PUTS LEGS UNDER TRAIN.
Welshman Deliberately Suffers Am
putation So That He Might OBJ
tain Accident Insurance.

Cardiff, Wales.-An extraordinary
case has just been decided at the as.
sizes here. Edward Samuel May,
known as "the man with the iron
nerve" brought suit against the Taff
Vale Railway company for damages
for the loss of both legs. May has lost
his suit, the railway contending that
he deliberately sat down beside the
railroad track and put his legs on the
rails for the train to run over them
below both knees.
Mays story was that while travelling
on the company's line a violent jerk
OF the train threw him against the
carriage door, which opened and al.
lowed him to fall upon the rails. A
succeeding train cut off his legs.
Witnesses told of the remarkable
nerve displayed by the man. Although
he must have been enduring terrible
agony, he actually bound up his bleed.
ing stumps by means of handkerchiefs.
He had belonged to an ambulance
corps, and the medical evidence was
to the effect that the "first aid" rem.
dered by May himself was efficient in
every detail.
The company showed that May had
supplied himself with a number of in
surance coupons, that he had been
three days out Of work, was In debt
TO his landlady, that out Of total
stock of four handkerchiefs he had
taken three with him, that although
he was said TO have fallen out OF the
train. he bore no signs of injury-ex
cept the amputated legs-and that the
limbs were cut on such an even line
that they must have been placed par
allel on the rails.
II was also shown that before ths
accident" May had told a friend hS
had dreamed he was going to have hi.
legs amputated below the knees. The
jury brought in verdict for the com
psny, and May has lost his suit as wei
as his legs.

football as to do fRof. WILLIAMS.
away with roughness and other OBJ
jectionable features in the game the
sport will be deposed from its position
as part of the athletic programme of
the middle western universities for
period of two years. This was the ulti-
matum given the friends and followers
of football by the big nine" college
faculty representatives at the closing
session of their football reform" meet
ing at Chicago recently. The action was
in the form of mass radical recon-
mendations in regard to college ath-
letics made by the professors. The
resolution of the body ponds on the final
confirmation of the various universities
who sent their representatives to the
meeting. Possible adjustment was but
one of the staggering blows dealt the
game as 1t has existed for years in the
colleges. Among the radical moves that
will come close home to the big Nine"
schools, if the recommendation are car
ried into effect, were the doing away
with purely professional coaches, the
barring of ali students with college de-
grees from teams. the limiting of the in
tercollegiate schedule of each school to
five games, the shortening of the foot
ball season by two weeks, doing away
with the Thanksgiving game and the
disbarment of freshmen from COMPETE
ton for the period of one year. The
passing of professional coach, if author
lied by the colleges, will perhaps do
more than any other one of the new rules
to change the football map of the west,
providing the game finally passes
muster. Such men as A. Alonzo Stagg,
professor and head of the department of
physical culture of the University OF
Chicago: Prof Harry Williams, of the
University of Minnesota, and Prof.
George Huff, OF the University of ILL.,
nois. will remain to add more glory to
their athletic records. These men were
protected by the conference by the
Recommendation that "coachers of the
teams shall be members of the univer-
sity faculties" They are not profess
sional coachers, as they are directly con-
nected with the academic side of their
respective universities

left" he says, with the three forces
which hold sway in the Arctic basin.
The first is the wind which blows
east and eastsoutheast, according to
Lieut.. Ray, of the United States, who
had station for four years at Point
Barrow, The second is the rotation
of the earth, which If it were the only
force would carry the ice round and
round the Arctic basin. The third is
the output of the rivers from the ST.
berian coast which impels the ice, and
consequently any ship embedded in it,

Greenland" Capt. Bernier holds that
bis course, starting from point a
little eastward of the position of the
Jeanette when she went down,
would unquestionably bring him
within 100 to $50 miles of the north
pole.
OF the problem of reaching the pole,
after his drifting vessel had carried
him to the nearest point possible,
Capt. Bernier says:

SEEKS NORTH POLE
CAPT. BERNIER WOULD DRIFT
TO COVETED GOAL.
Journey of Wreckage of Jeannette
Gives Navigator Idea Which He
Will Demonstrate in His Pro-
posed Voyage

