LONG WITHOUT FOOD.
Dreadful Sufferinqs of Two Men in a
Boston Cellar.

Boston, Mass. June 1S.-A strange sto-
ry of the sufferings of two unfortunate
came to light yesterday noon, when the
police We're called to the cellar of the I'M
used grain elevator Of the Boston & Al
bany Railroad on Chandler street Two
men Were found there one very nearly
unconscious. and the other so weak that
little could be learned from them
The sufferings of one were ended eariy
in the evening when he died at the City
hospital. His name he was able to give
as Charles II. Webster, and he lived al
one time at / Corning street. but 50 long
ago that he called it Indiana Place
The other man was James Brown wis

lie was treated BY a physician. and in
order that the police might learn little
something more about the case he was
sent to the Tombs where he will be
given a chance to recover his normal con
dition.
Both men had been without food for
many hours one said. but it may have
been many days. Brown could tell little
about himself or his comrade, except
that they were so hungry" The con
dition of Webster was most shocking
Somewhere he had fallen and hurt him
self. His right shoulder was dislocated
He had severe wound on the right leg.
which had remained long unattended
Botn men were pitiful sights when the
police lifted them from the cellar. Their
cheeks were sunken and Webster moaued
when his shoulder was touched. He was
slowly lapsed into Inconsistencies and
his death occurred few minutes after
o'clock
Brown was taken to the Dedham street
police station and DR.. McQueeney was
called to attend him. First he was given
some weak stimulant and later a small
quantity of food which he ate ravenous-
~. Food was given him in small ulan-
titles all the afternoon.
An attempt was made to get Brown to
talk, but when he did finally recover him
self enough he could tell very little. He
said that Webster had gone into the ceI-
lar first by dropping down through a win
dow, and that he had probably fallen an 4
hurt himself that way. He had followed
him, and once in the cellar had been UNI
able to climb out, owing to the darkness ;
and the height of the wall. His calls
for help had not been heard until yester-
day, when some small boys setting off
fireworks came near enough to hear the
voices, which had become little more thar,
means
Other than Browns story the police
have no knowledge of how the men came
to get into the elevator.
Webster is said to have friends in
Lawrence who are fairly well to do. and
he was at one time a member of highly
respectable society. He had developed n
wandering tendency, and for that reason
| mad kept away from those who used to
| be his friends.

best proposed. He believed that it
would cost more than s200000.000 TO
build a canal by either route. He was
not particularly in favor of any canal,
but he announced that he would vote
Tor the Spooner amendment.
Hanna then began his closing argu-
ment in support of the adoption of the
Panama route. He maintained that
both the Panama and Nicaragua
routes were perfectly feasible and
practicable, but said the preponderance
of evidence in hand was in favor of
the Panama.
Hanna in answer to some arguments
of Morgan then stated what he knew
personally of the attitude of the late
President Mckinley. Mckinley had
favored an isthmian canal, probably
by the Nicaragua route because at that
time no other route was thought pos
sible.
Hanna said Mckinley keenly APP
preciated the responsibilities of his Sc
lection of canal commission and had
said to him just before the Philadelphia
convention:
1t will not be wise to declare in
favor Of the Nicaragua canal as we
nave done before, because L am just
now appointing commission of ability
and integrity to investigate all routes
and its report will be binding upon all
Of us
In conclusion Hanna resented the
suggestion that he and those senators
who We're advocating the Panama
route We're actuated by any other than
proper and patriotic motives.
In advocating the adoption of the
Nicaragua route, Pettus declared that
the American people wanted and would
have an isthmian canal to be built,
owned and controlled by the United
States.
The District of Columbia appropria-
ton was sent to conference and
Spooner offered some amendments
intended to perfect his substitute.
At O'Clock the Senate adjourned.

Temperature of Insects.

