MICE TO DETERMINE GAS.
They Now Form Part OF Equipment
of the Submarine boat Fulton.

They Now Form Part of Eauipm en-
of the Submarine Bont Fulton.
Frank T. Gable, superintendent of
the Holland Torpedo Boat company's
plant at New Suffolk, N. Y, and cap.
tain of the submarine boat Fulton, be-
lieves that he has found a way to solve
the problem of protecting the occu-
pants of n submarine boat from the
danger Of asphyxiation while under
wnter, says the New York Tribune.
The most serious objection to the use
of submarine boats Is the danger of
suffiocation from the fumes generated
by the gasoline engine used to propel
the boat on the surface and to furnish
power for the dynamo which produces
the electricity stored for lighting and
for submarine propulsion.
While no serious results have so far
followed the presence Of the gas in the
Holland boats. 1t is always feared,
mainly because its presence cannot be
detected by any means at the com.
mand of Captain Gable and his men.
A Washington scientist has said that
the gas is either carbon dioxlde or car
bon monoxide. 1t is necessary to know
which in order to provide means of
counteracting 1t. 1t is figured that
mice feel the effect of these gases,
which are odorless and tasteless, twen-
ty times more quickly than men.
Captain Gable suggested that mice be
introduced into the Fulton. He was
told that If a mouse were to inhale
either of the gases an examination of
the corpuscles of It's blood would fur
nish the desired information. The abb
sence Of food of any kind for mice, ex-
cepting small quantities of oil kept In
patent cans. has made rodents un.
known on submarine boats. Accord.
ingly Captain Cable has secured half
dozen white mice, each in little cage
and they how form part of the equip
ment of the Fulton.

Folding Beds.

All purchasers of folding beds do not
buy them solely for the sake of saving
room. According to manufacturer,
some people with ample house room at
command buy them. for one reason. so
that the rooms in which they nre placed
can be put to other uses than as bed.
rooms.
This manufactures mentioned one
New York family in whose house are
eleven fine folding beds. Any room In
the house designed for and equipped as
sleeping room could easily be trans
formed from bedroom to one that had
no appearance of n sleeping apartment
whatever.
There are produced nowadays folding
beds of one kind and another that are
sold at low prices. but the most costly
of the finer folding beds may easily be
pretty dear affairs.
The manufacturer told Of one elab-
oratcly designed and finished folding
bed that cost $1,000. the cost OF the
carving alone having been $300.-New

Maine Beavsr. Dam a River.


The biggest beaver dam ever seen In
Maine is now attracting hundreds of
people to Caribou. on the Aroostook
river, says the Lewiston Evening Jour-
nal Two miles from the village the
beavers have built dam of logs and
mud 250 feet long, turning the river
back upon the lowlands for distance
of three miles and thus creating
great lake. Trees n foot in diameter
have been cut down by the beavers,
the branches trimmed off and the
trunks In some mysterious manner
brought TO the dam and submerged.
The dam is better than many on the
river that have been built by men, and
the Caribou people are rather proud OF
1t. over 1000 beavers have worked
hard on this job for Several months,
and they will be allowed TO remain In
possession all winter.

RETURNING TO NATURE.
An Authors Interesting Views ON
the Actual Process,

the Actual Process.
William l.. Alden. writing from Lon.
don for the book review Of the New
York Times, says:
There is an obvious tendency to ire
turn to nature" in the books of the
last twelve months. That Is to say,
there has been published very con-
siderable number of books dealing
with gardens, life in the open mir and
the manners and customs of animals.
There is evidently demand for books
of this sort or else they would not be
published. Returning to nature"
when 1t Is put into actual practice, gen.
orally means wearing blue flannel
shirt and no coat; living in a hut in
stead of house: eating atrocious food
cooked by some one who knows not the
first elements of cookery. and acquiring
large amount of surface dirt on ones
clothes and body.
There was time when | returned
to nature" for few weeks every sum-
mer. but l could never see that much
came Of II. except an inordinate desire
for the things ! had left behind in
civilization. The literature of ire
turning to nature" is much more toler-
able than the actual process. Nothing
Is more delightful than to read of the
beauties of life in the wilderness You
do not feel the bite of the mosquitoes
and you do not personally eat the fried
pork, but you have all the delights
which the man who wrote the book
fancied that he had had after he had
returned to civilization.

