CEDAR LAKE MYSTERY.
Police Detectives Busily Engaged on
Various Clews.

Various CLOVIS.
Chicago, Oct. 6.-Progress in the
in-shore esarch of Cedar Lake now be-
ing made for light on the mystery OF
the woman's skull found in its waters
has led to the drawing of some arten-
ton to the ruins of the Lake View
hotel. formerly known as the Won Bor-
stel place, which was destroyed by fire
two months ago.
The place has long been Abandoned
as resort. but 1t was made head
quarters by gangs that came from Chi
cago and other points.
A search of the ruins will be made
to see If anything can be found that
will cast any light on the mystery. The
ruin of the hotel is on the west shore
of the lake. across from where the
skull was found. and in the general
direction in which the divers are now
working.
1t is limited that strange deeds were
done in the deserted hotel before fire
destroyed it.
W. SupotaulAdl UltS Vi eNlutuCe u
a most heinous crime were brought up
by the divers late yesterday. These
were pieces of bone and a rock, which
was found near where the trunkless
head was fished from the water.
The rock which was brought to the
surface by Diver Gunderson on mis-
third tour of the lake mud weighs
about ten pounds and is of limestone
formation.
1t is rock wholly foreign to the
substrata found around Cedar Lake
and was evidently carried to the water
from a distant locality. More than
this, the rock bears evidence Of hav-
ing been hammered out to fit rope.
Sheriff Lawrence is earnestly trying
to locate the dentist who made the
silver plate found in the mouth of the
woman's trunkless head.
Detective Frank Stible OF Chief Cole
rams force, is directing his energies
to find the man who drove the strange
young man and woman from Crown
Point to the lake on that April after
noon two years past, and also the man
who leased the boat to the strange
couple for ride on the lake.
The pieces of bone found in the lake
by Diver Gunderson are in the hands
of expert anatomists. who will soon
report their conclusions on them.
These are the salient features which
the officials hope to link together and
finally unravel the mystery that now
confounds them.

SUBMARINE FIGHTER.
Mysterious Torpedo Boat In Courss OF
Construction at Stamford.

Mysterious Torpedo Boat In Courss Of
Construction at Stamford.
For nineteen months a submarine
eorpedo-boat has been in process Of
construction at Ware Island, of SIAM
ford, Conn. Great secrecy has been
maintained by the builder and COM
paratively little is known Of the plan
OF the boat or what she Is expected
to accomplish. To casual observer
the boat looks like great cigar paint
ed bottle green. Its length Is given as
fifty feet over all. The bow ia SHARP,
the stern rounded The boat is fitted
with heavy ram made Of maple and
tapers from six inches to perhaps
twenty-five in diameter. II is four feet
six inches long and fitted on the end
is steel plug which tapers to point
The she'll of the boat is OF yellow
pine, bound with iron hoops, covered
with coatings of ship felt and pitch.
Galvanized iron covers the coatings
of pitch and felt. On the top Of the
craft is deck conforming to the shape,
of the boat. There is also a coming
tower, with two torpedo loops The
machinery is connected with the con-
ming tower. Electricity is the motive
power used. 1t is said that three men
will compose the crew. The torpedo
loops are made water tight by prep
aration Of rubber and copper A rub
Der cap also screws down over the top
Of the tower outside and encircling the
deck are several exhaust pipes. The
craft will be propelled by water taken
in through openings, one on each side,
about four feet from the stern of the
craft and well down toward the princi-
pal keel. These openings are connect
ed with pumps which are operated by
two engines of 1000 horse power each.
From the pumps run four seven-inch
copper pipes, two in each side Of tho
boat. The water forced through these
In the blunt stern of the boat and.
coming in contact with the body Of
water in which the boat rests, forces
1t ahead. II is not calculated that
very great speed will be attained. To
the stern is fitted cap of iron bolted
with wood to make it tight. This cap
Is connected with lever on the inside
Of the boat and when 1t Is desired to
back the vessel the cap Is placed
partly over the vents in the stern.
This gives the water emerging through
the opening backward movement and
causes the boat to 60 back. There are
two dynamos, which are operated by
the two engines mentioned. Kerosene
is used as fuel. There are fourteen
tanks in the bottom of the boat, capa-
BILE of holding ffty-five barrels Of oil.
This 2.700 gallons of kerosene also an
swers the purpose Of balance. When
a tank has been exhausted provision
Is made to take in sea water to refill 1t.
The interior of the boat is divided into
three sections. In the rear Is the en-
gine-room, in the center are the lock-
ers and apartments for the crew and
in the bow is store-room. The In
terror is braced by an octagonal frame
of wood and iron. The craft will be
lighted throughout by electricity. So
far as can be learned there Is no pro-
vision made for leaving the boat wher
1t is under water.

