HAS NARROW ESCAPE
MASS OF PAPER FALLS ON OFF,
CIAL OF CAPITOL.

A fatal accident was narrowly averted
at the Capitol this morning by the prompt
action Of the Capitol police and q force Of
workmen. Mr.. Thomas J. Enright, assist
ant superintendent Of the stationery depart
ment, was engaged with a force OF work.
men in packing quantity Of heavy paper
In the basement of the building. when,
without warning, the great mass fell upon
him. crushing him to the floor. The paper
had been piled entirely to the ceiling Of the
apartment, and 1t is estimated that more
than ton Of 1t fell upon him: complete
ly covering Mr.. Enright from view and be-
ing piled high above him.
1t appears that the first bundle that fell
struck him on the head and rendered him
unconscious, and, it Is thought, would have
smothered him had not the workmen
worked rapidly in removing the great pile
OF paper beneath which he was buried.
In the Subbasement.
The place In which the accident hap
pened was one of the narrow alcoves in the
subbasement of the Capitol, where the
storerooms are located, and owing to the
restricted space 1t required hard work for
nearly an hour on the part Of the five
workmen to uncover him. Before taking
the main body of the paper of Mr.. En-
right space was opened through which
air could reach the imprisoned man. This
no doubt prevented him from being suffo-
Gated before he could be released.
Detective Weber and others examined
Mr.. Enright when he was removed from
his perilous position. It was found that he
had been considerably bruised but had not
sustained any broken bones. He was con-
veyed to his home, 245 North Capitol street,
where he received medical attention De-
tective Weber said that had Mr. Enright
been alone when the great stack of paper
fell 1t must have resulted in his death.

PHOTOGRAPHS IN DENTISTRY.

Dentists patients who have molars out under chloroform complain after ward of having heard strange and hor- rible noises during the anaesthetic sleep. A practitioner has bethought himself of a remedy for these unpleas- ant effects. He first of all removed his operating room to the back of the house. where no sounds reached from the street, and found that his patients, after the tooth pulling, awoke, If not from refreshing, at least from a peaceful sleep, What they took to be alarm gongs and falling ayalanches when under chloroform in the room at the front of the house were only the rumbling of carts and ringing of tram bells magnified during anaesthet- ic sleep, Now the dentist has devised a still greater improvement, While he pulls teeth phonograph in the next room sings the jewel song from "Faust, "Lohengrln's "Abschied," or the last drawingroom ballad. The pa tients' sleep is lulled by sweet music. When they awake they not only have been relieved of annoying molars, but carry melodious memories with them, and go away humming a tune.

THE SENTIMENTS oF THE Nayy

The Springfield Republican hears, from some source which it does not designate, that Navy officers are lar"ely disposed to condemn the cruise of the battleship fleet as @ freak per formance." We are therefore impelled to assure our valued contemporary that it has heard something which is not true. To begin with, it is neither the practice nor the privilege of navy officers to condemn a cruise or any other naval undertaking prescribed in orders from the commander-in-chief In the next place, we venture the state ment that if all the officers of the navy were officially directed to express their opinion as to the wisdom of the pros pective cruise, very nearly all of them would unhesitatingly declare it to be a timely and most commendable pro- ject, That so long voyage for so large number of warships will involve a certain amount of risk need not be denied, but to abandon the cruise on that account would be ridiculous. Ev- cry naval vessel in commission. en- bodies within herself an ever present element of risk Peril is inherent in the very service itself, and can be eliminated only by placing our ships out of commission, emptying their magazines and retiring their officers and men. The point Is urged that the passage of the Straits of Magellan is dangerous one. True enough. That is why our seagoing officers should familiarize themselves with it in time of peace in order that they may be able to make 1t safely If emergencies shall require, in time of war. The idea that navy officers largely condemn the cruise is best refuted by the fact that the proudest officers in the ser vice to-day are those detailed for a duty with the battleship fleet, and the saddest those who have not received such assignments The mere suggestion of the cruise has, moreover, greatly stimulated recruiting in the navy.--- Army and Navy Journal.

BIGGEST OF ALI ANIMALS

The sulphur bottom-or blue whale, as 1t is better called by the Norwe- gians--is not only the largest living an imal but the largest that has ever liv. ed, reaching a length of eighty feet or very rarely a little more. Whales grow much larger than this in books and newspapers, but in actual life not one in dozen even of this species at. tains length of eighty feet. The popular idea of whale is that it is a clumsy animal, but, as shown by mod. els, it has the graceful lines of a yacht, The total weight of whale is about sixty tons, and unusually large and fat individuals must reach at least sixty-five tons The largest animal of the past so far discovered Is the great Dinosaur brontosaurus. and this big reptile weighed about thirty-eight tons.
