowned while on his
way to work, but search OF the river
failed to find him.
About the time that Silas Stevens
saw the body it was also seen by
Charles Allen, an FISHERMAN employed
by Dayton Bros, and he also informed
the police.
The remains were not mutilated. 1t
is thought that the body was embodied
in the mud and Became loosened yester-
day and floated down the river with the
tide.
On the body was found among other
papers certificate of membership in
the Naval Veterans association; $1297
in money in his pocket also. The re-
mains were taken to Sislx's undertaking
rooms. The deceased leaves wife and
two children, one a daughter nineteen

An Interesting Experiment.

An interesting experiment is about to be made by the government of Bes- nia and Herzegovina in connection with the subject of the migration Of birds. A number of observatories are to be established throughout both countries on the coasts, plains, mountains, riv- ers. lakes and at all points which seem likely to yield results of interest to those engaged in researches on bird migration. Under the auspices of the government of both countries meet ing of ornithologists has been convened to take place at Sarajevo during the current month, and proposal will be made to other governments to insti- tute similar plans of observation, the intention being to unite them all In . common and uniform system

One TowD Which Finds the Eyenins
 Bell q Success,

Elmira is trying She virtue of cur few ordinance. It's express purpose is to keep oat of the streets the crildren who have been permitted to frequent them in the evening without restraint heretofore. says the Elmira Advertiser. 1t takes effect at 9 o'clock in the sum- mer and at 8 o'clock during the win watched with interest, and no one can doubt that the new rule will be as faithfully enforced hereafter as 1t has been during the first week. Only one arrest has been made, but that was sufficient to show the intention of the police department to enforce the ordi- nance in fair and reasonable man ner. According to all the testimony at hand it aeeomplishes the purpose for which it was passed. Children, and young girls in particular, are no long CT seen promenading the streets in groups or singly, and the gain for or der Is plainly noticeable. There is a disposition shown in the press of other cities to poke fun at the course pur- sued here, but our citizens care nothing eor that. They are trying honestly an experiment from which much good is hoped, and their expectations have met no dlsappointments up to today. Instead of laughing at our village" similarly afflicted communities would do well to adopt the same course of treatment for what is everywhere ac- knowledged to be a serious evil If large numbers of the young can be kept out of temptation and from evil courses by so simple a device. it is far wiser to try it than to jeer at it. It is not laughing matter at all, but one of grave moment to the welfare of nearly all large towns. Our expert ment is worthy of general imitation. for It is a great success In its begin- ming. .s.zg

BOAT DRILL IS TERRIFYING.
Performance Aboard Ship That Always
 scares the Passengers.


 Scares the Passengers.
 A boat drill Is an interesting per formance when one sees it for the first time, provided be knows that 1t is com ing; but it's terrors are real for those who do not expect it nor understand what 1t means. The second day out, while was sitting calmly on deck, |" said woman who crossed the ocean this summer. 1T heard the bell ring vio- lently and continuously. Looking around, saw two able seamen drag ging a heavy hose and in another sec ond the water was turned on full force Then the crew began to appear on every hand and to tear about in the widest way. Meanwhile the bell con- tinued to ring and the captain stood on the bridge giving orders. I wondered if l had time to go for my pocketbook or for life-preserver. I did regret that l had not read more carefully the di- rectiens for putting on the life-pre. server. Meanwhile tried to find out how near death we were, and just what was the cause of our doom, but the men to whom 1 appealed were as much frightened or as ignorant as I. Yes, the ships on fre,' answered one. An other said he didn't know whether there was fire in the hold or whether something had broken about the en- zine. The crew was busy getting the lifeboats over and hadn't time to an- swer any questions saw two women crying and clinging to their husbands, and one woman was about to leap overheard when she was restrained by man in a white coat and apron, who, 1 think, was a cooks boy. The cooks boy told me at last that it was a drill to test the men. Don't try to encour- age me, I protested; T would rather know the worst It must have been over in five minutes, but I learned in that time to feel what it meant to be sure of death at sea. I asked the cap tain why he didn't warn the passen- gers of what was coming. Because the men would know, too, he replied, and I wouldn't find out then how many men slept on duty. ]"

Fire Depart. eas chaplaIn..

The New York fire department is tc be equipped with chaplains, just the same as regiment of soldiers. The officials consider that it is as necessary to have chaplains at fires as it is to have them accompany troops to the firing line in time of battle. Loss of life at fires is sometimes very heavy. as was recently shown here. There should always be some one present to administer spiritual consolation. Fire Commissioner Scannel has appointed two ehaplains for the department. They will hold the rank of chief of battalion, and will perform the same duties as chaplains in the army, in all cases ac- companying their battalions into ac- ton. The only distinction between ar- my chaplains and fire chaplains is that the latter will receive no compensation for their services.-New York Corres- pondence Pfttsburg Dispatch.

