SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE
ELECTRIC LIGHT WORKS.
1t Caused the Scattering of Costly Ma
terial. But the Damage Will Be Re-
paired in this City

Quite a serious breakdown of the
machinery of the International Light
company's plant occurred Saturday af-
ternoon that will require several days
to repair.
Fortunately no one was injured by
the accident.
A bolt on the crank pin of the ell
CINE broke, which caused the box IL
separate, thus throwing the piston
back against the cylinder head. This
resulted in the breaking of the back
head, throwing it against the wall. No
damage was done except the loosenius
of the other two heads to the engine.
All the oil guards. housing and all the
smaller parts were destroyed. A piece
of the housing flew across the street
and went through an open window tuI
did not injure anyone.

Markings on Mars.

Astronomers now agree that the
markings on the surface Of Mars form
a complete network of narrow, straight
lines crossing the entire face Of the
planet in all directions, and are always
visible. The narrowest are thirty to
forty miles wide. Two hundred OF
these so-called canals have been
charted Many observers believe them
to be stretches of land darkened an
nually by vegetation and laid out in
strips to facilitate irrigation. It is
supposed from the unity in the design
of the network that the inhabitants
of Mars are under one government and
are highly skilled in the engineering
demanded by the fact that the planet
is entirely without rainfall. Students
in hydraulics expect great things from
the continued study of Mars.

was only in 1920 that, in one of his
savage attacks on our people, in the
Edinburgh Review, he sneeringly ask

What does the world yet owe to Ameri

of America? What have they done in
the mathematics? Who drinks out of
American glasses? Or eats from Am
erican plates? Or wears American
coats or gowns? Or sleeps in Ameri-
can blankets?' The records of the
nineteenth century show that these
questions have been answered pretty
conclusively to the British mind, if not
always satisfactorily to the British
pocket, remarks the Washington Star.

CADETS GET ASPHALT JOBS.
Dismissed West Point Cadets Fall Into
Easy Berths. ...


Washington, May 24.-The five West
Point cadets dismissed from West
Point-Bowlby, Cleveland, Keller, Lin
ton and Maha1fey-will not appeal
for clemency to the war department..
They have entered the service of the
New York and Bermuedez Asphalt
company. This came about through
General Francis A. Greene, one of
the chief officials of the trust. He
communicated with the war depart
ment and informed Secretary Root
that the five soung men had called
upon him in a contrite and repentent
state of mind asking for his advice
and assistance in shaping their fu-
ture. They stated that no turpitude
was involved in anything that was
charged against them, and General
Greene apparently was Of the same
/rinion, for, after hearing their
story, he proposed to Secretary Root
to employ the young men in the SER
vice of the asphalt company. Score
tary Root promptly responded that
the war department had no objection,
and that it was true there was no
charge touching the integrity Of the
boys, but only a technical violation OF
discipline SO one of the young men
will go Immediately to Venezuela,
General Greene having taken them
into his service. and the others will
be disposed of according to the ens1-
neering needs of the company.

GEAR EATS CHILDREN.
Horrible Fate Of Two Brothers and .
Sister In West Virginia.


Pittsburg. Pa, May ga Job CIV.
ya.) special says To be crushed to
death in the embrace of monstrous
black bear and their little bodies after
ward mangled and partly devoured
was the frightful fate that befell the.
three young children of f. P. Porter
field, a mountaineer residing about
twelve miles southeast of this place.
The remains We're found yesterday by
u searching party, which had been
out since Sunday evening. The party
included John Weldon, a Maryland
hunter, who. within few minutes
after the discovery Of the bodies, shot
and killed the bear in neighboring
thicket.
The children were Mary, aged 3:
Willie, aged 5, and Henry, aged Z.
Shortly after noon Sunday they left
home to gather flowers in clearing
near their home. Nothing more is
known. but it is supposed that they
wandered into the woods, and becom-
ing lost, continued on their way until
they were overtaken by the bear in
the dense forest three miles from their
parents home.
All of the bodies were eaten. The
bones of the children had been crush
ed like straws, and the flesh stripped
off with teeth and claws to make q
feast for the bear The party divided
and began a search. Within few
