Nfte1tAfls TO Excursion Boats.


While the steamer Cape May, formerly
Republic, was coming to Chester wharf
last Saturday, the starboafd paddle wheel
caught up 9 log, which iammed between
the wheel and the paddle box. This
prevented the wheel from revolving and
the high winds forced the boat against
the stone bnlkhead. It struck SO hard
that ten feet of the side on the main
deck forward the wheel was crushed j n
and q portion of the railing on the upper
deck carried away. After the log was
removed from The wheel the Cape May
put back to Philadelphia for repairs.
While the steamer Thomas Clyde was
on her way to Woodland Beach last Sat-
urday the starboard paddle wheel picked
up log when below Reedy Island and
hurled it with such force as to open a
huge hole in the side at the purser's Of
flce. Through the hole water poured in
great volume and flooded the main deck.
This created a panic among the passen-
gers and a 'squall struck the steamer to
add to the excitement. No one was hurt
except the bumps and scratches SUSTAIN
ed in the scramble for life preservers.
Capt. ]. D. Ostram quieted the passen-
gers by telling them there was no danger
OF The boat sinking, and if there was he
could run her ashore in ten minutes. The
musicians struck up a lively tune and
the passengers were soon quieted. Be-
cause OF the rain and wind the Clyde
was turned up the river without going to
Woodland Beach.

Birds Too Destructive

At the meeting of the Salem County
Board OF Agriculture, held in Woodstown
on Wednesday, Prot. John B. Smith,
State Entomelogist, temporarily aband-
oned bugs for birds and spoke on what
Shall We Do With our Birds@ As birds
have eaten almost the entire cherry crop
OF this vicinity this year and have fed lib
orally on other fruits and vegetables, his
remarks were closely followed and caused
much discussion.
Prot. Smith classed robbins, catbirds
and ~blackbirds as mixed feeders, eating
fruit and vegetables as well as insects,
June bugs excepted) were the insects
injurious to crops, the increase in these
species was to be deplored. The robin,
being protected by law, had, in his opin-
ion, become a nuisance, and he would
advocate their restriction by having open
months for their shooting, as is done in
toe Southern States.

Wonders In Nature

A thousand wonders in nature are
lost to the human eye and only reveal
ed to us through the microscope. Think
of dividing a SPIDERS web into a thou
sand strands or counting the arteries
and nerves in the wing of gossamer
moth! Yet by the powerful lens of a
microscope it is found there are more
than 1000 muscles in a caterpillar.
The eye Of drone contains 1000 mir
rors, and the body of every spider is
furnished with four little Jumps pierced
with tiny holes, from each of which is
sues a single thread, and when a thou
sand of these from each lump are join
ed together they form the single line
of which the spider spins it's web and
which we call a spiders thread. Spi-
ders have been seen as small as grain
of sand, and these spin a thread so fine
that it takes 1000 of them put together
to equal in size a single human hair.

Governor LaFOllette into the circum-
stances Of the death of Grant Bray
ton, which occurred at the northern
hospital for the insane only three days
after the young man was committed
The family of the deceased has en-
gagged legal counsel.
Information concerning the death Of
BT&yt0n was received thirty-SiX hours
after his demise, though the distance
is only eighteen miles. The body was
subsequently, taken home and inferred.
Later it was eXhumed and some
startling discoveries were made. The
body had been horribly mutilated, as
was reported by the funeral director
1t was opened from the throat to the
pit of the stomach, the internal or
ganS had been removed and were re-
placed careleSSly. while "a portion of
the breast bone had been removed.
The skull had also been entered and
this cavity filled with cotton. The
brains were found scattered in the
abdominal cavity
The body was SO badly lacerated
that it could not be determined
whether the deceased was treated
with violence before the death or not.

The King Lacked Nerve.

baroness BOnde wrote in her diary
the following account of the abdication
of Louis Philippe of France on the
day of that remarkable occurrence;
An aid-de-camp of the minister of
war, who was in the kings cabinet
when he abdicated, gave me detailed
account of this most signal piece of
cowardice. He had reviewed the troops
IN the carrousel on horseback, highly
rouged, when a cry was raised, 'Voici
les FaubOur2s" No one had any Or
ders; no one gave any. The mob rush
ed forward, shouting, 'Vive Ia garde
natiOnales! INVENT les troupesr and
shook hands with the outposts. The
king retreated precipitately with his
sons, and sublieutenant Of the ma
tional guard rushed into the palace ask
ing to see him. He was admitted and
in the greatest agitation said, Your
majesty must abdicate' Very well,
says the king. In favor Of my grand
SON. No, Internationally says the
young and self elected mouthpiece of
public opinion. Would you believe it?
Of all who were congregated round the
royal person PiscatOry alone said: Go
down and head your troops. Fight for
your crown and your dynasty 7Ee
was overruled, and they all marched
out of the palace except the Duchesse
dOrleans, her children and the Due
de Nemours.'

Popular Cartoons.

The art of newspaper illustration in it's
present form is development of recent
years. Newspaper cartoons have become
a most popular feature of up-to-date
metropolitan daily papers. The unique
and catchy drawing now appearing daily
on the front page of The Chicago Rec
ord Herald is one of the many special
features of that great paper. The Rec
srd-Herald has been fortunate in secur-
ing one of the best young artists in the
country to carry out its popular policy
of presenting each day humorous and
good cartoon. Mr.. Ralph Will
der is one of the coming men in news
paper work. His success has been as
pronounced as it has been rapid. He
shows all of the good-natured humor
and the brighter side of everyday COM
mon life, which has carried his work to
a very popular success. His drawings
are on all of the various subjects of pop
ular interest, political and otherwise.
Current events are wildly portrayed in
way that pleases, yet often giving just
criticism in way that does not offend.
Through his excellent work on eastern
magazines Mr.. Wilder first attracted
universal attention. The Record -Harald
recognized in him at once cartoonist Of
unusual promise, and congratulates its
readers on having been fortunate enough
to engage him.

The Frogs Breathing.

The frogs skin is so important as 8
breathing apparatus that the creature
would die at once of suffocation if the
pores were closed by coat of sticky
varnish, by dust or in any other way.
While we are speaking of his breathing
you will notice that his sides do not
heave as ours do at each breath we
take. A frog has no ribs and cannot
inhale and eXhale as we do, but is
obliged to swallow his air in gulps, and
if you will watch this little fellows
throat you will see it continually NOV
ing in and out as one gulp follows an
other. In order to swallow, his mouth
must be closed. Just try to swallow
with your mouth wide open and you
will see what 1 mean. A frog, then, al
ways breathes through his nose, and If
you held his mouth open he would suf-
focate as surely as though you gave his
skin coat of varnish.-Woman'sH Home
Companion.

lie Burned Lots of Wood.

A veracious chronicler of the times
of Jonathan Edwards gives figures
which prove a liberal consumption of
fuel i'm the household of the great theo-
logan. In the winter of 174O-41 the
town of Northampton supplied the Ed
wards parsonage with seventy-five
loads of wood. In the next season
eighty-two loads were delivered. For
the succeeding winter the total was
seventy-eight, and year afterward the
astonishing quantity of ninety -five
loads was supplied. There was no lack
of fire at the Edwards hearth. Is it
wonderful, then, that he preached
burning sermons?
