SELECTING NOTABLES.
Judges Hard at Work in Connection
with Hall of Fame.
Trying to Decide who Are worth n
Place of Honor - Their Task
Not np Easy
One.

Names of distinguished men or wom-
en- whose admirers are anxious to Sc
cure niche for them in the Pantheon,
on Hall of Fame, are still coming in,
and the list now includes close to 5000
names.
The senate of the New York uni
versity, to whom the names are sent
from all over the country, has just sub
mitted to each of the judges list of 25i
names. Others are accumulating for
disposition later.
The work of the judges is no sinecure,
for they are expected to select just 100
who shall occupy the places of honor.
OF the thousands of names sent in dur.
ing the past few months 100 were
culled by the senate as a whole, and a
second 100 names were submitted by
private individuals of note and second
ed by members of the senate. Each OF
the other "a names was submitted by
one or more of the judges, they having
been invited to contribute their choice.
John S. Billings, one of the resident
judges, said in an interview:
Not much is expected to be done in
that direction until about the middle
of September, when the work of the
Judges and all those directly interested
in this great undertaking will be
pushed with vigor. i have not even
looked at the revised list of names as
yet, and am not prepared to make any
comment one way or another upon the
new names to be added to the original
list"
The final vote is expected to be sub.
mitted by the committee of judges dur
ing the first week in October, in fact, by
October l. sothat the month of Septem-
ber must necessarily be busy one for
those chosen to make this initial Sc
lection.
1t is not yet settled whether there
shall be a meeting of all the judges.
who represent every section of The
country. but it is generally believed
that such meeting will be held before
the fnaI vote is taken.
The names thus far submitted to the
judges are divided into Is classes: Au-
thors and editors, % names; business,
men, 6; educators, Is; inventors, 16;
missionaries and explorers. 21; philan-
thropists. 8; preachers and theolo-
gians, %; scientists. 10; engineers and

pLUcKY GIRL WINS GOLD.
She Climbs TO the Top Of Chimney
12B Feet High to Gain
n Prize.

Miss Darda Polica, one of the pret-
tiest girls of South Brewer. Me-,
climbed to the top of an iron chimney,
1876 feet from the ground, took seat
on its iron rim and calmly surveyed
several hundred people below who had
watched her feat.
The Eastern Manufacturing com
pany erected the chimney several
weeks ago and offered five dollars in
gold to any person who would climb
the little iron ladder that ran up its
side, which was hardly wide enough
to place two feet on one rung at the
same time. None of the men in town
dared to try the climb. but Miss Pol
ica declared it was easy. and after
donning short skirt. she set out to
make the ascent. 1t was noised about
town that she was going to try for
the gold piece. and several hundred
men gathered to watch her.
She made the ascent as lightly as n
sailor, and when sheN descended ac-
cepted the five dollars amid the cheers
of the assembled men.

KEEPS AIR PURE FOR HOURS.
Invention of French Chemists Proven
Successful in II Test by n
New York Man.

DR.. z. r. Smith. who is known as an
expert physiological chemist, has just
finished an experiment which may have
an important bearing on submarine
navigation and all trades. and occupa-
tions to which impure air is a draw
back.
The experiment was prompted by a
cablegram announcing that two French
chemists, NM. Desgrez and Balthazard, ;,
had constructed Divers helmet of
aluminium which had lining of bioX-
the remarkable properties of that
chemical, would enable its wearer TO
move and work for two hours in other
wise unbearable surroundings.
DIR. Smith proposed to test the truth
of the report. He took two large bell
jars, and in each placed a healthy
Guinea pig. One of the jars also con-
tanned some simple apparatus for the
composition of the chemical, but the
other contained nothing but the little
animal. These jars were then sealed
and the Guinea pigs were left each to
exhaust the air in its cryst al chamber.
The pig which had the benefit of the
chemical was as unconcerned as though
it were sitting in the midst of some
country meadow. whereas its brother
animal, which did not have the benefit
of the chemical, soon began to show
signs of exhaustion. Its breathing be-
came babored and rapid, and it soon
reached the convulsion stage, and
would have died of asphyxia had it not
been removed from the jar.
The Importance of the discovery can
hardly be overestimated. In caissons.
in coal mines, in factories, in certain
of the manufacturing arts, in diving
bells, in submarine boats, in the bowels
of vessels, where the ventilation is not
good, the air conditions are bad, due to
the -apidity with which the oxygen OF
the atmosphere is absorbed by the liv-
ing tissue and to the accumulation OF
carbonic acid gas thrown off by the
process of respiration.

