Awful Discovery Of the

Cambridge Nd, April e7-A most

A German family. consisting Of Carl
Kernig, his wife and SOD, wero discovered
dead in their little farm hou'e, each corpse
having II moose about tho Nook StranSu.
lation was probably the cause of death In
each case.
Neighbors claim terrible murder has
been committed, but the authorities say it

drew 5000 from the bank, The money is
missing
John A. Tschantre q jsweler of this
ci y, who owns the farm tenanted by the
Kernig faulty, visited tho place to-day.
Finding everything quiet he entered no
house and was shocked to discover tho
body Of Mrs Kernig tied with u rope to
door knob. The son, Carl, was suspended
from bed post in tho same room, his
body resting upon the floor, while his head
was held tightly In moose. In an aajon-
ing room the body Of the elder Carl ker-
mig was found hanging from hook.
Mr. TshaDrre sent message to Cam

and drew $500 from bank. No trace Of
this money could b. found yesterday, and
the authorities are Of the opinion that it
was sent West to relatives.
"a small sum Of money was found In
purse in the pocket Of Mrs. Kernig.
Many persons who saw the bodies this
afternoon are of the opinion that foul
murder had been committed, but the au-
thoritios think 1t suicide. They point to
the statement Of the neigbbnrs 10 the

A stomach AgitNtOP.

"All that has been written of the phys.
ical beauty of Japan" said a traveller, lis
really inadequate. Language simply fails
to tell you what really is there in the way
of scenery. You must actually visit the
country to appreciate It. But while Jap
anese life, Japanese houses and japanese
scenery are replete with interest and
beauty japanese food is an abomination
to the civilized stomach and as such to be
absolutely eschewed.
Take the raw fish, for instance, they
serve. The first time tasted it l was
forcibly reminded Of the man who in
vented the 'hapjack' which when cooked
on one side automatically turned over and
cooked the other side as well. The
scheme worked out to perfection, and
fortune seemed to loom large in the near
future for the inventor, when drawback
to the scheme was discovered. The flap
jack once swallowed kept on turning.
That's what happens when you eat the
raw fish Of Japan. New York Tribune.

A BOTTOMLESS PIT.
One Of the CuriOsitfes of the Majestic
Palisades.

Hundreds of thousands of New Workers.
gaze at the Palisades, on the New Jersey
side of the Hudson, every day, but not
one in 10000 knows there is over there a
bottomlcss pit, as great q curiosity in its
way as is the caldron in the Devils lake
region of California. 1t is situated in
West New York, about three miles north
of Hoboken, on the summit of the Pail
sadcs. At this point the top of the ridge
is 227 feet above the level of the Hudson
river at its base.
This pit apparently ends in water
which rises and falls with the tides in the
Hudson, but the attempts Of the authori-
ties as well as Of private individuals to
fill it up have proved futile. 1t is still
there, and the trees, rock and earth that
have been dumped into 1t have disappear
ed as il into the bowels of the earth.
Soundings have been made, but no stable
bottom has been found.
The West New York authorities sever.
al years ago thought they had succeeded
in finding a bottom. They had thrown
into the water large quantity of tree
tops and upon these had heaped pile OF
stone. This sank to certain depth and
then appeared to be stationary. On top
of this were deposited hundreds Of cart
loads Of earth, with logs crosswise, thus
making a roadway over which trucks and
vehicles passed.
The next morning, however, there
wasn't trace of the filling. The water
at the bottom Of the pit was as clear as
before. The surface of the lake covers
about half an acre, but there has never
been fish hauled from its depths.
1t stood in the way Of the West Shore
railroad when it was about to be built in
1880. The road intended to run its tun-
mel from the Weehawken terminal to the
opposite side of the Palisades at New
Durham, directly over this pit, but after
the right of way had been bought the
company had to abandon the route and go
about 1000 feet to the south.-New York

A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.

was past his usual time for getting home,

parlor commenting upon his hardness,
for he was usually the most punctual Of
men.

haps the sixth or seventh time and had

5 o'clock my hostess gave slight gasp
and sat rigid in her chair Every muscle
seemed to be tense, and she gave the ap
pearance of one laboring under the
strongest shock For the space Of per.
haps second she remained in this con.
dtion and then suddenly grew limp and
helpless as if some strain under which
she had been laboring had been removed.
Almost Immediately she revived and
looked around with questioning air.
When say that all this occupied not
more than two or three seconds at the
most, you will realize how queer it all
was.

ccived a terrible electric shock. l knew
the sensation because my husband has
small battery in the house and often
gives me electricity for nervousness
AT that moment the telephone bell
rang, and answered it. The message
was that my friend had taken hold of the
wrong lever at the switchboard that dis
tributed the current from his dynamo and
that the surgeons at a nearby hospital
hoped to save his life. l asked when it oc.
