LINES IN FINGER
NAIL 6 SHOW DEGENERAcY
Curious Theory Formed by German
Medical Expert as Result
Of Long Series Of
Investigations.

Berlin, July IA medical writer in
the Frankfurter Zeitung gives some
curious particulars about the white
lines which cross finger nails These
are signs o disturbance in the organ
ism at the time they were formed.
They often form during serious i'll
ness.
The proportion of normally consti-
tuted persons who have these lines
on their finger nails is from 10 to IL
per cent while 46 per cent of criminals
have them, AZ per cent of the demi-
monde, 43 per cent of idiots, and SO
per cent of lunatics Sufferers from
melancholia show a large percentage,
but the largest percentage-75-is
among those who are periodically dan
gerous lunatics.
The writer comes to the conclusion
that these lines denote some degener-
acy of the upper nervous system; that
they are not purely physical. but are
coDnected with physical moral, and
intellectual change.

StOrm in New York

New York, July S.--A terrific storm
here last Q, ening followed period Of
most intense heat There we're four
deaths from the heat and a score Of
more Of prostrations. Three deaths
directly traceable to the storm have
been reported, ard many persons
caught in the fury of the winds we're
injured.
At one time the gale blew at the
rate Of seventy-two miles an hour in
the upper part of New York. according
TO the weather bureau Many places
were struck by the lightning, whic'
played continuously for an hour or
more.
A great section Of the Manhattan
field fence was blown down. and there
was almos- a panic among the thou
sands OF men and women who had
gathered at the Polo grounds adjoin-
ing to witness the New York-St. Louis
game. The Polo grounds we're flooded
with a foot OF water, The game was
called on. and the attention Of the
officials and police was directed to
getting the half panic stricken base
ball enthusiasts to a place OF safety.
There were IN reality two storms,
but they blended into one. The Bronx
was the first to feel its effects, and
the lower section of that borough suf-
fered most. A wind of extremely high
veylocity swept from west to east. up-
roofing trees. smashing plate glass
windows, blowing pedestrians from
their footing and doing all kinds OF
damage. Apparently the storm was
in two divisions, one advancing down
tie valley OF the Hudson river and the
other approaching from the Long Is
land sound, which was torn into fury
by the force OF the wind. These two
divisions met over the lower Bronx
with dazzling displays Of electricity
The first wind storm vas followed by
heavy fail OF rain, like a cloudburst
in charactei and a shower of large
hailstones.
Fannie kinsler, a 6-year-old child,
frightened by the storm and blinded
by the rains, ran directly under
swiftly moving wagon and was killed
instantly.
John DoI1inick, a dock iaborer. was
knocked into the East river by a plank
which had been picked up by the wind
and was drowned.
The wind swept the ennbers of a bon
fire over the pinafore Of 3-year-old
Clarence IIaddon, and he was burned
to death.
Miss Mary Carman of Rockaway
Beach was dashed by the wind against
the FlatiroD building and SO badly
Injured that she had to be taken to
the New York hospital
Among the places struck by light
ming or damaged by the gale were the
Church OF the Divine Paternity on
Central Park west, the Hotel Norman
