Game Warden Fullerton Tells. What to
do in That Case.

"a Game Warden Fullerton has ruled
that if bass swallows a hook dur

may keep the fish on reporting its
capture to the warden. He says it
is not the sportsman S fault if the
fish bites the hook and swallows it.
If the fish does not swallow the
hook, it is to be returned to the
water.

Up to the last of June the bass

GRAFT SKIN FROM DEAD.
Experiment Tried at minneapolis
and Proves IA Gratifying
Success.

For the first time on record skin
taken from dead person has been sue
cessfully grated onto living man,
and the latter is getting well. The man
upon whom the experiment was tried
is Nicholas Sossong, who was fearfully
burned with nitric acid some lime ago
at Minneapolis, MINI. Huge patches
of the skin came off and the surgeons
tried in vain to secure enough skin
from living persons to supply the de-
ficiency.
One night, when it was seen that a
patient in the next room at the hos
pital could live but few hours. prep
aSations were made for removing large
portions of his skin as soon as the
breath left his body. When death
same the corpse was taken in Sossong's S
room and there in the gray hours of
the morning the body was tiayed and
the skin placed upon the exposed flesh
of Sossong's body.
Seventy-five inches of epidernis was
thus transferred, and to the surprise
of the surgeons it began to take root
at once. IN a week it was practically
the skin Sossong has always had. Then
another man died and the same per-
formance was repeated, with the same
result. All of-the CRAFTS are in re-
markably healthy condition and Sos
song is on the road to recovery.

THE STEWART MANSION.
To Be Purch"scd for some Largo
Charitable Institution OF
New York City.

II has been learned from trust
worthy source, says the New York
Tribune, that negotiations are pending
for the purchase of the old A. II. Stew
art mansion in Fifth avenue. The per-
son who has expressed desire to OBJ
tain the house is interested. from what
can he learned, in some large charitable
institution of this city. and has decid-
ed TO present to this organization a
gift in the form of a spacious home. He
has intimated that he thinks the Stew
art mansion would be suitable for this
purpose, and that if his plans are car
ried out he will remove the structure
at his own expense and have it erected,
in its present form, somewhere in
Westchester.
lie has inquired about the price
asked, not only for the house. but for
the marble ratings around the grounds
and the two-story buldingin the rear,
which was at one time used as library
by MIR. Stewart, His name cannot yet
be learned 1t is said, however, that he
is thought to be identified most prom
inently with an institution conducted
for the benefit of seamen.
A. r. Stewart bought the site for his
famous house in 1861, for 1925, 900. He
spent at least S1,000,000 in erecting the
house. The exterior was built of mar
BILE quarried in Tuckahoe, N. j., and the
interior of marble from Carrara, Italy.
The Carrara marble, according to his
architects orders, was polished in
Italy and shipped to this country ready
to put into place. Mr.. Stewart occu-
pied the house until his death in April.

Upton ASKS CHANGES.
Sends Request to New York Yacht
Club to Have Certain Racing
Rules Modified.

A cable dispatch from Glasgow, Scot
land, intimates that Sir Thomas Lip
ton will ask for material modification
in the conditions for sailing the inter-
national yacht race the coming sum-
mer. According to the cablegram Capt.
Sycamore, who is to command the
Shamrock H., strongly approved of the
proposal to abandon the arrangement
allowing each boat in races for the
Americas Cup two clear minutes in
which to get started. He favored the
flying start, now almost universal in
yacht racing.
a formal request that the conditions
should be so modified has been mailed,
as was also request that provisions
be made in the agreement allowing
Shamrock III. three weeks to refit after
arrival on this side, and for he meas
urement of the yachts at the Brooklyn
navy yard instead of in the Erie basin.
Secretary j. V. S. Oddie, of the New
York Yacht club, said that when the
request for changes in race conditions
had been received the race committee
will be called together to consider it.,
although they regard all arrangements
for the coming struggle as already set
tied.

LAMB BREAKS UP A SCHOOL.
Animal Much Resembling Mnry's Re-
sents Efforts of Teacher to Put
Him Out, UpsettinG stove.