From information, the gathering of
which he began in 1854. Capt. ]. E.
Bernier, French-Canadian nayiga-
tor. of half-century's experience as a
sailor, is forming plans for an actic
expedition in the interest Of the
Canadian government, in which he
feels assured Of discovering the north
pole and laying bare secrets which
have bafied the worlds most noted
scientists and explorers since time be-
gan.
This French-Canadian skipper of 65
ships-whose work as a pilot on the
coast of Labrador, as sealing master
of Newfoundland and navigator in
arctic waters, has afforded him a wide
nautical experience-began years ago
to interest himself in polar discov-
cries. The result of his study and OBJ
servations may be summed up in the
bold generalization that, hitherto, in
attempting to reach the pole man has
failed because he has gone against
Nature instead of following her and
seeking from her the solution of the
problem he was attacking. Capt. Ber-
niers guiding principle is that Ma
ture always tells the truth, and she
alone is the safe guide Following
out this principle he has come to the
conclusion that the only way for a
ship to reach the pole is to allow the
natural currents to carry her across
the Arctic basin. In support of this
theory, Capt. Bernler advances the
case of the unfortunate Jeanette.
This vessel was not specially built for
ice navigation, but was originally, I'M
der the name of Pandora, pleasure
yacht, left San Francisco in July,
1879, under command of Capt De
Long, an American of French de-
scent She was fitted out with a
view to exploring Wrangle Land and
Behring sea- Passing through
Behring strait this vessel was pushed
within close quarters of the land and
became fast in the ice on September
G. She drifted with the ice pack for
nearly % months when her crew were
forced to abandon heron 18th of June,
1881. For three years no trace of the
Jeanette was found; then wreckage
from her was discovered at JuliaG's
Had on the west coast Of Greenland.
Perhaps the most interesting part
Of Capt. Bernier's plan is that which
deals with his probable movements
after the salt water current has taken
his ship into the ice. eve are then

THE WINTER WOODS
OBSERVATIONS MADE IN PER-

Sun Bright and Snow Firm-First
Creature Discovered Snow Shoe
Hare-Trail of White-Footed
Mice-A Deer Trail.

The thermometer. stood at ten below,
as, kneeling, | frightened the last strap
Of my snow-shoes, pulled on my nit
lens, and started for tramp through
he woods. At each breath drawn
through the nostrils, the sharp air bit
like ammonia fumes. Absolutely pure,
too, il was, for the ground was hidden
under two feet of spotless, unbrokcn
snow. The sun had just risen, there
was no wind, and the snow was firm
but not glassy-the snow-shoeing was
perfect.
AS | entered the woodland, some
thing moved in the underground; |
heard it, for the movement was close
to me, but could not see living
thing. Quietly, ! stood there, watch
ing, and presently saw a bright, dark
eye, something larger than a shoe-but
ton, watching me closely from beneath
the lower branches of a white pine.
At first | could not see the owner Of
that eye, but by and by made out a
which proved to be the outlines of a
pair of ears. Then | saw that it was
a snow-shoe hare in his white winter
coat, which rendered him practically
invisible. on winter day like this.
moved quietly toward him, and then
he jumped and went away in a series
of wonderful leaps. and was soon
lost TO view among the trees. But his
shallow trail remained, sharply out
lined on the hard surface of the snow.
The ma of each of his four feet was
distinct and separate and together
they formed perfect letter "Y."
Not caring to follow the trail of the
hare, | kept on my way, and before
long came to a level space quite clear
of trees and somewhat higher than the
ground about it, When | was quite
near ii, small, dark mouse-like crea-
ture hurried across this open space,
and was followed Immediately by an
other. Evidently they were shrews,
and as they disappeared at once, was
naturally curious to see what they had
been doing and where they had gone
to. The first thing to do, of course,
was to find their footprints; but alas!
this first thing was just what couldn't
do. The snow was so firm that the
delicate feet of the tiny creatures had
made no impression which was visible

The trails of white-footed mice We're
visible everywhere | went. but even
these were much less conspicuous thaa
they would have been in softer snow.
A few minutes later | crossed an
other trail of quite different charac-
ter. IL consisted of two parallel lines
of holes. Each nole was dumb bell
shaped; a man might make such a
hole by plunging his clenched fist into
the snow twice, making two round i'm
pressions, one directly In front of the
other. and then connecting these by
drawing a walking.s stick through the
snow between. Plainly enough this
trail had been made by deer.
Taking up the trail of the deer,
soon reached belt of young spruces
through which the animal had passed.
! was walking as quietly as possible,
and as parted the branches with my
hands, two mice darted almost from
under my snow-shoes. and leaped away
at high speed across the snow. Both
made straight for particular white
pine growing not far away, and raI
nimbly up the trunk of II. Then lost
sight of one while watching the other.
which ran out onto branch. twined
his long silky tail spirally round a
twig, and sat peering at me from be-
hind bunch of pine needles. All this
was more or less Of an old story; what
| wanted TO know was what mischief
they were up 10 when almost stepped
on them. stopped down, and, part
ing the lower branches of a young
spruce, | found close 10 the toe of my

deer IL had five points, some of
which were partly buried in the snow.
II had probably belonged TO the animal

ready TO drop. Il had doubtless done
SO at the touch OF the spruce boughs.
On the beam" there were few par
allel cuts. evidently made by the teeth
of mice: the little rascals had begun
10 eat II, though Il could not have
been on the snow more than a few
hours. And yet. how often are we
asked: 'tIf IL is true that deer shed
their antlers every year. why don't We
find the antlers that are shed?"
