THOUSANDS WALKED.
A Strike on Long Island Suburban
Road on Sunday.

New York. Aug. 1O--Thousands OF men,
women and children who spent Sunday
at nearby Long Island resorts had great
difficulty in getting back to this city owing
to strike Oh the New York and Queens
county electric lines running out of Long
Island City on account of which police re-
serves We're on duty during the night: If
the plans of the motormen and conduc-
tors had been carried out not a car wheel
would have turned in that section, but on
ly about one hundred men went out on
strike at the behest of their leaders and
more than half the cars ran for time
Nevertheless thousands had to walk to
the ferries and the entire police force re-
serves and all were ready to cope with
more serious situation.
The trouble was said to be due to the
suspension of four men last Wednesday
and the subsequent refusal of the railroad
company to take them back. Later, de-
nand was made for union recognition and
a meeting was called. Only about 100 men
attended. but they decided on inaugural
ing a strike and called another meeting at
which they expect to have better success
in calling out the employees.
The trolley line involved is part of the
Queens county system recently purchased
by a New York trust company for a syndi-
cate whose members are still unknown.
The deal involved many millions of dol
lars.

Himself

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 1O.-Kent Stowe,
son of F. S. Stowe, general manager of
the Merchants Dispatch and Transpor-
tation company in this city and resid-
ing at so Richmond avenue, shot his

fatal result.
Stowe had been suffering from ma
larial fever, but was about again and
yesterday he and his wife were out for
a long drive, returning during the even
ing in good spirits. They have an in
FAINT child, a year old, which Stowe is
said to have brought down stairs this
morning and left with his parents. A
few minutes later his father heard pis-
tol shots from above and rushing up
stairs found his daughter-in-law dead
and his son unconscious.
Mr.. Stowe, ST., believes that his son

How Long Man May Live.

1t was Professor Hufeland's opinion
that the limit of possible human life
might be set at 200 years; this on the
general principle that the life of nearly
all living creatures is eight times the
years, months or weeks of it's period of
growth. That which quickly comes to
maturity quickly perishes, and the ear
lier complete development is reached
the sooner bodily decay ensues. More
women reach old age than men. but
more men attain remarkable longevity
than women. Horned animals are short
er lived than those without horns,
fierce longer than timid and amphibi-
Gus creatures longer than those which
inhabit the air. The pike will continue
to live for $50 or 175 years, and the
common turtle is good for at least
century. Passing up the scale of life
to man and skipping the patriarchs, we
find many recorded instances of ex-
traOrdinary longevity.
The ancient Egyptians lived three
times as long as the modern lotus eat
ers." Instances of surprising and au-
thentic longevity among the classic
Greeks and Romans are not at all rare.
Pliny notes the fact that in the reign
of the Emperor Vespasian 76 A. d.
there were 124 men living in limited
area on the river Po who were 100
years old and upward. Three of these
were 40 and seven others over 130.

TO the surface. it incloses an air bubble
