STROKE AFFECTS NERVES
Lightning Strikes Building Occupied
by Part of Regiment-Attend-
ant Results Interesting.

1t is with great rarity, says the New
York Medical Record, that one is
enabled to observe the effects of light
ming on the animal organism on such
a large scale as has been studied by
Ripe, who reports that a building oc-
cupied by three squadrons Of a Rus
sian dragon regiment was struck by
lightning. There were 20 men in the
building at the time. One man and a
horse were killed, and all the Others
were more or less severely injured
Post norton examination of the dead
man and. horse revealed as the mosi
important abnormities hyperaemia Of
the brain and it's membranes, haemor-
rhage into both h~emispheres, augmen,
tatlon of the s~ubarachnoid fluid, and
congestion of the internal organs, es-
pecially the lungs, liver and kidneys
The symptoms In the survivors were
the severest on the part of the nerv
u system. All the men were rem
dered unconscious, and in some in
stances there were commissions, de
lirium. and other signs Of conclusion
Of the brain. All these symptoms dis

B00KL0vE RS.

The power of human personality is
stronsgly impressed on the reader of
the September number of The Book
lovers Magazine. Three strong men
of the age, strong in widely-differing
degrees-Minister Witte, "Boss''
Paltt, and the late q. f. Watts-are
the subjects of three most interesting
articles in this number. Beyond its
obvious timeliness. Mr.. N. T.. Bacon's
estimate of "Russia's Ablest States
man. is in reality a we'll balanced
and well-informed resume of the state
of Russia's internal affairs, much
more valuable than columns of war
news. MI. Joseph M. Rogers had
one for Platt what he recently did for
Quay-painted him to the life.
The art feature of the September
number of The B~ooklovers Magazine
are si~ngularly rich. Mrs. Marcia
Cakes Woodbury's four pictures of
little Clutch Children" repi odaced
in color, are particularly quaint n
charming.
The articles in the September issue
possess variety and vivacity. Profess
sor Porrott, of Princeton, gossips
most entertainingiy about "Social
Life in Old Edinburgh" when high
thinking no less than high living was
the rule, and men had good red blood
in their veins. Harold Bolce's con-
triboution is on PHASES of RAILROAD
ing in Japan and is almost interest
ing account of oriental customs and
contrasts.
The story for September is called
"The Maid of the Mist" 1t is q
bright study of the artistic tempera-
ment, with alternatlons of light and
shade SO typical Of that precious yet
most trying endowment. The writer
is Miss Katherine Metcalf Roof.
The World of Print is, as usual, full
of pictures and print from the latest
foreign and domestic periodicals.

SUCCESS.

There are four up-to date articles.
in the September Success that should
attract considerable attention through
out the country. They indicate the
growing interest among magazine
readers for authoritative matter about
the great men and the great questions
of the day. In this line of work, Sue
cess is rapidly taking a front place
among the monthlies.
The first is an article by Judge AL
ton Brooks Parker, entitled, 'Educa-
ted Men in Politics. The whole
country has been waiting to hear
Judge Parker say something, and in
Success he has given his views on a
matter of very greatsiuportance.
The second article is by Alfred
Henry Lewis. 1t is a comparison of
Andrew jackson and Theodore Roose
welt, showing that a marked Similarity
exists in the two presidents. The ar
ticle gives Mr.. Roosevelt's opinion of
cold Hickory" who, he said to Mr..
Lewis, was the greatest president. ex.
cept Lincoln. that this country ever
had.
The third article, entitled "What
1t Costs to Elect.a President :" is by
Walter Wellman. Mr.. Wellman tells
tho public where the great political
parties get the immense sums OF
money with which they conduct a
campaign, and how that money is dis
tributed.
The fourth article is by Vance
Thompson, and is one of his series of
Diplomatic Mysteries" now RUM
ing in success. In this instalment Mr..
Thompson describes the secret service
sytsem which the Sultan of Turkey
operates in Europe, and the silent
manner in which important diploma
tic lettersf rom n nation to another
are opened and read.
Besides these four leading features,
Success has several good stories and
special article by such writers as
Rebecca Harding Davis, James A.
Bailey, Dorothy Dig, Mrs, Burton
Kingsland, Holman f. Day, Nixon
Waterman, Walter Barr. Robert
Mackazy and J. George Frederi ok.
The department ".People We Read
About, contains the photographs and
short sketches of men and women
whom everybody should know. The
number is exceedingly time and in
teresting.

