The blue and green colors of frogs, lizards
certain fishes and other vertebrates have been
investigated by two French biologists. A black
pigment causes the blue color by what Pouchet
called "cerulescence," or kind of fiuorescence,
and the green color is due to mixture of black
and yellow pigments. The colored skins seem
to serve as selves for separating useful and
harmful light The useful red heat rays are al
lowed to pass, but the violet and ultraviolet,
which induce skin disease or other i'll effects,
are reflected.

A peculiar breed of dumesticated sheep, hay

the Bunden Oberland, Switzerland, and appears
called peat-sheep of the Swiss lake-dwellings.
Alarm is now felt at the present scarcity of the
animals. The breed is already nearly extermi-
mated through crossing, and another interesting
type of animal life will have disappeared in a
few years unless steps are taken to preserve it.

over, in the middle of the car tracks,
she turns around to look at a woman
who has passed her from the oppo-

woman's hat or the hang of the skirt
that has caused the other woman to
stop and take her in At any rate,
she stands there like a block of
stone, deaf to the changing of the
car bell and the shouts of the people
who see her danger. Finally, after
she has feasted her eyes on the hat

caught her fancy, she wakes up and

band and everybody else that the mo-

Five women a day, according to the
police reports, are hurt in the shop

vehicles running into them, says the

are serious, and demand the removal
of the injured persons to a hospital

of these accidents, crossing police

Mackinaw City, Mich, June 1.-THE
big car ferry st. Ignace turned turtle
While loading cars at st. Ignace and
went to the bottom of the slip in
twenty-four feet of water. For won
der the entire crew escaped without
injury. The list was caused by load
ing one side of the ferry with heavily
laden cars of iron ore with nothing on
the other side. to counter balance the
weight.
The sinking of the st. Ignace leaves
the railroads between the two Michi-
gan peninsulas with no means of trans
ferring their trains across the straits
of Mackinaw. The car ferry ST. Ma
RE is now in drydock at Detroit, but
IF here the steamer could not get into
the loading slip so long as the st. Ig-
mace is sunk there. The steamer Ago
NAH was at once put on the route, car
rying passengers, but the Algomah
cannot carry much freight and none at
all in cars. With the passage across

by a broken bridge and the car ferry

TEN DEAD, MANY INJURED.
Horrible Fate of Inmates of Chicago
Sanitarium.


Chicago, June 11.-Ten lives were
lost and about twenty-five persons in
jured in fire that destroyed the old
Woodruff hotel, Wabash avenue and
Twenty-frst street, lately occupied by
the ST. Luke society as hospital for
inebriates.
Nine of the victims were burned, as
the flames swept the five floors of the
building so rapidly that all chance of
escape was cut off. One man jumped
from fifth-story window and was
killed.
The long list of casualties was due
to the fact that many of the patients,
violent and uncomfortable, were men
acled, while others, in addition, were
bound fast to their beds.
William E. Kent, the blind alderman,
was one of the victims. His body was
found lying on the floor of his room
burned to a crisp. Most of the bodies
were charred beyond recognition.
Many of the seventy inmates of the
institution were badly burned before
being rescued and two were fatally
hurt by jumping from windows.
There were many heroic rescues by
the early arrivals at the fire. More
than thirty persons were carried down
the fire escapes; rescuers were badly
burned as they dragged the patients
from the building. In the panic that
followed the discovery of the fire many
were trampled on.
All the men who were burned to
death were penned in their rooms.
Those who escaped to the Railways
were either rescued or jumped from
the windows. Weakened by some af-
fiction for which they were under
treatment the victims were unable to
leave their rooms and many were
burned in their beds.

Total of Thirteen Deaths.

Chicago, June 11.-Of the thirty-four
,ersons injured in the st. Luke Society
hospital fire it is feared that three will
lie. thus bringing the total of deaths
% thirteen.
The other thirty-one injured persons
were reported better of their hurts,
but most of them were badly shaken
In their nerves by the horror of what
they endured and witnessed.
The eight men arrested are still
held, including o. E. Miller, president
of the st. Luke society. Miller is said
TO have lived in Denver at one time,
where he was in the banking business.
A search of the records of the health
department. failed to discover any rec
ord showing that the hospital had been
licensed according to the law.
Coroner Traeger sent his deputies
to view the victims of the fire, and de-
cided to postpone the inquest for a few
days till a complete investigation has
been made.
There will be full investigation"
said the coroner, land it may make
somebody uncomfortable. We will en-
deavor to discover if the patients were
strapped down, as reported, and if
there was a sufficient number of at
PENDANTS. If any one of the deaths was
due to negligence the guilty person or
persons will be made to pay the pen
atty
Perhaps the most pitiable of all the
deaths was that of Alderman Blind
Billy Kent. Not only was he totally
blind, but he was incas4d in a straight
jacket, with his hands strapped to his
waist. Kent was an astute politician
had oeen member of the state legisla-
ture and was delegate to the Repub-
lican NATIONAL conventions of 1884,
1888 and 1892. His blindness wasNdue
to a gunshot wound received at the
hands of saloonkeeper.
Samuel K. Markham, attorney for
the men under arrest, said that the So
ciety had applied several times for a
hospital license, but had always been
refused because the people in the
neighborhood of the hospital objected
to the location of such. an institution
near them. He said that Mr.. Miller
applied for license after the society
moved into the Hotel Woodruff, but
had not received it.
