SEA GIVES UP BANK CHECKS.
Papers Drift 500 Miles and Puzzle the
Finders.

London.-A remarkable discovery of
checks, which had drifted 500 miles
at sea has been made on the German
oas al Wyk, in the Island of Fohr.
They were drawn on the Dover
branch of the National Provincial
Bank OF England, the manager of
which was notified of their discovery
through Lloyd's agency at Fohr. The
German finders believed them to be
valuable, and asked if any reward was
offered for their recovery.
At first the whole affair vas a mys-
terry to the bank officials, but inquiries
resulted in a peculiar explanation.
About six months & a client of
the bank. who had changed his ad.
dress, placed a large number OF old
checks and other papers in a sack.
He had the sack taken out into the
straits of Dover and sunk.
In the drift of about 500 miles from
Dover to the Island of Fohr. off the
German coast, the sack had burst,
with the result that the checks it con-
tanned will probably be floating ashore
on various parts of the European
coast line.

SWALLOWS SNAKE IN WATER.
Cincinnati Man Has Unpleasant Expo
rience While Camping.

Lawrenceburg, Ind.-Shortly after
ne had taken a drink of water from a
spring while camping in Kentucky,
Thomas Jeffries, member of a Cincin-
natl club, became deathly sick, his
moans and groan awakening the 9th
er members of the party. His distress
soon alarmed his friends, and a mes
senger was sent to Petersburg, KY,
and returned with DR.. Ralph Tilley,
who, after a careful examination, was
unable to diagnose the Ease from the
external symptoms.
The doctor finally decided to admin
lister an emetic, which readily disclosed
the cause of the sudden illness. JET
fries complained to the doctor, saying
that he thought he had severed or
wrenched some parts of his internal
organs. DR.. Tilley found a garden
snake about five or six inches long
and alive. 1t is believed Jeffries swal,
lowed the snake when he drank at
the spring.
Jeffries said he was about half
asleep when he went to get the drink
of water, and he did not remember
swallowing the snake, but in a few
minutes afterward felt a peculiar sen.
sation in his stomach, a jerking and
twisting feeling. He was given a slim,
ulant and he improved rapidly. DR.
Tilley jokingly remarked that 1t was
the first time he knew or ever heard
of a man having snakes from drinking
water,
