A QUEER GLOvvvoRM. !
Smithsonian Institution is Asked to
Classify Insect Found. by Il
~ Conductor.

Bessemer, Ala Conductor Gleason,
Of the Louisville & Nashville railroad,
captured peculiar worm on Red
mountain that no one has yet been
able to class, and he has sent it to the
Smithsonian Institution to have it ex-
amined and classed. The worm is
about two and one-half inches long,
Of dark color, no fur or hairs, but a
shell-like back, there being II joints
and at each joint yellow streak
across the back.
On each side where the worm comes
in contact with the ground are yellow
dots. ten on each side. At night these
streaks and dots are as bright as an
electric light, and when crawling the
worm looks not unlike a trolley car
with many lights on the sides. 1t ia
| not of the glowWorm order, for the
lights are steady and bright. and
when first seen by Mr.. Gleason the
ground for some distance around the
worm showed steady, continuous
light as bright as electricity. Tht
worm is q curiosity, and is the frs
of its kind ever seen by anyone WHIT
tfhas examined it. When travelling
along with all lights burning it is /
most peculiar and interesting object

Glassport. Pa.Before he retired res.
Gently Eugene Carpenter of this place,
went to his chicken house to make sure
that brood of $50 little chickens was
safe. Then he locked the doors OF the
place and went to bed in peace. When
he again visited the chicken house he
found SO chicks lying on the floor dead,
while the others were nowhere In sight.
Greatly puzzled he searched high and
low, but no place was there any indica-
ton Of a thief having entered during
the night. Neither would 1t have been
possible for the chicks to have escaped
Of their own free will.
Finally. as he was about To give up the
search, he discovered two immense
bIacksnalses coiled up In one cornersoi
the chicken house. The snakes did not
put up any fight, and were easily killed
Their bodies were almost as thick us i

measured over seven feet fiji length.

WILL BREED BIZ ouNDs
State Of mississippi Needs Better
Dogs 10 BUN DSysn Escap-i
ing Criminals.

New Orleans, La "a e Several recent
failures to run down escaping criminals
with b1oodhounds and some mistakes
made by the hounds in tracking the
wrong persons have convinced the Mis-
sissippi authorities. OF the necessity Of
improving the breed OF hounds
There are no state hounds, and the
authorities are compelled to depend
upon such packs as the sheriffs or fam.
ciers may offer. These are far from
satisfactory, for the local business done
by the hounds is not SUFFICIENT to JUS
rify any considerable expenditure in
raising or maintaining them.
On the other hand, the greater free
dom granted the convicts because Of
the system Of state convict farms, rem
ders some better provision for their
recapture necessary. The beginning q
state pack has been made by the pur-
chase by the state of the bloodhound,
Robin Hood, said to be the finest in
Mississippi. 5;.. b 81
Robin Hood will be used in running
down all escaped convicts from the
4 state farm at Rankin county, under
the direction of Sergeant Fancy. He
will be used also to improve the breed
Of dogs at the several state farms.
Robin Hood came from a kennel at
Lexington. KY, and has made a fine
record in tracking fugitives in southern
Mississippi where he was owned by a
man who is now a trusty convict. At
Virgins, in Harrison county, he took
up the trail of murderer "a hours old
and ran the criminal to earth. At Plea
yune he was equally successful with a
12-hour-old trail, and so far he has
made no mistake or failure:
He is a light brown. has atemassive
jaw that will; bring the stoutest fugitive
to the. earth and has the striking dull
red eye of the thoroughbred blood
hound. He is so dreaded among the

Prof. Richet. the eminent investi-

Research and an audience including
Sir Oliver Lodge, Prof. Barrett ard
other noted students of this subject.
Prof. Richet said that observations,

BOY SLEEPS EIGHT WEEKS.
Child Of Six Suffering with Spinal
Meningitis Comes Out Of Coma
After Long Period

