FINDS FoUR-LEGGED CHICKEN.
BOxtOninn Discovers Il Curiosity in
the Fowl Line In the Rhode
Island Red Variety.

M. Goodman, of Minot street, Bos-.
ton, is showing his friends four
legged hen which he purchased In
Pittstield, Me-, Il short time ago. So
far as known this is the only bird Of
Its kind in the world.
you will notice." said Mr.. Goodman
to a reporter the other morning, that
the tail grows on the right side OF
the bird, and yet does not interfere
with the use of its wings.
1.-TWO Of the legs grow in the Or
binary manner and support the body.
The other two are perfectly normal,
except that they grow backward in
stead of downward, and the feet are
carried closed most of the time.
"Shc weighs three and one-haIf
pounds and was Matched on May S
last" he added, showing the bill OF sale
as evidence.
The bird is of the Rhode Island red
variety, and so highly does the owner
prize it that instead Of shipping it liz
rectly home he kept it with him during
q four weeks business trip.
The chicken seems to be in perfect
health, and, in the words Of the own
er, "she likes to have you watch her.
See her strut"

GRAY HAIR AND X-RAY.
Another Sensational Claim Made for
the Miracle LiGht-ImprObabi lity
of ITS Success.

The N-ray seems destined in many
ways to pay the penalty of all sorts of
sensational reports as to its supposed
efficacy in treating intractable diseases.
AS might have been expected, its claims
have been very much exaggerated, even
In cases that offered plausible excuses
for their possible vindication.
The latest news is to the effect that
this mysterious agency is capable of re-
storing gray hair to it's original color.
How such an effect can be brought about
GO one attempts to explain. Nor would
1t be wise to offer any reason for it says
the New York Herald, in the face of GER
tain weil-known facts connected with
the physiology Of hair and it's anatomi-
cal character
All very we'll know that the color of
the hair is part of its nutrition and is
dependent upon the secretion of a pig
ment i'll certain cells in it's substance.
When the hair loses its pigment vitality
grayness ensues as natural evolution
AIRY process. The youthful tinse disap-
pears by a common law of progressive
decay as age advances. The hair itself
becomes virtually color dead, and all
efforts to restore its former life are adj
mi!tedly as futile as similar efforts to
revivify other defunct processes.
But now the N-ray must come in as
an alleged miracle worker and give new
hopes for the gray heads. Alas! many
Of the latter are desperate enough in
their vanity to try any new thing that
may present itself. To such it may be
necessary to sound note of warning.
Even if it should prove to be fact
that the N-ray can do what is claimed,
The remedy is certainly dangerous one
to become popular. If Several hundred
exposures" are required, not only will
great deal of valuable time be lost in
the sittings and many fees eXacted, but
the positive damages ensuing after such
prolonged treatment are not to be light
ly considered. How to avoid the terri
bic Nray burns, which sometimes occur
even with experts is still a great prob
lem. Edison, in a recent interview in
the Herald, emphasized this fact in
manner not to be misunderst God. Thus
there may be a chance, with such as may
be determined to try the new thing, for
the traditional "old fool" to multiply
himself over the land.

SILK IMPORTS ENORMOUS.
StatisticH by Department of Cons
mercc shows Large Increase in linz
p0rtntiOn of the Raw Article.

The imports of raw silk in the fiscal
year recently ended were the largest
in the history of the government.
Statistics just compiled by the depart
ment of commerce and labor, through
its bureau Of statistics, show that for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1908.
1921, $40 pounds of manufactured
silk, valued at $5OO1 $40, were i'm
ported, as compared with 1920, 900
pounds in 1902 and lO.400.O00 in
1901. From this silk our manufacture
ers will make finished products valued
at over SIZE, 000, 900.
Many attempts have been made to
produce raw siln in this country. AS
early as 1923 mulberry trees were re-
CURED to be planted by all settlers in
Virginia. and some silk was grown in
TIE early days of the colony In the
second quarter Of the last century the
cultivation of silk seemed to give
promise of success, but the enterprise
degeneratcd into a speculation in Chi
nese mulberry trees, and ended in ut
ter failure The recent experiments Of
the department of agriculture are
again directing attention to the prac-
ticability of raising on our own farms
share at least of this material,
which forms SO considerable part of
our imports.
During recent years the importation
of raw silk has increased almost con-
tinuously, until in the fiscal year just
closed it amounted to over $50,000,000.
The nearest approach to this value was
in 1900, when forty-five and one-thrd
millions of dollars worth was i'm
ported.

Near Toensberg, Norway, a Viking
ship was discovered recently buried in

summoned to supervise the excavation.
After some digging it became appar-

GREAT DAMAGE BY RAQslll<G C FLOODS

sey Cities of Paterson and PassSAic~ Ruin
Along the Alta rite Coast

Paterson, N. j., Oct 13.-The people
of this unfortunate city are beginning to
realize the extent OF the great flood which
began last Friday. Nearly two entire
wards, taking in the manufacturing Sec
ton, have been under water since that
day. Monday morning thousands Of
men, women and children employed in
different mills and factories found they
could not so to work on account of those
places being smut down. A great many
of these people have also been driven
from their homes and have neither food
nor shelter. The heaviest damage in
Paterson was to the manufacturers. At
present it is impossible to give an &C.
curate idea of the total loss, but con-
sentative estimates are about So 100000
The police and firemen have been
steadily engaged since Saturday morn
ing in the work of rescuing families from
the upper floors or the roofs of their
houses in the flooded district and the
work is still going on.
The health authorities have difficult
task before them in devising means to
prevent an epidemic of sickness in the
flooded territory. The people who were
forced to leave their homes will not be
allowed to return until the districts are
in sanitary condition.
Flood Conditions Improved.
Passaic, N. j., Oct 13.-The flood con-
ditions in this city and vicinity were con-
siderably improved Monday. The high
water mark at the Dundee dam, which
was 911a inches at midnight, had fallen
two feet Monday. All danger of a break
at the dam is now thought to be past.
Wellington is still under water and sew
eral hundred persons are still taking
refuge in the public schools. Four or five
hundred residents of Wellington are
being sheltered in the town hall and
school buildings at Passaic.
The total loss from the flood in this
city is estimated at about $2,00O,0O0,
without any insurance. This does not
include the loss to workmen who are
thrown out of employment temporarily
or the loss sustained by manufacturers
by the interruption to business Nearly
