About three months ago Erdell was

some loose shale that had been left
carelessly on the roof. piece of the
rock fell on the engineer and he was
carried out unconscious. In three weeks
he was out again and seemed none the
worse for the accident His condition

seriousness after the operation.

ANGRY SPHERE BROKE.

lions of Bees.

Says a Tokyo newspaper: IAN ex-
traordinary incident of fishermen be-
ing savagely attacked by a host of
bees is reported from Izu province.
About a dozen fishing boats from that
province We're fishing on the sea about
two miles off place called Chokokuji,
when at about 2 p. m. the fishermen
observed black spherical body NOV
ing high in the air. The sphere APP
preached the group of fishing boats,
making a droning sound.
"A fisherman on board a vessel
named the HanemOn Maru, being OBJ
sorbed in fishing, accidentally struck
the sphere with a long pole. The COM
pact body at once broke up into mill
lions of humble bees, and attacked the
fishermen from all directions, singing
them with terrible results.
"All attempts to drive the bees away
having failed, the fishermen jumped
into the sea or sought cOncealment
under the boards. Finally the boats
We're taken ashore. Some of the fish

Which Parted.

that her former husband w. II. Erd-
man, salesman for the p. S. Hessler
Mercantile company, had conspired
with another woman who passed as her
friend to secure a divorce from her.
and have then flagrantly violated court
orders by marrying his co-conspirator
before the expiration of one year Mrs.
Ida f. Erdman has asked the district
court in a petition to set aside the dl-
vorce granted to Erdman.
Although the former Mrs. Erdman's
petition fails to mention the name

against her and had Erdman file a
complaint containing charges "trumped

intimate friend. formerly Mrs. A. E.
Charleston.
In the divorce complaint filed in
January, 1906, Erdman accused his for
mer wife of having wounded his sem
sitive feelings by "nagging'' at him,
and being in a constantly irritable
frame of mind. On one occasion, he
says, she struck him a violent blow in
the face. with her fist, which action
also lacerated his feelings. He re-
ceived decree on January 81, 1906.
Mrs. A. f. Charleston. whose hus-
band had tailoring establishment at
Downing and Champa streets, was then
Mrs Erdman's warmest friend.
In April. 1906, Charleston is said
to have instituted suit for divorce from
his wife on the ground of desertion and
cruelty and obtained a decree. Last
August. when Mrs. Erdman saw an an
nouncement of the marriage Of w. H.
Erdman and Mrs A. E. Charleston at

some time in London and while there

with the English lady. Writing Tor
