Balance Man and His Peril.

Dearborn and Monroe streets were
blockaded by an army Of people who
intently watched a structural iron
worker standing on a fve-ton steel
beam swinging from a derrick seven
stories up in space. From time to
time the steel worker shifted his posi-
ton on the beam. Every time he did
so he blew whistle that he held be-
tween his teeth. With this he signal.
ed the engineer, who controlled the
derrick.
Few of the thousands who saw the
man knew his perilous position was
due to precaution taken for their
safety. The steel worker was not on
the beam solely because Of his own
daring. He was there to shift his $50
pounds avoirdupois to balance the
beam and keep it level and from fall
ing into the street.
Such an accident would result not
only in his death. but might lead to
frightful loss of life in the street. To
prevent this the workman aScends on
the beam to keep it level. In order to
do this he has to step from side to
side of the huge derrick cables as occa-
sion requires Most workmen who
ride beams" never look down. On
the contrary, they always keep their
eyes on the cable at point even with
their head. This guards against sea
sickness, which frequently attacks one
when at great heights with nothing
more than a foothold.-Chicago Rec

JAPANESE AS SCIENTISTS.
They Have Contributed Much to Mod
ern Information.


While all the world is at one in eX-
pressing admira ton for the remark
able facility with which the Japanese
have imbibed Western ideas and the
no less wonderful skill with which
they have applied them in so short d
time, yet there is noticeable a frequent
disposition to detract somewhat from
their merit in this regard by the OBJ
servation that, after all, they are mere
ly imitators, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. Even admitting that
the suggestion were unqualitiedly true,
the imitation would still remain suf-
ficiently marvellous to stamp the Jap
anese as people Of ability greatly
superior to those belonging to the same
ethnic division. But, as a matter Of
tirely copyist as many imagine; and
in one particular direction it has
shown aptitude that has resulted in
original and important contributions.
An exchange calls especial atten-
ton to what the japanese have done
in the way of biological research and
the simple statement Of their triumphs
in this difficult field is calculated to
rouse both establishment and admira-
ton. In their contributions to our
tsms," it says, the japanese are push
ing German and French experiment.
ers for the first place and are far
ahead Of those Of Great Britain or the
United States" A partial enumeration
of their successes in this field places
to their credit the first segregation and
description Of the specific germ Of
tetanus, feat which was at once fol-
lowed by the preparation of an ex-
tremely useful tetanus antitOXin, and
the discovery Of the bacillus chiefly
responsible for dysentery, which is SO
fatal to soldiers in time of war. These
are probably the most important, but
many other additions to biological sci
ence have come from Japan, and the
unintermitting labors of her scholars
will no doubt bring forth still further
results.
Studies in this line, however, while
gaining for the Japanese the greater
part of the prestige they may enjoy in
the scientific world, by no means sum
up the whole of the efforts of the
scholars Of the country. The active
minds Of the nation, newly awakened,
seeing everything with the freshness
Of youth and working with the zeal Of
young devotee, are seriously con-
corning themselves with other investi-
cations and that too, with unques-
toned success. By such means is the

her ancient isolation and preparing to
take a place among the nations of the
world to which the care and advance
ment of science are largely cOnfided.

CLEAR The ROAD

In boyhood days we used to 90,
When winter winds blew chill,
With rudy cheeks and nimble feet,
To coast down Martins Hill.
There was no hating on TIE way,
No one steerrd out or slowed
We sped like mad down Martins Hill,
And shouted Clear the rOad."
Then one by one we put away
The much-bcloved sled,
And journeyed forth into the world.
Ambitions path to tread.
We babe good-by to Martins Hill
And youthhood's sweet abode,
And shouted in an undertone
For men to Clear the road!'
We found along the paths of trade
Another Martins Hill;
With men at break-neck pace acoast,
With voices loud and shrill
Who never halted on their way
Where fortunes fancies glowed,
Who shouted loud from morn till night
That warning. Clear the road.'

It is stated on good authority that

have been released from the service

and violation of the rules One of
these men is D. c. Johnson of Kins-

was running on a passenger train be

time of his dismissal.
It is said that the Santa Fe has had

railroad men call it, or in other words,
misrepresentation of cash fares. 1t is
not known in just what way this was
detected, but probably by spoilers or
by checking up the trains. Some
think it was the former and others are
of the opinion that the men were sus-

accounts. However, the company Sc

The late Isaac Hutson, uncle of VIII
liam HutsOn, buried the pot of gold on
the farm in the 70's and falling in,died
without being able to tell the spot
where the gold was buried. The gold
amounted to $50 600. z. lirs
When Hutson was on his death bed
he related that the gold was buried in
an old tea pot covered with a marble
slab taken from a wash stand. He
said: 1.-The man who plows the deepest
will find the gold" and it is presumed
that the treasure is buried in the open
field.
The gold consists of octagon-shaped
coins, supposedly $50 pieces, of the
kind that were coined by bankers in
California in the early days. These
coins are very rare and would bring
much more than their intrinsic value,
which is something over $50.

will employ in searching for the lost
treasure nor what sort of expert" he
will bring with him He is to receive
a share of the gold if he finds 1t.

MAY RIDE FOR NOTHING.
Some Prospect of Rate War for G. A.
r. Esncampment Business.


Indications point to trouble among
the eastern railrOa ds over rates for
the Grand Army encampment at Bos-
ton. Mass The Trunk Line and Cen
trail Passenger association roads a
short time ago decided to grant a
rate of l cent a mile, or S20.35 from
Chicago to Boston and return. The
regular standard one way rate from
Chicago to Boston is S22, and the diff
ferential rate is S19.
Although the rate granted for the
encampment is the lowest ever made
for any occasion, the sO-caIled diff
ferentiaI lines want a still lower rate
by applying the diherential they get
on first class business. The standard
lines refuse to consent to this. claim
ing that the bulk of the business
would go by the differential lines.
The Michigan Central has an
nounced that it proposes to make as
low a rate for the Grand Army en-
campment as it made by any other
road. and the Grand Trunk says its
rate shall be nineteen wenty-seconds
of the Michigan CentraIs rate. The
Erie, Nickel Plate and Wabash have
also given notice that they will in
sist on the same differentiaI as the
Grand Trunk Unless the trunk line
presidents take up the matter and
bring about a settlement the Grand
Army veterans stand a good chance
of getting lower rates this year to the
annual encampment than ever before,

ANOTHER NIARCELL JURY.
The Defendant Appears Weak and
Nervous in the Court Room.

Troy, May pa jury was impaneled
late Thursday in the case of J. E. Mar
cell, in which the defendant is accused
of forging the names of Putt & ShonyO
of Highland, the complaining witnesses,
to two notes of 50, 900 each. A venire of
70 men was summoned. All of them
were examined before the panel was
filed. The jury is composed of farmers
who live in the eastern and northeast
ern part of the county and much time
was consumed today in explaining to
some of them the meaning of questions
asked by the attorneys. One of them
was asked if he had formed or express
ed any opinion as to the guilt or inno-
cence of the defendant. He replied that
he did not know, but asked if he could
tell what he had said. The attorneys
could then judge for themselves.
Judge Stuart gave him permission.
He said he remembered saying to some
friends that MARCEL ought to be ex-
hibited in the Worlds fair. He was
promptly challenged and dismissed.
MARCEL complained of illness at the jail
and a physician was summoned to ex-
anime him. but said he was only trOu-
bled with nervousness. He appears
very weak, however, and was supported
by his father as he came up the stairs
to the court room. His mother attend
ed court the first time. The testimony
will begin today.
This case was tried last week and re-
suited in a hung jury. The vote stood
eleven to one for conviction.
