Riding the Wooden Horse.

Torture ON grand scale went out
with FELTON,, the assassin of Bucklng-
ham, but torture on small scale con-
tinued to be practiced on military Of
tenders down to the eighteenth CEN
fury. The form most frequently resort
ed to was that known as the wooden
horse, to ride which was the punish
ment accorded for petty thefts, in
subordination and SO on. The wooden
horse was made Of planks nailed to-
gether so as to form sharp ridge or
angle about eight or nine feet long.
This ridge represented the back Of the
horse and was supported by four posts
or legs about five feet high placed on
a stand made movable by truckles. To
complete the resemblance to the no.
blest animal in creation head and
tail were added.
When soldier was sentenced, either
by court martial or by his commanding
officer, to ride the horse, he was placed
on the brutes back, with his hands tied
behind him, and frequently enough, in
order to increase the pain, muskets
We're fastened to his legs to weigh
them down or. as was jocularly said,
to prevent the fiery, untamed, bare
backed steed from kicking him off,

About OzOn

Many people talk about ozone with
but SO much as, knowing what ozone is.
There is a prt vaicrt idea that it is
something you get at the sea and that
it is good for the lungs. What that
something is, however, few people have
sufficient curiosity to inquire. Ozone is
what chemists cali an allotropic form
Of oxygen-that is to say, it is oxygen
n highly active and concentrated con-
dition. In ordinary pure air ozone eX-
lists, but only in what chemists call
traces Larger amounts are found in
ocean and mountain air. 1t instantly
disappears when brought in contact
with decayng matter, dissipating it.
self, as it were, in the act of oNidizing
that matter.
Ozone is known to occur more plenti-
fully during thunderstorms, and we
have, Of course, the analogy of its be-
ing artificially produced from oxygen
by electrical discharges in the labora-
tory. On the body ozone Is believed to
act as a stimulant; hence the popular
notion Of it's beneficial effects as expe-
rienced by the sea, but in any greater
amount than mere traces 1t Is violent
irritant. One authority goes the length
of asserting that 1t Is doubtful whether
it is beneficial to animal life at all.

why Water Won't Fry.

Why cannot we fry in water? Be
cause water can only be heated to the
boiling point, PIP degrees, and any adj
ditional heat does not increase its tenn
perature. Two hundred and twelve de-
grees Of heat will not brown the sur
face Of anything. Fat, on the contrary,
can be made much hotter, the tempera-
ture depending Oh the kind. There Is a
lesson here for the economical house,
wife. Don't stuff the stove with fuel
when the vegetables, meat, etc., are
already boiling. They cook no faster
because of the increase of heat.

Old Timers State That Streets Have
 Been Encroached Upon Also.

Been Encroached Upon Also.
 For several yen..- past much has been said at city meeting regarding the adyisabiljty Of taking steps to pre- vent people fro-: ericroaehing on the bed of the Naugatt'cis river between West Main street and Bank street, an1 Mad rIver from Dublin street to Silver street, but nothing definite was done on the premises until the present week when the board of public works re- commended to the aldermen that they be authorized to report a layout for the rivers between these points. The abutting property owners have kept filling in the rivers at different points until things have now become alarming at more than one place and no time should be lost in putting q stop to the business. A few years hence when 1t will be absolutely necessary to widen the beds of these streams people will be claiming large damages for land that never belonged to them. This is what is being done right along by own CTS of land abutting the roads on the outskirts of the city. They removed all the old landmarks and then crowd ed into the streets until the roadways got so narrow that two teams could not pass through them and when grades and layouts were established there was a big howl because some people had to move in without getting anything for the land they claimed to be losing, but which really they nev- CT owned. Some of the old-timers state that they remember when Pine street must have been at least sixty feet wide, but the people on both sides kept on the move until they came mighty near blocking the street alto gether and now they are up in arms oy- CT a grade and layout which, accord ing to some of the property owners who have been heard on the question, does not call for as wide street by several feet as it was forty years ago. A similar shout will be heard when the city starts out to establish boundry lines for the rivers. Many have all ready encroached on them and or course they will not want to get out of the way without receiving com pensation.

 Before Judge Burpee in the city court to-day John Shugrue was charged with asaulting his first cousin Frank Shugrue yesterday.

 John Higginson and Luke Erico respectively 15 years old, were charged with theft of a quantity Of metal from the factory of Matthews & Willard on April H. A workman named Walsh stated that he saw Higginson throw a chunk out of a window to a neigh boring yard yesterday and informed his foreman. Higginson was employed in the factory. An investigation re- suited in disclosing a system of steal ing from the factory. The boys admit ted on the stand that they used to con eeal a chunk, such as metal spinners and burnishers use, in their caps and then in apparent fun throw the caps in a neighboring yard. After work they would get the caps and sell the metal to Samuel and Yetta Markel who live at 100 North Elm street. Higgin- son was the leader. The chunks weighed about ten pounds each and were worth from. $S to $10 each. They got from Mrs Market about ST which they divided between them. The boys were firm in their testimony and stated that Mrs AIarkel told them that if they were caught Judge Lowe would get them of. This was news to the judge who defended one of the boys and both of the Markels. When the Markels were put on the stand there was some fun Their son whose given name is William and is known in the prize ring as William Lee came near getting him. self into trouble. He was repeatedly warned to cease prompting his parents to pretend they knew not the language of the country, but they could speak it well enough to be understood, which discovery caused some laughter. Sam uel Market was discharged and his wife was fined s and costs on eight counts, seven being added to the original one, fl1e boys having stated that they made eight visits to her with stolen goods. She took an appeal. The boys were committed to the state school for boys.
 The case against Henry and Ettie Kaufman of North Elm street for ob- taining goods under false pretenses was adjourned to Monday, the com plainant not being in court.

The Law Compels This Road to Re
 duce It's Fares.
 Detroit, May 16.--A special to the Tribune frcm Lansing says:
 Beginning next Monday the pas senger fare on the Wabash line in Michigan will be only two cents per mile. This is the result of the increased earn ings of the company which brings it within the above classification. The company contended that the rallroad commissioner was in error in including in it's earnings certain items, but the supreme court sustained the action of the commissioner. This was in re- gard to the computation of last year which resulted in the con1missioner di- recting the company to reduce it's fare to 211s cents per mile. The same ques- tion was involved this year when the earnings called for the two cent rate. and the company has notified Commits sioner Osborn that it will make the re duction next Monday.
