The Rights of Fat Men.

The Paris courts recently decreed
that balcony must be equal to the
strain of 17h stone. The decision was
the outcome of somewhat amusing
lawsuit, in which the complainant was
a portly person named Rudet, and the
defendant the proprietor of villa near
the pleasant resort of Fecamp. One
summer moonlight night while M. Ru-
Diet was enjoying the cooling breezes
from the sea the balcony suddenly
collapsed, and the guest, who tipped
the scale at Tx stone, came with a
crash to the ground, sustaining serious
injuries in his fall. He sued the pro-
prietor of the villa for damages, but
the latter sheltered himself behind the
abnormal weight of his tenant, and de-
clined responsibility. The court, how
ever, did not take this view of the
case, and NJ. Rudet was awarded g12C
as ensation.-Detroit Free Press

Emperor Williams interest in this
question is claimed by many to be
but a fad in keeping with his cree

Jerusalem, and into which he is in

many's expansion in western Asia,
Russia is simply striving for the nee
essary from both a political and
commercial standpoint. She realizes
the need for an opening on the south
if her great southern provinces are
to be developed commercially, and
she is to hold her position in Asia
politically. But Russia has more
than the sultan to deal with, she has
also England, and England watches
every move of the bear. Russia has
pushed steadily westward to the Pa
cific. Now she must push southwark
to the Indian ocean, and to accom-
plish this she is now strainiDg every

worked quietly, establishing her in

But the realization of Russia's de-
sire for an outlet to the Indian ocean
is not yet entirely frustrated, and
while recent occurrences have but
added new entanglements for her to
unravel, she hopes yet to accomplish
her purpose, and proposes by rum
ming her own railway south to the
Persian gulf to paralyze the German
line commercially, and to Illustrate
it's object strategically.
Before discussing the Russian rail-

ACCIDENTS TO TRAVELLERS.
pening to Pedestrians, and Peo-
pie at Their Work.

According to the experience of the
accident insurance companies, about
the safest place for man to be is
in Pullman car or aboard an ocean
steamer, states the New York Sun.
Contrary to popular belief the ma
jority of accidents for which the in
surance companies are called upon
to settle do not occur on railroads
or steamships. In fact. the proper
ton of such accidents is small.
| Experience shows that it is the
| simple pedestrian who runs the mos t
risk outside the extra hazardous oG-
equations. and oftenest applies 10
the company which issued his poll
cy. The most recent figures of one
accident insurance company show
that in 1900, 14,425 claims for acct
dents were allowed and paid. OF
this number 1,6o6 were accidents to
pedestrians.
Horses and vehicles occupy
prominent place as causing accidents
and to them 1,017 are attributed.
Pedestrians who are knocked down
by runaways and otherwise injured
by horses are taken from the pedes
trian class and placed among the VIC
time of horses and vehicles.
Next to these in order of impor-
lance comes the set of causes
grouped under the heading SAT
Home" In this class are placed 920
of the accidents for which the com.
pany was called upon to settle. It
is to be remembered that many &C.
cidents that really occur in and
about the house are not included
in this class. for there are burns
and scalds. injuries from firearms
and explosions, bites of animals and
foreign substances in the eye, which
are otherwise classified.
Steam railroads and steamships
are set down as being responsible
for only 299 of the accidents of that
year, and the small figures are the
more remarkable when it is remem-
bered that people are most likely
to take out accident insurance when
they go travelling.
At one time the bicycle got in it's
work in a much more lively manner
than it does at present. During the
year under consideration 395 acct
dents were attributed to that cause,
while for the three years immediate.
ly preceding, counting backward, the
company settled for $50, $50 and ss4
accidents from this cause.
All accidents in factories, in the
erection of buildings, bridges and
other structures, accidents resulting
from the use of edged tools, those
met with by laborers and men at
work in the trades, ETC., are grouped
together, and as might be expected
outnumber any other class. For the
past four years the total number
of all accidents for each year being
nearly the same the accidents in
this big class were 6,672, 7,047, 1913
and 1880. So it seems that to the
workingman and the laborer come
the largest risks and the greatest
| danger.