CARR's SUGGESTION.
He Wants Normal School Regents to
Resign at Once

Colonel r. S. Carr, of this city,
secretary of the State Board of Nor
nal School Regents, has come for
ward with commendable PROPOSE
ton as to the reconstruction of the
burned building at shepherdstown
in case the necessary money can be
secured saws the Charleston Gazette.
He proposes that the members of
the present board resign at once and
thus give Governor White an oppor
tunity to appoint new board. As
the terms Of the old members do not
expire until June lst. and the mem
bers would not like to undertake
such important work at the expira-
ton Of their terms, Col Carr makes
the proposition in order to facilitate
matters, which it certainly would.
Governor White could then name
the members of the new board and
announce that at the expiration Of
their present terms he would reap
point them, as he did in the case of
W. W. Whyte and Newton Ogden,
whom he recently appointed on the
penitentiary board. The board of
Normal School Regents consists Of
the Superintendent of Free Schools,
who is an ex-officio member; Sena-
tor Harvey W Harmer, of Clarks-
burg; Stewart II Bowman, of Phil
ippi; Colonel r. s. Carr, of this city,
and Waitman Barbe, of Parkersburg.
1t is hoped for the benefit OF the
Shepherdstown school that the mem
bers of the board will take advan-
tage Of Colonel Carr's proposition

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
In Department of Sociology at
Chicago University

Is DIR. Jerome Hall Raymond at Sal
airy of $500 Year What he is
Really to Get-Fake Announcement
about Fine Job Ii Exploded Very
Badly -Fakers Can now Get of the
job.
From the Chicago Times Herald we
learn that among the announcements
made at the recent convoca tion at the
University of Chicago by President
Harper there is one that is OF much
interest To Morgantown people.
Among the appointments recently
made and announced at that time was
that of Jerome Hall Raymond late
President of the West Virginia Uni
yersity who is TO be associate profess
or of sociology.
The salary connected with this
Office is TO be So, 800 year which is
the same paid associate professors and
all other understrappers. DR.. Raymond
held similar position at the Univer-
sity OF Wisconsin before he came here.
While connected with Chicago he was
engaged in University extenson work.
1t had been announced officially
that he was to have place that paid
81, 600 year with but six months
work each year. 1t will be seen from
the statement of the Times Herald
that this was a fake and that he does
not have nearly as good a place as he
had in the University in West Vir-
ginia.
While here he received salary Of
50, 600 and in addition claimed 81, 200
| for the work done during each sum
mer quarter. This was not allowed
by the regents because there was no
money available from which TO pay
it. However there is a move on foot
to divide the sum of money left unex-
| pended from the summer quarter
! funds pre- rata among those having
such claims.
DR.. Harper President of Chicago
university was the main sponsor for
Raymond when ne came here and Of
course had to take care OF him when
he left the state. Those who have
been telling the people of the state
how much more appreciated the tall
ents Of the eminent westerner are
away from this state can now take a
rest from the arduous duties involved
ia lying to such an extent about what
has really happened.

MURDER In PITTSBURG.
Edward Hoffman Shoots and
Kills Charles Dubbs

Saturday Night-Wounds Dubbs Moth
. er-Fight Started Over Board Bill.
Pittsburg Papers Say That Hoffman
is q Morgant0Wn Man but He is not
Known Here.
Edward Hoffman aged Is team
ster, in Pittsburg, shot and killed
Charles Dubbs, %. in Pittsburg
Saturday night and fatally shot Mrs
Ann Deitrick. The shooting grew
out of dispute over a board bill.
Some of the Pittsburg papers state
that Hoffman is a resident of Nor
gantown and that he went to that
city year ago. They state that
his parents live in this place.
Inquiries have been set on foot
and it has been found that no one
by that name lives in town or near
by country and it is not thought that
they live in the county at all. How
ever an Ann Deitrlck, the daughter
of John Deitriek. of Stewartstown,
has lived in Pittsburg for several
years and it is possible that the mis-
take grew out of this fact.
Hoffman had been told to go but
he steadily refused to leave the
place. He was given final notice on
Saturday when he said that he would
go but that they would be sorry
that they had turned him out.
He got revolver and came back.
Dubbs warned him not to come into
the house when fight started. Hof-
man drew his gun and shot Dubbs
twice. The young man died instant
ly. Mrs. Deitrick seeing the TRACE
dy began to scream for the police
and Hoffman turned his weapon on
her striking her in the ankle and
missing her with another shot.
After the shooting Hoffman es-
capped but was soon captured and
logded in Jail. He has not hing te
say as to why he committed the
crime Harry Garrison was at the
time of the shooting near the spot
and saw the victims soon after it
occurred.
Bail will be refused the murderers
and it IS probable that he will re
ceive salty dose.
