Gently celebrated his seventy-seventh
birthday, has been suffering from poor
eyesight, and his failure to see the
edge of the terrace on which he was
walking in the rear of his home was
the cause of the accident Early in
the evening, when walking along the
rear of his home, he stepped off the
terrace and fell between two small out
buildings. He was made unconscious
by the fall and it was some time be-
fore he was able to make an outcry.
When one of the servants found him
he was so tightly wedged in between
the buildings that he could not release
him. The servant had to call others,
who, with ropes, extSicated the injured
man.
Owing to his advanced years it Ii
feared that DR.. Roberts will not sur.
vive his injuries. He appears to bt
suffering from paralysis.

Recent discoveries seem to show
that each OF the larger planets is &C

M. Caverau, of France, has discoy-
cred that the eggs of insects contain

A table of pulse-beats at the differ

Clayton in 1901 The atmospheric

meteorological, who finds very regu-
lar increase of one heartbeat per min

in pressure.
The recent discovery that alloys not
containing iron can be made as mag
netic as iron has suggested the new
theory that magnetism depends upon
the grouping of the molecules. When
the special magnetic structure IS made
better known, it is hoped to improve
upon electrical magnets by adopting
for them an alloy of great power, thus
tightening the moving parts in cleo
trical machines

 Uu Io.Day.

Washington, Feb 23-Upon conven- ing today in the house the military academy appropriation bill with the senate amendment was called up by Mr Hull of Iowa, chairman of the committee on military affairs.

Hawley of Connecticut a brigadier general on the retired list, which was reserved for discussion. Mir Hull explained that the senate claimed in putting in the amendment that it was carrying out precedent estab. lished by the house in another case. If the amendment was agreed to he thought the name of General Peter J. Osterhaus should be coupled with 1t. The reference to General Osterhaus was greeted with applause. Mir Hull offered an amendment including the name of General Osterhaus. Both amendments were agreed to without discussion and the bill was sent to a conference.
