Awakened from his sleep by the
maddened beast, DR.. Robert j. Kings
ton had a terrific encounter lasting for
more than an hour, at his home in
Newburg, N. Y, with Bruno, his st.
Bernard dog, weighing more than 200
pounds. He overcame the brute, chok-
ing him to death. but at no light cost.
DR.. Kingston had reared the dog
from puppy 1t was left at home at
night to protect the household when
professional business called the head
Of the family away. He was out one
aight on a case and in the morning was
resting, and the children were playing
with the dog.
Suddenly the animal was seized with
convulsions, and. running out of the
dining room, ascended to the bed
chamber of the doctor, sprang on the
sleeping physician, and the fight for
life followed. DR.. Kingston realized
Fthat the animal was wholly uncontrol-
liable, and that there was grave danger
for other members of the family if it

The pan1er { rom Flies.

A buu1ber of investigators recently
have called attention to the important
role played by insects in disseminating
disease. Because of their great num-
bers and active habits, flies are no
doubt the most dangerous insects IN
this respect. After feeding on the
eXpectoration of the tuberculous, on
the feces of typhoid patients or other
infective material they carry disease
germs into innumerable places and de-
post them not only by direct con-
tact with their filthy little bodies,
but by their eXcreta and the dust
formed by the crumbling of their
dead bodies. Restaurants infested
with flies are special denominations.
The danger from this source is not
small and as the summer will now
soon be on us in good earnest with
hordes of these pests is seems desira-
BILE that everything possible shall be
done to limit the amount of MISCHIEF
done by them. More effective meas
ures are needed for destroying their
multiplication The war on mosqui-
tos by our sanitary department in
Cuba has shown what can be done In
several exterminating insects, and the
preparations which are already being
made in several different places in our
country to carry out the Cuban meth'
ods show that the people are willing
to act if they are shown the best
ways. Until some successful method
has been devised for eXterminating
flies special care should be taken to
prevent their access to sputum, pus,
or other infectious material; fruits and
foodstuffs should be thoroughly cooked
or washed if flies have been allowed
to come in contact with them, ana
should be protected from flies after
preparation for use.

There have been many remarkable
escapes from death, but Oliver Ladou-
Ger, st. Paul lineman, had an expe-
rience lately that is hard to beat.
He was testing wire that EXTENDS

Robert street, to the store Of William
r. Burkhard, directly across the street.
Ladoucer was hanging ON to the wire
with both hands and was slowly crawl
ing out, hand over hand, toward the
middle of the street. He had got bit
few lengths when he felt the wire
giving way. 's'''ta.':.'
lie jumped toward the street, dis
tance of thirty feet. In falling he made

touched anything he would have bec1
instantly killed.-Minneapolis Tribune.

Aut, matte rlagman Tor Trains.

With I view to preventing accidents
Ct level crossings ard collisions in the
neighborhood Of railway stations a
very ingenious mechanism has recent
ly been tried in France. 1t consists
essentially of huge hook, or catch,
made of iron, which is connected with
4 lever ct the station by means of a
wire, through which current of elec-
tficity passes. When it is lying in its
place the train passes over it quite
easily, but az soon as it is raised it
catches a lever which is attached to
the engine. The lever thus caught
causes an air valve ON the engine to
open automatically and applies the
brakes at once so that the whole train
is brought to standstill within q
very short distance. In foggy weather
the use-of such an apparatus cannot
be overestimated, as it is calculated
to prevent train running into an
other which happens to be delayed at
q station.-Pearson's Weekly.

Hand Sweeping Machines.

-Tapd sweeping machines have been
used with much success on the Wash
irgton streets, says the Engineering
Record, according to Mr.. Warner Slut
Ter, superintendent Of the Street
Cleaning Department, who recently
mace the following report on the ap-
paratus. "The advantages to be at
tanned by the use Of this machine over
the present method are as follows: The
work il better done for the reason
that no dust is raised by the machine
ard scattered by the wind, and much
more of the fine dust is taken up. No
sprinkling is necessary, as the dust is
carried into the machine. the opera
ton OF which is very much like that
Of q carpet sweeper. The sprinkling
Of street in advance of sweeping pre-
vents the machine or broom from TAX
ing ID the fine dust. Instead, it is
plastered to the street by the broom
to become dust again as soon as dry.
With the use of this machine one man
can care for one-third more area of
streets ard keep them cleaner than
he can with the hand broom. For the
foregoing reasons AMI tie further fact
that this machine is superior to all
others tried by ne, l would respect
fully rcco nmend its adoption in this
city" ..-.t

Great CONAN He Rules.

1t may surprise most persons to
know that the British possessions in
North America and West Indies are
larger than the territory of the United
States in America, even including Por-
to Rico and Alaska. On the North
American continent alone King Ed
wards possessions are nearly 100000
square miles larger than those of the
United States, and taking in the West
Indies and Newfoundland more than
100000 square miles larger. No man
ever before reigned over an empire
so great as King Edwards. The
empire to which Victoria acceded in
1887 covered one-siXth of the land
surface of the globe; the empire to
which King Edward has acceded COW
ers nearly one-fourth. 1t is 53 times
as big as France, 80 times as big as
Germany, three and a half times as
big as the United States without Alas
ka and the island possessions and
three times as big as continental Eu-
rope.

Much Might Have Happened.

When tigers are really at large in
England. says the London Chronicle,
there are no newspaper paragraphs
held. At Clifton there is q delight
full zoo.
1t was discovered one morning that
a tiger had escaped from his cage
during the night. 1t was the day of
a children's fete at the zoo. A hasty
search of the grounds was instituted,
but no tiger was found. Then the su-
perintendent decided to keep his own
counsel and trust to luck; for it seemed
as if the tiger had scaled the walls
and was in the open country.
Thousands of children romped in the
gardens during the day, and cried
"Ohw and "Ahw as the fireworks
cleaned in the night. All the evening
they played and sauntered about
among the trees and in shaded alleys
and dark corners, and then everybody
went home, tired and happy.
In the early dawn there was anoth-
er search for the tiger; and in the
corner Of disused monkey house was
found the monarch Of the Jungle
still trembling from freedom and fire.

His keepers threw n handkerchief
about his neck, and he meekly allowed
himself to be led back to the grateful
safety of his cage. But many things
might have happened during that fcte
day.
