A LEGEND OF BREsLAU.
How st. Mary's Bell Became a Death
Ringer.

Ringer.
Limerick is not the only city in the
word that is concerned over its bells.
Breslau has a legend all to itself, less
charming perhaps than that of Linz
erick, but more ruggedly impressive.
Perhaps, also, it should be added that
the Silesian capital takes to it's legend
more seriously. At any rate, 1t pro-
poses to erect a monument to its
great founder, whose famous bell of
the Church of st. Mary was cast in
1885. The story is that when his
bell was ready for casting, the
founder, after his great labor, went
to take food, and during his absence
his apprentice, despite a strict prohi-
b1tion, opened the stopcock of the
crucible and let out the molten metal.
The tnfuriated master, disregarding
the youths appeal for mercy made in
Christ's name, poiniarded him on the
spot, and finding afterward that his
bell was none the worse, was plunged
in remorse. Condemned for the
crime, he asked on his way to the
block to be allowed to hear his bell
Tor the last time, and through the
centuries ever since it has tolled the
knell of the doomed. The German
poet Muller celebrates the legend In
verse.-London Globe.

Bad Weather for Ties.

Superintendent Berry of the Tie pre-
serving plant has just returned from
a business trip to Omaha. He has the
tie plant here in readiness for treating
ties, but says the cold weather is de-
the work of getting the ties to
Fort Steele. All the small streams III
the mountains, along which the ties
have been stacked to be floated to the
Platte river and thence to the loading
station at Fort Steele are frozen up
every night and no attempt has
been made yet to get the ties down
stream. He looks for about 500 GOO
ties and several thousand mine tim
bers and switch ties to be treated here.
The plant with its third retort is rea-
dy for business when the ties come.

are full of loaded cars held here during

SUGGESTS COMPANY

Hon. N. F. Spicer, president of the
city council, has suggested that the
boys of the city organize for the pur.
pose of collecting old tincans to be
treated under the Bills patent for the
recovery of the tin and solder used in
their manufacture, and in a note to the
editor of The Republican suggests:
Get the boys to work when they
have a spare hour, and make some
money for themselves and rid the town
of old tin cans. They can gather up
the cans in some convenient place and
ship them to Denver. The boys can
form a little company and have one
that is competent to be the business
manager, and all have an equal inter
est and divide the profits"
It's up to the kids" The sugges-
ton seems to be a good one.

VEGETARlkNs THE STRONGER
Yaie's Flesh Eating Athletes Beaten In
Severe Endurance Tests.

Professor Irving Fisher of Yale be-
HevcS that he has shown definitely the
inferiOrity in strength and endurance
tests of meat eaters to those who do
not eat meat. For more than year
Professor Fisher carried on the expert
mentS with two groups OF men.
Athletes who were meat eaters wed
with those who were practically alb
staners from flesh food. and in every
case the abstainers won. Some of
Yales most successful athletes took
part in the strength tests for meat eat
ers. and Professor Fisher declares they
were obliged to admit their inferiority
in strength
Professor Fisher says in the Yale
Medical Journal:
"Thc first comparison (for arm hold
ing shows great superiority on the
side of the flesh abstainers. Only two
of the fifteen flesh eaters succeeded in
holding their arms out over a quarter
of an hour, whereas twenty-five of the
thirty-two abstainers surpassed that
limit None of the flesh eaters reached
half an hour, but fifteen of the thirty
two abStainerS exceeded that limit. OF
these nine exceeded an hour, four ex-
! ceeded two hours, and one exceeded
three hours.
in respect to deep knee bending, II
we take the number 325 for reference,
we find that of the nine flesh eaters
only three surpassed this figure. while
of the twenty-one abstainers seventeen
| surpassed it. Only one of the nine
flesh eaters reached 1000 as against
six of the twenty one abstainers. None
| of the former surpassed 1000 as
against two of the latter. i,
"In general it may be said that what
ever the explanation there is strong
evidence that low proteid, nonf1esh
J or nearly nonf1esh, dietary is conducive
! to endurance
