ARE AFRAID OF MIRRORS.
Most Wild Animals Take Fright at
Their Own Reflections.

A glance at himself In a mirror yes
terday frightened Big Ben, the zoos
largest lion, 80 badly, says the Phlla-
delphla Press, that the keepers In
charge feared he would do violence to
himself. He was In an angry mood all
day and paced restlessly up and down
his cage, stopping Mt the bars and ray
Ing at every chance passerby.
The antics of small boy particular
ly excited his Ire and he ragged and
stormed as only Il big lion can. The
lad enjoyed the performance and walt
ed until Ben had finished his TRADE,
and then drew hand mirror from un-
der his coat and held 1t directly In
front Of Ben.
The lion looked over and then jumped
for the intruder that dared face him
in such fashion, but brought UP
against the bars with force enough to
throw him to the floor. Surprised at
the appearance Of the invader, he filled
the house with his roars. The keepers
ran to the cage and endeavored to quiet
him, but he continued the uproar until
exhausted.
In the meantime the adventurous
youth had disappeared and was dis
covered In front of the wolves cage
trying to excite them In the same way
He was led from the garden and warn
ed to keep away.
About year ago a serious disturb
ance at the zoo was due to the flashing
of a mirror in front of the lions den
At that time the lions, with the excep-
tion of one or two of the widest, were
kept in one cage. A visitor held mir.
ror In front of them one afternoon and
the beasts were thrown into panic
They fought and dashed at the bars
with such violence that it was feared
several would die as result Of their
frantic struggles. 1t required the com
bined efforts Of all the keepers for sew
eral hours before they could be quieted

Best Legs in the World.

The most lifelike and seryiceable ar
tifcial legs in the world are manufac-
tured In America. Enormous quanti-
ties of these limbs are shipped to Eu-
rope every year.
The first great boom In the artificial
leg business was brought about by the
civil war. Since that time railroad and
ever increasing demand. Another fac
tor has been the general use of anti
septics. The mortality among those
who have their legs amputated Is far
less than formerly and large proper
ton Of the survivors become patrons
of the wooden-leg factories.
The old-fashioned peg-leg is practic-
ally a thing of the past. The modern
artificial leg shows a great advance
over the old forms. Every improve
ment has been with the idea of greater
simplicity.
The main object of the manufacture
ers Is to improve the fit of the legs.
The best models now cost $780, II
costs from So to $50 year to keep one
of these in order.
Few women wear artificial legs. On
the other hand, 1t is becoming more
common to fit limbs to children. Legs
are made for children sometimes be
fore they can walk. They are fitted as
soon rs the child learns to stand and
make 1t possible for 1t to develop sym
metrically.

AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
The Effort of a Plumber TO Evade
the Regulations.
Inspector Ball Reports n Fragrant
Case of Bad Work-The Encroach-
ment of n Fence on Public Space
The Cancellation of Old Taxes.

Charles B. Ball, Inspector Of Plumbing,
has called the attention of the Engineer
Commissioner to what he states was a de-
liberate attempt on the part of a jour
neyman plumber to deceive an inspector
of his Office. Mr.. Ball states that the
regulations require that every 1iz-inch
vent pipe shall be increased to two inches
below the roof. He states that such a
pipe in the case referred to was run
through the roof without increasing the
size thereof. and that a piece of two-inch
pipe was slipped over the work to make
1t appear as having been done properly.
Mr.. Ball states that the inspector dis
covered the fault and that there was no
connection made between the two pipes.
Mr.. Ball further states that the matter
was called to the attention of the master
plumber in charge OF the work, and a
letter from the master plumber is sub
mitted. Mr.. Bail states that 1t is his be-
lief that q deliberate attempt was made
to deceive his inspector and he suggests
that a plumber who will do this ought to
be dealt with by the Commissioners. He
asks that he be at least warned that an
other established attempt of the kind will
be visited with the revocation of his
license as a master plumber.
The master plumber referred 10 states
that when the matter was called to his
attention he ordered the work Immediate
ly changed and severely reprimanded the
iourneyman plumber who had done the
job.
The report of the Inspector of Plumb
ing has been approved by the Commits
sioners and in accordance herewith the
master plumber complained Of Will be in
formed.

