One hundred years ago a man could not
take a ride in a steamboat.
He could not go from Washington to
New Y ork in few hours.
He had never seen an electric light or
dreamed of an electric car
He could not send a telegram.
He couldn't talk through the telephone,
and he had never heard of the hello girl.
He could not ride bicycle.
He could not call in a stenographer and
dictate a letter.
He had never received a typewriter
communication.
He had never heard of the germ theory
or worried over bacilli and bacteria.
He never looked pleasant before pho
tographer or had his picture taken.
He never heard a photograph talk or
saw kaleidoscope turn out a prize fight
He never saw through a Websters I'm

Roentgen ray.
He had never taken a ride in an ele-
vator.
He had never imagined such thing as

He had never used anything but a
wooden plough
He had never seen his wife using a sew

He had never struck a match on his

He couldn't take an anaesthetic and
have his leg cut off without feeling it.
He had never purchased 10-cent mag

a miracle of art.
He could not buy paper for cent and
learn everything that had happened the
day before all over the world.
He had never seen a Mccormack reap
er or a self-binding harvester.
He had never crossed an iron bridge.
In short, there were several things that
he could not do and several things he
did not know.

Easton, Md, Dec 29.-The most re-
markabie story of suspended animation on
record comes from Easton, where Well
maker John H. K. Shannahan is boring
wells for the Eastern Water Company.
From a depth of 1873 feet a ball Of clay
was brought to the surface, which, when
exposed to the sun showed signs of life,
and proved to be a. live and somewhat
ferocious lobster, its legs and claws grad
ually uncoiling.

ley.
Several sharks teeth were dug up at the
same time, and Mr.. Shannahan has I'M
earthed many strange things from the pc
ninsula which is of alluvial formation.
While such men as Prof. w. R. Brooks
of Johns Hopkins have hesitated as yet
to express opinion as to this discovery.
the stra tlfrn in which it was found having
been, before the glacial period, the sea
floor, it is surmised that this lobster was
caught mapping with thousands of others
when the glaciers swept down and depos-
tied the bed of rock which must now be
drilled through to get artesian water.
This having occurred 100000 years ago,
according to biologists, it would mean
that the lobster had been practically dead
all these Years.
1t is possible that Mr. Shannahan may
find other specimens.

FOR BEATING HIS HORSE.

Escaped Punishment.

Cabman Named schroeder, However,
Escaped Punishment.
William Schroeder, a white hackman,
was arrested early yesterday morning and
sent to the police station house on a
charge of cruelty to animals. Schroeder
was whipping his horse in front of Supt
Screven's residence on Jones street, and
it was in answer to a telephone message
to headquarters that Patrolman Frank
Smith made the arrest. When the case
was called in police court the cabman
was remanded for trial before Judge Nor
wood in the City Court
The case came up in the higher court
later in the day and Schroeder was dis
missed.
Schroeder is the man who was arrested
several months ago for the larceny of
brass and other metal from the Plant
System Railroad, where he was employed.
He was convicted of a misdemeanor and
was fined. A dispute arose over some of
the property in question, and there is a
suit on in the courts now over the matter
A large portion of the brass taken from
Schroder's place by officer Godbold is
claimed by him, while the railway people
say that it belongs to them. The property
in dispute is held at the police station
house until Judge Falligant hears the bill
of peace.

view of building on to Savannah later.
1t is thought by those who have kept
posted in the matter that the managers
of this road are working for a route from
birmingham to Savannah, which would
be shorter than any other line and the
fact that underground rails are being
used and the tracks are to be well-ballast-
