MEETS AWFUL DEATH
ACROSS LIVE WIRES
EXPERT L|NEMAN ELECTR0CUTED
Andrew hgraman Employed By Northwestern
Gas & Electric ca, Stunned BY Shock Falls on Wires
On Pa|ouse Street And Is Burned 10 Crisp

Screaming for help, enveloped in the deadly
flashes Of electricity from the great voltage Of
the feed wires Of the Northwestern Gas and
Electric Company, wrapped in flames from his
clothing and suffering awful agony, Andrew
lngraman, head lineman and "rustler, or expert,
working on the new lines being installed by the
company for the electric road feeders, was elec-
trocuted and literally roasted to death shortly
before noon today.
While the fearfully tortured man swung on
the deadly wires his comrades stood helplessly
below to listen to the agonized appeals for as
sistance, fearful of incurring the same fate if
they dared the attempt to rescue the dying
victim.
1t was death horrible beyond the power Of
description, riivalng in terrible torture the most
terrific scene of punishment depicted in a canto
Of Dantes Inferno.
The clothes Of the dying man were mass
Of Aames From his scared body came the
friightful odor Of burning flesh. In great holes
and gashes the fierce current licked upthe barred
flesh, clear to the bone, as swiftly as thoug gh it
were paper blazing from oil soaked fire.
1t was sight sickening- shocking beyond re-
alization. The horror Of the scene was added
to by the inability Of the linemen to give aid.
Old men, witnesses Of many deaths in the
dangerous work, foremen to act in emergencies,
stood by dazed beyond power Of thought or
action. For what seemed hours they stood
trans6xed with the terror Of the thing which
had brought a comrade to a frighful suffering.

Illness which compelled him once to
keep to his bed for a time. he con-
ceiyed liking for lying abed, and
did all his work and took his meals
snugly ensconced in the blankets.
The latter part of his life, indeed,
was spent entirely in bed The pro
fessor had an unreasonable dread of
catching cold, and would never allow
his bedroom window to be opened.
Written exercises by students were
first warmed on a stove before he
would touch them. His death was
caused by visit from an old farmer
who wished to consult him, and by
some mistake entered the bedroom
with clothes plentifully besprinkled
with snow Herr Oedmann angrily
ordered him away, but the visitor,
who was deaf, drew nearer to his
bedside. This excited the warmth

broke a blood vessel and died.

For a moment Thurston was 81

child that for four years he had
lived a loveless life because he had
asked the woman he loved to sacri-
fee her little son to his career. He
had heard vaguely that she, too, had
found success as a writer, but he had
never met her. For answer he caught

he had given when his sister visited
him.
Supplied with two slices, plenti-

In the past few years, since cleo
trical industries have increased so
enormously, it has been observed
that men employed in electrical
works enjoy, upon the whole, re-
markedly good health, and are mar
velously free from consumption,
bronchitis, and similar chest and
throat ailments. No doubt this is due
to the fact that the electricity dis
charged into the atmosphere turns
the oxygen into ozone. Ozone is the
agent which makes sea air so health
full. 1t is a strong disinfectant and
germ killer, and that is why the cleo
trical industries must be classed
among prolongers of life.
Men who work in the cold storage
cellars, where the temperature aver
ages twelve degrees below freezing
point all the year round, are also a
very strong and healthy lot, no doubt
owing to the cold killing all germs in
change.

The Sun Dance.

DR.. Dorsey, writing in the Los An
geles Herald of the native tribes of
the West, remarks that what is
known as the sun dance has no evil
dence of the sun in 1t.
1t is instead an ancient rite con-
tinued till much of the reason for IS
institution has been forgotten, but
what is known is that 1t is regular in
recurring, that 1t is kept up eight
day and illustrates the creation or
regeneration of the world. This
would seem to denote that 1t is a
counterpart Of the Bacchic rites and
Adonis worship Of former periods in
which under the figure of the death
and resurrection of the divine being,
the whitening and renewed growth Of
vegetation were implied.

Ingenious Lock.

A Jamaica inventor has construct
ed a remarkable combination lock
that seems likely to defy the most
expert lock picker. The combination
is arranged in four sets of letters,
twenty-four letters in each, and each
letter represented by figure. 1t can
be set to a sentence in almost any
modern language, one letter being
taken from one set, one from an
other, and so on. The person who
would open the lock must first know
what letter each figure represents
and then what language the sentence
is in. The Scientific American con-
siders that one trying to pick the
lock would have to work over &c.
100000 years at the rate of sixty
numbers a minute before arriving at
the correct Observation-Disclosures.

but the usual length is from seven to
eleven feet. The tail feathers grow
about four inches Il month, and this
growth is continued during the life
of the bird. whose term of existence
averages from eight to nine years. The
body feathers are beautiful and valu
able and from the shoulder grow to
length of about four feet. They some
times fall away but the tail feathers
remain. An unusually feathery bird
will have as many as twenty-four tai
feathers. The average number is six
teen, and they are not bound up, but
are allowed TO hang free.
These valuable fowls are not per
mitted to wander at will about the
fields or the chicken yard, If they did
they might spoil their feathers. they
are kept in high, narrow cages, qulte
dark except close to the top, as llght
at the bottom would attract the birds
to the ground. The fowls sit all day
on their perches and are only taken out
of the cage once in two days. Ihey
are then allowed to walk about for Il
half hour or so, and while they prone
made a man holds their tails to prevent
the latter becoming torn or soiled. For