SOON FOR THOSE DEmEnrEn
Newly Invented strait-Jaeket That
 VIII Save Much Suffering.

Will save mucH suuerlngs
 From Washington Times: J. II. Hooper of Baltimore applied for patent papers on an Invention that pr6nfses 10 be of fnealcuIable assistance to hos pitals and public and private asyIums where insane, delirious CT unrI1Iy patients are handled. The invention IS known as q rest sheet and strait jacket and is a combination of both, holding the patient securely and com- fortably without even the aid of an att tendant. All the hospitals have felt the need of just such an invention as has been perfected by Mir Hooper, and hospital attendants in general will hail with delight the advent of the sheet and jacket that will save both many struggles with wild sufferer and tn many cases personal injury of some sort to either the patient or the nurse. The patent is especially to protect in- sane or delirious patients, and can be adjusted to any bed whatsoever. It can be affixed as readily to cot or a sur- gical table, and the patient is held in
  sonal injury, but also to prevent the exposure of any part of the body. This will be especially advantageous in many cases where exposure to the air is especially deleterious to the suffer- CTS chances of recovery. The pa- tient may be left entirely alone without fear, for the strongest man is utterly helpless when under the sheet. The sheet is made of heavy cotton duck, which can be both laundered and ster- ilized, thus fulfilling all hygienic con- ditions. The sheet fits close around the neck of the prostrate patient, be- ing edged with ehamois to avoid chaf- Ing. The arms cone through two openings in the sheet and are held down in a chamois lined duck traI ar- rangement that gives ease yet security. The feet are strapped in like manner. being covered with an extra flap of cotton duck to keep off flies and air. This extra flap gives certain Freedom to the feet that would be impossible if placed under the main sheet which is drawn down tight by the fastenings. These are made in such way as to be impossible to tear out The head can be turned and the body to some ex- tent, but the most frantic struggles would be productive of no harm on the part of the patient. Two extra straps can be run across the body if deemed necessary. The device has been in use fn the city hospital in Baltimore for the past six months, and is given the highest endorsement.

LIKE DIAMOND WALLS.
The Beautiful Appearance of the h.
 terior of Nevada Cavern.


 On the north side of the Osgood range of mountains, about four miles east of Eden creek, there is a natural cave of quite large dimensions. It is in the limestone formation and has the appearance of an old worked-out mire with it's stopes, raises and winzes. It is almost impossible to find the entrance, as it is covered with growth of underbrush. The first thing that a person notices is small ereviee ir the rocks, but as he crawls into the creyice on hands and knees he finds that it widens as he goes down About fifteen feet from the entrance a man can stand up and walk down the gradual incline, which is at about 50 degrees. At a place thirty feet from the mouth there Is raise some thirty feet high and drift forty feet long The sight which meets the cave seekers gaze at this point is most beautiful On the ceiling large stalac- tites hang in clusters, and the walls are decorated with crystals of lime in- IGQ WILL 0lOpS u WuSC4y 6oAt AA1s it the appearance of being set with millions of diamonds. Farther down the cave widens until chamber Is reached which is over sixty feet across and over fifty feet high. There are numerous other passages or caverns, and on the left there is passage big enough to admit the body, that opens into second chamber which is about twenty feet across and ten CT fifteen feet high. In the main chamber. some twenty feet high, can be seen the open Ing of another chamber, but as there is no timber near to make ladders the upper cavern has not yet been explored. There are, no doubt, other large chambers which could be found were closer exploration to be made. Stalactites and stalagmites can be seen h all directions. Water is dropping continually, and the light of candle shining upon these crystals and drops of water gives the cave a very en- trancing appearance. This cave is the home of the wood rat, and there are indications that there might be thou sands of the little animals which make this natural wonder their home.--Win nemucea Silver State.

 Skating on Water.

According to Prof. J. Joly of Trinity College, Dublin, skater really glides about on narrow film of water, con- tlnually forming under the skate, and resuming the solid form when relieved of pressure. He shows that the pres- sure under the sharp edge of the skate, along the short portion of the steel curve which is at any moment in con- tact, is great enough to liquefy a thin line of ice, and this gives the skate its "bite." When the ice is very cold. the pressure Is sometimes inadequate to reduce the melting point sufficient ly, and then, as all skaters know, 1t is difficult to make the skate bite. For very cold ice Prof Joly recommends
 hollow ground skates. because the effective pressure increases with the thinness of the edge.
 There are no real virtues which ars inconsistent with each other, and 1t h only our own deficiencies in some spe~ cial direction that could make it appear a0.