soLEs SAVED LIFE.
IL 1t Had Been Flesh and Blood tho
Man Would Have Perisbed

IL 1t Had Been Flesh and Blood tho
Man Would Have Perished.
Mr.. West, young man from Michi-
gan. who is a travelling salesman for
the Armour Beef Company of Chicago.
representing the Boston division, was
in New Britain this week and in pass
ing along the street with a customer
they had occasion to cross the tracks
OF the third-rail cars, says the South
Manchester News, The young man
and his friend were engaged in earn
est conversation at the moment, and
the New Britain man, supposing that
the stranger knew of the danger that
turks in he third rail, did not sound a
note of warning until the young man
placed one foot on the third rail.
when, realizing instantly what had
occurred. he shouted to the drummer
to beware. Without knowing to what
the shout referred and thinking that
it must have alluded to an approach
ing car or train, although he could
see neither, the westerner hurried to
step across the tracks and in doing
so placed his foot on another of the
rails, thus completing the circuit. He
stepped quickly over unframed.
whereas his companion expected to
see him a corpse, as about $4,000 volts
of electricity were speeding through
the wires at the time. A lady who
CHANGED to be passing by on hearing
the alarm and in expectation of witt
Messing a tragedy fell in swoon. The
sturdy young westerner, who had
never seen the tracks of a third-rail
train before, did not know what all
the excitement was about, and on be-
ing told of what he had done his blood
began to run cold and he said that
he never experienced such strange
sensation as came over him at That
moment. He also stated that he did
not feel the slightest electrical shocs
while on he tracks. The explanation
of his almost miraculous escape was
in the fact that he had pair OF cork
soles underneath the leather soles on
his shoes, and these proved to be sur
ficiently powerful as nonconductors to
save him from the effects of the dead
ly current. He realizes that those are
the most valuable pair of shoes he
ever owned, or hopes to own, and no
doubt will keep them as an heirloom
in his family and pass them down to
his posterity. On investigation 1t was
found that the leather sole was burned
where it came in contact with the live
rail. The young man says that there
are no third-rail cars or trains in the
west and that. therefore, while he had
read of such things in the newspapers
the fact had never made serious I'M
preston on his mind before. He Is
not apt to forget this experience, how
ever. The young man was in town
here recently and gave the facts sub
stantially as stated to representa-
tive of the News.

New York, Oct. Orchard Croks

vice begun by Bishop Potter and other
clergymen. The Tammany chief said
IF 1t is true that any clergyman, in
seeking to have evildoers punished,
has suffered discourtesy from the po-
lice the offender should be disciplined
without delay. No man is more desir-
GUS than myself that this great city
should be morally pure and that
young men and women should be pro-
tected against contamination"

Nine. WI. wife of the Chinese min
ister. is of lively temperament and
quick to respond to either humor or
sentiment She has become warmly
attached to several American women.
The Chinese minister is an accom-
plished linguist, but his wife is not so
clever in this respect. She speaks
just little English. enough to meet
the ordinary exigencies of formal re-
ceptions. Her accent is considered
charming. and she hopes in another
year to have added considerably to her
English vocabulary. She can carry on
a more sustained conversation In
French than in English. In her own
tongue she is fluent conversational
list. and keeps herself well informed
on all the topics Of the times.

SUN VS.. SEA.
The New Hygienic Treatment Ia . Ho
Sun Bath.

The New Hygienic Treatment Il Hot
Doubtless those who understand the
affair are convinced this is the right
time to bring before the public the
new hygienic treatment by means OF
sun baths, but in hot weather 1t is
brave person who will stop to consider
the question when water Is available.
Scarcely any one would give up sea
or lake bath for sun bath when the
thermometer is dallying in the 90s.
However. we are told, we shall yet
come to regard the idea with favor.
Sea and lake bathing is a modern in
stitution, comparatively speaking. A
wholesale exodus to the sea or lake
shore is rather new and whereas now
everybody with a dollar to his name
flies in vacation time to some such re-
sort century ago not l per cent Of
the population would have dreamed of
sending whole families away to the re-
sorts. as is now done. AS, therefore.
we have come to regard the sea and
lake essential, II is said in time we
will come to consider the sun bath ne
cessary, though how 1t is tc be popu-
larized is the question. In the first
place, it is cheap and will be common.
for everybody can have 1t without NOV
ing away from home. Speculative
builders and hotel keepers will not
like it. for 1t will be fad doing them
no good. One advantage sun bathing
will have is that people need not make
themselves hideous in order to enjoy
it. Girls will not have to hide their
pretty curls under caps and so trans
form themselves into monstrosities.
Gowns can be worn that water would
not permit and altogether the idea may
become the fashion in time.
