BOY TOOK 10000 VOLTS.

Well
Walter BEdds, 8 years old, had q cur
rent from an electric cable carrying
10, 100 volts OF electricity pass through
bis body recently. That he was not
killed Is considered miraculous, but the
physicians at the Hartford hospital,
where the boy is now suffering from
the effects of the shock say that he will
recover, says the Hartford Courant.
Young Budds started out with Johnnie
Farrell and Willie Cosgrove, young
chums OF his, to see the circus parade.
They went to Main street near the
tunnel and after waiting for some
time without the parade's coming in
sight, they got uneasy. On Albany ave-
nue.. just above the Main street juno
ton. the Hartford Electric Light com
pany has a terminal tub through
which the cables that bring the electric
current in from the Pennington ri-er
pass into the underground system of
the company. One of the boys sug-
gested that they climb upon the roof
OF the terminal tub to see if the parade
was coming down Albany avenue.
They made a run for the tub. A lad
der stood in the rear of the tub, and
the tub is built several feet above tho
surface of the ground. Young Budds
was in advance of the others. He was
the first to mount the ladder and as
he climbed up the rounds he turned to
The other boys and said that he could
get to the top first. The parade was
not in sight and that he might have
a better view of the surroundings he
reached from the top Of the tub to
one of the cables with the heavy volt
age for the purpose of pulling himself
onto the pole which carried the cables
down through the tub. In taking hold
of the cable he instantly connected
himself with the electric current His
feet were jerked from beneath him,
his body became rigid and blue flames
shot out from the cables underneath
the boys hands. What appeared to
the big crowd to have been a dead
boy was brought back to life, and then
the little fellow was taken to the Hart
ford hospital in an unconscious condi-
tion- He was very weak on being re-
ceived at the Institution, but during
the afternoon he gained more strength
and had long sleep. Both his hands
were badly burned and the index fin
ger of his left hand was burned of.

TO FOIL CHECK RAISER.

New Scheme for Preventing Any Alter
ations in Checks.
More than 20 COO ,0OO, 900 of checks
are used annually in the United States,
and of this amount something like 49,
900 are raised the loss falling on the
drawer, for the drawer of a check is
chargeable with the amount paid on it,
provided his signature is genuine, no
matter for what amount he has pre-
viously filled it in. Many devices have
been planned for foiling the check
raiser, but the security check is the
most perfect protection the ingenuity
of man has yet unfolded. The check
has been briefly described as follows:
tOn the left of the check is printed the
safeguarding schedule. The words di-
recting the payment of money are
qualified by the following printed into
the body of the paper: Provided
amount does not exceed that expressed
in words and figures at end of sched-
ule.' After the drawer has written in
the amount of money to be paid he ad-
justs small paper cutter to that line
of the upper half of the schedule
which bounds the maximum amount to
be paid in dollars. tens, hundreds, or
down as far as the small ring in the
center of the schedule. Then he re-
wolves his ruler, adjusting it to that
line of the lower half of the schedule
which bounds the number of dollars,
tens of dollars, hundreds or thousands,
to be paid, and then completes tearing
the check from the stub along that
line. This leaves in the hands of the
dro ho oh Int al
guarded from alteration, for the left
hand margin expresses in words and
figures the amount not exceeding
which it has been drawn
The device is used by scores of banks
and by hundreds of prominent firms.
although it has been before the public
but a short time. 1t is used not only
on checks but also notes, receipts,
drafts, bills Of 1ading, and other pa
pers, and is suited for use of money
orders and tickets.

layan brown bear There are always
agents all over the world searching
tropical forests for the right birds to
supply fy-hackles, and one of the
most-sought-after skins is that of the
rare green screamer," an African
bird. about the size OF a fowl, which
has a tiny bunch of feathers on each
shoulder that are worth SIS per bunch
to the fymaker. One of these birds
only supplies feathers enough to make
rings for half dozen flies. Numbers
of men spend their 1ives-and lose
them, too-in collecting the right kinds
of birds for hy-feathers- Several keen
fly fishers invent their own flies and
attend in person at the factory to
have them made under their own SUI

thusiasm of an artistic fly tyer. who
