SMALL BOY SnOTHERS
IN A SAW DUST BIN

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 13.-Smother-
ed to death IN a sawdust bin Of Joseph
T. Pearson's box factory was the fate
yesterday morning OF thirteen-year-ol
Walter Sutcliffe. The boy, in company
with a chum, was playing on the roof
Of the factory, ana Walter jumped down
into the bin. Before he was rescued he
was so near death as to be beyond re-
ccvery.
The attraction OF the roof is the open
ing 10 the sawdust bin. which is located
near the center of the building. 4 huge
galvanized chute runs along the roof.
through which the dust from the various
mills is conveyed by immense fans to
the bin. There is a window at the point
where the chute empJies into the bin,
and from this a ladder leads to the
bottom of the bin. It is considered great
snort to Jump from the window into the
sa Wdust and climb up the ladder again
Walter Sutcliffe jumped down yestcr-
dav. For some unknown reason he sank
into the dust so deep that he was IN
abe 70 extriCate himself.
When his companion did not see his
friend reappear he Immediately descend
ed TO the street and told some boys
about the catastrophe.
When the boy was found he was
breathing family, but II was evident he
was almost dead. Bslcher wiped the
sawdust out of his eyes and mouth and
handed him up the ladder. Meantime
the police from the Trenton avenue and
Daupin street station we're on the scene,
and the body was placed in the patrol
and carried to the Episcopal Hospital,
but the boy was dead before he reached
the institution.

Frenchman Claims to
Have Discovered Per-
feet Method For

PARIS, Sept. 13.-5tephane Leduc. the
eminent professor Of the School of Med
icine at Nantes, has discovered a method
Of causing electric sleep which, 1t Is
declared, will replace ether and other
anesthetics in all surgical operations
The discovery proceeded from study OF
the effects OF intermittent currents and
from the knowledge that the skull and
brain cfrer but little resistance to the
currents,
For human being a current of
thlrty-f1ve volts is applied intermittently
in its full strength for minute fractions
OF second. The electrodes are applied
to the skull In a special manner, the
points or application being first care
fully shaved.
Prof. Leduc made scores Of expert
ments on dogs and on himself All were
successful. The application Of the cur

LAY ONLY BY lAMPIiGHT.
Mckeever Man Says He has Solved
Problem Of Eggs In Winter.

Hiram Scott, OF McKeever, believes
he has solved the vexatious problem
Of making hens lay eggs when they
don't want to- II ne has, road to
wealth Is open to farmers. He GER
tainly made his biddies come to the
scratch and profited thereby.
The discovery was largely due to
accident. but If Mr.. Scott hadn't been
an observing kind of man he would
still be minus the great secret
One night last winter when his
hens couldn't be coaxed to perform
their duty. he left lantern hanging
In his henhouse and forgot 1t. Next
morning he was shocked to find the
light still burning, for the lantern had
little oil In 1t and might have blown
up. Such things have happened.
But the farmer had a greater sur.
prise in store for him. All the hens
cackled. and in their nests were q
dozen fine white eggs.
It was plain that IL Of the IS hens
had laid in the night. and as they
hadn't accomplished such feat In a
month he judged the lantern had
something to do with It. Whether 1t
was the added warmth or the rays Of
light he didn't know, but 1t was plain
that the eggs had been laid.
Next night the lantern. well filled
with oil, was left in the same place
and more eggs were laid. The follow
Ing night the lantern was not lighted
and not an egg greeted Mr.. SCOTS
gaze in the morning.
It having thus been established that
the hens wouldn't lay except under
artificial light, the lantern was there
after provided.
Mr. Scott says that his hens are
dopey day times and sleep most of
the period between sunrise and sun
set. but that they appear healthy and
robust.-N. Y. World.
