the board which investigated the injuries
to the Brooklyn has been received at the
navy department. The following state
ment was made as to the conclusions
reached:
1.-THE damaged compartments are leak
ing slightly The outer bottom plating
has not been rent, and 1t is an easy mat
ter to keep the damaged compartments
free from water. 1t is possible that 50
per cent Of the damage to the outer

The board also estimated that the re-
pairs would cost $42.5O0. and that the ship
would have to be laid up in drydock for
three months.

They Believe that Accidents Are Fore.
told by Strange Omens.
Railroad engineers are superstitious
set Most of them hold the belief that
danger is usually preceded by a warn
ing sign.
A man who has worked for years on
the Rio Grande says that never since
he was married has he been in a wreck
but his wife had predicted 1t before
hand. Once she awakened him in the
night to tell him Of horrible dream
she had just had. She saw his engine
plunge into another. She distinctly
heard the crash and the sound Of the
escaping steam, and the cries Of the
victims. She was SO worked up over
the matter. he says. and begged SO
hard that in the morning he didn't take
his engine out. but got substitute to
20 in his place. Sure enough. there
was smash-up. and the substitute
was brought home dead.
Ever since then he has thought It
cowardly to finch. and has refused to
be guided by his wife's dreams. III
my engine Is going into smash-up"
he says. II am going to be at the throt-
tie, and the little woman at home must
depend on her prayers to save me-"
Several wrecks have occurred since
that first one, and every time the wom-
an has told beforehand of their COM
ing.
Some engineers regard the number Is
peculiarly unlucky. Charles Frye, an
other veteran engineer on the Rio
Grande. declares that it Is interviewer

passengers aboard the sleeper. was pull

Tom LOTUS, Of the Colorado & South

Dec. 31-on which all of his wrecks
occur. 1t began ten years ago on the
31st Of December. His engine was
pounding along from Trinidad to Dem

mares and Huerfano his train crashed
into another double-hcader that was
making forty miles an hour In the d.

He saw the collision coming. re-

his own life, but one Of the firemen
was killed and the rest Of both crews

Tailoring With the Camera.

A new method of measuring for tail
ors has been patented in Paris. The
person to be measured is placed be-
fore the camera and between them is
introduced a network that is photo
graphed at the same time and serves
as standard. Certain articles are
necessary to obtain n complete result;
thus, certain hidden parts, like the
armpits, etc. must be indicated by
objects visible from without, and,
finally, several views must be taken
from various standpoints. These
points may. however, be marked di-
rectly on the person instead. The rel
ative positions of the camera, the net
work and the subject are carefully ad-
justed so that the subject appears al
ways on the same scale and then the
photograph is taken from the various
necessary standpoints.

FINED FOR CRUELTY TO FISH.
English Naturalist Punished for Lack
Of Care.

few weeks ago an officer of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals in England noticed as he
was passing by a naturalist's house
that some dead goldfish were floating
in a globe which stood in one of the
windows. Making inquiries, he dis
covered that the water in the globe
had not been changed for several
days.
Knowing that this was sufficient
to cause death among the fish, he
made formal charge of cruelty
against the naturalist When the case
was called in court he produced as
a witness a professor of a museum
of natural history. who testified that
goldfish could not live under such
conditions and that before dying they
would suffer much agony. The judge
was evidently impressed by this tes-
timony, for he promptly fined tho
naturalist $40.