= New York.---A sfx-year-old boy I'm
Yonkers, attacked with spinal menin-
gifts, was in deep sleep for more
than eight weeks. He has lost the
sight of one eye; his weight has fallen
off from CT to IS pounds; he is fed
artiflcially and has been sleeping on
an ice pillow, yet there is a chance
that he may recover.
The boy who has gone through all
this and has excited the interest Of
physicians all over the country, is Jo-
seph Canopi, the son Of contractor.
Several months ago he ate a hearty
supper and shortly afterward COM
planned of feeling i'll. His parents
sent for DR.. Edward Duffy. The little
fellow became unconscious. DR.. Duffy
pronounced his ailment to be cerebro-
spinal meningitis. From the time the
boy lapsed into Inconsistencies until
recently he has not once been awake.
All efforts to arouse him from the
stupor have proved futile.
DR.. Edward Hermance, Of Yonkers
has also attended the boy. DR.. Oar
ltngton, of the health board, is great
ly interested in the case. He declared
that it is unparalleled in medical his.
tory. There have been numerous in
stances of persons remaining in d
state Of coma for many DAYS. but none
so prolonged as the case Of Canopi.
/ Physicians account for the condition
Of the boy on the theory that q bloc,
clot has formed ON the brain. Hi
spine is covered with an ice coil ant
his head rests on a pillow filled witt
ice. 1t is hoped that the clot ma,
be absorbed or reduced. It is the re

the celebration of the semi centennial
Of the st. Mary's ship canal, which has
been held and for which the national
government, the state of Michigan and
the city of Cleveland made liberal APP
preparations, it is interesting to note
that during the so years the waterway
has been in commission the yeaIly
traffic has increased from a minimum
of 145O3 tons to a maximum OF S5,-
961 JAG tons. The increase in tonnage
of each years traffic over that OF the
preceding year has averaged about ~
per cent. .5
The movement of freight to and
from Lake Superior previous to the
opening of the state canal in 1865 vas
entirely by boat to Sault Ste. Marie,
where the cargoes were unloaded, then
taken across the portage, one mile
long. and reloaded into other boats
In 1851 about 1900 tons of freight
passed over the tramWay portage. The
to Lake Superior ports
comprised hay, OATS dry goods, gro
ceries and mining machinery to the.
value of $1,OO0,OO0 and those to lower
lake ports included copper, iron and
fish, in all valued at $675, 0OG-
The value of the freight passing the
canals last season was $334, 500, 686;
the amount was 81, 546.106 tons. The
most valuable single commodity was
wheat, $50. 125 ,3l4, and closely foiioW.-

With documentary Evideace.

CLEVELAND, o., March 9.--Andrew
Carnegie, who recently came here
from Florida as witness in the Chad
wick case, accepted an invitation ia
visit Oberlin college today. Mr.. Car
negie is spending the day at the college
as the guest of President King Not
long ago MIR. Carnegie subscribed
S125,000 toward fund for a library
for Oberlin college and later gave
$4,000 to needy persons of the town
who suffered as result of the closing
of the Citizens National bank of Ober-
lin. Among the latter were many stu
dents at the college.
The case of the government against
Mrs. Chadwick has been completed.
One witness for the Defense an expert
accountant, was sworn, but an adjourn
ment was taken before he had given
any testimony.
The session of the court was taken
mp by the introduction as evidence OF
checks, deposit slips, books of the
bank and two letters written by Mrs.
Chadwick to Beckwith and Spear.
The most important point made by
the state was gained after a hard fight
with the attorneys for the defense by
the admission as evidence of two
drafts aggregating $4,000 issued by
the Oberlin bank in favor OF Mrs.
Chadwick. Aug "A. 1908, On this same
date Mrs. Chadwick obtained from the
bank certified check for $12,500, and
Receiver Lyon testified that there was
nothing on the books Of the bank TO
show that at the time Of receiving the
drafts and the check Mrs. Chadwick
had a cent of money in the bank OF
was in any way entitled to credit.