PHILADELPHIA, April 16.-The Phila-
delphia American League team easily
defeated Georgetown University's ag
gregation of ball tossers here today.
Handy stick work was what brought vic
tory to the professionals. Mckay was in
the box for the collegians in the early
part of the game. The Athletics, how
ever. treated his Blenders roughly and
made seven runs in the first two innings.
Cox was substituted for Mckay later in
the game, after which the Blue and Grey
rallied and played better ball. By dint
of good hitting in the fourth inning they
sent four runners over the plate, and
later added two points more to their total
score. The game was called at the end
of the eigth. Score by innings:

Jesse II. Wilson. attorney for T. O'Con-
nor, has written the Commissioners in re-
ply TO their letter enclosing the opinion of
the Attorney for the District relative to
certain alleys In square 124i. Mr.. Wilson
renews his protest against any change of
the location of stable or the grade of the
alley.
In reporting upon the matter c. B.
Hunt, the Computing Engineer has sug-
gested that Mr.. Wilson be asked to sub
NIT sufficient evidence in the way of affl-
davits to satisfy his Office of the en-
croachments referred to for a period of
twenty years or more. In that event Mr..
Wilson thinks that under authority of
the opinion submitted by the Attorney
the Commissioners may be justified in
Withdrawing the notices that have been
issued relative to the removal of the sta
BILE. AS to the change of the grade to
properly pave the alley, Mr.. Hunt thinks
that it would not be affected by the fall
ure to remove the stable.

UNION CARBIDE WORKS.
Location at the 500 Finally Set

the Country.

The location of the Union Carbide
works in Sault Ste. Marie, which
has been a matter Of conjecture for
some time, was definitely made
known Saturday last, contract for
the erection of the factory having
been let. The plant will be the
largest in the country, taking 10000
horse power from Clergue's water
power reservoir. The works will
be located on the river front east ol
the power house. Construction will
commence early in the spring. II
has been announced that the chem
ical works, recently destroyed by
fire at the Canadian Sault, will be
rebuilt with o much larger capacity.
Work will be commenced at once.
1t is generally conceded about the
peninsula that the decrease Of lum-

DANGER Is IMMINENT.
Smallpox has Developed In Sew.
eral UP. Counties.

Baraga county has so far this sea
son fortunately escaped visitation
OF the dread smallpox disease, but
it has gained a foothold in at least
half d dozen counties in the upper
peninsula. In Houghton county
there has been quite an extensive
outbreak, notably at Swedetown, a
mining location at Calumet.
President Wells, of the state
board of health some days since
made the prediction that Michigan
will this winter experience the
greatest epidemic of smallpox in
its history.
A favorable feature of the situa-
tion, however, is the fact that in
practically every instance the pat
tents are afflicted with a mild form
OF the contagion, but as the lumber
operations become more active as
the freezing weather grows on,
there is danger in-the disease not
only becoming widespread, but of a
more virulent type as we'll. Lum-
ber camps are prolific source for
the outbreak of smallpox and should
be carefully watched.
Prompt action of the boards OF
health, backed loyalty by the proper
officials, will undoubtedly save the
county considerable money to say
nothing of the inconvience and
damage that may be sustained by
the business interests in the event
OF an outbreak.

Jumping. BY wOODsMEN
Logging Contractors Are Com.
bining to Prevent This.

logging contractors have com
bined to prevent the practice OF
dumping by workmen who agree
TO 90 to work in the lumber camps
on the condition that their fare is
paid to the camp. Frequently men
accept the offer for the sole purpose
OF getting the free ride, jumping as
soon as camp is reached. The lum-
bermen are causing the arrest OF
these Jumpers for obtaining mon
ey under false pretense. Workmen
should beware what agreements
they enter into.

Wholesale Shipments of Deer.

Large numbers of deer that were
held up at upper peninsula points
since Sunday were shipped Wednes-
day by direction of State GameWar-
den Morse, who issued instructions to
the express companies to receive
for shipment all deer having the
proper license tag attached thereto
All shipments Of deer should have
reached their destination by Thurs
day.
The decision of the game warden
to extend the time for shipping
was no doubt prompted by kilograms
and the howls Of hunters having
deer to ship all over the peninsula
