saes Teacher For Betrayal.

Miss Ida Ackerman, sixteen years
old, has brought suit for $4,000
damages against Gilbert Van Clef, of
Bay Head, for betrayal. The papers
in the suit were made out in Asbury
Park. Van Clef was arrested and
held in $4,000 bail. The defendant
was Sunday-school teacher in the
neighborhood of Bay Head year
ago, and Miss Ackerman was mem
ber of his class. She charges in her
complaint that Van Clef made love to
her although he was married man
and gained her affection. He told her
he would get divorce from his wife
and marry her. Then he persuaded
her to elope with him. Van Clef, 1t is
said, left his wife and two children
penniless, and with his Sunday-school
pupil went west to Leavenworth,
Kan. After time the two came back
to Philadelphia, where, as alleged in
the complaint, Van Clef deserted the
young woman and returned to his
wife.

NEW JERSEY STATE MEMS
Original Drummer" Dead.

Henry j. Martindell, the first
American drummer to introduce
American goods in Europe and Aus
tralia, died at his home in Trenton,
at the age of seventy-five years. He
had been i'll for two years of disease
contracted on the road Martindell
always declared that he was the orig
inal American drummer. He was
known as well in Europe as he was
in America. It was while he was
travelling for the Lambertville Spoke
Works that he conceived the idea
that American goods would sell in
Europe by the same methods of
drumming. With an abiding faith
in the superiority of American manu-
factured goods he persuaded his en-
ployers that Europe, and more espe-
cially Australia and New Zealand,
promised fruitful market for their
goods. He was sent to Europe in
1866 to open up a market. This he
found exceedingly difficult at first,
but he finally succeeded in getting
Europeans to try his wares, with the
result that it was not long before he
had established for his firm an ex-
tensive foreign trade. He introduced
American-made spokes, wheels and
wagon frames into England, Scotland,
France, Holland, Switzerland, Ger
many and Russia His success in
Australia and New Zealand was no
less pronounced, and he was sent
twice to those countries.

RAT RAISING AN INDUSTRY
Enterprising Partisan Breeds Them
For Their skins.


For Their skins.
Among the sights not the least in
teresting in the city of Paris is a
regular rat pound, where the services
of the rodents are utilized for remov-
ing the flesh from the carcasses of
dead animals. A horse thrown in
over night is quite stripped by morn
ing, and it is the regular work of
men in charge to remove the beauti-
fully polished bones. Naturally. the
rats thus pampered increase at amaz-
ing rates, and invade the neighboring
slaughter houses. So it becomes nee
essary at regular intervals to have a
battue.
All around the heavy stone walls
of the pound are bored thousands OF
holes half the length of a rats body.
Early in the morning while the rats
are still at work on the skeletons en-
joying their meal men with lanterns
jump suddenly in, making a great
noise and clatter. The frightened rats
rush for the nearest refuge, and the
walls are soon ornamented with for
est Of whisking tails The rat collec,
tor then seizes each rat by the tail
and deposits it in a bag which he
carries over his shoulder. The skins
are largely used for making gloves.

SURGEONS USE TUNING FORK,
New Method by Which Fractures Are
Located.

NeW Methou Dy winch Fractures Are
Located.
A very simple method of locating
fractures in bones, particularly in
long ones. by the aid of a tuning
fork, is proposed by a Chicago sur
geon.
A stethoscope is placed over the
bone as near as possible to the point
of suspected fracture and on the side
where the skin is thinnest Then a
vibrating tuning fork is placed against
the flesh near the bone, but on the
other side of the fracture if possible

oscope, but if the break is be
tween the two. this sound will be
faint and irregular, as the vibrations
will not be transmitted past the
break.
Of course this method depends
upon the fact that hard bonn is an
excellent conductor of vibration, while
tissue is not. Perhaps even a more
valuable application of this idea
would be in finding out when break
has knitted properly, for when the
Joining is again perfect the sound viii