CENTURY.

Following It's Western" "Fio
tion' hnd "Mids ummer Holiday
numbers, the September number of
The Century will likewise have a
special character. 1t is called a
Round. the World" number and the
name is justified by the geographical
distribution of the text and pictures.
Appropriate to this idea are two draw.
ings by Castaigne, 1.-THE Flying
Dutohman'' and "The Wandering
Jew" which are printed as fronts
pieces.
The opening article is the first il
Illustrated account in English of the
canonization of Saint Seraphim, the
Russian popular saint, at Sarov last
August, in which the Czar and GA
rina took part. 1t is entitled 1.-THE
Russian L~ourdes'' and is written by
David Bell Maogowan, II Of two
English speaking spectators, and the
illustrations include views by Of the
Gar and Czarina in the professions.
The poems are for the most part in
keeping with the spirit of the number.
One ON "The Cape of Good Hope, y
By Katharine Lee Bates, is illustrated
by McCarter.. A group of "Songs of
the Sulu Sea-" by Edward Barron,
takes the reader to a new region.
We have reserved to the last what is
probably the most important article
in the number, Professor Henry Fair
field Osborn s first paper in his group
on "Fossil Wonders of the West"
This paper is devoted to the dinosaurs
Of the Bone-C Cabin Quarry in Wyoming
being a description of the greatest
single find of fossils in theIworld, and
Of the scientific work which has been
done there during the past few years.
It will be in the nature OF a revelation
to the scientific world, and, like most
of the other articles in the number,
is fully illustrated.

however, thatnehis wffe's name ap-
peared in the sdYertised delinquent

He said that. he owned two lots, one
in his own. and the other in his wife's

he called upon Mr.. Rasmussen for an
explanation. That was the first he
knew of the name being in the list.
Mr.. Rasmussen then called at the
Newsyoffice with the result rs stated.
Friday the News had an editorial
on the subject, explaining that there
must be some mistake and urging Mr..
Rasmussen to,call at the collectors
office, which he had refused to do.
To-day Collector Hall called at the
News ofiUe and asked for some parti-
ouIars with the result that he dis
the.name Mary Rasmus-
sen had become confused with Mary
Anderson, whose name is directly
under the other on the books. Both
properties are taxed for exactly the
same amount and in making out the
list the wrong name was taken. by
examining the books it was easy to
see how such a mistake could have
been made. Mr. Hall stated that he
would,be ONLY tpo willing to rectify
any mistake at any time and the
prompt manner in which he ferreted
out this matter proves his statement.
Mr.. Rasmussen could have gotten the
matter fixed very readily before by
calling'at the collectors office. AS
the News stated yesterday, mistakes
are bound to happen and a little
patience will bring things out all
right. VII.

ILLINOIS sTATELlNE STOLEN
Lake Michigan End Of Mark Disap-
pears and Special Survey Will
Be Necessary.

The Lake Michigan end of the state
line between Indiana and Illinois has
been lost or stolen, and the police of
two states are hunting for it. The
mark for years has been a stone at
One Hundred and Eighth street and
Indianapolis avenue. On one side was
cut the word Indiana" and on the
other illinois," The stone was four
feet long and two feet high, one and
a half feet projecting above the ground.
Not only has it been removed, but
the hole from which 1t was taken has
been filled, so no one can tell exactly
where it stood. The police believe
some householder, more thrifty than
honest. has imbedded the stone in the
foundation of a residence of used it as
a base for a lawn flower pot.
The next boundary stone is five miles
inland, and a survey will have to be
made from that point before the place
for a new Lake Michigan mark can be
established.
