BUILDING WAS A BATTERY.
Story Structure in Kansas City
Struck by Lightning Becomes
Charged with Electricity.


A nme-story brick, stone and iron
building charged with 500 volts OF cleo
tricity.
Such was the unusual condition that
prevailed at building in Kansas City
for three days, according to City Elec-
trician Bert Haldeman.
The lightning entered the building and
affected some of the insulation until all
the motor power running into the build
ing for the elevators became grounded
on the ironwork of the elevator shafts
From there Mr.. Haldeman said it spread
to every portion of the iron structure OF
the elevators and shafts, three in num-
Der, and ran along till the parts OF the
building charged with the heavy current
were so numerous that a shock was liable
to be encountered any minute. With the
full force of 500 volts this would have
proved fatal. but fortunately conditions
about the building prevented the one
man who did get shock from expert
encing its full force.
S. B. Robertson, one of the officials OF
the company, said that fortunately only
one man received the force of the derelici
current strong enough to be shocked al
all, and that was himself. He had not
been affected by the current, be said
Touching any part of the affected por'
lions with iron or steel would result II
a sharp flash and display of electricity
lighting the room up. Some Of those il
the plant were beginning to get nervous
when Mr.. Robertson had Mr. Haldemar
summoned. He shut of the currents
and set a force of men at work to re-
establish normal conditions.

MANY ALIENS ARE CRIMINALS
Report of Commissioner General of
Immigration Shows Alarming
Condition of Affairs.

Mr. F. F. Sargent, commissioner gen
eral of immigration, has made public the
first installment of his report on the
number of alien criminals found in the
penal institutions of the country In
Pennsylvania there are 5,6O1 aliens in
the penal institutions of the state, 1924
males and III females.
In IL states, including New England,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware and Maryland, there are 28.135
aliens in the public institutions. penal
and charitable, and 3s4 are serving SEN
fences for murder The Irish lead in
New England, and of murderers so per
cent. are Italians and 20 per cent, are
Slavs.
In Pennsylvania these alien criminals
and paupers numbered 1 ,772 Slavs, 1,21S
Irish. LOIS Germans, 673 Italians, 423
English, 1873 Scandinavians, 81 Scotch,
"a French, 45 Welsh and Ill all other
races.
Mr. Sargent believes that an investiga-
ton will show a large proportion Of
aliens in the penal and charitable insti-
tutions of the whole country, and these
figures Will be a convincing argument
in favor of more stringent regulations
governing immigration.

Dollars.

and thoroughly sympathetic, though
impersonal, friendship.

also devoted to each other. A wager
was made as to which couple would be
married first and Johnson and Miss Will

DOCTORS ARE POORLY PAID
Physicians in London Hospitals Aver
age But S37o a Year, with
Board and Lodging.

Correspondence recently printed in
London newspapers calls attention to
the smallness of the salaries paid to
house physicians in London hospitals
Out of 20 examples selected, the aver
age salary is about 1870 a year. in ad-
dition to board and lodging. At ST.
Bartholomew hospital, one of the
largest in London, not only is no sail
airy paid, but the hospital doctors have
to pay their own living expenses.
The result in all cases is the selee-
ton of physicians according to the
money they have and not through fir
ness, as only men possessing private
resources are able to take hospital
posts. There are many instances
where excellent men have thus been
excluded from appointments which are
filled by less skilled young doctors
who happen to be Weather.

The Pupils Recital" at the home
of Mrs. E. C. Wilson last Saturday
afternoon proved a very pleasant
affair. About sixty of the parents
and friends we're present. Each
piano pupil played three or four
selections. Each one seemed at her
very best and played with an ease,
grace and skill that was surprise
and delight to the audience.
The piano selections were inter-
spersed with songs by the vocal
class, rounds, a drill in note read
ing and singing Duets and solos.
Altogether it made very pleasing
and instructive program.
Mrs. Wilson spent so many years
in this work that she has teaching
down to fine art, and her pupils
all show the same thoroughness
and vigor in their work.