SEE A SEA MONSTER.
Visitors to Michigan Resort Tel la
Hair-Raising Tale.
Attacked by Hideous Sen Serpent
and Barely Escnpe-Had nuIGing
Eyes, Large Mouth and
NiciOus-LOOkinE Teeth.

hair-raising sleep-destroying sea
serpent story has spread terror among
the visitors at Allendale on Gull lake,
near Kalamazoo, Mich. Bathers no
longer go into the water and boating
parties venture out only when heavily
armed. The marine monster was dis
covered by Harry Kemper and Miss
Carrie Wirthin, of Cincinnati, who
were out fishing just before dusk.
Mr.. Kemper describes the serpent
as having short, thick forelegs and a
head as large as that of a calf, with
bulging eyes, large mouth and vicious
looking teeth. On it's forehead was a
thick growth of a hairy-ike substance
and its body was covered with scales
that gave forth phosphorescent
glow in the twilight. Kemper says
the thing had face almost human in
its expression and that it reminded
him more than anything else of pic
lures he had seen of Aguinaldo.
Mr. Kemper and his companion say
their suspicious were first aroused
when they lost half dozen spoon
hooks and lines. then lneir minnow
pail, trailing behind in the water.
Noticing the water strangely agitated
near by, Mr.. Kemper started to row to
shore. He says something grabbed
one of his oars and the blade came up
with a piece torn out. Then he says
there appeared above the water a
hideous head that swayed from side TO
side and emitted Kissing sound.
Some 20 or 25 feet away the tip of the
reptiles tail could be seen lashing the
water to foam. Kemper rowed for his
life toward shore, with his companion
in state of collapse, with the mon
ster pursuing them. When about 20
rods from shore he beat it off with
his oar and in doing so capsized the
boat. The couple were rescued by q
passing launch.
Kemper came to Kalamazoo and
purchased a large quantity of dyna'
mite, which he is going to explode or
the spot where the monster disap
peared. In 1898 a strange water non
descript was said to have appeared
at Gull lake and killed calves, sheer
and fowls along the shores.

LEFT CHRoNoMETER BEHIND.
Port without This Valuable In
strument and Has to Put BACK.

Much surprise was caused at New
York quarantine the other afternoon
when the British steamer Granada,
which had passed out few hours be-
fore, was seen coming in flying the
signal: II have no chronometer." Capt.
Marchison, of the Granada, which was
bound for the West Indian island of
that name, had sent his chronometer
ashore to be regulated, with orders to
deliver it on board at a certain hour.
The ship left half an hour ahead of
time. and when a messenger with the
chronometer reached the pier it was
many miles away. 1t was not until he
was away beyond the Hook that the
captain discovered he had no chronom-
eter. He Immediately put back. The
missing chronometer was sent to the
ship, which again put to sea. The mis-
take cost the captain one outbound
and one inbound pilot fee, amounting
to 5000.

FLYTRAp CAUSED A FURRY.
It interrupted the Martial Felicity
of MIR. and Mrs. Smith of
wilIxesbnrre, Pa.

Mrs. Armand Smith. of Wilkesbarre,
Pa, accused her husband of trying to
kill her, His explanation is that he was
merely trying to kesp the flies off his
bald head and sleep peacefully.
The two were camping in a tent
along the shores of Lake Winola. and
Monday night, after the rain, Smith
was greatly bothered by the flies,
which found his bald head special at
traction. Unable to stand it any longer.
he got up in the middle of the night
and spread a cupful of molasses on a
palm-leaf fan and placed ii near his
head. Then the flies, being distracted
by a sweeter morsel, he slept soundly.
Mrs. Smith rolled over in her sleep
some time later and then sprang from
the bed, fighting some horrible thing
that clung to her face and tried to
smother her, while frightful buzzing
filed her with terror. In the dark
ness and confusion she imagined all
sorts of things, and chiefly that her
husband was trying to murder her. He
rushed to her assistance and pulled the
fan. the half-dead flies and the molas-
ses from her face.
Then he tried to explain. but she
would not listen. and left him bemoan-
ing the fact that he had lost his hair.
The next day she had him arrested and
taken before Alderman Donahue, and
the whole horrible and amusing story
was told. The alderman advised them
to go home and talk it over, and if they
did not feel better at the end of a week
to return to him.