In 30 seconds a snow-white lamb,
belonging to flock that was being
driven past the new schoolhouse on
the Short Tract road the other day at
Nunda, n. Y, routed the entire school,
frightened Miss Alice Ray, the teach
er, into Mysteries, and forced the trus-
tees to hold a special session to ap-
propriate money to repair the damage
the lamb had done.
TITS the sweetest little lamb, just
the kind that followed Mary to
school," Miss Ray said to her pupils
as the lamb dashed into the room.
The pupils thought so, too, until Miss
Ray began to pet the lamb and show
it toward the door. Then the little
animal began racing around the
schoolroom. 1t collided with the stove
and knocked leg from under it and
it fell in heap. The Goals scattered
all over the floor, starting fire.
Miss Ray and the pupils broke for
the door and escaped, followed by a
binding smoke, They carried snow
and water and put out the fire. The
lamb was eXtricated by John Bennett
who was driving the flock. Miss Ray
went home suffering from nervous
prostration and school broke up fol-
the day.

NEW SIX-INCH GUN.
an Effort VIII lie Made to Sc
cure Better Weapon.

1t has been decided that a new six
inch rapd-fire gun is to be construct
ed at the war department in an effort
to secure better gun of that type
than has been purchased abroad by
the navy department. The gun is to
be built at the Bethlehem steel works
and must give a muzZle velocity of
3,000-foot seconds and be capable of
being fred at the rate of at least
5000 pounds per minute at 2,50O-foot
seconds velocity. The distinctive feat
ures of this gun will be the breech
mechanism, patented by the Bethle-
hem company. The navy department
recently purchased the right to use
the breech mechanism of the Vickers
people in England, the sum paid be-
ing $25O,OOO.
The Bethlehem mechanism is sup
posed to be an improvement on the
Vickers. Some recent tests made with
the Vickers device, it is said resulted
in a gun being fired as many as ten
shots per minute.
The guarantee in the case of the
Bethlehem mechanism is eight rounds
in the same period, and there is a
hope, of course, that the Vickers
achievement will be surpassed.

A BAR TO PROGRESS.
Tendency in Army to Cling to OBJ
solete and Useless Traditions.
Louis Gnthmann, the Inventor, Tells
Funny story to illustrate
Pointed Criticism on Army
Conservatism.

Louis Gathmann, the Chicago inven-
tor. has fund of funny stories, most OF
them dating back to the days when he
lived in Germany. He tells one story in
particular to illustrate why it is that
army ordnance officers invariably dis
courage new ideas in gunnery instead
of welcoming inventions, as persons in
charge of any private enterprise would
naturally do. "When went to Holland
as a boy" said the shrewd old inventor,
81 had an experience with ordinary
army methods have never forgotten.
1t seems there was guard posted at a
certain corner for some twenty-odd
years. The sentry was relieved every
four hours or so without the slightest
question during all that time.
FINALLY some one began to question
why a guard was posted at that par
ticular corner at al. A laborious
search was instituted among the old
army records, and finally. to the amuse-
ment of everybody, the reason for that
sentry was at last discovered. 1t seems
that fence was painted on that cor
ner, and to keep the people from solllng
their clothes some well-disposed officer
stationed soldier with gun there.
The paint dried on the fence and the
fence fell down, and the corner was
built up with another building, but the
sentry still paced his beat there for 20
years or more.
"In this way some of our army tradi-
tions have been kept up, and officers
who are both brave and intelligent have
gone on doing certain things in GER
tain way because method was initi-
ated in the department long years ago
for particular contingency which has
since entirely disappeared.

bilt's machine, which now holds the
American record. The desire to stay
In front has induced Mr.. Vanderbilt
to order the new machine, which will
be the fastest ever built.

men met in churches and other
places to ask, What can we do for
our country? So rapidly did the
excitement and war fever spread
that everything else, for the time,
seemed to be neglected or forgotten.
Harper came home and stated
that the college company had gone,
and he thought it his duty to enlist,
as the country was in peril and had
called for her sons to defend her.
He assured his mother that he had
carefully considered the question of
his duty, from the side of his moth
er's feeble health and lonely condi-
ton, also the claims of his betroth-
ed, and had tried to convince him
self that the stronger claims were
those binding him to his home; but
he had become nervous and sick
over the struggle and could not rest
satisfied at home while his class
mates and associates were all offer
ing themselves to their country.
The ladies tearfully protested and
urged him not to leave them, and at
last he was constrained to yield to
their solicitations to remain at home.
A few days later there was a quiet
wedding in the old church, conduct
ed by their friend and pastor and
attended by a few friends, when
George Harper and Fanny Day
were united as husband and wife for
life. The white-haired minister, as
he joined their hands, prayed that
their lives might flow together as
one gentle stream, peacefully and
happily, until they reached the great
