EIGHT HOTEL GUESTS
NABBED BY POLICE
They Were Unwelcome and Were
There for the Purpose of Keep
ing Warm.

Eight guests of the Claypool Hotel were
arrested last night and slated at the police
station on charges of lettering, but they
were not welcome guests at the hotel, nor
did they occupy beds, as most hotel guests
do at that time in the night. The eight
loiterers were newsboys, who, for the pur
pose of keeping warm. crawled into the
ventilator shaft on the Washington street
side of the hotel. A draft of hot air is
constantly forced out of the opening over
one Of the basement windows, and when
the boys were once on the inside they had
very comfortable place to sleep while they
were waiting for the morning papers to
come out. The ClaypoOl Hotel authorities
made complaint about the boys to the
police last night, and as a result six little
negroes and two white boys were given
ride to the police station in the IStrol
wagon. They were all locked up on
charges of lettering, and will be given
hearings before the police judge this morn
ing.

THE wISHBONE.
It's Importance Is Shown in the Turn
ing of Birds i'm Flight.
Boston Transcript.

At the last meeting of the Boston Scien-
tific Society c. J. Maynard, an authority on
birds, spoke of what proved to be very
timely topic, Why There is a Wishbone."
To begin with, the speaker depored the
lack of knowledge that exists regarding the
structure of the birds internally. For ex-
ample, said he lit is doubtful If five men
III the United States know much about the
anatomy of the common robin. The or
nthologists know all about external char
acteTS, the color, arrangement and number
of the feathers, methods OF flight. habits,
and the like, but exceedingly little about
the interiors of the birds they study"
ClassificatiOns have been made largely by
eXternals when study OF the anatomy must
be a very important part of the subject.
He had himself begun with the anatomy.
and more than twenty years ago, in some
of his publications. he dared TO separate
the owls from hawks. They have been
placed in the same order. and have So re-
manned till very recently. Now others have
separated them even more widely than Mr..
Maynard did so long ago. His deductions
were from knowledge Of the anatomy.
The wishbOne is called by scientists the
furcula, and Is In reality the union of what
are in man the two separate collar bones
These in the birds receive the brunt of the
strokes OF the wing that turn the creature
in its flight. Few realize the strength of

swan has heen known TO break a man S

habit of making sudden turns 10 right or

Origin of word Dumbben.
New York Tribune.


l wonder how many readers are aware of
the origin of the word "dumbbell." At
Knole. Lord Sackvilles grand old ancestral
county seat in Kent, there is a 'dumbbell
gallery" Located in the attic, il is UNI
furnished and empty except that in the
middle stands curious wooden machine,
resembling a w.nclass used for hauling up
buckets from draw well. But il has no
handles. y rope is wound round the mid
die of the roller and at each end are four
iron arms, each with poise or ball of lead
at the end; The rope formerly passed
through a hole which still exists i'm the
floor into the Leicester gallery below A
person by pulling the rope in this gallery
caused the roller, with the iron arms poised
with lead, 10 revolve at the hrst pull,
and the impetus given rewound the rope.
Thus il continued To wind and unwind at
each pull, giving the same exercise as that
of ringing a bell in a church tower. ex-
cept that il was noiseleSs
This dumbbell gallery and the contriv-
ance just described date back to Thomas
Sackville, first Earl OF Dorset, who was
master of knOle Park from 1903 TO 1908 and
investigation has shown that it was con-
structed for the sake of exercise old men,
oirs going to show that in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centunes bell-ringing was
part OF a gentleman's education and prac-
tice.
The contrivance in the dumbbelI gallery
at knOle Park was, therefore, destined to
keep the gentlemen of the establishments
in proper physical training and to furnish
them with adequate bodily exercise. There
was nothing that kept the muscles in such
good trip as bell ringing. That was why a
dumbbell was rugged UP in the house. not
only at Knole Park, but likewise in other
equally ancient country houses of the Eliz-
abethan and Jacobean eras. BY degrees
everything that was destined 10 develop
the muscles OF the arms received the name
OF dumbbelis. and the small iron dumbbelIs
which we use to-day are merely the SUBJ
stitutes of the somewhat cumbersome piece
OF dunbbeIl machinery still in existence
az knole Park.

SUBSTANTIAL BRIDGES
FAVORED BY THE MAYOR
He Fears Repetition Of Fate
That Overlook Old Washington
49, Street Structure.
SENTIMENT is GROWING

The havoc wrought by the foods and ice
OF the last few days in White river and
Fail creek has strengthened the opinion of
many people of this city that the thing that
Is needed in Indianapolis is a series OF
new bridges, that shall be OF such a sub
stantial character as 10 be equal to all the
demands of traffic and all the varying con-
dttions of ice and water for many years TO
come. This opinion has gained currency,
and is voiced emphatcally By many Of the
prominent business men and property hold
erS OF the city.
These men advance the argument that to
attempt To repair the bridges that are now
II disuse by reason Of the damage inflicted
on them by Thursdays ice gorges would
De only TO invite repetition OF the same
damage. with its attendant vexatious and
costly interruption of traffic, and 10 pave
the way for additional expenditures OF
money for repairs and maintenance. 10
Guild new bridges, while IL would mean an
immense outlay OF money at the start, would
insure TO the city adequate and reliable
bridge facilities, independent OF season or
weather conditions, and would operate IN
the interests OF economy IL the long run.
FAVORED BY MAYOR.
The question of new bridges to replace
those damaged by ice and high water was
preached to Mayor Hoffman last even
ing. He expressed himself as being heart
lily in sympathy with the opinion voiced
by other men Of the city, and regarded
new bridges as the only reasonable way TO
avert like trouble in the future.
New bridges ought to be built. in my
opinion" stated the mayor, land they
ought 10 be OF such kind as 10 last for
ever, or for long a time as human in
genuity can devise. To repair the old
bridges now out OF commission would mean
An expenditure Of money every year or
30 for additional repairs, with the added
risk OF a repetition OF this affair OF the
last two days. Then there is the constant
danger Of the possibility OF another such
accident happened the old Washing
tOn-street bridge before the movement was
started for new one. That bridge had
just been examined and pronounced safe,
and so it was SO far as human judgment
could discern. But IL broke down, and IL
IS not unreasonable TO expect repetition
of that disaster some one of the old
bridges that must be repaired If they are
not displaced by new ones"
When questioned as to the type of bridge
that would be best for the city to build
Mayor Hoffman stated They should be
opinion the latter are preferable to stone.
They are more economical and at the same
time, / believe, more durable than stone
bridges. Concrete has come into marked
favor with builders Of big structures of
late and | Of opinion that il can be
proven 10 be all that is claimed for il as
building material. The fact that the New
York Central Railroad is replacing its stone
and steel bridges with concrete is a con-
that type. We have two good examples Of
