Douglas MacAdams Says That
He Was Wrecked, Taken as
Spy and Sentenced to Be Shot

111S Broadway, Feb. 1S.
As the finis of a wild tale more re-
plete with alleged adventures and
miraculous escapes than the most Iurid
dime novel, Douglas MacAdams, aged
Is years, claims he was robbed of $50
this evening near Twelfth and Kirkham
streets While lying in an epiieptic fit.
His home is in Ballard, Wash. He says
he arrived here from the Orient -yester-
day on the transport Logan and was
en- route to his home when he was over
come by the fit. He was taken to the
Receiving Hospital.
His story, in brief, is that when he
was scarcely 16 years old he shipped on
the Arctic whaler Wyneria, which was
subsequently wrecked off the coast of
Siberia. He, was one of three survivors
20 reach the shore. From the point
where he was wrecked he worked his
way to Vladivostok From there he
went to Japan and entered the revenue
service Of that country. Leaving this,
he attempted to make a journey LIS
miles overland.
AT Hakata, Japan. he claims, he was
taken for a Russian spy and stoned
nearly to death by the populace. 1t was
here he received injuries to his head.
He was then cast into prison and SEN
fenced TO be shot, he asserts. Twenty
four hours before the alleged sentence
was to be executed the United States
ambassador at Toxic intervened, and
subsequently secured him passage to
the United States.
The skull Of the boy is punctured in
two places. When in a reclining posi-
ton the brain protrudes from these
apertures. 1t is not known how the
boy will reach his destination.

Fencing a Free Gift.

The municipality of Rheims was late
ly thrown into considerable consterna-
ton by the bequest from one of its citi-
zens of $50, 600 francs for the erection of
a fountain Now, Rheims is justly
famed for it's champagne. but It's water
supply is far from plentiful. and there
is none to waste on a fountain. The
municipality has therefore ordered it's
sculptor to make a fountain that shall
resemble a fountain as little as possi-
BILE. And the sculptor has carried the
idea still further by suggesting that
the Jets of water should be represented
in stone and bronze. The usual nymphs
and tritons would lend a plausible air
to this waserless scene. But the ques-
ton is whether this carries out the be-
quest of the benevolent citizen who left
his money to build public fountain.
On this opinion is hotly divided, and it
is probable that only Alice In Wonder

when fountain is not q Fountain

REAL WHITE BLACKBIRD
FOUND IN ENGLAND
The Scientific Explanation of the
Cause of the Strange
Phenomena.

A genuine albino- blackbird has just
been shot near 0atterick Bridge, York
shire. Scientific ornithologists have
clearly enough explained the physio-
logical nature of albinism in birds, but
it is still mystery, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, what originates these physio-
logical conditions, and also why 1t is
that very dark -plumaged birds, such
as blackbirds. rocks, ETC., are More liza
bic to ,albinism, pure or partial, than
any ether 1t is strange, for instance
that white robins are rare, and ii is
notable that the last found in this
country was obtainable in Yorkshire
tSedbergh DISTRICT. Last summer a
perfectly white sand martin was seen
by hundreds IN the Bentham york
shire) district and three or four in
ether parts of the north of England
House martins. also barn swallows
are liable to assume albinism, and
many records are preserved in York.
shire As for pied" blackbirds, rocks
and such like, they are as common as
the proyerbial blackberries. whereas in
the whole of England there are proba-
bly, not more than two records OF al
bino woodcocks.
