ICE TEAM COLLIDES
 WITH RUNABOUT New Carriage of William E. Davis Suffers Considerable Damage on State Street. HARNESS WAS BROKEN So Driver Lost Control of Team and Ran Into the
 Carriage.

A break in the harness of one of his horses resulting In the loss of control of his team caused Henry Hellman, a driver for the Woodbridge Ice com- pany to run afoul yesterday afternoon of a runabout belonging to William B. Davis, the brick manufacturer of 693 Orange street with disastrous results to the carriage and a narrow escape for Mrs. Davis, who was in the runabout. Mir. and Mrs. Davis had been out driy- ing and came to State street and Grand avenue where MT. Davis alight- ed and walked up to look at the progress of the workmen in the cut. The carriage was left standing on state street with Mrs. Davis holding the reins.
 The ice wagon, with team of two horses, swung heavily down State street with the harness broken and the driver without control of his horses. The wagon swung across the tracks back of the carriage and struck the rear wheel on the left side, pulling it completely off the wagon.
 The carriage tipped to one side, but  Mrs. Davis held on to the reins until some men who were passing caught the horse by the head so that he would not run away. Mrs Davis then alight- ed.
 Mrs. Davis stated that she did not know the team was running until it struck the carriage and tore off the wheel. She said the team did not stop but turned into Grand avenue. At the Ice company's office it was stated that Hellman stopped his team on the bridge at Grand avenue and awaited the coming of representative of the company. The ice team carried the broken carriage wheel along with it. Mrs. Davis was uninjured, but had n narrow escape. The carriage, which was partially wrecked was new one which MT. Davis had purchased about six weeks ago. No blame for the ac- cident is laid on the driver. Hellman was not regular driver, but was talk ing the place of an absentee.

The Monkey Wrench.

The editor once had occasion to look
up the origin OF the name monkey
wrench" In response to the request Of
a young friend Of his who, quite nat
urally, could not understand what con.
nectlon there could be between a
wrench ana a monkey. Unless you
have made the same search you would
be surprised to hear how long 1t took
to get the information, Dictionaries
and encyclopedias were consulted in
vain, but well Informed mechanic
at last answered the question. 1t
seems that the wrench was invented
by a man named Charles Monckey,
and II was at first called a "Monckey
wrench" but the &C" was dropped aft
or a time. and II became plain mon
key wrench. Chicago News.

HORSESHOE CRABS.
The Necessity For Turning Them Over
In the Aquarium Pool.

The Necessity For Turning Them Over
In the Aquarium Pool.
It is not an unusual occurrence at
the aquarium for some humane visitor
to approach an attendant and say:
There's a horseshoe crab turned
over OH its back In the pool here. and
1t can't get back again Won't You
please come and turn it overY'
The attendant gets dip net and
climbs on to the coping around the
pool In which the big horseshoe crabs
are kept and reaches down In the wa
ter with 1t and turns the horseshoe
right side up. whereupon the craD
moves of comfortably
This, however, as done In such case
upon request. Is only what sooner or
later the attendant would nave done
of his own accord. for they here keep
an eye on the horseshoes as they do on
all the other impounded creatures.
1t might perhaps be wondered II the
horseshoe crab has to have a man to
keep 1t turned over here what it does
In the broad open water In which 1t
finds home. quite apart from man
and where 1t can't have any such as
sistance. The answer is that in its
natural home the conditions are very
different and that there it Is able to
turn over itself.
The horseshoe crab has a long, stiff,
spikelike tail, which Is Joined to Its
body with an attachment that works
like hinge. In the sea when horse
shoe gets turned over on Its back 1t
digs the point Of its tail into the sand
or mud on the bottom, and with that
to hold by 1t raises the tail end of its
body up of the bottom. In that more
advantageous position and with the
tail helping some as a lever the horse
shoe Is able to turn itself over.
In an aquarium pool. which is lined
with porcelain tiles so that 1t can be
kept clean, the horseshoe crab can't do
this, because there II can't find sand
or mud to stick its tail into to get a
brace. Occasionally a horseshoe that
has been overturned will by chance get
the tip of its tall into the angle form
cd by the floor and the wall Of the
pave and 50, with something to hold
against, get leverage enough to turn
itself over, but generally the big over
turned horseshoes lie on their backs
in the pool until they are righted.
The righting up OF the horseshoes al
ways interests the people standing
around the pool among whom there
are likely to be some who view 1t with
a more serious pleasure. A woman
said to an attendant who had Just turn
ed over two big horseshoe crabs:
Il am glad to see that you treat
them with kindness"

There Is an old saying In England

Like many other familiar sayings,
this is founded on a close observation
of the habits OF the birds Their In

tect the eggs or the young. If they
have been Matched, while the other
goes off In search of food. In good
weather both birds go on the search.
Sea gulls fly to the land during
storm not because they are afraid Of
It. but because the fishes, on which
they live principally. leave the surface
of the water while the storm lasts and
90 below. The gulls must have some
thing to eat. however, so they fly to
the land aud feed on the worms and
larvae that the rain drives out OF the
ground. Petrels, on the contrary, ny

cause they feed on the insects that
are TO be found in abundance about

SAN FRANCISCO TO
OPERATE GEARY
STREET RAILWAY
BIOwAimed at United RaiIrOadswhO
are Both Fighting the Strikers
and Getting Ready for
Charges Of Bribery

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2O.-San
Francisco is to have an experiment in
municipal ownership of public utilities.
The city will take over the Geary street
railway, This decision was arrived at
today by District Attorney Langdon.
after a conference with Chairman GAL
lagher of the board of supervisors.
That body will at once appropriate the
sum of 100000 for the purpose and
this amount will be added in the June
budget to the $350O0O already appro-
priated for the assumption of the rail-
road.
The board will employ a competent
version of the road from a cable sys-
tenn to an. electric conduit system.
About two years ago the franchise
OF the Geary street railway expired.
Application for renewal was refused.
But under an agreement that the COM
pany would surrender its road to the
city on demand. the supervisors grant
ed n temporary license to operate. car
rying the proviso that during the life
of this permit the company should pay
to the city a percentage of its gross
earnings. simultaneously with the eX-
II
of municipal acquisition was agtated
The result was that the people voted a
hond issue of $3.50, 900 to take over the
road This was to be followed at once
by municipal control. but the supervi-
sorial board neglected to take action
and since that time the road has been
operating under its temporary permit.
The recent strike of the carmen.
which completely tied up the car sys
TENS of the city caused the introduc-
ton In the board of. supervisors of n
resolution calling for the surrender of
the Geary street road. This was at the
instance of labor union leaders. The
resolution was not acted upon. Fear
ing that the cooperation of the road
would result in its absorption by the
city, Secretary Harper signed an
pay the union demand of 50 for an
eight-hour day. But the board of di
rectors instead of endorsing this con-
tract repudiated It, and dismissed fIar-
per. The charge is made that the de-
termination on the part of the district
attorney to cause the surrender of the
road to the city is a blow aimed at the
United Railroads. whose officials, in ad
dition to lighting the bitter strike.

probable Indictments on the charge of
bribing the supervisorial body and
Mayor Schmitz to grant the trolley
franchise under which the United Rail-
roads system is not being operated.
