who was brought 20 the Seattle Gen
eral hospital on an lnterurban car
from Kent last Wednesday morning
IN an unconscious condition. Han
son died this morning. shortly after
10 o'clock. without stating as 10
how he met with the Injuries that
caused his death. Acting Coroner
Wiltsie will hold post norton ex-
animation upon the dead mans re-
mains at the Bonney- Watson
morgue. where the body lies.
The attending surgeon stated %
a Star man this morning that he
was himself uncertain as TO the
cause % the mans death. but be
lleves that internal Injuries from
some unknown cause are response
BILE The man evidently has few
friends and Il Was only BY mere
chance that he was found before
death took place. Tie was found a
short distance north OF the Inter
urban depot at Kent and Il Is said
that he was lying IN such a place
that he could not have been struck
BY the cars. or II he was struck By
them. he must have crawled OF into
the deep brush.
People IN that vicinity. upon find
ing him unconscious and nearly
dead. notified the train crew and
the man was brought 10 this city
and taken to the hospital In the city
ambulance. A broken arm and sew
eral cuts about the head are all that
show externally. These would not
have caused death But a few
broken sentences Is all that Hanson
said since be was picked up BY the
train crew. They are unlntelliEible
and throw little IL any light on the
mystery.

BLOTTING PAPER.
1t Was Known and Used as Far Back
as the Year 1915


There is pretty prevalent belief that
blotting paper is a modern invention;
that a hundred years ago it was un-
known, white sand being used in its
stead.
Blottng paper, as a matter Of fact,
was recognized convenience of the
writing desk as far back as 1915. In
that year there was issued a book called
"Townsend's Preparative to Pleading" I"
a copy of which is in the possession Of
a Chicago antiquary, and this volume
contains on page 8 the following para
graph:
Let the busting or sanding in books
be avoided, rather using fine brown pa
per to prevent blotting if time of the
inks drying cannot be allowed, for
sand takes away the good color of the
ink, and, getting into the backs of
books, makes them break their bind
ing"
The sand that was used for blotting
in the past was, the Chicago antiquary
says, very clean and white and fine,
and it was called silver sand. 1t was
kept in cruet with a perforated lid,
like salt cruet, and thence 1t was
sifted over the wet writing. An odd
thing about it was that the ink never
seemed to stain it. 1t could be used
over and over and it remained to the
end as white as snow.
