A horrible accident occurred Saturday afternoon over at Findley's mill, just out from Northport. A negro named Boone, one of the best and most reliable hands about the mill while engaged in feeding logs to the rotary saw, in some way slipped and fell across the saw. The ne- gro's body was sawed in two immediately the saw entering just about the left shoulder and extending diagonally across his body. The parts of his body were thrown from the saw like bark from a log, one-half landing on one side of the saw and the remaining on the other side Those who witnessed the horrible acci- dent were dumfounded at the awful death and absolutely helpless In fact, the negro's body was severed before it was realized what had occurred. Just how the accident happened is not known. but, as suggested above it is thought that the unfortunate man slipped, and in this way was thrown on the saw.

DR.. Holmes Revenge.

When "The Last Leaf' was publish
ed by Oliver Wendell Holmes a critic
attacked it sa7agely and cruelty. DR..
Holmes, though importuned by friends,
did nothing in revenge. He waited for
time to avenge him, which time did
literally. The critic fell upon evil
days and ended his existence with sui
eide. The only morceau Of personal
revenge which the good doctor allowed
himself was to cut out the paragraph
about his enemy's career and paste
it in his scrapbook on the same page
which contained the original criticism
and the announcements Of the success
siye editions Of the poem. This was a
maid revenge, but even this was un-
worthy Of DR.. Holmes.

The FLYING Lizard of JaFa.

The curious little animals known as
flying lizards (Draco rolans) are only
found In Java, and their strange ap-
pearance Is supposed to have been the
origin Of the dragon Of the medieval
eastern Imagination. The reptile is like
an ordinary lizard, but is provided with
folds Of extensible skin which are
spread out by the long ribs and enable
the animal to glide through the air from
tree to tree in pursuit Of the insects on
which it preys. When lying prone on
the mottled surface Of bough, it Is
an excellent example Of protective re-
scmblance," as it is most difficult to be
seen ualess it moves.

WHEN WE. STAND UPRIGHT.
A Special Complex Mechanism Ena
bfes Us to Do II;

Special ConpisX mechanism Ena-
bies Us to Do II.
We are so accustomed to standing
upright as 4 natural attitude that few
Of us think what Il special complex
mechanism is required for this pur-
pose. 4 moments consideration will
show that the ordinary explanation Of
the erect position (the center Of gravi-
ty to be directly above the feet is in
sufficient. When man is suddenly
shot, whether from the front or behind,
he drops on his face, for the truth is
that there is much more weight in the
front Of the spinal column than be-
hind it.
The fact is that when We are stand
ing large number Of powerful mus
clcs (both front and back are stimuli
taneously at work, the effects of their
action being to neutralize each other.
Thus the legs would fall forward were
it not that they are kept vertical on
the feet by the strong tendon (the
"Achilles') at the back of the heel.
At the same time Tue luuscIeS ol lIe
thigh are tightened so as to prevent us
taking sitting position, and the mus
cles of the back are pulled tense so that
the trunk does not stoop forward. The
head is prevented from dropping on the
chest by the ligaments in the nape Of
the neck.
That the upright is not its normal
position is easily shown by the fact
that a man mods as he is falling asleep,
for us soon as the controlling nervous
force is deadened the head drops for
ward by its own weight, only to be
pulled back into position again with
q Jerk when the brain becomes sud-
denly aware Of an unusual attitude.

WALSH ONLY AGENT.
if Bank Owned Railroads He Will Not
 Be Prosecuted.

Chicago, April 17.-District Attorney Morrison declared today that if 1t is found after investigation by the government that the railroads believed heretofore to be owned by John R. Walsh were In reality owned by the Chicago National bank of which he was the president, the charges against MT. Walsh for mis- appropriating sSO0o.OOO of the funds of the bank will be nullifed.
 It is said that in the statement sub mitted by MT. Walsh to the government, 1t is declared that the directors and stock holders of the bank owned the railroad property and supervised it's operation. Mir. Walsh Is said to have acted as president of the bank, and not as actual owner of the railroads.
 The case of the government under the federal statutes rests on the 'wilful intent of the defendant" If 1t cannot be shown that MT. Walsh wilfully intended 10 de- fraud by making false reports to the comptroller of the currency, and all leged by mlsappropriating $3OO0,O00, there will be no case against him.
 If the railroads to which the money were loaned were owned by the bank, and not by MT. Walsh he was the agent of the bank in ioanng money to them, and according to District Attorney Nor rison, could not have been guilty of will ful intent to defraud the bank
