Ohio, the Bay on the south, and
Lake Erie on the north, lies
beautiful historic island. It is a
mile long, and nearly half mile
wide. 1t was called Bulls Island,
from a former proprietor but about
nine years before the Civil War
Mr.. l.. B. johnson, of Sandusky,
bought it and in 1861 the Govern
ment rented it to use as a prison
for Confederate soldiers. A regi-

forts commanding sweep of the
island, also Il block house, while
the prison proper was an enclosed
stockade, the high fence wall, sim

There was also nm Army church
and cemetery. In this burying
ground lie two hundred soldiers of
the Sunny South. Their last rest

boards, with rank, name and ag e

the roll call of Eternity, cut with

With great presence of mind, the

FROG FAMINE IN TRENTON.
Scarcity of the Delfcacy In New Jer.
sey City Owing to Recent
Floods.

Trenton, N. j., is in the grip of a
frog famine" as a result Of the recent
food. There is probably no other city
of the size of Trenton that consumes as
many frogs legs in the run of the
year. They are always on hand in the
restaurants and hotels, and aristocratie
families are supplied directly from the
hunters, who command especially high
prices for their game.
The demand has been Of gradual
growth, and is no doubt due to the fact
that the city is surrounded by places
where frogs breed POLITICALLY. There are
streams, creeks, marshes, ponds, pools
and the low-lying hanks Of the Della
ware river-all productive of frogs.
A few years ago boys hunted frogs
and sold them for a few cents apiece.
The people acquired an appetite for
frogs legs that they cannot shake off
and now when they are obliged to pay
$3.50 pound for them they do so with
.out grumbling. A number OF men have
made a living in the hunting.
When the recent flood swept through
the Delaware valley the marshes
creeks, streams and pools were secured
out and the frogs and their feeding
grounds were destroyed.

STREET FATALITIES.
London Amazed mt Large Number OF
Accidental Deaths in New
York City.

The fact that 53S persons were killed
in the streets Of New York last year
by vehicles and railway cars caused
thrill of horror in London, where the
street traffic is excellently regulated.
From information obtained in Scotland
Yard 1t is learned the total number of
persons killed by accidents in the
metropolitan police district of London
with its 6SS square miles of territory
during 1902 was only 1871 OF these 112
were killed by wagons and carts and
81 by cabs. The street cars here are
not so numerous or so speedy, or ap-
parently SO dangerous, as in New York.
Five persons only were killed by cleo
trio cars, while the horse cars caused
the deaths Of six Omnibuses are re-
sponsible for the death of q. The
death rate for such accidents was less
than in 1901. The rules for the regu-
lating and guidance Of street traffic
in London are imperative, and the po-
licemen make 1t their duty to see these
rules carried out A bus driver or cab
man who attempts to pass when po-,
liceman holds UP his hand is speedily
dragged OF to the nearest police sta
tion and summarily disposed Of.

GREAT TUNNEL IN THE ALPS.
Troublesome Problem OF Cooling the
Air I'm the Stmplon Tube Has at
Last Been Solved. s


Recent dispatches have suggested the
probability that work upon the Simplon
tunnel In the Alps would be abandoned
because the hot springs encountered
made the heat so great that it could
not be borne. The difficulties, however,
have been solved.
For distance Of 6k miles the noun
tain has been penetrated on the north
and for AZ miles on the south side,
leaving 1h miles to complete it. A
duncture will be effected next year with
maximum of error in direction Of
seven or eight inches.
owing to the great height of the
mountains above the tunnel, the pres
sure is great, and the temperature of
the rocks and springs is corresponding
iy high. The greatest heat encountered
was 133 F. 1t is now 126. This tenn
perature, with water falling upon the
workmen, would injure them, but this
heat has been reduced by diluting the
air with cold from hydraulic mains.
To cool the air large volume Of fresh
air, the temperature of which has been
reduced by means of a high pressure
water spray, is sent up to the working
face Of the tunnel, where it is perfect
ly cool and fresh in contrast with the
foulness and oppressiveness usual in
other tunnels.
There is no sickness among the work.

presses the dust. There has not been

though 5000 men have been working

GIRL DoNs MALE CLOTHING.
Strange Craving for Adventure II
Found Disguised ms q Cabin Boy.

Bessie Barclay, the pretty 16-year-old
daughter Of H. A. Barclay, of Los An
geles, Cal, for the second time in the
last few months has driven her parents
to the verge Of distraction by running
away from her home in search Of adj
venture. About the middle of July Miss
Barclay suddenly disappeared and re-
manned away for week before she was
discovered staying with friends at Long
Beach.
The city marshal at Long Beach a
few days ago was again requested to
look out for her, but not finding her in
his bailiwick, went to San Pedro, where
she has been found through the detec-
tive work of Miss Faye Springer, whom
Marshal Williams enlisted to help him.
Bessie, dressed in boys attire, had
been working In San Pedro bowling al
ley, but, firing of this job, had secured
a position as cabin boy on one of the
vessels in the harbor. Here Miss Spring
er found her and easily persuaded her
to resume her right apparel and return
home. Miss Barclay is bright, pretty
girl, and her escapades are believed to
be due to desire to satisfy craving for
adventure.