having awakened the suspicious of
England. The people of northern
Persia have seemed more than will
ing to exchange the weak rule of
the shah for the strong hand of the
czar, and all plans were working nice
ly until Germany took a part in the
plan of regeneration for this sec
ton of Asia.
Germany has planned direct line
of railway through from the Allan
tic to the head of the Persian gulf.
For this she has secured concessions
from the sultan that gives her per-
mission to cross the Bosphorus at
Constantinople and build down
through Mesopotamia. Such a line
is even now partially built, and Rus
sia's fear is that England will take
advantage of concession which she
| holds and build line westward from
India to strike the German line, and
| thus shut her off from her desired
| connection with the Persian gulf.
Russia sees, also, menace to the
realization of two others of her am
billions in this new friendship be-
tween the sultan and Germany. She
still clings to the possibility of one
day being mistress of Constantine
pie, once the great fount and center
of the Byzantine church, and the
source of inspiration of so much in
Russian religion and art. Another
of Russia's ambitions is to some day
rule the Holy Land, and to see the
Greek cross triumphant where the
crescent has so long held sway. And
now comes the German concession
for rai;waJ cutting right across
the Russian path to the Holy Sepul-
cher. Thus two of her ambitions

but now practically a depopulated
desert. Germany is even now at
work reviving the agricultural in
terests, and hopes to reopen the an
Gent irrigation works that made the
country at one time veritable gar
den of Eden. She hopes also to open
the Euphrates and Tigris rivers to
navigation for considerable dis
lance. Should Germany prove sue
cessful in her projects this ancient
country may again become one of the
graneries of the world, and compete
successfully with the wheat fields of
America. In the furtherance of this
plan German agents have been teach
ing scientific methods of farming to
the natives, and the government has
been supplying seed and implements
on easy terms. Preferential rates
on her proposed lines of railway to-
the markets of Europe are also Of
fered
A glance at the accompanying maps
will give an idea of the invasion of
this ancient country proposed by both
Germany and Russia. The smaller map
shows the proposed lines from the At
lantic ports through to the Indian
ocean, the northern route the line Rus
STA will offer, and the southern one that
proposed by Germany. For their line
the Russians claim it would be the
quickest to the mouth of the Persian
gulf, and would also offer the advan-
tage of tapping the richest of the prov
inces of Persia. 1t is because of these
claims that they expect to paralyze
the German project.
The larger map shows the lines Of
railway built in the disputed territory,
the lines now under construction, and
those for which concessions have been
granted. The Russian Trans Caucasian
railway has now been connected with
Erivan, and is being rapidly pushed
to completion to Julia, on the northern
Persian frontier. From this latter
point the line will be extended to
Tabriz, Kesvin and Teheran, which is
already connected by a Russian road
with the Caspian sea. But from Tehe-
ran southwards Russia has not only
to deal with Persia but with England,
as there is now in existence British
concession for line from this point
to the head of the Persian gulf. This
concession is for line through Kun,
Buruiird and Ahwahz, with the right to
branch road eastwards to Ispahan.
There are still two other feasible
routes left to Russia. One is for line
from Teheran, via Burujird, down to
Bushire, on the Persian gulf, and the
other from Teheran via Ispaha1l, south
| east to Herman and thence to Bandar
Abbas. Either of these lines would
meet Russia's requirements, but the
latter is the more probable of the
two, and is the one the Russian gov
eminent is now working to secure.
Russia is building at the present
time one line Of railway on Persian soil.
that is, branch line from the trans
Caspian, near Askabad, to Keshed, in
Khorassan, and having secured this
concession it is believed that unless
strong British opposition is exerted
the concession for the line to the gulf
will be hard to get. If it is once in Rus
sia's hands the completion of the line
will be but a matter of a short time.
