Pigmies seem to have existed in Eu- rope until quite modern times. although the race is now known only in the cen traI part of Africa. A German ethnolo- xist, c. Thilenus finds that some skele- tons exhumed near Breslau. in Slesia, show an average height of only feet g inches, and Swiss remains described by Kollman were but feet inches in aver age height. Even smaller were the re- mains recorded by Gutmann from Lower AIsace, near Colmra, some specimens measuring not more than 1 feet. These pignies were well formed and fully de- veIoped. and 1t appears that those of Si- lesia must have lived as recently as 1000 A D.
 Not least in importance among recent apparatus Is the oxygen-acetylene blow pipe. AS a source of high temperatures. it fs much less expensive and more cOnven- lent than the electric furnace. and il yields greater heat than the oxy-hydro- gem blowpipe-from which it differs only Tn the use of acetylene instead of hydro ran-with no difficulty m obtaining the comhustibIs gas. It can give a tempera- tura of more than 4.000 degrees C., fusins any of the ordinary metals, while the highest limit of the oxy-hydrogen blow nine is about 3,0O0 degrees.

 Filling the pores with sugar has some what surprising effects upon wood. The process, as devised by w. Powell of LiV- erpool, consists in immersing the wood in heated sugar solution for some hours. the time varying with the wood, and then driving off all moisture in an oven. No previous seasoning is necessary. The spongy fiber Is converted into a compa ct ligneous substance, and it acquires great ly increased durability and strength, with resistance to changes of temperature and moisture an deven to fire. 4 special ad- vantage is that the softer and cheaper and even defective-woOds can be made to serve many purposes Tn place of ex- pensive hard woods. The sugar does not dissolve out, and it does not promote | fermentation and the growth of destruc- tive organisms. but it produces some re-

Watchman Discovered the Men at
 Work and Opened Fire Half a Hun

 His Assistance, But the Prowlers,

Rockville, Sept Burglars whe. made an attempt to blow open the safe in the railroad station on the line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad here early to-day, were driven off after an exchange ot shots with the night watchman, and although no one was injured several, had narrow escapes. Residents who were awakened by the first shots joined the watchman and half hun dred shots were fired before the men escaped. They carried with them SIS which was secured by breaking open the cash drawer in the Western Union telegraph office.
 The burglars numbered four, two. watching on the outside and two work ing inside tile building. Entrance was effected through one of the win dows, from which the glass was re- moved. The men apparently had been at work but a few moments when the night Watchman, who patrols the sec ton of the town near the railroad sta tion appeared He was confronted Dy two men, revolvers in hand, who or dered him to throw up his hands. The burglars attention was attracted for a moment by the appearance of thelr companions from the inside and the watchman succeeded in running around a corner of the building, al- though several shots were fired at him. From this point he opened fire at the men,, who stood their ground, and re turned his shots until he was Joined by a number of citizens. Then they made off. Nearly all of the shots fired ap- parently were aimed high, as mum Der of buildings in the vicinity bear the marks of bullets. One man who raised his window to look out had 8 narrow escape, bullet passing within two inches of his head and lodging in the framework of the window.
 Inside the railroad station it was found that the burglars had made pre- parations to blow open the safe.

 hurdle jumping, keen driving compe- titions, an admlraDle dispiay of horse flesh and an ouIpouring of cottagers and guests, many of them prominent New York and Boston residents, were the features of the show which was opened here today by the Lenox Horse Show association. The exhibit was the largest ever held under the auspices of the Lenox organization. Highland farm, the beautiful estate of William Douglass Sloane of New York, had been arranged with unusual care for the occasion.
 There were 25O entries in twenty classes, which were judged by Charles F. Williams of Stonington, Conn, and 0. l.. A. Whitney of Albany, N Y.
 Society came out in large numbers and there were many well known men of coaching and driving fame at the ringside.
 In the first class of exhibits, farm teams, William D. Sloane. George Westinghouse, William D. Curtis and John S. Barnes were competitors. Then came the class for pairs suitable for runabouts or other light traps for the country with twenty-five entries.

TROLLEY LINES CRIPPLED.
Power House Burned-The Loss Was
 S1OOOO0.

New York, Sept 19.-Trolley lines around New Rochelle, on the Long Island shore, were completely tied up early to-day by the burning of the Union Railway Co.'S power house. The loss Is estimated at $100.000. Many persons living in New Rochelle and nearby places were on their way home from attending a first night theatrical performance when the power was cut off, and some of them had to walk several miles to get to their homes
 The fire drove the engineers from the engines without giving them time to shut off steam. and the great en- zines and dynamos ran steadily while the building burned and fell around them The police did not dare allow people to come near the fire for fear of an explosion of the boilers, and they experienced great difficulty jn keaping the crowd back.
 The power is ~cut off on the lines from New Rochelle to Mount Vernon. Tsarchmont Tuckahoe and Glen Island. It is. said no nower will be available until new plant can be erected. so that the commuters on the north shore apparently are in a position for becom- ing expert pedestrians.