A Russian naturalist has made a
series of measurements by thermo
electric method of the temperature OF
insects. The temperature of the hui
man body is essentially the same in
the tropics and in the polar zones. I'm
der usual conditions the temperature of
an insect rises with that of the sur
rounding air, only more slowly. When
the insect begins to move. its tempera-
ture rises, and it continues to rise I'M
til the motion ceases. At 1922 Il. heat
paralysis sets in. which ceases, how
ever. as the temperature falls. Below
81 f. insects are without motion. For
one species, Saturnia pyri, the highest
temperature compatible with life is at
115 degrees F. This is about the tenn
perature that is fatal to vegetable life.

had a keen aversion to swearing and
to profaning the name of God. When
at play, he was never heard to do so,
and on being asked why he did not
swear at play as well as others he an
swered that he knew no game worthy
of an oath. The same answer he is
said to have given at a hunting match.

killed by the dog, at which the hunts

to excite the prince against the butch

the stag, and how could the butcher
help it,"

been so served he would have sworn
so as no man could have endured it.

At present there are four districts in
Turkey III which any one who so de-
sires may enter into the business of
meerschaum mining simply by paying
the Ottoman government the sum de-
manded for license-namely, 3 pias-
tiers. These districts are Sari-Sou Sc
petdii. Geikli and Menlon. The 5000
miners already engaged in this indus
try are Kurds and Persians, and all of
them work according to the most print
tive methods. They are formed into
gangs composed of fifteen men at the
most under the authority of a section
boss.
The first work done. says the Revue
Scientifique. consists of sinking well
until the miners come to IL reddish clay
SOIL which indicates the presence of
the mecrschaum. this latter being
found at a depth varying from ten to
200 feet. The mcerSchaum appears in
the form of round humps, more or less
irregular in form, the size of which
rarely exceeds thirty or forty cubic
centimeters and the usual size of which
is about that of an apple or walnut
When they reach the bed, the miners
dig horizontal galleries through the red
clay, and, as there is no direction or
plan pursued. the gangs frequently
meet each other. The work is carried
on night and day by means of petro-
leum lamps, the blocks of meerschaum
being brought To the surface still i'm
bedded in their matriX. On the weekly
sale day the workmen meet and sell
their goods to the 'lulediis." or pipe
manufacturers of ESkichehr The
blocks are then taken to the town and
washed, after which they are cut into
suitable pieces while the matter is still
very soft. Sorting and chasing are then
proceeded with. and the ''luledjis" in
their turn sell their purchases to the
larger dealers. who export the meer-
schaum. carefully enveloped in cotton
wadding.

He must laugh for some excellent rea-

To attract his attention I uttered a

He paused in his merrimenr slightly

You are laughing so long and so lightly"
He borrowed my kerchief to dry up his
tears.
Then wrung out the kerchief politely
And said, with wag of his wonderful
ears,
I'm laughing SO long and so lightly
"Because"-then he burst out a-laughing
again
Till he trembIed with ill suppressed
And 1 stood there impatient to hear the
great joke.
For jokes are most pleasing to me.
1 gave a loud "Hem!" and the elephant
choked.
Excuse me-" he said, Il am laughing
Indeed-Tm not laughing at you
But you two legged mortals convulse me
with glee
When you take what you call your vaca-
lions,
For you put such queer things in your
poor helpless trunks
And then add to those queer combina-
tions
by stuffing them full and then squeez-
ing them shut
And adding all sorts of abuses.
We elephants know, and have known it
for years,
That trunks were not made for such
uses"

One of the essential conditions for
the speeding of automobiles at night
is the proper lighting of the road. Or
binary side lanterns are inadequate.
and therefore headlights which throw
bright rays in advance of the vehicle
must be used. Acetylene is well adapt
ed for obtaining brilliant light. 1t is
by no means uncommon to see car
riages provided with two searchlights,
placed at the right and ut the left of the
vehicle. Such lights. says Il writer in
the Scientific American, should have Il
common generator.
The generator of the Bleriot light
may be regarded as Il typical example
of the generators usually employed. 1t
